FRIVoLITY OF WOMEN.

Men complain Of the frivolity of
women. They say that the average
woman thinks more about the fashion,
able cut of her dress, the style OF her
hair and the height Of her shoe heels,
than she does Of the affairs Of State, the
reformations Of society, or the different
avenues of trade and commerce.
We grant that all these assertions are
true. We are sorry to admit this, but
the fact is everywhere discernible. We
know Of no remedy for the existing
frivolity of women except increase of
moral and pecuniary responsibility. 1t
is natural and also perfectly right that
woman should bestow much care upon
her personal adornment. Show us a
woman who has no regard for cleanli-
ness, beauty, or even fashion, and We
will show you a woman who is a sort of
natural monstrosity disagreeable
compound of vinegar and aquafortis-
or else q vapid specimen Of humanity
who cannot arouse herself sufficiently
to form an intelligent opinion.
Our idea of a perfect woman is that
she should be piquant, sprightly, agree
able, energetic, ambitious, affectionate
that her domestic world is the home
and household, loving her husband and
looking upon him as her equal, and low
ing, caring for and judiciously govern
ing her children, causing them to enjoy
all the little endearments Of a wise
mothers love, that they may never let
the germ OF human kindness decay in
their hearts.
But this is not all that we claim foI
her. We desire that she be educated to
some trade or profession; that she use
the natural endowment of her brain
in some remunerative avocation, train
ing her mind to the full understanding
Of all matters of importance in the
country by the laws of which she is
governed; that she fit herself TO live
independently of man, if need be-by
his side if so inclined; and in no way
should she allow herself to become Il
clog or hindrance to her husband.
But the mass Of women are not as yet
mentally strong enough 10 come out
from the trammels Of custom and assert
their womanly prerogative. Men must
help them to throw Off this state of FEM
mime frivolity, and teach them the i'm
portance Ofthe high duties that devolve
upon them as the mothers of the race
Encourage them TO assume political re.
sponsibilities, and we shall soon heal
less Of their frivolity, or of the com
plant that their minds run upon trifles

BEAUTIFYING FARMS.

An exchange truthfully says that
great progress has been made by the
great majority Of farmers within the
past few years, not only in making
their farms more productive, but also
In making them more attractive. This
is, in a large measure, the result of
more prosperous farming. Those who
had debts TO pay did not feel able to
spend much in ornamenting their
places; but since they have freed them
selves from this burden, they have been
more disposed to attend to the appear
ance of things.
There has been, also, an advance in
taste. There are not so many now as
formerly who decry all attention
TO the ornamental as n waste of time
and money. The race of niggardly and
boorish farmers is fast dying out In
creasing Intelligence, the extensive cir
cnlatiOn Of reading matter, the forma-
tion Of agricultural and other societies,
the Infusion Of a larger element OF edu-
Gated and cultivated people in the pro-
fession, have had powerful influence in
securing more attention TO the beauti-
ful and ornamental in farming, instead
Of having everything expended for
mere pecuniary returns. This is indeed
a great advance, and vastly ehnobles
the pursuit Of farming.

ADVICE TO YOUNG WRITERS.

If there is any person with whom we
sympathize 1t is the young writer. No
writer can remember the misgivings
with which the first article was sent TO
the printer, and how anxiously the
next issue of the paper was scanned
to see if the piece was published, with
out appreciating the feelings Of all who
are similarly circumstanced.
A young writer need never expect his
article TO meet with any particular fa-
vor because he puts in a plea of mex
perienee. Never ask any favor for your
article because you are a new hand. or
because yOu are the writer. Mover sac
rifice sense to flourish. Prepare your
article i'm as neat a manner rs possible,
and don't write it on both sides Of the
ssheet. And above all don't expect the
editor to ''fix it up" and make il resda-
i,1a
