extensive influence and encouraged intelligent la

PUNIsaMENTs.

Under the law establishing penitehtiary, We
suppose that the duty win devolve upon the Leg
islature this winter Of revising the criminal code
Of this State, and of declaring for what offences,
and for what length Of time criminals may be ad-
judged to the penitentiary. This will not be G
difficult matter to accomplish, but in doing it, We
could wish that the Legislature would address itself
to the task, of SO regulating the punishment in
ficted upon the criminal as to encourage him to
reform The object of all punishment is, or ought
to be, first, by example to deter others from the
commission of the like offence; and secondly,
while suffering the penalty of the violated Law, to
encourage reformation in the criminal. If our
Legislators can achieve these two ends they will
effect good work for the State. To shut GRIM
inal up in the penitentiary for . term of years,
and then turn him out with his sense Of respecta-
bility crushed out, and without hope and dollar
to- rccommence life with, would be simply to let
loose again upon society q hopeless desperate,
more fully nerved and thoroughly prepared for
the commission of crime. AS one means of avoid
ing this deplorable result, and of encouraging the
convict to enter manfully upon new course of
life we would suggest that certain portion OF his
yearly earnings while in the penitentiary, should
be placed to his credit, and paid over to him when
his term expires. Then, though he would leave
under the band of society, he would be SO far re-
moved from the temptation Of Immediately COM
mitting crime; and he would have the means. to
enable him to enter upon some reputable business.

Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more women that toll
and sorrow. Obedience to fashion is
a greater transgression Of the laws of
woman'S nature, a greater injury to
her physical and mental constitution,
than the hardships of poverty and neg
lect. The slave-woman at her tasks,
will live and grow old, and see two
or three generations of her mistresses
fade and pass away. The washerw6-
man, with scarce ray of hope to
cheer her in her tolls, will live to see
her fashionable sisters all die around
her. The kitchen-maid. is hearty and
strong, when her lady has to be nursed
like sick baby. 1t is a sad truth
that fashion -pampered women are al
most worthless for all the good ends
of human life. They have but little
force of character; they have still less
power of moral will, and quite as lit
tie physical cncrrr. They have no
great purpose in iiie-they accomplish
no worthy ends, are doIl-forms in
the hands of milliners and servants, to
be dressed and fed to order They
drsss nobody, they feed nobody, they
instruct nobody; they bless nobody.
and save nobody. They write nc
books, they set no rich examples Of
virtue and womanly life. 1t they rear
children, servants and nurses do al
save to conceive and give them birth
And when reared, what are they
What do they ever amount to bu
weaker scions Of the old stock ? Who
ever heard of a fashionable woman;
child exhibiting any virtue and pow
er of mind for which it became emi
nent? Read the biographies of on
great and good men and woman. No
one of them had a fashionable mother
They nearly all sprung from stron'
minded women, who had about a
little to do with fashion as with th
clouds.

TIE MUTE DETECTIvE.-"No dogs

assemblage, as young man and his
dog appeared at the entrance; "you

Very WELL said the young man,

to refer to his watch, when behold
the chain had been snapped III two, and
the valuable time piece was gone
He considered the case moment, and
then a sudden thought flashed through
his mind. So stepping out, he whia-
pered the fact to the porter, gained
permission to take his dog in for a
minute or two. "Look here, Prince, =

pocket and cut chain. "Do you un-
derstand, old fellow? In there, sir,
is the thief. You find it, my good
doggie and I'll get you a famous treat.
You understand do you? ?"
Prince wagged his head and tail,
and gave his master a wonderfully
knowing look, and then the two stole
quietly into the place again. Quietly
this dumb detective glided around
among the people, smelling away al

The young man quietly made know

The Twin Brothers.
A TRUE STORY OF THE WAR.

1t is said that fact is stranger than
fiction. How true this is, is eXemph-
fed in the following true story Of two
brothers, twins, occurring during the
memorable siege of Port Hudson
Passing one day through the streets
Of that little town we noticed two
corpses, lying upon the gallery of the
carpenters shop, awaiting their turn
for the boxes dignifed by the title of
coffins, to cOnsign them to their last
resting place. They were bodies of
tall stature, stout, and well built, be-
tokening the hardy backwoodsmen of
the Southwest. Over the face of each
was thrown a cloth through which the
blood was oozing, showing that they
had received their death wounds thro'
the head. 1t was no uncommon sight
during the siege, to see death in every
form, from the body pierced by the
single bullet, to the one shattered to
atoms by the common ball or fearful
mortar she'll. Yet there was some
thing in the appearance of these bod
les which riveted our attention, and
induced the inquiry as to who they
were. A rough, grizzly, weather beat
en- Confederate soldier was sitting by
their side, whose arm, tied up, showed
that for the present he was unfit fol

Alcohol a Poison.

The qualities of alcohol are CON-
paratively as noXious to the system
as the grape is beneficial. 1t is
classed by Prof. Christian, III his treat
les on poison, among the narotic acrid
poisons these possess double action,
being both local irritants, and produ-
cling also an effect on the nervous sys-
TEN. To this class belong night-Shade,
hemlock. foxglove, nuxvomica, cam
phor tobacco, alcohol, ether, etc.
Negatively alcohol cannot fulfil the
purposes or supply the place of food
and drink, or not in any degree inno-
Gently and permanently. As chemi-
cal agent it has great affinity for wa
ter; has the property of preventing
corruption, will preserve liquors as
well as vegetable and animal fibres,
preserve them not in life but in death.
DR.. Ure says: f" Alcohol coagulateS
albumen and hardens the muscular
fibre and coagulum Of the blood. -
There is no doubt of its injurious ten
dency; it enters the blood with water,
for which it has great affinity, and
runs its course unchanged. By the
testimony of anatomists scarcely
body is dissected but has some parts
hardened and the brain of drunkards
are found evidently so. l eos

Cholera--DweIIing House Cellars.

DR.. Hall, who published and edits
the Journal of Health, one of the most
sensible, practicle and useful monthlies
in this country, devotes the whole of
the March number to an interesting
article on Farmers House." showing
where they should be built; indica-
ting certain convenience to be secur-
ed, and certain inconvenience to be
avoided, and pointing out all the essen
tials to health, comfort and content
ment. One of the most interesting
and useful portions Of this article is
that devoted to Cellars in Dwelling
Houses" which he declares are often
times the sources from which those
gasses constantly ascend that impreg-
nate every room in the houses to which
they are attached with a vitiated and
unWholesOme atmosphere.
He speaks Of the habit prevalent
among house keeps OF making the eel
lars the summer and winter receptacle
of every variety Of vegetables and
fruits, as we'll of rubbish and
kitchen ofal, and of all that is old and
|mseemIy. He advises a thorough
examination and cleansing Of the eel
lars attached to every house in which
slow and Obscure disease prevails
among the members of the family
He says such cellars should be emp
ted of every movable thing, the walls
thoroughly swept and washed, aired
for a week. and the former whiteWash-
ed.
He cites the remarkable instance of
the efficacy Of cleanliness in prevent
inc cholera-with which we are now
threatened--and Of its attraction by
uncleannincss. During q cholera sum
mer unusual efforts were made in B0s-
ton to provide against it. The most
stringent and thorough hygenic meas
ures were taken. Reliable men were
appointed TO examine every house
from cellar to garrct ami COMPEL the
removal OF everything winch cOuid

the fearful scourge. Theresults were
admirable: there was not q single
case Of cholera except in a very re
