IDLE GlRLs.-The number of idle, Use
less girls in all our large cities seems to
be steadily increasing. They lounge or
sleep through the morning, parade the
streets during the afternoon, and asseth-
bic in frivolous companies of their own
and other sex to pass away their even
.ings. What store of unhappincss for
themselves and others are they laying up
for the coming time, when real duties
and high, responsibilities shall be thought
lessly assumed. They are skilled in no
domestic duty nay, they despise them;
have no habit of industry nor taste for
the useful. What will they be as wives
and mothers? Alas for the husbands and
children, and alas for themselves. Who
can wonder if domestic unhappincss or
domestic ruin follows It is one of the
worlds oldest maxims that idlencss is
the mother Of all evil and wrctchedness.
How sadly strange is it that so many
parents-mothers specially-forget this,
and bring up their children in dainty
idleness. They are but sowing the wind

INFLUENCE OF SENSIBLE WO-
MEN

1t is &dnderous advantage to man il
every pursuit or avocation, to secure an
adviser in sensible woman. In women
there is at once a subtle delicacy of tact
and plain soundness of Judgment
which are rarely combined to an equal
degree in man. A woman, if she is re.
ally your friend, will have sensitive re-
gard for your character, honor, repute.
She will seldom counsel you to do a shah
by thing, for woman friend always de-
sires to be proud of you. At the same
time her constitutional timidity makes
her more cautious than your male friend.
She therefore, seldom counsels you to do
an imprudent thing. By female friend
ships | mean true friendships those in
which there is no admixture of the pas
sion of love, except in the married state
A mans best friend is wife of good
sense and good heart, whom he loves
and who loves him. If he have that, he
need not seek elsewhere. But supposing
the man to be without such helpmate,
female friendships he must still have, or
his intellect will be without a garden, and
there will be many an unhccded gap even
in its strongest fence Better and safer,
of course, such friendships were dispari-
ties of years or circumstances put the idea
of love out of the question. Middle life
has rarely this advantage, youth and old
age have. We may have female friend
ships with those much older than our
selves. Molier's old housekeeper was a
great help to his genius; and Montaigne's
philosophy takes both gentler and lof-
tier character of wisdom from the date
in which he finds in Maria dc Gournay,
an adopted daughter; certainly beloved
by me-" says the Horace of essayists,
"With more than maternal love; and
involved in my solitude and retirement
as one of the best parts of my being"

TWELVE YEARS IN A KENTUCKY Y
PRISON. = e.. r.....
INTERESTING NARRATIVE.

Some weeks ago it was announced that
Lieutcnant-G Governor JAcoDs of Kentucky
had pardoned Rev. CALVIN FAIRBANK out
of the pcnitentiary of that State dtrlng
the temporary absence of Governor
BRAMLErrE. a correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune who has recently had
an interview with MIR. Fairbank, gives
the following interesting narrative -
In November, 1851, Rev. Mr.. Fair
bank was in Louisville on business con-
nected with the Oberlin (Ohio) Institute
and while there was made acquainted
with the case of young slave girl near
ly white. who was endeavoring to escape
to the free States. She was the property
of one 4. L. Shortwell, of Louisville,
and was named lamar. The story she
related to Mr.. Fairbank, though such as
thousands in her condition could trucly
relate, so worked on his feelings and so
aroused lis sympathies and Indignation
that he determined. to render her escape
certain. On the night of November 2,
they crossed the Ohio from Louisville to
Jehersonville, Indiana. The girl secre-
ted herself in field, while he went in
pursuit Of a horse and buggy. ',h
Before daylight he got her, cold and
benumbed, into the buggy, and that day
(November 3d) drove thirty-four miles
into Indiana, placed her among friends
and himself returned with the horse
and buggy to Jeffersonville, where he
remained about week., On his way'te
church the following Sunday, he wa.
assaulted and seized by William Ronald
the Marshal Of Louisville, Kentucky (now
sheriff. and one Stamlett, a watchman
assisted by said Shortwell, and thus kid
mapped, he was taken by force from In
diana into Kentucky. He was tlirowr
into prison in Louisville, where he lay
about five months awaiting trial, bal
being required in the sum Of five thou
sand dollars, which he, of course, wa
unable to procure in that State. I
On the 25th Of February, 1859, Mr.
Fairbank was arraigned for trial. Al
though no direct evidence WAS offered an,
nothing but the slightest circumstantia
evidence given. such as his being seen ii
Louisville on the same night the girl es
capped, still being determined to punisl
him under the slave laws, they convie.e
him under their statute relating to entic
ing slaves, and he was sentenced to fl
teen years imprisonment. During til
time of his imprisonment he was subjecte
to the most brutal, wicked and inhuma

the prison, the profits arising from th
labor of the prisoners were divided bt
