The following contains such whole
some advice to the female portion OF the
community, that we are constrained 10
lay it before our readers, that it may be
read and pondered over again and again
'I.adies-caged birds OF beautiful
plumage, but sickly looks pale pets OF
the parlor who vegetate in an unhealthy
atmosphere, like the potato terminating
in a dark cellar; why do you not 60 into
the air and warm sunshine, aud add lus-
trc to your steps, and yigor to your
frames Take early morning exercise,
let loose your corset strings and run up
the hills on a wager, and down again for
run. roam the fields, climb the fences,
leap the bitches, wade the brooks, and
after day of cxiTating exercise and
unresuained liberty, go home with an
appetite acquired by healthy enjoy
ment.
The blooming and beautiful young
lady-rosc checked and bright eyed
who earn darn a stocking, mend her
own lrocks, command regiment ogpots
aud kettles, feed the pigs, milk the COWS
and be a lady when required, is the gll
that young men are in quest Of for
wife. But you pining, screwed up,wasp
wasted, doll dressed, consumption
mortgaged, music numbering, and now
el deyouring daughters Of fashion and
idleness-you are no more fit for mat
rlmony than a pullet is to look after
brood Of fourteen chickens. The truth
Is, my dear girls, you want less OF FASH
iCnable restraint and more liberty OF
action. More kitchen and less parlor;
more pudding and less piano more
frankness and less mock modesty,
Loosen your waste strings and breathe
in the pure atmosphere, and become
something as good and beautiful as ma
ture designed.

4 Georgia Judge recently remarked
in court that lie saw a revolver protrud-
Ing from the pocket ola man in the
room. and further added that if he
would come forward and deposit the
weapon on bis desk, together with one
dollar bill. he would not have him ar
rested. The fine for carving concealed
weapons in Georgia is $50, and the man
who thought his weapon had been acs
cidentally discovered came forward and
deposited the ivory handled shooter >
and a dollar on the desk. But the
.Judge said he wasn't the person whom
he meant; that there was still another
man in tie room who carried pistol in
his pocket. Another lawyer came for
ward and made his deposit. He also
proved not to be the man referred to;
and one after another came forward and
placed their pistols, OF every style and
variety, on the desk in front OF the
Judge. until no less than twenty-one,
with as many 81 bills, were exposed 10
the view Of the audience. The Judge
then gave the offenders a sound lecture
on the cowardly habit of carrying con-
cealed weapons, after which the wheels
of justice were set going, and the law
yers settled down to business like lot
OF school boys who had just been pun
lshed for truancy.

A Tale OfHOrrOr.

And if man has been hanged, doc
tor. can he, too, be restored by heat p
asked the most inquisitive among them,
upon whom the new method for resus =
citating the drowned had an impress
sion.
The doctor, who lad never looked
better IN his life, answered mildly:
why not'
But what if his neck is broken p ask
ed a muscular reporter.
Hanging doesn't break mans neck. ,
Did you ever see a man hanged?' de-
mauded the youth with an intonation OF
a person who had deycteda century or
so to sightseeing of that Sort
Several tines answered the man
slowly.
What does hanged man hang his
head over on one side for, lhen-so"
Not because his neck is dislOcated.
The ligature OF the neck is stronger than
any rope. Hanging never yet broke a
neck. It's the shock, and then the sutf-
ocauon. You know how it shocks your
brain to make a misstep when going
down stairs. Well. there are fifty thou
sand springs that your head rests on
from the neck to the feet. But when
you Jerk man up by his neck the shock
comes without an Intervention OF
springs

neck was broken by hanging persisted
the muscular man.

pical science does not report such a
CASE

give in.' and the modest muscular re-
norter withdrew a step and filled.his pipe
His forte is facts straight.
Did YOU ever see hanged man come
to life. doctor:' asked doubling, Thom-
as.
Yes, l have
All ears bent perceptibly toward the
sneaker. and there was silence as IN
death.
A YOUTH began the doctor, was
condemned to be executed. During
his incarceration he promised his body
to the prison physician in return Tor
the tobacco he used When he was
dead the physician determined to try an
electric machine on him, but never hay-
ino handled one. called me in to help
him. I went. We applied electricity to
various parts of the body, and wherey'
er it was applied the body moved. Al
lenoth we sent a current along the spine
from end to end. The fellow was lying
]
on a long table-as long as-well Qook
inc around tie rooml rather Longer
than you've got here. He satup; open
ed his eyes slowly; shut them; ther
opencd them wide. The physician WHO
owned the body, and two young mer
who were helping him, started aiirighie'
for the door,:
Did he come round all right" nqulr
ed the Thomas reporter, earnestly.
He didn't lie down again. In hal
al hour he spoke asked where he wa
and what we were doing with him. Ii
4 couple OF hours he was on his way ou
Of the villa as fast as his legs could car
rs him.
Did they catch him again.
No. The inhabitants to this ia
think that he was dssected.'
Ought he to have been hanged II Il
had been caught:'
.well. there's a difference Of opinion
about that. Certainly the physical
owned bim-had bought and paid 10
him.
Would 1t have been wrong doctor
for the physician to kill him when "
saw him coming to lite and robin
him of his property.
The reporter who asked the question
ia one of the most bloodthirsty persor
in his line. The doctor wisely rep'e
by saying that the answer belonged
the department of morals in which
was not a professor.

A Blunder and Its Reward.

During his first visit to Paris, N. Las
sale. a distinguished German, presented
himself at the house Of a wcll-known
lady. to whom he had letters Of intro
duction in advance. When the servant
opened the door and received his card
she conducted him to the boudoir and
told him TO be seated, saying: Mad
anne will come Immediately
Presently the lady entered. She WIS
in dishabile and her feet were bare,
covered only with loose slippers. She
bowed to him carelessly and said; 'Ah,
there you are; good morning.
She threw herself on a so a, let fall
slipper and reached out to Lassalle her
very pretty foot.
Lassalle was naturally completely as
founded, but he remembered that at his
home in Germany it was the custom
sometimes to kiss a lady's hand and he
supposed it was the Paris mode to kiss
her foot. Therefore he did not hesitate
to imprint a kiss upon the fascinating
foot so near him, but he could not avoid

1t was true. Lassalle in going out
that morning had picked up the card OF
a corn doctor from his bureau and Put it
in his pocket. This, without glanc.ng

taken It to her mistress. There was

In his head. A seven-b arreled revolver

The most interesting item was the ar.
gument by Levi G. Bird, ESQ.,, who op
posed the writ of possession Gin the case
Of the Sheriff7s sale of Anthony Rey
bold) and gave reasons to show why il
should not be issued against Philip Rey
bold, the Jesse of the farm.
The reason assigned for the opposi
ton was that previous to the sale or thu
before anything was known about il
the farm was leased for a term of year,
by Anthony Reybold. John II. Rodney
Esq, represented the purchaser, Barney
Reybold. This farm has been solo
twice, the previous sale having been SCI
aside at the last term of Court, and a
the second sale, the farm brought from
$1,000 to $1,000 more than at the first
sale. ~ H
The Court, after hearing the case
ovei -uled the objection, and the rule wa!
made absolute.
George Gray, Esq, made application
for the setting aside of the Shiriff
sale Of George Carriers property, farm
Of 10 acres in White Clay Creek Hid.
which was bought by Chas. Sullivan, 70

was that the price was grossly inadequate
and witnesses testified that the farm wa
worth $500 or 5000. The sale was Sc
aside.
Upon the application of Levi c. Bird
