SOUTH CAROLINA MAIDS AND WIDOWS
OF TIE OLDEN TIME.-In turning over
the leaves of very delightful book, lately
published, our eye chanced to fall on the
following petition, signed by sixteen maids
ofCharleston, aud presented to the Cover
nor OF that province on March 1, 1873.
i To Ills ExCEL3ENCY Gov JOHNSON
The humble petition Of all the Maids
whose names are undcrwri,tcn:
Whereas, We, the humble petitioners,
are at present in very melancholy dispo-
sitiGn of mind, considering how all the
: bachelors are blndly captivated by widows,
and our youthful charms thereby neglected,
the consequences of this our request is,
: that your Excellency will, for the future,
order that no widow shall, fur the future
!. presume to marry any young man ill the
, maids are provided for; or else to p2y each
Of them fine for satisfaction for invading
our liberties aud likewise fue TO be laid
on ali such bachelors as shall be married
to widows. The great disadvantage it j.
to US maids is, that the widows by theil
forward carriages DO snap APP the young
men and have the vanity to think theiI
!, merits beyond ours, which is great i'm
: position on US who ought to have the pre-
ference.
9 This is bumbly recommended to you
EEcelleucy's consideration, aud hope vol
viii prevent any further insults
; And We poor maids, as in duty bound
$ will ever pray.
a p. 81 being the Oldest maid, AM
: thereby most concerned, do think it prop
. er to be the messenger to your Excelleuc,
: in behalf Of my fellow subscribers.
