Livcs there a young'man, today, who has
. not in time past been asked by his compan-
ions, to Hike a drink? I think I can safely
answer there lives not one. Reader do I pre-
sume too much, when throughout our whole
American Union, there' is scarcely a village
or hamlet but where intoxicating liquors are
sold ? Methinks I hear you answer in the
negative. It was but yesterday, young man,
that you were invited by your gay compan-
ion to fake a glass of beer in yonder saloon,
I heard the invifirtiou extended and accepted.
Having accepted I now invite you to “Come
and take a drink" with me. But think you,
I will enter such a den as your last drink was
procured' in? No l I will repair to the moss
covered bucket, and there sip the God given
drink, the pure, sparkling water, in whose
depthl no cries of wronged and starving
children are heard, and upon whose glassy
surface 110 murderer on drunkard’s photo-~
graphs are visible. Ah! you say yori can
obtain the water when you please. But can-
not you obtain the her when you wish lt,also?
No, you remark, because it costs to much to
ffi'fl‘ beer. Ah, than young man, so much in
river for the sparkling water, it is free to all;
it's brewer is the Eternal God, and he brews
I it for all alike; it can be found in all his wide
domain giving health and beauty to all his
children. The beer you are obliged to pay
for, and, 011, young man, that is not all, you
are paying for—think of it-you are paying
to commit suicide. You aredcsfroying your-
self, and setting an example'fo'r others. You
remark that anything you love will not hurt
you. Ah, did not Gougb‘ and thousands of
others love it, and did not their love for'lt
nearly destroy their lives? Ask the poor
drunkard’s widow, did not her dear husband
love it, till death, too horrible to think of,
tore him from this earth and her heart away?
Ask those little ones. who, 10-day are starv-
ing forwbresd, their cause of hunger, and
their blush of shame‘wlll speak louder than

as I will ever while God gives me the use of
my pen and the power of speech. Shun the
intoxicating cap as you would the poison ser

lips there is a serpent deadlier than the acor-
pion. Though you do not feel its sting and
bite at first, yet ’fwill surely come; it lurks
in the cup, and it is charming you already,

W’llhe house of N r Edwin Ella of Anso-
nla, was recently saved *from destruction by
the sagacity of a dog. The canine barked
so furiously and acted so strangely, on the
night in question that Mr. Ella was induced
to follow him info the kitchen, where he
found a fire on the floor and the carpet in a
blaze. The flames were soon extinguished,
and the from saved from destruction.
to his mother, before putting an end to his r.
feel. ”
By‘ a fashionable lady, we mean a woman
who has been brought up, and lives in, the
habits, practices, and pundits of that portion
of society, whose aim and end is to please
and to be pleased; whose life is devoted to
frivollty and pleasure; and whose sole duty
seems to consist' in beautifying and adorning
the person.
The first element. of fashionable life is ab-
juring all labor, the abstinence from doing
anything for subsistence or use. A fashion-
ble lady would be ashamed to do anything
in her kitchen garden for the purpose of pro-
pucing food, as planting peas,sowing turnips,
hosing or weeding avegetablebed. She will
offend her flower beds or blossom trees and
:- , do as much work as if she was in her kitchen
games; but it is not accounted labor. There
is no necessity to do it. It' is optional-em!!!”
ionable. .
She would not for the world be known __lo
do anything in her kitchen, because that
would be accounted work—necessary labor;
but she would perform twice the quantity of
actual labor' in the arrang‘ment of her draw-
ing ream, or boudoir, because that' rs entire-
ly optional and conventional. To spend a
day in the useful offices of washing and' iron-
ing would be death to her reputation, but
to spend at least one third of every day in the
fatigues of the toilet would be a matter of
course and consequence.
To be seen fer a few hours' in the occupa-
lieu of shirt making or mending stockings,
would be an unspeakable disgrace; wyls to
be. engaged for weeks in curious netting,
working lace, or embrodiery, would be a
matter of proud satisfaction and a laudable
object of ambition.
'l‘o paint, color, or to whitewash any part
of her house would be a degradation never
to be recovered, but to paint flowers, or.
scenes, persons or places, would be all
sought after with the avidity and cu‘pidity of
a search for a gold mine.
Now in all these employmeufs which ap-
pear so degrading and confemptibla to the
eyes of the fashionable world, has the source
~ of health and happiness of millions; while
in the occupations which they adopt, there
is an emptiness in their course, and a weari-
ness and dissatisfaction at their end, which
are a fruitful source of misery and disease to
all who are thus addicted. .
Health, whether in mind 01: body, consists
in the complete soundness of theorganiza-
tion and the perfect performance of its' func-
tions. A flow or defect in the one, or a fail-
ure in the other' rs disease.
As there are laws which when obeyed,pro-
duce aeaith so there are laws which, when
complied with produce disease. Fashion
which of all things may seem to be caprlcl
one and lawless,is subject to,aud edoces laws
as certainly as any other phrase of society.
Labor is an indispensable condition to
health, whether mental or physical. Those
who lead sedentary and idle lives, lead lives
of misery and pain, aifilcfed with diseaseand
bitter ills brought on by abuse of nature's
laws, they become enfeebled in body and
mind, and at an early age, death claims them
as his own. Action is life i Laziness death!
Useful work or satisfactory employment is
.as essential to the health of the mind as to
that of the body. Work without usefulIend
' or aim is not occupation nor employment.
When the treadmill was introduced as a
mode of punishment, the wretched prisoners
felt themselves more degraded by “doing
nothing,” as they called it, than by their
crimes. How many ladies' in fashionable life
are doomed for years to feel the bitterness of
“doing nothing ” What wonder if they are
nervous, irritable and diseased? What pre-
vents them from early decay and death?
The same error which leads these unfortu-
nate creatures to avoid all the useful occupa-
tions, induces them to escape all the useful
pursuits. That sort of knowledge which
can be usefuly and subserviently applied, is
an undesirable attainment, in her estimation,
and therefore entirely neglected.
The employment of the lntellect,wifhout a'
satisfactory direction is one of the most com-
mon errors of the day Language, composi-
tion, sketching, painting, music, etiquette,“-
less rightly employed, are as unsatisfactory
mental attainments as those of conjuring
1 and fortune telling. None of them,however
pleasant they may be for the passing mo-
ments, afford the mind the slightest satisfac-
tion, or food for reflection.
Perhaps no pursuit is more vexatious than
mere novel reading. There is rarely any-
thing to comprehend, but little to learn, and
that often not worth learning , plenty to en-
joy while reading, and an abundance to suf- -
for when read.
Persons who are thus disregarding the
laws of nature, weakening and debilitating
their physical powers by indolence and spa-
thy, racking their mind and feelings by arti-
ficially stimulating their brain, are in a con-
stant state of disorder. Every change of
temperature is to them mmhcndoranee, equal
to that of persons in h passingfrom the
torrid to arctic regions, The light of a bright
sunny day blinds them, darkness of a lower-
ing, cloudy day buries them. The misfit of"
a dress' is "horrid, " the inconvenience of it is
“dreadful ."Plain, wholesome food is tasteless
and disgusting. Everything except the mbst'
exciting food, is either insipid or nauseous.
The ordinary enjoymenls of life are the
dullest of all stupidiites, and the usual or s-
hops and accidents of every day life are the
most. unendurable of miseries. From these
general conditions we may descend to par-
tiailar ones. Thus the load of hafnand nee
easary ‘ fixtures, ”which is often wcra,and the
tightness with which it is arranged, becomes
a frequent source of most distressing pains
in 'the head, which are usua. ‘ly sit down to-
neuralgia or rheumatism.
The exposure of the 'neck and chest, so
common in the ranks of fashion, is as injuri-
ous to the health of the body, as to the puri-
tyI of the soul. Diseases of the throat, the
lungs, and the heart, are the necessary con-
sequences, and thousands of the fairest of
the fair are annually thevictims of consump-
tion from this cause alone. The practice of
tight lacing or dissing: abstracts the circuits-I
lion in the muscle§, and thus hinders their
growth anddevelopmest. The consequence
of this is, that the whole of the trunk is
weak, requiring support, and liable to give
away upon being exposed to the ordinal-I
endurances of domestic life. _
The occasional. exhausting activity of a.
ball night, whatever it may do for the mus-
cles of the limbs, is of no service 1o those of
the body. . If they had their liberty, an occa-
sional dance might do them go ad, but to ex-
ercise them' ill whaleboue letters, is as absurd
and cruel as to set prisoners to dance in their
manables of iron. Again, tight laciu'g com-
presses the lungs. the heart, and all the“ im-‘
,portant organs in the interior of the body, in
such a manner. as to materially interfere with
the performance of their natural functions.—
This leads to headache, nervousness, short.
.ness of breath, palpitations of the heart, gid-
diness. and many “a bitter draught,” which
the votaries of fashion are heirs :00.
Fashion is a deviation from the laws of
health: and those who will be her votaries,
must endure the penalty other 0800020. The
"J;
the improvement of manners, and the eleva-
tion of character, were to be obtained at the

as. regardless of all this, can any woman,
annoying her body, or coasldermg her mind,
seriously and conscientiously coneulde that
she is not called upon for any useful work or
necessary contribution to society, that she,
like pet animals or flowers, were made but-
fo‘r pleasure and admiration, and- that to be
adored’and admired is all her duty saddes-
tinyf Strange infatuation ! ! And yet this
truly seems to be the undivided aim and de-

pleasing they are indeed, to look upon—but,
like the- beautful rose of summer, whose root

Death by Tight-Lucius.
It seems incredible that, in these days of
the general dlfiusioa of elementary knowl-
edge concerning tbe functions of the human
frame, any rational woman should kill her-‘
self with tight-lacing. Y of such a case actual.
ly occurred only last Sunday in this city.
The victim was only twenty‘lour years of
age. Not being 00 alight in figure as she de-
sired to be, she was in the habit, not only of
drawing her comets together herself, but of
obtaining the assist: ace of her friends for
the same purpose, until finally her ribs were
so pressed in spouber lungs-0 to cause an
attack of apoplexy, resulting in death. It is
worthy to mention, too, that the last time
upon which she submitted to this process of
lacing was in making her toilet preparatory
to attending the dedication of a church.
Even the duties of religion became the occa-
sion for sacrificing life to society. Let all
young women who are in the habit of dis-
torting their forms, under the impulses of
this same fashion, take warning by her fate.

I The Courtship of Napoleon and
Josephine;
, tut-om the Empress Josephine—By sins IuhlbaehJ
' Josephine was not alone when Bonaparte:
was announced; and when the servant named
him, she .could not reprea0 an inward fear,
without knowing why she was afraid. Her
friends, who noticed her tremor and blush,
laughed jesiingly at the fimidity which made
her tremble at the name of the conqueror‘
Paris, and this was perhaps, the reason wfi
Josephine received Gen. Bonaparte with less
complacency than she generally showed to
her visitors.
Amid the general silence of all those pres-
ent the young general (twenty-six years old)
entered the drawing-room of the Viscouutesa
Beauharnais; and this silence, however fiat-
tering it might be in his pride, caused him a
slight embarrassment. He, therefore, ap.-_
proached the beautiful widow with a certain
abrupt and perplexed manner, and spoke to
her in that hasty, imperious tone which
might become a general, but which did not
seem appropriate in a lady's saloon. I‘Geu.
Pichegru, who stood‘uear Josephine, smiled,
and even her amiable countenance was over-
spread with a slight expression of scorn, as
she fixed her beautiful eyes on this pale, thin
littleanap, whose long, smooth hair fell'in
tangled disorder on either side of his temples
over his shallow, hollow cheeks; whose
whole sickly and gloom penance bore so
little resemblance to fh ejesfic figure of
the lion to which he had been so often com-
pared after his success of the thirteenth Yen-
'demiaire.
“I perceive, General, " suddenly exclaimed
Josephine, “that you are sorry it was your
duty to fill Paris once more with blood and
horror. You would undoubtedly have pre-
ferred ‘not to be obliged to carry out the
bloody orders of the afirighfed Convention f"
. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders some-
what.
“Tliat is very possible,” said be, perfectly
quiet. “But what can you expect, Madame?
We. military men are but the automatons
which the government sets in motion accord-
ing to its good pleasure; we know only how
to 'obey; the sections, however, cannot but
congratulate themselves that I have spared
them so much. Nearly all my cannon were
loaded only with powder. I wanted to give
allitle lesson to the Parisians. The whole
affair was nothing but the impress of my
seal on France. Such skirmishes are only
tip vespers of my lame. ”
Josephine felt irritated,excited by the cold-
ness with which Napoleon spoke of the
slaughter of that day; and her eyes, other.
wise so full ofgentleuess,were now animated
with flashes of anger.
“0h, " cried she, “if you must purchase
fame at such a price, I would sooner you
were 00's of the ,vlctims.”
Bonaparte looked at her with astonish-
ment, but as be perceived her desired 11th
and flashing eyes, the sight of her grace and
beauty ravlsli'ed him, and a soft, pleuaut
smils'suddeuly illuminated his countenance.
He answered her violent attack by a light
pleasantry,and with gladsome unafi‘ecleduesa
he gave to the conversation another turn. -
The small, pale, gloomy general was at once
changed into a young, impassioned, amiable
cavalier, whose countenance grew beautifbl
under the sparkling intelligence which ani-
tasted it, and whose enchanting eloquence
made his conversation attractive and lively,
carrying with it the conviction of a superior
mind. '
After the visitors who had met that morn-
ing in Josepbiue’s drawing room had depart-
ed, the general still remained, notwithstand.

the viscouutess, paying no attention to her
remarks about the fine weather,or her inten-
tion to enjoy a promenade.
With rapid steps and hands folded behind
his back, he paceda few times to and fro the
room; then, standing before Josephine, be
fixed on her face a searching look.
“Madame," said he, suddenly, with a kind
of rough tone, “I have a proposition to make;
give me your band. Be my wife 2" '
Josephine looked at him, half astonished.
half-irritated. “Is it a joke you are indulg-
ing in i" said she. .
“ I speak in all earnestness," said Bonn;

Bou‘aparte, with vivaeity. “I pray you,

0'Well, then, 50001le cannot be your wife,
for‘I am destined to be Queen of France-
yes, perhaps more than Queen 1” ‘
It was now Bonaparte's turn to appear as-
tonished and inflated, and, using her own
words, he said,- sbmggiag his shoulders,
"lime, flit 0 joke you are indulging in?"
'.'I spak hi all Iearuatuess,” said Joiaphine,
shaking her head. “Listen, then: a negro
woman in Hartiaique foretold 8y fortune,
and 00 her oraeular words have thus far been
fulfilled, I must conclude that the rest of
' her prophecies concerning me will be reali-
sed. "
'FAnd what has she prophesied to you!"
asked Bonaparte, eagerly.

Queen of Frauds i you will be still more than -‘
queen !' "
std-ding; but now 010wa paced the room 'a
few times, his hands folded on his back and
his head inclined on hi0 breast. Then again
he stood before the viacountess, and his eyes
rested upon her with a wondrous bright and
genial expression.
‘j'I bid defiance to late,” he said, somewhat
solemnlv. “This prophecy does not frighten
:10 away, sad, in defiance to your prophetic
woman, I, the republican general, ad-
dre- my prayer to the future Queen of

Josephine felt almost afirighted at the per-
tin‘aelty of the Genenhsnd a sentiment of ap-
prchcnaiou overcame her 00 she looked into
tho pale, decided countenance of this mains
stranger to her, and who claimed her for his
wife.
‘I'Oh, air,” she exclaimed, with some 011-
guish,“ you 09111 me your hand with as much
carelessn- .0 if the whole nutter . were
merely for a contra dance. But I can assure
you that marriage is 0 very grave matters
which has no resemblance whatever to a gay
dance. I know it“ 10 so. I have had my 00d
experience, and I cannot so easily decide up-
on marrying a second time.” I
“You refuse my hand, then i" said .Bona-
parte, with a threatening tone.
Josephine smiled. “On the con trary,Gen-
. eral, ” 001d 0110, “give me your hand and ac-
company 1110 to my carriage, which has been, “f
waiting for me this long time.”
“That means you dismiss me! You close
upon me the door of you drawing room f"
exclaimed Bonaparte with warmth.
Sli'e shook her head and, bowing before
him with her own irresistible grace, she said,
in a friendly manner, “I am too good a pat
riot not to be proud of seeing the conqueror
of Toulon‘in my drawing room. To-morrow
I have an evening reception, and I invite
you to be present, General.”
From this day Bonaparte visited Josephine
daily; she was certain to meet him every-
where. At first she sought to avoid him ,but
he always knew with cunning foresight how
to bafile her efforts and to overcome all dim-
culties which she threw in his way. Was
she at her friend Therese’ a, she could safely
reckon that General Bonaparte would soon
make his appearance and come near her with
his eyes beaming with joy, and in his own
energetic language speak to her of his love
and hopes. Was she to be present at the re-
ception of the five monarchs of Paris, it was
General Bonaparte who waited for her at the
door of the hall toofi’er his arm,and lead her
amid the respectful, retreating, and gently
appliudiug crowd to her seat,where he stood .
.by hsr,drawing upon her the attention of all.
Did she take a drive, at the accustomed
hour. in the Champs Elysea, she was confi-
dent soon to sce Gen. Bonaparte on his gray
horse, 301le at her side, follofled by his bril-
liant and, himself the object of public admi-
ration a‘ndI universal respect, and, finally, if
the weutItothe theatre, General Bonaparte
never failed to appear in her logo, to remain
near her during the perfomance, and when
she left, to ofier lii0 arm to accompany her
to her carriage.
Itcould notfail that this penevering hom-
age of the renowned and universally admir-
0d young general should make 0 deep and
flattering impression on Josephine' 0 heart,
and fill her with pride and joy. But Jose-
pbinIe made resistance to this Belling , she en-
1100de to shield benelf fiom it by mater-

She sent for her children from their re-
spective‘ schools, and with [for nearly grown-
up son on one 0100 and her daughter budding
into maideahood on the other, she thus pre-
ebanting smile, said . “ See, General, how"
old I am, with a grown-1111.000 and daughter
who soon can make me Ia giandmother.”
But Bonaparte, with heart-felt emotion,
reached his band to Eugene and said. “A

hioada,10tobeenvled." .
A‘ cunning, smiling expression of the eye
revealed to Jo00phtne that he had understood
her war- ~0tratagem—tbat neither the grown-
up 0011 nor the marriigable daughter could
deter him from his subject. ‘

The state of her mind is depleted in a let‘v‘
