For the Girls.

From an excellent communication
published in the Columbus Miss. M-
der of June s, we copy the following
expressly for the girls:
Being old, and therefore allowed IL
cense for teasing the girls on matri-
monial subjects, | consult them about
their future prospects often, and find
that the opinion obtains with them
that the youg men are never SO slow
in proposing rs in these days, which,
we must admit, gives them a good,
not to say all powerful reason for not
taking husband. Now, young ladies,
the whole secret with nne-tenths of
you, of not being able to get off your
parents hands, is simply you do not
know how to work. You cannot keen
house You cannot make pair of
brooches. You cannot tell for the life
OF YOU, the difference between bran
and shorts, or which COW gives the
buttermilk. The young men gener-
ally came out Of the war with the
skin of their teeth" with no fortune,
| might say, but their wardrobes OF
gray and their canteens, and to marry
with them now, rest assured, relates
more to making a living With the as
sistance of loving, industrious help
mate, than indulging in opera music,
moonshine and poetry. Do you know
what they say OF one of your butterfly
young ladies who has held them in
the parlor engaged by the hour listen
ing to elegant nothings?' Nineteen
times out Of twenty it Is this; "Well,
she is all right for an evenings enter
tainmepi, but she will not make q
good wife.
There is no possible objection to
the accomplishment of music, paint
ing, and the like, us such, but the idea
is to be able to set these prior amuse-
ments aside for the period when the
stern duties of married life call foi
Your practical knowledge. Show the
young men that you can do your part
of double business; that you can cook
a meals victuals on pinch; that yor
can sweep up ,nl du t, and scrub, nc
darn old stockings, and save penny
toward an accumulated pound; that
you will not be dead expense to him
through life. Believe me,youpg friends
as many true, heroic, womaDly hearts
beat over household duties as huttei
beneath the soft light of n parloi
chandelier. Your kiss is just us sweet
your smile just as bright, your hear
as happy and tender, after a days ex
ertion i'll sphere worthy of true
womanhood, rs in places of dissipa
ton, frippery and silly amusement. =
Have an ambition to do your part il
life; cultivate industrial habits anc
let the parlor accomplishments g
with the higher accomplishments
have roughly enumerated. 1t is as
tonishing how soon a domestic young
lady is found ont and appreciated
is because she is such rare exception
20 the general rule.

How TO BECOME CoSTENrED WITH
ONES OwN HoNE---A wealthy man of
Boston who OWNS country residence
in the suburbs of that city, recently
became dissatisfied with it, determin-
ed to have another, and instructed an
auctioneer famous for his descriptive
powers to advertise ii in the papers at
private sale, but to conceal the loca-
ton, telling purchasers to apply at his
Office. In few days the gentleman
happened upon the advertisement, was
pleased with the account Of the place,
showed it to his wife, and the two con-
Guided it was just what they wanted
and that they would secure it at once.
So he went to the Office of the auc-
tioneer and told him that the place he
had advertised was such one as he
desired and be would purchase ill.,.
The auctioneer burst into laugh and
Told him that that was tie description
OF his own house where he WAS then
living. He read the advertisement
again, pondere1 over the grassy
slopes, beautiful vistas," smooth
lawns. etc, and broke ont, rs it pos
sible. Well, auctioneer, make out my
bin for advertising and expenses, by
George. / wouldn't sell the place for
three times what it cost me-"

What are Woman's Rights.

The right to wake when others sleep:
The right to watch. tic right ~ weep;
The right 10 comfort IN distress;
The right 20 sootho, the right to bless;
The right the Widows heart 10 cheer;
The right 10 dry the orphans tenr
The right to feed and clothc the poor,
The right.to teach them to endure;
Tho right, whom other friends have flown
And left the sufferer all alone,
To lmeel that dying couch beside
And mcehy point to Him who died;
The right happy home to wake
In any CLINE for Jesus sake
Rights such as these ar, all we crave
Until our last-a peaceful grave.

Presidents, and thus far no ''impeach-
ments.' The subjoined scrap-the
work of some unknown hand will in
form you all who have been Presidents,
and the order in which they occupied
the chair,
Great Washington was number one;
Then Senior Adams next came on.
Jefferson made the number three
Then Madison the fourth was he,
Monroe, the fifth to him succeeds
And sixth, junior Adams leads.
The seventh, Andrew Jackson came;
Aud eighth we count Van Buren, S name.
Then harrison made nine
And tenth John Tyler filed the line.
Polk was the eleventh, as we know,
The twelfth was Taylor in the row.
fillmore, the thirteenth, took his place
And Pierce was fourteenth iii the race.
Buchanan, the fifteenth, is seen;
Then Lincoln, rs sixteenth, next comes
in
johnson, the seventeenth and last,
/ Still lives TO close the illustrious past
Now let us stop until we see
I Who our next President will be.

paper, still continues the favor OF his presence
& nightly at Che house, Notwithstanding. a strong
armed guard is kept in aud outiof it, who fire
upon his ghostship whenever he appears.
u Night before last We are informed, a large
party Of students went from the University ito
try their hands at the spiritual visitor, but
were as unsuccessful as those before them had
( been, Notwithstanding the Ghost made itself
visible to them 1t, however, eluded their
grasp and paid no attention whatever to the
bullets with which it was greeted.
We are told that one night, some two weeks
since, yolley was fired at his ghostship, with
evident effect, as he cried out in agony that he
was shot, and made of the premises at a double
quick that ie6e6 pursuit. The next day upon
examining the route over which he lied, dis
tlnct traces of blood were found at regular In
tervals for some distance, but finally dlsap-
peared. Taken altogether this IS about the
most remarkable ghost story we have heard,
and we. are not prepared yet to express an
opinion in the matter. ,,4la
That there is something in it, however, we
are not permitted to doubt from the sources
We obtain our information, and from the addl-
tonal fact that the whole neighborhood about
which his ghostship cir;ulates with such dar-
Ing, is in a high state of excitement, and that
