THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER, MONDAY, JULY 12, 1886. TEMPTATION. Upon my arm she p'aced her hand So soft and white, I longed to selie it. Would I offend ? I took it. and t What could I do but gently squeeze It 7 Her waist was then within my reach. And, when so near to me I found it, I spent no precious time speech. But softly put my arms around it. This brought quite near her ripe, red Hps, So sweet I Could mortal man resist 'em? I trembled to my finger tips, i And drew them nearer and I kissed emt BASHFUL YOUTHS. As a general thing young ladies are much more self-possessed when they first go into society than young gentle men, and while the girl of sixteen is helped out by the kindnes of older wo men and the attention men always pay to 'the rosebuds' if they are pretty or pleasing, the boy of eighteen or nine teen is left to do the best he can for himself, and if he is modest, well bred and not conceited, he often, retires from society after a few brief plunges into it, with a feeling that he is not wanted there and will never be fitted for it. Yet, after all, hollow as society is. in many professions it is necessary for a young man to hold his own and appear well on social occasions. ft is also a relief to any one whose feelings are strong and who is apt to grow melancholy in solitude 'to nave 'some where to go.' I presume many originally able men who have become oddities, and grown careless in tneir habits and offensive in their manners, might have been comfortable and well liked if they had taken a little pains to know a few people, and to be sought at least in some small circles of so ciety. Long ago Lord Chesterfield said to his son: 'Your figure is like other peo ple's; I hope you will take care to dress so. too. Why then should you be ashamed f Why not go into mixed com pany as freely as into your own room!' And he adds: 'I remember that when, With all the awkwardness of college about me, I was introduced into good - company 1 was frightened out of my wits. If I was sure it was about me, and thought myself the object of the censure-of ridicule of the whole company, who Heaven knows, did not trouble them selves about me. In this way I suffer ed martyrdom, and should certainly have renounced polite society forever if I had not been absolutely convinced of the necessity of forming my man ners. I remember at last gaining in trepidity enough to go up to a fine wo man and tell her that I thought it was a warm day. She answered me very civilly that she thought so, too; upon which the conversation on my part ceased, until she remarked, good na turedly resuming it: 'I see your em barrassment, and I am sure the few words you said to me cost you a good deal; but do not be discouraged. All you want is manner, and do you not -toon tVint na mnp.h as vou think vou do.' 'Lord Chesterfield was supposed to be one of the most elegant men of his day; and the bashful boy who made an effort to say, 'It is a warm day, ma dam,' became Ambassador to the Hague, Viceroy to Ireland, Secretary of State, and member of the cabinet. He had all the elements of social suc cess within him, and yet, no doubt, he might have gone to the wall but for that determination to form his man ners in good sbcietyJ And what was said so many years ago to a bashful boy of any nation may read with ben efit: 'Do not be discouraged. All you want is manner, and you do not want that as much as you think you do. THE MOST SCANDALOUS VANITY. The women of New York that is to say, the women which the stranger within those gates sees on the streets are a law unto themselves. They do not resemble the women of other cities in mannei s or in anything except sex. Most of them are plump. All are mar tvrs to vanity. The most observable feature of their present martyrdom is tight lacing. The degree of squeezing wnicn tney enaure, wouia, n u were done on compulsion, very likely, be classed with some of the better remem bered expedients of the Holy Office therack,the boot and the thumbscrew, for examples. The disease is epidemic, and child and woman are alike strick en by it To the eye and the imagina tiou of man, who is bred to loose-waist edness, the evidence of fellowship be tween the bed-post andjthe corset-facer is painfully clear. The immediate and visible consequences are ungraceful locomotion and an anerrv-red face which the thickest permissible layer of white-wash does not hide. Add to this torture the agonies that spring from the Frenchiest of French shoes (in all my life I never saw the like of the shoes which I find here in Vanity Fair) and you may faintly eonceive the he roic SDirit that animates the New York woman m her self-imposed martjr- dom. Talk about man's inhumanity That's magic poetry wnicn has no foundation in truth or experience. Sut tee itself, now happily forbidden, were blissful relief from ill of earthly com parison with the crimes which these women so eagerly commit against na ture and their own bodies. Even the pitiful artificiality of their lives afflicts me less in contemplation than does this latest and most scandalous quan tity which finds expression in the last possibilities of tight lacing TWO KINDS OF GIRLS. One is the kind that appears bes abroad the girls that are good at par ties, ridesr visits, balls, etc., and whose chief delight is in such things. The other is the kind that appears be at home the kind that are useful and cheerful in dining-room, sick-room and all the precints of home. They differ widely in character. Une is often torment at home, the other a blessing one is a moth, consuming everything about ner; tne otner is a sunoeam, m smrincr lierht and crladness all aronnd the pathway. To which of these classes do you belong! What makes the breath so frajrrant, pure? What makes the rosy gums endure? "What makes the teeth so pearly white? -What makes the mouth a dear delight? "Tis SOZODONT, that precious boon Which none can use too late, too soon. It It Sever Too Late to cleanse the teeth, and render the breath odoriferous with Fragrant SOZODONT, but it is best to use this wonderful Vege table .Elixir before the teeth begin to fail, and the breath to lose its freshness. "Spaldihg's," celebrated Glue, useful and true. .'!, ' J. 21' -1 r "'I "' ROUGH HANDLING OF CHIL DREN. The cause of joint diseases in child hood are frequently obscurej bat this much is certain, that the rough hand ling which children receive at the hands of ignorant parents or careless nurses has much to do withr the mat ter. Stand on any street corner and notice how children are handled. Here comes a lady with a three-year-old girl j she is walking twice as fast as she should and the child is over exerting itself to keep pace; every time the child lags the mother gives it a sadden and unexpected lurch, which is enough to throw its shoulder out, to say noth ing of bruising the delicate structures of the joints; a gutter is reached; in stead of giving the little toddler time to get over in its own way or properly lifting it, the mother raises it from the ground by one hand, its whole weight depending from one upper extremity, and with a spring which twists the child's body as far around as the joints will permit, it is landed, after a course of four or five feet through the air, on the other side. Here is a girl twelve years old, with a baby of one year in her arms. The baby sits on the girl's arm without support to its back. This would be a hard enough position to maintain were the girl standing still but she is walk ing rapidly and the little one has to gather the entire strength of its mus cular system to adapt itself to the changing basis of support, to say noth ing of adjusting its little body to sud den leaps and darts on the part 'of its wayward nurse. Sometimes dui ing a sudden advance you will see a part of the babe a foot in advance of its head and trunk, which have to be brought up by apowerful and sudden action of the muscles of the trunk and neck. Probably not one child in one hundred is properly handled. FOURTEEN MISTAKES OF LIFE. Somebody has condensed the mis takes of life, and arrived at the con clusion that there are fourteen of them. Most people would say, if they are told the truth, that there was no limit to the mistakes of life; that they were lik the drops in the ocean or the sands of the shore in number, but it is well to be accurate. Here, then are four teen mistakes: "It is a great mistake to set up our own standard of right and wrong, and judge people accordingly; to measure the enjoyment of others by our own; to expect uniformity of opin ion in this world; to look for judg ement and experience in youth; to in deavor to mould its dispositions alike; to yield to immaterial trifles; to look for perfection in our own actions; to worry ourselves and others with what cannot be remedied; not to alleviate all that needs alleviation as far as lies in our power; to consider everything impossible that we cannot perform; to believe only what our finite minds can grasp; to expect to be able to under stand everything. HOW TO TRAVEL ON SLEEP ING CARS. A physician referring to the custom of traveling on sleeping cars with the berths made up with their heads towards the engine said: "It is certainly bad for the bram of the sleeper, as it is not natural, ana it is no wonder that so many travelers, es pecially those who have been on the road extensively, experience bad ei- fects from it. Take infants in baby carriages and no sane woman will think of trundling the vehicle along so the child goes head first. They al waysexcept the young and inexper enced mother push them along feet first. Physicians invariably advise such locomotion. It is the same thing on the cars, and no one should hesitate about having his berth made so as to move along feet first. It is much bet ter for the brain," .Ely's fjream Jtsaim was recom mended to me by my druggist as a prej ventive to Hay r ever. Have been using it as directed since the 9th of August and have found it a specific for that much dreaded and loathsome disease. For ten years or more I have been a great sufferer each vear. from August 9th till trost. and have tried many alleged remedies for its cure, but Ely's Cream Balm is the only preventative I have ever found. Hay Fever sufferers ought to know of its effi- cacy. F B: AINSWOKTH, Of F. B. AINS WORTH & CO., Pub lishers, Indianapolis, Ind. - Smith. "That dog of yours keeps me awake nights, howling."
