AN ARKANSAS FATHERS ADVICE
TO HIS son.
There is genuine humOr in the idea
that IN Arkansas man finds the most
natural expression, even Of parting ad
vice to his son, in the language Of thc
card table, and the manner in which
the terms Of the game of "cuchrc" are
there fitted to the game Of life is ingcu.
ious:
"Bob, you are about leaving home
for strange parts. You're gong To
throw me out Of the game, and 60 1t
alone. The odds is against you, Bob,
bat remember always that industry
and perseverance, are the "bowcrS.

they won't play so hard agin YOU.
"I've lived and travelled around some

folks thought you held out weak

when you're sortcr weak, keep on II

The "patirot aud Union," Breck-
inridge Democratic journal of Harris
burg, Pennsylvania remarks as follows
on the recent election in that State:
"Ilnd Foster been elected it is prob.
able that a union might have been form
ed that would have carried the State i'll
November, but since the field has been
lost and now nothing remains for the
Democratic and conservative voters OF
the State but to test the relative strength
of the several candidates, and to UTTER
through the ballot box, their protest
against the election OF a sectional Pres
ident of "a minority Of til , people OF the
United States. How this may best DO
done is n matter for further cons.d dcra-
ton. We have stuck to the case OF
un.oi as long as it appeared possible
tn. union might be eiectual to defeat
the election OF Lincoln. But since that
seems to be fJrtgone conclusion IT Is
a matter of little consequence whether
the friends of Mr. breckenridge support
a distinctive Breckenridge ticket or u
union ticket, 50 they are only enabled
to express their preference Tor Mr..
Breckenridge"

FASHIONABLE WOMEN.

Fashion kills more women than toll
or sorrow. Obedience to fashion is n
greater transgression of The laws of wo-
mems nature, n greater injury to her
physical and mental constitution, than
the hardships of poverty and neglect,
The slave woman at her task will live
and grow old, and see two or three gen.
erations ofher mstresscs fade and pass
away. The washer women, with scarce
a ray of hope to cheer her tolls, will live
to see her fashionable sisters all die
around her. The kitchen maid is hearty
and strongwhcn her lady has to be nur-
sed like sick baby.
1t is q sad truth that fashion
pampered women are almost worth
less for all tho great ends of human life.
They have but little force of character,
they have still less power of moral will,
and quite as little physical energy
They live for no great purpose in
life; they accomplish no worthy ends.
They are only doll forms in the hands
of milliners and servants, to be dressed
and fed to order. They DIRE nobody,
they feed nobody; theyinstruct nobody;
they bless nobody, and save nobody.
They write no books; they set no rich
examples Of virtue and womanly life
If they rear children, servants and nur-
ses do all, save to conceive and give
them birth. And when reared what
are they? What do they ever amount
to, but weaker scions Of the old stock?
Who ever heard of Il fashionable wo-
mans child exhibiting any virtue or
power of mind for which it became en-
inent? Read the Biographies of our
great and good men and women. Not
one Of them had q fashionable mother.
They nearly all sprung from strong
minded women who had as little to
do with fashion as with the changing
clouds.
