More stories are told Of this old fellow

Old Tay was always short, " and zen

Some parents seem still to entertain the
notion that young girls need no training
except that Of the mental faculties that
their forms are of less consequence than
their dresses and that development of
physical strength would impair their del
icacy, and tend to make them masculine
By restricting their physical education
and limiting their sphere of activity,
they are condemned for life to enfee bled
health, and an aimless, idle existence
Let such parents ponder the truth en-
bodied in the following remarks:
The " tomboy' is an eager, earnest,
impulsive, brighteyed. glad hearted.
kind souled specimen of the genus fem
nine. If her laugh is a little too FIRE
quent, and her tone a trifle too emphatic,
we are willing TO overlook those for the
sake Of the true life and exulting vitality
to which they are the escape valves and
indeed we rather like the high pressure
nature which must close off its superhu
Gus " steam" in such ebulitions. The
glancing eye, the glowing cheek, the
fresh, balmy breath, the 1.-THE and grace
ful play Of the limbs, tell tale of heal
thy and vigorous physical development
which is natures best beauty The soul
and the mind will be developed also IN
due time, and we shall have before us a
woman III the highest sense Of the word
When the " tomboy" has sprung up TO a
heallhful and vigorous womanhood, she
will be ready to take hold of the duties
of iiie-to become worker in the great
system Of humanity. She will not sit
down to sigh over the work given her to
do, to simper nonsense, languish in ennm.
or fall sick at heart; but she will ever be
able to take up her burden Of duty In
her track there will be sound philosophy
in her thoughts, holiness and originality:
in her heart, Heaven 5 own purity and
the world will be better that She has
lived it," To her allotted task she will
bring health, vigor, energy and spirits
and these will give her both the power
and the endurance, without which her
lie must be, in some respects at least. a
failure.

Wanted, the Presidency.

1t is with a sense of relief that we turr
from the canvassing exploits of Mr.
Douglas, and regard the more dignifeC
ties. While eagerness for high office is
| indecorous, self-commendation is dis
gusting. Whoever is the peoples choice
let us hear him say, with the proud Ro
man
' do beseech you,
Let me o'erleap that custom for l cannot
Put on the gown, stand naked, and entrea
For my wounds sake, to give their suffrage:
That may pass this doing"
To see a man who would be Presi
dent; to see him, like the shameless:
mendicant, show his stumps, and CLAIM
an aims to see him jostle and scramble
for the prize-it is enough to make u;
distrust elective Institutions. For wher,
is the rebuke, which discerning and
indignant people hurls at the head o
such mountebank =? Do they under.
stand him, and say-It is enough we
want hero, not valet? Alas no
and the observer of human nature reluc
tantly admits, that an ignoble people pro
claims itself by an ignoble approba
lion.
We need not say that it is in no par.
tizan spirit that we thus speak. Many
of the sentiments which Mr. Douglas ex
presses are honorable and patriotic, bu
his championship of them in this man.
ner, as the self-appoinled leader Of a par.
ty, is in the worst possible taste. For il
cannot be forgotten that the prominence
of his position is not due to the ansoiici-
ted voice of the people, but is the result
of an unprecedented and discredtablC
course of electioneering
Stump speech making was conees-
sion to the ignorance of a sparse frontier

this is It's greater shame. For not even

One of the best things ever spoken TO
the people from the political stump, is
the following extract from a speech made
a few days since by the Hon John A,
Andrew, the Republican candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts. In speech
the other day, he said

of the chances of politics, none of the
prophecies of wise men, can save State,

to the restoration of peace to a bereaved

He has been seen at Philadelphia, New

heard from at Boston, Portland, Augusta,
