The Central Fresbylcnan, pumisiieu ■« this city, is a large and - handsome weekly, devoted to religious intelligence, literary, scientific and agricultural reading. To sliDgy church members we comraond the admirable letter of William Witness to Colonel Cloaefist, of Leanville, treasurer of the church of that placo. It is too true to be a caricature of so many churches in the country: Leanville Manse, March, 1871. dot. CttwerW—Dear Sir—As you have long been a member of tho Presbyterian church, and have, iv a certain way, been a i great benefactor of its ministers, it is meet j that you, and others like you, should be , informed of the great advantages daily ac- ' cruiDg to tho reverend clergy from the , course pursued, with so much constancy, by that large body of Christians of which ] you are a faithful representative. i I learn from your pastor, at whose house | I am now sojourning, that ho will tsoon bo i compelled to leave the church in which , you are an elder, and of which you are, I i believe, the treasurer —the church in which ' you have done so much to teach him les- | sons of faith, economy, and contentment < in a hard lot, in short the endurance of ' hardness as a good soldier of Christ. I i knew him when he come to this field, j jibout ten years ago, and I can assure you that I think he is much more of a man I than he was then. His body is much ( Improved by tho roligious exercise he i has been compelled to take in the ] corn-field and the woods; his back is c Beveral times stronger from such frequent j use in taking his bag of grain to and from the mill; and ho can handle the hoo, the l aso, and the curry-comb, with a dexterity J that I hardly supposed he could ever ac- l quire, unused as ho had been to this sort of manual labor up to the time when he t left tho seminary. Ho tolls me that he has frequently subsisted, for weeks, upon [ bread and milk, and, to his surprise, has i found that he and his family could live J upon that diet; though the old hen which your wife so generously gave him during [ the early days of his settlement here, has proved the progenitress of so * large a stock of fowls as to enable [ him sometimes to indulge the luxury of t a fresh egg and a fried chicken; but find- * ing it necessary to keep a little sugar and coffee, for appearanco sake, when company ' came, he has been compelled to forego / these luxuries, most of the time, in order I to effect an exchange of them with the j storekeeper for these and some oilier ne- l cessary groceries. His wife has become a I wonderful seamtross. Her skill iv patch- j Ing, and making new clothes out of old C lones, and out of scant patterns, (bought j 1 'with chickens and eggs,) quite surprises i I me. Her husbaud's old coat, which has J .renewed its life many times,is a memorial i j',of her ingenious industry. By binding {; •the edgos with alpaca braid, re.work- q | ing the button-holes, wiping off the * \spots, and by careful brushing, she has t 4 maintained for it an aspect of clerical dig- \ I nily and respectability that seems almost J i inoredible. I can hardly believe it is the i i same garment which ho wore at b's mar- J ! riage, when I had tho pleasuro of uniting I him with this excellent lady in tho fall j I 180—. And yet he tells me he has worn * I it all the time for his second best, as well as his first best, having no other, but a ragged old affair which he nover uses ex cept when about the stable, or wood pile, rflr working in his field and garden at 'i hcpie. His wife has not had a new dress ' for a long time, but she manages, I hardly know how, to look well. > 1 discover that she makes very little noise when she walks about tho house, and Ie- 1 ing somewhat curious about such matters, I have found out that she wears cloth shoes which she hns made herself, and is thus enabled to keep her leather shoes in * tolerable order for Sabbath. The things I worn on her children's feet aro, lam suro, ( s the work of her hands. They are not 8 shoes; I hardly know what they are; but ' I have learned that, with the money paid r. her by your daughter for some needle I work at the timo of tho young lady's mar- , riage, she was enabled to purchase shoes 8 for each of these little ones to appear in J on public occasions, aud that they are likely to last a long timo. ' Your pastor seems very thankful fur the 5 load of wood yau sent him winter before 1 last, and I think one of tho advantages of j tho severe ordeal through which he has passed is the thaukful spirit he has. He seems so truly grateful for any little help he gets in this way ! If you, and otho s like you, were all the time sending him things and paying up his salary punctually, he might, like Jeshurun, wax fat and kick. He would perhaps spend the time in his study which he now has to spend in open air. He might visit too much, and ba- f come a mere gadabout and gossip, or he j might eat too much and become a dyspep tic. I observe he has no keroseue oil or candles, in the house. The family is com pelled to eat supper before dark and retire ' early. How much better this is than eat- ' ing late heavy suppers and sitting up, as i he was wont to do at college and seminary, ] ruining his eye sight over his books. iei Co-Opbration.—A successful applica- ' tiou of the principle of co-operative labor is thus noticed by an exchange : Before the war, M. Paul Dupont, the great Paris printer, carried on a business of 5,000,000 francs a year. Ho divided ten per cent, of the net profits among his workmen, according to their individual merit, and not in regular proportion to i their different salaries. This house, says" Mr. Thurlow's recent report, has followed this course for twenty years, and claims the first placo in the application of one of the happiest and most successful ideas of modern times. Each new hand, on admis sion, receives a silver medal worth tivo francs as a badge of oflice and link between him aud his employer. This establishment has its sick and provi dent funds of all the usual kind*, its loans of honor to its workmen, its Caisses tie Rttraite, its eaviugs banks, its schools, libraries, reading and singing-rooms, its co-operative stores, its familisteries, gar dens, baths; in short, every invention of modern days for promoting health, wealth, happiness, and religion. To use tho words of M. Dupont himself, "it is more than a workshop ; it is a family, composed of a thousand persons." iei Suicide of a Printer.—Orlando T. Irving, a printer employed on the Louis ville Courier-Journal, committed suicide in that city ou the 28th instant, by taking hydrate of choral. In his pocket were found the following lines; Please bury me in the clothes I wear, And let nobody see uiv face; And don't let the preacher mutter a prater, At I am dumped la the burial place. iiJlA.\i:iAl.

W *> ■sT'X~« "T~ females, owing to the peculiar and Important re lations which they sustain, their peculiar organisa tion, and the offices they perform, are subject to many sufferings. Freedom from these contribute In no small degree to their happiness and welfare, for none can be happy who are 111. Not only so, but no one these yarlona female c.mplalnts can long bs suffered to run on without InroWlng the general health ol the IndlTidual, aan ere long producing permanent ■icknom and premature decline. Nor Is It pleasant to consult a physician for the rsller of thee, tartans dolloate affections, and only upon the most urgent noceistty will a true woman so far sacrifice her great est charms to do this. The sex will then thank us for placing in their hands simple specifics which will bo found efficacious hi rellering and curing almost erery one of those troublesome complaints pecnlla to these UKLIiDOLD'B KXTRACT OF BUCHU.—Hundred, suffer en In sllenco. and hundreds of others apply rafnly to druggists and doctors, who either meroly tantalize them with the hop, of a cure or apply remedies which make them worse. I would not wish to assert anything that would do injustice to the afflicted, but lam obliged to say that although it may be produced from ezcessire exhaustion of the powers of life, by laborious employment, unwhole some air and food, profuse menstruation, the use ol tea and coffee, and frequent childbirth, it Is far of tensr caused by direct irritation, applied to the mtv ouo membrane of the yagina itself. When reriewlng the causes of these distressing complaints, It is most painful to contemplate the at tendant evils consequent npon them. It is but sim ple Justice to the subject to enumerate a few of tke many additional causes which so largely affect the Ufo, health, and happiness of woman In aM classes of society, and which, consequently, affect more or less directly, the welfare of tbe entire human family.— The mania that oxists for precocious education and marriage, causes the years that nature designed for corporeal defolopoment to be wasted and perverted fti the restraints of dress, the early confinement of school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement of he ball-room. Thus, with the body half-clothed and the mind unduly excited by pleasure, pervert ing In midnight revel tho hours designed by nature for sleep aud rest, the work of destruction la hall accomplished. In consequence I f this early strain upon her sys tem, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate votary to retain her situation In school to a later day, thuß aggravating the evil. When one exoite niont is ovor, another in prospective keeps the mind morbidly sensitive to impression, while the now con stant restraint of fashionable dress, absolutely for bidding the exercise indispensable to the attainmou and retention of organic health and strength; the exposure to night air; the sudden change of tempe rature, the complete prostration produced by exoes oive dancing, must, of necessity, prodnce their legiti mate effect. At last, an early murriage caps the oil Mas of misery, and the unfortunate one, hitherto so utterly regardloss of the plain dictates and remon tstrances of her delicate nature, liecomes an unwill ing subject ol medical treatment. This is but a truthful picture of the experience of thousands o our young women. Long bofore the ability to exercise tho fhnctlens of the generative organs, they reqnlre an education of their peculiar uervons system, composed of what Is called the tissue, which Is, 1 common with the fe malo breast and lips, evidently under the control of mental emotions and associations at an oarly period of life ; and, as we shall subsequently see, these emo tions, when excessive, lead, l.ng before puberlty, to habits which sap the very life of their victims ere eature has seif-c mploted their development.
