STANDARDIZED use lady's
name in an improper place, at an i'm
proper time or in mixed company.
Never make assertions about her
that you think untrue, or illusions
that she herself would blush to hear.
When you meet with men who do
not scruple to use woman's name
in a reckless manner, shun them !;
they are the very worst members of
the community; men lost to every
sense of honor, every feeling of hu-
mainly. Many good and worthy
woman's character has been forever
ruined and her heart broken by a
lie, manufactured by some william,
and repeated where it should not
have been, and in the presence of
those whose little judgment could
not deter them from circulating the
foul and Dragging report. A SANDER
is soon propogated, and the smallest
thing derogatory to a woman's char
aeter will fly On the wings of the
wind and magnify as it circnlates,
until its monstrous weight brushes
the unconscious victim. Respect the
name Of woman. Your mother and
sisters are women, and as you would
have their fair name untarnished,
and their lives unembittered by the
slanderer's bitter tongue, heed the
ill your own words may bring upon
the mother, the sister or the wife of
some fellow creature.

Life would be impracticable unless
it were the primary rule to believe
what is told us. There is not sim
gle relation in adult life in which we
are not compelled to depend upon
word Of another-of husband, a
wife, a friend, an agent. We believe
certain things respecting them-in
their honor, their chastity, their af-
lection, their faithfulness. To what
kind of condition would life be re-
duced if we were to apply to these
matters "the universal duty of ques-
tioning all that we believer" In
some, at all events, of these rela-
tions, it may be observed. it is in the
nature of the case impossible that
we should have sufficient evidence !
for our belief. It is an unquestion-
able fact that many a man who has
for years borne an unexceptionable
character, has proved faithless; and
it is quite impossible I can be sure
upon grounds of evidence respecting
any particular man that he is incap-
able of this business. But the first
condition of genuine and honorable
friendship is to believe this, to re-
fuse to entertain doubt of it, and,
if need be, to uphold a friends hon
or until he is absolutely proved dis
honorable. With respect to trust
exercised in commercial relations, it
might perhaps be said that it is a
mere application Of the principle Of
probabilities. As a matter of expe-
rience if customers are trusted, the
majority Of them will fulfill their en-
gagements. It may be doubted
&
whether tradesmen really do act in
practice on this mere calculation of
probabilities; but at all events the
principle does not apply to the other
relations Of life just referred to. It
would be an insult to friend to say
that you trusted and loved him be-
cause you thought it more probable
he was true than that he was false.
He expects from you, as the primary
condition Of true friendship, that
you believe firmly concerning him
that Of which you cannot possibly
have certain evidence Contempt

MYSTERY OF DREAMs.-It is related
that a man fell asleep as the, clock
tolled the first stroke of twelve. He
awakened to hear the echo of the
twelfth stroke die away, having, in the
interval, dreamed that he committed a
crime, was detected after five years,
tried, and condemned; the shock of
finding the halter about his heck
aroused him to consciousness, when he
discovered that all these events had
happened in an infnitesimal, fragment
of time. Mohammed, wishing to illus
trate the wonders of sleep, told how q
certain man, being a sheik, found him.
self, for his pride, made poor fisher
man; that he lived as one for sixty
years, bringing up family and work
ing hard; and how, upon waking up
from this long dream, so short time
had he been asleep, that the. narrow
necked gourd bottle filled with water,
which he knew he overturned as he fell
asleep had not time in. which to empty
itself. How fast the soul travels when
the body is asleep! Often, when We
awake, we shrink from going back, in
to the dull routine of a sordid exist
ence, regretting the pleasanter life of
dreamland. How is it that sometimes
when we go 0 to strange place, we
fancy that we have seen it beforeq Is
it possible that when one has been
asleep the soul has floated away, seen
the place, and has that memory of it
which SO surprises usf In word,

Lola Montez was a latterday bGS

of fathers, her liberality of moral
style and action was about her only

preston, fine eyes and multitudinous

won half the hearts of Paris, and
married a onarch-the art-mad
Ludwig. She lived then as beggar

succeeded admirably in running her
husband to the ragged edge Of ruin,
from which he was only saved by his
people, who threatened revolution if
she were not expelled from the king

The reason for their non-appearance in

get the proceedings Of the meeting. We
applied for them, Monday morning, early,
and was informed that they had been
given to the propretors Of the Argus.
and that they declined to give them up
to Mr. Chaplin the clerk of the meeting,
TO appear in this paper. If it was the
wish of the Society that they should be
published in our paper, it was no more
tnan courtesy, as our paper is issued
Tuesday morning, and the Argus on the
Thursday following. that we should have
had the privilege of copy Of the pro,
ceedings on application, and it seems to
us, but we may be mistaken, that an I'm
migration Society, in Crawford County,
to be success, should have the active
support Of everyone 1t is possible that
the short-sighted policy adopted in this
particular, may succeed in doing all that
the projectors of the Society desire, but

In announcing this volume. the publishers
have no hestancy in declaring it to be one OF
the most original, unique, piquant and enter
tanning OF all Mark Twain's works. The ge-
MUS requisite to render the written adven-
lures OF u boy overwhelmingly fascinating to
grown up readers Is possessed but by few and
challenges the deepest admiration. That Mr..
Clemens has this, is evident from the burst of
enthusiastic praise with which the pnblica-
ton of Tom. Sawyer in England has been
received. No words have seemed too strong
to express the pleasure felt at this fresh e :
hibition Of the authors powers exerted In a
direction least expected. In entering the
new field here introduced, Mr.. Clemens BY no
means abandons his old style OF writing. as
will be realized at once In the perusal Of the
book From beginning to end, the pages OF

particulars we have are very meagre.
Both of the parties lived on the farm OF
Mrs. Bess, joining that Of F. r. McKib-
ben, at Line City, joining the Cherokee
Nation in this county.
We can learn of no difficulty between
them and Shultz was powing in the
field when Harvey came upon him with
a double -barrelod shotgun, and shooting
killed him dead, and then made his es-
cape into the Cherokee Nation. liar
vey has family living on Mrs. Bess'
place. and will not, probably, stay away
long. A writ for his arrest is in the
hands Of officers who are on the lookout
for him
