| Vice President Wilson was engaged to be
married to a lady formerly of Pulaski, but
now of Williamson county. Their VOWS
| covery of his health. They first met in
Washington, and have ever since kept up a
constant and most agreeable correspondence.
The main object of the Vice Presidents visit
here last spring was to see her. The lady is
one of the most highly cultured and wealthy
ladies in the South. 1t was the intention of
Mr.. Wilson to come South this week il his
illness had abated.-AnIeg1cda
We must measure the strength of man
by the power of the feelings he subdues, not
by the power of those that subdue him
And hence cOmposure is often the highest
anguish stand as If carved ont of solid rock
mastering himself? Or one bearing hope
leSs DAILY trial remain silent, and never
teH the world what cankered his home
peace? That is strength. We too often mis-
take strong feelings for strong character. A
who bears all before him, before whose
frown domestics tremble, and whose bursts
OF fury make the children of the household
quake, because he has his own way in all
truth is, that he is a weak man; it is his pas
weak.
1t now appears that some of the striped
stockings so much worn by females contain
poison IN their colOrS, which exercises a
most deleterious upon the wearer. A chem
list, who has given the subject scientific at
tention, says that in Chicago alone there are
no less than 5000 persons who are being slow
ly but surely poisoned. Making due allow
ance for this statement, there is that in the
subject that demands the consideration of
those who wear the gaudy stockings now so
fashionable. The dyes used are of the ami |
line order, into which arsenic enters largely |
as constituent part, because it is cheaper
than chloride OF potash, peroxade of lead,
nOcent articles which would answer equally
as well. The chemist in question gives il as
his opinion that there should be some law
by which the poisoning of clothing could be
prevented. The use of arsenic i'll any ofthe |
dyes should be made a crime, and we think |
that all will agree to the correctness of his |
views.
The following, from a lady who seems to |
be thoroughly posted in the sex, should be |
read by every MauEy county girl. 1t is |
worth volumes of fiction and sentimental |
ism: Men who are worth having, want wO- |
men for their wives. \ bundle of gew-gaws, |
bounded with a string of flaps and quavers, |
sprtnkled with cologne and set in a carmine |
is no help for a man who ex- |
poets to raise family of boys on bread and |
meat. The piano and lace fabrics are good |
IN their places, and so are the frills and tin |
sells; but you cannot make a dinner out of |
the former, nor bed blanket of the latter; |
and awful as such an idea may seem TO you, |
both the dinner and bed blanket are neces- |
SaFy TO domestic happiness. Life has its re- |
Antics as well as its fancieS, but you make it |
remembering the taSsels and |
curtains, but forgetting the bedstead. Sup
pose man of good sense and good prospects |
10 be looking for wife, what chance would |
y GU have to be chosen? You may catch him,
or you may trip him, but how much better |
To make IL an object to catch you. Render |
yourself worth catching, and you will not |
need shrewd mother to help you find a |
market
