V 1 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 toys, candies, apples, oranges, fire works, and other tricks, is at the store of James A. Myers, under the Opera House. He has on hand, and will receive fresh supplies during the hol idays, toys of all kinds, consisting of dolls, toy clocks, vases, toilet articles, false faces, cups and saucers, fire works of every conceivable style, and things -never before offered in this market. Musical instruments, such as banjos, guitars, accordians, etc. And in the fruit line he keeps on hand fresh and fine apples, oranges, also every style of candy known to the trade—plain and fancy candy, candy toys of all kinds. French candies, jellies, dried figs, brandy peaches, extracts, and canned goods of all kinds. All these goods were bought at spot cash prices, and will be sold as cheap as any goods of like charac ter in the city. Goods delivered in any part of the city free of cost. All those who expect to purchase are most cordially invited to call and ex amine before purchasing elsewhere. Substance of Things Hoped for, the Evidence of Things not Seen, Is it possible! How are the mighty fallen! J. H. Allen Clerk of the court 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. For the Colored People. The Hearse for colored persons will be furnished for seven dollars. D. B. Hill. Hon. Jas P. Walker. Senator Walker, of the 12th sena torial district, called in to see us on Tuesday. It is always pleasant to be remembered by, and have interviews with the Senator, and will always feel complimented by a call. Sena tor Walker is quite an active influen tial member of the State Senate. He is a member of several committees, among them, the committee for re distreting the State. He does not shrink from responsibility, and what ever a clear head and honest purpose will dictate as right he will do. Call again. 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. Sold Out. Mr. S. Fleischman has sold his en tire stock of dry goods to Messrs. S. M. Cohen & Cos., of Cotton avenue fame, in order to give his entire at tention to his Sextuple Spring Mat tress, which is becoming a huge in terest, as ho is daily receiving more orders for county and State rights than he can attend to. S. M. Cohen & Cos., are old merchants of this city, and will command, as they have ever done, a splendid patronage. See ad vertisement in another column. RIPPLES.

It will soon break upon the ear—and there will be the happiest boy out, at the other end of it. If some big hearted fellow was to come along and drop a Christmas tur key in the Republica office we— well, we would hardly believe it. We learn that the young folks in Americus will observe New Year’s days by making and receiving calls. The programme will be announced in time. Five drops of the oil ofcubebs upon a piece of loaf sugar, dissolved grad ually in the mouth, will instantly relieve the most troublesome parox ysm of coughing, or the irritation of bronchitis. There are several good fellows in Americus who would do well to make their “good resolutions” now, and not wait for the New Year.

A number of Alabama girls, who are probably very young, are having the initialsof theirsweethearts’ names tattooed in monogram on the palms of their left hands—the hands nearest their hearts.

On Saturday 0 p. m., his enterprising spirit led him to go into the dry goods business, so far as two shirts were concerned. He had found by going into the cellar, he could get a small bundle through the bars, at twilight he descended into the cellar for coal, and pushed his bundle through to the outside where he would not put any body to incon venience. Ho was discovered, but nothing daunted, he sized his pack age and broke, Mr. J. T. Coffee pur sued, and overtook him at the gate on Jackson street.

Wheatley has added very largely *to his already large stock of CLOTH ING, and is offering some rare bar gains, this week. communicated. 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.
