A Cry for women.
From the New York Ex Dress.

4lOhl GtlS ANCN VI n tIISoos
The great lack of women in the new min
ing Territories of the far West-nearly the
entire population Of Nevada and Colorado
being of the male sex-is attracting atten-
tion. Houses and cities, silver and gold
are not worth much without the society and
help of women. Neither wives nor SER
wants, it is said, can be had, though both
have unequaled opportunities. The Rocky
Mountain Ne,eS, Of the l4th ultimo, de-
clares that women will find in that country
the Utopia of their dreams" Husbands
can he had at leisure, and those wishing to
engage in household employment can quick
ly acquire fortune. In the populous Ter
ritory of Colorado We are told.
There is scarce one woman where six
could and would be rroftably employed if
they could be be obtained. Wages here,
for common household duties, are from
thirty to fifty dollars per month, including
board. This makes wages, at the present
rate of boarding, from eighty to one hun
dred dollars per month
These wages are payable in gold, and
the Rocky Mountain editor thinks that,
Were the population something near
evenly divided in relation to sex, many of
tflOSe WHO nave tiO nAeu TcSlueHCc, DuL are
always coming and going, would contract
matrimonial alliances, aud make Colorado
their permanent homes. We want more
women to give pormanency to society, and
thus do away with that everlasting, never
failing salutation Of when are you going
to the Statcs?'
''Tbe young men who come to this coun-
try to develop its resources and make their
fortunes, are composed of the best energy
and enterprise of the United States. and il
corresponding numbers of the opposite sex,
of equal ability, could be induced to emf
CRATE from those sections where there is
already surplus OF female population, an
advantage would accrue to all parties, and
Colorado would secure permaneuce Of
settlement that is much needed. We have
beautiful country, healthy climate, and
wealth untold"
Governor Andrew of Massachusetts, who
has just given us such a sad picture of the
great redundancy of the female population
in the old Bay State, should look to these
facts and arneals. .W ii . ...

On the morning of the meteoric shower,
in 1882, old Pcyton Roberts, who intended
making an early start to his work, got up
in the midst of the display. On going to
his door, he saw, with amazement, the sky
lit up with the falling meteors, and he con-
Guided at once the world was on fire, and
that the day Of Judgment had come. He
stood for moment gazing in speechless ter
ror at the scene, and then with yell Of hor-
ror sprang out of the door into the yard,
right into the midst of the falling stars, and
there in his efforts to dodge them, ne com
menced series of ground tumbling that
would have done honor to rope-danccr. -
His wife, being awakened in the meantime,
and seeing Peyton jumping and skipping
about the yard, bawlcd out to him to know
What in the name of common sense he
was doin' out thar. dancin' round without
his clothes on" But Peyton heard not. -
The judgment, and long black accounts he
would have to settle, made him needless o.
all terrestrial things, and his wife, By this
time, becoming alarmed at his behaviour
sprang out Of bed, and, running to tht
door, shrieked out at the top of her lungs
=, "Peyton, / say Peyton, what do yor
mean, jumpin' about thar? Come and pu
your trousers on.
Trousers, what the HIS the use o
