An OverWorked Journalist.
THE CAUSE OF THE DEATH OF THE
Hon. HENRY J. RAYMOND.
A New York letter saws:

a new 1ork letter says:
the story of the sudden death
of Mr.. Raymond, Of the Times, is
but repetition of that told of the
quick ending of the lives of many
men, and not few Of note, in
this great city, during the past
few months. apparently in per-
feet health, he dropped dead.."-
Study the New York papers. from
day to day, and you will remark
the alarming frequency of this
sentence in their local columns.
Why is it that sudden deaths oc-
cur so often here? Is 1t because
life is so terribly earnest in New
York ? Perhaps so. Men who
are Sin the harness" here never.
rest. Men who keep even pace
with the world of New York
are forever working. Men like
Mr.. Raymond who lead New
York, journalists, who direct pub
lie opinion here, man the helm
and keep perpetual lookout for
breakers ahead, never take the
harness off. Their brains are
ever active. They are forever
driving; forever overtaxing their
energies.
AS ! stated in my dispatch, no
one of Mr.. Raymond's associates
for a moment dreamed that be
would die as he did; and wher
the news of his death came they
could not reconcile themselves to
it or understand it at all. But
now an explanation is given
Last winter when in Washington
on a brief visit, just before the in
auguration, I believe, he met with
a severe fall which injured him
about the head and shoulders so
much that he was obliged to keep
his bed for several days. The
physicians now say that in this
fall the sensitive veins connecting
with his brain were hurt much
more seriously than was thought
at the time. And their theory of
his death is this: That through
the constant working of his brain
since then these injured veins had
gradually become more and more
delicate, thinner and thinner, un-
til the quick rush of blood to his
head, when he leaned over to fix
the lower bolt on the door of his
house on that Thursday night,
burst them, and caused his sudden
death.

COUNTRY G1RLs.-Meta Victoris
Fuller, in a sisterly way, thus
talks to country girls:
"The farmers daughters are
soon to be the life as we'll as the
pride Of this country-a glorious
race Of women which no other
land can show. I seek not to
fatter them for before they can
become this, they will have to
make an earnest effort of one OF
two kinds. There are some who
deprecate their condition, and
some who have a false pride in it,
because they demand more consid-
Grafton than they merit. A want
of intelligence upon all the sub
jects Of the day and Of q refined Cd
ucation is no more excusable in a
country than in a town-bred girl,
in these days of many books and
newspapers.
"Many girls are discouraged be-
cause they can not be sent away
from home to boarding-scho hools ;
but men of superior minds and
knowledge Of the world, would
rather have for wives women we'll
and properly educated at home.
And the education can be had
whenever the desire is not want
ing. A taste for reading does
wonders; and an earnest thirst
after knowledge is almost certain
to attain sweet draught from
the 'Pierian spring. There is a
farmers daughter IN this very
room in which I am writings
beautiful, refined, and intelligent
woman-in whose girlhood books
were not 50 plenty as. now, and
who obtained her fine education
under difficulties which would
have discouraged any but one
who had true love for study"

Have Mercy on Women.

We have probably all Of US met
with circumstances in which a
word hecdlessiy spoken against
the reputation OF a female has been
magnifed by malicious minds un-
til the cloud has been dark
enough toovershadow her whole ex-
istence. 10 those who are accus' om-
ed, not necessarily from bad mo-
tives, but from thoughtlesness, to
speak lightly Of ladies, we recon-
mand these "hints as worthy Of
consideration.
Never use a lady's name in an
improper place, st an improper
time, or in mixed company.
Never make assertions about her
that you think untrue, or illusions
that she herself would blush to
hear. Whan you meet with men
who do not scruple to make use Of
lady's name in a reckless and
unprincipled manner, shun them,
for they are the very worst
members of the communicates
to every sense Of honor, every
feelings of humanity.
Many q good worthy woman's
character has been forever ruined
and heart-broken by lie manu-
featured by some william, and re-
peated where it should hot have
been, and in the presence Of those
whose little judgement could not
deter them from circulating the
foul braggart report. A slander
is soon propagated, and the smallest
thing derogatory to woman's
character will fly on the wings Of
the wind, and magnify as it cir
culates, till its moustrous weight
crushes the poor unconscious
victim. Respect the name Of wo-
man, for your mother and sisters
are women and as you would have
that fair name untarnished and
their lives unembittered by the
slanderer's tongue, heed the IL
that your own words may bring
upon the mother, the sister, or the
wife Of some fellow creature.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1869.
A Contretemps at a Ball.

At one of the fremen's recent
balls q little incident occurred,
which, while it reveals the treach-
cry Of the sterner sex, sufh ;iently
attests the cunning of those dear
delightful descendants Of Adams
help meet. A gentleman, some
what noted for his partlality to
the sex, had made many excuses
to his lovely young wife for not
being able to attend to her festiv-
tiles. He regretted so much that
business would detain him at his
office, and if she would only fore
60 the pleasure this time, he would
make ample amends in the future
There was a quiet look of incred-
uilty On the little matron's face as
she accepted his protestations,
which argued no very implicit
faith in her lords dec|aration.-
Nevertheless he thought it was
all fixed, and he hurried away
The wife imm ediately donned her
mask, and, accompanied by par
ty OF friends, proceeded to the
ball. It was not a great While
before she perceived in the throng
her truant liege. Securely masked,
she quietly watched his move
ments. Very soon, ,one ofherfriends
appl cached him, and begged the
privilege Of introducing him to a
most fascinating lady, and the un-
suspecting lady~killer was duly
presented to his own better halt.
Never dreaming that he wasprac-
ticing his greatest persuasiveness
upon one whom he had an un.
doubted right to please, he exerted
all his destinations.
'Oh, sir, you quite put me out
with your fattery! I suspect you
are married man. said the lady

LABoR.-No great man can be
an idler. The world is teeming
with work for US all, and no one
can do that which God has given
another to do. We seek amuse-
ments to pass away the time, when
every hour is crowded with human
destinies, and we have not one
moment to waste. The seconds
of time are the woof Of feternity-a
moment mis-spent and there is a
flaw in the web.
We must work. NoH all be
reapers, not all cleaners; butall may
do something. Day after day
humanity is stretching out her
hands for help, poor erring souls
going down to ruin, because men
and women love self more than
God. You who lounge on luxu-
rious couches, who boast Of your
Highlands, tell me what those
hands have ever done for others
The poorest day laborer who
walks the streets is greater than
you. Not all kings wear royaI
robes or sit on thrones and he is
far more kingly and noble, who
earns his bread by the sweat: Of
his brow than he who wraps about
him his purple and fine linen, and
boasts Of his millions.

WoMAN.-Is tnot strange, after
all the Bible says of woman and
women, ladies should be preferred
by any Of her sex. "She shall be
called women" is the first init
nation we have of her name, We
read of the gentle, loving Ruth,
the queenly Esther, and Elizabeth,
the mother Of John, all as women,
and she, who was the most exalted
of all, Mary the mother Of Jesus.
If lady had been a superior title,
or somthing equivalent to it, it
! surely would have been conferred
| upon her. True, she was poor,
the wife of a carpenter, her babe
| was born in a manger, yet the
angels rejoiced, and the morning
stars together, as she { a woman)
held the child in her arms. Who
bathed the Saviour's feet with her
tears, and followed him to the
cross and tomb, and received the
first blessings of the risen lord
Woman-ever kind and compass
sionate, the very name seems to
breathe of love and alteration. In
all ages, noble heroic women were
the mothers of true, brave men.
Our gradmothers were all wo,
men they loved their husbands
taught their children, and made
home happy; their sons grew up
and called them blessed. The
words women, mother, home and
friends form the golden links that
keep society together; there seems
a comfort in each word, but the
word lady brings to our minds
eyes sickly children, little graves
a disorderly house and a bankrupt
husband. 1t is this love of show
that is running the American
people; we want women, good anc
true, to preside over the homes O.
their husbands and children, tt
fill the places that God intended
them to fill, directing the mind
of sons and daughters to futur.
usefulness for themselves snc
their fellow.ereatures.

preparing themselves for the
shades Of night-sal and myself
sat upon an antique backlog, lis
tening to the music of nature such
as -toads, roosters, grunting
pigs and now and then the mellow
music of distant jack was waited
to our ears by the gentle zephyrs
that sighed among the mullen
stalks, and came heavy laden with
the delicious oder of hen-roost and
pig-styes. The last lingering rays
of the setting sun, glancing from
the brass buttons of a solitary
horseman shone through a knot

tage-one of my arms was around
Sails waist, my hand resting on

toying with my auburn locks of

and I was ditto. She looked like

cups, and I felt like a mud turtle
choked with a cod fish ball.
"Sal," says I, in voice as mu-
steal as the notes of a dying swan,
"will you have me?"
She turned her eyes heaven

staggers, and with a sigh that

The night, the company and the

were just entering the parlor door
when down I went kerslap on the

Some cussed fellow had dropped a
banana skin on the floor, and it
hoored me. 1t split an awful hole
in my cassimers right under my
dress coat tail.
1t was too late to back out; so
clasping my hand over it, we
marched in and were spliced, and
taking seat I waited the kissing
of the bride operation. My grooms-
man was a little tight, and be
kissed her until I jumped up to
take slice, when oh, horror a
little six year old imp had crawled
behind me and was pulling my
shirt through the hole in my
pants, had pinned it to a chair,
and in jumping up, 1 displayed to
the admiring gaze Of the aston
ished multitude, a trifing more
white muslin than was pleasant.
The women gigled, the men
roared, and I got mad, but was
only put to bed, and there all my
troubles ended.
