EXERCISE FOR GIRLs.-Exercise is, no more
than food, a thing to be taken and pTofited by
u ct armis. The child who should be compelled
every day to swallow a breakfast and dinner
composed of objects disgusting to it would never
be expected by any sane person to thrive thereon.
But it is often assumed that the same girl will
obtain all the benefit of exercise i: obliged to
walk solemnly up and down a terrace for so
many hours, to use the dumb-bells and per-
form calisthenic exercises in her dull school
room. Real exercise, especially in youth, must
be joyous exercise spontaneously taken, not as
medicine, but with the eagerness of natural
appetite. Romping games in childhood-puss
in the corner, blindman's buff, and all the de-
lightful variations of prisoners base, French
ard English, pettis pacquets, and batte-dor--
and all with screaming permitted ad H6itum, are
for indoors. Out of doors come hunt the hare,
and hide and seek, and hoop, and ball, and
cricket, and kite flying, and above all, that
blessed thing, "paying in the hay" Are these
all /" dreadfully unladylike," and calculated for
the production of tomboys? Never believe a
word of it. The most big gh-bred women have
been the most free and joyous of children.
Then come a little later, or almos: as soon, the
two great exercises of ladies, whereby more
health and vigor can be gained by ladies than in
any other way, namely, gardening and riding
Oh fathers of daughters who will by and by
ask you TO spend thousands in paying their mil
liners bills, taking them to fashionable resorts,
and giving them rich settlements, will not spare
a few tens or hundreds to give them the scrap
of garden or the rough pony which will secure
for them health and bloom and years OF strength
and life which all the thousands cannot buy
few years hence? OF all the penny-wise pound
foolish politics in the world is that which
grudges the girl of fourteen her pony or her
half rood of ground, and lavishes on her, four
years afterward, silks and jewels and all the
costly appurtences Of fashionable life. How is
it that Harriet Hosmcr has become the woman
of whom America is so proud, England, so fond?
Because her father taught her to ride and shoot
before Gibson taught her to model " Sleeping
Fawns;" because she possesses physical
strength, energy and joyous animal spirits, such
as win every prize and charm every heart

The Palm and the Pine.

When Peter led the first Crusade,
A Norseman wooed an Arab maid.
He loved her 1.-THE and palmy grace,
And the dark beauty Of her face.
She loved his cheeks, 30 ruddy fair,
His sunny eyes and yellow hair.
He called-she left her fathers tent;
She followed wheresoe'er he went.
She left the palms of Palestine
To sit beneath the Norland pine.
She sang the musky Orient strains
Where winter swept the snowy plains.
Their nature met like night and morn
What time the morning-star is born.
The child that from their meeting grew
Hung like a star, between the two.
The glossy night his mother shed,
From her long hair was on his head;
But in its shade they saw arise
The mcrning of his fathers eyes.
Beneath the Orient's tawny stain
Wandered the Norsenlans crimson vein:
Beneath the Northern force was seen
The Arab sense, alert and keen.
His were the Vikings sinewy hands.
The arching foot of Eastern lands.
And in his soul conflicting strove
Northern Indifference, Southern love;
The chastity Of temperate blood,
Impetuous passions fiery food;
The settled faith that nothing shakes,
The jealousy q breath awakes;
The planning reasons sober gaze
And fancy's meteoric blaze.
And stronger, as he grew to man,
The cOntradicting natures ran
As mingled streams from Etna flow,
One born Of fire and one Of snow.
And one impelled and one withheld.
And one obeyed and one rebeiled.
One gave him force, the other fire,
This selfcontrol, and that desire.
One filled his heart with fierce unrest;
With peace serene the other blessed.
lie knew the depth and knew the height,
The bounds Of darkness and Of light;
And who these far extremes have seen
Must needs know all that lies between.
So with untaught, instructive art,
He read the myriad-natured heart.
He met the men of many land;
They gave their souls into his hand;
And none of them was long unknown,
The hardest lesson was his own.
But how he lived, and where and when,
1t matters not to other men;
For, as a fountain disappears,
To gush again in later years.
So nature lost again may rise
After the lapse Of centuries
May track the hidden course Of blood
Through many generations flood.
Till on some unsuspected field,
The latent lineage is revealed.
The hearts that met in Palestine,
And mingled meath the Norland pine,
Still beat with double pulse in mine.

CHINESE GARDENING.-This, as we'll as the
other country residences which have seen In
China, is a taste quite different from the Euro
pean; for whereas we seek to exclude nature
by art, levelling hills, drying up lakes, telling
trees, bringing paths into straight line, con-
structipg fountains at great expense, and rais-
ing flowers in rows, the Chinese, on the con-
trary, by means Of art, endeavor to initiate ma
ture. Thus in these gardens there are laoy-
rinths of artificial hills, intersected with numer-
Gus paths and roads. some straight and others
undulating; some in the plain and the valley,
others carried over bridges, and to the summit
of the hills by means of rustic work OF stones
and shells. The lakes are interpersed with Is
lets upon which small pleasure houses are con-
structed, and which are reached by means OF
boats and bridges. To these houses, when IA
tlgued with fishing, the Emperor retires accom-
panied by his ladies. The wood contains hares,
deer and game in great numbers, and certain
animal resembling the deer, which produces
musk. Some of the open spaces are sown with
grain and vegetables, and are interspersed with
fruit trees and plots of flowers. Wherever a
convenient situation offers, lies house OF recre-
alton or dwelling for enuchs. There is also
seraRlio, with large open space in front, IN
which once q month fair is held for the enter
tainment of the ladies; all the dealers being
the enuchs themselves, who thus dispose of ar
ticles of the most valuable and exquisite des
cription.

A THREATENING EPocH.-If Napoleon
dies, any reader of history can see, that a
great crisis of the world will come. No
man, for the last twenty years, could com
pare with him as statesman and ruler
Lord Palmerston never exhibited his sa
gacity and political foresight more forci-
bly,, than in his friendship for Napoleon.
Working his way to imperial authority
through dungeon holds, military failures,
stnging SCOTS and fiery prosecutions, he
nevertheless succeeded in planting himself
firmly on the throne of Charemagne and
the Great Emperor. And since his first
occupancy of that dizzy place, the world
has recognized the grasp and royal infu-
ence of a master. He has made politics
and diplomacy game of chess. His bat
ties have been victories, his negotiations
have been models of strategy, and his
very books have challenged The criticism
and awakened the admiration of scholars
everywhere. The great Prlssian diplo-
mat could whip the Austrians with his
needle guns, but he could not defeat Ma
poleon with his needle brain. He has
been match for the intellect, the glitter
ing armories and the traditional hate of
tie whole world.
Who does not feel an interest in this
man, and who does not shudder when IT,

The French have no greatness in them
selves. They are scientific, efervescent,
spasmodic and reckless. They have vol
canic fires under their political and social

vous government of Napoleon, while for

son, they would manifest the greatest con-

The Charleston of To-Day.

John NJ. Francis, editor Of the Troy
Times, writes to his paper from Charleston
South Carolina. The following is an ex-
tract from his letter:
"Charles on bears an ancient appearance
and for that matter it IS old, for it was
founded two hundred years ago. 1t has
been dreadfully devastated by fires
Large sections of the city, it will be re-
membercd, were burned over at an early
period of the war; There has been very
little rebuilding The crumbling walls
and blackened ruins still remain as evi-
dences of the great fire. Few buildings
comparatively were destroyed by Gilmore's
Smelling from the Swamp angel battery"
bvt many were more or less injured, and
you can now see on every hand where
Yankee iron left it's marks. Charleston
is gradually improving, however, it's bust
ness men are slowly getting upon their
feet again., and trade is increasing. But
it will take years, many years, to bring
back the old prosperity to the city. The
place has passed an ordeal of fire and
sword that came near destroying it alto
gether; but battIe-scarred and exhausted
of capital and energy as she has been,
many of the best citizens who were the
heaviest sufferers are at work with all
their abilities, and in spirit Of the most
commendable enterprise, to reconstruct
their own fortunes and restore CONNER
cial prosperity to their city. Even now
there is good deal Of business done in
Charleston, and more will come as the
people acquire capital to rebuild the waste
places, and as the South gains wealth and
patronage. Real estate is at very low
figure.-We were shown fine building
occupied by the First National Bank,
which with the site cost $4,000 in gold
before the war. 1t was purchased by the
Bank corporation about year ago for
81 900. We are assured that real estate
generallp can be bought for one-third to
one-quarter what it would readily bring
eight years ago, and it is now held at con-
siderably higher rates than it was year
ago. But the incubus upon the city is it's
F.! large debt, amounting to no less than So
100000 1t holds railroad stocks for a
portion OF its Indebtedness, but we believe
they yield very little or no revenue Think
of such load upon the Taxpayers of a
city whose entire population, both black
and white, is probably not ten thousand
larger than that of Troy. Yet it could
easily have been carried by Charleston as
it was, and still it may be borne if return
ing prosperity comes as is anticipated by
its sanguine business men.-Now, how
ever, 1t IS d very heavy burden-probabiy
more oppressive than ten millions would
be to Troy. The business men say, how
ever, Give us one large cotton crop, with
anything like the present ruling prices,
and Charleston will no more be discred-
tied; she will snap her finger at the debt,
and it will not in the least impede our
prosperity Speaking of cotton, the
whole South is praying for good crop
and continued high prices, declaring that
this will not not only put them upon their
feet again, but place them in position
where they will be enabled to walk right
along in prosperity

ant that there was sufficient sup
ply for the market. To my great
satisfaction, the plants were precise
ly the same as those [ had seen on
Mount Lebanon-short, stout, with
broad, grayish, velvety leaves, and
very compact panicles of pale yellow
flowers. The stem, which branches
very little, is thick and viscous, and
on a warm morning the plant exhales
a singular gummy odor, which l
have sometimes noticed at distance
of fifty yards. It natures so much
more speedily than the American to-
bacco, that in the southern part Of
New Jersey two crops have been
raised in one summer. 1t is yet to
be seen whether it's fine aroma is de-
Perforated by our climate but the
specific difference of the plant will
always give it distinct and peculiar
favor.
Something, also, no doubt, de-
ponds upon the mode of preparation.
In the East, [ believe, the leaves,
after being properly sweated and
dried, are STEPPED for a short time in
water before being cut for smoking,
in order to remove some pungent
quality which they possess. 1t is a
popularity Of this tobacco that, while
it is considered the finest in the world
when smoked in pipe, the cigars
manufactured from it have no special
excellence. The leaves of that which
[ have grown, though cured in the
simplest way, retain their Oriental
perfume and flavor to such an extent
that / think they would produce an
article not much inferior to the Sy-
rian, if properly prepared. [ have
not yet heard what results have been
obtained by others. All [ can affirm
is that the plant preserves a distinct
and agreeable quality; and that it is
perfectly adapted to our climate.
I'm our next weeks issue we shall have the
pleasure of giving Mr.. Taylor's experience
with a gigantic variety of South American
maize, and with the Caspian melons.-ED.l
