Office Seaboard & Roanoke R. R, Co.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH %, 1867.
1 l. has been understood by the officers in
IL charge of transportation Uia the Sea-
board Inland Freight Route, that letters
addressed to the Railroad Agent at Ports
mouth, on the subject of frcights, are un-
answered, and that, in consequence, causes
of delay are not explained and claims for
losses and damage unsettled; and as the
Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Company,
who are the forwarding agents for the line,
are satlshcd that these causes of complaint
arc rcy due to their agents, but to the in
accuracy of. the mails, in order to test this
su set, the Manager of tho Seaboard
Road requests that whenever persons have
written to the undersigned, Agent of the
Seaboard Road, and after waiting reason
able time for reply, have not received it,
that they will address him letter, onclos-
ing aduplicate of the letter they had pre-
yiously addressed to tho Agent. If this is
complied with, and tho MANAGER of the
Seaboard Road receives the letter, he gives
assurance that it shall be promptly inves-
tigated and replied to.
This Airline Freight Route claims to he
the most expeditions and direct route, and
avoiding, to great extent, marine insur-
ance;' also, the
CHEAPEST "FREIGHT ROUTE" BE-
TWEEN THE NORTHERN CITIES AND
NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA.
AS freight consigned by the compa-
nies' connecting steamers is forwarded
from PORTSMOUTH within twenty-four hours
after being landed, there is no reason for
delays; and although freight may some
times be mis-sent, it will in such cases be
promptly traced, and if not found, will bo
paid for.
The companies forming this line cannot
bo responsible for the rapid transportation
OF freights, or for charges upon it, unless
sent from Boston by tho Boston and Nor
folk Steamship Company, end of Centre
Wharf; from New York, by the cold Do
minion" Steamship Company, Pier 81.
North River; from Philadelphia, by Clyde's
Line of Steamers, II North Delaware Ave
nue., or uia the "Apname essic" Line Depot,
philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad; and from Baltimore, uia the Bay
Line Steamers, foot of Union Dock.
Eor freight shipped to tho Seaboard
Company by schooners or by other steam
ship lines, the companies cannot be respon-
sible until landed on their wharves. Per-
sons writing about freight that has not
reached them, will please be careful to
state the date of shipment, by whom ship
ped, from what place, by what line of
steamers, and, if possible, enclose a copy
OF the through receipt to

: During the entire winter, young
Methodist preacher, who went to
Salisbury, Mass, as a minister, but
after few Sabbaths had the church
closed against him, has coolly taken
his stand each Sunday on the steps OF
the meeting house, and gone through
the regular services, with no soul near
to cheer him or lend a sympathetic
ear. Amid the driving sleet and
snow and whistling winds, with unco-
vered head, he might have been seen,
!nstructing, praying, preaching, sing
ing and pronouncing the blessing
upon the empty air. He is always
cheerful and hopeful, but no expos
tulation or persuasion can turn him
his duty.

N-FN ENF
and imbruted, furnish us with sad IL
lustrations of the effect on their sex of
mingled poverty and toll. We heve
seensome of these wretched creatures
whose very semblance to humanity
seemed well nigh crushed out of them.
OF course there are exceptions. Some
times we see an excessively handsome
girl come of people who are miser-
ably poor; and rice rersa, peering out of
q. .sumptuous carriage the face of o
'Gorgon. But as a rule, where
wealth and leisure and consequent cnl-
ture exist, health and beauty naturally
follow in the second generation. I The
beauty of the women of the English ar
istocraey Is werld-famous, and deserved
ly SO; and it has been attained by the
protracted enjoyment of precisely these
faculties.
1t is hardly necessary for us to point
out that we mean to describe health and
beauty as flowing from the possession of
wealth solely in proportion to the in
creased intelligence and the juaicious
use of it which means and leisure may
be supposed in general fairly to develop.
That people not endowed with riches
may not progressively attain to an ideal
healthfulncss and comeliness by exer-
else, by cleanliness, and by intellectual
culture, we do not for O moment mean
to insinuate; but their average chances
are certainly not so good; and rich peO-
pie may and often do de, enerate by the
sluggish and inhuinan indulgence into
which they are tempted to fall, although
they are scarcely prone in n polished
community to permit themselves in a
general sense to do SO. The develop
ment either of mind or body must be
looked for in masses in the ratio of their
opportunities, and the accumulation OF
wealth in America must be credited in n
considerable degree with the more SEN
sible habits of physical training which
are so rapidly improving the beauty and
strength of American women. Exam
pies set among the higher elasses.nat-
urally affect all others, and thus q diff
fused improvement in this most import
ant respect may confidently be antici-
pated. 1t is to be hoped that mental
and moral beauty may now keep pace
with bodily beauty; that corrupt, triv-
ial, and silly literature may be eschew-
ed no less THAN the yitiating food and
languid habits which have impeded the
development of our feminine pysique.
The cultivation of a higher and purer
school of letters must lie, in OFT busy
system, very much in female hands; and
they can if they will give it decided
and wholesome impetus. Beauty of ex-
preston, depending so much on the
habitual frame of the mind, is promoted
to a striking extent by refined and ele-
waited selection in reading and study.
When the ladies read only what they
should read and guide their daughters
into a like custom, they will do much in
aid of improved physical habits to breed
and train up q still more lovely mi har-
monious order of ideal American beauty

yesterday we saw a little girl led by
