THE HOOP DISCUSSION. 



Really, ladies, I thinl; this question Las been 

 quite thoroughly canvassed. No doubt it is a very 

 important subject, but is it do! rather inappropriate 

 that so much of the space of n literary aod family 

 '■ mlrj be occupied in the discussion of 

 how a ludy shall wear tier petticoats; and whether 



Rdihi. bus many friendu because it teems with 



useful information — ivilli t i for mind and heart. 



Is it not detracting from the dignity of a paper 

 occupying (lie position that the Rural does, to 

 have its columns taken up with ulmt would belter 

 suit a "Woman's Right's" organ? My ideas may 

 arise from prejudice that will wear away when tbe 

 long-expected day shall arise, when the "r 

 dn"," s ),ull I" installed into public favor,— 



As to the present stylo being tho cause of ill 

 health, 1 have no doubt any other mode of 

 can bo made just as uncomfortable as tbe 

 Tight lacing is much more injuriou!

tures id tea London parks, aud, indet 



;il I over England, is ihe innumerable nurse-maid 



themselves radiant with health, with their sti 



more radiaot children. Thus the English girl 



early trained to a habit and love of walking tin 



she never loses, and in this way secures round 



limbs, and expanded chest, and ruddy countenance 



While still a child. It is hardly necessary to saj 



that the shoes of F.ugli^b children bare thick soles, 



nod that their clothing throughout is very carefully 



adapted to the season and tbe 1 



lam afraid that American mothers will laugh 

 when I say the mothers Df England are very p&i 

 ticular not to allow their children, before they ar 

 old eoougb lo walk, to sit much on the carpet, a 

 it is a posture unfavorable to enjdness aod fulloess 

 ofiigmc. They are therefore I aught, with espec 

 pains, to roll themselves on the carpet, and to 1 

 on the stomach, all of which hu- a direct tendeocy 

 to secure a perpendicular spinal column and a 

 broad, full chest. 



It is a beautiful feature of English families thai 

 tbe childieu, instead of being pushed into prtCO- 

 cious maturity of dress, aud manners, and habits, 

 are children all along; their parents love to hart 

 itso— simple, free, joy ous.phm rig, laughing, romp- 

 ing all they can. It is not the least of tbe advanta- 

 ges of this, that when womanhood comes, as come 

 it will in spite of everything, it sets easily and 

 gracefully upon them.

 Bjiicuously evident at home, aud I was immedial

 melting under the softening influence of kindness 

 and sincerity. Faint o.limpses of a new life dawued 

 upon me, a renovate. 1 spirit fresh and pine, rejoic- 

 ing in all that is holy and noble. I found teachers 

 imbued with that true missionary spirit which 

 falters not under defeat, shrinks not from difficul- 

 ties, wearies not with dullness or carelessness, and 

 never ceases to gaze with that far-seeing eye of 

 faith beyond the discouraging present. I caught 

 a dim glimpse of that beautiful inner life which

The commonest practicabilities are lir.si begolten

 girl, with deep black eyes, liquid in their distant

 my musing hours. Through the rose-tinted me-

accustomed to transmit their messages from dis-

 they still retain along their trunks the sympathetic
