ISLANDER ABOUT LADlEs.-We adopt the fol-
lowing hints, which We find in contemporary, as
q genuin, 'home itcm," and We wish all our
readers may suffer them to be ever present in
| their memory. We have probably all Of US met
with instances in which word heedlcssly spoken
against the reputation Of female has been cir
culated by malicious minds until the clouds have
become dark enough to oyershadow her whole
existence. To those who are accnstomed-not
necessarily from bad motives, but from thought
lcssncss--to speak lightly about females, we rec
ommcnd "hint' as worthy Of consideration -
Never use . lady's name in an improper time, or
in mixed company. Never make assertions about
her that you think are untrue illusions that you
feel she herself woull blush to hear. When you
meet with men who do not scruple to make use Of
| a wOman's name in a reckless aud unprincpcd
manner shun them, for they are the worst mem.
hers of a community-men lost to every sense Of
| honor--every feeling ofhumanity. Many good
and worthy woman's character has beea forever
ruined, and her heart broken, by lie manufac.
tured by some villain, and repeated where it
| should not have been, and in the presence Of
| those whose little judgment could not deter them
from circulating the foul and Dragging report 4
| slander is soon propagated, and the smallest
thing derogatory to wonlan's character, will ay
on the wings Of the wind, and magnify a. 1t circu
lates, until its enormous weight crushes the up-
conscious yictim-Respect the nnme Of woman !;

other fellow creature.
HrNoRs OF THE CAMPAIGN--FAlrH AND WoRKa.
A very ardent young Republican rushed in.
TO the Herald Office in Cleveland, last Monday,
and handed Benedict a manuscript, which reads
thus:
Two things are necessary to salvation, viz:
F'M and Works. In Abraham we have Faith,
and in Hannibal, Works. The country is saved.
The young man Immediately tainted.
Proper PRONUNCIATION or LrNCoLN.-The nom.
ination Of Abraham Lincoln. as Republican can
didate fDr President, has raised the question Of
Its proper pronunciation contending that
it should be pronounced according to its literal
orthography- All the best authori-
ties, however, agree in pronouncing it as they do
out West-Li"ken. Below we give three lead
ing authorities on the snbjcct:
I.nk-on-Lppncott's Gazetteer.
Link nn-Webster's Unabridged.
Ling kun--W Worccster's New Dictionary
In Illinois, where everybody claims the privi-
legc of familiarity with "Old Abc,p they have
somewhat improved on the above, and speak Of
| the distinguished Sucker as .sOAl .ALe Lick-esn"
The Springfield (Massl Republican gives a
most felicitous definition Of Honest Old Abe
| the Presidential candidate Of the Republican par
~. It says:
tie will make what We have not had lately-an
honest President. He is neither trickster nor
tinle-seryer, but straightforward manly, able
man, who believes in the principles he representa-
He is in fact the Republican Platform in Boots.
| The Illinois State Journal tells the following:
| Upon the reception Of the nomination Of Mr.
Lincoln, the statue Of Mr.. Douglas. which has so
| long adorned the handsome jewelry store 0fGeo.
| Curran, was quietly boxed up and sent out of
town on freight train.
| THE UNION TrcKEr.-Thc entire harmony Of
the Republican NOMINATIONS is curiously illustra-
ed in the names at the candidates, which are ana.
dramatically convertible, thus:
ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
the Vice Presidential name being union link on
that OF .Honcst Old Abe" The letters also
contain Mr.. Hamlin's first namc-Hannibai.
The Detroit Advertiser gives the first joke Of
1 the campaign, in that section. A Republican
was hailed by Douglas man on the receipt Of
with the question:
| "Iiilloa! what do yon think nor 7"
"Think !! what do think 7" was the ready re-
ply II think you had better embrace the only
opportunity you'll ever have Of getting to Abro-
HAMS boson., and join the Republicans at once"

| THE "CHRIsrlAN TIAEs" on THE CHICAGO
CONVENTION in an editorial on the late Repub-
lican National Convention, the Chicago Chris
tiaa Times, the Baptist paper, speaks as follows
of the character and temper Of that body:
! Without intending anything invidious as re-
CARDS other political parties, We may say, what
Is only truth, that the Republicans have, on this
occasion, made demonstration very hattering
to themselves. The crowds gathered about the
building where the sessions wore held-in which
there were every day thousands for whom there
was no room inside have been composed Of men
most respectable in appearance, with an air Of
intelligence and sobriety which impressed the
on-looker with the conviction that such as they
are the very strength and hope Of the nation. -
The discussions that have taken place, have been
characterized by the excitement which must be
looked for in such circumstances, but there has
been good temper, spirit Of mutual concession,
and an enthusiasm for certain principles OF par
ty creed which must have suggested 70 such as
have been observers rather than actors. that
these men are honest and earnest. The real har-
mony that undcrlay all the apparent differences
had a signal manifestation in the fact that the
ca didate for the Presidency was chosen on the
third ballot, and that, although the several State
delegations had respectively their decided prefer
ences still they united at last, with enthusiasm,
in making the nomination unanimous.
