less, whose fame filed the world, makes
the following confession, from her own
experience, in referring to tight lacing:
One morning, when his daughter was
about eight years old, my father came in
and found sundry preparations going on,
the chief materials for. which Mere buck

while the young lady was under measure
ment by the hands of female friend.
"Pray what are you going to do with
the -chiidY's =

For what purpose?" s.e
''Toimprove her figure; no young lady
can grow mp properly without thenl.'"s
- 81 beg Your pardon; Young gentlemen
grow up well without them, and so may
young ladies. * 81
20, you are mistaken. See what.a
stoop she has already: depend ON it this
girl viii be both dwarf and cripple if
We don't put her into stays"
's.dy child may be cripple, ma am, if
such is Gods will, but she shall be oneof
His making, not ours. 4-g
All circumstances were in vain; stays
and every. species of tight dress were
strictly prohibited by the authority of
one whose will was, as every mans ought
Ito be-, absolute. IN his own household.
He also scarefaHy watched against any
invasion of the rule; a ribbon drawn
tightly round my waist would have been
cut without hesitation by his determined
hand, while. the little girl of the anxious
friend whose operations he had inter
rupted, enjoyed all the advantages of
that system from which / was preserved.
She grew up O. wand-hke figure, graceful
and interesting, and died of decline at
nineteen, while /, though not able to
compare shapes with the wasp or an
hour-glass, yet passed muster very fairly
among mere human forms, of Gods
moulding; and 1 have enjoyed to this
hour rare exemption from headaches
and other lady-like maladies, that appear
almost the exclusive privilege of women

ImPORTUNIrY.


I've waited long enough, Kathleen,
The winters fairly past;
The lambs are playing on the green;
The swallows come at last.
The vine Is Ieafy round my door,
The blossoms ON the May;
The waves come dancing to the shore
Why don't you name the dayr
You know you put me of, Kathleen,
Until the early spring,
The skies are tranquil and serene;
The bees are on the Wings
The fisher spreads his little sail,
The mowers in the hay;
The primrose blossoms in the vale
WHY don't you name the day
The thrush is building in the thorn,
among the whispe' ing leaves
The lark is busy in the corn,
The martin meath the caves
The little birds don't build in vsin;
Their mates don't saw them nay
Beware Imay not ask again;
Why don't you name the day.

An meonyenient Habit.

Somebody tells the following little
story, but neglects to mention whether
the suffererwas a Federal or Confederate
officer. The affair occurred on the
occasion of grand review in Charleston
The commanding general had engaged
a fine looking charger that had been
doing duty in bread cart. The troops
were formed in line to be reviewed, and
as the band struck up, the general and
staff came galloping down in front to a
good round pace, when, just as he was
passing the centre of the line, some
fellow in the ranks, knowing the
characteristics of the animal, sung out
"bread" The old horse, true to his
habit, when hearing the word, came to
''halt," and as a matter of course,
pitching his rider over his head, anG
landing him spread eagle fashion on the
grass. ~ yssw ~ ~ III
Discipline could not stand it, and
there was roar of laughter from one
end of the line to the other, including
several hundred spectators. / think ]
never saw so mad a man in my life.
He jumped up, drew his sword, and fol
few moments it seemed as if he would
take the life of every man on the
ground. He stormed and raved, offered
untold wealth for the name of the man
who did the mischief, but / doubt If he
ever knew. never see the general and
staff galloping' down the line but
think of the scene, and the way thai
functionary went to grass.

According to Halter, women bear
hunger better than men. According to
Plutarch, they can resist the effecfs.o OF
vine better. Unger says they grow
old sooner than men, but are never
bald. Pliny says they are seldom at

loves to chase fashionable ''lions ~ and
they can, according to Gunter, talk
faster than men.
