The Training of Girls.

The truth is that in a human being, even
from the physical point of view, it is rather
a dangerous thing to ignore the intellect and
the emotions. Nature resents being igno-
red, If you do not cultivate her, she will
assuredly avenge herself. If you do not get
wheat out of your piece of ground, she will
abundantly give you tares. And there can
be no other rule expressly invented for the
benefit of fashionable young women. Their
moral nature, if nobody ever taught them to
keep an eager eye upon it, is soon over
grown. either with Haunting posion plants,
or at best with dull gray moss. The parent
dreams that the daughters mind is all swept
and garnished. Lo, there are seven or any
other number of devils that have entered
in and taken possession, more or less perma.
nent. The human creature who has never
been taught to- take an interest in what is
right and wholesome will, in ninetv-nine
cases out of hundred, take an interest in
what is wrong and unwholesome. You can.
not keep minds in state of vacuum. A
girl, like anybody else, will obey the bent G.
the character which has been given either by
the education of design or the more usual
education of mere accidental experience.
Everything depends, in the ordinary course
OF things, upon the general view of the aims
and objects of life which you succeed, DELHI
erately or by hazard, in creating. A girl is
not taught that marriage, which has grave
moral and rational purposes, itself being no
more than a means. On the contrary, it is
always figured in her eyes as an end scarcely
at all connected with moral and rationa
companionship. 1t is, she faneles, the gate
to some sort Of paradise whose mysterious
joys are not to be analysed. She forgets that
there are no such swift looming spontaneous
paradises in this world, where the future can
never be anything more than the child of the
present, indehbly stamped with every fea.
ture and line of Its parent. This castle
building, however, is harmless. IF it does
not strengthen, still it does not absolutely
impoverish or corrupt character. OF some
castle building one cannot say so much.
Character is assuredly corrupted by avarici
Gus dreams of marriage as road to mater.
al opulence and luxury. There is, indeed,
no end to the depraved broodings which
may come to an empty and undirected mind.
If the emotions and the intellect are moi
tended and trained they will run to an evil,
propagating seed. Rooted and incurable fri
volity is the best that can come of it; cor
rnption is the worst Saturday Rerieer.

Making Glass Eyes.
From the American Artisan.

1t is said that there are in New York at
least seven thousand peple who wear false
eyes. There are two or three places where
false eyes are made and inserted.
The manufacture of these eyes is done en-.
tirely by hand A man sits down behind a
jet Of gas fame, which is pointed and direct
ed as he wishes by blow pipe.
The pupil of the eye is made with drop
of black glass imbeddsd in the centre of the
iris. The blood vessels seen in the white of
the eye are easily put in with red glass,
while the optic is glowing with heat like q
bali of gold. The whole eye can be made
inside of an hour, and is at once ready to
put in. The reader should know that it is
simply thin glass shell, which is intended
to cover the stump of the blind eye. After
being dipped in water this shell is slipped in
place, being held by the eyelids. The Sc
cret OF imparting motion to it depends upon
working the glass eye so that it shall fit the
stump-if it is too large it will not move if
it FITS nicely, it moves in every particular
like the natural eye, and it is quite impossi-

From the New York Times, Oct. 5.

We believe it is no secret that Mrs. Lin.
coin Is in this city under an assumed name,
trying to dispose of a quantity of valuable
laces, shawls, jewelry and other articles re-
ceived as presents by her while in the White
House, from parties interested in securing
her favor. If she is in need of the money
which these articles are worth, the most di.
rect mode of disposing of them would be the
most creditable. We presume they will sell in
open market, and even at auction for about
their fair value. We think the family OF
President Lincoln is entitled to more ade-
quate and liberal provision at the hands of
congress and the country than has been made
for them. But it can scarcely be expected that
individuals, unless in extraordinary and ex.
ceptional cases, will pay more for these ar
ticles than they are worth, simply because
they were originally given as presents to the
wife of the Chief Magistrate. We have
heard mysterious whisperings that unless
they were redeemed by parties who had re

owner, very damaging revelations were like.

MRS. LINCoLN's OPINION OF REPUBLICANS.

MRS. LINCoLN's OPINION OF REPUBLICANS.
A significant feature of the subsequent
letters and memoranda is the feeling enter.
tanned by Mrs. Lincoln towards leading re-
publicans. She complains bitterly that men
who besought her influence to secure their
official positions, and were profuse with
promises if she would crafty their wishes,
now give her the cold shoulder. Certain
persons of that party, such as Thurlow Weed, ,
Henry J. Raymond, William FL. Seward,
and others, she is particularly severe against,
and claims that it was through their infiu-
ence that the plan proposed by the Tribune
to raise a fund for her by the voluntary sub
scriptions of the people was thwarted. At
this point the following memorandum, the
original being in Mrs. Lincoln's own hand
writing, is given,
The question was asked Mrs. Lincoln
what her feelings were in regard to the re-
publican party, in consideration of the un-
kindness and ingratitude displayed by them
in depriving her of almost all means of sup
port, the reply was, II could not relinquish
my attachment for the party to which my
husband belonged, and in whose cause his
precious life was sacrificed, Notwithstanding
it is composed of such men as Weed, Rey-
mond and Seward, who nominally belong to
it, and who to accomplish their purposes
would drag it down to the lowest depths of
degradation. The late president thoroughly
tested these men, and had become fully
aware before his death of their treachery and
falseness."
MRS. LINCOLN UNDER AN ASSUMED NAME.
As the negotiation with Mr.. Brady pro.
eeeds, Mrs. Lincoln deemed it best that her
name should not appear, the reasons for
which are given in the following extract
from letter written by her:
Extract of a letter from Mrs Lincoln
Through the ingratitude of the republicans
towards the memory of the lamented president
the family of their chief have been left to suffer
want and destitution. Therefore it is natural to
suppose that when it became imperatively nsces-
sary for Mrs. Lincoln, the honored and beloved
wife OF the late president, to dispose of apparel
and jewelry to enable her to meet the common
daily necessities of life, it was certainly better
taste that Mrs. Clarke, rather than Mrs. Lincoln,
should appear In the proceeding. Although in
her overwhelming sorrow she was by an migrate
full republican party, deprived of her rightful
maintenance, they should appreciate her delica-
cy in desiring her true name and their own ig-
-nominy from being known to the world"

that he should not resist the will of Provi

There are hundreds of large, well-watered stock
farms in the country which the owners value fully
one thousand dollars more than if they were not
thus royded with water. 1t is high time, there
fore, for the great Agricultural Interest of the
country, that the farmers of the northwest should
be made aware of the fact that all the high and
dry prairies of the country, by the use of this
cheap and simple device, can be made good stock
farms, and really more valuable than those pos
ssssing these natural advantages for water, for
there is no waste land, and the water can be pro.
vided directly at the points desired, in farmyards
and pastures.
Where is the farmer, then, that after knowing
he can thus increase the real value of his farm
from $500 to 81 900, will be content to make q
drudge of himself employees by pumping wa
ter for stock!
After ten years experience in building and
recting many hundreds of these machines, and
xtensive acquaintance with the various attempts
made within the last thirty years to construct q
self Regulating Wind Machine, we most fully be-
lieve that nothing has ever been offeied to the
public equal to Haladsy's Improved Mill.
They simple in their construction that
any common joiner can erect them and attach a
common farm yard pump. They can be stopped
Instantly by means of lever on the upright tim
Der supporting the mill, and can be arranged
that float will stop the Mill when tho tank is
full and start themselves again when the water is
used.
