The Coming Girl.

She will vote, will be of some use in
the world, will cook her own food, will
earn her own living, and will not die an
old maid. The coming girl will not wear
the Grecian bend, dance the German, ig>
more all possibilities of knowing how to
work, will not endeavor to break the
hearts Of unsophisticated young men, will
spell correctly, understand English before
she affects French, will preside with equal
grace at the piano or washboard, will spin
more yarn for the house than for the street,
will not aespise her plainly clad mother,
her poor relations, or the hand of an
honest worker; will wear bonnet; speak
good, plain, unlisping English; will darn
her own stockings will know how to
make doughnu:s, and vii! not read the
Ledger oftcner than she does her Bible.
The coming girl will walk five miles a
day, if need be, to keep her cheeks in q
glow; will mind her health, her physical
develOpement and her mother, will adopt
a costume both sensible and conducive to
comfort and health will not confound
hypocrisy with politeness will not place
lying to please above fraBkness will have
| courage to cut an unwelcome acquaint-
ance; will not think refinement is French
duplicity; that assumed hospitality, where
hate dwells in the heart, is better than
condemnation ; will not confound grace of
government with silly affection will net
regard the end Of her being to have a
beau.
The coming girl will not look to Paris,
but to reason, for her fashions will not
aim to follow foolish fashion because
milliners and dress-makers decreed it,;
will not torture her body, shrvel her soul
with querilities, or ruin it with wine and
pleasure. In short, the coming girl will
seek to glorify her Maker and to enjoy
mentally His works. Duty will be her
aim and life living reality. Church

RIrLED SuoT.-IIenry Ward Beecher,
in sermon delivered in Plymouth Church
recently, produced the following picture
''Men seem ashamed of labor, and Of
ten you will find men who have made
themselves respected by labor, have built
up business and amassed fortune, who
turn to their sons and say: You shall
never do as l did /; you shall lead differ
ent life; you shall be spared all this.
Oh, these rich mems sons! They aim to
lead life Of emasculated idleness and
laziness. Like the polyp that floats use-
less and nasty upon the sea, all fla bby, no
muscle, no bones-it shuts and opens, and
opens and shuts, and sucks in and squirts
out again, of no earthly account, influence
or use. Such are these poor fools. Their
parents toiled and grew strong, built up
their frames of iron and bone; but deny
ing all this to their sons, they turn them
upon the world boneless, muscleless,
simply gristle, and soft ut that"

DEF Don't.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
writes thusly Of wedding tour to Coun-
Gil Bluffs
There was a funny little episode on the
car that helped to arouse US. At Monta-
ma young man and young woman came
on board of the sleeping car, and the
former said: "See here, Mr.. Conductor,
l want one of your best hunks for this
young woman and one for myself, indi-
vidually. One will do for u when we git
to the Bluffs, hey, Mariar? Ia playful and
affectionare poke at "Mariar'' with his
elbow, to which she replies, "Now, John,
quitr for you see we are goin' to get
married at Mariar's uncle's when we get
there. We might a bin married at Mon
fanny, but we took habit to wait till we
got to the Bluffs, as Mariar's uncle is
minister, and they charge gol' fred big
price for Kitchen felix's at Montanny."
Maria was ASST gned to one Of the best
hunks, and John was given one not far
away. After q time the inmates were all
slowed away in their berths, to 60 through
the inevitable alterations of sweltering
and freezing.
During the stoppage of the train at one
of the stations, the voice of John was
heard, in pleading accents, all unconscious
that the train had stopped, and that his
tones, which the noise Of the wheels had
drowned while the cars were in motion,
could be heard by all when they had
stopped
'Now, Mariar, you might give feller
jes' one kiss"
"John, you quit, or I'll git right out
here and hoof it back to Montanny in the
snow Storm
SONY one little kiss. Mariar and I'll go;
hope to die f don't"
"JOhn -"
just at that interesting moment gray
head protruded frsm q berth at the other
end of the car, and an old man cried out
so that all could hear: "Marier, for God s
sake give John one kiss, so that We can go
to sleep some time tonight"
1t is needless to remark that peal Of
laughter rang from one end Of the car to
the other, under cover of which John
skunk back to the solitary seclusion of his
"bunk," leaving Maria to the undisturbed
possession of her marriage license, which
she interpreted to permit no license to
John until accompanied by the proper
certificates. And Maria was right.

KEEP TO THE RIaHT,-If our citizens,

serve the custom of passing persons
coming towards them always on the
right much confusion and some i'll tenn

right" is the law of streets as we'll as

strictly. We see as many turning TO the
left or lodging between two or three,
as going to the right. 1t is believed by
some that gentlemen should pass ladies
on the outside Of the pavement, but this
is mistake. Always keep to the right,

MARKET STREET BIIDGE.-There was
quite lively time in the City Council
last night over the proposed new bridge
over Wheeling creek, on Market street,
and in the Second Branch all sorts of
tactics were brought to bear to prevent
the passage CT resolutions ordering the
special committee on the Bridge to
contract for the work, but all were use.
less. The friends of the measure stood
shoulder to shoulder and carried their
point. In the First Branch they were
not so successful, and the passage of a
motion to adjourn prevented the neces
sary concurrence. We judge the bridge
to be a foregone conclusion.

ENTERPRISE.
sPTvISs NINE.

The following plays of the Spivins
nine are worthy of notice:
McAfee's excellent playing on Sd base
elected praise from all sides; if he was
playing for money he would certainly
make-a-fee. Warden caught great many
fouls. Persons desiring spring chickens
should give him call. In the sixth
innings Taylor caught three flies in sue,
cession. An enterprising Yankee who
was witness of the game offered him
twenty-five dollars to sell his patent
fy.trsp in Ohio county. ...
Day was hurt in attempting to catch
a ground ball; some one remarked that
it was Day's-eye cutter.
Fisher very handsomely gobbled a
huckleberry in centre field.
Peterson snatched a fly bald-headed
in right field.
Kurt is an-ice pitcher and kept the
boys cool.
Brown muffed fly in his hat.
For the Enterprise the following
plays are worthy of notice:
Caldwell was captain, aud called
to his men, bat they failed to respond.
The short stop frizzled all the balls
that came near him.
Hildreth's pitching and Brady's catch
ing were excellent.
Baguley led the score in batting, but
failed to catch two flies.
Greer, Orr and Tolivar in their re-
spective positions were very entaprising.

| p.sr R,11-The Baltios. of Whsel

BAsr BALL.-The Battles, Of Wheel
ing. and Olympics of this city, played a
\ match game, or portion of @ game, al
Union Park, Allegheny, yesterday af.
ternoon. The game was called at short
Ijv before three o'clock, the 0lympics
taking the bat. On the first inning the
Battles succeeded in "whitewashingn
their opponents and scored one run.
On the second inning the Olympics
scored three runs, and the Battles
brought the game to q tie by
making two runs. The Olympics played
better on the third inning, and made
nine runs. The Battles had made five
runs on the same inning when q heavy
rain set in, and the umpire by mutual
contest called the game without finish
ing the inning, leaving man on second
base. The playing on both side was
most excellent, and the clubs are so
evenly matched that Ii would be difh-
cult to form an opinion as to the victors
had the nine innings been played. MT.
Earle, OF the Enterprise base ball club,
performed the duties of umpire to- the
satisfaction of all interested. The mem
bers of the Baltic nine by their gentle
manly demeanor made osts OF friends
during their short stay in our city, and
we regret that the weather interteIsd
with the game, as we would like to have
seen it played out.-Pittsburgh CONNER
cial.
The Battles returned yesterday on the
steamboat Argesy from their Pittsburgh
trip. They had gay old time, and
speak in the highest terms of their COM
petitors and entertainers, but seemed a
little blue over their i'll luck in hap
pening to strike the Iron City in such
rainy weather.
They were to have played the return
game on Saturday afternoon with the
Atlantics, at the Union Park, in ALLIE
gheny. The afternoon was q very un-
favorable one, but fair sized crowd
gathered to witness the match. The
rain interfering, only one inning was
played, which resulted in faver of the
Atlantics by score of A to whitewash
for our boys. Brosey's balls came rather
too Swlft LOT tnen.
After the conclusion of the Atlantic
game, our boys were waited on by a
from the Olympic B. B.
Club and persuaded to become their
guests and remain until Monday and
give them an opportunity to try their
skill.
The game was called at three o'clock
on Monday afternoon, but the rain
again interfered and only two complete
innings were played. The Battles
gained the field and succeeded in favor
ing the Pittsburghers with white
wash; then going to the bat scored two
runs amidst considerable applause. On
,hs second innings the Olympics made
\ score of three, and our boys increased
theirs by one tally. The rain interfer-
ng before the third innings was played,
The game was called; the score at the
end of the second innings standing,
Olympics, 8; Battles, 3.
We understand the Olympics will
visit our city, and play the "Blue
between the 1st and 10th of
August. They are nice set'of fellows
-"rattlers from the pines"-and deserve
\ good turn out.

Hoy Neland, thinking this is a free

but who prowls all round in the hot
days ofsummer, like a savage from Zea'

him with being a bunmer. The Judge
