"Hurrah for women

From the 1t. I.UalS IlOOe.
We love women-old or young sim
ply because they are women. Our moth
ers spank US; our sweethearts spoil our
joys by flirting with our rivals; our wives
read us a genuine or moderate Caudle
lecture which we usually deserve. Wo-
man has laughed at our woes when in
indulging in the tender passion, riddled
our hearts with Erosian arrows, depleted
our pocket book, disturbed our slumbers,
spoiled our coffee, rumpled our starched
linen bosoms, hung TO our arm with her
whole precious weight when our corns
hurt us most, danced us into perspiratiOn,
and caused US to buy lozengers for a cold;
but in spite of all these things, we love
her. We set her up as an idol, and pros
trate ourselves before her as before some
divinity. We don't care a copper what
dry goods cost, so she looks so sweet
We will fight for her like Prussian sol
der. Let Mr.. Holland say what he will
to derogate from the sex, we shall ''hang
our banner on the outer WALL and cry,
s. Hurrah for the women.

The southward Immigration.

Extract from Paris Letter To the Georgia
immigration Committee.
beg leave 10 ask by what sort of magi-
cal power can you expect our merchants,
our bankers, our capitalists TO interest
themselves in i country which they know
nothing OF, except what is occasionally
| told them in a general way III speaking
OF the South? Business men are not like
the christians of olden time, they are not
moved by faith. They want facts and
figures. As a general thing Europeans
have no other but vague ideas about your
country and its population; and it is not
upon such imperfect notions that they
will embark into business and risk their
capital. In such position, you under
stand, they may be pushed but they GER
tainly will not take any initiative They
are like people entering for the first time
into dark room, and feeling their way
slUwl Y as they advance. The initiative
has TO come from you, the propositions
be made by you, and in such way as to
appeal to their interests. In this case,
there is nothing you can not, with time
and perseverance and perfect acquaint-
ance with ourways of dealing, obtain from
our business men and capitalists.
France can give Georgia several lines
of steamers and a large emigration. 7
say large, because | have seen it begin
four months ago with Canada, and that
beginning was excellent. l frequently
see the agent of the Canadian govern
ment, and the people who are focking to
its office, and | feel assured that next
year from four to FIVE thousand emigrants
will take that route. The emigration
to the Argentine republic, that COM
menced ten years ago with 5000 emf
grants and thirty vessels per annum,
has reached $4,000 and employs $50
vessels annually. The agent writes to
me that he will soon have 100,0 900 for
that destination. When your State will
be ready, | will send you, if you like,
copious memoir on the various questions
concerning French emigration, with ac-
companying documents.
| have just told you that in this bust
ness, as in any other, it is for your people
to take the initiative, spread documents,
and call trade, navigation and emigration
to your shores, Official documnts from
your Chamber of Commerce, or from the
State, officially communicated, will GER
tainly command attention here, and awake
the interest of the industries, merchants,
ship-owners and capitalists 50 with your

We don't know whether the mammals
are going to adopt the plan of lady of

nation was created when the heauX as

mamma credit first, that boys under
age were not desirable at parties for her
daughter, and why waste so much good
eating and drinking on them for boys

swallow tails and white cravats, and
dancing the German is one of the most
appetizing exercises, except singing.
The ball was 4 great success, and the
mamma, finding she has given such
offense to the beau jeunesse, has an
nounced her intention of having another
and inviting all the boys, and they each
declare they won't go if she could give
her grand ball without them; they won't
come in second best. The fair young

Strength and Health.

Ii is quite a common idea that health
keeps pace with strength. There are
people who really think that you may de-
termine the comparative health Of COM
pany of men by measuring their arms
that he whose arm measures twelve in
ches is twice as healthy as one who mea-
sures but six. This strange and thought
less misapprehension has given rise to
nearly all the mistakes thus far made in
the physical culture movement. | have
a friend who can lift nine hundred
pounds, and yet is habtual sufferer
from torpid liver, rheumatism and low
spirits. On the contrary, l have many
friends who would staggcr under three
hundred pounds that are in capital trim.
But | need not elaborate matter so
familiar to physicians and other observ-
ing people.
No test of health would prove more
faulty than a tape line or lift at the
scale beam. Suppose two brothers.
bank clerks-in bad health. They are
measured around the arm. Each marks
exactly ten inches. They try the scale
BEAM The bar rises exactly at three
hundred pounds with each. Both seek
health. John goes to the gymnasium,
lifts heavy dumb bells and heavy kegs of
nails until he can put up one hundred
and twenty-five pounds and lift nine hun
dred, and his arm reaches fifteen inches.
Thomas goes 20 the mountains, fishes,
hunts, spends delightful hours with the
young ladies and plays cricket Upon
measuring his arm we find it scarcely
larger than when he left town, while he
can't put up sixty pounds nor lift five
hundred But who doubts Thomas will
return to the bank counter the better man
of the two? John should be the better
man il trength is the principle or most
essential condition of health.

SAcREDNEss OF TEARs.-O, speak not
harshly of the stricken one, weeping in
silence! Break not the deep solemnity by
rude laughter or extrusive footsteps! De-
spise not woman's tears; they are what
make her angel. Scof not if the stern
heart of manhood Is melted sometimes into
sympathy; they are what help to elevate
him above the brute. | love to see tears OF
affection. They are painful tokens, but still
most holy. There is pleasure in tears-an
awful pleasure. If there be none on earth tC
shed a tear for me, Should not wish TO live
and if no one might weep over my grave,
could not die in peace.

Again, there are men born with a ge-
MUS for money-making. They have the
instinct of accumulation. The talent
and inclination to convert dollars into
doublOons by bargains or shrewd invest
ments are III them, just as strongly
marked and as uncomfortable as were
the ability and inclination of Shake
speare to produce Hamlet and Othello,
of Raphael to paint his cartoons, of
Beethoven to compose his symphonies, or
Morse to invent an electric telegraph. =
As it would have been gross dereliction
of duty, a shameful perversion of gifts,
had these latter disregarded the instincts
of their genius and engaged in the scram-
lie for wealth, so would Rothchild, an
Aston and Peabody have sinned had
they done violence to their natures, and
thrown their energies into channels where
they would have proved dwarfs, and not
giants. The mission of a Lawrence or Il
Cornell, equally with that Of an Agassz,
a Bierstadt, or a Powers, is defined in
the faculties God has given him; and no
one Of them has right to turn aside
from the paths to which his finger 50
plainly points Academies, colleges,
hospitals, museums, libraries, railroads,
none Of which could have been possible
without their accumulations-are the
proofs of their usefulness; and though
the millionaire too often converts his
brain into ledger and his heart into a
milestone, yet this starvation of his spir-
itual nature Is no more necessary in his
pursuit than in that Of the doctor or law
yer. Agassiz is reported to have said,
half scornfully, that he had mo time to
make money" having given himself to
science. But how could he get leisure to
study the secrets of nature if others had
not made money for him 90 Getting on

From the Saginaw .NHchf Courier.
Some few days since a wcll-dresscd
gentleman, apparently in well-to-do cir
cumstances, came 10 this city from SOME
point on the shore, where he had been
engaged in numbering operations, iu
feeble state of health, and has since been
confined TO hi, bed. Recently his coudi.
ton was such that although the attending
physician VINO immediate cause of fear.
the patient was disposed to feel that there
was a probability OF an early dissolution.
and that death at any time might ter-
inmate his earthly suffering so strong
had this feeling grown that the unlartu-
nate man communicated 20 the attending
physician his fears, and requested him to
convey the news gently to a lady iu
Romeo, Michigan, whom he loved more
dearly than life He cautioned him
against broaching the matter too rudely.
as she was a tender flower, and the shock
might be too great for her sensitive ma
ture. The Doctor made a careful minute
of all these requests, and in strict OBJ
servance Of all iuiunctious wrote to the
lady as desired. The answer came back
promptly, aud To- the point, us follows.
"Dr. ---, / care nothing for Mr., nor

to send no more word. Miss Pa.

The Doctor, il scarcely need DE added,
was touched with this unexpected display
of affection ON the part Of the tender

he has not felt like communicating with

act of performing the deeds which give
them renown, or else in stately repose

ings have to bother themselves with the
little things of life which engage the at
tentiOn of US smaller people. No doubt
Moses snuffed and got angry when he had
a severe cold in his head, and if fly bit

why should we suppose he did not jump

tain that he used to get the slippers in the
dark and found that Calphurnia had
showed them back under the bed so that
he had to sweep around wildly for them
with the broom-handle? And when
