The True Woman.

The True Woman.
Who shall linn for us the picture of
true, good woman-the pride and the par
agon OF her sex, and the admiration of the
other OF the woman, young, beautiful,
healthtul-well informed, and not pedan-
tic who can talk well, and dress well
who is neither flirt nor prude who knows
neither too much nor too little whose lips
are Innocent of slang whose heart is pure
from evil thought f; who is polished in
manners, and affectionate in disposition !;
beloved of the old, the darling of the
young shy, modest, retiring; and COM
mand all the worlds homage; without
demanding the homage of anybody?
1t must not be considered that the youth
iulness of such woman is absolutely nec-
essary to her oveliness-Youth is a great
blessing and great charm but age is also
blesslng-do we not all wish to grow
old ?-and great adornment if it be COM
bined with goodness. The beauty of the
mind grows with the revolving years, aud
makes woman of seventy, with mind and
manners and innate gentleness, more beau
tliul than sweet seventeen can be. if the
mind and manners are wanting, and the
tenderness that should be in every woman.
Iy heart is displaced by masculine tone
of thought, behavior, or conversation.
Though all women are not such as every
man, at the poetical period of life, has
pictured in his Imagination, there are
thousands in every country who resemble
the ideal, If not in accomplishments and
educaton-for these arc not within the
reach of every one-yet by outward grace
of person and inward purity of soul, all
the fowers that bloom in the fair garden
of humanity are not of human delicacy and
brllliancy ; for nature, which has room for
the magnolia and the Hlv, has room also
for the violet the blue-bell and the daisy,
and loves her hum mblest children as well as
her proudcst.
Nothing in the world-at least to the
male eye-equals in pleasantness the face
and form of a bashful and virtuous woman,
| looking up to man for support and
guidance, and giving him her true affec-
ton in return. Nothing, on the other
hand, is more disagreeable than the cold
viraro. woman in form, but not in spirit,
who would storm the citade, of your
politeness to extort your homage, and who
by every movement of her features and
glance OF her eyes, even if she do not utter
syllable, betrays that she is putfed up
with conceit and selfshness, and is too
ignorant to distinguish between a churl
and gentleman, or to accept the place
which properly belongs to her in the social
system.

ThE Most CORRUPT PARTY THAT EVER
ExIsTED.-Donn Piatt, one of the leading
and most active Republican politicians of
Southern Ohio, in writing of the attempt
to impeach the President says the unpleas-
ant fact is developed, "that not Andrew
johnson, but the Republican party has
been on trial, and the sentence is a SEN
tence of death?" Piatt says:
We could have survived a blundcr great
as this is, had it come alone, but it is the
conclu ding act of a long series. Through
the unsettled condition of country suffer
ing from civil war, we have developed
more rascality than any organization ever
called into existence. We have filled the
| offices with thieves and their pockets with
stcalings. We have organized rings that
in turn create office holders and control
the Government. Men go in poor and
come out millionaires. For one dollar
paid to the Government from hard earned
taxes, hundreds stick to the dirty fingers
of official scaundrels. We have whisky
rings, Indian Bureau rings, manufacturers
National Bank rings, railroad rings, land
jobbing rings, and internal improvement
rings. From the lowest official, up to
Senators and Cabinet officers, the taint of
corruption runs until the people dazed and
confused, confound the right and listen
with indifference to the threats of ex-
posure."
Here is photograph Of the Radical par
ty by good artist.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton an old time
abolitionist, moralizing on the record Of
the Republican party, the consequences of
its infdelity to the Constitution and the
old landmarks of Republican government,
and the evils it mas entailed upon the
country, thus forcibly sums up the situa-
ton:
And now the handwriting on the wall
warns them that they are weighed in the
balance and found wanting" The Re-
publican party stands to day with its
ranks broken, divided, distracted, blasted,
and the scepter of power has passed from
it forever. But this is no cause Of sorrow
for the sooner this party is scattered to the
four winds of heaven, the sooner will the
scales fall from the eyes of the people, and
they will see that their leaders have been
but blind leaders of the blind.
But while we ended with the sword a

These are certainly curious charges
against the Government. 1t has not been
generally known before that "Unclc Sam"
bought snuff for the use of the members,
and that he invested in street-railroad car
passages for their benefit! He is liberal
also in furnishing them kid gloves, doing
his best to present them outwardly as gen.
tlemen. This, we presume, in Radical
parlance, all comes in legitimately under
the head of stationery" together with a
full list of pocket knives, combs, perfum-
cries, &c. These ''littlc fxings," together
with the 5000 year, the mileage, and,
more than all, the stealings, make the
Office of Congressman only inferior to an
army contract.--Er.

Plant Fruit Trees.

The following extract from letter writ
ten to the Memphis Ledger win be inter-
esting to our readers:
No man having an acre OF land should
be without fne trees. fine berries, fue
vines and fine flowers. Two pear trees in
the garden of Mrs. A. o. Harris, near the
city, yielded $50 worth Of fruit the past
season. They were DucAesse a. Anguoleme
A single fig bush also yielded $50 worth
Of fruit near the same place; aud will not
tell the number Of dollars taken from thir-
teen or fourteen Concord grape vines by
Mr.. Cummings Johnson. nor the quaint
ties of awberries sold by him from YER
small area. From what have said a
bove,ssit viii be seen that very few trees
or vines may become a source of profit and
comfort, provided there are rarieties suited
10 the particular locality. 1t is the business
OF our local nurserymen to ascertain the
best and it is the Office of the agricultural
press to make such facts known. hence l
would urge all persons who feel disposed
to plant 10 inform themselves thoroughly
before beginning take an agricultural pa
per, read the advertisements, procure cata-
loguess snd study upon the subject before
investing. We have several local nurser-
les. Some do not advertise, and some do,
but in q meagre, acrimonious manner
Notone man in ten is aware that we have a
nursery in Shelby county, which is all
= wrong. No business requires advertising
as much as the nursery business, and none
will pay better EetHrn for money Sc
