BIZ SENSIBLE CoNCLpsIoN.-The
Richmond Wing Says-"We have learn
ed in the South the value and impor-
lance of labor and the necessity of
throwing our own energies into the
work before us. We have learned that
labor is honorable and hat the educa-
ted man who works with his own hands
is far more respectable than the educa-
ted drone who SCOTS at work and lives
upon the labor OF others And Il most
valuable lesson it is to be Learned, every
where. 1t is worth more, when taken
to heart, and its teachings practiSed,
than mines Of gold:
gsgn Pull YOUR WEEDs-NoW is the
seed-time of weeds, and it is necessary
that little time be snatched from the
haraSsing duties Of the harvest to attend
to these pests. If NEGLECTED they will
seed the ground for many years. II
an opportunity can be seized Of cutting
them now, and burning them, 50 that
the seeds are utterly destroyed, a breath
of relief may well be taken, for seri,
Gus and underwriting enemy has been
vanquished \ few victories so com
plete will lead to their disappearance.
RS SOME EPrrApH.-An old gray
rooster, belonging to citizen of this
place, departed this life few days ago.
The deceased was an "old rooster" and
a great faYorite, as the following cpl
taph conclusively proves =
"Iere ise the boldly of poor old Gray,
He left this world mo detts to pay,
His family was small but daily decrease,
Sob ade doun and dide to avoyd diseese."
BE-" WoMANs NmrUE-lt is a pre-
vailing vice among men of doubling the
virtue of women. TO us it looks like
not only an outrage to good taste, but
also betokcns want of intellect. Be
sides this, it betol,ens Il beSotted nature,
and passions that would disgrace a beast.
The idea of dragging woman down to
mans level, in point Of virtue, is so re-
pugnant to the feelings, so utterly at
variance with the truth, that the utterer
ought not to have place in civilized
society. We would wish to impress
upon those who cast this slur upon the
character Of the women of our land, that
if what they charge were true, this fair
world of ours would be perfect hell.
The women of our land are rs far above
those who make these assertions, as the
heavens are above the earth. Our wO-
men are the highest types of purity and
virtue and any craven who would
drive them from this high estate de
serves the execrations of all good men.
