was discovered that the Croton water pipes, II

night amid the mass of earth and rocks and as
fast as found were roasted by the laborers at
the great rosn fires kept up during the night,
, and eaten with avidity. One Of the fish thus
caught was nine inches in length. They were
driven up bv the water amid the rocks, and
died sin .e its drawing off.

vulgar curiosity, he pnrsues IN solitude
and silence, the sublime projects oil
his mighty mind. On Leree days when
he meets his court, files of armed men
protect his sublimity .tfom insult. The
gravcst Judges are his priry counsellors !;
the most eloquent lawyers eulogase MS
merits; the News writers, volunteering IN
the career of ri~tue, give wings to his
fame. In word, who but he, and all
the world must know him. Our towns
men are only following the example of
those in high places. Then, my fellow
citizens, | conjure you in the name of
patriotism to acquire at least moderate
proficiency in the art of quarrelling and
fighting, as your country may demand
the exercise of your talents in its halls of
congress, the mammoth drinking saloons,
and cock pits" of America; and there
"when the fixed parties, dumb and silent sit,
rnmoved by TRUTH and ele quence and wit
To rouse their passions, smfe them on the nose,
And on their pour sylogistic blows"

furnished her neither the moral nor men
tai power Of resisting the arlful attacks
of william. Step by step she Is led on.
Her husband gives her no good advice;
he is incapable of giving it. Ifhe suspect
that she is going too far, he may remon-
strate with her, or even threaten her; but
reason with her as he should, show her
NE wrong she is committing, he cannot
do. In his eyes Irritation, no matter
how serious it may be, is no wrong, ifnot
carried so far as to endanger his honor.
Now what has woman thus educated
and thus married to rely upon when sur
rounded by danger? Nothing-in reali-
ty nothing! TO be sure there is before
her the fact that if she fall and her shame
be made known she is ruined for life
This knowledge itself never yet proven
ted weak woman from shining. To one
of strong mental powers it may be a safe
guard-but never can it be such to
weak.minded woman. She can only be
rendered safe from evil by moral educa-
ton and when to this is added a proper
mental training her position is rendered
the more secure. There is terrible re-
sponsibility incurred by parents in send
ing their daughters into tho world with a
merely fashionable education and when,
from time to time instances occur in
which they deviate from the paths of rec
titude, none should be surprised. These
are but the legitimate consequences of
expecting those to walk firmly and safely
whose feet have been trained only to /" the
primrose path of dallance."
