PREVENTION Us. CURE.-When will the world
learn that it is cheaper and better, to gather
up the neglected, vagrant children and teach
them morals and science, than to support
them as paupers when they have become men
and women, or punish them for their crimes,
or, finally, hang them?
WOMEN always want something to lean up
on. Like a hop vine or a "forty foot bean,"
they are nothing to compare without a sup
port. Therefore, We argue, that a husband
should be placed at the side of every young
lady in the land-(old ones too, when practi-
cable) What a stick is to the garden pea so
is a husband to the feminine human.

Wash days T" troubles over !" That chal
will make a living.
LADIES sleeves are now made large so a
to admit the dear creatures l~aughingin then

OUR JEFF wants to know which makes tn

Debating Club for debate in their next Ba
Room meeting. If favored with a report, W
