LITTLE WOMEN,

BY large woman, DR., Lewis states that
he means one weighing from lao to 100
pounds; and by small woman, one whose
weight is from 80 to Ito pounds, Re-
ferring to the fact that most men prefer
the "darliug, sweet, petite" he says;
The reason for this preference for little
women among men is simply this; For
merly women were slaves to the passions
of men. In modern times they have,
among our better classes, risen a little
above that, aud have become the pets and
toys of men. Now, pet or toy, say a
black aud tan, is valuable in proportion to
its diminutiveness. A mau selecting a
wife that he intends to dress in silks and
laces, with trinkets hung in her ears, rings
on her fingers and little ornaments stuck
all over her, who is to sit in his parlor
while be is absent on business, to dress
and redress herself several times q day, to
be ready to receive him all cOrsctted, be-
silked, bejeweled and bescentqd, when he
shall come from his office. A man who
selects wife as pet, toy, is likely to
have the same sort of preference for a
petite wife that he has for petite black
and tan. This Is the source of the prefer
once for little women. Born of the same
parents, fed at the same table, educated at
the same school, why, in America, does a
man weigh Gfty pounds more than wo-
maul This petite size can be accounted
tor Nothing, to my mind, is palmer.
Exercise is the great law CT development.
Our girls have 10 adequate exercise. &c.
sides, The organs on which growth depends,
viz: the lungs, stomach and liver, are re-

living in the shade, explain the alarming

VINO is OLD "A wise man will
never rust. As long as he can
move and breathe he viii be doing
for himself, for his neighbor or for
pesterity. Almost to the last hour
Of his life, Washington was at work.
So were Franklin and Young, and
Newton. The vigor of their lives
never decayed. No rust married
their spirits. 1t is a foolish idea to
suppose we must lie down and die
because we are old. Who is old
Not the man of energy {; not the day
laborer in science, art or benevo'
lence; but he only who suffers his
energies to waste away, and the
springs of life to become motionless
on whose hands the hours drag
heavily, and to whom all things
wear the garb of gloom. Is he old
should not be put; but is he active
can he breathe freely, and move with
agilityf There are scores OF grey
headed men we should prefer, in any
important enterprise, to those young
gentlemen who fear and tremble at
approaching shadows, and turn pale
at . lion in their path, or harsh
word or frown.

ADVANTAGES OF CRYING.-A no.
ted French physician is out in a
long dissertation on the advantages
of groaning and crying in general,
and especially during surgical oper-
atoms. He contends that grOaning
and crying are two grand operations
by which nature allays anguish !;
that those patients who give way to
their natural feelings more speedily
recover from accidents and opera
tons than those who suppose it un-
worthy man to betray such symp-
toms Of cowardice as either to groan
or cry. He tells of man who re-
duced his pulse from 100 to 60 in
the course of few hours, by giving
full vent to his emotions. If people
are at all unhappy about anything,
let them go into their rooms and
comfort themselves with loud boo
hoo, and they will feel a hundred
per cent. better afterward.
In accordance with the above, the
CRYING of children should not be too
greatly discouraged. If it be sys-
tematically repressed, the result may
be St. Vitus' dance, epileptic fits, OF
some other disease of the nervous
system. What is natural is nearly
always useful; and nothing can be
more natural than the crying Of
children when anything occurs to
give them either physical or mental
pain.

A farmer who went to Texas to
buy a farm was greatly prejudiced
against the country he thought to
settle in, from the fact that a doctor
whom he called to attend him when
he was seized with a fever, began
trying ion his clothes Immediately
after writing a prescription. The
fact that while the doctor was trying
on his coat, the chamber maid was
examining his handkerchief and the
porter was struggling with his boots,
lent wings to his imagination, and.
doubtless, had an influence in regard
to his speedy exit from the State.

SUCH A Observation-Disclosures
blunders sometimes occur with hap
py examinations. A st. Louis lady
and her little girl went out one at
ternoon for an airing in the park
Seated at the foot of a monument
was young man whom the little
girl took for her father, and ran into
his arms before she discovered her
mistake. Her mother apologized
and the man excused her, and COM
menced playing With the child
The mother sat down, and finding
her new-mado acquaintance to be
quite a gentleman, entered into con-
versation with him. Just then a
busybody who knew her passed
through, ran directly to her husband
and told him he had better look at
ter his wife, stating where he had
seen her. S:ung BY such an insin-
uation, the husband hurried off to
the park and found her az repre-
sented. He seized the man by the
collar and was about to shoot him
without hearing word of explana-
ton, when suddenly he relinquished
his hold and asked him his name,
greatly to his establishment learned
that he was addressing his brother,
whom he had been separated from
since childhood, and save for sober
second thought he would have MUIR
dered. The story of the separation
was one, not at all new in boyhood
they had lived in an Eastern home,
and one, seized with the spirit of ad-
venture, went to the Pacific coast,
failed to write home, and became, as
it we're, dead to the family. The
other brother came West several
years after and settled in st. Louis,
where the first brother wandered
after somewhat eventful expert
ence, and the recognition took place.

the grass at our feet, and the bridal
bells ringing in the air above US,

accents of we'll trained Sabbath

ANOTHER CURE FOR CANCER.

A piece of sticking plaster is put
over the cancer, with acircular piece
cut out Of the centre a little larger
than the cancer and a small circular
rim of healthy skin next to it is ex-
posed. Then a plaster made of chic
ride of zinc, blood root, and wheat
-four, is spread on a piece of muslin
of the size of this circular opening.
and applied to the cancer for TWEEN
ty.four hours. On removing it, the
cancer will be found to be burnt in
to, and appear the color and hard
ness of an old shoe sole, and the cir
cular rim outside of it will appear
white and parboiled, as ifscalded by
hot steam. The wound is now dress
ed the outside rim soon separates /;
the cancer comes out hard lump;
and the place heals up. The plaster
kills the cancer, so that it sloughs
out like dead flesh, and never grows
again. This, remedy discovered by
DR.. Fell, of London, has been used
by him for six or eight years, and no
case has been known of the reap
psarance of the cancer, where this
remedy has been applied 1t has the
sanctum of eminent physicians and
surgeons of London, but has not till
recently been used in this country.
If it is what is claimed for it,
this terrible disease will now be shorn
Of most of its terrors. The applica-
ton is painful, but the pain is of
comparatively brief duration, which
any one so afflicted would cheerfully
endure.

A NEW and mysterious enemy of
sheep, more fatal even than the MUIR
derous dogs, has made its appear
ance and dreadfully ravaged the
flocks of Manitowoc, in Wisconsin.
The animal being found dead, no
marks of violence are to be found
save a small hole behind the ear,
from which the blood has been
sucked. This has led to the conclu-
sion that the destroyer is a kind of
bat, more properly speaking, vam'
pire-a creature which even men
may fear, since it may not have an
exclusive taste for the vital fluid of
the muttons. This, with the curcu-
lilo and potato bug, render our pres
ent assortment of nexious vermin
very complete.

The Chicago Post says: "One
of three things ought to come to
pass. Either a woman's lapse from
virtue ought to be regarded with
more charity, or else the man who
drags her down ought to be held to
an equal punishment--or else pO-
lygamy ought 10 be established at
once, and Brigham Young elected
President. 1t is simply shameful
that women should be punished ten
times as severely as man for the
same sin.
