TKe aeood report of his character" may well
be doubted who would shield himself behind
the patriotic feelings of a lady, to urge a cor
respondenee she by no means desires.
as. B."-"Honor and rank from no eondi-
tion rise" To labor in sny sphere is not dis
honorable. If the poor farmers wife you
speak Of, has nothing to regret but the want of
asoft white hands," she is among the happiest
proud Of her.
UNIoS GIRL" Inquiries '''if they are not
iustifable in discriminating in favor of the
brave and noble soldiers. and against the base
and cowardly home pet" !" and wants to know
show they are to get rid of the sweet little
men" OF course, so far as expression, you
have right to speak as you please of the
pets; what to do with them, or how to get rid
of them is another matter, unless you adopt
the cause suggested in last weeks Journal, by
sYelunteer's sister"-or have them employed
as-vet nurses.
'fYoUSG MAN"-Says the Mereerville girls
would kOlLer for Union if old JEFF himself was
by-thinks it don't look nice-that they won't
even let them work for their fathers when
they would hire them, and that the aforesaid
girls are going to raise the next crop, and
wants to know how to spite them, &c.
Well, young man, we commend the spirit of
the MercerFille girls, and hope they may carry
out their intentions. They served you right
when yeu hollered for JEFF. Stale eggs are
not very nice Weapons, but presume they are
in keeping with your principles. AS to
splicing the girls We can tell you hOT not TO do
it,-yolunteer.
"LABoRrNe YoUrH"-Complains "that the
Union girls in his neighborhood are shout to
prove too hard for the "pets," and are much
worse since Stuart of the Goth Regiment, o.
v, was down there" that they hold Union
meetings and make speeches which he thinks |
"ain't rite,p &c. lo sssa ef f-rt
The'fsdies Of your place seem TO enter into |
the spirit of this war. What nest OF traitors |
you would be, but for them. Look ont for
Stuart Of the 60th. He will be out again |
shortly. As TO Union meetings, they are the
right thing, and If you wish to 'tstop their |
tax, the surest way to do it is to go in, and
'tak'' for the Union yourselves. ig
''AIHoxY"- -Propounds the following.-
"What business shall follow7" We answer
any useful and legitimate business That is
best which you can perform best Fit your
self for it whatever it be. Then success win |
depend on you, not on the. business. But
above all sick to your business. Many men
of high capacity fail, from changing their oc-
euPatiOns. Whatever it be, if usefufand law
'fMRs. CRoLY don't seem to under
stand ths laws of the road, with regard to
handsome faces, or you would not be in such
high dudgeon at gentlemen whom you accuse
of qimpudently staring you in the face" &c
In ourjudgment when lady walks the streets, ]
she leaves at home her virtuous Indignation i
eountenance She rs well aware that the ,
street is picture gallery, and that pretty
faces, framed in pretty bonnets, are designed
to be seen, and everybody has right to see {
them. A man might as well be asked to pass
through garden. of flowers without glancing ,
at their beauty as to pass such lady on the ,
street, without offering the approaching
homage of the eyes to the passing image.
"HoME PErs"-Your especial order No ]" =
came too late for this number. The tone of b
ut is not precisely in accordance with our sense
of propriety, in view of the fact that ladies +
are the objects of attack. We know well, that
the writer is emphatically "ladies man, and T"
would be the last to utter an offensive senti- s
ment to the objects of his admiration. If al /
bowed to "expunge' portion, the balance e
mightreceive reply from "Volunteer's Sis :
ter" but as it now stands, very surely every :,
lady would treat it with silent contempt.
"ABRAHAN"-Not knowing can't state; and
not being interested don't care.
