REFORM, EDUCATION AND Mutual In.
pRovEMENT Soc1ETY.-Our friends will
excuse US, as we have been absent mere
than two weeks. So that it has been
impossible for us to call upon our sub
scrbers in the city for the purpose of
taking the names Of all that wished to
join us. So far, among our friends
abroad, we have not met with dissent
ing voice. All say it is just the thing
we are wanting: and we have no doubt
but we shall find large majority OF
our subscribers in Providence, that will
be glad to give in their names-we hope
soon to make long list. The impor-
tance of making agents Immediately in
our own, and sister states, must be
very obvious to all women that under
stand the times.
The Pioneer and woman's advocate. (Providence, R.I.) 1852-185?, 1852-12-04

The MArrER.-The whole matter
lies in wrong education /; while men
are trained up in the practice of all
manner of deception, debaucbery, and
imposition, xasder the protection ofa coat
and pantaloons. 1t is no wonder that
young girls of seventeen, Uhat know but
little save what they have learned Of
men,) should sometimes step into their
garments, to practice what they have
learned, Think of this mothers!

her mother, with an earnestness that
told me she would never give up the
search,-Mrs. Trueman remarked to her
daughter that she thought they had bet.
ter send to New York and have Luke
come on and take the mortgage imme-
diately, as it was no more than his duty
to do this for his mother and sister, or
even no more than one friend would do
for another; for I am sure, continued
Mrs. Trueman, he can take it for few
months if he has a mind, and l wish
you t. write him tonight, Clara, that
he may be sure and come.
yes rejoined Clara, 4 know this
is the very thing that ought to be done'
but, as yet, he has no mind of his own
about it, or perhaps you have given him
the wrong name, mother. You have
named him Luke, but am sure it
ought to have been Look, for he has
done nothing else but look on ever since
we have been in trouble. But will go
over to Lawer Steadman'ss' continued
Clara, 'and see what plan he has in
view for u.s.
On her arrival, she remarked that
time was rapidly flying, and that she
had found so many shavers, that she
was very much dissatisfied with. them
and all their proposals, and that she
had come to hear some good success
from him, or her estate must come to a
sale in about two weeks.
why don't you send to New York
and have your brother take up your
mortgage for a few months, at least,
said the lawyer. 1T really seems as
tonishing to me- continued Lawyer
Steadman, that you should have any
doubts about him. Certainly he will
not refuse to do this favor for his moth
er and sister. I should send for him
immediately said the lawyer, 'and I
will meet him as soon as he comes, for
1 can tell you in thirty minutes what he
intends to do
'Very we'll, then,' said Clara, per
haps my reasons are not as good as
they should be, so | will write him again
if you think best. SIR
Write him to be sure,' said the law
yer, 'and | have no doubt but all will
be right: but continued Lawyer
Steadman, it does beat all that ever
[ see. When l first understood to sell
your mortgage, thought | should ac-
complish it in few days; but, it being
advertised in the papers, find they all

at his house, that she had better let
him have her estate for about the
face of the mortgage, for she would
be obliged TO do SO yet, and then
swore it was worth double the mon
ey he had offered.

STA :-After consulting many persons interested in
the principal Rail- Roads in the United States, the
undersigned propose TO establish agencies in this
city and in New York, for the purpose of collect
ing full and authentic Railroad statistics and
such other information az will enable them to serve
persons desiring to invest in RAILROAD securities.
or to procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction aud administration of Raj,
Roads They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress a modification Of the laws relai-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, to
thorizs the Post Office Department to contract faT
the perpetual use of Rail RQAls. and, Hstead Of
paying, ~ now, quarterly on contracts for fou,
years, to advance in FIVE per cent. bonds Of the
United States, chargenble upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmental amount, the inte.
rest upon which at 6 per cent. would equal Il e
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on 1000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
u perpetui,y five 81 900 bonds, hearing inle
rest OF five per centum. At this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
to $3.50 mile, per annum. and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
fewyears ,pay offthe Bondsand give the use ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free of all charge there
by effecting vast saving on the present annual
ex penditures of the Pc Office Department, and
consequent reduction of the rates Of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government For
instance, such contract would give to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
50, 900 900, which would enable that complete its
road at early day. and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert Of action
and continued active effort, through the press and
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable com
pensation, partly contingent upon the success OF
the measures and respectfully suggest the pro-
priety of your sending one more delegates to
this city, on the first "Wednesday in December
next, to confer with delegates from other Rail-
Road Companies, as to the details Of the propos-
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con.
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't

bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock
the products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, if not better than that of others, and
that behooves you to galantly enter the list of
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
haracter of the Judges is guarantee that you
an be defeated in no other way, you Will ENJOY
he luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
lied to success than yourself

as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
