Nellie's brown eyes dilated with

The New Bonnet.

After Gov. Gilmsr, Of Georgia, re-
tired from ONCE, he went 10 his old
house in Lexington. He had . pen
chant for old iron, such a. plou -oAares,
old carriage irons, grindstons orsnks,
old shovels, aud the odds aud euds Of
plantation tools. Attending the sales
Of estates, he accumulated an OF cart
load or two Of such stuG, whieh hs
dumped down in q corner Of his yard
near his dwelling, very much to the
annoyance Of his wife. The pile kept
increasing. She determined to make
way with IL, and one day, (sherifFs .

with the knowledge Of the sheriff
who loved . JOKE to be sold to the
highest bidder. Gov, Gilmer that
morning rode out Of town . mils or
two, and was returning as the sheriff
was proceeding with his sales. Catch.
ing the eye Of the Governor, who
was looking on, he pointed out to him
the lot Of old iron, aud requested him
to make bid for them.
"Good, hEaid Gov. Qiluer, "I will;
| have some pieces At home that they
will match exactly. ! bid ten dollars
for them"
"Ten dollarsi ten dollars who says
eleven?'' cried the sheriH---nobody
bids more---"they are yours, Cover

Delighted with his purchase, he
paid ten dollars, and left them in the
yard for future moveman.. The sher.
if paid the ten dollars to Mrs. Gill

handsome bonnet, and the Governor,
admiring It, said

Physiological Ignorance Of Wo-
man.

DR.. G. s. Lozier, Of New York, one
of the most eminent female physi-
clans in tho country, aud President Of
the New York Female Medical COL
lege, attributes to this cause the prev.
aleut ill.health of American women.
In a recent number of the Revolu.
ton, he says: 81 see no eHsctual
remedy for the evil but free discus.
sion on the subject among women.
There is among them a deplorable
ignorance of every law of their be.
ing. A young lady, last week, faint.
cd on the floor of her dancing sehcccl.
A patient Of mine being present, as
sisted to loosen her clothing, and
tells me she found next her body,
around her waist, = steel belt or
girdle made TO compress her form.
Another lady told me, a few days
since, that her family doctor advised
her to dress her young daughter as
tightly around her waist as she could
possible draw her corset, to cure
palpitation Of the heart. The fool.
ish ma.aer believed aud obeyed, and
shortly buried her daughter. l know
OF Many facts Of a similar nature
coming to me in my daily practice.
which professional etiquette forbids
me to publish. / sm convinced that
three-fourths Of our Christian women
are suicides, aud physically more to
be pitied than the small-footed
Chinese or the fat headed Indians.
Physicians, as class, discourage
rather than promote a knowledge of
the laws Of health--physiology among
women. Women need teachers aud
physicians OF their own sex to show
their own organisations. Male doc
tors will not do il. Said celebrat.
ed physician to a lady patient for
whom he was prescribing, 10 reply to
a very important question:; 81
am the doctor you the patient; you
pay me to cure you, not to instruct
you" We must have physiological
light for women as we'll as justice at
law, the ballot, and equal representa-
ton"

BOils-A Boys Composition. ]"

A boil is generally very small at frst
and fellow hardly notices il, but 10
few days Il gets to be the biggssl
Of the two, aud the chap that has il
Is Of very little account in comparison
to his boil, which then "has him.
Boiles appear mysteriously upon vari.
GUS portions Of the human body com
ing when aud where "they darn
please" and often in very inconvsnient
places. Sometimes a solitary boil is
the sum total Of the afflietion, butfre.
quently there is rubbishing' lot Of
EN-" 90 hoip the first one. Ifa boil
comes anywhere on person. that
person always wishes that it had come
somewhere else, although IL would
puzzle him to say just where.
Some persons call them "Damboils, :"
but such persons are addicted to pro.
fauity-the proper name is boil. If
a chap has q boil ko gonnerally gets
good deal Of sympathy from others
Tin horn" Whoever asks him
what ails him laughs at him for his
pains to answer, while many unfeel-
ing persona make game Of him, or Of
his misfortune or boil. 1t is very
wicked to make sport of a person with
boils; they cannot help it, and often
feel very badly sboutit; Physicians
don't give boil patients much salts

young physicians who are just begin
ming to practice are fond Of trying
their lancets on them. NJ,
Boils are said to bo healthy"
and judging from the way they take
hold, and hang on, aud burn, and ache,
and raise Cain generally, there is no
doubt they are healthy aud have good
constitutions. They are generally
very lively aud playful at nights, aud
1t is very funny to see a chap with
good large one prospecting around
his couch for place where his boil
will fit in without hurting" Boils
tend to "purify the blood" strengthen
the system, calm the nerves, restrain
the profanity, tranquiliEe the appear
ance. They are good thing for
married uen who spend their even
ings away from home, as they give
them an opportunity to rest their
night keys, and get acquainted with
their families.
1t is said that boils save the pa
tient ga fit Of sickness, but il the
sickness is not the best TO have, il
must be an all.fred mean thing. II
is also said that person is better
after he has had them, and there is
no doubt that one feels much better
after having got rid of them. Many
distinguished persons have enjoyed
these harbingers Ofhealth. Job took
the first premium at the county fair
for having more achers under cult

There are a great many remedies
for boils, most Of them are we'll
