The Duty of a Woman to be a
LADY

Wildness is thing which girls can
not afford. Delicacy is thing which
cannot be lost and found. No art can
restore to the grape its bloom. Famil-
larity without love, without confidence.
without regard, is destructive to all
that makes woman exalting and en-
nObling.
"The world is wide, these things are small.
They may be nothing, but they are all.
Nothing? 1t is the first duty of a
is good sense. Bad manners in wO-
man is immortality. Awkwardness
may be ineradicable. Bashfulness is
constitutional. Ignorance of etiquette
is the result of circumstances. All can
be condoned, and not Danish man or
woman from the amenities of their
kind. But self-possessed, unshrinking,
and aggressive cGarseness of demeanOr
may be reckoned as State prison Of
fense, and certainly merits the mild
form of restraint called imprisonment
for life. 1t is shame for a woman to
be lectured on their manners. 1t is a
bitter shame that they need it. Women
are the umpires of society, 1t is they
to whom all mooted points should be
referred. To be lady is more than to
be prince. A lady is always in her
right inalienably worthy of respect.
To a lady, prince and peasant alike
bow. Do not be restrained. Do not
have the impulses that need restraint.
Do not wish to dance with the prince
Feel differently. Be such
that you confer honor. Carry your
selves so loftily that men shall look up
to you for reward, not at you in re-
buke. The natural sentiment of man
toward woman is reverence. He loses
q large means of grace, when he is
obliged to account her being to be
trained into propriety. A mans ideal
is not wounded when a woman fails in
wisdom; but if in grace, in
:act, in sentiment, in delicacy, in kind
ness, she should be found wanting, he
receives an inward hurt.-[ Gail Ham

Stay Ou the Farm.

The Rural NeW Yorker ia lks to the
farmers and farmers boys as follows:
If discontented farmers, farmers
wives, sons, daughters, who think the

part of the misery and apprehension
that haunt the hearts of ali classes and

these have aught laid up in Store.
Young women flock through the
streets with restless, eager. anxious
eyes, with lips quivering with fear lest
they fail to obtain employment that
shall give them food snd shelter, Bows
and girls of the country! be grateful
for plenty and Shelter. You will, per
haps, neverknow how to value it until
you want and cannot get either. How
many of these in the city are country
born; and how many would gladly 90

yet may not have the means to get
there! Farmers, thank God for the
harvests, and that you have unsold
food for your families! You have
reason!

THE ALDINE.-- Every issue of the
Aidifle is surprise to all who see it,
since it shows a positive growth in art,
beauty, and literature, from mouth to
mouth, as gratifying as it is wonderful.
"Superb" is the only word which fitly
characterizes the illustrations for the
September issue. The pictures are
charming in design and faultless in eX-
ecutiOn.
The Aldine Company has determin-
ed to establish an Art Union, similar to
the well-known Art Union i'm England,
and distribute its works of art, both
sculpture and paintings, which are con-
stantly collecting, among its subScri-
bers.
Subscription tickets, at $500 each,
entitle the holder to the Aldiae for a
year, to the new chrome, and to tick
ct in the distribution of art premiums.
The literary contents of the Septem-
Der Alcfine consists ofa poem by Eliza
beth Akers Allen; an admirable paper
on "English Landladies," by Mrs. M.
E. w. Sherwood" "The Story of the
Lightning" a poem by Edgar Faw-
cett; "At the Tomb" by Julia G. r..
Dorr; and Lincoln Cathedral, by Full
Ter Walker. The editorial articles up.
on music, art, literature, and descrip-
tive of the pictures, are filled with
fresh and valuable matter. The AL

THE unkindest cut of all relative to
the hopes and aspirations of the Dom
ocracy comes from the bright and shin
ing light of the Bourbon faith, the
Chicago Times. 1t says: ga number
of prominent Western politicians of
tie Democratic persuasion have been
in consultation at the White Sulpher
Springs as to an available candidate
for the Presidency in 1876 on the Dem

clusion that Governor Hendricks is not
available, and settled upon Roaring
Bill Allen, of Ohio, as the coming man
who shall lead the Democratic hosts to
glory and the grave Bill Allen is an
old 'war-horse of Democracy In ages
past tradition tells US that he was sta
tiioned off the coast of Rho de Island to
warn vessels from the rocks In lieu of
fog-horn. His age is great; his lung.
power greater; his Democracy of the
most approved 'rock-rooted' descrip-
ton; his blooded bulls always take the
highest prizes at county fairs, and his
daughter is the wife of one United
States Senator, and his granddaughter

States, and would give his life to over.
throw it, evidently struck responsive
chord in the hearts of his admiring dis
ciples of the South. The late chair
man of the Democratic State Executive
Committee of Alabama says: "We
stand squarely with Gen. Toombs, as a
matter of personal sentiment and prin-
ciple." Toombs also denounces ''as ut
terly fraudulent the infamous amend
mentS" to the Constitution, which
made the former slaves freedmen, and
guaranteed them the political rights to
which freemen are entitled. 1t is now
proposed to run this blazing firebrand
for Governor of the State at the next
election, and it is predicted by the Au-
gusta 'COnstitutionalist that she will
be very hard to defeat by any body, for
he is popular and is liked and admired
by the people of Georgia as but few men
ever were." Treason is hot accounted
particularly "odious" among the De-
mOcracy of the Southern States nor,
for that matter, among their brethren
of the North, either.

and wounding the other two, one NOR

the river two miles and killed. The

The CIRCUIT COURT
was in session at this place. On the as
sembling of the Court this morning
several speeches were made by the
members of the bar denouncing the
conduct of the disguised men, who
were from the country, and urged up
On the Judge to give the grand jury an
extra bhBrge, ordering them to send
out for witnesses along the road from
here to Pickettsville, in order to arrest
and punish the criminals. While the
charge was being delivered, runners
arrived in hot haste with the report
that large body of negroes, well arm
ed, were marching to Trenton, which
caused the adjournment of Court.
Scouts were sent out, but returned, re-
porting all quiet.
There is no mistake but that the ne
grOes are well organized in this country,
and ready for action at a moments
warning. Two companies from Union
City have arrived here. Other dispatch
es report everybody under arms.

Destroying CurculiOs.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph says: have seen various
methods for keeping those insects off
plum trees, but none so simple, nor yet
so effectual as the following: Soak corn
cobs in sweetened water until thorough
ly saturated, and then suspend them to
the limbs of a tree little while after
blossoming, being sure to burn the cobs
after the fruit ripens, as they will be
found full of young insects. A good
plan is to change the cobs every few
weeks, My theory Is this: thatthe in
sects deposit their eggs in the cobs in
preference to doing so in the young
plums. The first season tried it up
on one or two only, and in the summer
was rewarded by good crop of as fine
plums as ever ripened, while those on
the other trees fell off when about half
grown. Next spring found sweetned
corn cobs dangling from the limbs of
all my plum trees, and the summer
found them full of delicious fruit"

ey the waters are whirling and eddy.
| ing above vortex thut lets them down
into some subterranean channel, but
| farther down the walk that lies along
the cliff, you behold them tossing and
foaming on their turbulent way to the
placid lake. These points were all we
could visit before dark, and we drove
back to the hotel, which we reached at
nightfall. When we got back the band
was playing operatic airs on the lower
balcony, and crowds of fashionably
dressed people were prOmenading the
sidewalks and the brilliantly lighted
bazaars, and threnging the parlors of
the hotel. This was kept up late at
night, and when we went to our room
the sound of music and the hubbub of
happy voices softly blended with the
roar of the cataract, to which sweet
sounds we fell asleep.
AS we were to leave next morning
at $3.50, we got up early and walked
over to Goat Island. On this Island
are many fine views of the Falls and
the Rapids. Here is the point from
which venturesom5 travellers descend

very anxious to make the descent, but
my companion suggested that we
would not have the time, so we reluc-
tantly turned away from the house
where you are prepared for the de-
scent. Looking over the precipice at
Luna Island, we got a fine view of the
bridges by which you pass underneath
to the perilous point where it is said
the wind takes the breath, and one is
filed with such terror that only strong
nerves should undertake the dangerous
journey.
By the time we had made the circle
round the north and of the Island, our
time was up, end we turned sorrowful-
ly and regretfully away. On our way
down to Lewistown, from the rear
platform of the car we caught distant
gl;mpses of the glories we had lett be-
hind, and saw on bold promontOry,
called the Heights of Queenstown, the
magnificent monument to Gen. Brock,
who fell in the war of 1872. 1t is 1856
feet high, and is seen from far out in
Lake Ontario. Adieu. G..

THE Kansas Republican State Con-
vention met at Topeka, Wednesday,
18th. Among the resolutions adopted
were ones declaring embezzlement to
be theft and demanding its punish
ment as such, favoring the transfer of
the Indians to the War Department,
because the "peace policy" had proven
failure. The financial resolutions on
ly requested the making of national
banking free to all, and approved a
currency based upon specie. A revis-
ion of the patent laws was demanded
in order to break up monopolies. Rail-
road corporations were declared to be
creatures of the State and subject to the
legislation governing them. The third
term was most emphatically declared
against.
