SCHOOL GIRLS IN WIxTER.-We wish
to put in a special plea for the girls
Make their dresses short enough to
swing clear of the snow and mud, and
give them good water proof boots, tc
wear to school. Yes, we insist upon il
they should have boots. Women's
shoes of the present fashion are no more
fit to put upon country roads in winter
than an Indians birch bark canoe is fiji
to cross the Atlantic. Boots will moi
look quite so trim about the ankle, OIL
step so lightly upon the floor, but they
will do what is of more consequence
preserve the health to show off these
graces in after life, and to take a great
many elastic steps that otherwise might
be fewer, and those leading directly
down to the grave.
Another thing We are glad to see
coming in fashion : the ladies are learn
ing to skate, and for this they must have
boots. Now, girls, get each of you a
pair of neat winter boots, and pair of
skates to fit, and the first ice that forms
in your neighborhood, large enough go
out with your brothers, or somebody
else's brothers. and learn to skate. Be
prudent about it, and not overdo the ex-
ercise and you will find it a capital med
cinc-next to horseback riding.
The only way to bring about race
Of healthy women, is to attend to the
physical developments of the girls be-
fore they are diluted in the iHa''se H'e sys-
tenn of fashionable accomplishment, that
fits them for nothing but elegan inbe-
ciles.-Ohio Cultirator.

Tho the wings of love may lightly play
When first he comes to WOO thee;
There's chance that he might fly away
AS fast as he comes to thee;
While Friendship, tho on foot she come,
No flights of fancy trying,
Will therefore oft be found at home,
While love abroad is fiyingl
Which shall it be? How shall I WOO?
Dear one ! choose between the two.
But if neither passion suit thy heart,
I'll try to please thee whether
1 may not find some precious art
To bind these charms together.
A feeling still more sweet to find
From two, so sweet already.
A Friendship, that like love is kind,
A love, like Friendship steady.
Thus let it be ! Thus let me WOO /
Tel one ! Thus we'll join the two.

An Amateur stump Orator,

tells true tale upon one of the fresl
fedged orators of that prolific county
which is good enough to keep. 1t was
told the narrator by an witness. He
says:
/ Himself and another prominent citi-
zen were opposing electors in our couu
ty, during an exciting period in our po-
litical history, when party conventions
and gatherings were quite numerous
One OF these came off in neighboring
county, during the progress of their race,
rs sFoWn We're an15dncsd nnse D sps4e
the designated day the two electors turn
ed their Rosinantes toward the Convcn-
ton and unaware of each others inten-
ton of going thither, one was some miles
in advance ef the other, but riding with
such leisurely pace as consorted with a
habit of oratorical Improvisation to
which he was addicted, was overtake n
by his opponent, who recognizing him
ahead, rode stcalthily up, to surprise
him by his unexpected proximity. just
as he was about to make known his
pres ence, sudden clapping of his op-
ponents hands, and vehement shouting
of his name, arrested his attention, and
he listened for the dcnoument.
After some moments pause, as if
waiting some imaginary reclamation to
subside, his opponent threw himself
back in the saddle and thus began his
exordium, gracefully gesticulating the
while to his viewless audience Eel
low citizens, I thank you most warmly
for the high compliment of this enthu-
siastic call to the stand, just after it has
been vacated by such distinguished ora
tors; but whilst feel deeply grateful
for the unmerited honor, it but tenfold
enhances my diffidence and distrust,
thus to follow in the wake of that cla-
rion eioquence whose tones are yet ring
ing in your ears. And fellow citizens,
l assure you nothing would induce me
to respond to your call, under such dis
advantages, but lofty faith in the
cause which advocate. Thrice is he
armed, who hath his quarrel just. and
panoplied in the invincible armor of
Democracy stand before you here to-
day, gentlemen, an humble, but fear
less champion of that glorious cause,
which has redeemed, regenerated and
disenthralled crushing ard bleeding

Here paused. with tremendous clap
ping of his hands aud shouts of ''Oh,
my -. go it my --,' calling
his own name. The fancied applause
subsiding, he resumed: ''Chosen gen
t!emen, by the Democracy of my county
as their standard bearer in this contest,
1 have planted the proud banner, in
victorious triumph, on many a hard
fought field. WELDING the ponder
Gus mace of Democratic truth, 1 have
cloven my opponent down through head
plate, skull, brains, backbone, and bow
els, and left him like a shapeless mass
of thunderriven, Jovc -splitted humani-

his oratory, loud laugh from his list

 The C.tY of Hermosillo.

The City of Hermosillo.
 The city of Herm osillo, par excellence the city and at present the capital of the Mexican State of Sonora, is situated on the right bank of the so-called Rio del Sonora, about 45 miles from where that stream is lost in sands and swamps The nearest point to the Gulf of Cal ifornia is west, close to Tiburon island, distant abOat 60 miles Along the shores in this di-- reetiOn none but the Ceres and Tiburon Indi- ans are encountered. Southerly, about 100 miles distant, is the seaport of Guaymas, which is eonnecte by semi-weekly line of stages The fare on this line is $5,0J and the time occu- pied from 2i to 3S hours, according to the speei with which passengers wish to travel
 Herm )sillo contains about l0,00o inhabit- ants, and standson gravelly table lani, two spurs of caleareous m 1untains coming from the rugged ranges north ani South, which form the Valley of the Rio del Sonora separate the lat ter into two vast plains, several miles in width The western is that seemingly endless slope towards Tiburon slanl Isolated and barren m ,antains define the north and the south, and the Sonora river, mear iering through the cen ire may betraeed for many mile, not by q volume of water as one would suppose from the name of river, but by broad belt of dry, glaring sand, lined with rows and groups of cottonwooi trees Outside of these lines of trees, sometimes on one or the other side of the river, we find the cultivated portions of this one of the best valleys of Sonora These lands are light alluvial deposit made by the summer freshets of tho river. Owing to the warm eli mate and irrigation, they produce we'll, as far As the water will reach as every inch has to be irrigated to produce at all These bottoms are seldom over half mile in width but what there is, has by hard work become species of paradise There are luxuriant fields of fue Sonora wheat, clover, corn, sugar cane, vines and other agricultural products, intermxed with groves of beautiful shade and fruit trees.- Oranges, lemons, lines, quinces, pomgranates palms, and other fruits produce we'll Plan tains, pne-apples, and the northern fruits grow to advantage.
 The city itself consists of brick and adobe houses of the usual Mexican style, but gener-  ally plastered and painted. A few are two stories high, with flat roofs and commonly sim pie exterior. They present no striking picture when seen from one of the nearest hills, but the many beautiful shade trees in their courtyards and little gardens, gives quite refreshing ap- pearance to that otherwise desolate thirsty country. Some of the houses in the centre of the town are built in better taste than usual, and quite number are elegantly fitted up in- side. Although possessing some private houses of great comfort and good style, we cannot say as much for those generally termed public build ings The most conspicuous of these is the old mint where money was never coined, and which now is used for soldiers quarters It looks dreary and dimmed, grey with age and weath- CT. It is in perfect harmony with the decay of the Republic.

The expense living is remarkable, although the fare at the hotels is not equal to Demon- icos They are generally kept by Frenchmen, sometimes by Mcxcans Any establishment is supposed to last from six months to a year. Then every one is insolvent
 This tendency to breaking is not caused by the extravagant expenses of the landlord, or high prices of articles consumed by the board. CTS, but rather by the lack of consumers. Mex jeans generally prefer to stay with some of their numerous relations, perhaps dating from Noah, or some remote periol; anl foreigners, who arc the men that spen1 the cash, are but few gen. erally. Only at the annual excitement, when it is either supposed by the boys that Sonora has been purchased, or will be shortly by old U. S., which has been the case for the last six years, landlords do good business Americans and others then flock in the country They, at first like the orange trees-the delicious aroma in the air--the easy manners of the people-the many pretty girls-even go so far as to approve of chili colorado and tortilos for time. When, however, the excitement ends in smoke, then that eternal blue sky gets tiresome, and reminds them of some very bad place, with which So- nora is uot seldom compared Misfortunes never come alone;--wth the failure to buy So- nora, is generally connected wilh a vacuity in the portmonie, and the question is now, not how and where to speculate, but how to get out of the country, in double quick time, before the last last eagle takes its flight Hard times is then coming The excitement and throng of human beings over, the landlords hold out a little longer, and break This is no joke. It is question of time only, influenced by the amount of capital or credit, hotel is started with There arc other novelties, perhaps, but they present no great attraction At times a strolling band of bull-fghters will exhibit in the outskirts of the town, but the bulls being gener. ally emacatel, poor, miserable devils, they by far do not present that interest as those fights of our bules at home
 The social state is deplorable. The continual revolutions have sown distrust in the very heart of family life. All friendly intercourse has been destroyed. The piano, harp and guitar, which formerly invited the neighbors and friends to joy and happiness, have ceased to ring, or they only send melancholy through the halls where they formerly only sent 10th the tunes of Straus, and other veterans of the waltz
