Female Delicacy.

Above every other feature that aderns
the female character, d%elicacy stands fore
most within the province of good taste.
Not that d~elicacy which is pe~rpotually in
quest of something tc be ashamed of,
which makes merit of a blush, and sim
pers at the false construction its own in
genuity has put upon an innocent remark :
this spurious kind Of d~clicacy is as far re-
moved from good taste as from good feel
ing and good sense but the high minded
d~elicacy which maintains its pure and
undertaking walk alike amongst women as
in the society of men, which shrinks from
no necessary duty, and can speak, when
required, with seriousness and kindness,
of things at which it would be ashamed
to smile or to blush-that d~elicacy which
knows how to confer a benefit without
wounding the feelings of another, and
which understands also how and when to
receive one-that delicacy which can give
aims without display, and advice without
assumption and which pains not the most
humble or susceptible being in creation.

DiSheartenerS.

1t is cheap and easy to destroy. There
is no joyful boy or innocent girl buoyant
with fine purposes of duty in all the
streetSful Of rosy faces, but a cynic can
chill and dishearten with a single word.
Dependency comes readily enough to the
most ~sangVine people. The cynic has
only to follow the hint with his bitter
confirmation, and they 60 home with
heavier step and premature age. They
will quickly enough give the hint he wants,
to the cold wretch. Which of them has
not failed to please? or Numbered where
they we're most ambitious of SUGGEST or
found themselves awakened or tedious, or
incapable of study, thought or heroism,
and only hoped by good sense or fidelity
to do what they could not pass unbalanced ?
And this wicked malefactor makes their
little hope less with satire and skepticism,
and slackens the springs of eudeavor.
Yet, this is easy {; but to help the young
soul, add energy, inspire hope, and blow
the coal into useful fame (; to resume de-
feat by new thought, by firm action, that
is not easy-that is the work of divine
men.

he was suddenly taken i'll and died at the time

reaved family of the deceased. But alas for
human hopes! The Reaper comes when least
expected, and cherished objects are cut down
with but little warning. May he rest in peace.

Why Will We Die ?

Death, or what is worse, is the ~inevita-
BILE result of continued suspension of the
menstrual flow. 1t is a condition which
should not be trifed with. Immediate re-
lief is the only safeguard against constitu-
tional ruin. In all cases of suppression,
suspension, or other irregularity of the
"courses," DIR. j. Brad6eld's Female Reg
ulatOr is the only sure remedy. 1t acts
by giving tone to the nervous c%enters, i'm
proving the blood, and terminating direct
ly to the organs of menstruatiou. 1t is a
legitimate prescription. and the most in
telligent doctors use it. Prepared by j.

Death of an Old Newspaper Man.

Mr.. John Roberts, Senior proprietor of
the Nashville Banner, died at his resi-
dence in Summer county on Monday of
last week, after an illness of about ten
days. He has been connected with that
journal about thirty-seven years. To his
skill aud energy the Banner is largely
indebted for its successful career. He
was a member of the Episcopal Church
and practiced during his life the precepts
laid down in Holy writ. He was sixty
two years Of age last June.

Professor WILDER.

This gentleman gave n of his brill
liant and entertaining performances in the
Institute at this place on Saturday night
last. The collection of paintings which
he presented were chosen with much skill
and taste, and their interest greatly aug
mented by the happy manner in which
they were described by the Professor.
His specimens of ventriloquism were
singular and humorous; his manner, as a
singer, is efficient and pleasing, animated
without oifectation, and his voice loud and
full without barshness. There is a har-
mony and naturalness about the whole
which is as rare as it is pleasing and agree
able. Those who failed to witness his
performance missed a treat. He antici-
patcs returning next Friday night. If
so, notice will be given, and we hope to
see a crowded house. We commend him
to all communities which he may visit.

Personal.

We were pleased to receive a call, du-
ring the past week, from Mr.. Clark, DR..
Ayers traveller, who was in our town
devoting his time and attention to the
preparations of the great medicine man.
This call has become a pleasant annual
to US from the able and reliable business
character of the accomplished gentleman
whom this firm send out to transact their
business. No house is better known or
valued by the press for its promptness in
settlement than the well established and
popular J.. G. Aver & Co., Lowell Mass,
whose medicines have become a household
necessity, and won the confidence and
praise of all. Our own acquaintance
with them has extended over a series Of
years, and we have invariably found them,
their travellers and their medicines,
worthy of the concentrations they every
where ceive.-[Jackson (Tenn.) Trib-

An Old ROSe-BuSh,

1t is believed that the Oldest rOse-bush
in the world is one which is trained upon
one side of the cathedral of Hildesheim,
in Germany. The root is buried under
the crypt, below the choir. The stem Is
a foot thick, and half a dozen branches
nearly cover the eastern side of the church,
bearing countless flowers in summer. It's
age is unknown, but documents exist that
prove that the Bishop Hello nearly a
thousand years ago protected it by a stone
roof, which is still extaut.

An Ancient Tree.

The oldest tree in Europe is said to be
a cypress in Somma, Lombardy, Italy.
This tree is believed to have been in exis-
tence ut the time of julius Caesar, forty
two years before Christ, and is therefore
1911 years old. 1t is LOG feet in height,
and 20 feet in circumference at one foot
from the ground. Napoleon, when laying
down his plan for the great road over the
Simplon, diverged from a straight line to
avoid injuring this tree.

A Welch paper says that a Llanrwst
fisherman recently landed a salmon weigh
ing twenty-five and one.half pounds, and
had 1t conveyed to his hotel with the in
tention of dining on One-half of it. On
the salmon being opened, it was discover
ed it had gOrged an eel, weighing about
two and One,quarter pounds. The eel
was dlssected, and a one and three.quar-
ter pound trout was brought to light.
The trout was cut open, and inside were
found eight minnows, making in all a
catch of ten fish. The search was not
further pursued.

Early Marriage.

The ancient maidens of Poughkeepsie
we're much scandalized by n "marriage
in high life" where each of the parties
was seventeen years and a few days old.
They insisted that the organist should
play Crock Me to Sleep, Mother" and
"Put Me in My Little Bed" but he
would not humor the spiteful things.
The young couple were marred like
grown folks, to the Grand Wedding
March. One of the splteful things de-
manded where they were going-and
when told to Saratoga and Niagara, of
caurse, "What, all alone?" asked that
spiteful thing.

Refined Homes.

The end of civilization is refined homes.
All the work of the world-the railroad
ing, navigating, digging, manufacturing,
inventing, teaching, writing, fighting, are
done, first of all, to secure each family in
the possession of its own heaTthj aud, Sec
ondly, to surround as many hearths as
possible with grace, and culture, aud
beauty. The work of all races for FIVE
thousand years is represented in the diff
ference between a wigwam and a lady's
parlor. 1t has no better result to show.
