Coop ADVICE To THE WOMEN Folks.
The editor of the Charleston Couant,
who evidently is man of good sense,
in his Fourth July address, gives some
very good advice to the women folks
so good that we cannot refrain from
picking out specimen brick" as fol-
lows:
1--WE advise our gentle friends of the
other sex to get up for themselves a
new Declaration of Independence
There are some, perhaps it would not
be slanderous to say, good many, who
have notions of independence not such
as we like; independence of the re,
straints of politeness and true courtesy,
of woman delicacy which shrinks from
making show of itself, of the necessi-
ty of being industrious and prudent, of
the true and sacred responsibilities of
woman's sphere; not of the bonds Of
matrimony, yet too often, of its most
momentous duties, of parental restraint
and authority, while they live in their
parents home. Not such independence
as this. There is already too much Of
it. We would have our young women
declare themselves Independent of the
caprices of foreign fashion, of the die
tates of any fashion which is against
their own good taste and judgment. We
would have them free of the misD eading
influences of certain inmates of their
own bosoms; vanity, that loves to be
noticed and admired, and seeks its ends
by extravaganza of dress, whether in
material or style; the sentimental weak
ness that makes them languish and
weep and dream over foolish stories
the so frequent error of thinking that
the one great end of life is to get mar
ried, without taking thought of THEN
fitness to assume and well discharge the
duties of home life; the hardly less fire.
quent error of thinking it all one thing
to be handsome and beautiful; SO that
in striving for the first, or for the seem
ing of it, they divest themselves of the
last vestige of the other, which cannot
exist where there is vanity, self conceit
and complacency in mere symmetry OF
figure or feature and fairness of COM
plexion. We advise our young friends
to practice the virtue of economy, and
to persuade themselves that when they
buy silk dresses and cheap jewelry to
the extent of their means, they do most
surely exemplify an old proverb, which
we would not on any account be SO I'M
courteous as to repeat to them. Let the
women of our own dear land be such as
a free nation ought to hare, as sensible,
prudent and wise as they are fair"

TERRIBLE.-T The Boston Trareler
makes the following reckless attempt at
fun:
While at the artists exhibition YES.
teIdaay, our reporter was standing near
Stephenson's bust of Ruth. A friend,
pointing to the yelled head of the Jew
ish maiden, said: at is not every girl
that gets such a beau as (Boaz) she did"
The reporter meditated, then smiled,
and immediately proposed to expend
couple of shillings for the pun. "Nay,
owe me Naomi, y said the wag. Think,
ing the neighborhood too warm, the re-
porter turned to look at Champney's
magnificent snow-covered mountains.

FOUND OUT.-A young lady who has
been travelling about Canada recently,
dressed in male attire. and trying to OBJ
tain employment as compositor in va
rious printing Offices, turns out to be the
daughter of Mr.. Denny, surveyor and
crown land agent in Peterboro, G. W.,
and her name is Minnia Augusta Celes-
tie Denny. 1t seems she deserted her
luxurious home about six months since,
under the influence of a passion for the
stage.

JOHN PHOENIX IN THE LADIES CAR.
j ohm Phoenix, the inimitable wit, thus
tells an incident connected with ride
on the y. Y. Central Railroad. He re-
lates it in letter to the Knickerbocker
Magazine, and puts it on record to serve
as a caution to future innocent travellers
He says:
81 had observed that at each change
of cars, and they were frequent, when
the general rush took place, one car
was defended from the assault by a stall
wart man, usually of Irish persuasion,
who, deaf to menaces, unsoftened by
entreaty, and interrupted by brides,
maintained his post for the benefit of
the ladies' Ladies' car, sir, av you
please; forrid ear for gentlemen with

reserved was by far the most comforta-
be of the train, and that with that stern
resolve which ever distinguishes me in
the discharge of my duty to myself, 1
determined to get into it cute pui cute ?
So when we changed cars at Utica, /
rushed forth, and seeing a nice young
person, with pretty face, bonnet and
shawl, and a large portmanteau, urging
her way through the crowd, stepped
up by her side, and with my native
grace and gallantry, offered my arm
and my assistance. They were CRATE
fully accepted; and proud of my success,
I ushered my fair charge up to the plat
form of the ladies' car. My old enemy
was holding the door. is that your la

CUBA AND THE SLAVE TTADE.--A
letter from Madrid gives the names; of
five American vessels, varying from ITO
to $50 tons, that were lately purchased
in Havana for The slave trade. The
writer remarks:
If the infamous trade, covertly sane
toned in Cuba by the Spanish Captains
General, is to be effectually and perma-
nently stopped, it must be by stern
and decided demonstration. The best
and indeed the only one, that naturally
suggests itself, is blockade of Cuba.
Such measure would strike a terror in
Spain, would shake the present ministry
and quickly produce efectual guaran-
tees. Any thing less than that will pro-
duce nothing but reiterated promises,
ever unfulflled, and continued disap-
pointments to those who interest them-
selves, whether as a matter Of right. or
as matter of feeling and humanity in
the suppression of the slave trade
Another letter states that the trade L.
carried on more extensively than ever,
and the treaty on the subject is con-
stantly violated
