Our Social Uirrle,
Written for the Green Mountain Freeman.
The Old Man.

Note that lettering, careful step; the bowed
form and whitened head the dimmed eye
and trembling voice" Kind sir, I-m-a-lit-
tle-deaf" All, yes, clasp that hand, so lack
ing Of youthful warmth. Greet the old man
with reverential brow; for oh, kind sir he
is a long journey nearer that Heavenly Father
than you and |. Entreat him to bear tidings
to those gone before, whom years-perhaps
eternity, may separate from US. Place to his
lips the cool beverage that he may bless us
ere he goes. His tottering step is link
binding us to the past the time of his life
has passed down that long vista of gathering
years; on his brow are the marks of the toll
that has marked his progress; in his eye
look closely--a dim remain of that fire of
youth so kin to thine. Counsel with him of
the worth Of all this worlds vanities; of its
fame and praises; of its wealth and the long
sleepless hours it begets; Of the perplexity
and cold rebuff of selfish world and from
that counsel learn a just department and calm
patience, that you grow not immaturely sorry
OF lie, but maintain wise dependence upon
Him to whom he goes.

Coon HUMoR.-Good humor may be de-
fined habit of being pleased constant
and perennial softness of manner, easiness of
approach, and suavity of disposition like
that which every man perceives in himself,
when the first transports of new felicity have
wsubsided, and his thoughts are oniy kept
in motion by slow succession of soft impul.
ses. Good humor is a state between gaiety
and unconcern; the act or cmanation of a
mind at leisure to regard the qualification of
another
1t is imagined by many, that whenever
they aspire to please, they are required to be
merry, and to show the gladness of their
souls by flights OF pleasantly, and bursts of
laughter. But through these men may be for
time heard with applause and admiration.
they seldom delight us long, We enjoy them
little and then retire to easiness and good
humor, as the eye gazes awhile on eminences
glittering with the sun, but soon turns aching
away to verdure and to flowers.
Gaiety is to good humor as animal per.
fumes to vegetable fragrance; the one over.
powers weak spirits, and the other recreates
and revives them. Gaiety seldoms fails te
give some pain; the hearers either strain
their faculties to accompany its towering, OIL
are left behind in envy and despair. Goot
humor boasts no faculties which every on,
docs not believe in his own power and pleases
principally by not offending.

Education Of Women for Employment

Considerable attention has been called to
this subject Of late in England. The Eng
lishwoman's Review says:
Let it ever be borne in mind by those to
whom are entrusted the responsibility of q
woman's educaton-and it is on the parents
of the female child that these responsibilities
women equally with man, has to
labor for her bread that the primeval curse
contained no clause of exemption in her ia
vor; the further State has advanced in CIV
ilization, the greater has become the necessi-
ty for female labor, as the number OF single
women has proportionally increased. These
facts cannot be too largely or two thoroughly
recognized.
Boys are educated with a regard to some
particular calling Or profession. But girls?
With what view arc they taught? Is not
their education too often mere veneer oil
empty accomplishments? Are they not
taught, inferentially if not directly, that it
is pretty to be useless-that to be earnest and
Woodworking, is TO be unattractive-that la
Dor is not for them? AT last, however,
comes the day of reckoning. Their source of
support is dried up, stops as a clock runs
down. The head of the family dies. His
income, which was their source OF living,
dies with him. They are suddenly called up
on to labor for themselves. What can they
do? They enter the already over-crowded
market as governesses. They are too igno-
rant or too genteel for anything else They
take any terms they can get for they must
live, and so down falls the rate Of govcrness
remuneration and smattering education Is
impaired on cheap terms-an education that
is almost fraud, and the miserable impair
tiers of the smatter, reap a wretched living.
Is this an overdrawn picture?
But these msfortunes need not to have
been--at any rate without alienation. There
is an over-abundance of female labor, it is
true; but it is nevertheless possible that other
channels Of occupation will open, as women
are educated and ready to follow them. As
it is undoubted that the female mind might,
and should be, more prepared for adverse
circumstances, than it is now the fashion to
prepare it-that woman can be provided
with an education, on the wings of which she
can soar above adversity-that the lessons she
learns can be thorough, earnest and sound
and not empty superficial and idle-that il
she have the heart and the will, the means
should not be withheld from her. When she
is thus armed it will be hard, indeed, if nc
opportunity for remunerative toll open before
| her.

SCENE In GRoG-sHop. A wel-known

S1xpENcE DAY. A London paper fur
nishes us with the following interesting anec-
dote, which we wish our young friends would
read and think about What is said about
sixpence spent daily for one thing that is use
less or hurtful, (strong drink, for example,)
may be said of the same sum spent for any
other hurtful OF pernicious thing tobacco for
exampe.)
There is now an old man in an almshouse
in Bristol, who states that for sixty years he
spent sixpence a day in drink but was new
intoxicated.
A gentleman who heard the statement was
somewhat curious to ascertain how much this
sixpence day put by every day would
amount to in sixty years.
Taking out his pencil he began to calcu-
late. Putting down the first years saving,
(three hundred and sixty-fve sixpenees,) nine
pounds sterling eleven shilings and sixpence,
he added the interest, and thus went on,
year by year, until be found that in the six.
teth year the sixpence day reached the
sterling sum of three thousand two hundred
and twenty-five pounds sterling nineteen
shlllings and ninepence-more than fifteen
thousand dolla7s!
Judge of the old mans surprise when TOLD
that had he saved his sixpence day, and
allowed it to accumulate at compound inter.
est he might now have been worth the above
noble sum so that, instead of taking refuge
in an almshouse, he might have comtorted
himself with a house of his own, costing
three thousand five hundred dollars, and fifty
acres of land worth two hundred and fifty
dollars per acre, and have left the lcgaC1
among his children and grand children, OIL
used it for the welfare of his fellow men

The HABITUAL USE OF SpIR1Ts.-We are
all Of US more or less aware of the directly
visible injurious objects produced by the ha-
bitual use of intoxicating drinks, in the fol-
lies and vices the absorption in all the gener-
our feelings, all the tender humanities and
sweet charities of love, while the heart is
held under its sway but few of US know the
full extent of the change produced by it,
both in the mental and corporeal faculties
The British and Foreign Medico- Chirur-
gical ReoieD shows that the habitual use Of
spirits arrests that motamorphosis of tissue
which is necessary for health, leaving the el-
fete tissue as useless burden in the body, to
be converted into that least vitaized of all
the organic constituents, oil and fat, till final
ly life itself is cogged at the fountan-head.
Thousands of men, according to the ReuieU,
who have never been inebriated, annually
perish, having shortened their lives by
tipping little every day. The dram
arrests the metaphorsosis, of tissue, another
dram is taken before this arrest ceases the
reaction, thus postponed, becomes intense ;

taken and SO, in the end, without ever hav-
ing been intoxicated, the tippler sinks into
the grave, presenting the strange anomaly Of
a reasonable being periodically applying a
poison which is sure to impair and eventually
destroy the vitality of the body, and divert
the nobler impulses of the heart from that
course which consecrates it to heaven-born
life. The effect Of drinking spirits is differ
ent from that produced by wine for wine is
rarely used except at meals, SO that the eff
fects have time to pass away before second
dose becomes due, and hence no craving for
an increased quantity is experienced Men
ale now living, in consequence, in robust old
age, who have taken the identical number Of
glasses of wine daily for half century,
without feeling it necessary to increase the
quantity.

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most effcctual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood and the rescue Of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other atfec-
tons which arise from it, such as EEUPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoSY's FIRE,
Rosr, or ERyslrELAs, PDrLEs, PUsTU1ns.

RHEUMATISM, SYruIIITtc and MEncURIAL DIS
EASES, DnopSY, Dyspepsia, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM NITIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLooD. The popular belief
in " impwityo the 5lood' is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration Of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
lilla is to purity and rcgeuerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu-

public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that incident to our climate.

Scrofula, or Kin ,'s Evil,

~~NSf a~@6@er1 ~ 49, Y eAS
is constitutional disease, faint, or corrup-
ton Of the blood, by which this fluid be-
comes vitiatcd, weak, and poor. Being in
the circulation, it pcrvades the whole body,
and may burst out in disease on any part of it.
No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there
one which it may not destroy. The scrofllous
faint is variousy caused by mercurial disease
low living, Or disordercd on unhealthy food,
impure air, filth and filthy habits, the de-
pressing vices, and, above all, by the vcncreal
infection. Whatever be its origin, it is hcrcdi-
tary in the constitution, descending from par
ents "to children unto the third and fourth
generation indeed, it seems to be the rod
of Him who says, 60 l will visit the iniouities
of the fathers upon their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, aad internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gendeis in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although NOT scrofllous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking con-
tamination, and their health is undermined by
it. To cleanse it from the system we must
renovate the blood by al Alternative medicine,
and invigoratc it ty healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in
