Errors-
The follnwinn essfiy was writt rt n h? a
young lady at Waco University, Texas. It
is worthy of petusal j
N' W there are imifiy, great, *nd of
out* kinds. S me are errors committed by
in lividuals. (I never commit any myself,
and therfi-re, think I’m competent to act as
corrector.) Others, are errors into which
the community in general, are likely to fall.
It is of thesp latter, I wish more especially
to speak. Not so as those into which our
country are likely to fall, but those into
which* it has already fallen ; and so low,
that I fear it will never rise. I imagine I
can hear you saying to yourselves, ”0h !
I yes, now she is going to rail on intemper
ance, darning, gambling, or something of
that kind : ’ ‘'But “she” is not going to do
anything of the sort. Just wait, you’ll see
what or who, “she” is going to rail against.
; I fully expect my young lady friends will
I open their eyes in holy horro**, when they
hear the statement I am about to make,
viz i that one of the greatest errors of the
day, in my estimation, is the mania that
young men have f.-r professions, and young
ladies for those who follow them.
For myself, I look upon the greater num
ber nf professional men as iitterally noth
ing but “ professors aid yet, in the opin
ion of our aristocratic young ladies, (fine
judges) they are a second-class professional
man. (about the last thing I know of.) is far
preferable to a first-class farmer or mechan
ic. Isn’t that an error? Yes, and a most
glaring one.
The contempt in which farmers and
nr echanics are held, is having a runious
effect on our c uritry. Just look at our
young men. The first thought after they
leave college, which many do, before they
have half completed their course, is, what
profession shall I choose?” And forthwith
they begin to strut ab »ut in “ store clothes
and Carry big calf-bound books under their
arms, and perhaps a mite or two of their
cont nts in their heads, and proceed t - pro-
Jess Beware! girls, they will profess a
good deal o you that they don’t mean ;
thinking you will be silly enough to beleive
them—arid most of you will, just because
vou think it sounds so fine to reply to the
question ; “who is that youug gentleman
'fiat i- with you so much ? * Oli, lie is a
young doctor, or someone, in the profession
al line. Di<l you never notice that the first
question a girl asks about a man, is, “wtiat
is he?” and wh is it that our young men
seek thus after a profession? or anything
'hat is, as they think, above a mechanic?
Sunply because the women of our land
look down on such ; and deny as they may,
men are the verier slave to the smiles of
women, and not the most Sensible ones eith
er, that is the worst of it. They prove this
fact daily by the way they act.
For instance, by setting up to be doctor
after reading medicine about e year, and
attending a few lectures ; and they think
the M. D., thus obtained, is all that is nec
essary to secure them one of the high places
in society, and in a great measure, they are
correct. Is this right? Is not this tin error?
These M. D’s will entertain one mostly, by
talking obout their numer tus patients. The
greater Dumber of them they w ill tell you,
are very severe cases Upon investigation,
if you will but take the trouble to do so.
you will find to be mostly “unbleached
Americans,” dwelling in the aristocratic
regions, bordering on ihe river, or some of
the suburban sttlements of the city. These
deciples of E-culapius will come into church
late, just returned from a professional visit,
will frequently leave church during service
been Culled away you know—perhaps,
paid the “runer” the last dime they had
Such things are often done, to my certain
knowledge. Such a man is far superior to
an industrious farmer or mechanic is’ot
he? Everyone to his taste! Then look
at our yohng lawyers ; I mean the second
class ones. Oh. they are such a noble set
of chaps 1 ! Just see them rushing to and
f’rt m the Court House, with grent robs of
papers, tied with red tape, in tlo ir hands,
and a law book or two under their arms.
£ee that frown on their intellectual brows
(if their glossy tressels are not combed so
low as to hide said brows), trying to look
troubled as if some momentous case was
pending, and talking about “our case,”
particularly if some girls (fashionable ones,
of < ourse,) happen to be passing near. How
much do you suppose such men make a
y*-*ar?—not euough to keep them in tobacco,
(for they are sure to smoke) at least not by
their prafession. I have heard of other
wavs by which such men make money and
then once in a while paternal ancestors
give them a little change. Would it not
be better for about half of them to learn
B"me good trad«* instead of crowding the
law until there is nothing to be made at it?
T 8 indeed, and I think many oft( em
woo and, w T ere it not for our contemptible,
pr ui girls, w ho would, as they well km w,
sc rn them Oh I what an error.
Then, our dry goods clerks—l d< n’t
mean all, for there are exceptions to every
ru e—what dear lirile creatures they are 1
Look at their lbtle white handr! their huge
crav;its! their perfumed handkerchiefs !
their getting up in general ! Now don’t
you admire those wielders of the yard
stick, those calico tearers 1 There is so
mnch in their business to elevate the miml
and make them manly ! You girls Woold
rather marry one of them than the stalwart
mechanic whose sinewy arm has created
these noble edifices which beautify our city.
Is not this an error of taste? I don't see
how any sensible person can think other
wise. This order of town clerks is my
special abomination. I don’t fancy any
thing on the bandbox style. But you sav
mechanic are so rough and uneducated.
Very true, most, of them are, hut why? be
cause every youth who can equecz- himself
into a store as clerk, at about S2O per
month, or get to be office boy for some doc
tor or lawyer, will do so rather thafi leffrn
a trade, for for by so doing he knows he
will sign his death warrant to society. Is
not this an error ? The farmers and me
chanics arc the heart of our nation, and
when the heart ceases to heat, death ensues.
So. if those noble classes of our citizens
cease to strike, our professional men may
as well take in their shingle.
Now for our Professors of Literature, or
iu other words, our Teachers—but I'm
most afraid to say much ab ut them, for
whatever way I <ook, I see one of these
ominous beings looking under his brows at
me—it is a way fhey have —but there is
nothing like bearding the lion in his den.
So I will proceed. I look upon teachers, in
general, ns a set of humbugs, here are ex
ceptions, of course, Prof. B, for instance;
I don’t like to be too personal. B may
stand for a heap of names. I consider him
perfection personified, but then teachers
are mostly a self conceited, pedantic, ego
tistical class of people. Why, one won't he
in a room ten minutes without showing his
nr her calling (the women ate worse than
the men). Er my part I don't see why a
professor wants to be always propounding
mathematical problems or asking questions
in grammar, nor why a doctor should be
forever feeling one’s pulse. But let us
drop teachers, I don’t like the topic. Poor
things ! I reckon they are a necessary evil!
Yen, I am going to say something about
preachers, too, they shan’t go scott free, no
indeed, but I’ll handle them gently (for
they won’t bear close inspection). On the
while, I think preachers are a very good
sort of oiks, but many of them are eeif
riglue >us ph»risees, and I fear some tiy
that calling when they fail at all others,
but enough of them.
Now, in the foregoing, I have had refer
ence only to our second-class professional
men, and only as certain classes of clerks ;
of course, I don’t pretend to say they are
all of that stamp ; but, following a profes
sion is getting to be such a desease, that the
greater number of professional men are de
cidedly second-class, and sadly effected
with the enlargement of the head—not from
growth of brain, however. I hope, sincere
ly hope, that the time will come when our
farmers and mechanics will be able to bolu
their places in society besides the first of
the land, and if We want an educated, in
telligent class of working men, we, the Wo
men of the country, must cease to look upon
work as a disgrace—which is a most egreg
ious error—but respect, honor men that
wi rk, and then young men of mind and
culture will not object to learning a trade.
We tire the ones on whom the duty of ele
vating the working class of men devolves.
Then let us at once, commence the work of
reformation, it is leap year and we can
send our cards to our working friends ; but
don’t let u& put on any extra airs, such as
please our professional chaps, for they will
have too much sense to admire that sort ot
thing, and dou’t let us treat them in a con
descending manner, for I tell you, that
don’t do ; but let us act a true woman, and
show to the world that we appreciate the
jpwel, be the setting never so humble. One
more caution; When you are entertaing in
your parlor, a beau that makes and honest
living by the sweat of his face, and it be
comes necessary fur you to leave for a short
time to assist in some domestic concerns—
if indeed, you are competent to render any
assistance—don’t tell him a lady wishes to
see you, or something equally as false, he
won’t think any the less of you because you
know how to work—your doctor, or lawyer
beau, might—bur, you have taught them to
look down on work. But mark me, if vou
marry a laboring man, your cbanc**, for
work are mueh iess than they would be
were you to marry a second class profes
sional man.
Now girles, let us pick out a first-class
mechanic or farmer, lor a sweetheart, cul
tivate him for a year, and see, if, at the
end of that peri* and, ha is not equal to a
second- rate professional man—not a hard
ta>k I fancy. What say you ?
Uommon Sense.
The man who on his wedding day starts
as a lieutenant in the family will never get
promoted.
“Where have you been since the cow
kicked ?” is a delicate way the Chicagoans
have of referring to the late calamity.

e clip the following item from the Sa
vannah Republican of Monday last:
There is a reinnrkab’e resemblance in
nil their singular features, between the
Tichborne case in England, that has been
exciting so much interest on both sides of
the Atlantic fur several in >nths past, and
one which occurred in this State some
twenty-five fears ago. We think Jones
county was the theatre.
‘ A wealthy man named Bunkley had
among other children, a son named Jesse,
who was of a wild, restless disposition, and,
when a boy, suddenly disappeared. Years
passed, and no intelligence was received
from the wonderer. In the course of time
Bunkley, senior, sickened and died, having
in disposing of his property by will, made
provision for the absent son in the event
that he shoul 1 re-appear, though everybody
believed him dead. The estate was ad
ministered, and the property divided among
the legatees, or at least, those who were
known to be In life.
Many years afterwards—we do not know
how long—a man appeared who represent
ed himself to be Jesse Bunkley, who, after
a long residence in Texas, hearing of the
death of his father, came forward to claim
his inheritance, In appearance he was
about the man Jesse Bunkley, hoy, should
have made. Many win) knew Jesse Bunk
ley testified that they recognized the man
and even Mrs. Bunkiey, who was still liv
ing. at one time thought she recognized in
him her long-lost son. He was thorough
ly familial with almost every little incident
in the life of young Bunkley, his habits,
his schoolmates, the Various localities which
he was in the habit of frequenting, and
even with the residents of the neighborhood
in the days When Bunkley was a boy. To
all this we may add the remarkable fact
that scars and marks on his person corrcs
ponded exactly with those known to be on
the person of Bunkley.
The remainder of the heirs, however, re
fused to recognize his claim, and he accord
ingly brought suit in Jones Superior Court
fur his full share of the estate. The case
was a long and severely litigated one, en
gaging, on either side, some of the best
1 -gal tilent of the State, and some of the
developments were most remarkable, so
much su that public opinion was staggered
and greatly divided of the claimant’s iden
tity with Jesse Bunkley. The cause,
though, eventually went against him and
was soon followed by a criminal prosecu
tion, which resulted in a verdict of guilty
and sentence to the penitentiary, whero he
served out his full term. What became of
him afterwards, we never heard.
“Ilow exactly does this history tally with
that of the Tichborne claimant, who after a
long struggle in the civil court, now fiuds
himself a prisoner in Newgate.
Tlie Death-rate*
An examination of life statistics of the
census of this country and of Uurope re
veals many interesting particulars. The
number of deaths in Europe every year is
1 out of every 42 inhabitants, or 2 38 100
per cent., nearly double the average death
rate in the United States, which is 1 for
every 81 inhabitants, or 1 23-100 per cent.
1 he leading countries of Europe presents
the following annual bills of mortality :
Inhabitants.
England 1 death to every 40
Denmark 1 death to every 45
Belgium * . *.. 1 death to every 43
Norway * 1 death to every 41
Sweden ; 1 death to every 41
Austria.... 1 death to every 40
Prussia... .* 1 death to every 30
France 1 death to every 32
The life-tables of the United States show
a much Wider range; from the highest,
Arkansas, where annual deaths are one to
every forty-nine inhabitants—a little over
two per cent, of the population—to the
lowest, Oregon, whose death-rate is less
than one-half of one per ceDt., or one to
every two hundred and nine inhabitants.
The billowing classification, or grouping, of
the Stare and Territories will be found in
teresting, ana valuable, also, as a directory.
It exhibits the average yearly proportion of
deaths to population :
New England States 1 in G 8
Middle States 1 in 88
Southern States 1 in 70
Western States 1 in 81
Northwestern States 1 in 120
Pacific States 1 in 115
Atlantic States 1 in 80
Gulf States 1 in G3
Mississippi Valley States lin 80
These tables, which will be new to most
persons, are another evidence how highly
we in this new country of ours, are favored.
It is a general idea that the longevity of the
Old \YYrU exceeds that of the New, but, if
it is so. it is so only in special classes—
those rai-ed by wealth and rank and social
privilege among the many.
“Hunting the tiger, gentlemen,” observ
ed an English officer, relating his East
India experience to a friendly circle at a
London club, “is capital sport—nothing
better—except when the tiger takes it into
his head to hunt you ; then it is apt to be
come too exciting.”
