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. Keep good company or none. Never he idle. If your hands cannot be usefully employed, attend to the culture of your mind. Live up to your engagements. Keep your own seerts, if you have any. When you speak to a person, look him in the face. Good character is above all things else. I Your character cannot he essentially in jured except by your own acts. If any one speaks evil of you, let your life be such that none will believe him. Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors. Ever life (misfortumes excepted) within your income. When you retire to bed, think over what you have hen doing during the day. Make no haste to be rich, if you would prosper. Small and steady gains give competency, with tranquility of mind. Never play at any game of chance. Avoid temptation, through fear you may not withstand it. Earn money before you spend it. Never run into debt, unless you see a way to get out again. Never borrow if you can possibly avoid it. Never speak evil of any one. Be just before you are generous. Keep yourself innocent, if you would he happy. Save when you are }’oung, to spend when you are old. 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 sents, one-eyed men & wiuimin & children 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. Wocld’nt Go.— The Newburyport Her ald has a correspondent accompanying the eighth Massashusetts regiment. Speaking of his passage through Maryland, he says : “One gentleman offered to give me a nig gar, It I could induce any one of the thirty be had. to leave him and go North, affor ding me full liberty to hold out any induce ments I deemed expedient. I tried the ex -1 peri men t, pictured out the blessings of free dom so far as I was able, but it was no go,j aud I lost the darkey.” * 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. H. W. SIIAKPE. Woodbine, April 29, 1861. 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.— S. S. Times. 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.” with Little One*. 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 her solace for vicissitude, but actually reser ves some of her bounties as the necessary accompaniments of pain. Some beauties are only disclosed by destruction. It 13 death exhibits the dying dolphin’s riches in the way of color.

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*
