o. We ,poke, a few days ago, Of the
course pursued hy many ambitious Mo'h-
ers n the Gisposiion Of their daughters,
and of The wicked desire which they mani
iesle to settle them down in life in all os-
teutatlous manner, So that they may make
an cxiravagant display in the wor d, and
he regarded among the most distinguished
and fashionable hdics of the day, regardless
Of consequences in domcs'ic loin, of
view. We pronounced ihi- sin OF fearful
dyc, and d nuunccd such conduct on The
part OF fmothcrs as unnatural and unpardon-
able. 1t is night that a mother should de-
sire to see her daug lier married to an hon
est, worthy and respectable man, whose
business is such as will warrant Il comfort
abe supper, for her daugh,er, whose char
acicr is irrrproachabc, aud whose dispo-
situn is such as TO induce her to believe
that her daughter vii be happy with hin.
Beyond this she has no moral night 10 IN
terfere, aud if SIZE does, she violates her
sacred duty as a mother, an she nflicls a
great wrong upon her daughter, at a pc
culiar period in her life, for which il will be
impossible for her to make reparalion in af-
ter years.
When mother manifests disposition
or even a willingness to dispose Of her
daughter to man merely on account of
his wealth, or who would dash her into the
foIlcs of fashionable life, with the hope
that her personal attractions will fasc-
nate some branlcss fool whose wealth is
his only recommendations - she commits
an offence against hea"eu which God will
not forgive. What must be that mothers
reflections when the fire of ambition has
been quenched, and the thirst for dls,Inc-
must she think and feel. when, in after
wears, she beholds that daughter miserably
unhappy, in consequence of having mar
ricd such man to please that mother =
She cannot love him, for there is no con-
genia i,y Of soul, no sympathy Of seuliuent
between them and although she is sur
rounded by wealth aud all the luxuries
which money chn purchase, yet she is
devoid of that which no treasure of earth
can obtain, ,-domestic happiness. Let such
mothers reflect upon their conduct let
then ask themselves il they are doing right
thus to influence a daughter whom they
know wou d not willingly dsobcy paren-
tai injunction even though II was very Sc

! These are matters which mothers should

young woman's happiness through life is
too sacred matter ,o be ,rfed with, cs-

life through which tho daughter is about to

n<The Committee OF the Newport Tel


ecraph Company held meeting Monday
evening, and decided to have the Telegraph
Office. in this town, at Kins!ey's Express
Office. There were but two applicants
for it. Mr. Kinsley offered the Company
ak per cent. per annum on the capital
stock, to be paid in Tsiegraphic matter.-
We offered four per cent. on the capital
stock, TO be paid IN CASH. The Com
mi,,ee decided in favor of Mr. Kinsley, or,
rather, majority Of them decided 10 this
effect moro than a week ago. AT lea
three members Of the Committee were de-
,ermined that the Office should not be loca-
rad in our building, and that We should not
have the control Of the line at any rate, as
they are personal enemies of ours. How
the s,ockholdeis will approve of such man
acement is more than we can say hut The
operation on the part of those who held the
controlling power 10 the Cammi,'ee is spe-
cies Of puppyism which would disgrace any
decent whit, man. As it is, the Tele-
graph will not amour, TO anything as far
as the stockholders are Concerned, because
they are obligated to take their pay from
Mr.. Kins'ey in Telegraphic matter, Had
the business been fairly managed, even
though the Office had been elsewhere than
under our control, we shou'd have patron
iscd e liac, for news dispatches, To an
amount that would, in itself, have paid at
least 10 per cent. per aonum to the stock
holders.
We have no objections 10 Mr.. Kins'ey,
or any one else, having the line, provided
ibey actually paid iairer price for II than
we offered but II is the meanness OF the
