THE PROPOSITION.
BY MARY WALStifGlIAV.
lie asked me if I d Lave him,
And l plum ply told him no!
He wanted whys and wherefores,
But 1 wouldn’t please him so.
A woman needn’t—need she?—
Distress herself for life
Because*sorae anxious fellow
Should chance to want a wife ?
He said I was too flippant
For a woman of my kind :
That he wasn't foud of magpies.
And he likedjin austere mind.
I said ho needn't tell it,
For 1 heeded not—not T*'—
What sort an auster< mind was,
But 1 loved an oyster pie !
He laughed—then frowned upon me,
And said I was too curt—
That wit was more than smartness— «
1 was just a mite too pert!
I said iLwaa his dullness—
That my wit he could not see ;
But’I bet I’d make him smart, if
He should ever marry me!
lie said I’d better take him.
Or I’d miss some other t- an,
And then I’d like to get him,
“Then catch me if you can !”
1 said he needn’t fear it;
There was many a better match
To light a bridal candle
When 1 had one to “catch.”
Ho said I’d better marry—
Life was not always May;
And I wasn’t growing younger
And prettier every day ;
But woman ought not—ought she?—
To wed a lie for life,
Because “the right one’s” missing.
Or she cannot be his wife?

Muscular Development of Women.
The ladies of Warwick, England,
have organized a Boating Club, and
propose hereafter to compete with the
sterner sex up the picturesque and
classic Avon. There Is uo reason why
the English women, who arc fond of
the chase, and delight in fishing and
pedestrian tours, and other outdoor
exercise, should not aspire to a skillful
use of the oar. Wc shall uot bo sur
prised, therefore, to sec them generally
taking like ducks to the water, and, in
ti me. ehal lenging the world for a wherry
rare or a regatta contest.
It is a matter of congratulation that
the out door sports which impart ro
bust constitutions and ruddy counte
nances to th'e gentler sex of England,
are becoming yearly more popular
among our American women. The ef
feminate customs of other years are
giving way to a fondness for horseman
ship, skating, croquet, etc., and. as a re
sult, we witnessa decided improvement
in the constitutions of our women.—
They are. becoming more and more
convinced that physical delicacy, ener
vation, cfl'ctninaucy, and hot-house
drawing room confinement do not im
part genuine beauty and attraction to
them. They are learning that a pretty
face is, iu a man's estimation, no com
pensation for a frail constitution and
numberless doctor’s bills.
We have strong, active men, and we
want strong, active women, wiio are
not always complaining of excessive
fatigue, and lack of vitality; womeu
who do not keep a running account
with physicians, and have (o be
“patched np” and dosed year in and
year out: women who are not afraid to
shoulder responsibility, and bear their
share of life’s burdens; women, in short,
who are fitted by physical ns well ns
mental training and development to
become what their Maker intended
them to he—helpmates for man. And
to this end it is to be hoped that the
spirit of reform will continue to grow
and prevail among them. Those who
exercise an inllui .ice in molding and
shaping the < u ms of society should
foster and develop this spirit. The
managers of female educational insti
tutes should imitate the example now
being set by the New England colleges,
and provide liberal means for physical
training and development. Treachers
and teachers have it in their power to
achieve a vast amount of good to hu
manity in this respect. .Said an emi
nent Methodist divine of this city not
long since: “If I could have mv way, I
would have a ten pin alley attached to
every elnireli in ilie couutry, where
hoys anil girls might develop them
selves physically during week days,
and thus become the better prepared to
receive spiritual training on tbe ,Sab
bath.”
This suggestion will strike most peo
ple as being decidedly novel, to say tbe
least. It however reveals an apprecia
tion of the importance of devoting
more attention to physical culture and
development, which we should be glad
to timl prevailing generally among
educators and mohlcrs of public opin
ion.—[N. V. Commercial Adv.

Bed" A Herman recently invented a
very cheap and easily made barometer.
Take a common glass wide mouthed
pickle-bottle, and till it to within three
inches of the mouth with water. Then
take a common sweet oil flask, cleanse
it thoroughly, and pluugc the neck
into the pickle bottle as far us it will
go. This completes the barometer,
and in fine weather the water will rise
in the neck of the flask, descending
again in wet windy weather. 11cfore
a heavy gale of wind the water lias
been known to leave the flask altogcth-1
er, at least eight hours before the gale
was at its height.
•©“An amusing circumstance oc
curred iua singing class. A Mr. Paine
was the teacher, and a Miss Patience
one of the pupils. In the course of the
evening the teacher gnve out the tunc
set to the words :
"Cooie, goalie purunce, smile on pain.”
The pupils w ere so excited by laugh
ter that it was found impossible to sing
the line. Moou the teacher gave out
another, in which were the following
lines;
"Oli give mo tears for other's woes,
Amt juitienrt for my owu."
The risibilities of the school were so
affected that all singing was deferred
until another occasion.”
Registration in the South.
W'c notice that the Southern papers,
generally are advising the people to
register as a preparatory step toward
voting on ttic reconstruction scheme, t
This is unquestionably the true policy, j
Those who decline to register on the 1
ground that the negroes are permitted '
to do so, and stand back sullen and in- j
active, are untrue to their people and
their States. They can only defeat the |
infamous scheme of reconstruction bv j
voting it down at the polls. They can !
only vote when they have been regis
tered. After they arc registered, they
arc accorded the option of voting for j
or against a convention to form a
Stale Constitution. If they can muster I
strength to defeat a convention, the re- J
construction scheme falls right there,
and is dead. Surely this is much bet
ter than by not registering to be ex- j
eluded from the polls, and thus aid in I
carrying the convention. It must be
borne in mind that these conventions
are to make such constitutions ns suit
them, and it is impossible to tell what j
sort of constitutions they may make.
Their power over those who were in
Confederate cause will be unlimited.
Any disabilities which revenge and
malignity can invent may bo incorpo
rated into them.
But the answer and the only answer
to this argument is, that to defeat the
convention will be to perpetuate mili
tary rule. This is true, but is not the
rule of white men, soldiers though
they be, preferable to that of negroes
and tories, and is it not probable, that
if these two classes are permitted to
make the constitutions, that more
grinding disabilities will be imposed
than any they have to dread from mili
tary rule ? This is a matter of import
ance which should receive the serious
consideration of our Southern friends,
for it strikes us that it involves their
future condition to a vital extent, and
may bring upon them calamities not
now dreamed of. To be in a condition
to vote is not to surrender anything, j
and implies not the slightest assent to I
the reconstruction scheme, but to re
fuse to register is voluntary disfran
chisement, which cannot be justified
on any ground of social or of private
duty. Let every man, therefore, who
is permitted to register da it without I
delay, and be prepared to deal a death :
blow to the outrage sought to be per- j
nctr.iicd utioii him .‘mil his follow-citi- !
zeus whom lie can only in this way

Advice to an Editor.
Wo clip the following from a Sacra
mento paper. It was sent to a newly
fledged California editor, by ono of his
friends, who very evidently understood
the subject:
“I nm rather sorry to sco that you have
assumed the thankless task of an edi
tor. If you do your duty, you may expect
a floggiu once a month; If you don't,
you will deserve it. Somebody’s big
brother will call upon you severely for an
explanation of what you intimated about
his sister, and the county officials will com
bine and get you challenged for revealing
their rascality. If you fight, you will be
sure to be killed; if ^ou don’t they will
post you as a coward, and get some old
hog to horsewhip you ou the plaza. If
you say anything about polities, your
encmis will, of course call you a liar, and
your friends a fool. The fiist will con
demn your honesty, and the last your
indiscretion. An editor is a poor devil,
stuck up for all classes of the community
to hoot and toot at. If he gets mad and
foams, they vote his paper a sarcastic
piece of vituperative wreteheduess. If he
feels funny, und smiles, all refuse to sec
his wit except his wife, and all the prudes
will christen his sheet loose and lieeutious.
Honesty makes everybody else your
enemy, dishonesty begets reproach. One
leads inevitably to murder, and the other
to suicide. In ancient times. Juvouul
tells us, that when the gods entirely do
{ sorted a man, they made him a school
master. In ours, they turn him into an
editor. Of all classes in a community, he
: is the worst clothed, fed and lodged.
He is the poorest paid for his labor, waits
I longer for it and then never fails to get
small shiuplasters. You can tell him
a quarter of a mile up the street, by his
< rn 11 wliitiA iittii PiwMinm ■ lie
along like a romantic baboon before be is
trained to be come a biped ; begets round
shouldered before bis time, and cross
eyed, from the habit of guarding against
attack in ambuscade; bis clothing don't
fit him, because ho bought them of a
Jew round the corner, at seoond-hand;
be lives the life of a bog, and generally
dies a maniac. If you are fully prepared
for such a fate, go ahead; if not, sell out,
or swop out, but get out as soon as possi
ble.”
