To see young lady ready and
willing, yes anxious, to render her.
self useful in society, is a pleasing
sight. At the present day how many
are SO highly educated and gentcel (?)
as to consider almost any kind of EN-
ployment about the household, like
washing, sweeping, cooking, and sew
ing upon ordinary mentIonaple gar
ments, and even teaching, vulgar, or
beneath the character of a lady! Do
not consider me as insinuating that
such is the state of things here in the
West. In general, and greatly to the
credit of those worthy to be the
mothers of a race of men ard momen,
it is far otherwise. | have been be-
trayed into these remarks from hav-
ing recently met certain well educa-
ted young ladies, in public place
making themselves generally use
full" and without causing any per-
ceptible blush of false modcsty either
The sight was impressive and with
al highly suggestive.
Many ladies continue in a state of
single blessedness, and perhaps not
always from choice. Men are easily
captlvated, as we often see, by some
thing besides true womanly qualities !;
but after all, the masculines are OBJ
serving, and at times rejecting
creatures, upon the habits of the better
half of creation. Many q young man
who is temperate, Industrious and fru-
gal begins life poor. How often do
fashionable young ladies suppose the
the question is mentally asked, "How
could | support a wife in such style
and with such habits as Miss A. B.!
I desire to, but dare not marry"
and thus many choice spirits are led
to wait what may never be realized,
An independent fortune-before
choosing a companion, if not wife.
1t is said to have been an original
idea with Horace Mann, that the
charge of bigamy could not be sustain
ed against man for marrying twenty
five modern, fashionable young ladies.
Men are discerning, and as one old
enough to judge, and who has had a
pretty extensive schooling in single and
married life, l wish to add my testi-
mony, that q lady always appears to
the best advantage in the estimation
of those of the opposite sex, whose
good opinions are of any value, when
usefully employed. The writer can
never forget the remark of young
and intelligent mercantile friend in
New England, who called upon an
orphan, the most highly educated
young lady of the village,-to invite
her to sleigh ride. Her aunt called
her from the chamber. She appeared
with some pure white woollen mittens
upon her hands and such a beautiful
glow upon her checks as no declared
"he never saw before nor since" She
stated with great naute "that she
was making beds and that the weather
was so cold she wore her mittens."
My young friend was SO perfectly
charmed, captivated, there was but
one unfailing remedy for him.
Woman was designed, created, to
be the equal companion and help mate
Of man. AS such, sensible men love
and adore her. What she needs is
public sentiment to allow her to b'
the most useful and to aid in the
for Apf a correct public senti

Gen. Lafayette held one end of the
line while the father Of Col. Porter
held the other, and the trees wers set
in row corresponding with the line.
Many of these trees now measure from
l6 to 81 feet in circumference.

we honestly believe that Dr. Aver is one Of the

because we know from experience that his
Cherry Pectoral is tho best medicine for a cough

More Facts for CrOakerS.
An Eastern paper gets off the folio,

An Eastern paper gets off the follow
ing croak in relation to Iowa:
One year since, Iowa was the great
paradise of land speculators. 1t was
suddenly discovered that Iowa land
was the most fertile, her forests the
most valuable, her resources the most
extensive of any State in the whole
confederacy. Consequently there was
a rush for Iowa, and lands increased
in price to fabulous extent. Towns
were staked out in the wilderness,
and prospective villages dotted the
wide prairies. Iowa was the second
land of promise. How is it now
Well-informed gentlemen who have
visited Iowa declare that already there
is 4 large emigration from the State,
to Kansas and Nebraska. Indeed,
Iowa at this time is scarcely mention
ed, and there is a great decline in the
price of acres and town lots. Parties
who paid high rates for land find them
selves swamped and handsomely taken
in.
This sort of croak;ng is pretty eff
fectually silenced by the following
facts: In 1852, the population of
Iowa was 10000. 1t now Numbers
100000. Then the assessment list
was s2s, 900, 900. The last assessment
was $l60,OO0,0OO. During the last
year we have added thousands upon
thousands to our population, far over
balancing any emigration to Kansas
and Nebraska. In no part of the
State is property decreasing i'll value
or even standing still. Everywhere
it is advancing, and the advance is
protuccti mot ~ IL. -.rvvulssvrs, puU
by actual immigration. There is not
a town or city but what is rapidly
growing, and some with miraculous
speed. We are building railroads,
and doing everything to develop the
wonderful resources of our country,
with an energy and enterprise which
must astonish the writer's of such arti-
cles as the above. We still boast of
precisely that which the remarks we
have quoted throw into our faces as
having once been published to the
world as matter of deception. 1fI
Iowa be not the garden spot of the
West, the constant flow of immigrants
into it from all parts of the Union, for
the last ten years increasingly, proves
that we have some other advantages
above soil and climate and general
prosperity.

The female assistant in the high
school at Chicago, is paid $500. Three
of the grammar teachers have the
same, four have $500, and all but two
have $500, and upwards. The sala-
ries of the male instructors range from
a thousand to fifteen hundred dollars,
and yet, in all probability the females
are worth just as much as the males.
