Worth of a Good Namo.

A man ola very pleasing address, but
very dishonest in his practices, once said
to an honorable merchant, "I would give
City thousand pounds for your good
name I"
"Wby so'" asked tho olhCi in some
surprise.

thousand pounds of it,"
The honorable character, which was at
tbC bottom Of tho good name, be cared
nothing foE it was only the reputation,
whiob he could turn 10 account in a mon-
oy, point Of view, which he coveted,
But good name cannot bo bought with
silver; it, Of all other possessions, must DO
fairly earned, When it is possessed, it Is
bctor busiuos capital than great sum Of
money. LISA fortune any boy or girl
may secure. Honesty must be its founda-
tion, even in the smallest PARTICULARS -
When an employer says, "Thcre is a boy
| eau trust" that youth will always dod
himself in demand, provided he jains in'
dus'ry with honor, "lho hand of tho
diligent mnketh rich"
Itscoms hard at the timo, perhaps, to
be bound to a Ceaslcss rould Of work,
while other boys ore lOunging or playing
on the green. But the rewards will come
if you arc faithful. While idlers arc
dragging out a miserable life time in priv
ation and poverty, the hnrawOrking boy
lives at his ease, respected and houOrcd.
Remember that il you desire to mako
your way in The world, there is nothing
that can serve your purpose like a namo
for honesty aud industry; and you will
never acquire either if you are IOiterer
about the streets, and neglected. of your
business. "A good name is rather TO DO
chosen than great riches, aud loving favor
rather than silver and gold"

corsats Defended.

We know perfectly well that some persons
lace themselves too tight, although it il
not at present fashionable to do So We
know, too, that some women have serious
Lly injured their health, while some have
sacrificed life itself on the shrine of a
slender waist. But the wearing of the
corset does not commonly, end in tight
lacing; while lacing, and that too, OF a
very lurtful sort, may be, and very fire.
qaeatly is, accomplished without tho use
of corset at all. We have seen mems
clothing worn as tightly as any corset ever
was The condemnation Of tight Iaclng is
perfectly just, Of course, as everybody
having the smallest knowledge OF anatomy
knows. But many women who never lace
wear cOrsots, and derive great benefits from
their use. II is certainly very absurd TO
demand that these people shall foFeGo a
oomfort.giying article Of apparel merely
because tdey could turn it into an ios!ru'

cIothiug upon their shoulders is to give
themselves pain, and in order to divide it
they let part of their apparel depend upon
their hips for support To do this with
out q corset it would be necessary to wear
the garments altogether tighter about the
waist than they should be worn, aud to
bind them around a single narrow zone
which would &c both uncomfortable and

both the pressure aud the weight over the
strong muscles Of the hips, aud as it is
less yielding than tho flesh, Ob7ia'cs the

The Capitol Dome.

1t was a childish, if not a barbarOus
taste that erected the present dome; and
the confidence we have confessed in the
good sense and good taste of the public
at large will no doubt be justified when
we shall all see, what already a great
many see, that this is not architecture.
properly speaking, at all, but mere me
chanics, having no connection whatever
with the art of building, and no more ca
pable of exciting enthusiasm, in the mind
of a sincere person who knows what art
means, than the boiler of a steam engine
nor indeed so much; for the boiler is at
least real thing and not sham, it obeys
the laws of boiler construction, and it has
some honest work to do in the world and
does it.
The dome. on The contrary, is a sham.
It springs from well-built building of
white marble, and it passes itself of, to
people who do not know that such dome
could not be built of marble, for marble
dome, and by ninety-nine people out OF
every hundred who see it, it is believed to
be marble. And built of marble it should
have been, in which case there would
have been probably no disproportion be-
tween it and the building of which it is a
part, for the architect would not have set
himself task he could not perform, and
the natural limitations Of the structure
would have kept all in due proportion.
The moment, however, the architect per-
mitted himself to think of putting al iron
dome upon marble building, he was no
longer restrained by the law of the build
ing itself, which law should have had his
full allegiance, hut he felt himself at lit
erty to do whatever the laws of his new
material would permit, and there resulted
an immediate and fatal dispropertion
The dome is not only an excrescence,
having no structural relation to the build
ing proper-it is an ugly excrescence,
ugly in its lines, ugly in its dispropor-
ton, and we shall, we hope, live to see the
day when it will be taken down and
real dome be put up in its place.-Seri6-
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1873-02-08
The Habits of Literary Men.

There is good deal of curiosity among
literary men in regard to the habits OF
each other. Men who find their work
hard, their health poor, and their produc-
ton slow, are always curious concerning
the habits ofthose who accomplish great
deal with apparent ease. Some men do
all their writing in the morning. Some
of them even rise before their households,
and do their days work before breakfast.
Others do not feel like going to work I'M
til after breakfast and after exercise in the
open air. Some fancy that they can only
work in the evening, and some of these
must wait for their best hours until all
but themselves are asleep. Some cannot
use their brains ut all Immediately after
exercise. Some smoke while writing,
some write on the stimulus of coffee, and
some on that of alcohol. Irregularity
and strange whims are supposed to be
characteristic of genius. Indeed, it rather
tells against the reputation of a man to be
methodical i'll mis- habits of literary labor.
Men of this stripe are supposed to be me-
chanicsl plodders, without wings, and
without the necessity of an atmosphere
i'll which to spread them.
We know ofnO better g,lidein the estab-
tablishrnent of habits ofliteral y labor than
common sense. Aftera good nights sleep
and refreshing breakfast, a man ought to
be in his best condition for work. and he Is.
All literary men who accomplish much
and maintain their health do their work
in the morning, and do it every morning.
1t is the daily task. performed morning
after morning, throughout the year-care-
fully. conscieutiou-ly, Professionally that
tells in great results. Bat in order to
perform this task in this way, there must
lie regular habits of sleep, with which
nothing shall be permitted to interfere.
The man who eats late suppers, attends
