About the close of last year, I was looking around for an Almanac for the present year; the first I found had the picture of a man in it with the representatives of the Zodiacal signs pointing to the different parts of the man's picture, indicating the effect of the e^mron the several members of the human body. And of course it stated ppfij&r^y and prectiely what kind o! wsftthpc we would have during the ensumg year. Not bein? pleased with v*" this kind of an Almanac, I sent to Columbia, S. C. for one, and lo ! when it ajprived I found that it was almost a duplicate of the former?entirely so in the items referred to, except it had no vulgar .looking picture of the old man, ye) if: gave the signs together with theii effects upon tjie human body. I fondlj hope that the Almanac-makers of S I Carolina have lost the old man's pic ture en&rely, and that soon they wil have renounced the false notion of th< Moon or signs effecting the severa parts of the human body. It is foolisl enough for old women to talk of- sow ing and planting in the Moon, but it i far more ridiculous to see in a Souther Almanac of the nineteenth centorjetha old obscene picture with lines projecte from all parts of it to the represents tives of the signs of the Zodiac.

A few days ago, I heard of a very sei sible thing: A certain young lady ws " * t ' ?
