Two n q Bed.

Miss Anthony, Of the Revolution, is
down on double beds, because of the
temptation they afford of sleeping two
in a bed. This is the only sense in
which she has ever had or is ever likely
to have an opportunity to be down on
double beds. She goes for 'cots, cribs
and single beds for health and happi-
ness. She says
More quarrels arise between broth :
ers, between sisters, between hired
girls, between apprentices in machine
shops, between clerks in stores, between
hired men, between husbands and wives,
owing to electrical changes through
which their nervous systems go by lodg
ing together night after night under the
same bed clothes than by almost any
other disturbing cause. There is moth.
ing that will SO derange the nervous
force as to lie all night in bed with an
other person who is absorbent in nerv-
Gus force. The absorber will go to
sleep and rest all night, while the elm
inator will be tumbling and tossing,
restless and nervous, and wake in the
morning fretful, peevish, fault finding
and discouraging. No two persons, no
matter who they are, should habitually
sleep together. One will thrive and the
other lose. This is the law, and in mar
ried life it is defied almost universally

LADY VS.. WoMAN--SENsIBLE COUNSEL
The Darlington Is. CO. Southerner dis
courses thus sensibly and wisely to the
young femeninity of that State in long
article. Why should not young women
fit themselves to become partners of
future husbands in their various callirgs?
Why should they not, like their brothers,
learn to do somthing by which they
might lessen their burden upon society,
or secure, in case of necessity, their
entire independence |? Our young
women should get rid. in first place. of
the idea that the great object of life is to
become merely finely dressed female
idlers, or what they are 80 fond OF being
called, ladies'. It would be well that
this term were abolished altogether, OF
kept to use exclusively with prefix Of
'.fne," as q term of contempt as now
properly applied to q class of worthless
women. With the casting off word lady
as vulgarized in our country, and the
general assumption of the term women,
would come a better appreciation of her
duties. Our daughters and wives would
then be less disposed to live as if the
perfection of their being was to be finely
dressed and have nothing to do

translucent, that it seemd to me could,
by reaching my arm over the side Of
the boat, clutch the shining pebbles al

thing in first meeting with General
