Wo measured the riotoaa baby Against the cottage-wall— A lily grew at the threshold, And the boy was just as tall! A royal tijer lily. With epota or purple and gold, And a heart liko a jewelled clialtco The fragrant dew to hold. Without, the bluebirds whistled High up in tbe old roof-lrees, And to and fro at the window The red rose rocked her bees; And tbe wee pink fists of the baby Were never a moment still, Snitching at shine and shadow That danced on the lattice-sill! His eyes were wide as bluebells— _ His month like a flower unblown— Tiro little bare feet, like fanny white niice, Peeped oat from his snowy gown; And we thought, with a thrill of rapture That yet had a touch of pain, When June rolls around with her roses, We’ll measure the boy again. Ah me! In a darkened chamber, With the sunshine shut awav, Through tears that fell like a bitter rain, We measured the boy to-day; An! the littlo bare feet, that were dimpled And sweet as a budding rose, hsy eile t.y side together, la the hush of a long repose! Ip from the dainty pillow, White as the risen dawn. The fair littlo face lay smiling, With the light of heaven thereon— And the dear little hands, like rose-leaves, Dropped from a rose, lay still, Aever to snatch at the sunehine That crept on the shrouded sill! We measured the sleeping baby With ribbons white as snow. Tor the shining rosewood casket That waited him below; And out of the darkened chamber \ We went with a childless moan— To the height of the sinless angels Our little one had grown! | Hearth and Home, June ith. Color in Dress. The simplest rules to bo observed ure tho fol- Thc mission of the Public Baby on coming into tbe world is to bowl. The parents of the Publio Baby deem all tbie howling a concord of harmonious sound. They would not have a single note wasted. This is why they manage that it shall always go off in public. This is why it is taken to the theatre to rip and tear in the finest orchestral straino, or insert a screech into the culmina ting moment of tho dying scene. Once, in then and there encountered some one thousand five hundred miserable people, whose enj oymen t was at that moment being destroyed, and who were meekly enduring the yoke, as people have done for ages, of the Public Baby. Tho father of the Publio Baby wears a black suit, creased by long folding in the trunk, a paper collar several days old, a green necktie, a gaily figured vest, and pants of tho same color, as widely apart as possible from the rest of his garments. As to color, he dresses In compartments. He chews tobacco largely, gets out at every station for a drink, puts his ticket in the least known and explored recesses of his clothing, so as to involve a long search for it every time the conductor comes round, and at home keeps a howling and barking pup tied in his back yard—a pup which crowds the debit column of the recording angel’s ledger with the neighbors’ curses. When the pup grows out of the howling and barking stage he sells him and gets another young enough to howl. 'Tisn’t the pup he wants— it’s the howl. He wants it to raise the Public Baby on. The mother of the Public Baby wears a black velvet bonnet more or less faded; it has been hung up where she raised a dust with the broom; her hair is slung around in reck less coils; there is a washday air about it; her hoops arc too large; they show too much about the skirts; she is generally dusty, and often bears many traces of amalgamation with the Public Baby. She married mainly be cause she had a chance: because a man came along; because it is a pait of life to marry. The union has resulted in one, perhaps sever al, Public Babies. Society shudders, without exactly knowing why, on the appearance of each. She doesn’t. She would regard with out alarm the prospect of producing three score and ten. Should you to her hint that Malthus didn’t approve of an excess of infants, she would probably intimate that Malthus might mind his own business. Che Public Baby seems to have a full head of ugliness on the whole time. I examined * the other day whilecomine up here on the cars. When we started from Oakland Point I felt a strange sense of a missing presence I wondered at the cause. * All was soon explain ed. At San Antonio the Public Baby came on board. I had forgotten that this little fiend never missed a trip nor paid a cent. Then I felt at homo. At first this Public Baby cried and howled on general principles. It hadn’t as yet, dis covered any special cause of grievance. It cried because it hadn’t. Its little hands were sticky with something, its little face was sticky; it rubbed its little face with its little sticky hands; the stickiness on its little face was thus amalgamated with the stickiness on its hands, and vice versa. Then, when it had prepared this mixture, it wanted to rub it all over us who sat near by. It clutched at a lady’s hat, or bonnet ribbons, (what do you call them now?) on the foreward seat; it did transfer an irregular spot of molasses-colored brown on the bright blue of the broad silk ribbon; the lady turned; she looked for the moment as if she might be Mr. Herod’s wile or sister; the parents withdrew their sticky offspring; the offspring cried be cause it couldn’t have that lady to paw. # They gave it colored candy. By this the little “well spring of pleasure’’ worked itself still more into an uneasy lump of saccharine and mucilaginous nastiness; the place where the candy went inside of it soon filled up; it cried because it couldn't hold any more; it wanted to go to its father; it went; it then cried to go back to it motker; it went; it then howled to go back to its father. He went into the smoking car. That mother held the Public Baby high up; it cried. She held it low down; it cried. She held it sideways; it cried. SI e held it topside down; then it did cry a trifle less. The rush of blood had stopped it a little. Unfortunately, the mother too soon discovered thin. The child was saved—saved to howl for years. first—When a oolor is selected which is fa* to tho complexion, it is advisable to ^ciato with it tints which will harmonize by JJbgy, because tho adoption of contrasting •Jots would diminish its favorable effect.— ■**d—Whon a color is employed in dress is injurious to the complexion, contrast- colors must bo associated with it, as they .

The mother then made a requisition upon what Mr. Micawber term3 tne ‘‘maternal fount;” but this baby’s holding capacity could not have been large; its internal lacteal, as well as saccharine magazines, were not extensively planned; it couldn’t hold enough, there had been a grave error in its construction; it re minded me of a war steamer built in wartimes at Baltimore; bnilt by loyal contractors; built in such a hurry that they forgot to leave any space for coal bunkers; no room, you see, for fuel. So seemed this baby: nothing should be done in a hurry: the child had reason to cry; it was the revolutionary compiaint of a soul complaining of an inadequr-.te corporeal organi zation. All children should be supplied with roomy coal bunkers. Perhaps this m some degree might remedy the annoyance of the Public Baby— Correspondent of the Sacra mento Reporter: • THE ENFORCEMENT ACT. Hljh-pressure SulTriigc as Enunciated by fongri ss—Provisions of tbe Bill to Carry / Ont the Fifteenth Amendment. The following is a complete and carefully re vised abstract of the bill to enforce the Fif teenth Amendment as passed by both Houses of Congress.

A refusal to receive and give effect to such vote, on the presentation of the voter’s affidavit stating the facts, makes the offender liable to the party aggrieved, and also liable to the punishment provided in section 2. Sec. 4. If any person, by force, bribery, threats, intimidation, or other unlawful means, shall hinder, delay, prevent, or obstruct any citizen from doing any act required as a prere quisite to voting, or shall combine with others for this purpose, he shall be liable, and may be puished as provided in section 2. Sec. 5.

See. C. If two or more conspire, or go in dis guise upon tho pnblio highway, or the premises of another, with intent to violate any provision of this act, or to injure or intimidate any citizen to prevent his free exercise of any right secured to him by the Constitution and laws of the Uni ted States, or because he has exercised the same any such person is guilty of a felony, and may be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisonment not more than ten years, or both; and, thereaf ter, shall be ineligible to office under the United States.

THE “SLEEPING BEAUTY.” The Great Tennessee Woiiiler—An Account by One who has been Her. A letter from Union City, Tenn., dated May 20, says : So much has been already wri tten in regard to the lady knownhere as the “Sleeping Beauty,” that I Can scarcely hope to give yc>u anything new, but will add my testimony to that already given, and make you a plain statement of facts, as I know them from her mother, brother and friends, who now have her in charge in the same house in which I am stopping, and from which I am writing to yon. Miss Susan Caroline Godsay was bom in Obion county, Tenn.. and within ten miles of this city, of poor but very pectable parents. Her father has been dead for over twelve years. Her mother still lives and watches over her loved child, and the sunken eyes and furrowed brow shows plainly Ihe trials and sorrows she has experienced in her duty for twenty-one years. She is very poor, and, to some extent, dependent on the contribu tions of visitors, to take care of and procure proper supplies for ber charge. Miss Godsay was taken sick when abont four yea?3 of age, with what is supposed to be chills ind fever, but which baffled the skill of nurses and physi cians for more than two years, at *hich time she fell into a nervons sleep, from whioh she has not woke since for a longer timethan twelve minntes. She usually sleeps soundly from about 11 o’clock at night until about C in the morning, and through the day awakes about once an honr. Her wakiDg spells tre never of less than four nor more than twelve, but usually about six minutes' duration. In her waking moments she speaks both pleasantly and intelli gently, answers promptly any question asked her, and appears quite happy and contented. One of the strangest points of this strange case is the seeminly total absence of anything like respiration. A piece of the finest polished glass held to her lip3 fails to disclose the slight est trace of breath. Her pulse is perfectly still, and bnt for a nervous and tremulous motion of her body, whioh never censes, yon might al any time call her dead. She has grown daring her affliction from a little child to about the average height of her sex, and weighs ninety-six pounds, and though her body and hands show her very poor in flesh, her face is full and smooth, and her features well developed. Indeed, such a rare style do her features portray that she is not inappropriately called tho Sleeping Beauty of Tennessee. tbjq act, or to different punishment on account of his being an alien, or by, reason of Ms color or race, than is proscribed for the punishment of citizen?, may be fined not more than $1000, or imprisoned not more than onoyear, or both. Sec. 18. Re-enacts^thqCivU ' 1 [RightsBill, of April 9, 18CC, and provides that sections 16 and 17 ot this act shall be enforced according to tho t The Pine Forests Disappearing. Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—It is, literally speaking, a remarkable fact that tho pine forests of Georgia are being pushed out of existence. No doubt exists in the minds of naturalists, geologists, and other classes of men of observation, that all the lands of tho State W6T6 one© under eh ocseil When the water passed away they were left as poor as any sandy beach now is—unable to produce anything. But in the lapse of ages the soil became rich enough to grow vegetation. The pine being the least exhaustive of all our trees—requiring very lit tle to make it flourish, and thriving where noth ing else will live at all—it seems that nature first gave it birth and sustenance. In traversing these forests now, one is slruok with the remarkable fact that all, or nearly all, the younger growth consists of oak, Mckory and other trees requiring' strong land, and not one bush in ten thousand is pine. It looks like this favorite tree will, as time goes on, be su perceded by those of other kinds. If fires are kept from ravaging the woods, they would be reduced to a very limited space in a quarter of a century. Our uncultivated lands are becom ing richer every day by the simple operations of nature herself, and hence are able to sup port forests requiring more nutriment than pine. Now this is in regard to what is going cm in tho open conntry. ' ,. . The second growth of old worn out fields is almost universally of pine, bat as the nnmber of acres contained in these is comparatively very small, the gradual loss of our pine es rapid as it is startling. It seems to be the workings of a law of fiature, and, therefore, must be for the best, is inevitable—inerrable. provisions of said act of April !*, lbilb. Sec. 19, If at any election for member of Congress any person shall vote or attempt to vote in the name of any other person, living, dead or fictitious; or vote more than once, or where he is not entitled,'or mthbatlawful right, or do any unlawful act to securo an opportunity to vote for himself or other person ; or by any unlawful means prevents any voter from freely interferes in any w*y_ with,any tion, or induces such offioer to neglect or violate any law requiring him to ascertain or announce the result of any election; or induces such offi cer to receive an illegal vote, or who shall aid, or advise any officer or voter to violate this act, may be fined not more than $500, or imprison ed not more than three years, or both and shall pay ooeta of prosecution. - ; Sec. 20.

Sec. 23. When any person is defeated for any office except Presidential Elector and mem- OTertfressin g. Tho same want of adaptation of the dress to the occasion, as exMbited in female church cos tume, is shown by the habit prevalent among onr dames of pntting on their showiest garments whenever going out, even should it ba for tho performance only of the most ordinary duty connected with tbe household. Whether it is to the draper’s shop to buy a dozen kitchen towels, to the grocer’s to dabble in butter, or to the butcher's to dribble in the blood of . a sirloin, sho is tbe same finely-dressed personage. She more frequently, however, avoids the inconsis tency of performing hnmble duties in lofty at tire by shifting them to the lowlier and more soberly clad shoulders of her husband. This is one, and not the least, of the ill effecis of tMs habit of female overdress. It unfits women for tho simple and unostentatious duties of house hold life. Our unmarried girls are entirely overdressed. They are allowed to wear such suits as are never worn ty modest maidens in Earope, and are hardly seen in publio by the most matronly persons. The young miss, flauntingly costumed, is sure to attract a notice in the streets wMch should not be agreeable to, and is hsrdly safe for, virgin mod esty. Our countrywomen, as also our country men, are recognized immediately on the high ways of travel by the finery of their dress. The glistening black coat and satin waistcoat, and the silk gown and flimsy bonnet of fasMon, are discerned at once amidst tbe dust of the railway and the smoke of the steamer, as American na tional peculiarities. Apart from the obvious advantage on tho score of economy, of adapting the dress to tho occasion, there are certain moral effects of Mgher impo tance which might be expected from a national reform in this par ticular. Overdress leads to false expectations, and confirms a deceitful vanity, wMch prompts to a pretence of wealth, and the iniquitous means by wMcb it may be supported. It has more to-do than any other single cause with the fall of woman, tho bankruptcy of husbands and the ruin of families. Its effect in destroying female reserve, especially that of the young, as it thus takes away one of the best safeguards of virtue, makes it very pernicious. The excess of dress is certainly tha cause of much of the characteristic vice of the day; and with the general adoption of a much more modest attire there would be less temptation to that part, at least, of the prevailing ill-doing for which wo men are responsible.—The Bazaar Book of De corum (Harper.) Political Before itcligloiis Harmony. The Cotton Market. The Commercial and Financial Chroniole’s re port of last week, says the total receipts for the >ast seven days have reached 22,441 bales against 30,737 bales last week, 44,055 bales the previous week, and 38,286 bales three weeks since), making the aggregate since September 1, 18G9, up to this date, 2,772,432 bales, against 2,016,851 bales for the same period in 1868-9, being an increase this season over last season of 725,581 bales. The market the past week has continued doll and declining. Now that the India cotton has be gun to come.in freely, and the weekly sMpmenta from Bombay to be in excess of the same weeks of last year, the remaining prop to prices has given away and holders appear to be inclined to supply freely whatever demand presents itself, although the stock offering is not very : heavy. But on the other hand buyers are very shy, al most nothing being done for export, while spin ners are only supplying their more pressing wants. Daring yesterday and to-day the market has been unfavorably affected by the failure of certain parties to protect their contracts for fu tures, resulting in a considerable amount being- thrown upon the market for sale, depressing prices largely for forward delivery cotton, so tbst yesterday at one time there was quite a paniky feeling prevailing. To-day, however, the market has been farther depressed by ramozB of very large shipments this week from Bombay and very dull Liverpool accounts, and the close is heavy, though prices are very little changed since yesterday. The sales for forward delivery reach 12,800 bales (all low middling or on the basis of low middling), of which 300 bales were for May, 200 at 21 J, 100 at 21$; 2,950 bales for June, 200 at 21 7-16, 450 at 2l£, 1,050 at 2 If 100 at 21£, 400 at 21 3-16, 750 at 21f, 100 at 21f; 7,300 bales for July, 500 at 21$, 1,250 at 2l|, 1,500at21f, 100 at 22,960 at2H,100at21 7 1-26, 1,500 at 21$, 700 at 21$, 200 at 21$; 400 bales for August, 100 at 21$, 100 at 21 3-1G, 200 at 21$; 300 bales for September at 20$; 700 bales for October, 500 at 19$, and 200 at 19$; 250 bales for November at 19, and COO bales for June and August, one-half each month, at 21$. The total sales for immediate delivery this week foot up 9,900 bales (including 29S bales to ar rive), of which 4,985 bales were taken by spin ners,515 bales on speculation, 3,530 bales for export.

It is now apparent, says tho New York Jour nal of Commerce, that a cessation of political unfriendliness between Noriliom Radicals and the South must precede the establishment of harmonious relations between the religious bod ies of the same denomination in tho two sec tions. It would bo hotter if tho latter consum mation could take placo first and help on the former. But the religious leaders, both North and South, act .as if they thought otherwise, and we do not look for a fraternization of Meth odists or Presbyterians until tho way has been prepared for it by a restoration of cordiality among Northerners and Southerners, belonging to those two sects, in their political relations. The Methodist Episcopal Conference South gave their views on this subject recently with great positiveness, and now the Southern Presbyte- rinn General Assembly take similar ground, of objection to present union with Northern . Pres byterians in even stronger language of refusaL The discussion of the differences on both sides has done one good thing, at all events; it has .developed the full extent of the sumpatMes mu tually felt, and, in the cases of the Presbyterian branches,- has made clearly known the real cause of dissentiou 'between them—and that is this mixing up of polities with religion in some of thi Northern Presbyterian churches. Whenever the Presbyterian Assembly of the North isready to vote against the expediency of commingling religion with politics, wo doubt not that the Southern Presbyterians will receive them with open.anns. The.same is true of the dissevered Methodists. But there is little likelihood that I tMs -will be done for some years—probably not until the unkindly feelings of Radical politics towards the South have ceased to make, them selves manifest in many Northern pulpits.

Supply ana vonsump lutluenees Affecting the Trade. From the Boston Advertiser.] The daily and weekly reports of the market have for many months shown an unsatisfactory condition of the cotton goods trade and manu facture. Tha greater part of the production le&veB no profit to the manufacturer, while the declining tendency of prices has deterred deal ers from making purchases beyond the immedi ate want of consumers. The market will not take the full production in some of the largest lines of goods exoept at prices whioh leave an uncomfortable loss to the manufacturer * upon the cost of the raw cotton worked into them. There are some exceptions, as in the case of special fabrics and fine goods, having an estab lished reputation in market, the whole of whioh are readily token at fair and steady prioes. But these are oMefiy consumed by people who need not economise closely, who can always buy as they want; while tho larger production of coarse and medium goods find consumption among the agricultnral and laboring people chiefly. Upon these the influence of the great fall in the price of grain and other agricultural produce is seri ously felt, as is the effect of every check to the well-paid employment of labor. There is, however, a more important or far- reaching reason for the depression in this trade. Every dealer in cotton goods, from the heaviest jobber in New York to the most remote of re tail distributors, watches the cotton market closely, and is as keen and often a more correct observer of tho main facts in the market for raw cotton, wMch determines its rise or fall, than the cotton speculator or manufacturer who studies mainly such points in the relation of supply and demand as the speculator lays before him. The principal dry goods houses have agents traveling through every district in the South where cotton is grown, and through them learned the truth of the shortened crop grown in 1868, and of the greatly lengthened crop of 1869. For a long time the trade as a body have pursued a conservative course, and during the last year have taken, from week to week, with rare exceptions, only such qualities of goods as they could quickly and without loss distribute. They have known that cotton was too Mgh, and they inferred that cotton goods were too high, and must cheapen.' The great increase in facil ities for transportation also favors frequent re plenishing, and relieves them from the danger in carrying heavy stocks. TMs conservatism by the trade, and the econ omy of the people, whether of choice or ne cessity, have concurred to reduce the demand for cotton fabrics below the needful supply to tho people, and lately below the production of the mills, until it has come about that in the last twelve month our whole population has taken but little if any more weight ot cotton cloth than in the year I860, when its numbers were so much less. Before the war, every well- to-do family had its store of cotton articles for domestic and personal use, beyond the immedi ate want, and tMs surplus was used up by and during the war. Becauso of the Mgher prices since, very little of it has been replaced, and the purchases of each year since 1865 have near ly measured the current needs. It follows that the country has no surplus of cotton goods. Those in wear must soon be replaced. TMs ne cessity is aggravated by an extensive substitu tion of light fabrics for the heavier cloths in common use prior to 1861. Many more yards are now made from the same weight of cotton, and their cheapness has given them preference in market; but the necessity for new cloth comes all the sooner. The inference from all this is, that there must soon come a large and necessitous demand for the production of all onr cotton mills. There is a limit to the “waiting for lower prices.” These may come, but whether at higher or lower prioes, the want, now real, though unseen, will become urgent and visible, and when once re cognized by the trade, there will be no idle looms. Our manufacturers have now the dull ness of the summer before them. It may be expedient now, ns in 186S and 18G9, to shorten the production in all mills where fabrics do not sell close np. It would tend to hasten the turn in their favor, as the same policy produced it in 1868, when the few weeks of short work were followed by a very profitable autumn and win ter. A suggestion has been recently made that manufacturers should combine to bring about a common reduction. Such a thing is impractica ble, and would be wholly inexpedient if feasible. Even concerted action of tMs eharaoter is un- Every manufacturer should decide upon hi3 own case, according to its facts, of market and of profit or loss, present and prospective. It wonld seem now quite sure that there will or can be no further material decline in the gener al value of cotton goods, except such as may properly result from a decline in the price of cotton. We need make no prediction in regard to that, especially now when the whole cotton dealing world, awakening from its long-sustain ed blunder as to tho supply of tho current year, is carrying its opinion to the opposite extreme and looking for superabundance. We place before our readers the prominent facts of cotton supply and consumption, as they stand to-day, leaving each to make Ms own de ductions therefrom as to tho future course of prices: Since September T, the receipts of cotton at all our ports amount to... .hales.,. .2,770,000 Tho visiblo stocks at seven interior towns were last year 24,000 bales; are now 52,- 000 bales.

We have not changed our opinion, early expressed, that the India crop now coming in, is considerably larger than the preceding one. Its shipments from Bombay to Earope stands abont 190,000 bales behind that of last year. There are bnt two or three weeks more before the early monsoon, when its movement should n early cease until October according to the experience of previous years. The receipts jin Bombay- ure very heavy, and increasing weekly. It seems probable that in the last quarter of the y ear there will be suoh an ac cumulation of cotton tn Bombay and other Indian ports as has never beefa-known; but whether, and how njuoh : el it will, come to. market in Europe, must depend upon the price and other conditions of trade. Ot the sMpments prior to the monsoon, though likely to be 160,- 000 to 180,000 bales less than last year, so large a part cornea through the Snez Canal, that by the end of Jane or in July the supply of India cotton in Europe will not differ widely from that of last year. -In each year sines -1863 the consumption of American cotton in England has been largest in the months when the supply of Indian oot- [ton was lowest and of Amerioan largest.; the use of India ootton increasing with its free sup: ply. The relative proportions, up to May 27th and for Ihe whole year were as follows for three years (per week:) Taken for consumption Year’s oonsumptioo in from Liverpool to Hav 27. Great Britain.

So far "the proportions approxi mate those of 1868, and indicate a weekly aver age for the whole of 1870, about 23,000 bales Amerioan, and 17,500 bales of East India oot ton. This would call for an average rate from now to December 31, of 21,500 American bales per week, and oovers an average increase of consumption of all sorts equal to 3500 to 4000 bales per week for the whole year. Compared with I860, a total increase of about 200,000 bales. The continent has been slowly increas ing its consumption from year to year. Last year, worked to its full spinning capacity, it caln increase this year only by increase of its machinery or by heavier work. If the new spindles be reckoned at an increase of six per cent., which is hardly probable, they will re quire an increase of only 100,000 bales of oot ton. To sum up : The increase in American supply actual and offered to Europe from tMs crop is—export: This year bales 2,300,000 • Last year 1,656,000 644,000 Increase from other countries 36,000 Total increase 680,006 Per contra: Required for English deficiency to Dec. 21 150,000 Deficiency from India say 160,000 Deficienby from Brazil, 75,000 equal to American 40,000 Increase in English consump tion to Oct. 1 150,000 Increase in continental con sumption to Oct. 1 75,000 225,000 —575,000 Net increase of available supply of American cotton, after covering all deficiencies, and a fall rate of consumption 105,000 To be added to stocks in Europe, Oct. 1. This assumes what is not probable, that an export demand will take to Europe all of this crop that we have to spare; what does not go there will remain in our ports. We have allow ed for home consumptions thefull requirements of the capacity of our mills. Last September they began with stock in hand 50,000 bales lar ger than usual. To that extent, and more, they may reduce purchases this year, if so induced by 'the state of the market; in which case so much more may be exported, or left to swell the stockin ports. Jetsam et Flotsam. For the Telegraph and Messenger. | One of the St. Louis papers give3 an ao- count of a man whom the physicians declare to be dead, but whose body shows no sign of decomposition. The journal with the most re freshing naivete, declares that the family are determined not to inter him until he gives symptoms either of life or death. So, if the poor fellow does not wish to be buried alive, he’d better “play possum” as long as he can. During the late war between the North and South, the enrolling officer in a certain county ih Middle Georgia gave a youth a delicate hint that his presence was desired at thefront: whereupon the young man posted to town, and engaged the services of a lawyer to get him Out of the scrape. Said he; “I don’t mind goin’ to war, but I can’t git to Yirginny, with out traveling on a railroad, and I never is yet been rid on de cars,” Says the People’s Literary Companion: “It is perfectly proper for a gentleman to raise his hat in passing a lady. Such little courtesies are always appreciated by the fair sex.” Per haps so; but in ninety-nine cases out of a hun dred. the aforesaid fair sex fail to manifest any feeling of appreciation. Generally they let “concealment, like a worm i’ the bud, feed on their damask cheek,” so far as anything like gratitude, or reciprocal politeness is con cerned. In this latitude they always expect this raising of the hat, and consider themselves ill-used uuless they receive the attention, but most of them repay it with an insolent, ill-. bred stare. I know about three ladies who have suffi cient knowledge to know what is due to gen tlemen, as well as themselves, to return the bow of their ordinary acquaintances, but the most of them are as ignorant en this point; as the veriest savage who wears a ring in her nosa a3 well as her ears. Meu may give them the best seats at concerts,bn railroads, etc., Whioh they will appropriate with the most perfect coolness, impudence, stolidity, or what ever you choose to tenn it, and never so much as bestow a glance, still less a bow for the courtesies thu3 thrown away upon them, even as the pearls were cast before the swine. It may be asked. “Dp you expect a lady to ac knowledge obligation to a perfect stranger 7'lo and I answer, “Certainly, if she accept his services, or anything at all at his hands. It would be best to avoid anything of the sort, if possible, but if this cannot be done, in the name of good-breeding let her have politeness enough, in some slight manner to acknowledge the courtesy that she accepts, taking care, of. course, that no acquaintance shall be formed, from this circumstance alone.’ The worst of it is, thst they very often allow this very methodiof commencing an acquaintance, with au impudent, brazen-faced knave, when they will not bestow the slightest thanks on him, who shows by his manner that he is modest and reserved. It is time for Southern women to under stand that there is room for them to improve in this matter.
