For Eyery Man to Read.

We have probably all Of us met
with instances in which word heed
lessly spoken against the reputation
of a female has been magnifed by
malicious minds until the cloud has
been dark enough to overshadow her her
whole existenee. To those who are
accustomed, not necessarily from bad
motives, but from thoughtlessness' =
to.speak lightly Of ladies, we recon-
mend these hints as worthy of con-
sideration
Never use lady's name in I'M
proper places, at an improper time
or in mixed company. Never make
an assertion about her that you think
untrue, or illusions that you think
she he. self would blush to hear.
When you meet with men who do
not scruple to make use of woman's $
name in reckless and unprincipled
manner, shun them; they are the very
worst members of the community /;
men lost to every sense of honor,
every feeling of humanity. Many a
good and worthy woman's character
has besn forever ruined and her
heart broken by lie manufactured
by some william and repeated where
it shouldsnot have been, and in the
presence OF those whose little judg-
ment could not deter them from cir
culating the foul and Dragging report;
A slander is soon propagated, and
the smallest thing derogatory to a
woman's character will fly on the
wind and magnify as it ,irculates'
until its monstrous weight crushes
the poor unconscious victim. Respect
the name Of woman; your mother
and sisters are women, and as you
would have their fair names untar-
nished, and their lives unembittered
by the slanderer's tongue, heed the
evils your words may bring upon the
mother, the sister or the wife Of some
of your fellow.creatures.

Carving a Turkey.

There is nothing, says Max Adeler,
young unmarried man likes better
than to go to dinner at the house Of
a friend and to be asked to carve
turkey. He never carved turkey
in his life, and with an old maid on
one side of him, watching him close.
ly, and on the other side a fair girl
for whom he has a tenderness, he
feels embarrassed when he begins.
First he pushes the knife down to-
ward one of the thigh-joints. He
cam find the joint, and he plunges
the knife around in search of it until
he makes mince- meat out Of one
whole quarter of the fowl. Then be
sharpens his knife, and tao kles it
again. At last, while making a ter
n6c dig he hits the joint suddenly,
and the leg flies into the maiden
lady's lap, while her dress front is
covered with a shower Of stufing
Then he goes for the other leg, and
when the young lady tells him he
looks warm. the weather seems to
him suddenly to become four hundred
degrees warmer. This leg he finally
pulls loose with his fingers. He lays
it on the edge of the plate, and while
he is hacking at the wing he gradu,
ally pushes The leg over or the clean
table cloth, and when he picks 1t up
it slips from his hand into the gravy.
DISH and splashes the gravy around
for six square yards. Just as he has
made up his mind that the turkey
has no joints to its wings the host
asks him if he thinks the Indians can
really be civilized The Girl next
to him laughs, and he says he will
explain his views upon TIE subject
after dinner. Then he sops lis brow
with his handkerchief ard' presses
the turkey so hard with the Iork that
it slides off the dish and upsets a
goblet of water on the girl next to
him. Nearly frantic, lie gouges away
again at the wings, gets them Oft in a
INITIATED condition, and digs into
the breast. Before lie can cut any
off, the host asks him why he don't
help out the turkey.
Bewildcred, he puts both legs on a
plate and hands them. 10 the maiden
lady, and then he helps the young girl
to plateful Of stuthhg, and while
taking her plate in return knocks
over the gravy-boat. Then he sits
down with the calmness of despair
and fans himself witha napkin, while
the servant girl clears up and takes
the turkey to the other end Of the
table. He doesn' discuss the Indian
question that day. He goes home
right alter dinner, and spends the
! night trying to decide whether tc
commit suicide or to take lessons in

The next morning awoke with a

here on the top shelf; doubtless it

great cry as Mrs. Mackenzie's shawl

Not Ready TO Die.

The following is no fabrication of
an irrcverent secular Journal, but

were muddy, and he was just at the
time about entering miry bottom.
With the politeness for which he is
noted, he asked the pedestrian Gan
entire strangely if he would not take
seat in the buggy until, at least
they had crossed the mud and the
mire. The Invitation was readily ac-
cepted, and the conversation for a
time was free and easy, about things
ordinary and general. Presently,
however, the good brother, with a
view to make the conversation prof.
table, asked the. stranger I! he a0as

him to a seat with him.. and misap-
pretending his meaning and suspect

but sprang from the buggy immedi-
ately and ran for life through slush
and water. The clerical brother,
wishing to assure the stranger that
he meant no harm, called to him at
the top of his voice to stop. But
this only fastened his speed, and,
like scared hare he ran until be-
yond hearing and sight. In his hasty
flight he left his carpet sack, which

disappearing in Boys Clothes.

A correspondent at Little Rock,
Ark. writes: That a marshal has just
returned from Allenville, Mo-, hav.
ing in his custody young girl named
Mollie Sherwood, who for intervals
during the past two years has been
passing for boy under the name OF
Bill Henderson. About two years
ago her parents. residing in Cape g.
rardeau, died. She was then thirteen
years old, and her two brothers plac-
ed her out to work in hotel OF AL
lenville. Becoming tired of this en-
ployment, she donned boys clothing,
called herself Bill Henderson, and
applied for and received situation
as post-boy to carry the mail to and
from Allenville. For one year, un-
suspected, she fulfilled the functions
of this post. Then her sex was sus-
pected, and at Allenville she was
placed under arrest and compelled to
wear the female garb. After this she
tried working in hotel as maid SER
want, but soon tiiang of this, again
resumed the trousers and worked as
a farm hand. Subsequently she came
to Augusta, in this State, as dro.
vers assistant, and thence went to
Jacksonport to work in livery sta
bic. After awhile, the men and boys
about the stable, believing her to be
woman, began to call her names,
and, as she says, in order to get away
from the place, she took certain hors-
es belonging to the stablemen and
made off with them. The marshal
followed her and overlook her with
the horses at Allenville and arrested
her on a charge of horse stealing.
The people there knew her well and
were inclined to prevent the officers
from arresting her. Pistols were
drawn on both sides, but finally the
girl went of her own free will with
the marshal. She is now in the Jack
Sonport jail awaiting trial ter. horse

The Ballad of Farmer Brown.
A SONG FOR THE TIMES, WITH MORAL

A SONG FOR THE TIMES, WITH A MORAL.
Old farmer Brown came into the house,
And wrathfuEy slammed the door,
And Topped himself down into chair,
And topped his hat on tho floor.
For farmer Brown was dreadfully wroth,
And his dander it was up;
And he looked around with an angry
scowl. *
And wrathfully kicked the pup.
"Pm tired from head to foot, he said,
"And hungry as kin be;
I'd like to have mouthful to eat
Is dinner most ready?" said he.
The farmers wife she was pale and thin,
a. And hungry and wan was she;
And her eve was dim and her step was
slow,
And hef dress was u sight to see.
"Your dinner is ready" she meekly SAID
"And the dodgers is smoking hot.
But I'VE scraped the meal all out OF the
box,
And the last jints jest from the pot"
"a The mischief you haver' said farmer
Heaying a doleful sigh;
"Thar's plenty of bacon and corn in town,
And I've 20 money to buy"
Tn smoke the farmers daughter, Marier-
And she hadn't spoke before;
aThar's cotton out under the She'd" said
she,
"Some dozen bales or more"
"Cotton, the devil,' said farmer Brown,
/Tx,. xlraodf,llxy 1t,rNnn RI Sxx-oarA
"My cotton's all mortgaged for last years
work
With never a bale to spare"
"Wer, then," his daughter upspoke
"If that won't do for feed,
You've two or three wagon loads or more
OF Dickson's Prolific seed"
"Do you think me beasts" said farmer
Brown,
"pm neither cow nor steer;
And what if I WASP I've hardly enough
OF. seed to plant this year."
"Then,n said his daughter, Marier, again,
"Thar's guano, lots" she safd,
"Thar's twenty sacks full into the barn,
And barrels under the shed.
"eluanop Oh, Ludp said farmer Brown.
~ need all the precious stuff
TO put on my cotton land this year,
And then not have enough"
But when the farmer had eaten his all.
he fell into thought profound,
And smoking his tobacco, which cost at
least
Some ninety cents per pound.
Then he muttered-"T Thar's something
wrong
About nv farming, swear
We don't have even enough to eat,
Nor half enough to wear!
"My mules are starving almost to death,
NY COWS are dreadfully thin;
Thar's hardly an ear of corn in the cr10,
And marry oat in the bin!
"The times amt like they once have been,
When was young and spry;
We had fat horses and mules ia the lot,
And fat hogs left in the sty.
"My cribs were always chock full OF corn,
NY smoke-house groaned with meat;
We had plenty of clothes to wear,
And always had enough to eat.
"By jings! Tll ehangemy habits at once,
From woeful experience learn
This year my cotton I'll plant in patch,
And plant my fields in corn"
MORAL.
All you whose farms are going to wreck,
Who've neither corn nor meat
Just make the resolve of farmer Brown,
And 60 for something to eat
