' Nothing so tends towards th degener- ary of womanhood as a life of lain and Indulp-nce o aim for a wealthy huslwnd, and then life with no object nor aim beyond raising a family, whether teste lie in that direction or not. It ia not only bad for physical health, but is for moral also. A vary acrious and com mon mistake in the training of our girls the neglect definitely to provide apainst the vicissitude of life with the faculty ot noble self-support. Just to think of your daughter, well born and bred and rocked in the Up of luxury, coming ore of these days to sewing or keeping board ers for a livelihood. Yet thousands of girls, upon whose girlhood Fortune lav lavished - ished lavished her gifts, have come that It seems to us that every rich man w ho has daugh daughter - ter daughter should provide for them with viaion of the almshouse continually flling be before - fore before bis eyes. No amount of pecuniary endowment will be a sure defence agninxt the demons of pauperism. The fire may burn it up, the wind may scatter it, the wave may engulf it, prodignl scoundrels of hushand may waste it, rascally trus tees and executor may pillage it These and a thousand contingencies, considered beside the proverbial helplessness of wo woman, - man, woman, are almost enough to make a thoughtful and cautious man pray that daughter may not be born unto him. ro, then, we say, let the education of our girls provide fir the possible problem of self-help in the noblest possible way. The daughters of millionaires and me- hanirs alike should lie made distinctijT te understand that all the love romances lie, aud that there ie no such thing as making a compact with fbrtuue to avert the necessity of honest toU. Kay, more, we would have the girls taught that labor, especially brain lalior, for the benefit of the world, is too noble to be undertaken for mere mercenary ends, allwit the world muiT and a ill pay for it. Our girls need a great deal of discipline in this respect. and their fathers and mother need to have a great many of their foolUh no notion - tion notion of propriety alaiut toil, aud the sicked caste idea it encourages, killed a the rank social weed it is. You will hardly find a girl who will teach school, or a parent who will allow it, except un under - der under compulsion of a scanty purse. What a shame to our Christianity is this! A fine lady, rustling in her silks, boasts that she ha had all the masters iu literature aud art, has seen all the gsllcrie of art, miks th lauuagea, can draw from na nature, - ture, nature, and we know not what else; and yet she would not coil her respectability by teaching a child of ignorauoe the al phabet, or hammering the multiplication table into a class of little know nothings in calico I Sure euough, the millrnium has not com yt "Morton Phi That In."

In no in stance, however, have any of them been called to meet the most terrible of all deaths that by fire; burned alive! It carries with it a terror that chills the blind and causes the frame to shudder. Last Wednesday night, at 10 o'clock, six mile north-east of Oregoo, in Holt county, Mia Liuie Cowen, one of the fairest and most accomplished young ladies of tlwt county, was actually masted alive, She, with a number of other young ladies, had awembled at Carwen's school-houne fisj the nurnos of rehears. . in some Sutidav school annm for U.
