You can't convince Vermont

1t is observed that at the fash

A lady barber mas been driven
out of Dubuque by the married la
dies Of that place. The latter
thought she scraped acquaintance
too easily.
Women have become 80 plenty
in Nevada that a cross-eycd female
with her front teeth out is allowed
to shoulder her own trunk and car
ry it to the hotel
Clara Morris Is engaged 10 be
married, but will not leave the stage
in consequence. She says: Il do
not think God gives talents in one
special direction unless he intends
them to be used; and mean to use
mine as long as | possess them"
What can be more startling than
to see q delicate and fascinating
young lady with u long train sud
| denly turn around, without giving
the unsuspecting individual behind
her any warning whatever, gentle
stoop, reach back with her right
! foot and kick desperately? She is
going to cross the street, and is
merely switching off her train for
the new direction.
SUDDEN DEATH OF a YOUNG LA
DY WHILE SINGING. Miss Mary
Louise Hurlburt, daughter of Rev.
Victor NJ. Hurlburt, of Hone Ridge,
n. Y. burst a blood vessel in the
brain while singing in the choir of
the Reformed Dutch Church, at
that place, on Sunday morning, and
expired short time after. She
was singing duet, several Of the
notes of which were in q high key.
She sang them in a voice unusually
strong and clear, and then sank
back in her brothers arms insensi-
BILE, and was soon dead.
Every body in Paraguay smokes,
and every female above the age OF
IL chews. | am wrong; they do not
chew, but put tobacco in their
mouths and keep it there constant
ly, except when eating, and instead
Of chewing, roll it about and suck
it. Only imagine yourself about
to salute the red lips of a magniti-
cent little Hebe, arrayed in satin
and flashing with diamonds, as she
puts you back with one delicate
hand, while with the other she
draws forth from her mouth a brown
ish- black roll of tobacco quite two
inches long, looking like a monster
grub, and then, depositing the saw
DRY lozenge on the brim of your
sombrero, puts up her face and is
ready for a salute. However, one
soon gets used to this in Paraguay
where you are perforce of custom
obliged to kiss every lady you are
introduced to.
Wildness is thing which girls
cannot afford. Delicacy is a thing
which cannot be lost and found
No art can restore to the grape its
bloom. Familiarity without love,
without confidence, without regard,
is destructive to all that makes wo.
man cxalting and ennobling.
The world is wide, these things are small;
ihey may be nothing, but they are ALL
Nothing? 1t is the first duty of Il
woman to be "a lady. Good breed
ing is good sense, Bad manners in
woman is immortality. Awkward
ness may be ineradicable. Bash
fulness is constitutional. Igno-
rance of etiquette is the result of
circumstances. All can be condor
ed, and do not Danish man or wo-
man from the amenities Of their
kind. But self-possessed, unshrink- |
ing and aggressive coarseness of de-
meanor may be reckoned as a state
prison .pfiense, and certainly merits
that mild form of restraint called I
imprisonment for life. 1t is a
shame for women TO be lectured on I
their manners. 1t is n bitter shame
that they need it. Women are the /
umpiros of society. 1t is they TO
whom all mooted points should be /.
referred. To be a lady is more than I
to 6e a prince. y lady is always !
in her right inalienably worthy OF |
respect. To u lady, prince and .
peasant alike bow, Do not be res.
trained. Do not have impulses /
that need restraint. Do not wish .
to dance with the prince unsought, /
feel differently. Be such that
you confer honor. Garry yourselves
so lottily that men shall look up to /
you for reGuke. The natural senti-
ment of man toward woman is rev.
erence. He loses large means Of
grace when he is obliged to account
her being to be trained into pro-
priety. A mans ideal is not wound.
I'd when u woman fails in worldly
wisdom; but if in grace, in tact, in
in delicacy, in kindness,
she should be found wanting, he re-
