Physical Training of Olrls.
This is the most momenfcons health-prob
lem with which we have to deal, to secure
the physical advantages of civilization for
American women. Without this there can
be no lasting progress. The Sandwich Is
land proverb says:
“ If strong be the frame of the mother,
Her sons shall make laws for the people.”
Hut iu this country, it is scarcely and ex
aggeiation to say that every man grows to
maturity surrounded by a circle of invalid
female relatives; that he, later, tincls himself
the husband of an invalid wife and the pa
rent of invalid daughters; and that he
comes at last to regard iuvalidism, as Miche
let declares, the normal condition of that
sex—as if the Almighty did not know how
to erea r e a women. This, of course, spreads
a gloom of life. When l look at the morn
ing throug of school girls iu summer, hur
rying through every street, with fresh, young
faces, and vesture of lilies, duly curled, and
straw-hatted and booted, and turned off as
patterns of perfection by proud mamas—is
it not sad to me to think that all this young
beauty must one day fade and die ? for there
are spheres of life beyond this earth, I know,
and the soul is good to endure through more
than one; the sadness is in the unuatural
nearness of decay, to foresee the living death
of disease that is waiting close at hand for
so many, to know how terrible a proportion
of these fair children are walking uncon
sciously into a weary, wretched, powerless,
joyless, useless matury. Among the myriad
triumphs of advancing civilization, there
seems but ou formidable danger, and that is
here.
It cannot be doubted, however, that the
peril will pass “by with advancing knowledge.
In proportion to our national of
danger is the promptness with which reme
dial measures are adopted, when they at last
become indispensable. In the meantime,
we must look for proofs of the physical re
sources of women into foreign and even into
savage lands. When an American mother
tells me with pride, as occasionally happens,
that her daughter can walk two miles and
back without great fatigue, the very boast
seems a tragedy; but when oue reads that
Oberea, Queen of the Sandwich Islands,
lifted ('apt. Wallis over a marsh as easily as
if he had been a little child, there is a slight
sense of consolation. Brunhilde, in the
“ Nibelungeo,” binds her offending lover
with her girdle and slings him up to the
wall. Oymburga, wife of Duke Ernest, of
Lithuania, could crack nuts between her fin
gen, and drive nails into a wall with her
thumb; whether she ever got her husband
under it is not recorded. Let me preserve
from oblivion the renown of my Lady But
terfield, who, about the year 1700, at \\ an
stead, in Essex, (England,) thus advertised:
“This is to give notice to my honored mas
ters, and ladies, and loving friends, that my
Lady Butterfield gives a challenge to ride a
horse, or leap a horse, or run a foot, or hollo ,
with any woman in England seven years
younger, but not a day older, because I wont
undervalue myself, being now 74 years of
> age.” Nor should be left unrecorded the
high-boru Scottish damsel whose tradition
still remains at the Castle of Huntingtower,
in Scotland, where two adjacent pinnacles
still mark the Maiden’s Leap. She sprang
from battlement to battlement, a distance of
nine feet and four inches, and eloped with
her lover. Were a young lady to go through
one of our villages in a series of leaps like
that, and were she to require her lover to
follow in her footsteps, it is to be feared that
she would die single.— Atlantic Monthly.
LifpS YlaxiuiN.
Near by a little cottage on the banks of
the Hudson, among the dozen dead from the
burning of the steamer “ Henry Clay,” there
was one form which attracted attention above
all others ; it was that of a tall old man, who
had already lived beyond his three score and
ten ; there was in his features a dignity in
death, which showed, without information,
that he had been a man of mark in his day.
On opening his pocket-book there was writ
ten the honored name of Stephen Allen,
aud among the papers there was found a
printed scrap, dingy aud soiled, almost worn
out with the frequent foldings and unfold
ings, showing very clearly that it had been
perused often and long for counsel and
guidance ; its precepts embody the secret of
a healthful useful and honorable old age. —
We lived near by at the time, aud the whole
scene lias left a long impression. The paper
was entitled :
THE MAXIMS OF LIFE; OH, HOW TO BE HAPPY.

A few Sundays ago, at one of our churches,
the choir sang a hymn to a tune which comes
in as follows:
My poor pol —my poor pol—my poor pol
luted heart.”
Another liue received the following ren
deiing r
“ And in the pi—and in the pi—and in the
pious he delights.”
And still another was sung :
’* Aud take thy pil —aud take thy pil—grim
II home.’*
The Charm of Life.
There are a thousand things in this world
to afflict and sadden, but oh ! how nan\
that are beautiful and good. The world
teems with beauty,—with objects that sad
Jen the eye and warm the heart. We might
be happy if we would. There are ills that
we cannot escape,—the approach of disease
and death ; of misfortunes; the sundering
of the early ties, and the canker-worm ot
grief,—but the vast majority of evils that
beset us might be avoided. The curse of
intemperance, interwoven as it is with all the
ligaments of society, is one which never
strikes but to destroy. There is not one
bright page upon the record of its progress,
—nothing to shield it front the hearties ex
ecration of the human raee. It should not
exist, —it must not. l)o away with all this,
—let wars come to an end and let friendship,
charity, love, purity and kindness mark the
intercourse between man and man. We are
too selfish, as it the world was made for us
alone. How much happier would we bo,
were we to labor more earnestly to promote
each other’s good. God has blessed us with
a home that is not dark. There is sunshine
everywhere,—in the sky, upon the earth, —
there would be in most hearts if we would
look around us. The storm dies away, and
a bright sun shines out. Summer drops her
tinted curtains upon the earth, which is very
beautiful, when autumn breaths her changing
breath upon it. God reigns in Heaven
Murmur not at a being so good, and we can
live happier than we do.
Over Jf>re*iiig.
The over dressing of American ladies in
the streets, at hotels, and in the churches is a
subject of general remark among travelers
from abroad, as well as sensible people at
home; though to little purpose. It would seem,
as at no period has the love of display been
more conspieious in our country. American
women are slaves to dress; it is the bame of
their life, aye, aud of the male victims, too,
w’hose lives arc connected with theirs. Trav
elling trunks, almost as large as a small
house, must be carried about, filled with all
sorts of finery, for a summer jaunt to water- j
ing-places, aud for a winter visit to a city.—!
The father or husband vainly remonstrates ; !
flounced dresses and crinoline must have am- 1
pie space, and there must be a variety, too,
in the customs. “Heaven save the ladies, j
how they dress 1” may we well exclaim.—
\\ hy will they not become more practical ?
Does the most fastidious critic of female
beauty admire a young lady in fus toilette
more th an in simple dress? If beautiful,!
there is no need of ornament ; if plain she
should appear without pretention. We have
known ladies who have traveled through
the continent of Europe with only a small
trunk to contain their wardrobe, and they
found a wonderful relief in uot having “ too
much to wear.’’
Jam* Jerutha.
It is many years since I fell in love with
Jane Jerusha Sheggs, the handsomest coun
try girl, by far, that ever went on legs. By
meadow creek, and wood and dell as wo did
walk, aud the moonlight smiles on her mee
ting lips, aud the night wiud learned our
talk. Jane Jerusha was all to me for my
Heart was youug and true, and loved with a
double and twisted love, and that love was
honest too. 1 roamed all over the neighbor,s
farms, 1 robbed the wild wood bowers, and
tore my trowsers and stretched my hands,
in search of choicest flowers. In my joyous
love I brought all these to my Jerusha Jane ;
but I wouldn't be so foolish now if I were a
boy again. A city chap th. n came all dress
up in store clothes, with a shiny hat and
shiny vest, and a moustache under his nose!
He talked of singing schools, (for her father
had a farm) and site left me the country i
love, and took the new chap’s arm: all night
l never slept, nor could I eat the next day,!
for I loved that girl with a frevent love, i
that naught could drive away. I strove to j
win her baek to me, but it was all in vain—
the city chap, with the hary lip, married
Jerusha Jane. And my poor heart was sad
and sore, until the thought struck me that
just as good fish remained as ever was in the
sea. So I went ao the Methodist church
one night and saw a dark brown curl peep
ing from under a gipsy hat and I married
that verry girl ! And many years have pass
ed and gone, and I think my loss my gaiue,
and I often bless that hairy chap that stole
my Jerusha Jane.
Art*iiiiiM Ward oh Sei'ewion.
Arteraus, the great showman, gives a rich
speech on secession, in a late number of
Vanity Fair. We quote the conclusion :
“Feller sittisens ! lam in the Sheer &
Yeller lees. 1 shall peg out one of these
dase. But while Ido stop here I shall stay
in the Union. I know not what the Super
visee of Baldinville may conclude to do, but
for 1, I shall stand by the Stars & Stripes.
Under no sirkumstances whatsomever will I
sesesh. Let every Stait in the union sesesh
& let Palmetter flags float thicker nor shirts
on Squire Baker’s close ljne, & still tliar I’ll
stand, & stick onto the good flag of the Stars
& Stripes. The country may go to the dev
il, but I wont. And next Summer when 1
start out on my catnpaue with my show,
wherever I pitch my little tent you shall see
a floating proudly from the center pole there
of the American flag, with nary a star wiped
out, nary a stripe lesser, but the same old
flag that has always floated thar! & the price
of *admission the same it always was—ls

half price.’’
A llicrPE for Contentment.—Try to
compute your artificial wants—the number
of things which you fancy come under the
list of “must haves’’ merely because you
would not be (juite as well off and as happy
in their absence. Try it for one week, when
ever your fingers are temted to dally with
your pure strings. Record in your memo
randum book what, in view of this, you sen
sibly resolve not to buy, and see what a nice
little sum will be left you for necessaries.—
It is seldom by these last that one is hamp
ered and annoyed. Make the experiment,
and see if it is not so. A just economy is
not niggardleness ; one need not be a miser
in avoiding the extravagance of a spendthrift.

From ih Thomasv ille Enterprise.
Below we publish a short snakt story by
our old friend and fellow citizen, Judge
Sharpe. What he tells us is true, wheth
er it be of tnukn or anything else. We have
witnessed, on several occasions, the deadly
°f Ike King f’nake with some of
his toes, but we hat e never seen him en
counter the Rattle Snake, although we have
frequently heard it from the most reliable au
thority. Ihe sagacity, consummate skill
and courtage of the King Snake in these
terrible encounters cannot be surpassed by
anj earthly creature. A King Snake, two
feet in length, will unhesitatingly attack the
most feroctousand gigantic of its enemies.
A Snake Story. —On Saturday after
noon, the 28th inst,, my attention was call
ed by a negro boy to a snake that be had
suddenly come upon. The boy was arlarm
ed and 1 went out of my way a few yards to
see what he had found in the shape of a
snake. At first sight of the story of two
snakes swallowing each other, but on close
inspection I found that one was killing the
other. They were wound up so closely to
gether that 1 <an not better describe them
than by saying they were a complete ball
of snakes. The King Snake had so wound
himself around the Rattle Snake that I eould
hardly determine whether it was a Rattle
Snake until 1 saw his head. The King had
his Rattleship by the jaw, and I had stood
over them some few minutes before l could
discover any motion other than the tighten
ing of the King, and when he let go his hold
on the of the other he did it very cautiously,
looking up at me and then resuming his hold
on the jaw of the other. I called my family
and they had gathered to the scene before
the King released his coil, which he did very
slowly, observing the head of the Rattle
Snake as he slowly unloosed bis mysterious
windings. He then took the Rattle Snake
by the jaw and moved off, and in order to
allow him the liberty of appropriating his
well earned prey to his own purpose in his
own way, I ordered a retreat from the scene.
The Rattle Snake was about 32 inches lon
ger.
I write this in order to save the lives of
the King Snake for surely as they do destroy
so deadly an enemy of our race as the Rat
tle Snake they should be spared: The King
Snake is black with white rings round the
body at regular distances, say about three
inches apart. If I were to find one about
my hen roost I should kill him, as they are
destructive to chickens aud eggs, bat other
wise I shall hereafter let them pass and hid
them good speed in destroying the much
dreaded ltattle Snake.
I have been somewhat of a Nimrod in my
Jay and Lave LearJ mauy snake stories, Lut
tills is the first and only cue that I ever saw
of any kind of a snake destroying the Rattle
Snake, but this I do know to be a fact, as it
occurred within a few hundred yards of my
bouse and under my own observation.

I*rivte Prayer.
There is a need of public prayer. We
should meet with the congregation and offer
our United requests to God.
There is need for social prayer. It is diiti
cult to see how one who neglects the prayer
meeting can make progress in religion. The
prayer-meeting enables one to carry thespir
it of the Sabbath through the week.
Besides these, there is need of private
prayer. There are confessions that must be
whispered in the ear of God. The man who
can stand up before his fellow-man aud say,in
regard to the requisitions of the law of jus
tice and honor, “ All these have I kept,”
has confessions which can be made only
when he has entered into his closet and shut
the door. There are requests that can made
only at a private interview. Hence the ne
cessity for private prayer.
Every Christian kuowns that he has avoid
ed sin in proportion as he has practiced se
cret prayer. Every one knowns that when
: he has neglected private prayer, his life has
| been a form. There is no such thing as
leading a Christian life, as walking with God,
without regular habits of private prayer.—

Women Born to no the Loving. —That
Nature has ordained love as woman’s task,
more than man’s, is thus declared by a late
moralist:—“With man, love is never a pas
sion of such intensity as with woman. She
is a creature of sensibility, existing only in
the outpourings aud sympathies of her emo
tions. Every earthly blessing, nay, every
heavenly hope, will be sacrificed for her af
fections. She will leave the sunny home of
her childhood, the protecting roof of her
kindred—forget the counsils of her sire, the
admonishing voice of that mother on whose
bosom her head had been pillowed—do all
that a woman can do consistently with hon
or—forsake all that she has clung to in
her girlish simplicity for years, and throw
herself into the arms of the man she idolizes.
He that would forsake a woman after these
testimonies of affection, is too gross a villain
to be called a man.”

Children are undoubtedly very troublesome
at times in asking questions, and should,
without doubt, be taught not to interrupt
conversation in company. But, this resolu
tion made, we question the policy of withold
ing an answer at any time from the active
mind which must find so many unexplained
daily aud hourly mysteries. They who
have either learned to solve these mysteries,
or have become indifferent as to an explana
tion, are not apt to look compassionately
enough upon this eager restlessness on the
part of children to penetrate causes and trace
effects. By giving due attention to those
“ troublesome questions,” a child’s trveai
education may be carried on. Have a little
patience, then, and sometimes think how
welcome to you would be a translator, if you
were suddenly dropped into some foreign
country where the language was for the most
part unintelligible to you, and you were burst
ing with curiosity about every strange object
that met your eye.
Latent Beauties. —Nature is beautiful,
even in her sternest mood, and not only has

he Urea, Eastern in a Storm.
Jri^tu 0 ", t,oard during the lastvoy
,ll he North Atl.ntw. The wind blow
nearly a hurricane fir quite eight hours
Caught by the tremendous stress from the
east and south, the ship took to the trough
of the sea. The crash of crockery and all
moveable things starled the timid. Tn the
tremendious roll of the ship (she never pitch
ed) the inconvenience of her ponderous rig
ging became evident. Two grafts broke
troin their stays and swung fearfully free,
endangering the funnels; and when, after
long and hard exertion, they were secured, a
boatswain’s mate bore testimony by a broken
leg to the severity of the struggle.
All through the hurricane, while the wa
ters were hissing up her sides, half over
turning her lioats on their davits, and dash
mg spray far up into the yards, the levia
than was moving steadily at the rate of ten
knots an hour. Twice or thrice the vessel
was put off her course by a couple of points,
to make fast the upper works. Then the
real greatness of the Great Eastern appear
ed. With her head on the wind, she stood
perfectly firm aud composed. Her motion
was again easy. There was no strain The
labor was with the sea, and it was in vnin-
And there was no fault to find with the move
ments of her engines. That was perfect.
The distance performed in this day of “weath
er,” not including the miles traveled out of
cou’-sc, was 215 knots.
To this rough and yet satisfactory expe
rience succeeded fine steaming with abated
wind. A child in the air bespoke the near
neighborhood of ice ; then, on the Banks, a
fog came up, through which the vessel mov
ed as full speed, sounding her shrill whistle,
and closing the day so spent with the best
record of all the voyage—3so knots. On
Thursday last soundings were taken and a
fog fought; on Friday the weather was a
beautiful welcome home, and the ship was
steered for sandy Hook, although the pilot
was directed to meet her off Montauk Point.
This morning found the leviathan roaming
alone shore. The pilot boats were all cha
sing her far out at sea, and she actually reach
ed Sandy Hook Jaefwre she caught one of
them. Her anchor was dropped about two
miles outside the bar. The actual time of
the voyage was nine days, thirteen hours
and twenty minutes, and the last day’ run
was 344 knots.
The Snpitl y of Salt.
Not Laving seen auy reference among our
exchanges, tu the importance of securing for
future use, a supply of this invaluable arti
cle of consumption, we deem it proper to call
attention to the subject.
So far as we know, there is not a salt manu
factory in the Confederate States ; we are
not apprised as to the quantity we may have
on hand, but I presume it is not very large :
and even if it were, it must become exhaus
ted, unless it be replenished. It becomes,
then, a matter of considerable interest, to as
certain in what direction we may look for
supplies of this article.
Should the Lincoln Government succeed
in carrying out its purposes, with reference
to the blockade of our ports, we cannot be
furnished from foreign sources, as heretofore,
since salt, being an article of consumption,
under this ruling of that government, is
“contraband of war,” and will, hence, be
“ruled out.”
What then must we do? We must have
the salt—our necessities will demand it.—
Others will be prevented from furnishing us.
How shall we get it ? Why of course, make
it. We have about as much salt water as
anybody else, and doubtless as favorable sit
uations for making salt. The North have
said that we could not live without them.
In everything else, thus far, since our sep
aration, we have beeu, and are now proving
them liais. Let us not permit an exception
to arise ou this point. Let some of our en
terprising and wealthy citizens go, at once,
in to the extensive manufacture of salt, thus
demonstrating that our resources and ingen
uity are commensurate with this, as with all
other emergencies.
We have herefore permmitted others to
supply us with mauy'arricles of primary want,
let us prove that it has been a gratituity, and
uot a necessity.— Sumter Repvh.
Evacuation of Fort Washita.
Some days ago it was rumored here that
a large force of Texans were inarching to
wards Fort Washita, with the intention of
capturiug it, and taking prisoners the United
States troops stationed there. This story
was believed from the simple fact that there
was no denial of it in the despatches from
that (juarter, and that for some days nothing
had been heard from Van Dorn and the men
under his command. Like Marion’* men,
the Texans arc hard to locate; you hear of
them in one place and in a short time in an
other, after having performed some brilliant
and successful feat. Those men will be,
like those under the “Swamp Fox,” and the
brave Morgan in the days of the Revolution,
a terror to our present enemies. It seems
highly probable, however, that they will
have nothing to do in the present but to take
peaceable possession of the fort, if indeed it
be true, they have started on the expedition
as reported. A few days ago some Indians
came from Fort Washita and told Col. Hind
man that the place had been evacuated, and
that the Federal troops were marching north
ward. It was supposed they were destined
for St. or City, Kansas.
Whether the above be true or not, we shall
soon learn, but it comes to us from a reliable
source.— Mont. Advertiser.
A NeKi’o Hunt:.
A negro man, belonging to Mrs. Ligon, who
resedes in the 17th District of this county,
was hung at Kingston on last Thursday, for
planning and endeavoring to incite an insur
rection. He was tried by a committee of
twelve citizens, and the evidence was consid
ered sufficiently rood naive as to his guilt to
warrent his conviction and execution. Ac
cording to his own statements, it was one
of the most diabalieal schemes over devised
by any fiend to murder the citizens of this
county, and take possession of their proper
ty. A white man by the name of Under
wood w-as implicated in the plot. He is now
in jail, committed on a charge of treason. —
Several other n< groes were implicated, but
we have not learned the percise nature of
the evidence adduced against them. When
such conspiracies as these are detected, our
citizens cannot be too vigilant in watching
the actions of the negroes and mean whitft
men.— Casuvville Standard*
