FASHIONABLE WOMEN. - Fashion kills more
women than toll or sorrow. Obedience to fash
ion is a greater transgression of the laws Of wo-
mans nature, n greatly injury to her physical
and mental constitution, than the hardships of
poverty and neglect. The slave woman at her
task will live and grow old, and see two or three
generations Of her mistresses pass away. The
washerwomen, with scarcely ray of hope to
cheer her tolls, will live to sec her fashionable
sisters all die around her, and the kitchen maid
is hearty and strong when her lady has To be
nursed like sick baby. 1t is a sad truth, that
fashion -pampered women are almost worthless
for all the great ends of human life. They have
but little force Of character; they have still less
power Of moral will, and quite as little of ply
sical energies. They live for no great purpose
in life; they accomplish no worthy ends; they
are only dull forms in the hands of miliners
and servants, to be dressed to order. They
dress nobody, they feed nobody. They set no
examples Of virtue and womanly life. IL they
rear children, servants and nurses do it all
save to conceive and give them birth. And,
when reared, what are they? What do" they
ever amount 10, but weaker scions of tie old
stock Whoever heard Of fashionable woman
exhibiting any power Of mind for which she be-
came eminent Read the biographies Of great
men and women-not one Of them had fash
ionable mother-they nearly all sprang from
plain, strong minded women.

the guide If he would tike another such blow
for thirty-fv We francs more. The guide willingly
agreed, and the powerful american struck him
a stunning blow Of his fist J but the mountaineeI
did not even frown, and the two gentlemen
parted the best Of friends.
