embarrassed TO raise her seni-annuai pay
ments in sound money.
The MARRIED Folks New LETTER WRITER,
The Philadelphia Sunday Despatch thinks
that the new law securing to married wom
en- their rights of property is destined to rev
olaiiisiize the hymeneai relation in that
5 ale. The absurd old fashioned idea that
the interests OF welded couple should be one
and ndivisible, is forever put to rest. The
rich wife, instead of being al the mercy Of
her lord, in thousand matters pertaining
TO her comfort, may rigidly enforce perfor-
mance Of the courtlng-line VOWS, by simply
lightning the purse strings. Shawls, bonnets,
! and new dresses, she may buy as many OF as
she pleases, whether her husband grumbles
or assenis; and, if unable 10 pay, she may
enjoy the delightful privilege OF personal
introduction 10 sherfls and constables.
The subject is suggestive ofmany thoughts
and among them is one touching The charge
that will now ensue in mortal epstolaty lit
erature. The medern complete letters have
no provision for this emergency, and the
Dispatch hsslens to supply the vacuum
We copy few specimens Of these modern
episties.
