Healthy Women.

A writer urging the necessity of more
attention to physical culture notes rs a
favorable sign the fact that the "pale
and interesting" type of female beauty
is fast losing its popularity. and that
claring for the healthy standard of wom-
only beauty, such as were ever recog-
nized by Greece and Rome. This Ger
tainly is an important and happy change
in public taste, and already the effects
Of it are to be detected in an improved
condition of feminine health, for it will
hardly be denied that on an average the
women of to-day are physically superior
to what they were few years ago when
tight-lacing and similar destroying GUS
toms prevailed.
Young women take moro exercise than
they formerly did. They ride and walk
more, and are more in the open air.
They have not the insane dread of the
suns rays which they once had. But
there is much room for improvement
yet. Many homes are still presided
over by invalid wives and mothers, who
furnish constant spectacle of sadness
and misery to their friends, and are a
subject of unlimited expense to their
husbands. In such homes the greatest
of all blessings that could be hoped for
would be the health Of the mistress re-
stored; but often it is the one blessing
which never comes.
American homes, more than any other,
perhaps, in the world, have been sad.
dened by sickly women. Ii this shall lie
so no longer it will be great blessing to
the nation. And the remedy is simple.
American men are as strong and healthy
as those OF other nations there is NO
good reason why American women
should not be. All that is needed is
proper attention to dress and exercise.
Let women dress, as men do, so that
their bodies shall not be eQueezed and
pressed together, but have free room for
motion, and let them go out into the
air and sunshine, and exercise their
bodies, and the race of American women
will not become extinct, as it once
threatened 10 do.
On the contrary, it will be improved,
built up and beautifed, and time will
shortly come when a healthy man will
not have to hunt whole country over to
find healthy wife. We are on the right
track now all that is needed is to go
ahead, and the results will soon be man
ifest. Women will die to be in fashion
therefore let the fashion of female beauty
be vigor and strength, and all the ladies
in the land will be swinging dumb bells,
practising archery, riding on horseback,
and walking as for wager but they
will be in style.

Power Of SYlnpalIlY.

It is acknowledged that most women
possess the quality Of sympathy to re-
markable extent. Mrs. Browning pos
sessed this gift; it vibrated on the chord
Of poetic expression in her. Jane Aus
tin and Charlotte Bronte led retired
lives, but they had the power perpetual
" to pass out of their circumscribed in
dividuality to that of others, and the
genius to retain and turn to account the
tieeting impressions of their passing
contact with individuals. The darlings
and the ornaments of society are the
women who can throw themselves best
into the interest of the moment; if to
this sensitive nature belongs native
sincerity, confidence is attracted, friend
ships are made and retained. Nine.
Recamire is, perhaps, the best type Of
this gift of social sympathy allied to a
certain reality of nature. She attracted
the best and most gifted of her time.
When age had marred her beauty, pow
erty succeeded wealth, and partial blind
ness rendered her intirm, her salon in
the Abbaye aux Bots was still the resort
of eminent men and women of the Pc
Rod. She was not wit, she was always
somewhat shy; but she had the wish to
win love rather than admiration, and
possessed the tact Of drawing out the
best gifts in others. She had the genius
Of friendship, her steadfastness could
not be shaken. Sympathy gives an an
gelic grace to virtue.

Cannot Recall the Rest.
A correspondent wants to know if we
can recall the rest of that beautiful
poem commencing:

A farmer sat in his easy chair
Smoking his pipe Of clay,
While his hale old wife. with busy care,
Was clearing the dinner away;
sweet little girl with fine blue eyes
On her grandfather's knee was catching dies,
It gives us great deal of pleasure to
say we cannot. In the first place. no
man ever found an easy-chair on a farm.
Secondly, no farmer ever left any dinner
for his hale old wife to clear away.
Thirdly, there never was a child that
could catch tlies-we used to try it.

The Reason Why.

DR.. E. B. Halliday's Blood Purifier is held
supcl ior to any blood medicine in the market
is because it is the only blood medicine on the
whole catalogue, that acts on the brain as well
as the blood and on the whole nervous sys-
TEN, thus toningup every part. People in the
Western States are subject to catarrh and
neuralgia which affect the brain. They find

Vermont Graveyard Literature.

no department of literature which seems
to yield such perennial pleasure as an
cient epitaphs in country burying-

upon a monument which can hardly be
classed as "ancient" yet, because the
man for whom it is intended is still liv-

Mile. Crew..

Mile. Grevy, the daughter OF the
President Of the French republic, is q
brave girl who lares to Americanize
herself in the face of an old and hitherto
unbroken Partisan custom. No re-
spectacle French woman goes on the
street alone either gentleman (rela-
tive, OF course,) or servant must &C.
company her. A foreigner can defy
this rule with safety, and every day you
meet English and American girls by
themselves, but their nationality is so
evident that it protects them where q
native would be insulted right and left.
But Mile. Grevy walks and rides alone,
much to the horror of the aristocrats,
and even Republican papers attack her
for infringing on long-established Gus
toms. They tell some very amusing
stories about the young lady, and the
difficulty she encounters in CARRYING out
her Americanism. It seems on a num-
Der of occasions that Mile. Grevy, when
walking alone, has been accosted by her
too-gallant countrymen, but, instead of
losing her temper or being frightened,
she hands them a visiting card to en-
force her statement as to her personality.
and then begins to harangue them on
the beauty and propriety of woman
walking unescorted, and on the folly of
a man presuming for that reason that
she is not oil she should be. The nov-
city of this proceeding is rendered more
striking because unparalleled in the an
nails of French history.
