MEssRs. EDITORS "A few days since
while taking a walk for the purpose of
inhaling the pure sea breeze, my ear,
whilst passing little chapel, was arrest
ed by a. female voice, apparently in
grief and distress. Curiosity, as we'll as
anxiety to be useful in case of need,
made me enter the open door of the
sanctuary, where to my astonishment I
found group Of Industrious women in
the gallery busily engaged in, what to
me appeared to be, cleaning house. As
my entrance had been unnoticed, I had
ample leisure to observe the cause of
their Indignation, and in which I was
soon to share.
Did ever an artist draw more gen.
uine sketch of Yankee folks than that
presented itself to my optical and nasal
organs. I should give him all due
credit for his skill, the more, if relief
was his object, for the lowly women's
sake who well deserved the sympathy of
mans inmost heart, for most horrible
sight we beheld. On the one side of
the organ heap of whittlings was
stored sufficient to kindle large bonfire
with, provided they would have been
dry, Will + the other side was occupied
by compound of the pernicious weed
with its filthy juice. Mans cursed bru-
tality has invented nuisance to all
that is noble and good. In any other
place perhaps less indignant feeling
would have been ours, but here, where
every one knows that women deem it
their privilege and duty to keep the
house of God in neat order and trim,
could not help wishing the tobacco juice
