WOMAN's BEAUTY.

There is a great deal said about
our beauty. q great deal done to
make us beautiful. How? In spirit
Not at all. To be physically beau
tiful is our aim. For this we don
the costly bonnet, the dainty boot,
friz our hair, paint our faces. To
this end we devote our lives, sacri-
fee health, mind, heart and strength
From the cradle we are taught
that we must be beautiful. We are
shut up in the house, away from the
glad sunlight and pure air, to pro
tect our fair compilations dressed
in corsets and crinoline to improve
our forms; gathered and thinly hosed
in the dead of winter, that our feet
may be petite and attractive. Our
brothers run, laugh loud, whistle,
get tanned, wear stout boots and
warm clothes-but we don't-it
isn't ''ladylike." They grow strong
in the gymnasium or at the wood
pile, while we crochet. practice the
last song, behave with propriety,
and ''sometimes make cake" They
go to college, grow indie pendent, go
out into the world, make their mark,
while we who are attractive, get
married, and we. who are not. teach
school, make dresses, and fade out.
Some of US live in the country. In
that case, we milk cows, make but
ter and cheese, help send our broth
ers to school, learn how to cook,
and get husband.
Sometimes we are ambitious to
acquire strength of mind to study
and investigate for ourselves.
Twenty three of us requested ad
mittance to Wabash College, Ind,
but were refused because We were
women. At Oberlin they have a
''Gentleman's Course and LA
dies Curse" because we have moth
ing to do in life but get married,
while our brothers. you know, must
be lawyers, doctors, ministers, DC.
Two or three of us make speeches,
but our brothers and the church
members say that we unsex our
selves, that we are trying to he men,
that we are blasphem,ng God for
making us women.
The majority of men admire us
for our physical beauty alone, and
then wonder why we aim at nothing
else.
know a young lady, living in the
vicinity of a College, who has not a
single beau, because the young men
twill not go with the ugliest girl in
town" Many an intelligent man,
utterly ignoring a priceless soul, hid
by homely exterior, has uncon-
sciously welded virago, because
the adorning was pink and white.

A Travellers Story.

Between Caleba Swamp and Line
Creek, in the Nation" Georgia. J,
we saw a considerable crowd gath
cred near drinking house, most of
them seated and smoking. We stop
ped to see what was the matter. It
was Sunday, and there had been a
quarter race for gallon Of whisky.
The first thing 1 noticed on alight-
ing was the singular position of one
of the horses of the party. He was
kneeling down and standing on his
hinder feet, his head wedged in be-
tween the ends of two logs Of the
grocery, and he was stone dead, hav-
ing evidently run directly against
the building at full speed, causing
the house to partially fall. About
five PAGES from the horse lay the
rider, quite senseless, with a cash in
his throat Which might have let out
a thousand lives AS 1 said, most
of the crowd were seated and smo-
king. .f.-' a1s-a
sWhat is all this I inquired.
s'What is the matter here p
s'Matterp' after awhile answered
one in a drawing voice, giving a
good spit, and refilling his mouth
with a new cud. ''Matter enough
there's been a quarter race: -
But how came this man and
horse killed p asked.
"Well," answered the chewing and
splitting gentleman, ''the man was
considerable in liquor, reckon, and
he ran his hoss chuk against the
house aud that's tie whole on it."
"Has a doctor been sent for p
inquired one of our party.
II reckon there amt muck use OF
doctors here" replied another oil
the crowd. "Burnt brandy would
not save either of EN-, man or boss. %
HAS this man wife or chill
dren p inquired l.
mo children that I knows on"
answered a female who was sitting
on the ground short distance from
the dead man, smoking composedly.
'sHe has q wife, then % remark
ed. "What will be her feelings
when she learns the fatal termina-
ton of this most unfortunate race p
"Yes," sighed the female, cit was
an unfortunate race. Poor man he
lost the whisky"

When you see a young lady SO
very delicate that she can't make
her own bed, or put couple of
plates upon the table, and yet trots
all over town daily, with the speed of
a race horse, to tumble nonsense
with the Softpates, and Shippers,
and Jenkinses, and Duzenberries,
just chalk it down she's a piece of
goods you can't invest single pen
ny or pulsation in. A girl who
hasn't the muscle to lift three feath-
ers and pillow-ease, but can tire
locomotive and whole omnibus
line out of breath, is an institution
that, like prussic acid and garrulous
old maids, is to be kept clear of.
Young men will please to button up
the fact in their memory.-Port

fecting with feelings of untold sat

that great company has made to the

feelings will be mingled others of
unmitigated delight that those con-
tributions will be no longer neces-
sary. ....-

fathers plodding their weary way
from the solitary board to the
counting-room, without sympathy,
early and late, because their wives
and daughters will have the admira

demands.
We love admiration; we seek it,
court it; dress three times day,

we take the summer trip, that we
may be the "most elegantly dressed

so frail and delecate that we must
be cared for, and protected, and, Of
course we never marry unless a for

greater beauty the greater the prize,

protect ourselves. for various rea
sons. First, we are weak. Secondly,
we know nothing but to please ana
to be admired Thirdly we treat
all men alike. Fourthly, it degrades
us to entertain the slightest suspi
cion of evil. One of us started from
St. Louis alone, few months since ;
she was bewildered by different
trains, and inquired which she
would take for Indianapolis; she
was told. and entered the car desig

The Peace Party in War.

During the late civil war the
Democratic party howled loudly
for peace. 1t was charged by Re-
publicans that the Democratic
party did not want the South de-
feated and that the whole course of
the Democratic party was encour-
aging to the rebels Of the South.
How fully this charge is justified is
shown by Mr.. Pollard in his forth
coming 'Life of Jefferson Davis
with Secret History Of the Con
federacy." In speaking of the bril-
liant prospects of the Confederacy
in 1864 Mr.. Pollard says - .
"The question of peace already
trembled on the balance in the
North, and the number of rumors
concerning it show how busily en-
ployed was the public mind with
the prospect of an early termination
of the war, and how eager it was to
anticipate it. So equally had par
ties come to be divided in the
North, when the Chicago Conven-
ton nominated Mcclellan for Presi-
dent, that the entire Democratic
party was bold enough to declare,
in the most deliberate manner, that
the war was a s'failure" Scarcely
any Northern man of any political
persuation, outside of fanaticism,
doubted that if Johnston defeated
Sherman, or that if he even held his
own-in short, that if the South ac-
complished mere negative results, in
holding Richmond and Atlanta
the peace party which was at this
time the whole Democratic party
would come into power, turn the
war into a Convention of States
and decide there the claims of the
South, which, it was forgone con
clusion, and a logical necessity
could not be less than independence
Mr.. Davis could not fail to perceive
the significance of the Chicago Con
vention, and was certainly intelli
gent enough to understand the con
dition of parties in the North. HI
had private correspondents in tina
Convention. The letters and docu
) ments he received from them wer,
/ so numerous that they were kept il
) a special, private archive, entitlet

pondence These condolences wer
kept from Congress, and even iron
2 his Cabinet; few persons in Rich
: mond ever knew of the existence o
: such a bureau; no curiosity seeke
was ever admitted to it's papers; ant
so anxious was Mr.. Davis to concea
them that it is curious fact that
some days before the surrender o
i Richmond, he had them conveye'
t to secret place, where they are ye
! supposed to be safely deposited. L

H-A clock which has just been
completed for the Cathedral Of
Beauvals contains 10000 wheels,
and indicates, among many other
things, the days of the week, the
month, the year, the signs of the
zodiac, the equation of time, the
course of the planets, the phases of
the moon, ard the time at every
capital III the world, the movable
feasts fer one hundred years, the
saints days DE. Perhaps the. most
curious part of the. mechanism is
that which gives the additional day
IN leap year, and which,T conse-
quently is called into action only
once in four years. The clock is
wound up every eight days. The

and the total cost exceeds $40, 900.

~The New York Sun is quoted
as saying that "before starting on
his present tour, Secretary Seward
stated, very explicitly, that within a
year there would be a breakup Of
President Grants administration,
which he pronounced the weakest
administration the country has ever
had" It will be remembered that
the same oracle predicted the col
lapse of the rebellion within ninety
days, soon after it's commencement.
If the predicted breakup holds off
as long as the ninety days fulfill
ment, there is no fear of any imme-
diate danger.

To CLEAR A Room OF MOSQUITOES.
"A writer says: II have tried the
following, and find it works like a
charm: Take gum of camphor a
piece about one third the size of an
egg, and evaporate it by placing it
in tin vessel, holding it over a
lamp or candle, taking care that it
does not ignite. The smoke will
soon fill the room and expel the
mosquitoes. One night I was ter
ribly annoyed by them, when 1
thought of and tried the above,
after which l never saw nor heard
them that night, and next morning
there was not one to be found in the
room, though the window had been
open all night"
