HE PLYMOUTH GiRLS.-A 0iuShlng
damscl ofsweet sixteen, her beautiful coun-
tenance wreathed in the most winning
smiles, her delicate taper fingers resting on
our sleeve, her eyes, in which there was a
look of heaven, beaming full in our face,
asked us the other day to write and place
at therhead of our local column something
Intended expressly for ''us girls" Ofcourse
we promised--how could we say nay TO
such an appeal from such source? but we
confess our dismay at the task assigned us.
To describe the PROJECTIONS, the virtues,
the accomplishments of the Plymouth girls
would require pen tipped with the costli-
est of diamonds and ink made of the dou-
BILE distilled extract of the rarest flowers.
The Plymouth girls are all the Most ar
dent admirer of loveliness could desire
Beside their rosy cheeks the peach blush
es in vain. They are neither too tall nor
too short for beauty; their present size suits
us exactly, in fact, for they are now said TO
be '.only little lower than the angels. -
We would have them approach as near as
possible in all respects to those celestial be-
ings, but were they taller, and angels in fact,
we fear they would abandon this sin-cursed
world.
Der readers have recently wsded through
the Presidents and the Governors Messa-
yes, and we fer the length of this article
would deter many from reading it, should
we undertake to enumeraie the manifold
charms and graces of which the Plymouth
girls are possessed. We hasten to say that
they all dress in the latest style, with little
or no expense to their parents, ard none
were ever known To wear shoes larger than
No in size. They play the piano equal
TO G0itschalk or any other man, and
we have even known dumb brutes TO join
the melodious chorus of their voices. But
it is not alone in tie par!or that they are
proficient; in the kitchen they understand
themselves, and can get upa square meal
that would win the heart of any man OF
discernment. However, this latter accom-
plishment seems 10 us as entirely upneces-
sary, as every last one of them is the fond
darling OF rich bachelor uncle, who has
already minated that he will come down
handsomely in his will. They, the girls
we mean, are all splendid skaters, and when
not occupied with distributing charity TO
the poor, may be found most any bright
summers day flying with winged feet over
the frozen surface ofthe magnificent marsh
es with which this region abounds. They
can row boat in style, too, and are abou:
To address j challenge TO the New York
Yacht club for race fer the championship
OF America. They are likewise excellent
marksmen-cr women, it would be more
proper TO say, we presumc--and their
shooting Chances are very destructive to
the peace arl comfort susceptible young
men.
In politics the Plymouth girls were
before, during, and are since the war in
favor of Union-,o a man. This ''goab,
we know, is rather old, but i; is true, never

we suspect, will have no desire to go to
