Hurrah for the Women!

The following communication graphically
expresses not only the wrongs and sufferings
Of one poor lady in our midst, but we fear of
many others We trust husbands, fathers and
brothers. will see that the female sex in Evans
vile are abundantly provided with the Jour-
nal Il is warranted to alleviate the condition
of suffering female e00naen:
Mr. SANDERS:
1 write to you in distress. / am suffering
female. In the midst of plenty / am starving.
And yet, would you believe It'll have hus-
band who is generally indulgent and ever ready
to crafty my wants in large things; and who
has abundant means. We have plenty to eat,
have every article of clothing I want, and
my children, hope, are as well dressed and as
fat as my neighbors'. And yet, strange as it
may seem, l daily suffer, my daily life is aetu-
ally imperfect, unmade, from the absence of
one comfort, which the single outlay of one
dime per week would secure. Now the fact
is, my husband takes the Daily Journal at his
store, where he reads its fresh news and edi-
torials every morning, and no doubt honestly
tAL1ISAuo W D1AhS IhO PoPSA AIOAhS at
time-but he don't do 1t. At least he brings it
only often enough to satisfy me he intends to
bring it when he can, but that there is no use
Of his trying l have asked him to take it at
the house too, as it is only dime week.
"But," says he, whats the use of spending
even dime when it can be avoided. l take
the Journal at the store, and wouldn't be with
out it for fifty dollars year-and can bring
it up to you at dinner time"
"And pray, Mr.. Becky says /. what use
is the paper to me and children and the neigh
bors after you have read all the news out of it?
Do you suppose ooe want your leavings? Do
you think, sir, that zoe don't want to see the
paper before we commence our work, and
when it is wet from the press?"
This kind of cooled Mr.. B. down. and the
next morning he sent it to me, and afterwards
it has been as before. Now this husband of
nine boasts of getting his cigars at 81 cents a
! piece buying them by the box, and is rather
: disposed to censure those who pay more. He
smokes every day to my knowledge, for he
lights 'em before he leaves the house. three of
these cigars. making 1011 cents a day, more
than the price of your paper week-and in
{ one week 1872 cents worth. Yet he can't af-
ford to take the Journal at his house as well
as at the store! And he amt the only man
that is imposing on his wife and family in this
way, can tell you. But as { am one of the
female sex that won't be always snubbed,
9 want you to send the Daily to me, and as 'the
: devil will be to pay" Pll pay him-that's all

/ why the wife shall have it for nothing.
