The democrat. [volume] (Weston, W. Va.) 1868-1874, 1869-07-05

we gather inspiration from our coal-oil
lamps, and commence once more on
GOALS"
and their " stole" People Of the female
persuasion, to one one of our rustic cxpe-
rience, have always been of that anago.
getical Gf you don't know what that
means, find ouD kind which inspired us
with curiosity as to their probable, posi-.
bic or impossible composition. We have
but little ambition rs an anatomist, and
consequently will make no supposision as
to Tho formation of the earthly angels
interiorly; but judging from what's open
to common observation, We will speak
briefly of their appearances. Z" Gals" in
Ohio may be placed in three classes, &C.
nominated thus: LIST Fast; 2ud Faster
Srd Fastest. A girl who hns the audacity
to be known as slow" is not u "repre-
sentative gall" The colors of the rain
bow must be invoked for their habilments;
and the hidden treasures of he drug store
must be dragged forth to supply tha tints
which natue, has failed to place upon their
countenunccs. Each girl, so far as we
could scc, was anxious to be numbered
enong the fastest; aud if such was not
TIC case, it was through no fault of hers.
The whole aim of their life seems to be
exactly opposite Ioour autiqnaicd and very
conservative ideas Of what the appear
ancc of a young lady should be; but
then they arc Goals Of Tue Period =
everlasting roses on the vine of loilty;
gushing descendants Of the MayAower
crowd; cxotics blooming in lcolnud; and
as matter Of course, 'he.r fragrance is
len per cent. greater than auy Might
Blooming Serious" tn intelligence, they
do ACC compare with the young ladies Of
the South; aud We eau safely affirm that
it many Of tho poorer girls Of the South
hid the opportunities which are sras'ed on
lhe si'ls Of Ohio, The difference would be
so great as to put 10 shame the Yankee
best of Northern intelligence" In
morals, it would BE- no difficult task for
The lalics Of Ohio to improve; as The
records Of the Courts and the universal
"talk" ah9uS each other will testify. a
comparison, ofthc white "chance children"
of Virginia and West Virginia combined
aud the number Of children born out of
wedock, in Ohio, will settle this fact
beyond controversy. he
ToTs
are very peculiar set. Lacking the
spirit of maulincys aud chivalry which is
The general sentiment in the South they
fully come up to tho wooden nutmeg
standard OF their ancestors in meanness.
In enc paruculpc, they have degencrated
from the HABITS Of iasfr fofefpthers-tloy
utterly abho- 'ecrl, IN any shape or fern,
A new suit OF clothes, q boiled shirt with
u RULED bosom, delicate moustache. and
y fast girl arc thcit ambition. With these
things-no naste: how ohtaiped, they rest
at ease. No qualms Of conscience ever
stir up The sense. of duty 10 q toiliug
father OF mother; and no sense Of his
own degradation coald induce him to soil
The hands o. brown The c9untcranee in
which bis "gj,:e tnkas such delight. It
is no wondet, then, fat at every street,
corner, you are confronted by crowds Of
"genseal loafers," whose culy /" visible
means Of support" is what they sponge"
from parents or relatives. With an
abundance Of "c!,eek," and plenty Of
small talk. tbsy worry themselves through
life, aud weeo i! not that they leave their
representatives, behind them, the world
would DC far better for their demise. As
regards intelligence, they do not bear the
least comparison with tho young men Of
the South girls ankle aud their
moustachc seeming o DO their great OBJ
icci ia life. Turning from these insipid
t auGs on humanity we will speak of 10 the
oder r,t
HIN ANo WOMEN,
samples Of when occasionally come among
lis here. Although they are decided
improvement. on the boys aud girls I've
mean young "ledics" md gentlemen
they lack -ha generous ard, open
hearted sp;ii., which one is accustomed to
meet south Of tie Ohio river. With
narrow and pros,rip'ive political and
religious views, they carry heir ideas
with them INFO The Household; aud tbeir
private pcccadiiioas coming in contact
with their expressed principles, creates the
domestic iufelicity FOR which the section
is remarkable. Pasilnot'ious and miserly
to degree; they will willingly spend all
their substance in attempt 10 defrrud I"
ueighbor by process Of Law" So faras
our observation hns gone, give Us the
Democratic Nlountaineer Of Tie South !;
and keep far away the PuritaDical deni.
zens of Ohio. Although The kind Of
reople Of which we have written arc in
tho majority, yet there is an
t HONORABLE MINORITY,
which is we'll worthy Of observation;
and will be quickly noted By any one
taking trip through tho State. Much
Of the country in tho southeastern counties
was settled BY yirsiuinns. and the true
Virginia feeling is manifested both in
public ard the private walks Of life.
