How to Preserve Women.

Under this head the Springfield (Mass.)
Republican makes the following very sensi-
bic suggestions, which. if more generally ad-
opted by the sex, would produce a class of
women much better for the responsible du-
ties of their position than the great mass who
are daily and hourly seen promenading the
sidewalks Let those for whose benefit it is
intended carefully treasure the receipt and
apply the remedy:
There is nothing in this world that we
think SO much of as we do of women. Our
mother is woman--wfe, sisters, pretty cou-
sins, are all women; and the daughters will
be, if (Heaven spares themD they live long
enough. And then there is the love of women
in general, which we do not deny A fine,
magnificent specimen of the sex, full
of life and heath-a ripe, red cheek and lip
and flashing eye is something that does one
good to look at, as she iluminates the hum
drum side walks Of the every day street. A
North river steamboat under fall headway
with colors flying, is rather pretty sight
rather string and inspiring; and we pull up
our tired nag on the shore to see her pass,
and admire the swell she cuts Comparative
ly, however the steamer sinks into insignf-
canoe, or some other very deep water, by
well-kept, we'll dressed woman. There is
no rubbing it out: women are an ornament,
charm, blessing, beauty and bliss of life
(man's life, we mean of course,) and any
means that can be devised for preserving
them should be publicly made know. They
are different from any other kind of fruit.
You cannot pickle; vinegar absolutely spois
them. You cannot do them up in sugar and
set them in cold room, with paper
soaked in brandy over their mouth
You cannot put them in cans and seal them
up alright without injuring their flavor.
Now, as men are so dependent upon women
for lifes choicest blessings, proper mode of
preserving them becomes matter of great
moment, and we are sure that the public will
thank us for an unfaling receipt. Here they
have it.
Wash clean in cold water as often as three
times a week in cold weather, and every day
in warm weather and then rub dry with q
coarse towel. If the skin takes on a blush
under the friction of the towel, so much the
better. 1t betrays inherent vitality and {
happy reaction. After the glow is we'll es
tablished, dress in winter with thick flame
-fanel jacket next to the skin, and pail
Of flannel drawers, which, like the jacket
were better knit, and fitted closely. Over the
termination Of these, heavy woolen or worstec
hose should be drawn. If this preliminary

A TTENTION is hereby directed to the follow

A good Editor, competent news
paper conductor, is, like general or
poet. bOrn--not made. Exercise and
experience give facility, but the quail
ifcation is inate, or it is never mani
tested. On all the London daily pa
pers all the great historians, noveIists,
poets, essaysts. and writers Of travels,
have been tried, and nearly all have
filled. We might say all have failed;
for after a display of brilliancy, brief
hut grand, they died out, literally
Their resources were exhausted. 81

to Moore, "fnd any number of men
Of genius to write for me, but very
seldom one man of common sense. -
The "Thunderers" in the Times, there
!ore, have, so far as we know, been
men of common sense. Nearly all sue
;essful editors have been men Of this
description. Campbell, Carlyle, Bull
Iwer, and D'israeli, failed; Barnes, Ster-
Ing, and Phillips, succeeded, and De-
Lane and Lowe succeeded. A good
Editor seldom writes for his paper; he
'eads, Judges, selects, dictates, directs.
alters and combines; and to do all this
well, he has but little time for compo-
|siiion. To write for a paper is one

The Test of Adams Obedience.

Why did God test the fidelity OF
Adam, by prohibiting the fruit OF the
Tree ctMe nno,cledge Of gocd 0Hd eriN'
This inquiry, so often put by inquisi-
tive minds, is pcrtincntiy answered by
DR.. Symon Patrick, in his note Oh Cen
esls ii. II. lie says:
"But still some ask, Why should his
obedience be tried in such an instance
as thisl Not considering that an ex,
pertinent of it could scarce have been
made in any Of the moral preccpts:
which there was no occasion TO viO-
late. For what shall tempt him to
idoiatry, or to take Gods name in vain
or to murder his wife! How was il
possible to commit adultery. when
there wasno body but he and she in the
world How could he steal. or what
room was there then for coveting
when God had put him in possession
of all things! 1t had been in vain &c
forbid that which could not be done
and it had not been virtue to abstain
from that to which there was no temp
tation, but from that which invited
him to transgress.'
