Something for every Man TO Read.

We have probably all of US met with in
stances, in which a word heedlessly spoken
against the reputation of female, has been
magniied by malicious minds until the cloud
has become dark enough TO overshadOw her
whole existence. To those who are accas-
tomed-not necessarily from bad motives,
but from though1essness-to speak lightly
OF females, We recommend these hints,as wor-
thy of consideration
Never use la3y's name in an improper
place, at an improper time, or in mixed COM
pany-
Never make an assertion about her that
you know TO be untrue, or allusions that you
feel she herself would blush to hear.
When You meet men who do not seruple
to make use of woman's name in reckless
and unprineipled manner, shun them, for
they are the very worst members of the COM
munity-men lost to every sense OF honor
every feeling of humanity.
Many good and worthy woman's charac-
ter has been forever ruined and her heart
broken by lie, manufactured by some VII
lain, and repeated where it should not have
been, and IN the presence of those whose lit
tie Judgment could not deter them from cir
culating the foul and Dragging report.
The SANDER is soon propsgated, and the
smallest thing deroga,ory to the character of
woman viii fly on the wings of the wind
and magnify as ii circulates, until Its mon
trous weight crushes the poor unfortunate
victim.
Respect the name of woman, for your
mother and sisters are women; and as YOU
would nave their fair names uniarnish-d, anu
their lives unembittered by the slanderer's
biting tongue, heed the Ill that your own
tongue may bring on the mother, the sister,
or the vile of some fellow creature.

seuslule OF us perll. 10 pass between nosiue
lines in the lone hours of the night-for he
did not wait for daylight-to be halted by
suerrilias and scouts and pickeis, With guns
aimed at him, and, finally, to meet and sat
isfy the anxious, keen-eyed, heartsearching
rebel oflcers as well as our own, was a men
tai as well as physical demand that
could not long be sustained. While pro-
ceeding upon his last expedition, the author
met the nameless one upon by-road. We
halted our horses, drew near, and cunversed
few seconds in private, while our atten-
dants and companions moved on. He was
greatly exhausted and soiled in appearance.
his clothing having been rained upon and
splashed by muddy water, caused by hard
riding, and which had dried upon him. He
said be was about to try it once more, and,
though he had been so often and successful
ly, yet he feared detection and Its sure result
the bullet or the halter. He had been
unable, amid the hurry excitement, to make
some final disposition of his affairs. He gave
US last message to send to his wife and
children in case it became necessary; and be
also desired promise-most freely given
that We would attend to the settlement of
his account with our General for services re-
Gently rendered. Thus concluding, he wrung
our hand most earnestly, and, putting spurs
to his fresh and spirited animal, dashed #
upon his mission. Twenty hours afterward
We were relieved of our anxious foreboding
by bis safe and successful return. We have
stated the price paid him for his labors five
thousand dollars; it was well earned, and
TO our cause was a most profitable invest
ment.
