The prairie news. [volume] (Okolona, Miss.) 1851-1875, 1858-05-13

A correspondent of the Boston Post,
writing from Nashville, tells the follow.
ing anecdote. We are not prepared 70
say whether it is founded on fact" or
not, but reproduce it because it Is too
good to be lost:
Not more than four years ago Andrew
johnson, (popularly called Andy'') now
in the U. s. Senate, was the democratic
candidate for governor of Tennessee
against Gentry, American" Parson
Brownlow. the notorious " fighting Metho-
dist" of the Knoxville Wig, had gone
over with the remaing of the whig par.
ty.to the know nothing, and was the
warm partizan of Gentry. Eastman, a.
the conductor of the leading democratic
journal, was of course, with johnson, and,
as is his wont, gave the enemy vigorous
and telling blows. Gentry was defeated,
but in honor of his "brave associates,
partners of his TOLL" he celebrated the
event by grand supper, at which Brown
low was present. When the company had
got pretty deeply into their cups, and
where growing rather boisterous, the par.
son (who happens to be tetotaller)
thought he had better retire, and Va.
making movement to that effect, when
he was stopped by Gentry with the obser.
walton that mo minister of the Gospsl
should come into his house and enjoy bis
hospitality and 60 off without praying in
the family" Brownlow felt the rebuke
and at once set about his duty. He read
a chapter in the Bible, sang hymn, and
commenced prayer. He prayed Sor
Gentry and his household and friends:
for the welfare of Tennessee, of the M.
tional confederacy, the American eagle,
and the star spangled banner; Christen-
dom and Heathendom for the universe
sslns" the rest of mankind" "And final.
l&l cSaid the the parson, 1--WE pray thee,
Nc No gid, if it be possible in the plentitude
u thy infinite mercy, to pardon and save
Andy johnson and f. G. Eastman.
Stop stop!" exclaimed Gentry, "don't
ct him do that-I would erAause tie pl0s
# salration.

BeaatifM-The following lines are
from the pen of George ID. Prentice.
Why is it that the rainbow and tho
clouds come over us with beauty that
is not of earth, and then pass away, and
leave us to muse on faded loveliness T.
Why is it that the stars that hold their
nightly festival around the midnight
throne, are placed above the reach Of our
limited faculties, forever mocking us with
their unapproachable gloryl And Why
is it that the bright forms of human beau
ty are presented to our view and then ta-
ken from us leaving the thousand streams
of affection to flow back in almighty tor
rents upon the human heart? We are
born of q larger destiny than that Of earth
There is land where the stars will be
set out before us like, islands that slumber
in the ocean, and where the beautiful be-
ings that pass before us like meteor.
will stay in our presence forever.

Woman's Adramtage-A woman may
say what she likes to you without danger
of being knocked down for it. She can
take snoOze after dinner, while her hus-
band has to 60 to work. She can dress
herself in neat and tidy calco's for dol
lar, which her husband has to earn and
fork over. She can go forth in the streets
without being invited to treat at every
coffee house. She can paint herself if
she is too pale and -four if too red. She
can wear corsets if too thick, other fix
ings if too thin. She can eat. drink and
be merry, without it costing her cent.
She can get divorced from her husband
when she sees one she likes better. And
she can get in debt all over, until her
husband warns the public not to trust her
on his account any longer.

CELIBACY...DELICATE WOMEN, &c.

Single blessedness" is rapidly on
the increase. 1t threatens to become an
established institution" Marriage, and
the family relation, are in danger of be-
ing superseded. These and similar utter
ances have become one of the prominent
topics of the newspapers press.
In all of our large cities the disinclina-
ton to marry on the part of young men
is frequently spoken of and written about
And it is said, truthfully too, that just in
the ratio that men incline to bachelorism,
rowdyism, debauchery and crime become
rampant in the land.
This is a subject of great importance
to all, and of fearful interest to the gener-
Ations to come 1t requires no extraor-
dinary reach of thought to comprehend
that the natural and inevitable result
must be, sooner or later, the general de-
moralization of both male and female, and
the utter disorganization of human socie-
ty. Without the maintenance of those
domestic associations and duties, which
are known only where the marriage insti-
tuition is made sacred, no society ever did
or ever can exist above barbarism or saw
agism.
To arrest this downward tendency of
the race, two causes must be corrected.
Young men must be trained to live, move,
and have their being, without those
blood-infaming and soul -palsying poisons,
liquor and tobacco, and young ladies must
learn to be useful as we'll as snowy
On this latter clause Of our text we pur-
pose to expatiate very briefly, and then
leave the matter, for the present, to the
reflections Of whom it may concern.
1t is notorious, all over the civilized
world, that American females are un-
healthy, and that the tendency to disease
and infrmity is constantly increasing
The daughters, as general rule, are
more infirm than their mothers, as their
mothers compare unfavorably with their
grandmothers. There is no theme so
much written about, talked about, leo
tured about, as sickly American women
and girls. Even the medical journals
and daily newspapers Of Europe are fire.
auently comparing the health and srani-
ma Of American females with those OF the
females of Great Britain, France, Gerlna-
ny, etc., always to the disadvantage OF
the former. And they seem to see. not
without reason, one of the leading causes
Of the ultimate degeneracy of the Ameri-
oan people, and the final overthrow of
our republican government, in the fact
that the vitality Of our females is running
down.
Young men cannot be ignorant Of these
things. They are, and must be fond Of
the society ofyoung ladies. Nature, and
instinct, and reason, aud custom, incline
them to marry. But with the thoughts
OF . matrimonial alliance, come the
thoughts of everything except beds Of
roses and domestic joys. So far as oour-
ting goes, all is pleasant enough; but
with marriage is associated the idea of
doctors, nurses, and greater or less
