SIMPLE LIVING.

Before Plus TX. applied the axe TO the
numberless abuses which he found spread
ing even to the very steps of his throne, he
commenced with that which was nearest to
hun, his own household. Sixty horses
were lattening in the royal st.bles "These
are too many by half" said the pope, and
thirty of them were Immediately sold for
the benefit of the poor of the city. His es-
adjustment he also reduced to the number
absolutely necessary. Enormous sums had
been lavlshed in keeping up the pontfical
gardens; he modified the system without in
the least degree derogaing from their beau
ty and utility. Il am priest of Jesus,
he SAID to his clerk of the kitchen, and
not Luculus. Serve me in future as a
poor p2test." From that day his table has
been furnished with only three plain dishes
and ordinary wine. After long convers-
alton with Cardinal Gizzi one evening, up
on the subject of the reforms he contem-
plated he asked for some lemonade. His
valet retired to give the necessary orders,
and IN the course of few minutes the SER
wants entered, bearing two splendid gilt
trays laden with refreshments of every de-
scription, and prepared as if by enchant-
ment. Il only asked for some lemonade, -
said the sovereign pontiff. at is true,most
holy father" they replied; but we have
only conformed to the prescribed ceremoni-
al, and according to custom have to offer to
your hIghness these various refreshments. >
Very WELL" replied the Pope. "be good
enough 10 bring me a lemon" 1t was
brought Immediately. Now give me the
sugar and glass ofwater." Then, having
made the lemonade, he added, Take away
these dishes; distribute the refreshments
they contain to the first poor persons you
find upon the place of Monte Cavallo; give
each of them ten baiocci. and for the fu.
ture never offer me any thing beyond thai
for which | ask. Go!"-1He first yeat

RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMAN,

Mr.. Chase submitted the following re.
port which was read and accepted
The majority of the committee to whom
was referred the bill TO enable aarried wo-
men to hold property in their own right
have had the same under consideration,and
report the same back with a resolution that
1t be passed. They believe it to be one OF
those necessary steps in political progress
which are calculated to emancipate woman
from that dependence, servtude, degrade
ton, and slavery, to which she has been
subjected in all past ages of barbarism and
civilization.
The majority Of your committee believe
that woman, as well as man, has rights re-
celVed from her creatOr-that it is the duty
OF government to define and establish those
rights, and to protect her IN the mainten-
ance OF an independence from the oppression
and petty tyranny which the grosser nature
OF man has too long exercised over her.
they believe that the present age, more
than any preceding one, evinces mans de-
termination to emancipate himself from the
tyranny and oppression of his unnatural
brother man, and that while great and i'm
portant moral, social and political changes,
are elevating the masses of mankind to a
condition of freedom and independence
from those who have long been accustom.
ed to trample upon their rights-that wo,
man, whose gentler and nobler nature has
been more effectually crushed by the iron
bands of tyranny and oppression, should
have some share in the efforts of humanity s
friends to elevate the family OF man. The
majority of your committee believe this to
be one of those steps in legislation, many
of which are necessary to restore to wo-
man her natural rights, and TO elevate her
TO her true sphere of action, which is (col-
lectively) the moral and social government
ofthe world. And regretting the degrade
ton and servitude which man has imposed
upon the weaker but better portion of his
race, they would recommend the passage
Of this measure, as one of the first steps to.
ward a restoration and elevation of woman
TO her proper condition.

Canada West; on the East by Michigan
and Wisconsin; on the south by the par
allel of 43deg. 30min., which is the most
northern line of Iowa; and on the west

North. The line separating Minnesota
from Michigan Is in Lake Superior, and
that separating it from Wisconsin pass.

st. Louis river, and thence south until
II strikes the river St. Croix, which it
follows TO the Mississippi to latitude 43 ]

Embraced within these boundaries
are about 10000 square mles-equal to
| 5o,O0O,OO0 of acres. I'm area it exceeds
the island of Great Britain, and is nearly
equal 10 France. Comparing it with old
States, 1t is as large as New York and
Pennsylvania For the production of wheat

United States as extremely distant and in
terror. So did Wisconsin fifteen wears AGO.
In commercial advantages, it will not be
one OF the most favored of the States, nor
yet one of The least. BY means of Lake
Superior, on which it bore ers for more than
one hundred miles, from Pigeon river to
Fond du Lac, its northern and middle por-
tton will have cheap communication with
all the Lake shores, and the Atlantic, and
through the Upper Mississippi and ST: Pc
ter's Rivers, will hold easy intercourse with
the great valley below.
Lake Superior affords abundance of
good harbors, and the Mississippi offers fine
navigation up to the Falls of st. Anthony,
more than one hundred miles above the
southern boundary of Minnesota.
With the exception of its western por-
ton, it is well watered by rivers and lakes.
It's lake border is rich in nletallerous de-
posts.
The most important points in Mneso-
ia at present, and probably for all tin to
come, are FoEd du Lac, at the western ex.
tremety of Lake Superior, and Fort Smell
ing, near the Falls of st. Anthony.

call upon all our friends for their assistance
The county of Wyandot is yet new and but
thinly settled, and to keep up paper IN TINS
place, it is necessary to make great exertlons,
and to this end we invite and call upon every
friend to lend us his aid on the present occa-
sion. Will you do it!
We have endeavored to render our paper
as interesting and worthy support as tire cir
cumstances would admit, and how far we
have succeeded is for our patrons to say. Our
exertions shall not cease here, for we intend

merit and receive living support 1t is a
difficult matter to make paper as interesting
where the support is so very limited as it has
been here, as it might otherwise be. Then
to render the paper interesting, let US have
your support We commenced the publlca-
tion under no very encouraging circumstances
and have kept up our paper with very great
difficulty and now wish our friends to give US
Il little more aid
1t is our intention to give all the latest and
most interesting news we can, miscellany
war and political.
The DEMOCRATIC PIONEER, 1t may
be expected while in our hands, will be free
from every thing like control by any man or
set of men other than the editor, fearing no
threats, and being free from any combination
other than the party with which it is connected.
1t will advocate the same doctrines that have
heretofore appeared in it, being Democratic
in every particular
With our position before you, we ask for
your support and aid to increase our subscrip-
tion. We will see in short time what can
