On Curls. —We find in a very neatly
printed monthly paper, now before us,
some very pertinent sayings. The
paper is called The Journal of Beauty
and is published in Purkham, Ohio, by
B. H. Robb & Cos., whose motto is
“Encourage the Beautiful.” There is
an article in it that contains special
truths. Curls form the subject. It is
asserted that in all the wide range of
philosophical speculation, which in
cludes almost everything animate and
inanimate, from the snail to the mas
todon ; from the pebble to the moun
tain, no subject has ever more seriously
engagod the attention of philosophers
than that of curls. “The poet has
sung their beauty ; the painter has em
ployed his highest; genius in deco
rating the creations of his fancy
with their rich clusters; the lover has
sighed for them ; in all ages, and by all
sexes and condition, they have been
sought as a cardinal and indispeusable
condition of true loveliness. The ideal
of beauty fails without them ; the high
est beauty is only possessed with them."
Now, this last declaration we are
forced to regard as rather broad: though,
from the mania raging among the
ladies for false curlsj and “compulsory”
curls, one is almost obliged to acknowl
edge that they esteem beauty as imper
fect without ringlets—natural or artifi
cial.
There are faces and heads, we thinki
that look best when the hair is dressed
after its natural mode. Smooth-combed
tresses for those whose hair is straight;
ringlets for those whose hair inclines to
curl.
We agroe that there is a magic influ
ence in them, and that philosophy is to
be derived from them. And wo agree,
further, that the richer and more luxu
riant their character, the greater is the
admiration for them ; and they are in
vested with a character more than
worldly, allying them to those special
gifts of Providence for the gratification
of His children, which, being common
place, would fail to direct or charm.
Their, errand is to make be luty more
beautiful. Hence woman’s admiration
for them, and man’s love of them. They
are, indeed, poetic, as has aptly been re
marked in the Journal of Beauty. In
the great laboratory of Nature, there is
nothing in all the multitude of objects
that can offer to the imagination of the
muse a richer theme for his pen, or one
more prolific of gentle, fascinating, and
exhilarating fancies than curls. The
wild, romantic mountain, the blooming
valley, the glassy river flowing almost
noiselessly between hills green with the
verdure of spring, and the gorgeous
landscapes, are all themes with Ihe
poet, the pointer, and the lover of Na
ture may admire with rapture ; but if
they excel in sublimity, they lack that
simplicity, that never-failing cheerful
ness which awakens, on all occasions, a
feeling of sympath}-, which renders lux
uriant curls emblems of love and joy.
Religious Courtship.—A young
gentleman happened to sit at church in
a pew adjoining one in which sat a
lady, for whom he conceived a sudden
and violent passion, and was desirous
of entering into a courtship on the spot;
but the place not suiting a formal decla
ration, the exigency of the case suggest
ed the following plan: lie politely
handed his fair neighbor a Bible open,
with a pin stuck in the following text—
Second Epistle of John,- verse fifth:
“ And now I beseech thee, lady, not as
though I wrote anew command unto
thee, but that which we had froin the
beginning, that we love one another.”
She returned it, pointing to the second
chapter of Ruth, verse tenth—“ Then
she fell on her face, and bowed herself
to the ground, and said unto him, why
have I found grace in thine eyes, that
thou shouldst take knowledge of me,
seeing that lam a stranger ?’ Here
turned the book, pointiug to tbe thir
teenth verse of the Third Epistle of
Jqhn. “ Having many thing so write
unto yon, I would not write with paper
and ink, but I trust to come unto you,
and speak face to face that our joy may
be full." From the above interview a
marriage took place the ensuing week.
Puhlic Schools.—All the Charleston
public schools have been turned over to
the care of the School Commissioners.
The normal school which, since the sur
render, has been iu the hands of the
Freedmcn’s Bureau, is among the num
ber. The former pupils of this institu
tion, a number of whom are at present
in this city, will hail this intelligence
with special pleasure. All the schools
are to go into operation on the first
Monday in October.
Mr. C. Emery will now supply hiß
customers with ice at one and a half
and two cents per pound, from his ice
house, on Reynolds street.

A Physician’s Evidence on Dan
ciko —That beautiful, graceful accom
plishment of dancing, so preverted by
late hours and the indecency of fashion
able attire, has outraged many sonsible
people, and led them to deprive the
young ones of the most simple and health
ful enjoyment, because it has been
abused. For myself I can testify not
only to its healthful, but recuperative
power. The fortieth, nay, the fiftieth
year of my age, found me enjoying this
life cheering exercise. It should be one
of the earliest amusements of children,
and care should be taken by parents
that it is understood as an amusement.
While I am on this topic, I will mention
a case that occurred in my practice. A
thoughtful, anxious mother who had
but three children, brought ho me her on
ly remaining child—a daughter. Her
temperament nervous billious—the ner
vous fearfully predominant; with great
irritability of the system, peevish, pas
sionate, dyspeptic, sleepless; of course,
exacting,arbitrary and uncomfortable;
the poor child looked sad, old, morbid
and miserable. She had been to
school, because her parents thought it
an amusement for her to be with other
children.
After critically examining her physi
ognomy,! said to her mother,“what is the
temperament of yonr husband?” “ The
same as my own,” she replied. Then the
child is doubly stamped,” I continued ;
“very vigorous measures must be used,
if you expect to restore her to health.
Divorce her immediately from anytiiing
mental, so far as memorizing is concern"
ed, then send her to the dancing school,
that she may combine exercise with or"
der and melody, and thus some of her
rough edges may be rounded.” The
child—her large eyes open with wonder
and delight—interrupted with, “dancing
school ? 0, how I’ve longed to go ; but
mother says it is wrong,and leads to wick
edness.” What a dilemma for a physi
cian 1 what a dilemma for a child I “Did
you ever intend your daughter to play
the piano, guitar, and other muscial in
strument?'’ said Ito the mother. “O,
yes,” was the answer. “Why,” I con
tinued, “why show such partiality to the
upper extremities? The hands are ren
dered happy as a medium of melody;
the feet are rendered equally happy iu
the same way.”
A nice afternoon school received the
little girl, who grew in health and har
mony every month as she followed the
hygienic rules, prescribed for her. Dan
cing is a healthful, beautiful, graceful re
creation, and is not responsible for the
abuses luxury has thrown around it.
The vulgarism and excitements of the
ball room have no more to do with the
simple enjoyment of the dance than the
rich wines and sumptuous banquets of
the gourmand, in whom they induce dis
ease, have to do with the temperate re
pasts that satisfy the natural wants of
the body.— Dr. Harriet K. Hunt.
Infelicities.—A pretty young Nor
wegian, named Kate Paulsen, living in
Chicago, was recently betrothed to a
gay son ot St. Crispen, named Laude
also a Norwegian. The latter, however,
fell in love with another attractive fe
male, to whom he speedily united him
self iu marriage. Miss Paulsen was
taken “down sick,” in consequence of
her seeming fate, and Laude, on hearing
it, flew to her bedside, and protested that
ho didn’t love his wife at all, and regret
ted the steps he had taken. He next
sought Mrs. Laude’s presence, and reite
rated the statement to her. Therefore, on
Monday last, the unhappy bride took a
dose of arsenic and closed her earthly
career.
Seed WnEAT.—The Commissioner of
Agriculture gives notice that lie has a
supply of Mediterranean seed wheat,
which he will send free of cost, in quan
tities of one quart to any one applying
for it.
Our farmers are interested in this
subject. We make a noteot it for their
benefit, and advise them to write for it,
in order that they maj test the quality
of the new seed.
A New Word.—The success of
Prussia, which marks an important era
in history, has also enriched language.
As the old name of Prussia is Borussia,
the Germans now, to be absorbed, and
who yet expect to be absorbed by Prus
sia, begin to speak of their being borus
sified , aud call the entire operation by
the name: Borussification.
Church Meeting.—Our Methodist
friends have their Regular Church
Meeting to-night. The members of the
.Church are especially desired to bear
this fact in mind.
Deputy Sheriff.—We are author
ized by the Sheriff of this county, Mr.
John D. Smith, to announce, that on and
after this date Mr. Samuel H. Crump is
his only legal deputy.
