For some time past q man by the name

officers of York, arrived in this city with
requisition from Governor Hartranft
of Pennsylvania, and after arriving here
he proceeded to Middletown, and calling
upon Governor Cochran, obtained the
necessary papers to convey his prisoner
back to York. After he arrived back
from Middletown, he repaired to the po-

"The rules of politeness are never
at variance with the principles OF
morality. Whatever is really i'm
polite is really immoral. We have
no right to offend people by our
manner or conversation. We have
no right to be Influenced by gossip
about the people we meet. Their
private affairs are none of our bust
ness. If we believe a man to be I'M
fit company for us, we must not in
vite him; but if we meet him where
be has been invited by others, we
must treat him with civility. If we
know a man or woman to be a grave
offender we cannot use that knowl-
edge to injure him or her, unless it
is absolutely nee,lful for the pro-
lection of others. The greatest and
best men in the world have been as
sailed with calumny. The purest
and noblest do not always escape it.
We cannot investigate, as rule !:
We must disregard all ISLANDERS.
Where great ofienses become noto-
rious, the offenders must be excom-
municated. In all other cases we
must give every one the benefit of
a doubt, apply charitable construc-
ton, hope for the best and, con-
slider every one innocent until he is
proven guilty"

An Old-time Girl.

We saw he- on the street yester-
day. She wore a neatly fitting,
plainly cut, and modestly-trimmed
calico dress. Her modest face
beamed with youth and beauty be-
meath the graceful folds of a gauzy
green veil, and Aher rosy cheeks
shone through it like pair of large
cherries. She didn't carry one half
of her dress in her hand high up
to crafty the vulgar gaze of black
guards, or to draw forth ludicrous
and ungentlemanly remarks of cor
ner loafers. Nor was she pinned
back so tight she couldn't step, and
her heels didn't kick her tilter as
high as the small of her back. She
didn walk like q mule with loose
set of harness on and flies bad. No;
she wasn't dressed in style calcu-
lated to attract the attention of any
but true gentlemen. And of these
she commanded the utmost respect,
and it was paid her by all who in
admired her.-Vox Populi.

Asking Her Husband.

''Well, John, what did they do at
church meeting tonight ?"
ooh, not much; business dragged"
"GoOd many there ?'
"About the same as usual"
''But didn't they do anything about
the furnace q"
eyes; committee was appointed to
see about it,"
Poor Mrs. Ellis signs and wishes she
could know just one thing somebody
said. She tries more direct line of
questioning.
"What did deacon Jones say ?"
"Oh, the deacon was on the opposite
side, as usual"
"Opposite side of what ?''
"Well, almost everything that was
proposed"
"Can you tell one thing?" Mrs. FL
lis tone shows little irritation.
John looks at his wife in astonish-
ment. Poor fellow! He thinks he has
answered every single question she has
asked, and what is there to be cross
about?'
says, more gently:
"What was the principal thing that
deacon Jones opposed ?"
81 don't know that 1 can TELL" says
John, slowly. ale seemed just as much
opposed to enc thing as another"
In silence Mrs. Ellis watches the ro-
guish flames as they laugh at her among
the bright Goals, while John becomes
absorbed in a newspaper.
o Paul, Paul if you had only known
what hard time the poor women would
have of it, you would never have said
that they must ask their husbands at

LADIES COLUMN.
HARoLrNE HAROLD, EDITOR.
To Young Ladies.

The pastor of a church in one
of our largest cities, said to me not
long ago: 81 have OBLIGATED at for
ty weddings since 1 came here, and
in every case, save one, | felt the
bride was running an awful risk.
Young men of bad habits and fast
tendencies never marry girls of their
own sort, but demand a wife above
suspicion. Some pure sweet wo-
man, kept from the touch of evil
through the years of their girlhood,
give themselves, with all their cost
ly dover of womanhood, into the
keeping of men of base associations,
who have learned to undervalue all
that belongs to them, and then find
no time for repentance in the sad
after years. There is but one way
out of this that ] can see, and that
is for you-the young women of the
coIntry-to require in association
and marriage, purity for purity, So
briefly for sobriety, and honor for
honor. There is no reason why the
young men of this christian land
should not be just as virtuous as
its young women, and if the loss of
your society and love be the
price they are forced to pay for
vice, they will not pay it. l admit
with sadness, that not all our young
women are capable of this high
standard for themselves or others,
but l believe there are enough earn
ect, thoughtful girls in the society
of our country to work wonders, if
faithfully aroused. Dear girls, will
you help us in the name of Christi
Will you, first of all, be true to
yourselves and God; so pure in
your inner and outer life that you
shall have a right to ask that the
young men with whom you associ-
ate, and especially those you marry,
shall be the same? The awful gulf
of dishonor is close beside your
feet, a1d in it fathers, brothers,
lovers, and sons are going down.
Will you not help US in our great
work?-From Harper's."
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1877-01-25
Remedy for Trouble.

Work is your true remedy. If
misfortune hits you hard, you hit
something else hard; pitch into
something with a will. There's
nothing like good exhausting work
to cure trouble. If you have met
with losses, you don't want to lie
awake and think about them. You
want sleep-calm, sound sleep-and
to eat your dinner with appetite
But you can't unless you work. If
you say you don't feel like work, and
go loafng all day to tell Tom, Dick
and Harry the story of your woes,
you'll lie awake, and keep your wife
awake by your tossing, spoil your
temper and your beakfast next
morning, and begin tomorrow feel
ing ten times worse than you do to-
day. There are some great troubles
that only time can heal, and perhaps
some that never can be healed at all,
but, all can be helped by the great
panacea, work. Try it, you who are
afflicted. 1t is not a patent medi-
cine. 1t has proved its efficiency
since first Adam ard Eve left behind
them, with weeping, their beautiful
Eden. 1t is an efficient remedy
All good physicians in regular
standing prescribe it in cases of
mental and moral disease. 1t oper-
ates kindly as well, leaving no disa-
greeable seQuelo and we assure you
that we have taken a large quantity
of iG with most beneficial results
1t will cure more complaints than
any nostrum in the materia medica,
and comes nearer to being a "cure
ALP than any drug or compound of
drugs in the market, and it will not
sicken you if you do not take 1t SUI
gar coated.

A TOper's Experience.

viz: that no@one addicted to its use
could quit.
But, after terrible debauch, in a So
Der moment, / concluded that any man

to see which is the stronger; always
find my appetite demands it, but am
feeling. l set it aside and go away,
on top myself each time stronger. If
belonged to forty churches, I would
never partake of the Lords Supper so
long as they offer alcohol as the Blood
of Christ.
Any man can stop If he will say "No,
sir" to every enemy in the guise of a
friend who invites him to drink. At
first felt daily the craving: but instead
OF going to a grogshop or drug store,
would start for home as fast as could
walk, drink cup of coffee, eat a few
bites of bread, and return to my bust
ness. That stopped the craving at once.
Any man who says he can't quit. either
aas no desise to do so, or is so i'm beetle
in mind as to demand the immediate at
tention OF his friends.

The Tight COrsage.

The perfection of the art of dress
making has been attained to such a
degree that the corsage must fit
like wax. From the throat to the
bottom of the basque there must
be soft, graceful curve, unblem
ished by the shadow of a wrinkle.
What the natural form lacks in
roundness and symmetry must be
supplied by the most wonderful ar
tistic skill. High shoulders must
be made to take a graceful droop;
narrow chests must be given
breadth, until, like the great Ra
chefs, the contracted, bony, almost
deformed chest must be padded and
draped and disguised until it takes
the lines and curves or beauty. In
order to produce this perfectly fit
ting corsage soft kid, the exact
shape of the silk of the dress, is
sometimes used, but an accomplish
ed artist can fit the silk as smooth
" as the kid. In Paris the leading
modistes say that the demand for
novelties and exaggerated, incom-
prehensible styles is so great that
dress making has become by far the
most exacting and difficult of the
arts. The restless, eager pursuit of
American women of fashion after
novel, striking combinations is such
as to tax even French ingenuity.

Mr.. Spicer's Experiment.

The subject, says the Boston
Commercial Bulletin, was the EN-
ployment of women as saleswomaD,
or ''salesladies, as the latest Gu
phemism has it.
Mrs. Spicer said she always
"hated to buy anything of a wo-
man"
"That is because one woman does
not know how to use another" said
Spicer; ''men have no difficulty in
dealing with shop-women; lemme
show you," and they entered the
toy store; he blandly approached
an apple faced girl, with faxen hair
done up in small plaits over her
forehead, and slightly raising his
hat asked to be shown some toys
suitable for child of three. APP
ple-face turned a cheap locket hang
ing at her neck, right side out,
smiled and said, "Yes, sir"
Spicer turned his eyes around in
triumph, but his ears unfortunately
heard the shop girl say, soto pocs:
Jenny, show this bald-headed
old noodle some cheap stuff. will
you; there's Jim Spooner jess come
in, and / want to see him."
Mrs. Spicel chuckled, and Spi
Ger thought they had better walk
on and see what there was &C the
further end OF the store.--Fr<s Press.

Woman.

A woman in a neighborhood is
only exceeded by another woman.
She can love truer or hate worse
than men of ordinary calibre.
She can make of home little
heaven or a little hell, on less cap
ital than any other business can be
carried on.
She can make ten or a hundred
dollar bill go up, o! SO quick.
She can drive a man out of
house if her tongue be working all
right quicker than Beast Butler
could get away with a set of
spoons.
She is better than pine or stone
coal for keeping a neighborhood
boiling hot, and home more unen-
durable than burn on your first
thumb joint; all the time making
you think she is a package of re-
fined innocence, saint, favora
BILE angelic advertising agent for
Gabriel.
She can kiss another woman
sweeter and talk about her worse
than one of these Reform Republi
cans can talk about the President.
And she knows more by intui-
ton of all the affairs of the neigh
borhood than Grant knows about
his relations or the postoffice pres
ents he receives, or is to!
She can he nicer to a woman she
hates than a carpet-bag politician
is to negro before he has voted.
She can walk further to display
new dress than loyal or disloyal
contraband could travel for chick
ems in the night.
And God love her, if she loves a
man, she will stick to him longer
than the Dent family will to the i'm
mortal speechmaker Ulysses!
Like dollars, good women are
hard to get, hard to keep, bother
some to look after, but here is
connundrum: How can we get
along without them?-Brick Pome-
row
