Some enc of the fair sex ''goes for''
John Martin, of the Atchison Champion,
in the following style. We copy from
the Atchison Free Press.
EEIroR FREE Press: In Sunday morn
ing's Champion, the editor makes the
following statements, to Wit:
Fret. 1--WE readily conceds the right
of women to vcte."
Second. MAN needs woman, as she
is, to turn him from evil influences and
revive in him the better angles of his
nature"
Third. "The right of Suffrage would
not benefit, but only tend to degrade wo-
man. 1"
Now, Mr. editor, care not whit for
the ballot, but as the Champion man pro-
poses 'at some future time, to give the
subject full, fair and frank discussion"
l would be pleased to have him tell us
First. When, where and how, We ac-
quired the right to vote, which he SO gen

Second. If our right to the ballot be a
natural right at what period in the world 8
history was that right first denied Us, and
from what source did men derive The
pO10er to thus deprive US of the exercise
of natural right?
Third. If the exercise of the elect We
franchise be degrading in its tendencies,
"a the editor seems to conclude, and man
needs the influence of woman TO revive
in him the better angles of his nature,
why deprive her of the exercise of the
best means of accomplishing So desirs-
bic an end, especially since it is her
right?
Fourth. If a woman can live In the
same room, sit before the same fire, eat at
the same table, and lay her head on the
same pillow with a man for three hundred
aud sixty-6ve days in the year, without
becoming degraded, may she not, one day
of the three hundred and sixty FIVE, &C

Women associate with men at almost

She is quietly sitting beside me,
Gazing, with eager eyes,
Up at the crimson ciUud-isles
Sailing the western skies,-
Singing a passionate ballad
Like the morning lark that flew
First from the bower Of Eden,
To soar in the upper bl ueI
81 Softly the odOrous sOuth-wlnd
PLAYS with her siiken eurls,
While the blOod-red scroll Of the 50 nset
Far in the west unfurls,
And our happy hearts are throbbing
In time with the swelling tuae
Which the thousand voices Of nature raise,
An anthem to queenly- June.
Youth, and hope, and beauty,
Heavens of golden light,
Passion-fower and crimson ros es
GLOW in our hearts tonight.
Bloss Oms of gorgeous summer,
Radiantly unfold!
Bloom, o ether islands,
Gemming the skies of go Id
Birdlings, pour your music
Forth on the evening breeze.
Blow from your EdeR-va lleys,-
Breath of the Southern seael
For the life streams, flowing lonely,
Have blended in one to day,
And hand in hand together
Well tread life's Frightening way.
Night, and hate, and anguish
Shall lurk in our pIth hO more
Through all the flower -strown vistSs
Opening on before!
Hal has the vision vanished2
Slowly-with numbing pain
The ioyless forms of the real life
Flock to their place again.
Fifty years, on a lonely road,
Weary and faint I've trod;
Fifty years has that bright young head
Mouldered under the sod.
A palsied, passiOnless, weak old man,
a helpless crouehing form.
I sit and list to the bowling
Of the pitiless wintry storml
Yet sometimes, into my spirit.
Come througing the visions blest5
Again those golden tresses
Are drifting across my breast;
Again we sit together
Watching the radiant glow
Which the smiling skies shed round Us
In that heaven of the Long Ago.
And over the river of night and death
Bright Vistas stretch away
To the heaven of endless love and youth

Ma. BEEcHER NEVER ABLE TO Smoke
WHOLE CIsAR.-Here let me say a
word in respect to Tobacco. I do not pro-
pose to Join myself to those who make q
general, sweeping, and declamatory
attack upon it. I do not propose to go so
far as to say that those who are addicted
to its use ought absolutely and utterly to
break of the habit. But l may implore
those who have not yet become addicted
TO this haiti TO stop and ask themselves,
in the spirit Of all manliness, what good
end is TO be subserVed by their addiction
to so expensive 8 habit, through
it may be agreeable to all about them.
What good end of life, or comfort is there
to psss through the nauseous stage of
probation through which every man must
pass who acquires its use. So almost
universal is the us of Tobacco, that it seems
to me that young man who does not use
it in any form has right to say. 81

Hooking County Democracy.
The Democracy Of Hook
ing county have everything
their own way. They both
marry and are given in mar
riage to the 'niggers' and
nobody says aught against
it. A short time ago a
dashing daughter Of a life
long Democrat felt desper-
ately in love with q negro
barber. So violent was her
passion for this fellow, that
she went to Logan with the
determination to become
his wife according to law
Her friends, s,ascertaining her
intentions, rallied to the
rescue, and, by the most
urgent appeals and entreat-
les, prevailed upon her to
leaver town and not ruin
herself by such a rash act.
It may be added that she
is one of those many Dem
ocratic damsels, who during
the last campaign were in
the habit of attending the
Democratic meetings, car
rying huge banners bearing
the significant words, Save
us from nigger husbands
Another instance. They
have a central committee in
Hooking. county, thorough
ly Democratic, of course,
and a member of that COM
mittee took it into his head
not long ago that he would
get married. He could not
find a white woman to suit
him, and so he united him
self to a widow lady of
whose color we will say no
thing, but whose parents
were mulattoes, and whose
first husband had rather a
dark complexion, wooley
hair, thick lips and long
heels. Surely Democracy
is a fine Circleville
Union.
