not assert anything that would do injustice to the at
ficted, but am obliged to say that although it may
be produced from excessive exhaustion of the powers
fife, by laborious employment, unwholesome air
and food, profusc menstruation the use OF tea and
coffee, and frequent childbirth it is far oftener caus-
ed by direct irritation, applied the mucous mem
brane of the vagina itself.
When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints, it is most painful to contemplate the at.
attendant evils consequent upon them 1t is but sim
pie Justice to the subject to enumerate few OF the
many additional which so largely affect the
lite, health, and happiness OF woman in all classes
society, and which, consequently affect more or less
directly, the welfare OF the entire human family The
mania that exists for precocious education and mar
riage causes the years that nature designated for
corporeal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints ofdress, the early confinement oi
school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement
of the ball room. Thus. with the body half clothed
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure, pervertng
in midnight revel the hours designed by nature for
sleep and rest the work of tructon is half accom-
| plished s
In consequence OF this early strain upon her sys-
TEN, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate
votary to retain her situation in school at later day
thus aggravating the evil. When one excitement is
over, another in prospective keeps the mind morbid
ly sensitive to impression, while the now constant
restraint of fashionable Dress absolutely forbiddng
the exercise indispensable to the attainment and
tention health and strength; the exposure
to night air. the sudden change of temperature; the
complete prostration produced by excessive dancing
must of necessity, produce their legitimate effect Al
least an early marriage caps the climax OF misery
and the unfortunate one, hitherto utterly regard
lees of the plain dictates and remonsrances of he1
delicate nature, becomes unwilling subject Of
medical treatment. This is but truthful picture o
the experience of thousands of our young women.
Long before the ability to exercise the functions
the generative organs, they require an education o
their peculiar nervous system, com posed OF what i
called the tissue which is, in common with the fe
male breast and lips, evidently under the control
mental emotions and associations at an early perio
of life; and shall subsequently see these emo
tons, when excessive, lead, long before puberty,
habits which sap the very life OF their victims er

standing the unusually abundant crops of c.

ped Stocks of grain at present are accumulat-
ing at the lake ports, the dealers protesting a
purpose to carry their load until the East is
prepared to take it at much higher prices. On
the Goth instant there was l,51S, 400 bushels
of wheat in store at Chicago, against T54, 100
bushels at the same period Of 1867; and at
Milwaukee CTS, 900 bushels this year, against

afoat on the New I ork canals only 1854, 900
bushels Of all grains, against 1852 900 bushels
in lS67-which clearly shows the disposition of
reason for this is, doubtless, the considerable
decline in the price of wheat and other grains
in the past six or eight weeks; but that it is
better for the grain to come forward while yet
water carriage can be availed OF, there is little
doubt When, after the close OF navigation
only the railroads can be used, freights must be
high, much higher than at present, and but a
limited quantity can be then got forward to
avail of better prices, if they should then pre-
vail. The railroads themselves are not doing
