Bows and Girls.

We agree with L1te illustrated, when
it says, boys must have trades and pro
fessions. That is right Every body
should understand that he is to learn well
to dc some kind of business: that he is to
earn his living, and make himself useful
in the world. That he has rich father
is no reason why be should live in idle
ness. Train the boy to a useful occupa-
ton.
Yes, il you would have him happy and
honored, if you would make him of the
least consequence in the world, if you
would save him from vice, misery and
ruin train him to industry. No one
should liye in the world without sharing
its common burdens and common joys
the responsibilities of reciprocal service
aud sympathy.
Boys are bred to business Why are
not girlsl Are their minds in less dan
ger of running to waste! less fertile, SO
that the evil which enemies scatter in un.
occupied soil, will not take root and yield
a harvest of tarcsi
No; as the world is girls can not be
perfectly pure without occupation. The
unemployed mind is not happy. Every
girl should be taught SONY branch of in
du,try, should become skilfull in some
kind of work, either mental or physical,
by which she can support herself honor
ably. No healthy grown girl should be
satisfied to remain tax Oh her father
Are her parents means small by the
teaching and practice of some art, she
can earn her money, and add much to
the comfort and charms of home. She
will be proud to do this. If she has been
trained to feel so. She owes it to her
own soul, as means of its elevation and
growth. Have the parents ample means?
Still, she could not merely exist, of no
more account than china toy or bit of
gliding. She can share the mothers du-
ties. becoming her right hand, and the
light of the fathers eyes. AT the same
time, she should be thoroughly versed in
certain branches Of either Art or Science,
that In case OF reverses, so common now
a-days, she can gain an honest, indepen-
dent livelihood.
All girls should be thorous shly taught
all necessary details of housekeeping
else, they shame their mothers and they
will bring misery on their own families.
The needle, broom, and duster are not
the sole implements of industry adapted
to woman. The pen she has taken. By
the pencil she has surpassed her brother.
The marble beneath her fingers, gives
birth to beauty SO exquisite as to draw
sears from the eyes of stern men.
Let ber 60 on. She can with perfect |
as she becomes conscious of in
,lination and capacity, became physician,
merchant, leeturer-anythng good for |
which God has endowed her. But some !
steady occupation she should have.
Train girls to definite and useful en-
oloyment, if you would render them good |
aud happy. Familiarize them, early, |
with the idea that they are to become |
'killful in so;ae art or PROFESSIONALISM
hey are to be adopts in some useful work.
Thus they will be help meet for their
orothers, and the blessing of hum anity.

Thore is much in the revival that is en-

is very much which is profoundly melan-
cholly. The idea of God and the religion
which is inculcated, if it should convert
everybody, including the Administration
of the Democratic party, the Supreme
Court, and Congress, would not add one
ounce of bum anity to the converts, but
would weaken and deadon the piety and

A Bacon Pres ,ntation.

The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Wing says:
"a Virginia gentleman Of the name of
Welch, from Shenandoah county presented
Old Buck the other day with ham that
knocked the fat of Wise's jowl complete
ly into the fire. The hog from which the
ham was taken weighed nearly 1000
pounds; the ham itself weighed 10 lbs
The presentation was accomplished under
the auspices of Hon. John Letcher, and
the present was received by Old Buck
with graceful and benign suavity. Mr..
Welch also brought with him lot of
small, horned elephants, supposed, by
aginated butchers, to be bceves."

While boy hago sat and listened +;
with pleasure and astouishucnt, to the
oft repeated recitation of an adventure,
in forest, situated between GilnaDton
and WinniPiseogee Lake, as it fell from
the lips of one of tue adventurers, named
Cack Marsh, hardy pioneer, and one of
the first settlers of this colony.
1t was at the close of sultry day in
the latter part of August, when Marsh,
together with his old aud faithful servant
Joe, wandered forth in quest of deer and
other valuable game. They travelled on
chatting merrily, little thinking Of the
serious difficulties in which they were in
volved, and the trying scenes through
which they were to pass, before they "a
gain entered the Threshold Of their hap
py and cheerful home.
With joyous anticipation they pursued
their journey, aud were soon lost in the
forest, in which they expected to 6ud, and
pursue the object OF their search.
1t was late in the evening when they
arrived at a ripping brook, which was
rapidly vending its way toward the no.
bic Merrimac. Here they stopped to
queoch their thirpt, partakc of repast,
and thennpcamp for the night. Every
thing passed off quietly. aud they were

and massacre of both: hence they chose
to seperate, each pursusing different
course.

which was thickly covered with under
