SENSIBLE TALX FaOil TUE SOUTH.
George AV, KeudaU writes froui Texas
in the following sensible vein to his old
paper, the New Orleans Picayune : , .
The lessons which adversity teaches
arc hard , yet they niu t be learned . An d
these lessonf are always useful. I know
that it comes hard for a young man to

to a young lady to make and put (on her
drcscs all by herself, who formerly . had

other remedy, at least for those who have
simply been ruined by the war, and the
