James P. Tyler's residence, by which girl was
slightly burned aud chair partially consumed.
Exercise, in the open air, Is the life-bood of wo.
man ana we only regret that our city ladies ap-
precate it SO little and partake of it so seldom
When we see a pale, delicate young lady,
moping about day after day, as lifeless, ap-
parently, as dead kitten unless under the ex-
element of some fashionable tom-foolery we
cannot fail to mark the difference in her
course of life when compared with that of the
buxom country lass, and pity her. knowing as we
do, that her existence has been shortened, her
health wasted, and her usefulness sacrificed at the
shrine of fashion. Poor creature-if, instead Of
keeping late hours, and spending her mornings in
| bed, she were to rise with the lark, make long
| walks, and employ her mind and body In useful
pursuits how easily she might entice back the
bloom to her lilly cheeks, add lustre to her dimmed
| eyes and buoyancy to her depressed spirits. But
no, this would not be fashionable and it bet
ter to be out of the world than out of the fashion
Were young lady to acknowledge that she made
! her own garments, cooked her own meals, and
| prepared her own room-that she retired early,
arose early, took long walks, breathed fresh air
abjured corsets wore thick shoes and did not read
novels, she would be looked upon in the fashiona
| bic soortd as a monster, and would be speedily
''cut by all the spider waist, taow cheek senti-
mentalsts of her sex. Only think of lady's red
deung her cheeks and polishing her skin, with
sunshine and fresh air. when fashion has ordained
that rouge and chalk must be used Why Il Q
entire water fraternity of fashionable society
including the myriads of dandy coxcombs that live
| by their wits, and the numberless mamas that
started at the wastub and have risen into silks and
laces false curls and ftlse teeth, would be thrown
into commissions Regardless of health and of use

1 fashion must be preserved though every woman in
tie land is destroyed
Christ Clurch-We are requested to give notice

Church will be held in the Sunday School Room

Ectipse-Yesterday morning at 26 minutes past
o'clock, the moon entered the earths shadow,
and at o'clock l0ths of her disk was obscursd.
About 81 o'clock she had passed through the um.
bra The weather was too cloudy for persons to
witness the eclipse even had 1t been worth getting
up at that hour to see.
Rob6ery-Last Friday night, the residence o.
Mrs. Eliza Cheatham, in jail alley. was entered By
means of window, and one of her drawers rob
bed of about $50 in money. An adjoining residence
