My Dear Girls— My deep anxiety for aud interest in ycur present and fu ture welfare must be my oily apolo gy for tliis letter. Though I must confess that printers’ ink is delicious, and the jten is mightier than the broom, when wielded by your humble servant. Y r ou must know that I am a modern ivoman ! Husband has become vexed over my writing desk. Hays I had better look after the family, house, &c. Calls me “blue stocking,” and spills ovt .-‘B\i.ry time he sees me ply pen to paper. My advice to you is, marry ot 'v literary men. Dr. Siiiling fleet once wore a pair of blue hose at one f M.> Montagues fashiouable literal,' as* emblies, vvliicii gave it the name of “blue stocking assembly.” A ! witty Frenchman hearing the phrase, J exclaimed: “Ah! Lesbas blues!” and literary women have ever since car ried tho name, though you will see ' that in justice it belongs to literary men. I make this explanation for the double purpose of showing mv pro found erudition, and at the same time the injustice which the male part of creation are always ready to heap upon their sisters. lam already di gressing from the line of taik whitsh I intended to follow at the outset — Urn useful but will try to confine myself to the subject, now that I have ventil ated my feelings a little. Although the field of woman's labor has wide tied very much within the last half century, it is still, and uf ne cessity ever will be, much narrower than that of man’s. (I don’t believe in the necessity!) It was a giecian king who recommended that theyouug should be taught that which would be most useful for them to practice throug’ii life. The wisdom of this is apparent and yet how exceedingly re luctant vve ;>•-'! to profit by it. That we are iu duty bound to learn and practice the useful, I hold to be a self evident truth. The only point at is sue is, what is useful and what is-not. Here I am disposed to give a wide 1 ititude to the subject. Anything that makes happier children and bet ter men and women is useful in pro portion as it does so. Gold should not bo the supreme object in life, neither poverty and rags. I do not believe in the philosophy of Franklin, who said: “I would much rather see a spinning-wheel than a piano—a knitting needle than a visiting card.” I believe “iu a time for everything.” My young friends—l would have you study' the laws of life, of dress, of economy of time. Domestic happi ness depends largely on your wisdom. The rich treasures of the family are, or soon will be in your keeping. Do you feel the responsibility resting up on you ? Do you appreciate the moulding power you have ? Da you wisely me. intelligently us“ it in shap ing public character through the channels of domestic influence and j childhood? I t\ar not. You need not wait for the time to come when you can go to the. polls in person, but you may go there notv iu the person of your brothers and husbands. As all young ladies are supposed to be come wives, tuAl as it is probable that wives will exercise the freeman’s right; and as one distinguished female has said—“ That you will vote is as inevi table as the millennium.” I would ad vise you to read the papers, though the millenium will not dawn on the pres -1 ent administration. I pray that you 1 may not be called upou to “wade thro’ fli Ids of slaughter to a throne,” but it is eminently wise to prepare for the worst and hope fur the best. It was one of America’s purest and brightest female writers who said in one of her letters to young ladies— “A selfish woman is more unendura ble, mid really more blameless, than a se.fish uian.” Selfishness is the most disagreeable of all sins. We try to overlook it iu our brothers but what i can be said in excuse of a selfish young lady ! The secret of happiness eon* ! eiats not so much in retaining, as in imparting joy to others. As an ex ample of learning the useful, I beg leave to refer to Prussia. Every in telligent reader should know that her schools and institutions are more practical and rigid than those of any oth**r country. The difficulty is not lltai we do dot learn however, but that we do not practice. To make our selves useful should be tho the high est art in life, and will be rewarded with that measure* of good to itself which it has done to others. In the useful I would by no means consent to leave out the fine arts, but rather do I regard them as the crowning part of life. Of what use would the body be without the head to direct and beautify it? If I was to deliver this in public I should extenuate upon the follies of the age, but to the great relief of the exc- ediug patient lecture going public, lam not. I’ll tell you just what the American lady wants, it is just a little more independence. Let lashions go to the wind. Origi nate your own btyle of fash ions and shrink not from following them when you are sure it would be best to no so. (I write this paragraph to attract at tention.) W omen have been fouud to brave the cannon’s mouth, but who would dare brave the goddess of fash ion in public? My dear girls,—of course you must dress —plain, rich, tasty . Flowers are always in good taste, us are silks and plain jewelry, if not too much exposed. Be careful who, how, when, a id where you court, even iu “leap-year.” Make no haste to marry, fur you will bo sure to have lime enough to repent of it. Dress as you like, but not gaudily. Act with proper dignity,but not scorn fully or temptingly. Remember, Ha tan first tempted Eve, and Eve first tempted Adam, and Adam has ever since made a handle of it, aud some times a very long one too. Don't think you must always smile and fawn upon gaily dressed young men, but rather notice their address. Sometimes a sharp word and an inde pendent bearing will best secure both love ami respect. In short, bo not easily won.. Flirt as much as you like only keep it to yourself. Never allow a gentleman to come nearer than this: “How do you do, Miss —?” Make them understand that you trav eled much, and are well acquainted with the world; but never profess per fection, for men are not so easily de ceived. Be wary and guarded in their presence. It you would know how to dress and how to appear iu the best society, subscribe for Gudey’s Lady's Book. It is a monthly periodical of fashious, manners, aud refined reading matter, that no unmarried lady can afford to he without. It may be that some of my young girls are married, for girls marry quite youug now-a-days! If so, make hus band understand that you are to dress well, and that ho is to pay all bills. Ho will soon respect you, if you are tirm aud decided, and love you moie than if you yielded to his stingy purse. Always appear neatly dressed, house in perfect order, dinner on time, and two or three good servants. Never say “dear,” “darling,” &c.; they are soft names in his mind. Give him a curtain lecture about six times a week, being careful to keep the Sabbath. Never ask in a doubtful way but speak as if you never thought of a refusal. Remember, that you two are one —and that what is his is yours, and what is yours is your own. I must bring this very uninteresting letter to a close, but may be persuaded to open it at some future time. lu conclusion I would say, I have seven ! daughters, the eldest of whom is now twenty-one—all marri igable aud pret ty. I believe in marriage, and that is the only thing in which husband and I agree. I also believe in the magic number of seven, aud f have seen in valuable rules of life Which I will here wive c rat is: Ist. Don’t remain sin gle. 2d. Don’t marry poor nor poor ly. 3d. Don’t fret. 4th. Don’t coax. sth. Don’t scold. 6th. Don’t flatter. 7th. Don’t let your tongue rust out fur want of use. So be it MRS. LIGHTNING. $2.50 A YEAR A Tennessee Woman’s Adven ture with an Adder- From a reliable gentleman ot Coop er town, Dr. R. G. Glover, we get the following particulars: On Saturday, May 2d, Mrs. Eliza Wilson, wife of Andrew Wilson, who lives some four miles south of Cooper town, and daughter of Robert Head, Esq., of Robertson county, stepped outside the yard iuto the edge of a grove to get a tooth-brush, and while in the act of breaking a twig she felt something move about her right foot, She stooped forward to see what it was, when a large spreading adder struck her in the breast, fastening his fangs in the bosom of her dress. It then dropped back, and to her horror, she found she was on the rep'.ile, near its tail. Her first impulse was to run, but she discovered that the monster wa3 coiling himself around her ankle. Phe stopped, an 1 with great presence iof mind seized the only opportune moment offered, that of putting her lift foot upon his head, which she did, thereby fastening him securely to the ground. There she stood, all alone, with one Got on the reptile’s head, while nearly his whole length—about three feet—was tightly wrapped around her ankle. She screamed at the top of her voice, but there was no one near enough to hear her voice or to come to her relief. Her husband whs in a distant, field plowing, and it being no later than nine o’clock, and having failed to make any of her neighbors hear her —some of whom lived within a few hundred yards—- she stood’ in suspense, not knowing what to do or how to act. During her meditations thousand of thoughts rushed across her mind,and not know ing but site, in all probability, wasbit tou; but after all, so fa: - , she had beeu victorious; thus encouraged she re sorted to the only alternative left— which was to unwrap him with her hands. She commenced the loath some ordeal, the rusty monster writh-* tug with great force, unwilling to quit his hold. Stie finally succeed, but another crisis awaited her. If she let him go he would, perhaps, recoil him self around Iter ankle before she could disengage her foot from his head an I escape. If she took her foot off his head while she held him with her hands ho would, more than likely, bite J-mr before she could relase him aud escape. With the same presence of mind and undaunted courage that had fortified aud saved her thus far, she looked around and saw that sho was standing within a few feet of a small sapling—and, with heroic de termination, she resolved -to sling his head against it. She made the effort and succeeded, wlrcli stunned him so much that he had but little of life re maining; she then took a stone and mashed His head off, and escaped uu inirined. Hue reports his head as ap pearing as broad as 1 -:r two hands when lie struck her in tho bosom, not withstanding, she thinks she was not much alarmed until after she got back into the yaul, when sire turned sick, Hhe managed to get iuto the house aud took a dose of nervous stimulant, which relieved her. For several hours after, her hands and arms seemed to be swollen and of a dark color, which made her apprehensive that she was bitten, but finding not the least scratch on them she was soou con tent. To our certain knowledge we never before heard of a case where more courage and true bravery was dis played by either male or female.—* ?pringfuid Record What He Did. —“Mr. Smith, you said you once officiated in the pulpit— did you mean that you preached ?” “No, sir, I held the light for the man who did preach.” “Ah, the court un derstood you difi’erently. They sup post and that the discourse came direct ly from you.” “No, sir; I only threw light on it.” ♦- That man is rich who has a good disposition —who is naturally kind, patient, cheerfu., hopeful, and who has a flavor of wit and fun iu his composition. ■■ Sigr How doth the little busy pig improve each shining hour, and gath er sausages all day from every open ing flower?
