that have hitherto been unable to pen an
article sufficiently expressive of such pleasu
rable emotions, along with some comments
upon the practical experiment of the Black

to the unsuspicious and more obtuse minds of
the South of the ferocious hostility of the
great mass of northern people towards them
and their slavery institutions, and OF the
villainous and desperate measures they will
use to iniure them and theirs; which, of ne

south, the better cement it, widen the breach

SEA LAwYERs-San Francisco is afflicted

Of the great deeps-the shark-they are the
ravenous wretches who prey upon everything
that they can draw within reach of their vc

detrment TO our commercial interests.


1t is fact, that many Of the whaling cap
tains of the Pacific avoid coming to San Fran
cisco, for the reason that the moment they let
go their anchors in our harbor, they become
the helpless victims of these land sharks, who
usually succeed in robbiug them of their
crews, and footing mp bill of costs that rem
ders their stay anything but profitable
They, therefore, steer clear of this harbor
when they seek a port to reit, and the profits
of TIER trade pass into the pockets of the peo-
pie of Honolulu and other places. We are
informed upon good authority that this is the
main reason why large portion of the whal
ing fleet does not make rendezvous of San
Francisco harbor.


These 'sea lawyers" are very few in num-

are all powerful in systematic swindling ope

Those persons engaged in occupations requiring
the hands alone to move, while the lower limbs
remain motionless, should bear in mind that with
out constantly raising the frame to erect posi-
ton, and giving slight exercise to all parts of
the body, such a practice will tend to destroy
their health. They should, moreover, sit in as
erect position as possible. With seamstresses
there is always more or less STOPPING of the head
and shoulders tending to retard circulation, respi
ration, and digestion, and produce curvature of
the spine. The head should be thrown back, to
give the lungs full play. The frequent long-drawn
breath of the seamstress eyinces the cramping and
confinement Of the lungs. Health cannot DO ex-
pected without free respiration. The life-giving
element is in the atmosphere, and without it in
proportionate abundance must disease intervene.
Strength and robustness must come from exercise
Confined attitudes are in violation of correct theo-

BEAUTY IN AGE.-A writer significantly saws


"lf women could only believe it, there is won
deriul beauty even in growing old. The charm Of
expression arising from softened temper or rpened
intellect, often amply atones for the loss of form
and eoloring, and consequently, to those who new
er could boast either of these latter, years give
much more than they take away


And that


Many a one, who was absolutely plain in
youth thus grows pleasant and well-ooking in de-
clining years. You will hardly find anybody, not
ugly in mind, who is repulsivey ugly in person
after middle life'


1t is difficult to make pretty woman believe
the above, and they therefore are content to waste
the spring Of their lives in frivoities leaving their
minds to run to weed so utterly, that, when age
begins to come upon them, they have not only IA
ces expressioness from want Of mind and thought
to show, but also faces positively ugly with fur
rows of discomfort and disappointed vanity. No
woman OF character, who has cultivated her mind
and heart, can ever grow homely. Her good quail
tiles and rpened intellect develops with years and
must shine through her face, and must ever rem
der her, in spite Of years, pleasing and agreeable
object in any social relation.
