The Old Commodore.

Commodore Vanderbilt made
$1OO,OOO,OOO, beginning with no
money and very little education.
He could write lis name, and that
was about the extent OF his scholastic
requirements. His name, which was
good for any amount on q check,
was not much to look at. He could
not pronounce the letter V, and al.
ways called himself Vanderbilt. A
new clerk ut the post-ottice greatly
annoyed him by looking for his let.

When Woman's Rights We're Not Con.
sidered.

What the early Christians did was
to strike the male out of the deflni-
ton of woman. Man was u human
being made for the highest and no.
blest purposes; woman was n female
made to serve only one. She was on
earth to infame the heart OF man
with every passion. She was n fire.
ship continually striving to get
alongside the male mnn-ofwar to
blow him up into pieces. This is the
way in which Tertullian addresses
women: do you not know that
each one of you is an Eve? The
sentence Of God on this sex of
yours lives in this age; theguilt must
of necessity live too. You are the
DEVILS gateway; you are the unsealer
OF that forbidden tree; you are the
first deserJer OF the divine law; you
are she who persuaded him whom the
devil was not valiant enough to
attack. You destroyed off easily
Gods image, man. On account OF
your desert, that is, death, even the
Son of God had to die" And the
gentle Clement ofAlebandria hits her
hard when he says: Nothing dis
graceful is proper for man, who is
endowed with reason; much less for
women, to whom it brings shame
even to reflect OF what nature che il"
Gregory Thaumaturgus asserts:
"Moreover,amon all women Is0ught
for chastity property to them, and I
found it in none. And verify, n per-
son may find one man chaste among
u thousand, but n woman never"
The Testament of the Twelve Putri-
archs makes queer statement, and
adds: "By means OF their adorn-
mcnt they deceive first the minds of
men, and they instill poison by the
glance of their eye, and then they
take them captive by their loings,"
and therefore" men should guard
their senses against every woman"
"Fhe angel Of God showed me-" it
says in another passage, that for
eyerdO women bear rule over King
and begggar alike; and from the King
they take away his glory, and from
the valiant man his strength, and
from the beggareven thatlittle which
is the stay of his poverty" How,
then, were men to treat this frivil-
GUS, dress-loving, lust-inspiring
creature? Surely the best plan was
to shut her up. Her clear duty was
to stay at home and not let herself
be seen anywhere. And this duty tho
christian writer's press upon her
again and again. She is not to go
to banquets, where her looks are
sure to create evil thoughts in the
minds of men who are drinking large
ly of wine. She is not to go to mar
rage feasts, where the talk and the
songs may border on RIGHTEOUSNESS.
VI course she is not to wander about
the streets in search of sights, nor
to frequent the theatre, nor the pub.

she want exercise? Clement of Alex

ChOVan Baptist Female Institute,
MURFREESBORO, N. c.

Attention is called to the following facts:
FIRST. Only experienced teachers who have
had special preparation for their work, are
placed in charge of the different departments,
Consequently the high grade of scholarship
in all the departments. =
SECOND. The location was selected in pref
erence to many others because of the reputa-
ton of Murfreesboro for health, and the
beauty of the situation. A recent visitor pro-
nounces 1t the most beautiful spot he has seen
in North Carolina.
THIRD. The health record of the young
ladies is very gratifying. For years the aver
age of doctor bills has been only twenty-five
cents per capita. During the last session,
there was no case of sickness so serious as to
need the presence of a physician.
FOURTH. Before the opening of the fall term,
ten new rooms will be added and the dormi-
tories will be refurnished and carpeted.
Only two young ladies will occupy the same
room.
FIFTH. a class of ten can be secured, ar
rangements have been mad to have young
ladies instructed in telegraphy and type
writing at a moderate cost.
SIXTH. The charges are as moderate as they
can be made for the advantages offered. For
these charges please zee catalogue.
SEVENTH. MurfreesborO is seven miles from
Conway, a station on the Roanoke and Tar
River Railroad, which is a branch of the Sea-
board and Roanoke Railroad. a line of hacks
connects the two places. 1t is fourteen miles
from the Norfolk and Carolina Railroad with
which 1t will be connected by steamers. so
soon as the road is completed to the Chowan
river, which will be about August 18th. This
route will open up all Eastern Carolina, MAX
ing the Institute most accessible to parties on
all lines of road connecting with the Norfolk
and Carolina Road.
The Fall Session begins on Wednesday,
September 18th. For catalogue or informa-
ton, address,
