1t is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are VirgInians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow citizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprlze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men, Their
defence or Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
warm unremltting and as fur as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their shee
will deny To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas

withheld from her-nOr can it be, but by
the preparation of a crime, the measure
of which has revealed itself in the past.
The disabilities and legal burdens which
society imposes upon woman shall be laid
bare to the view of those whose right IL is
to claim equal justice to all.
These wrongs will continue until wo-
men demands their redress. Who better
than herself can press that demand p
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-
tons never before dreamed Of in the in
tellectual, moral and political world.
Why then shall half the race be con-
tent to drag out a slow existence in the
beaten paths of the dark ages Why be
the slave of fashiOn-of false education
of ignorance, inferior estimation and
condition? 1t cannot he SO longer. AL
ready mighty movement has begun-its
course is onward-DO earthly power can
stay it. Woman will rise above her own
acknowledged weakness, above the ideas
of inferiority which now depress hef--
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 Iife-the corking classes es-
pecially! al.
Its columns shall contain a variety of
miscellaneous, interesting and general in
telligence, 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.

LABOR ON.

In the morning SOW thy seed,
In the morning of thy youth
Prompt to every generous deed,
Scatter wide the seeds of truth:
He whose sun may set at noon
Never can begin too soon.
Long, indeed, beneath the clod
1t may lie forgot, unseen,
Noxious weeds may cloIhe the sod,
Changing seasons intervene
Summers heat and winters frost
Yet that seed shall ne'er be lost.
In the morning sow thy seed,
Nor at eve withhold thy hand
Who can tell which may succeed
Or if both alike shall stand,
And glorious harvest bear,
To reward the sOwer's care.
The Pioneer and woman's advocate. (Providence, R.I.) 1852-185?, 1852-07-17

EVERY cause which aims at great re-
suits, for good or evil, seeks its support
in the strong arm of the Press. One of
the greatest questions of this age is that of
woman's true elevation. Papers devoted
to other reforms have, to limited extent,
advocated the elevation of woman to her
rIghtful rank by the side of man. But
woman has not, in this country, a paper
devoted to her cause in this broad sense
this comprehensive view, which now ev-
erywhere is taking possession of the minds
of this generation.
Believing the time has come when such
an Organ should exist, breathing out the
heart, and speaking out in the defence of
woman faithfully and fearlessly, we send
forth our PIONEER, and propose to issue
it semi-monthly, at One Dollar per year,
in advance, payable on the reception of
the first Number.
We are aware of the magnitude of our
undertaking, and of the difficulties in our
way. But the cause of woman is upon
our heart, and the burdens and duties of
her defence shall be our pleasure.
We are not the organ Of any sect, par
ty, convention or clan-we hold ouselves
amenable only to God and good con-
science. We shall discuss the subject of
woman's oppression and degradation by
the character Of the labor to which she is
subjected, the beggarly wages paid her,
the cast which places her in ten thousand
instances beyond the reach of intelligence,
excluding her from the higher institutions
OF learning, and the professions for which
she is SO well adapted. Since man, in
the formation of his early mind, is the
creature of her hand, bearing the stamp
of her image forever, no Intellectual cul-
ture to which man can attain, should be

soil and of society-when they becomf
aware of the fact that their wisest "a.
visers and their truest friends are to be
found within the limits of their own
households and will invite their homes
and there form their farmers clubs, and
arrange their plans and examine their
prospects, they will discover that the
community have genius above being
simply their maids-of-all-work, mere la
bor-saving machines, designed to cook
potatoes, or mend stockings or to make
fashionable calls, and repeat the silly
nothings and nonsense Of polite society.
Let farmers take as much pains to in
crease the happiness and cultivate the
minds of the females of their house
holds, as they do to enlarge their fields
and fertilize the soil, and they will Sc.
cure harvest of more value than any
or all to which premium has ever been
awarded by any agricultural committee
ever chosen.-Culticator.

THE FARMERS WIFE.


So much has been said and sung in
praise of "a farmers life," that, appa.
rently. no time or space has been spared
to speak of the life led by his better
half" Our country is blessed with an
abundant monthly harvest of leaves,
containing valuable information in re-
gard 10 the culture of almost all kinds
of fruits and plants, and the appliances
and means best adapted to the improve.
ment and growth of the domestic ami
mals-but these lords of the soil seem
studiously to have forgotten that their
houses, as we'll as their barns and past
ures, contain lioe stock, to which part
of their attention should be given.
The farmers wye should be an inde-
pendent healthy, happy, and cultivated
woman-one on whose culture, both
physical and mental, the agriculturist
has bestowed at least as much thought
as he has upon that of his swine or his
turnips-but is it so?
When young farmer arrives at an
age that he wishes to choose for himself
fitting wife, he naturally desires one
whose intellect and taste has been en-.
larged and educated to an equal degree
with his own, and generally he prefers
one who has either been reared upon a
farm, or has become personally acquaint.

are readily grat6ed, for girls who have
been carefully trained and we'll educat.
ed, are happily, at this day, far from
being rare, or difficult to find. A genu-
inc love of good books, skill and taste in
music, and the arts, combined with
depth and strength of intellect, are pos.
sessed by many Of the young girls who
have enjoyed the privilege of a country
birth and residence.
Such person, not unfrequently unite:
her fate with that of farmer, thinking
no doubt, from what she has read ir
agricultural periodicals. that thus she
can more certainly crafty her taste fo
horticulture and the establishment o
her home, and at the same time fulfil &
more exalted destiny than she could ex
pect to, if she was to become part o
the fashionable circle of the city or vii
lage. Yet she is ambitious to perform
as much labor as her neghbor, who ha'
for years been engaged in household
labor, and therefore assumes the duties
of housewife, and maid-of-all-work, ant

to see his neighbors' wives toiling from
morning until night, in the cook ant

cart; and thus from mere custom, and
want of thought, he allows the woman
of his love to become his most devoted
slave.
From this time forth, the life of the
farmers wife is one of confinement and
unremitting toll. From early dawn un'
til late at night, it is nothing but mend
and botch, cook and bake, wash and
sweep, churn and make cheese, wait
upon her husband and his band of la
borers, bear children and nurse them.-
No time for relaxation or enjoyment, OF

the farmer and his family increase. the
husband becomes more noticed, and his
circle of acquaintances and friends en-.
larges; he daily meets his associates
and mingles with the world, but his wife
tolls on in the old dull routine, with
nothing to break in upon the monotony
of her existence, except perhaps the ad.
vent of another child, or the death Of
one to whom her heart is bound in the
strongest ties.
The husband, it may be, is engaged

quently to town for a market, or for'his
pleasure, but he never thinks of his
martyr wife, and the necessity there is
in her nature, that she should share with
him his pleasures and relaxations. Her
labors are never ended, her cares never
cease, until premature old age has come
upon her, and with blanched and bowed
form, she sinks into an early grave,
leaving the children of her love, and the
property she had saved andf earned, to
the cares of more youthful successor,
who not seldom avenges these wrongs
by tyrannising over the husband and
abusing the children.
