Tbc opening article in th* first number contains an extraordinary greet? ing, part of wh^ch is as follows: "It is the ago of dirty speech and of unclean'-writing. Walk the streets of London hy day or night, and tho oaths and obscenity will sicken you; while the doubtful doul>le eniendre provokes silvery laughter in many a drawing-room. As to dirt* writing,' n? journal now, no work of fiction,'no drama pays, unless it contains allusions to sinful passion, unless it portrays the pleasures of sense. Our popular novels, especially, to their endless shame bo it said, th oso written bV . women, are fu?T bf the details of illicit rpassioh, and eagerly devoured by h. os te of, u neus p oe ti n g girls. . The drama has for jorae timo been merely a vehicle for tho exhibition of .tho ankles of cer? tain yoong ladies who keep broughams on eighteen shillings a week.? The po? pular songs of the ; day all turn upon suoh vices; in tho stationer's shops tho portraits of tho' everlasting lorelle lan? guish sido b? side'with venerable bishops and- grave statesmen; go into society's ball-rooms, and the style of dress ladies adopt approaches to the simplicity of that worn by Eve in Paradise; tho re? cords of our hospitals are full of tho dire effects - of. the vice . of tho day; everywhere, wo s??, evidences of this miserable sensuality which is eating into the heart of society-this is verily the ego Of dirt/' '. English women seem disposed to show that they can do bumo things os well as men. At the recent annual dinner of the Badminton Farmers' Olub, thc Duchess of Beaufort took the ohair, thc Duke, her husband, tho President of the olub, who should have presided, having been called away by important business. The noble chairwoman announced the usual toasts in the proper manner, and replied to the. drinking of her OWE health with a brief but pointed little Bpeech. Her young daughter, the Ladj Blancha Somerset, also'responded to thc toast of the younger branches of the family. A number of other ladies were present nt tho dinner, and, it is con coded, rendered the proceedings not one whif le88??veiy. ^ ' TH? ' WOODPECKER.-An exchange says: "Wo fin VG seen the planters killing the woodpecker for sport. They are re? garded as a nuisance, because they peet holes in the shuck, ?nd are charged wit! eating young corn. But in this last par ticular injustice is done them. If yoi will go to every.air they have pecked, and examine closely, yon will find that i worm has been there eating the corn but : it is not there then, because tbi woodpecker has taken it off: the ear ant swallowed it. Instead of eating youl corn, it will protect it from the worm He is, therefore, your friend, and co your enemy, and yon should not kil him."t . di .
