Nearly half the population have emigrated and the other halfls preparing to do likewise. Every other private house is empty or for sale.

TROUT FISHING ACCORDING TO THE SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Post gives the following account of a day's trout lishing with "Euphemia

We now stumbled and scrambled bravely down the stream, trying our flies at every pool and ripple. The woods covered us with a roof of green, the brook rippled merrily beneath our teet, while the beautiful laurel, decked with clusters of splendid white blossoms, enclosed us on either side. It was a most charming experience. But we got no bites! "Euphy," said I, looking back, struck bv a sudden thought, "you must take off that red bow. It frightens the tish, and that must be the reason we had no bites." "Don't trouts like red?" said she, resting her rod in the most reckless manner against a bush, while she took off the too brilliant bow. "Anything bright frightens them, of course," I repliea "and I wish, Euphv, that you would not say 'trouts.' You don't say 'sheeps' do you?" "No," said she, jerking her line from the bush, "but they go in Hocks—collectively, you know—and the trouts don't at least not in this stream."

I went Ashing. Silence for five minutes: then, asjMKl passed a patch of wet sand, EttphrtnBr who was Drought up on the Long Island that we sould stop and

But this I Indignantly

Just here thought I had a bite. I was almost sure of it—when Euphemia from some little distance, called oat, "Here! Quick! Whew-ewy?" "Play him," I cried, "Give him line," and I bounded over the rock to her assistance. "Wait, Euphy, let me pull him out." "I wish yon would," she said, I have run the old hook way into my finger."

There were tnanj' little interruptions like this, most of them occasioned by Euphemia's parasol but, after a while, I impressed upon her mind that trout would only bite amid the most profound silence, and that sho must put a restraint npon herself, and I do believe, after that, the dear creature made some pretty bad slips without uttering a word.

After a time I came to a pool, and was fishing very cautiously in it, whip-

King

tny fly about as artistically as the uslness would permit, when Euphemia crept up behind mo. "John," she whispered, "I've got one." "Where is it," said I, not daring to look around, for I expected a bite every moment. "Hooked on my line," said she, in a voice trembling with excitement, "won't vou take it off?" "In just one minute," I said, watching my fly. "It's just like a lobster, only smaller," she whispered.

I could not help looking round at

"Do you call that a trout?" I cried. "It is A crawfish*" "Brother," said Euphemia, "I thought there was nothing here but trouts

Fish in this pool, Euphy," I said, pitying the little confusion into which the crawfish had thrown her, "and I'll go farther down."

The place in which I now fished was capital There was a ripple and a deep hole, and, what is more, a trout! I saw him jnmp at a real fly just before I reached the spot. So with bright hopes I danced mv flv over the water in the deep hole. *1 cfanced it tor about fifteen minutes, and several times I thought I saw something rise up toward my hook. At last a fish seized it. 1 jerked him out of water, but he dropped off. But I wasn't a bit discouraged. If be was there I could catch him. Breathlessly awaiting another rise, I beard a wild* aeream from behind. I turned instantly, and there was Euphemia in her pool

I had her out in a moment. "I had a bHe." she said' when I had soothed her a little and seated her ou a rock, "and the stones were so slippery that I forgot, and went right in."

We now gave up fishing and harried up the stream into the sunlight. It was impossible for Euphemia to go back to the house in the plight she was. For about afoot and a half from the ground she was as wet, as she expressed it, "as a sop." So we went into a retired field, and she sat in the sun until she dried, turning herself about while I kept the sun off her lace with her parasol.

I don't think I will take Euphemia trout-fishing any more

OSTK of Sydney Smith's friends met him one day In the street with a complaint that a gentleman to whom he bad been trying to elaborate a pet theory about the North Pole, baa cat him short with the exclamation: **Oh, d—n the North Pole!" "That is nothing," said the reverend joker, "it is not many days since I heard him speak disrespectfully of the Equator."

A PkA YER FOR REST.

Upon the hill* the wind is sharp and cold, The sweet yottng grasses wit her on the wold, And we, oh Lord, have wandered from thy fold.

But evening brings us home.

Among the mists we stumble, and the rocks When the brown lichens whiten, and the fox Watches the straggler from the scattered flocks,

But evening bringstas home.

This Sharp thorns prick us, and our tender feet, Are cut and bleeding, and the lambs repeat This pltifhl complaint, Oh! rest is sweet

When evening brings us home.

The darkness gathers, through the gloom no star Rises to guldejM, we have wandered far, Without Th? amp we know not where we are,

At evening bring us home.

We havfc been wounded by the huntersdai iJ Our eves Aravery heavy, and our hearts Search for tRjt coming, when the light departs

At evening, bring us home.

The clouds are round us, and the snowdrifts thicken, Oh Thou dear Shepherd leave us not to sicken, In the waste night our tardy footsteps quicken, ,. At evening, bring us home. "f

Our Young Girls.

A LECTURE BY MRS. ELIZABETH

CAD YSTANTON.

Goethe, the great German says, "The destiny of a great nation is settled by the opinions of the young men under twenty-one years of age." I came here to tell you tha^ the destiny of a nation is settled by the health and brains of young women under eighteen years of age. [Applause.] ou*

YOUNG GIRLS.

What art they? the mnsic of our churches, the sunshine of our streets, the flowers of our social life. Boj's and girls are one at school, never dreaming that one was bofn to clutch the stars and the other to grovel in the dust. But watch the girls as they grow up. They become listless and dissatisfied thev have no aim in life. Their calling is simply to revolve around some man —to-day, a father or a brother to-mor-row, a husband or a son. Girls feei all this thongh they may never utter it. I was once walking in Central Park, New York, with my son, when we came upoii the frequent sign: "No dogs admitted here." "What a blessing it is to the dogs that they can't read," he remarked, "for it would hurt their feelings so if they could. Now they don'tKnow what restriction they ar0?piaced 'tuider.'" I. told unit-there was a grerft Similarity between the doors of Central Park anil the doors of use«Sre closed .The one to dogs' an'd the other to girls, and neither realized the deprivations they suffered by the restriction. A dog may lay drowsily on his rug, not dreaming that he cannot enter the Park, but if be try to enter, a sharp rap on the nose will remind him that he is out of his sphere. A girl may be satisfied with her present lot until necessity compels her to do for herself, and then she feels, from the sharp opposition she meets, that she is only a girl, and out of her sphere.

This- has lately been illustrated at Harvard. Two young girls, after years of effort, had perfectly prepared themselves to enter college and applied for admission, but old Harvard slams its doors in their faces simply because they are girls. Perhaps they fare sumptuously in palatial mansions but if they awaken to the inspiration that they must be active to be happy, they are doomed 0feel that they are only girls.

What a terrible moral effect must this have on the hundreds of boys in Harvard. From just such actions flow the terrible results of insults and contumelv which are daily heaped upon women. And when professors and clergymen uphold such restriction, I hold them responsible for the terrible overt acts everywhere showered upon women by the lower orders of men.

I had more trouble in my family to keep the boys and girls on an equal plain than by any other difficulty. Seeing that the world discriminates thus against girls, the boys infer that they art endowed with superior natural gifts. Even if a girl braces up her mind to resist, what can one brave girl do agaiist the whole world

FALSE TRAINING.

Custom has made the boy the lord and the girl the slave, the mere pendage to tie lord, the man, on which to hang hUtftle of name and fame. She is the mflther, daughter, or wife of Major so-artd-»o or Lord so-and-so. This should dot be. Women should have an individual aim and purpose through life. TfcP boy has a will of his own. He has «lf-dependence, and is growing strongeiTbraver and nobler as he moves tbroughlife.

Alas! for the girl. The world denies her a ffeld for ambition. It furnishes no career for woman, and she is tabooed If she *eps out ol the conventional beaten lain. Surelv the battle of life is hard enough for the boy, but it is ten fold harder for the girl.

For ttaniple, look at Vinnie Ream, reallv bright beautiful little eirl, with" ailove for her art. She has done well, aijtl displayed great artistic skill, considering the ad vantages at her hand. But seehow she has been hounded by the preii because she was engaged by Congre* to form a statue of Abraham Lincoln That is a good statue. I have seln It, and it is exactly like the

You all know that Abraham wna an awkward, ungainly it expected of an artist to resubject and present the like

origin Linool

model

ness ullike the original. The Capitol st Washington is filled with daubs of pmmirt'nt men, ail made by men artists, aid never one ol these many, all of whih is poorer than Vinnie Ream's statue of Lincoln, has ever been hnnnd 1 as she has been.

Tiler is no labor field for girls. They are dv ng for want of something to do/ lomrin fbr the want of pesee only found action. I know a beautiful girl vears of age, full of force and fir*, Ion** to take the stage for prunes ion. He*" perfection in private theatr 1* is marvellous. She lives in the id* tl. $be will give imitation to the lif and will read Shakespeare, apprecia tig all the shades of thought.

She thinks of the stage day and night. Her friends have power to say to her nay, and blast her life, but how can they fill the void in her heart. "The stage," say they "is not respectable as if a royal soul could not dignify any profession. [Applause.]

Can they surround her with luxuries all her life? No, the still and cunning of a girl's own hand are the only reliance she has in time of need. Give your daughters their own fortune by teaching them to support themselves.

THE COMING GIRL

will be healthy, wealthy, and wise. She will hold an eqnal place with her brother in the various professions. She will be an independent,self-supporting being, not as to-day, bound by conventionalism. When all this comes to

[ine

ass,

we shall not have such a miserable of old bachelors, who don't marry because thev can't support a wife. We shall teach" women to support themselves

HEALTHY GIRLS.

We must educate our young men to demand something more than the present average physiques. All our society is based on the' theory that woman was made to merely contribute to man's happiness. When there is a demand for self-reliant women, this idea will be overthrown, and the present supply of beauty and of vanity, which meets them at every corner, made up of chignons and whalebone and waterfalls, and snakes and spiders, will have lost its attractions. Woman now dies ten thousand deaths, when, it educated to be self-reliant, she would die but one.

Men are educated to really suppose woman is nature's work, as' she is. If she enters the field ot labor, they call her unsexed, and say their chivalry dies away. Man's chivalry and devotion are not manifest in proportion to woman's need of them. The rich heiress, who has all her wants supplied, calls out ten times as much chivalry »is the poor girl or tin penniless widow.

The coining girl will revolutionise the fashion. Our present fashions are sent us by Frencn courtezans, whose life work "it is to study how most effectively to ponder to the sensuality of man. So our girls go into a bull-room half naked, while their brothers go clothed to the very chin. This auction block display is demoralizing to the virtue of our nation. [Applause.]

In woman's degradation man has tasted shame and death, and in her elevation he shall gain moral power and strength to rise.

Your lit'e-vork, dear girls, is not to please any man. You may never be wives, or mothers, or housekeepers, but you will be women.

I want all girls to regard themselves not as adjectives bat nouns.. JJUeyjEBl be independent, responsiblewomers. It is a very pretty theory that every woman has a strong right arm until she lands safe on the other side. But the fact conflicts with the theory.

To educate all women for teacners or seamstresses, is to makea supply greater than the demand. They must have a wider field.

Horace Greeley says what we most want is not women voters but fifty thousand good cooks in our kitchens. Why has I10 not educated his two daughters to the profession? They could get $20 per month or #240 per year. Is there a harder or more wearing life than revolving around a hot stove 305 days in the year? Besides men have shown such an aptitude for the profession of cooking. They cun stann smoke and worrion can't. In all the best hotels men are cooks. They are doing the work so admirably that it is a pity to think of allowing the girls to supplant them. [Laughter.]

Girls in all your gettings get health. Sick men take sickly views of everything. Feebleness of body and mind accompany each other. Gentlemen, the millcnium is near at hand. Then the girls wiil have no more of headaches, sideaches and toothaches.

TIGHT LACING.

The small waist will bo done away with. The girl of 14 is a romping natural being, but as soon as her dressmaker gets hold ol her, she begins to form the waist.

free circulation of the blood, and free breathing. When we remember that deep breathing is necessary to deep thinking, wo know tho value of a natural waist. Where we moderns got, our ideas of form from is a wonder. The small waist is not like anything on the earth, or in tho air, or in the waters under the earth.

Artists turn aside from dnughtere of Hancock and Adams to models of the ancients. Girls say that their waists are natural. I don't believe it is in harmony with nature for the ribs lapped and the breathing restricted.

At West Point, recently, the cadets threw off their suspenders, and wore their clothes hanging to their waist. Soon an epidemic broke out. The physicians puzzled themselves tj discover the cause. It wus found to be the weight of the clothes on the bips They wero ordered to wear suspender* again, and the epidemic ceased. II such is the effect on IKJVK, what niuM be the effect on our daughters with so great a weight of clothes supported by their waists? Nothing can lie more depressing than the present -mode ot dr«*s.

When I interceded with he Regents of the University of Michigan for the admission of giris into the I'niversity, they asked mc, "Do yon think girls can'stand thorough'eollegialccourse of tireek r.:nl Litln?"

I said "I would like to see you take 1,300 young men and lace them op, and hang ten to twenty prvnds w»luht.of clothes on Ui :r waists, perch -m up on thr ii.eh heels, cover 'heir heads wi ii fit pie#, chignons. r.i!« and mice, and sti.

all nonsense about the natural disabili ties of women. They are ALL ARTIFICIAL,

I want to make women feel as guilty when they are sick as when guilty of the sin of perjury. You cannot make a wise, sounA woman out of a sickly frame.

I do not look to women to correct this, but to fathers, and brothers and husbands, and editors to write it up.

I wish yon, one and all. to study tb© laws of health and obey them. Another reason why girls should eul-* tivate good health is, that they n.ay be beautiful. In the New York Sun I saw an advertisement of "Hayden's Magnolia Balm," which, it is said,, would make a woman of thirty look as young as a girl of sixteen. What woman of thirty would look like a girl' of sixteen? Girls, waste no money in cosmetics. White lead enters.more or less in all of them, and many cases of nervous disorder are brought on by it*

HOW TO RE BKAtTTlFUL.

I will give you A recipe, dear girls, for nothing, that will preserve vour beauty of body and soul.

For hair, complexion ajad eye, thereis nothing like exercise*"toting good food, a bath in cold water every day— not three times a day, as a Cincinnati paper made me say that would wash out all your vitality. Eat no chalk, and stone, and India rubber, and gum, atul slate pencils. Do not chow and chew, as your brothers do.

Be kind, generous, noble and magnanimous, and yon will have a halo about your head which will cause you* to excel in personal beauty, which you will carry to your grave. Your mission is not merely to eat. to drink, to be merry, to bo married and to l0' mothers, but to mould yourselves intowomanhood. Ever stretch forward to more grand ideas.

In the second place, the coming, girl, is to be wealthy that is, a creutor.»Of wealth.

I urge upon parents to educate girls to proper life work. One-half tho ability of a girl is lost because she has no ambition for tho future. I want to raise the standard of old maids. I want to teach women that marriage, as a profession, is nine out of ten times a failure. I want to counteract, the feeling that labor is a degradation.

A mightv army of women is now suffering in Eastern cities from tho fact that the world considers it degrading for woman to labor. In New York alone over 50,000 women are thus situated. Fully three-fourths of the girls before me will be called at some period of their lives to support themselves. To-day the husband, and the fattier may be wealthy, and to-morrow & reverse comes, ana the wife and daughter isleft to begin the hard struggle of life.

For three years a bijl ii.aa been before' the Legislature Of New York to licenso prostitution. O, men! the best way tocheck this vice is to give women a place in the field of work, and to pay her wages for her work. Now there are thousands who don't know how to*' work, and yet must oat. IIow can. they support themselves? By making, shiits at twelve cents each

This condition Is one cause why the marriage institution is degraded today. How many girls have turned away from some noble minded mail who has loved them, and married some miserable, degraded and dissipated old fellow because he happened to bo a millionaire. You know well that men with brains don't stand that chance with women that men of wealth doDevelop woman properly, and she will choose better. When a woman marries a man for his mouey she not only sacrifices herself, bul uogrades him.

Tho fact is the establishment pays so well that our Democratic Congressman! cannot afford to give it up besides it is a source of popularity as well as profit. Where else could he meet so many of his wealthy constituents and political supportcis Irom all parts of the country? How else could ho entertain his friends? Wo are not surprised that even religious people bogin to look at the matter in th practical business light, and now are making an effort to buy out Mr. Morrissey's establishment, and turn the club-house into a reading-room. This fighting Mammon with Mammon, buying otl the devil when he Is too strong to b«t whipped, is a new mode of moral warfare certainly, and one which deserve* consideration. Can Satan bo bought out? Will he sell himself? If we

MR. Cheney's parish in Chicago in made up of the right sort ot people. They know what a principle «*, and evitfpntly mean to stand bv the man who ho* so bravely contended for ho rights of conscience as against the claims of ecclesiastical authority. When Bishop Whitehouse notified thoWardens that be would il '1 the usual Episcopal visitation, and r« 'he pastorate wan vacant would I-ring a duly qnalitied clergyman to prepare the candid tics for eonflrmntlon, they replied that Rev.
