Doctor, it hurt* me to 'gee a
growing tendency to wildness
among our girls here i n Miaaissip
pi.
Some mothers are in a great
hurry to get their girla out into
aociety and have them recieve the
attention of the young men. The
fact ia, we have few girlß now,
and I am aorry for it, for I alwaya
loved girla. W» have children
and young men and young ladies.
Tlmy have about done away with
boyg and girla—the “frying size”
among young folks. Tuese boys
that would be young men are the
biggest “gooases I ever saw, ax
oept the girla who would be young
ladies
1 neae girls, Doctor, I am aorry
io say but they permit the boys
to take too many liberties.. Kith
c ousins and hardly suitable for
brothers and sisters.
The way they take on weald do
for a newly married coup/e,
provided they were at home iu a
private room were no on# would
see them.
Now, Doctor, you needn't say
•‘pooh ! pooh ! nonsense l” or some
thing of that kind, for I tell you|it
ia ao. If thia tnirg isn't stopped
trouble ia going to come of it as
sure as you are barn. Trouble of
the worst kind has already come
of it here in Miasissipjai, bat the
name way, and silly mothers say :
“Well, Mr. Jones’ girls do wrong
and disgrace themselves, but my
gills wi tdo so.’ Some folks
forget human nature is pret
ty much the same all over the
world,
I may be wrong, but somehow
I keep a thinking tnat we are
| too loose in our family govern
inini these dates—indeed I nt'ght
say we have no family govern
ment.
The girls we too loose, too“slack
twis ed, ’and too bold in their asso
ciai ions with the boys these days.
They may not mean any harm at
the start, but harm wil l come of it
la most c*see as sure as ycu live.
Why, D< ctor, I know of a good
many girls now, whose good name
and character are alreudy smirch
ed ; and the girls exposed them
selves to all that has been said
I don’t know that they have done
real bad things, but they have
skimmed along s# close to the
edge of sin that their garments
bate been fouled.
Doctor, if my wife were to die I
don’t know what I would do for
another wife. I don’t want to
marry an old ugly w oman, an .1 I
wouldn’t have one of these fast
girls. I’m afraid they are DOi as
clean every way as a man s wife
ought to be. When 1 do meet
a leal modest, nice, prudent, girl
I can’t help loving her. She is so
pure and sweet I don * Bee how
any «ne csd help from loving her.
The foolish boys and bad boys
always pay the most attention to
the fastest girls until they get
too far a'ong andHheu the hoys
quit waiting on them in com
pany.
Ido hepe, Docior, that there is
not *s much loosenness in the as
sociations of the young fo'ks in
n «orgia as therein here in Missis t
ippi. Ilf there*i* I am sorry for
the Georgia that is to be thirty or
forty years from this tut*

Sentimental parasols, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer are to be in
fashionable andcoqnetish use this
summer. They will b. to their
carriers what sane are to the belles
of Spain—implements of devasta
tion to male heart... This was tac
»tly agreed up*n by all the New
York girles, who kept up with the
procession just as soon as they
saw that elaborate and pietnresque j
sun-shades were to be a feature of
summer life at the resorts; but it i
tbat anj concert ot action was ar- ,
ranged. I was then present at a
secret conference of a small but.
highly influential number of our 1
most approved belles, and i was
delegated to publish the outcome
of the important deliberations
After a general discussion of the
question a t issue, during which it
was abuudandantly set forth that
inanimate articles can be employ
ed effectively in tlirtatiou, and
greatly to the relief of facial ex
pression—besides possessing tbe
advantage of being noncommittal
-—the following code of signals
and significances was aoopted ur.an
imously:
Opening the parasol quickly
with tbe point upwards—You in
terest me.
Closing in the same mauuer—l
am not favorably impressed by
jou,
Openiug with the point down
ward—Acquaintance would not be
disagreeable to me.
Closing similarly—An advance
would be repelled.
Closed and carried over the
right shoulder—Beware of observ
era.
Closed over the left shoulder—
We are watched.
Revolved s'owly while open—l
like you.
Revolved rapidly while open—l

Used as a cane—You mav walk

Laid across the lap —You may

Curried under the right arm—
Yes
Carried under the left arm—
No.

It was m the evening after a
great battle. Among the many
who bowed to the conqueror death
i hat, nighi was a youih in the first
freshness of life. Ihe strong limbs
lay listless and the dark hair was
matted with gore on the pale broad
forehead. His eyes were closed
As one who ministeied to the suf

“TVow I lay me down to sleep;

i If I should die before I wake,

And this I ask for Jesus’ sake,’
Opening his eyes and meeting
the pi Jiug gize of brother soldier
he exclaimed:
“My mother taugbi me that

said it every night since I could
remember. Before the morning
dawns I believe Oo<\ will take my

He was carried to a tempoary
hospital, and to his mother he die
fated a letter full of Christian faith
and filial love. Just as the sun
rose his s| nit went home, his las!
articulate words bring:

Monday was election day at the

acquainted with the custom* and

bill little comprehension of the ex

sits as a cour'. and from its de. is e
ions there seems to be no appeal.
It would be hsrd to define ihe lim
it of its legal powers, it cun and
loes affix penalties which the laws
and court* of Washington Territo
iy do not warrant, and tl ey ar
scrupulously applied. For in
siauoe, a Frenchman was brought
before (lie council for loafing
aboiu the agency and dishonor

to receive fifty lashes and have
his head shaved and decorated

There are some people, yes
many people, all looking out foi
slights. They cauuo/ carry on the
daily intercourse of (he family
without some offense is imagined,
if they meet an acquaintance on
the street who happens to be pre
occupied with business, they a/tri
bnte his abut ran ion of some mood
personal to themselves, and take
umbrage accordingly. They l.iv
on others iLe fact cf their irritabd
ity. A fit of indigestion makes
them see impertinence in every
one ihey come in contact. Inno
cent persons who never dreamed
of giving offense, are astonished
to find some iinfortunaia word or
inoiueutary taciturnity mistaken
for au insult. To say the least,
/lie habit is unfortunate. There
are people in this world who have
some-tiling to no besides talking,
joakingand complimenting. There
are persons who get too weary to
answer loolish questions repeated
again and again There are per
sons who now and then appreciate
tie pi i vilege of a moment's thought
or silence, end it is not needful
f 0 r over sensative persons to con
slrue weariness and care and labor
into indifference, unkinduess or
contempt. It is far wiser to take
the more charitable view of our
fellow beings and not suppose a
slight is intended unless tbe slight
is open and direct. After all, too,
life lakes its hues in a gr j at de
gree from the color of our mind
If we are frank and generous, the
world treats us kindly. If on the
contrary, we are suspicious, men
learn to be cold aud cautious to
wards us. Let a person get the
reputation of being touchy, and
everybody is under more or less
restraint. aud in this way the
