In tho solitude-ihe utter desolation that
follows The last sad offices 10 departed
friend, nothing is so natural as to examine
every relic they have left behind. Parlicu-
Iarly do we love 10 touch and look at those
things, which have not been removed from
the position in which the last one placed
them. Above, and beyond all, is the value
attached to any memorandum,- diary,
in which the thoughts and feelings OF the de-
parted have been last recorded.
One of Mr.. Howard's first occupations,
when left to himself, alter the inlernent OF
his wife, was to examine The contents of her
secretary and writing desk, the keys TO which
had been last turned by her own band. lie

mark of her pen to pass unread. lie found

These wrongs will continue until wo-
men demands their redress. Who better
than herself can press that demand!- ,
They who have not the heart and the will
to demand their own rights, have little
cause to complain of their loss.
We do not believe ourselves possessed
of all the wisdom in the world, or that our
efforts will exhibit all the perfection and
strength which is looked for in old estab-
lished journals, but our editors are wO-
men who have long stood in the front
ranks of reform.
Progress is the watch-word of this age
Onward is written on the face of Socie-
ty. The lightnings Of thought by the
steam of the press, are producing revOlu-
tions never before dreamed Of in the in
tellectual, moral and political world.
Why then shall half the race be con-
tent to drag out slow existence in the
beaten paths of the dark ages ! Why be
the slave of fashion-Of false education
of ignorance, inferior estimation and
conditions! 1t cannot he so longer. AL
ready mighty movement has begun-its
course is Onward-no earthly power can
stay it. Woman will rise above her own
acknowledged weakness, above the ideas
of inferiorty which now depress her
above the Indifference and opposition of
a large portion of her own sex. TO aid
her in this good work is the design of our
humble sheet. Our PIONEER shall bear
words of cheer to oppressed woman in all
conditions of life-the working classes es-
pecial!y!
Its columns shall contain variety of
miscellaneous, interesting and general in
telIigence, such as will commend it to the
family circle. The young shall find in it
pleasing and profitable lessons of morali-
ty, education and virtue.
Having thus briefly hinted at some OF
the objects which it is in our hearts to
pursue, we confidently ask the co-opera-
ton Of our many friends, in forwarding
their names and the names of others, as
subscribers. We have undertaken our
work after much deliberation, and with
such assurances Of aid as warrant us in
hoping for good degree of success.
