/ They will spend hours in the sunlight, daily,
and do marvel that any should object to such
an airing.
Can any one wonder at the superior robust
ness and cheerfnlness of the women of Germa-
ny, Italy and other European countries, over
the women of the northern cities of cur eoun-
try, after contemplating the difference in their
habits?
Mothers should encourage their daughters,
especially to take much exercise in the open
air, and not compel them to take the measured
boarding-sehool step. Allow them to run
skip and hop, as if they were really alive and
full of joy ard life.
Any girl, from the age of ten to twenty
years, who is in possession of ordinary health
should aeeastom herself to walking. as not to-
be dependent on the cars or the omnibusses,
in case she desires to visit Mount Auburn or
any other desirable place of resort within
six miles of the city. Yet, as daughters are
now brought up, it would be difficult to find a
girl in the city, of the period of life indicated,
that could walk to Mount Auburn and back
without endangering health and perhaps life.
If not accustomed - walking begin by ex-
ercising moderately. increasing little every
day, until you are able to walk three, six or
twelve miles day.
The pleasure of life, viii be greatly enhanc-
ed by exercising as now indicated or in some
other not less efficient way. 1t is no unusual
thing for girls to begin to lose the freshness
and beauty of girlhood-that delightful period
of life; before they get out of their teens
Take our advice. providing it meets the appro-
val of your mothers. and you will preserve and
magnify the priceless graces of girlhoo,l as well
of womanhood health, beauty and cheerful
ness and secure that which everybody desires,
a long, healthful, happy and useful life.-Boston

deep enouch to protect the tile (and two auda

for going down eighteen inches into the hard
pan or stiff clay, wherein there is no water

reason for so doing. II is true, if did not

FRUIT TREES.


! What is of more income to a farmer, aecor-

| Look at the vast amount cf dried apples that -
was sold last fall in this part of the State, TO-
say nothing of the apples used for home con

was. sold in this little village about twenty -,
Thousand pounds of dried apples last fall, and ~
probably five times that amount in Farming

villages Of this part Of the State Who can 80

And now the question arises in our. minds =
where are we to get apples few years hence
when the orchards which produce apples ~
have become too old to be proftable2 Where
are the young orchards which should now be
growing to take their place in supplying fruit
As we have passed through the country eccaf ssss
sionally the past season, we have thought of .sE
this and looked for the young orchards which,
should be growing on every farm, but we have M
not seen one ottener than one in eveey twenty a.
farms that we have passed, and often when Resir,
do see them they are in neglected state, @
-browsed down by cattle or sheep in the winter, I
or not trimmed or cultivated as they should be,
Why is this? Why this neglect in this resS -,

Frc m one Of Horace Greeley's late CAlifor,
nia letters, we clip the following -
The Fig-tree grows in these valleys side by
side with the Apple, ripe figs are now gather
cd daily from nearly all the old Mexican gar
,lens The Olive grows finely in Southern

come a staple throughout the State. Almost
every farmer who feels sure of his ioothold on
the land he culGvatcs either has his vineyard
already planted, or is preparing to plant one,
while most OF those who have planted are ez-
tending from year to year. | have looked
through manys i5sssthesc vineyards, without find
ing one that is not thrifty-one that if two
years planted, is not now loaded with fruit
The profusion and weight of the clusters is
marvellous to the fresh beholder. I will not
attempt to give figures but it is my deli@eF--
ate Judgment that grapes may be grown here
as cheapy as wheat or corn, pound for pound.
and that wine will ultimately be made here at
cost per gallon not exceeding that of whisky
in Illinois or Ohio.

: Consider Me Smith. d"

There is a very good story in the papers ot
the day of joke ~ which was played by the
Rev. DR.. Caldwell, formerly President Of the
University of North Carolina
The doctor was a small man. and lean. but as
hard and angular as the most irregular of pine
knots. He looked as if he might be tough
but he did not seem strong. Nevertheless, he
was, among the knowing ones, reputed to be
agile as cat; !" and in addition, was by nc
means deficient in knowledge of the noble
art of selfdefcnse p" besides he was as cool as
a cucumber.
Well, in the freshman class of a certain year
was burly mountaineer Of eighteen or nine
teen. This genius conceived great contempt
for the doctors physical dimensions, and his
soul was Mortified that one so deficient in mus
Gle should be so potential in his rule.
Poor Jones-that's what We'll call him
had no idea of moral force. At any rate, he
was not inclined to knock under and be con
troled despotically by man that he Imagined
he could tie and whip. He at length deter
mined to give the gentleman genteel thrash,
ing some night in the college campus, pretend
ing to mistake him for some fellow student
Jones met the doctor crossing the campus
Walking up to him abruptly, Hello, Smith
You rascal Is that you?" And with that
he struck the doctor blow on the side of the
face that had nearly felled him.
The doctor said nothing but squared him
self, and at it they went. Jones's youth, weight
and muscle made him an "ugly customer
bat after round or two the doctors science
began to tell, and in short time he was
a straddle on his chest, with one hand on his
throat and the other dealing vigorous cuffs OF
the side Of his head
" All stop! beg your pardon, doctor !
| Doctor CALDWELL mistake! For heavens
sake, doctor" groaned Jones' who thought hc
was about to be eaten up " really thought I
was Smith 4"
The doc,or replied with word and blow
alternately, {" 1t makes no difference for al
present purposes considcr me Smith ~
And it is said that the doctor gave Jone
such pounding then and there, as probabl,
prevented his ever making another mistake a
to personal identity, at least on the college cam
pus.

The Whole 2Icr4h xs;neiled.


Tho majority of the people in the Northern
States of the Confadcracy are of the Republi-
can party. The preponderancy extends through
all classes of people. Men Of business, work
ing men, scholars. professional men, of all these
the majority are Republicans. Without deny
ing equal honesty and good faith to the men
of all parties, it will be admitted that the Re
pubicans are not behind their fellow-citizens
generally, in intelligence, probity ard patriot
ism that they have adopted the principles
which, in their deligerate Judgment, are best
calculated to advance the public welfare. and
that they mean to support those principles in a
manner that is consistent with the duties and
obligations of good citizens. Whatever rabid
politicians may say, we think no candid man
will deny this.
Well, we are told, by newspapers published
on our own soil, that the Republicans have in
stigated and perpetrated the recent atroeious
folly and wickcdness at Harpers Ferry; we
are told that it is for such violence as this that
the Republican party has been organized and
that it is carried on with a view to Just such
results we are told in effect, and by Northern
papers, that a majority of the Northern people
are incendiaries and murderers that you and L,
we who write these words and you who read
them, that the men who fill our pulpits, the
men in all the Northern States who have been
chosen to fill the most responsible Offices, and
who have received the highest marks of the
public confidence and favor, are band of as
sassins; that the object of all these is to ravage
the Southern portion of the confederacy with
fire and sword. Could there be a more afro
eious calumny than this Could there be a
stronger evidence of the shameful extent to
which partizan malevolence can bear men
against their neighqors and fellow citizens, and
of the INSCRIPTIONS manner in which every
| thing is perverted to the uses Of party!

HII.rr-pRYTNa CORN.

An intelligent former requests the steuSes,
vile Herald to admonish of the importance OF
kiIn-drvipg corn this year. He says the corn
crop is doing finely, and promises pretty fair
yield. The weather is remarkably fine for ma
turing, yet there is vast amount OF soft corn
upon the stalks, which may be saved by kiln
driving, which can be done with bnt little
trouble or expense, making the grain almost
equal 10 corn that hardens naturallv.---
