dyspepsia always produces more less
Impotence and irritability. And since
the woman is the outcropping of the
girl, the narrow-chested girl retaining
her deformity in womanhOod, as in the
girl, in her whole management or mis-
management, so will be the woman and
the mother.
The great demand of the age is better
educated females-educated in all re-
spects, their whole capabilities brought
into activity, since the health, vigor,
mental and moral power of the next
generation at least, will depend on their
condition more than all other influences
combined - leach after its kind"
The sickly mother will rear sickly
child, though that feebleness may not
at first be manifest. The peevish
mother-so during the most important
period of her earthly life-wil produce
peevishness in her offspring. The
groveling, low, sensual, Incorporate
and vicious woman becomes just to that
extent the mother of just such children.
as the future will demonstrate. Ii
these are facts. therefore, it is matter
of vital importance that our girls shall
be thoroughly educated to become wives
and mothers, not so much because that
is their highest position, as because the
true woman wishes to be wife and
mother from the very aspirations of her
nature. If she lis thus to become the
mother of the race, it is her right and
the duty which society owes her, to
have every possible facility to become
the highest type of such a mother
healthy and wise.
While our boys are trained for the
trades, for farming, for the professions,
etc., it is as needful that the girls shall
be made intelligent in general, and that
some occupation shall be selected as
means of support, that they may not
feel that they are but parasites in soci-
ETY.; that they were simply made to be
married at about twenty years of age,
and then to be supported, pets to be
fondled-as long as they seem to be pets
finely attired and handsome dolls.
That most will be married is hoped, and
yet some will remain single, and as
such, it is but fair to them that they
should be able in some way to secure an
honest living, to respect themselves.
To bring them up Cor let them come up)
to feel that they are too good to work
in any department of industry, too good
to be useful, is to rob them of self
respect, of true womanhood; nay, more,
it teaches them selfshness, to disrespect
the mother, regarding her as just fit to
wait upon them, to be slave. Every
daughter-if the mother discharges her
whole duty-will be taught to be useful
first in the kitchen, in the nursery. in
the sitting room, as well as in the par
lor, at least if she has any idea of ever
having the care of family. If not,
she needs training in some of the trades
that she need not remain hanger-on,a
practical pauper. Men and women
alike are placed in this world for labor,

Considerable BOarders.

Excursion parties are coming in, and
occasionally little old-fashioned human
nature is exhibited. A mild old couple
sat at our table. Evidently the bill Of
fare was a sealed book to them; at
least, they paid no attention to it, but
meekly asked for small plate of cold
corned beef. When four potatoes were
brought, she selected two of the best,
and requested that the rest be carried
back, as some one else might want them.
When the old man asked if they had
any clippers and further explained
by stating that he supposed they called
them ''fiapjacks up here the old lady
touched his arm. and said: Nathaniel,
it's good deal of work to fry them
things, and seems to me wouldn't
make the folks so much trouble eff was

noticed that Nathaniel was very ''saVin,"

begged the other people at the table to

table before, and were taking a bit of

Education OF Girls.

To train the girl to become a wife
and mother, knowledge pertaining to
the whole household arrangements, to
cooking, washing, cleaning, mending-
the whole round of domestic employ
ments, is absolutely needful. To fail
so to educate the daughters, to give
them the best possible constitutions, is
to cheat an honest young man, to de-
fraud society, to imperi1 the harmony
of the home circle, and to cripple two
for life. 1t may not be true that de-
ficiency in these regards is sufficient
cause for complaint or censure, and
yet, as society is constituted, it is prob
able that poor bread, scorched meats,
watery potatoes, insipid tea and coffee,
and an untidy house, are among the
prominent sources of family differ
ences.
Let me say, and with emphasis, that
no woman with deformed chest, made
so by cruel corsets and lacing, the lungs
occupying but fraction of the space
intended for them by the Creator, the
blood but half purified, of necessity, the
liver and stomach so compressed and
crippled as to be unable to perform
their natural functions, can be the
mother of truly healthy children. No
one can thus destroy the power of the
lungs, on which so much depends. ex-
cite and infame the whole system, the
nerves in particular, by strong acids,
excoriating spices and stimulants, and
still be prepared to rear children in the
best manner. No one can impair
digestion by crippling the stomach
bound, as in wise, by corsets, etc., and
then have the self-contrcl, the patience
and the cheerf1lness needful in the
management of the household, since

an EVERYDAY GIRL.

She's only an everyday girl,
without any semblance of art,
This wide-awake, sensible maid,
To whom have given my heart.
She's womanly, gentle and kind,
The least little bit of prude,
Whose dignity is rebuke
To those too familiar, or rude.
She's honest and frank as the day,
Has never been known TO deceive,
And everything she may assert
Is certainly safe to believe.
Her beauty is not of the kind
To set any heart in a whirl,
And light-headed friendships are not
The choice of an everyday girl.
Her taste in the matter of dress
is neither too snowy nor grave,
But such as will lead you TO guess
She is not to fashion slave:
Yet many a one has turned round
On meeting her out in the street,
To admire the everyday girl
Who looked so remarkably sweet.
Her gifts and her graces are not
Set out in attractive array
To dazzle, or envy excite,
Or ever for public display;
But sitting beside her alone,
Or with choice few, you will find
How good and how great is her heart,
How richly endowed is her mind.
To her you may go in your grief,
And freely your troubles rehearse;
On her in your sickness depend,
For she is a capital nurse;
Whatever the strait you are in,
Though others may give you no heed,
You'll find that an everyday girl
Will furnish the help that you need.
She's patient, forbearing and wise,
GOod-natured, kind-hearted and true,
And does with a resolute will
The tasks that are set her to do.
All, happy, indeed, is his lot,
Without an occasion for strife,
Who with such an everyday girl
Can spend every day Of his life!

An Eye witness ia Regard 10 the Hood
Houud Features OF the Playa Scene
witnessed by asEheelipg Nan.
Tothe Editor Of the IntellIsencer.
The statement by the Old and leading
citizens Of Lynchburg, Virginia, in the ar
ticle under the heading Of "Poor Uncle
Tom" inyour issue OF Friday morning, may
have been true Of Virginia and North
Carolina but certainly was not OF Louisiana
In lsI7. And the further statement in the
same article from gentleman from Allan
m that the hounds used there to hunt rum
awny slaves were not blood hounds but
common hounds trained for the purpose,
and trained not to bite, may all have been
true Of that State, but whether true or not
OF Louisiana, at the times OF which we
write, let the following statement OF an oc-
curence witnessed by the writer decide.
Just here wish to state distinctly that my
object In the narration Is not sensational
one. but simply in the interest Of history.
Being at Donaldsonvile, where stopped
of Mississippi steamer bound Tor New
Orleans, on my way to Thibadiauxyiile, |
took the first boat going down the bayou.
On getting on board tho first thing that
caught my eye was negro man lying on
The bare boards Of the boiler deck. hand
CufFed and chained to staucheon, and al.
most literally covered with clots Of blood
from great flesh wounds that showed on
MI parts OF his body, as he had scarcely
rags TO cover his nakedness, being without
coat or vest, while his shirt was sleeveless
and his pants split in ribbons from the
waist to his feet. Lying there on his back,
with myriads OF hys supping oil the clots
OF blood and blazing sun pouring full on
his face, he formed the most shocking
spectacle ever witnessed.
After securing state room returned to
where the man was lying and asked him II
he did not want drink OF water. On his
ayes. Mass please" went to the cooler
and got some water, which placed to his
In, but before he had done drinking, and
while was still holding the cup his cap:
turer came up aud wanted to know what
was doing with the d N niger. |
answered, nothing but giving him drink
OF water" "D-n him, he don't deserve a
mouthiul," said he. "Why" said |.
"Because he killed my best dog and came
d-n near killing another, and if | had not
come up Just as did and given him both
barrels Of my shot gun hCthe legs, ! be.
lieye he would have killed the whole
pack" "How many dogs had you, and
what kind OF a weapon had hey'
/ asked. ~ had five dogs and he had a
cane knife, and when came in sight he
bad his back to tree and was chopping
right and left like HI" "Did the dogs
tear him that way?" was my next question.
"You see, when l dropped him with my
gun, Just whooped them up, and they
went in and chawed him up some. While
the above Is not all the conversation had
with the negro catcher, for such was his
business, 1t Is all that relates to the subject
in hand, with this exception-that on sub
sequentiy learning the dogs were on the
boat, went down on deck TO see them,
and if they were not iull.blooded blood
hounds they had much Of that strain in
them. sac ID. b. HUBBARD.
