An Item Which Every Man
Should Read.


We have probably all of us met with
instances in which a word heedlessly
spoken against the reputation of a
female has been magnifed by malicious
minds until the cloud has been dark
enough to over-shadow her whole ex-
istence. To those who are accustomed,
not necessarily from bad motives, but
from thoughtlessness, to speak lightly
of ladies, we recommend these "hints'
as worthy of consideration;
Never use lady's name in an i'm
proper place, at an improper time, or
in mixed company Never make as
sertions about her that you think un-
true, or illusions that you feel she her
self would blush to hear. When you
meet with men who do not scruple to
make use of woman's name in a
reckless and unprincipled manner, shun
them, for they are the very worst
members of the community-men lost
to every sense of honor, every feeling
of humanity.
Many good and worthy woman's
character has been forever ruined and
heart broken by a lie manufactured by
some villain, and repeated where it
should not have been, and in the pres
ence of those whose little INDIGNANT
could not deter them from circulating
the foul and Dragging report. A
SANDER is soon propagated, and the
smallest thing derogatory to woman's
character will fly on the wings of the
wind, and magnify as it circulates, un-
til its monstrous weight crushes the
poor unconscious victim. Respect the
name Of woman, for your mother and
sisters are women, and as you would
have their fair name untarnished, and
their lives unembittered by the SANDER
er's bitter tongue, heed the i'll that your
own words may bring upon the mother,
the sister, or the wife of some fellow

1t is to be hoped the present pedes
trian fever will settle nown in 4 taste
for walking. Just now, however, the
excitement is towards remarkable feats
in pedestrianism; The man who car
walk one hundred miles in twenty-foui
consecutive hours, or can walk all day al
the rate of five miles per hour is the
hero. This excitementis all in the right
direction, but it goes too far !; it travels
too fast Walking as daily exercise
is needed by all our men and woman,
who lead sedentarys lives, Our girls
and ouryoupg women, and our married
women, whose daily duties require lit
tie or no exercise, should walk At least
four miles daily. Independent Of; the
healthfulness of this practice, it deye-
lopes the muscles, improves the figure,
and gives grace of action. Women,
sssuredly wish to heighten their charms
of person, even if they are regardless
of bodily health. Then walk, daily, in
the open air, rain or shine, hot or cold
not huddle upin a muff and cape, but
with free play to the arms, with the
throat exposed. Put your fur on the
feet if you will wear it, but never load
down the shoulders. -.F. :.

DYING OUT.
The following statistics are curious and
should cause many jeremaids in New
England. II correct, there is positively
a chance for mankind's regeneration
somewhere ia the neighbOrhOod Of the
year 5000, for the Puritan stock begins
to exhibit decay.
An exchange says: The tOwp records,
il is said, show that the first generation
Of settlers, when they were Englishmeu,
the average number of children in a fam
lily was eight or ten Ia the second, third
and fourth generations, the number was
seven or eight in the fifth, five was the
average number; in the sixth, il was
less than three. In the present, which
is supposed to be the seventh generation,
the average number Of offspring is less
than three even, and the deaths exceed
in number the births. Meantime, the
foreigners increase by immigration and
by excess Of births over deaths. II is
calculated that If this process 90 on, the
foreign born population and their des-
cendRnts will, in about twenty-five years,
0utnumber tbe Puritan stock.
The signs Of deesdsnce are yet more
plain in the rapid deterioration Of the
public men Of New England. There IS
an immense difference between WEE
sTER aud CHoATE, and their successors,
not alone in intellect, but in the other
attributes of q Statesman. Mr.. SUMNER
is a lawyer and a scholar but the
orations which he reads in the Senate
have nothing in them, in all their
sham iceronian pomPLto make them
live and be remembered. They always
remind one OF a short-legged man on
stills. Mr.. WILSON is a person, we be-
lieve, Of more real vigOr Of intellect than
SUMNER but there is no possibility Of
mistsking him for a great man. or The
two, he is, we sincerely believe, by far
the better man, the Jess vulgarly vindic-
tive; in many respects, indeed, generous.
FEssENDEN is the ablest la1gyeg In the
Senate but he Is very little except &
lawyer.

quire persons summoned in his court as
jurors to take it.

house Of representatives, introduced a
resolution citing the decision OF Judge
Moodsy and asking the judiciary COM
mittee to inquire II said decision was de-
livered In open court, and whether the
judge allowed jurors to serve without
taking the oath and il SO, whether such
action would justify proceedings for ad-
dress and impeachment. II the COM

case.
