lect, in a case Of this kind, rests on so,
many contingencies that few, prudent men
will run the risk; and a%wife, therefore.
depends on what her legal master pleases

the meaning Of the WORD and few PEG.
rle have thoughtsf the great similarity
Of the authority which husbands have
lcgislated 70 themselves over their wives,
ard that assumed BY Southern slaychold,
Iers over their chattlc slaves. Lawyers
may honestly contradict these statements,
for few Of them know anything aboa: We.
mans legal relations as a wife and not
! one in hundred of them is capable of
giving All advice on the subject which is
MT a mistake We can clte the Nv and
legal decisions to sustain, ali We have said
and, While they hold out these induce
! ments to marry fra living" it is no
wonder our sage Legislators rediculc the
idea of woman following amy other bus
illness. Men are quite as anxious that
women should remain quietly under the
shadow Of their protecting wings, as are
shareholders that their property should
stay al home and be taken care, Of. We,
| for one, decline he honor cf working for
the wages accorded to wifehood don't
take our "daily bread" second handed;
but, like the "lion's young" which King
DAVID speaks Of, we '.seek our meat from
God'' earn it and eat it, saying ''by your
leave to none. And, as to surveying
logs, we would rather sag them into
boards with hapd.saw, for our bread and
butter, than take the doled pittance which
keeps most womeu's souls inside their
bodies. " '' IT, -.

We have the lst No. Of Tie Ne,o Fra
The literary department is all We cxpnct-
ed; but Mr. WooD surprises us BY his po.
si,ion on Slavery. It lisa nsa'una per Sc,
a sin in itself and he is opposc<l &c extend
ing it except by competent and primitive
legislation VIII he tell Us from whence
such legislation can possibly cone--w here
men can acquire the right to do wrong! 10
# NC should say burglary orarson OF horse
stealing was lad; and We were opposed to
its extension ,erispt by c3mpe,en' and
affirmative Legislation! The cases are
one, in principle; and legislation compc
tent to extend crime never can exist until
tho Eternal Throne IF God is subyerted

/ Mr.. ~. also assumes that it is no mat
ter what people say or John BROWNIE
may call him martyr or. murderer, it does
neither good nor harm! According to t is
the lessons of history are all usclcs; and
when Jesus was crucifed at Jerusalem,
lit did neither god nor harm for his deci-
pies to preach that H. diel to relccm
. those who deserted and revi'ed Him.
