know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On thecon

in writing you is to find out. upon what terms I can

upon easy terras, I shall use a great deal of it, lan
aware that the use of such articles Is contrary to the
teachings and practice of a great, majority of the reg

REiDTFIR WiUl’!
BY MBS. B. B. GLEASON, M. D.
("We wish thtit every young lady
who reads The Post, would read tlie
following article at least twice—not
hastily an 1 skiimningly, but earnestly
and carefully. It contains just that
advice which the great majority of
American girls greatly need.— Edltou
of “The Saturday Evening Post:”]
A young lady ia her school career
said, “One year more here, and I grad
uate; another year at a seminary in
the city to finish; rext, I will read and
travel a year, and then I shall be
ready.”
“Heady for what ?” said my friend
whom she was addressing. The young
miss looked puzzled a moment, and
then replied, blushingly, ‘To get mar
ried, I suppose.”
In a recent number of Tlie Herald
of Health, we have gone over with
some of the sins and sicknesses inci
dent to the sehoollife of oul- young la
dies. Now we will cousi ler “ What
next ?” They are ready for what ? It
may be to get married, it may be not.
As we do not propose to treat young
ladies like charming vas< s placed in
shop windows ready to be selected and
set in private homes; therefore, the
question ready for what ? is to us of
earnest praeticlo import. Many beau
tiful girls are earnest souls, who, when
the freshness of freedom irom school
routine is over and the first charm of
the coining out is past, look around
longingly for something to live for be
yond the diversions of tne passing days.
Some rush into gayeties for which they
have no relish, or worse, into wedded
life, which they did not really want,
merely because there is in them a fund
of life-force which longs to be expend
ed, or because they want anew sensa
tion.
The question of work and wages for
women, is not the one under consider
ation. Though it is a part of our dai
ly thought to meet this great want.—
But the question to which our pen now
points is, What shall a genteel young
lady do, after her graduation, to save
body and soul ? for both will go to ru
in if not usefully employed. A house
with a good tenant lasts longer than
one empty.
Yes, we must all work out our own
salvation, by working for the world,
even if our friends have funds enough
to feed and clothe us. By this, we do
not mean that growing girls or grad
uated girls, should be burdened with
business heavy for heart or hand.—
They should have time to bud and blos
som; bask iu the sunshine, develops
and enjoy their beauties, or like colts
and lambs, frisk with the mere delight
of existence.
Many girls are hopelessly broken by
work of body and brain too heavy for
them, before they are sufficiently con
solidated to endure well. Wometirnes
a keen sense of religious responsibility
goads them on to undertake more than
they can bear. The growing Christian
sense of ripening girlhood needs to be
held back, rather than to be hurried
forward into work hard for either mus
cle or mind.
But what shall you do where spirit
ual life or physical needs have not yet
put you in pressure of any sort, aud
who stand, diploma in hand, ready for
what ?
First, if any of you have pressed
your mental powers so hard in order
to graduate with honor, that the mus
cular system has lost its tone, then
bring it up by due attention as j’ou
would any back lesson, the basis of
one in advance. Don’t let this feeble
ness settle into a chronic weariness, so
that general debility shad be your gen
eral for the rest of your life. Remem
ber that the lassitude which often en
sues after a long couise of study, is
because the forces of the system have
been exhausted through the brain, and
that the muscles are weak not only
from disease, but because the electri
cal fire or the nerve fluid has been so
expended, that there is too little left
to infuse muscular vigor. So, first,
vegitate. Take bodily exercise and let
the brain rest. If you are so fortu
nate as to have a sensible mother, who
lives in a simple way in a quiet house,
she can help you into a practicle
knowledge of housekeeping, and up to
good health at the same time.
Have you cold feet, pressure of blood
to the head, loss of appetite, constipa
tion ? Domestic work, cheerfully done
is an excellent remedy for all these.—
Remember, cheerfully done. A bad
spirit spoils any remedial means. You
don’t like it ? "Very probably, but you
can come to like it. To fiud the crown
that lies beneath every cross, it must
be shouldered and carried cheerfully,
not shirked half the time, dragged the
other half.
Return to the mother who has been j
so tenderly longing for you, not to be j
a pretty parlor ornament merely, or;
worse, a genteel invalid, but to share j
the duties which often rest too heavily
on the maternal head of the household, j
Yes, not only share them, but soon be j
able to shoulder them all, and thus add'
length and strength to the days of one
who has done so much for you.—
Grown-up daughters come on just when
the mother most needs help. As she
nears first half-century she should
have a season of leisure for rest and
retrospect, and then she will recuper
ate and be ready for active service for
years to come, with less of beauty and
more of wisdom than characterized her
earlier days. Every farmer recognizes
this principle in reference to his favor
ite family horse, and so turns out the
noble animal into a good pasture for a
whole summer, saying, “It will pay in
the end.”
Human nature and horse nature are
not unlike in this, and many do not
live out half their days for want of this
year of jubilee like that appointed for
the Jews.
Gentle, patient, devoted women for
lack of this release go beyond the ral
lying point, and so die early or live in
invuhdism. Mothers are over-indulg
ent, aiid daughters are more thought
less than heartless, and both are debil
itated—oue by overwork, the other for
lack of it. As to home duties, let ev
ery young lady honor the estate in
which God has placed her. Jesus
weut from the temple at Jarusalem to
Nazareth, and was subject to His par
ents, or, as we suppose, helped Joseph,
he being a carpenter. So when you
leave your temple of knowledge and
go to your home, be subject to your
mother, ready to help her, and as soon
as possible give her rest from her la
bors for a time. If she keeps house
and does her own work, you should
soon be able to assume all her duties.
If she has a great house, many serv
ants, and a large social circle, then her
position is still more trying, and she is
in greater need of release. Perhaps
there is an invalid in the family, or
wild girl, or wayward boy, or a back
ward scholar, who need bringing up
for day and Sunday-shool, who tax
your tired mother. If so, assume one
after another of these responsibilities
as fast as you are able, and she will
breathe easier and sleep sounder.
She has turned her own life-current
always for your comfort, and now she
cannot ask y.u to sacrifice yourself'
for her, so you must do it without be- i
ing asked, and when you have cheer
fully assumed one after another of hei
duties, she will rejoice in the rest a
daughter gives more than from any j
other source.
Surely, a young lady after a three or !
four years course at sciiool, should not
come home more useless than when
she went away, more helpless than
those of her own age who have not en
joyed these advantages. Sue should
have patience enough to manage chil- j
dren, character enough to control bir- j
ed gills. If she can’t fiud a good do- j
mestic she must make one out of raw j
material, for there is plenty of that ev- !
erywhere. Every good mistress is able j
to control her cwn spirit aud another’s
too.
I speak thus plainly, because I find
those who seem to have lost all their
health and common sense at school, if
they ever had any.
But whv do I make so much of
knowledge of domestic economy ? Be
cause it is the best basis for good bus
iness ability iu any department.—
Physical strength, patient energy in
duties disagreeable are thus develop
ed.
When I talk to you about house
keeping, don’t dream that I expect you
will soon all have a house of your own
to keep, or that you will always keep
house for your mothei. But I speak
of it as your teacher did of mathemat
ics and Latin, a good foundation for
the future, aud also an occupation or
an accomplishment to which you can
turn when necessary.
So much for the hands of young
graduates—now for the heads, which
have been doing their best with the
best of help these many y t ars. Is your
course of study finished? Are you to
make no further attainments in science
and literature, and only to be busy
forgetting what you have learned ?
I once lived in a neighborhood of
Dutch Yankees, who made free use of
the word “busy.”. When riding past
the house of one of them, seeing a boy
near the door, my friend asked, “Is
your father iu V” “Yes,” answered the
lad. “Ask him to come out.” “He
can’t,” was the answer. “Why not ?”
“Cause.” said the boy, “he is busy a
dying.” This is a fact.
*So often girls emancipated from do
mestic work, aro “busy a dying.”—
Their bad, bodily habits invite debility
and disease. Their bad, mental hab
its make them dreamy and forgetful.
How few, after leaving school, read to
any purpose beyond the amusement of
the hour, or seeing bow the story turns
out, which practice is ruinous to mem
ory. Well, what shall you read? -
First, read with the purpose of beiug
intelligent in someone direction. Out
of the the range of history and litera
ture, select what you like best, if you
can. If not, what opportunity offers.
Now that books are so plenty on
Botany, Chemistry, Geol< gy, Concliol
ogy, Astronomy, etc., there surely ought
to be something between the heavens
above and the earth beneath, which
could interest a well educated young
lady, so that she need not be driven
for mental diversion to the w T ild fan
cies of story writers, who depend for
their inspiration on the excitement of
late hours and the inspiration of tea,
coffee, tobacco, brandy, aud opium.
When rid ng on the broadest l ikes,
the grandest rivers, amid scenery the
finest that earth affords, you see some
young ladies more interested in some
| new' romance of unreel life, than in all
! the wonders and beauties about them,
j Such travel seems to us a sad waste of
time.
A friend of ours camo from Califor
nia around the Cape, for the benefit of
her health—a six months’ voyage. —
During the first few days after leaving
San Francisco, there were many ex
pressions of pleasure on the part of
the Indies, at the prospect of the long
voyage. The captain said, on hearing
them, “Yes, ihe ladies will dress up
and keep bright and on deck for a few
days, and then they will grow gloomy
and say it is dull and stupid, and take
to their berths and read novels for the
rest of the way, and wo shall have
none of their company.”
My friend, though a delicate invalid,
determined that the prophesy should
not hold true in her case. So she
spent a large share of her time on deck,
talking with the captain as she had
opportunity. He finding in her an
intelligent listener, took evident pleas
! ure in instructing her in the art of
I navigation, sayuig it was new to find
a lady who knew anything about tho
wav of a ship at sea.
Before th. y reached New York the
captain was sick, and she, with the
mate, made the bearings and kept the
records. Y'ou ask, perhaps, if she be
came a sailor on the high seas. No.
she went to her Westtrn home, and
married the man who had beeen so pa
tiently waiting for her to get well.—
Then you say, “What good did all
this do her ?” First, the voyage was
more interesting to her, and hence did
her more good. A journey enjoyed,
lienefits health unspeakably more than
one merely endured. Besides this, the
intelligence gathered will always be a
source of pleasure to her and to her
many a frieds. Surely when three
fourths of the earth is ocean and we
are brought over the great waters to
our desired haven, it is not of some in
terest to know how it is done ?
Not only sea-captains, but men ev
ery where, fiow coal-diggers to con
gressmen, are ready to instruct young
ladies iu relference to their craft, it
they lead off quietly with a few inqui
ries aud then give appreciative atten
tion to the replies. A good listener is
the best of company, especially if the
listener is a bright young lady. Our
girls could glean a great amount of
science and sense from fathers an l
brothers, by cultivating an acquaint
ance with their occupation whatever
it may be.
There is no handicraft which meets
any human need, but it is good to
know about. Os course, no oue can
learn every thing, so we can only glean 1
from what is wituin our reach, aud not j
grasp in vain for what is beyond it.— {
JJut you say, what is the use of all this, |
when the chief occupation of women is ;
housekeeping. Fiftt, there is strength
and comfort in the knowing. Second,;
“a stone fitted for the wail will not ;
long lie in the road.” A Spanish prov
erb and a true one. Among many
young ladies who have come in my way
wanting work, I do not remember one
for whom I could not find a good place
and good pay, if there were anything
she could do well.
But to our point. Is your father a ,
lawyer? If so, let him select reading ,
for you from his own library. Surely,
if you have studied the higher ruathe- j
rnutics, you ought to be sharp enough j
to learn something of the law's of state
and nation, with such a teacher as a
loving fattier.
A few days since, I listened w’itli
great interest to the examination of a
class of young ladies, who had been
studying Civil Government. They
talked iuteligcntly of state rights, of
the power of the President, the Senate
| and House, the Wilmot Proviso, the
Missouri Compromise, etc. Surely,
these points are of more practical in
terest than heathen mythology, or the
history of those nations long extinct.
Is your father a clergyman? Then
you can have the best oi help iu sacred
literature, and in turn help him in his
work among his people, in prayer
meeting, in Sunday Sciiool, and in his
study. I know a very interesting
young lady, the daughter of an emi
nent clergyman, who, for a few years,
has written all her father’s sermons
and they were written well, too. The
father had in early life a nervous dis
ease which prevents his writing, so he
would dictate while the wife wro e,
and when the wife became ill, the
grown-up daughter took her place.—
Though her school course is much less
complete than she desired, iu real mon
: tal culture she is in advance of most of
! her age. Os course, having written
; critically so many years, she is a good
i judge of books, sermons, lectures, etc.
If your father is a physician, then
: know something of the human frame,
its infirmities, and the modes of relief.
At least have a general idea of his rem
edies and for what they are used.
I once asked a young lady, who was
suffering severely from inhumation of
the eyes, w hat had been done for them,
j “Well,” she said, “1 have tried almost
everything, even to horse liniment.”—
“How is that ?” I asked. “\\ hy, I sent
to our family physician for something
to put on my eyes, and as the doctor
was not in, his wife sent me what she
supposed to be eye-water, but which 1
found afterward was liniment just made
; up for a neighbor’s horse.”
Drugs are so numerous iu their
compounds, that it takes more than
; the nve senes to divine all, but one
should know what they don’t know.
Do not fancy that I want to make
doctors, lawyers, or divines of you all
iu a hurry. No, rejoice in your grad
uation, be glad in j'our girlhood, enjoy
the springtime, i only wit hR> prompt
you to sow the seed of Christian sense,
common sense, and science, so that
when tiie dewy freshness of your spring
flowers have faded, that your life may
| not be lacking any green thing, but
rather growing a richer harvest, less
beautiful, but more enduring.—The
; Herald of Health.
A servant girl in Allatoona re

her astonishment to find about a doz

Where the Sun Dues not Set.
The following graphic passage is from
the description of a scene witnessed by
a Sir. Campbell and his party in the
North of Norway, from a cliiP one
thousand feet above the sea:
The ocean stretches away in silent
vastness at our feet. The sound of its
waves scarcely reached our airy look
out. Away in the north the huge old
sun swung low along the horizon, like
the blow beat of the pendulum in the
tall clock of our grandfather’s parlor
corner. We all stood silent, looking
at our watches. When both hands
came together at twelve, midnight, the
full orb hung triumphantly above the
wave —a bridge of gold running due
north, spanned the water between us
and him. There he shone in silent
majesty, which knew no setting. We
involuntarily took off our hats; no
word was said. Combine, if you can,
the most brilliant sunrise and sunset
you ever saw, and its beauties will pale
before the gorgeous coloring which j
now lit up ocean, heaven and moun
tain. In half an hour the sun had
swung up perceptibly on bis beat, the
colors changed to those of morning, e
fresh breeze rippled over the Hood, oue
songster after another piped up in the
grove behind us—we slid into another
day.
Transmission of Mental Disease. —
Dr. Charles Elam, an English physi
cian, has just published a book in
which medical problems are discussed.
Os the transmission of mental disor
ders, he says:
“There is no form of heritage more
remarkable than that of the ttndeney
to suicide without any other marks of
abberration of intellect. Dr. Winslow
relates the case of a family where all
the members exhibited, when they ar
rived at a certain age, a desire to com
mit self destruction; to accomplish
which the greatest industry and inge-
I nuity were manifested. Dr. Gall re
lates a very striking instance of seven
| children of one man, who all enjoy a
! competency and good health, yet all
! possessed a rage for suicide, and all
i yielded to it within thirty or forty
j years. ‘Some hanged, some drowned
themselves, and others blew out their
1 brains.’ Many other examples of the
same tendency are brought forward
:by the same writer. I may add one
case to the above from my own expe
| rience. Sitting one day with an ac
quaintance, I noticed some depression
jin his spirit s. After a prolonged si
lience, he broke out in the following
j dreary attempt at conversation: ‘My
i grandfather hung himself, my uncle
j took poison, my father shot himself,
I shall cut my throat.’ The facts
were correct; but constant surveilance
prevented the sequel in bis own histo
ry."
It is curious fact that men who
have been prodigal of their lives in battle
and have passed through many “hair
breadth escapes i’ th’ imminent deadly
breach,” should have so great a dread
of death when it comes from the hand
of an assassin. It is said that Crom
well was never seen to smile after he
had read “Killing no Murder” iu
which was advocated his assassination.
Sir Neil Campbell, iu his journal lately
published gives us a graphic account
of the fear which Napoleon felt for his
life during the journey from Fontain
ebleau to Elba. Oa leaving Oruge,
where he had been received with de
rision and abuse, he left his carriage,
and, enveloping himself in a Russian
cloak, and wearing tho white cockade
in a common rouud hat, he rode on in
advance of hi3 escort, accompanied by
only a single courier, and during the
rest of the journey repeatedly changed
name and clothes with the commission
ers who accompanied him. So chary,
then, of life was the hero of Lodi.—

were partners iu the grocery, and that

to receive her; and the defendant took
her home again and put a heavy yoke
on her to prevent her from jumping
