and your pictures, speaking in way
that would make your cheeks burn with
shame, if you heard it. All this, most
ncredulous and romantic young ladies,
they will do: although thcy gaze at your
fresh young faces admirinyly and send

don't youdo it. Schoolgirls firtutions
may end disastrously, as many foolish
and wretchcd young girl coull tell you.
Your yearning for some one to love is a
great need of womau's heart But there
is a time for everything. Dpn't let the
bloomand freshness OF your heart be
brushed off in silly filtration. Render
yourself trucly intelligent. Aud, above
all, tell your mother everything. Fun
in your dictionary would be indiscrc-
tion in hers. 1t would do no harm to
look and see. Never be ashamed to tell
her, who should be your best freud
and confleat, all you think and feel
1t is very strange that SO many young
girls willtcll every person before "moth-

should know. It's very sad that indiiicr-
ent bcrsons siiouli know more about

How to Put on q Corset.

At this jutcture the cor6ner desired
to show to the jury the course taken by
the ball, and for this purpose produced
the corset worn by Mrs. BuckBart at the
time of the tragedy, "You see," said
he-and here he drew the corset around
his waist, with the laces in front-'sthe
ball must have gone in here from be-
hind. No that can't be, either, for the
doctor says the ball went in front. Con
found it. I've got it on wfong All!

corset on up side down. 'Now you see,"
pointing to the hole in the garment,
which rested directly over the hip, "the
ball must have gone in here. No, that
can't be, either, for"
Here Mr.. Mather, the handsomest
man on the jury, broke in: CDR. Still
man." said he, "you've got that corset
on wrong" Here DR.. Stillman blushcd
like puppy. "Well," said he, "I'vc
been married twice, and I ought to
know how to rig corset" "Yes,"said
Mr.. Mather, "but you don't. You had
it right in the first place. The strings
go in front, and the ladies clasp them
together in the back. Don't you know?
[ think ought to; have been mar
ried. IF you doubt it, look here, point
ing to the fullness in the top.) How do
you suppose that's goirg to be filed up
unless you put il on. as 1 suggest 2"
"That," said DR.. Stillmen, "why that
goes over the hips" "No, it. DON'T"
said Mr.. AIasher, ssthat fullbess goes
somewhere elso-this way" aud hore
Mr.. Mather indicated where he Thought
the fullness ought to go ,s2 CsG
AT this pale-faced young man with
voice like robbin, and note book
under his arm, said he thought ladies
always clasped their corsets on the side.
The pale-faced young man said this very
innccently, as if h. wished to convey
the impression that lie knew not'iipg
whatever of the matter. The jury
laughed the pale faced young man to
scorn, and one of them intimated that
he thought the young man was not half
SO green about womans' dress as he tried
to appear. The young man was re-
porter, aud it is therefore probable that
his knowledge was fully as limited as
was apparent from his suggestion, the
juryman to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Here another juryman discovered that
DR.. Stlllman had the corset on bottom
side up. Doctor" said he, "put it on
the othcr way"
Then the doctor put it on in reverse
order, with the lace in front. This
brought the bullet holes directly over
the tails Of his coat.
81 don't Think said Mr.. Mather,
chat the bullet went in there, Doctor. +"
"No, L don't think it did" was the
reply. Confourd it, it's mighty funny

BADLY HURT, If NOT KnLED.-A boy
about II years old, son OF the man who
lives in the old ware house at GAINESVILLE
two miles west Of Fairmout was struck
by the locomotive bringing the Cumber-
land Accommodation train to this city,
yesterday, and seriously hurt Il not killed.
The boy suddenly made his appearance
on the track in advance Of the engine
Although the engineer made every effort
In his power TO avoid colliding with him
failed, the distance intervening being too
short. The pilot or the cylinder Of the
engine struck him throwing him Oft sew
eral feet from the rails. The train was
brought 10 full stop as soon as possible,
when Capt VIM Devries had it backed
to the point where he was lying pros.
trate and insenslble. SnCh rcstorativcs as
could be had, were applied by Capt D. and
others who kindly assisted, but when the
train left the unfortunate boy gave no
signs Of returning consciousness By this
time a few neichbors had gathered at the
scene Of the occurrence, and would con
time the effort. What the result was, we
have no information.

THE HEALTH OF THE CITY.-We have
been assured by the Health officer, DR..
Reeves, that Wheeling was never more
healthy at any season Of the year than at
present. There is not case of smallpoy
nor any other terribly contagious disease
in our midst. The very little sickness and
small mortality among children during the
recent heated term has been the subject
OF general congratulation. In fact, we
have good reason TO believe, that during
the past season the city hes been health.
Ter than the country. A small mortality
among children constitutes most unGrr.
ing sanitary monitor, for where the little
ones perish, there exists also danger to
the health Of the surrounding population.

DANGEROUS BUsINEss.-We heard last
evening of a little fellow down in the
Eighth Ward who INDUCES occasionally,
in shooting at his companions. No long
ago he lodged part OF a charge Of shot in
the calf OF his targets leg and a single
miniature bullet imbedded itself in the
skin just above and between the eyes.
Considering the young sportsman's skill
in the use ofthc shot gun, We should Judge
thatan admouItion or twoabout the game
he seeks would be in order. 1t is not al.
legged that he ia actuated by malice in
making these raids on the boys. Some
friend should advise him to dcsist from
continuing the dangerous amusement.
