ing His health being too delicate to bear much
of the fatigues and exposures consequent on gen.
eral practice he has adopted a speciality in the
profession.
Soon after commencing practice, some twenty
years since, he was attracted by the almost uni
versatility of female complaints, DO tn in the mar
red and single state. Partly from natural incli-
nation and in order to obtain in practice,
these complaints were made the subject of incess-
ant study. These alterations, displacements and
deranged functions of the organs peculiar to the
female are owing to that refined sense of delicacy
on the part of the female who, ignorant of the
consequences prefers TO suffer in silence rather
than expose her situation. Seldom cured by the
general practitioner, who is prevented by this
delicacy from acquiring by experience that tact
and skill necessary to discriminate the exact
change present, and contents himself with pre-
scribing for the deranged functions or overlooking
the cause, simply for attendant nervous disorders

males bears ample testimony. Believing that he

Tiie Great UmpumpabIe.

A correspondent tells the following
about Gen. Grant: I heard a story
Of Gen. Grant the other day, which
shows how wholly "unpumpable" he
is. When he and Seward were trav-
cling about the country with President
johnson, a great effort was made to
induce Ulysses to express himself On
political subjects. Seward and sever
al other shrewd fellows piled Grant
with wine when he was here, hoping
that it might loosen the Generals
tongue. He had drank a number of
glasses one evening; and deeming the
occasion and hUur favorable, Seward
remarked:
"Well, General, what do you think
of Ben. Butler 2'' believing that, as
U. S. Grant Hated Butler, he would be
explicit on the subject. Grant seemed
rejecting for a few seconds, and then
remarked very deliberately: "Ben.
Butler? Well, I don't believe in him
much" Stewards eyes twinkled; he
had drawn out the hero at last. "Ill
bet my pile that Dexter can beat him
any day"
A loud laugh greeted the discOmft-
ed Seward, who is reported to have
said afterward that Grant might make
d very good horse jockey, but he was
not worth d-n for President.

nicia Boys the oldest pupil in tine
Primary Military School (I think ii
must be a military schOol) of which
Johnny is a recent member. This
Barnabee, having whipped every one
of his companions, was signing. for new
boys to conquer, when Johnny Joined
the Institution. He at once made
friendly Overtures of battle to John
ny, who, oddly enough, seemed in
disposed to encourage his advances
Then Barnabee began a series Of pet
ty prosecutions, which he continued
up to the day of the fight ..,
On the morning of the eventful day,
the Barnabee boy appeared in the
schOOl-yard with a small go cart. AT
ter running down on Johnny several
times, with this useful vehicle, he
captured JOhnny's cap, filled it with
sand, and dragged it up and down the
yard triumphantly in the gO-cart.-
This made the General very angry,
Of course, and he took an early OppOr-
tGhity of kicking over the triumphal
cart, in doing which, he kicked one OF
the wheels so far into space that it
has not been seen since.
This brought matters toA crisis
The battle Would have taken place
then and there; but at that moment
the school bell rang. and the gladia-
tors were obliged to give their at
tention to STiith's Speller. But a
gloom hthg over the morning exer-
cises-a gloom that was not dispelled
in the back rOY, when the BarHabee
Boy stealthjly held up t. johnny > Wis :

''She is a Working GirI.''

''She is a Working GirI.''
We have frequently heard the
above remark, and it always excites
in our minds a sentiment of ineffable
contempt for the worthless piece of
that uttered it. 1t is a
source of deep regret to us that it
may ever be our duty to deal harshIy
with any of the fair sex who maintain
a reputable standing in society; bit
there are some, and not a few either,
who, though their fame be uuspotted,
are so deeply imbUPd with envy, jeal-
Ousy, Hatred toward their sex, WHO
happen to be less favored by fortune,
l5ut more perfectly moulded and fin
ished by nature than themselves, that
their hearts are gall, their souls are
wOrmwOOd, their breath is pestiience;
whenever they can make it convent
ent to speak to them.
These are they, who with sarcastic
leer, and scornful turn of the hose,
Istigmatize as "nothing but working
girls" such young females as have
the moral courage and virtue to work
with their hands for an honest live
lihoOd, rather than be dependent, des-
titUte or disreputable.
1t is sometimes OpprObiOuslyapplied
to married ladies'. after the following
manner, "Did you ever see the like,
how MIS- dresses herselfand chill
dren Oflate ?'-I knew her when she
was working girl, and her husband
a poor mechanic, and when he worked
for my father Now they have got a
little something in the world and they
stick themselves up as mighty as some
bodies. 1t is just always so with such
creatures. AS they get a little start in
the world they forget the poverty
they sprang from, and then begin to
put on airs Ofgentility. 1 can't bear
them fOrimy partF'
Reader, you are a young man,
and should hear anything like the
above sentiment uttered by young
lady to whom you are paying your
addresses, let that be your last visit.
Even if you are under promise of
marriage it would be better to break
off and incur the penalty of breach of
promise, than to be united to one so
utterly devoid of kind-hearted sympa
thy for those Of her sex thus virtuOusly
struggling with adversely; and who
holds it is disreputable in a young
lady without a fortune or able friend
to draw upon, who relies on her own
physical faculties for support, in an
honest and useful vocation.

Going to
Lick y6d
at reces

johnny got it 'put down in writ
in this time!
After a ha5ty glance at the slate,
the General went on with his studies
cOmposedly enough. Eleven o'clock
came, and with it came recess, and
with recess the inevitab le battle.
Now do not intend to describe
the details of this brilliant action, for
the sufhcientreasOnt that, though there
were seven young gentlemen connect
ed with the Primary SchOOD on the
field as war correspondents, their ac-
counts of the engagement are so con-
Trajectory as to be utterly worthless.
On one point they will agree-that
the contest was sharp, short and de-
cisive. The truth is, the General is a
'quick, wiry, experienced old hero; and
it didn't take him long to rOut the
Barnabe6 Boy, who was in reality a
coward; as all bullies and tyrants ever
have been, and always will be.
/ I don't approve of boys fighting !;
I dOh't defend Johnny but if the
General wants an extra ration or two
Of preserved pear, he shall have it
am well aware that socially speak
ing, Johnny is Black Sheep. I know
that I have brought him up badly,
and tha,theTe is not an unmarried man
or WOinan in the United States that
wouldn't have brought him up very
differently. lisa great pity that the
OnlyPeOple who know how to man.
age children never have any. At the
same time, Johnny is not a black
Sheep all over. He has some White
spots. His sins-if wiser folks had
no greater ARE the result of too
much animal life. They belong to
his eYanescent youth; and will ia S
a way; but his honesty, bis generosity,
his bravery, belong to his character,
and are enduring qualities. The
quickly crOwding years will tame
him. A good large pane Of glass, or
a sedhctive bell-knOb, ceases in time
to have attractions for the most rcck-
less spirit. And l am quite confident
that Johnny will be a great statesman,
or a valOrbts soldier, or at al events,
4 good citizen, after he has got over
being a Young Desperate.

DO-NOlIning Young Ladies'.


At recent social gathering, a young
lady informed me that she never sewed
What do you suppose was tha nature Of
my reflections on hea ing the Ceclaratian ?
I said to myself, either that girl speaks
falsely, or she is very lazy. Never sews.?
Who then, inquired, made y ur dresses
and clOaks, your skirts and bows Who
repairs the rip in your pretty gaiter boots,
and darns the holes in your stOckingsR4 Is
it your aged mother, or your more indus
triOus sister? Or do you hire all your seW7
ing done? Should this last suppOsitiOn
be the case, may you never mtrry and
the Gfant aS are you never will. MOI one
yOuaG man in a hundred can afford to
MARRY a " oman who habitually neglects
household duties. Young man, if it

man declare that she never sews, beware

your wife, and before the honeymoon is
over, the horrors OF. buttonless shirts and
hose full of holes will be upon you ;; your
fair lady's sewing will be done by others,
while she mOpes III idleness, or riots in
fashionable dissipation. Then you may
bid farewell to all your dreams of dOmes-
tic felicity; they would fade as summer
dOwers at the touch of frost. I have heard
ladies, educated and intelligent ladies, de-
clare with actual pride, their ignorance OF
the art of cooking. They could not make
a cup of coffee to save their lives, and as
to making a loaf of good bread, or cook
ing simple dinner. that was out Of their
power. Poor, miserable unfortUnates -
Doubtless mothers are much to blame for
thus neglecting the education of ,theiE
daughters; but surely there is no sensible
girl who could not, by the exercise Of a
little energy, perfect herself in the most
useful branch of domestic knowledge
False pride in every case. is The only baT=
