SENSIBLE ADvIcE.-Geo. W. Ken
dali writes from Texas to the New
Orleans Pieayaae, and gives us the
following sensible views:
The lessons which adversely teaches
arc hard, yet they must be learned.
And these lessons are always useful.
I know that it comes hard for o
young man to walk behind plow
who once rode behind a fast trotter; !;
norris it agreeable to young lady to
make and put on her dresses all by
herself, who formerly had couple of
servants to take these irksome jobs
off her hands. Yet I can see no
other remedy, at least for those who
have simply been ruined by the war,
and the list is long one. That a
large majority have accepted the sit
uation cheerfully, 1 am glad to say
is true-l mean the situation to earn
their own living; all must do it. And
there arc many who think, and l am
one of them, that in the long run it
will be all the better for the rising
generation of the South-a genera
ton which is to follow ono notorious
ly brought up in ignorance of work
and Incidence as to any useful occu-
patton. The race Of men growing up
will be more muscular-the woman
stronger and hcartier-and their chill
dreli again improve upon the stock.
I have never heard that exercise was
hurtful, and I have consulted good
physicians on the subject.
How often do VIC hear our people
complain that they have been out
all day hunting for a, servant, with
out success. Had they turned to in
