Hints for Young Ladies.

DO be natural; a poor diamond is
better than good imitation.
DO try to be accurate, not only for
your own sake, but for the sake of
your sex; the incapacity of the female
mind for accuracy is a standard argu-
ment against the equality of the
sexes.
DO observe; the faculty of Observa-
ton, well cultivated, makes practical
men and women.
Do try to be sensible; it is not a par
ticular sign of superiority to talk like
a fool.
Do be ready in time for church; if
you do not respect yourself sufficient
ly to be punctual, respect the feelings
of other people.
Do avoid causes of irritation in
your family circle reflect that home
is the place in which to be agreeable.
Do be reticent; the world at large
has no interest in your private affairs.
Do cultivate the habit of listening
to others; it will make you an inval-
liable member of society, to say moth
ing of the advantages it will be to
you when you marry; every man
likes to talk about himself; a good
listener makes delightful wife.
DO be contented, "martyrs" are de-
testable; a cheerful, happy spirit is
infections; you can carry it about
with you like a sunny atmosphere.
DO avoid whispering; it is as bad
as giggling; both are to be condemn
ed; there is no excuse for either one
Of them. If you have anything to
say, say it; you have not, do hold
your tongue altogether; silence is
golden.
Do be truthful; do avoid eXaggera
ton; ifyou mean a mile, say a mile
not a mile and half; if you NEAR
one, say one, and not a dozen.
Do, sometimes at least, allow you
mother to know better than you do
she was educated before you were
born.

How to Avoid Colds.

An eminent London physician,
Doctor Graham, is reported to have
said some good things on the subject
Of colds, and which are in the main
accordant with rational and hygienic
views, For instance:
at is not correct practice, after a
cold is caught, to make the room
person sits in much warmer than
usual, to increase the quantity Of bed
clothes, to wrap them up in flannel,
and have them drink hot tea, cruel,
or other slops, because that will in
variably increase the feverishness,
and in the majority of instances, pro-
long, rather than lessen, the duration
of the cold. 1t is well known that
combining inoculated persons in warm
rooms will make their smallpox
more violent by augmenting the gen
eral heat and fever; and it is for the
same reason that a similar practice
in the present complaint is attended
with analogous results, a cold being
in reality slight fever. In some
parts of England, among the lower
order Of the people, large glass of
cold spring water, taken on going to
bed, is found to be a successful rene
dy, and, in fact, many medical prac-
titiOners recommend a reduced at
mosphere and frequent draughts OF
cold fluid as the most efficacious rem
edies for a recent cold, particularly
when the patients habit is full and
plethoric."
The doctor Says further:
at is generally supposed that it is
the exposure to the wet or cold at
mosphere which produces the eflect
called cold, whereas it is the return
ing to a warm temperature after eX
posture, that is the real cause Of thC
evil. When a person in cold Weathel
goes into the open air, every time HI
draws in his breath the cold airpasse
through his nostrils and Wind-pipe
into the lungs and consequently di
minishes the heat Of those parts. A
long as a person continues in the cole
air, he feels no bad effect frOmit; bu
as soon as he returns home he ap
prOacheS the fire to warm himself
and very often takes some warm ant
comfortable drink to keep out tn
cold, it is said. The inevitable con
sequence is that he finds he has take
cold. He feels shivering whic
makes him draw nearer the fire, bu
all to no purpose; the more he trie
to heat himself, the more he chills
All the mischief is here caused b
the violent action of the heat.
ITO avoid this when you come OF
of a very cOldatmosphere, you shoul
not at first go into a room that has
fire in it, or, if you cannot avoid tina
you should keep for a considerabl
time at as great a distance from I'll
fire as possible, and, above all, r.
frain from taking warm or strong
quors when you are cold. This ru
is founded upon the same princip
as the treatment of any part Of Il
body when frost bitten. If it we
brought to the fire it wouldsoOn mo
tify, whereas, if rubbed with snoN
no bad consequences result from
Hence, if the following rules we
strictly observed-when the who
body, or any part of it, is chile
bring it to its natural feeling al
warmth by degrees-the freque
colds we experince in winter woul
in many cases, be prevented"

The credit system, that so general
ly obtains in our southern towns, is
the great enemy of progress. After
the war its necessity was more appar-
ent, but now when business has
reached "hard-pan," the town or city
whose citizens pay as they go have
hit upon the philosophy of success
and prosperity. y cash town is
worth a hundred towns that run on
promises to pay.

Nip it In the Bud.

Burdette.
Eleanor Kirk comes out in an elo-
quent article defending babies and
youngchildren from promiscuouskiss-
ing all sorts of people. She is right.
This thing of everybody kissing all
the babies is all wrong, and we know
who started it. General Sherman.
He likes his about old enough to vote,
it is true, but nevertheless he is re-
spOnsible for this whole business, and
we hOpe-Still now; you take a girl
baby about between four and five feet
old; just getting in to long dresses,
you know; pretty, and know; hair
banged and frizzled and shirred, and
her face washed real clean, and you
be in theparlor with her, sitting upon
sofa about big enough for one and a
half; and her father standing in the
door kind of casually looking in on
you-aw, you wouldn't kiss her for a
dollar. It's easy enough to check
this promiscuOus kissing of girl
babies, if you only go at it in the
right way.

A Too Literal Translation.

a noted scientist had his entire
wardrobe stolen from him with the
exception of a few paper collars, says
a reporter of the New York Mail and
Express. He had an engagement to
call on young lady up the Hudson
river. He sent the following dis
patch:
| have had all my clothes stolen
except some paper collars. But that
will not deter me from coming.
He received the following telegram
in response:
Ifyou have nothing but paper col
lars to wear do not come. l love
French art but not French realism.
The author of Exclusions and Acct
dents" said he liked literal transla-
tons, but not to such an extent.

Ayers Pills

Never fail to relieve the bowels and pro-
and thus cure Dyspepsia. Temporary
paliatives all do permanent harm. The
fitful activity into which the enfeebled
stomach is spurred by "bitters," and alec.
hoic stimulants, is inevitably followed
by reaction that leaves the organ weaker
than before.

ton brooded over the whole land, and
such a direful picture of wrecked hopes
and ruined fortunes was possibly never
before seen. At the north, how differ
ent. The war doomed every industry.
Billions of money had been issued and
it flooded the country. Farms, work
shops and factories were taxed to
their utmost capacity, and yet
the supply fell short of
the demand. Situations on railroads,
in factories, mercantile and banking
houses, insurance companies, govern
ments offices, and a thousand other plac-
es We're oper to the federal soldier re-
turning from the war. In addition to
this. there were soldiers homes and hos
pitfalls for the disabled to enter and a
government TO pension him. Beside this
picture, the confederate soldiers return
to his home is in striking ana pitiful con-
trast. Cherries, indeed, was his future,
but not murmur escaped him. One of
the soldiers who lost an arm in that un-
successful struggle, with his other arm
shoves jack-plane in front of our WIN
dow all day long and is the joliest of all
his fellow-workmen. On the whole, we
are led to believe. that the poor cOnfed-
crate soldier kept his head above water,
and fed. clothed and housed his wife
and babes about as well as his pensioned
and pampered brother i'll blue. His own
recuperation, and the recuperaton of his
conquered country, that his eff
fort brought about, we do not believe
has parallel in history. No conquered
army ever acted more nobly. Their re-
liant and -murmuring conduct must
have gained the respect of their enemies
as it has won the admiration of their
friends
