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. BRAN, Etc. 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.
