A Warning to the Women.

Our kindness to the sex will not permit us
to refuse the request contained in the follow
ing communication, which we take from the
Kentucky Yeomanry:
This is designed to let all the world and
the rest of mankind know that William Par
ker, my husband, has left my bed and board
without cause or provocation. Scarcely had
the honeymoon passed by me before he sold
my house and lot in Scott. near Stamping
Ground, and took me TO wretched hut, in
desolate place in the Franklin hills, where
he commenced collecting all that was due
me, and selling of all possessed; after sell
ling my negro woman and child, he left and
located in Lexington, where he is now rant
ing with the gals, rugged off from top to toe
in broadcloth, bought with my niger money,
and left me destitute, forlorn and wretched
Said OLD BILL PARKER is about sixty
five years of age, low in stature heavy built,
round shouldered, baldheaded, makes a
wretched attempt to be polite and agreeable,
and countenance sufficiently base to con-
Wet him to the pententiary or the gallows
Dear sir, you will do justice to right by
publishing the above and requesting the edi-
tors throughout the Union to give i: place
ia their columns
o that his bed may be made of briars
And his path beset with thorns
And the balance of his days,
Be haunted by the Beas with heads and 10
horns
Wedlock has been woful thing to me
For marrying is not what its cracked up to be-
! thought my pathway would be strewed with
flowers and roses.
But the way old BILL has made me wretched is q
sin to moses.
