The Duty of woman TO be a Lady.

Wildness is a thing which girls cannot
afford. Delicacy is thing which can
not be lost and found. No art can re-
store to the grape its bloom. Familiarity
without love, without confidence, without
regard, is destructive TO all that makes
woman exalting and ennobling.
1.-THE world is wide, these things are small;
Tasy make me nothing, but they are all"
Nothing2 1t is the first duty of wo-
man to be a lady. Good breeding is
immortality. Awkwardness may be inc
radicable. Bashfulness is constitutional.
Ignorance of etiquette is the result of
circumstances. All can be condoned,
and do not Danish man or woman from
the amenities Of their kind. But self
possessed, unshrinking and aggressive
coarseness of demeanor may be reckoned
as State prison offense, and certainly
merits the mild form of restraint called
Imprisonment for life. 1t is shame for
women to be lectured on their manners.
1t is 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
ledy 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 un-
sought Feel differently. Be such that
you confer honor. Garry yourself so
loftily that men shall look up to you for
reward, not at you in rebuke. The natu-
raj sentiment Of man toward woman is
reverence. He loses large means of
grace, when he is obliged to account her
a being to be trained into propriety. A
man ideal is not wounded when wo-
man fails in worldly wisdom; but if in
grace, in fact, in sentiment, in delioacy,
in kindness, she should be found want.
ing he receives an inward hurt. - Gail

The Guardian Rat.

In the "early days" San Francisco
was completely overrun with rats. 1t
was common thing to see them running
through the streets in every direction. 1
have often heard "49-er' tell Of his ex-
perience with one, and / have every rea-
son to believe in the truthfulness of his
statement. His place of business was
on the wharf, somewhere near what is
now the corner Of Montgomery and
Washington streets, location very ia
vorably to the species Of rodent under
discussion. AS was very common in
those days, my informant slept in the
store. There were numerous traps set
to catch rats, and one day on entering
ms place Of business, his attention was
called 10 an immense gray rat struggling
IN trap. Some sudden impulse seized
MN to set 1t at liberty; he said he thought
It's apparent age and venerable appear
ance influenced him. When freed, it did
not Immediately leave his presence, but
remained for some time, and accented
food from his hands. After this. the rat
put in an appearance daily, always re-
ceiving food and making demonstrations
of pleasure at his presence.
One night he was awakened from a
sound sleep by gentle but impetuous
scratching of his head. He was at first
alarmed, thinking it supernatural visi-
tation; but recovering himself he set
about ascertaining the source of this dis
turbance. At this time his attention
was drawn to noise that he was soon
convinced was caused by an attempt to
file strong bolt by which the door was
secured, in addition to the lock. Rising
softly, be put his revolver to the keyhole
and fred, an exclamation and groan
told that execution had been done. On
lighting candle, he discovered his friend,
the rat, sitting on his pillow and wagging
his tail, with every appearance of ex-
IRENE satisfaction. Daylight revealed
a pool of blood, and tracks showing that
body had been removed by more than
one person, and by following up the case
it was ascertained that well-arranged
plot to rob and murder had been frus-
trated by timely warning of the old gray
rat

Beef is selling at retail in Memphis at
from twelve to twenty cents per pound,
but why should it sell at that price is
not very clear from the following story:
A planter residing in Arkansas, fifty
miles up the river, shipped two fat steers
TO his commission merchant in this city
yesterday to be sold in the market. The
steers would weigh each net about
five hundred pounds. The returns of
the csttle-yard man were as follows !:
Cattle sold for $l5.25 and freight, com.
missions and charges being deducted
it left just $40 as the price for which
each steer sold for in the Memphis mar
ket-about half a cent pound The
reason of this was stated by the cat
tle.yard man to be that jlst nov
the Memphis meat market is glutted will
beef, and there ere several hundred heaC
of cattle in the city which cannot be solC
at any price, and in consequence cattle
are shipped away every day in order t.
keep them from eating their heads off il
the Bluff City. The man with an ele
plant ON his hands has heretofore de-
manded sympathy. but this elephant
man could exhibit his stock and perhaps
collect enough to feed the beast. The
man with steer on his hands is in no
such condition; he cannot sell it as beef,
and is unable to feed it forever. The
hide, hoofs, tallow and horns are GER
tainly worth more than two dollars and
fifty cents, even if beef is worth nothing
in the Memphis market. Beef should be
sold for song, but you will have to sing
to the tune Of from twelve to twenty
cents pound before you can secure a
steak in our markets. Why is this?
Has steer no rights that market people
are bound to respect2 House-keepers,
if they have an eye to business, should
buy steer, kill and eat it. Think of a
years supply for two dollars and fifty
cents Every man his own butcher and
owner of his own steer, should be the
motto on the bluffs at present.

Coal OIL Accident.

Yesterday Mrs. John Court, residing
on the corner of Bull Run and Alabama
streets, attempted TO light fire by
pouring on it oil from can. The can
ignited and blazed up furiously, from
which Mrs. Courts dress caught fire i'm
mediately. She was so seriously burned
that her life is despaired of. Mr. Court,
who went to her rescue and endeavored
to extinguish the flames, received severe
burns on the arms, face and breast,
from which he is suffering. The la
mentable accident is another warning as
to the careless use of that dangerous
compound known as coal oil.
