WoAAs's RieBTs.-Lucy Stone. in
one Of her recent speeches on Woman's
Rights. said:
"If woman was not satisfied with
the labors. of the factory or the school,
liz she stepped beyond the regular limits
assigned her by common usage, she was
Epointed at and hocted BY the world
For oftentimes the poverty of woman is
such that she is driven to life Of
shame to earn bread for herself and
children. In addition to these evils,
there too often eomesa profanatiop OF
the holiest tie woman can formLthe
marriage relation-for frequently she is
driven by poverty to marry nan for
whom she can have no affiE;sies, mere
ly for the sake of procuring a susssiiss-
tence." - --@-s ---i
To which Mrs. Swissbelm, the edi-
tress of the Pittsburgh Saturday Visi-
tor, who has some sensible views of her
own on this subject, rejoins:
ave have already denied, and we
again deny, that woman who steps
beyond the regular limits assigned her
is pointed at and hooted. We never
knew a woman take up an honorable
employment and pursue it zealously,
but what she was honored for her enter
prise. We also beg leave to express our
that no virtuous woman ever
was driven to life of shame to get
bread for herself and children. Such
declaration is a ponstrous libel upon hu-
manity. We agree with the odd king of
Isreal, who said: 4 have been young
and now am old, vet l never seen the
righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging
bread Begging bread they may be,
but they are never forsaken and left to
such degradation as Miss Stone speaks
of. Poverty could be no extenuation of
such crime. and we are. sorry to see
the leaders of the woman's rights
offer such plea in pallia-
ton. There is always poor house into
which virtuous woman and her chill
dren can be admitted. or if not. there is
a river into which she could throw her
self and them"

AMBIrEoS.-All writer's rather cast a
slur on this word. Show us the poor
fool without it, and we viii show you
one unfit to live and too mean to die
Ambition is the purest feeling men can
possess. 1t is the noblest of virtues
Let plodding slaves toll on from day to
day, but man should aim upward, and
every thought he has should be ambi-
tiouS. We would rather live on a crust
of bread and sleep in a garret, than
have any one say, Go, and do so and
so." Some fools think otherwise, and
one to see them would really think they
thought themselves somebody; whether
such things live or die, it is all the same
to the world; none will miss them and
many will be glad to jump in their
shoes.

CHARCOAL FOR TURKEYS. 1t is said
that charcoal when mixed with the food,
fattens turkeys very rapidly. a cores
pondent of the Germantown Telegraph,
says: a-o
81 have recently made an experiment,
and must say that the result surprised
me, as had always been sceptical.-
Four others, of the same brood, were
also at the same time confined in another
pen, and fed daily on the same articles,
but with one pint of very finely pulver-
lied charcoal mixed with their meal and
potatoes. They had also a plentiful
supply of broken charcoal in their pen.
The eight were killed on the same day,
and there was a difference of one and a
half pounds each in favor of the fowls
which had been supplied with the char
coal, they being much the fattest, and
the meat greatly superior in point of
tenderness and flavor.

Soulouque. the negro Emperor, never

Even at private receptions, he common

IN New York, decorated with brilliants

He has seven stars composed of dia-

sions. each of which cost over $4,000.
He will wear nothing but the best of
its kind and has a special aversion to
anything plebeian or unimperial. Hence
his indignation at the proposition to sell
him Queen Adelaide's second hand

! MR. PUsH---In an article in which q
wen merited castigation is applied tc
this gentleman for a long demagogus
course, the Cincinnati Commercial closes
with the following remarks, which are
wen worthy of remembrance at this
time:
Politicians would not dare to be hall
so rascally to-day, if the public would
take the trouble to remember what they
were yesterday. @ Relying upon the for
getfulness of the people. they faunt
ltbeir i'll gotten honors and titles before
the eyes of the world, and assume, that
having attained patriots success they
may claim patriots honors. To us,
Mr.. Pugh, the Senator. is no more than
Mr.. Pugh, the indiyidual-Mr. Pugh,
the politician-Mr. Pugh, the dema-
gogue. We have seen him in all these
characters, and understand which he
plays the most successfully. To us, the
Senatorial garment has concealed moth
ing. We cannot forget. if we would,
that it holds, the embodiment of ten
years struggle to build himself upon
the ruins of the trade of the city of his
BIRTH Seven years ago. when Cincin
natl had a currency of her own, Mr..
Pugh pledged himself to its destruction.
From turret to foundation stone,' said
Mr. Pp9h sthe- hanks of Cincinnati

devote myself to the work We heard
the speech, and remembered it. The
work has been done according to Mr..
Pugh's intention, if not by his instru
mentality. If it is good work, he is
entitled to credit, and he is, doubtless.
obliged to US for calling the attention of
the paolic to its protector; if otherwise,
who doubts our right to set forth fact
of which we were, personally cogni-
zant?J yIs1.r--r 7- 2g

A PUZZLED YANKEE The following
extract of letter from a Yankee cor
respondent of the Galveston News, is
highly amusing: H --a H-- r.--
Well, put up with a first rate, good
natured fellow, that l met at a billiard
table. l went in and was introduced to
his wife, fine, fat woman-looked. as
tho she lived on latin, her face was so
full of fun. After a while-after we'd
talked about my girl, and about the
garden, and about the weather. in come
three or four children, latin and skippin
as merry as crickets. There was no
candle lit, but / could see they were
fine lookin fellows, and l started for my
saddle-bags, in which l put lot of
sugarcandy for the children as l went
along.
Come here,' said 1, you little rogue,
come here and tell me what your name
is
The Oldest one came to me and says
my name is Peter Smith
And what's your name, SIR
Bob Smith 81
The next said his was Bill Smith,
and the fourth said his name was Tom
my Smith. gave 'em some sugar
candy, and old Mrs. Smith was so tickled
that she laughed all the time. Mr..
Smith looked on, but didn't say much.
Why says l, Mrs. Smith, would
not take a good deal for them four boys,
if | had 'em--they are SO beautiful and
sprightly.'
No. said she, latin 4 set a good-deal 1
on 'em, but we spoil 'em too much
No. no. says l, they're rale well be-
haved children; and by gracious says
/, pretendin to be startled by striking |
resemblance between the boys and the |
father, and | looked at Mr.. mith,-'I
never did see any thing equal to it, says I
l; your own eyes, mouth, forehead and
perfect picture of hair, SIR tapping the
oldest on the pate. l thought Mrs.
Smith would have died latin at that
her arms fell down by her side, and
She shook the whole house latin.
DO you think so, Col. JONES' said
she looking toward Mr.. Smith, and 1
thought she'd go off in fit.
Yes says /, i do, rally
'Ha, ha, haw' says Mr.. Smith, kind
''half laffin,' you are too hard on me
low with your jokes
1 amt jokin at all, says l, they are
handsome children, and do look wonder
ully like you
Just then gal brought light in,
md I'll be darned if the little brats
lidn't turn out to be niggers-every )
ne of 'em! and their hair was as cur
y as the blackest niggers! Mr.. and
1rs. Smith never had any children, .
nd they sort of petted them higgers

l never felt as streaked as 1 did when :
found out how things stood. If l f
adn't kissed the nasty things. could 7

Grape, l didn't know. Mrs. Smith, $,
lughed so hard when she saw how con- b
Ised | was that she almost suffocated. :;
a little afterwards, there was whole d
amily of relations arrived from the v
ty, and turned the matter off; but the "
ext morning l could see that Mr.. Il
