As it has become rather chronic writing to the papers from this place attach major importance to our places of business, I thought I would send you a line or two varying from the usual practice. Wc are all rather egotistical, and quite fond of seeing our names in print and so in the past if Mr. Yount bought a load of wool, Mr. Snvder a load of wheat, or some embryo apostle caught a large fish, the Jockxai. must know of, it for the gratification of it~s many readers. In this letter we propose to gossip about men and wotnor, feeling confident that no imj'orl'ttff will be attached to an article emanating from this source. With a due sense of politeness to the fair sex (aiivl to Yountsvillc ladies especially, as being the fairest of the fair,) would speak of them charitably, not angrily, lor let them remember that charity is love, "and if in our heart a fault be cherished there 'tis loving them too well." And it is not to be wondered that they are held in so high esteem by "tilers, as well as myself, for are th-ey not noted for tt(l those traits of character, and gilts ot nature, whwh s« surely develop int« true and beautiful women.

True it is, (hat there are some oiore forlunate than others in the excess of admiration bestowed, but it is tcve experience of mankind that oftesitiines tic? .more vahctfe'le jewel is overlooked because of too neglect in tlie testing.

Hence wc w*uM say tn deserving vo»rng nieti, culuvjite the jtajTiuiintsince of our -. ladies and oar word for it you'll And thess all you desire.
