Spare the Young Girls.
“That girl is fast as hell,” said a
young man the Other day to a crowd
of his comrades as a frail little crea
ture swept gracefully past, bowing
with a smile. ! t this remark some
were amused, while others felt a keen
rebuke for having been present. The
subject at whieh this sting was direct
ed is a young and beautiful girl, inno
cent and thoughtless, not yet temper
ed and trained to the gruff usages of
the world, not yet taught that women
m ust guard against slanderous tongues
by avoiding even the appearance of
evil. Having inquired we find that
the young man is not even acquainted
with the young lady and was never
in her company; when looking upon
her tender face, one could but think
that the vile insinuation blistered his
false throat before his lying tongue
gave it utterance.
A thoughtless young girl often acts
and speaks imprudently, which is
constructed by the vulgar as indelicate
and is often so started on the wings of
gossip that gather filth as they fly
from door to door. If slanderous gos
sip must live and fatten by traducing
good people, let men, boys and mar
ried women and girls, who are old
enough to ward off the deadly fangs,
be the targets, but spare the young
girls. Because they speak freely and
laugh merrily are no indications that
they are the less pure; there is purity
where an infamous scoundrel would
make base degradation; suspicion
haunts the guilty mind and the guilty
are the slanderers—
“’Tis slander
Whose edge is sharper than the sword, whose
tongue
Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose
breath
Rides on the posting winds, and doth belie
All corners of the world.”
Found at Last.
The place to get your Christmas

Substance of Things Hoped for, the
Evidence of Things not Seen,
Is it possible! How are the mighty

is in a sad fix. He was asked the
time by Walter Simmons. With some
hesitation, plainly lining his expres
sive face, he remarked “I don’t
know,” Walter took hold of an elab
orate chain the end of which had
taken refuge in Henry’s vest pocket,
and instead of the gold repeator that
awhilome was attached to it,there was
nothing. Everybody was astonished
at the result. “How’s this Henry,”
it was asked. Oh! thats the sub
stance of things hoped for, the evi
dence of things not seen and with a
mournful accent he remarked “the
country’s in a bad fix.

Senator Walker, of the 12th sena

A Melancholy Wail.
Hunting agobler-Mr. John Leamon
was prospecting for a gobler, on Lee
and Finn Streets, which he alleged
he had bought a few days previous to
honor his Christmas dinner. The
bird was seen, he said, at dawn by the
cook, perched on the yard fence. His
ears were greeted on all sides by the
wail of turkies which were destined
for a like sacrifice, but up to parting
had not found his own. It was sug
gested that he had better take dinner
with his cook if he was bent on eating
a part of that turkey.

BOOKS.
The twin arts of printing and book
binding appear to have passed the
chrysalis state, and glitter and are as
gay as butterflies. There is upon the
back of many a volume, more gold
than its author ever had in his pocket;
and many works exhibit magnificent
covers, the writers of which were in
vested with a parapharnalia of rags.
Next to pretty women and pretty
flowers, there is something refreshing
in pretty books, especially when the
milky purity of the exterior images
forth, the innocence of the thoughts
within, and the gay decorations of
the artist reflect the beautiful fancy of
the author. In the growing taste for
ornamental books, we perceive the
propriety of learning which adapts
itself to the society in which it lives,
and arrays its person in fashionable
robes. When, as unfortunately too
long, learning was compelled to asso
ciato with monks and lawyers, who
kidnapped her on earth and thought
they could conceal her from Heaven,
she was dull, gloomy and morose.
She wore black, spoke mysteriously
and looked like the devil. She was
often chained lest she should make
her escape, and locked up that she
might not be discovered. At last she
set fire to the cloisters, and abandoned
them like light. For light is the
beautiful personification of learning,
being the intelligence of the Almighty
revealing his works. In her wander
ings over the world she was maltreat
ed and abused. Priests involved her
in polemics. Lawyers embarrassed
and confused her. Physicians clipped
her wings that they might astonish
the ignorant, and critics pared her
nails and cut her hair. She saw
through and held in contempt her
would-be masters, while she reluctant
ly submitted to their pedantic forms,
their morose zeal, and mock solemni
ty, for learning is cheerful, being the
intercourse of the soul. And those are
pretenders only, who think that to
look demure is to be thought wise,
and to be grave and taciturn, is to be
accounted deep. Of all tricks that
were everdevised, the tricks of gravi
ty are most abortive and ludicrous,
Learning being innocent and cheerful,
for she is the lovely messenger of
Truth, sought repose and society
among the young and the fair. She
left the professions to their jargiu, and
their ceremonies, who began to dep
recate her influence, it being deem
ed derogatory in a professional man,
to be a man of letters, and customary
to rebuke Genius for its gratuitous
splendor. The graces of Literature
soon won the esteem of Beauty, and
they strove mutually to adorn each
other. Poetry proclaimed the praise,
ere it asked the applause of Innocence
and hallowed and purified thoughts
which were to repose on the pillow
oi Virgins. The innocent maid drawn
into contemplation, like Narcissus,
by her own picture, fell in love with
Literature for the sake of Innocence.
She rejected the guady decorations of
the body for the glorious furniture of
the mind and became the purest wor
shipper at the altar of Truth. The
arts, the channels of beauty, mingled
their streams to replenish the fount,
and cups white as marble and glitter
ing with gold, conveyed the waters of
Literature to the lips of Loveliness.
Letters are in favor with the gay and
the polite, and dress accordingly in
holiday garments. May their society
last and improve, till every good book
be beautiful and every beautiful girl
be learned.
The above remarks grew insensibly
out of a visit and inspection of the ele
gant editions in Miss Agnes Aycock’s
Book Store. Visitor.
