"BURLEI6Hp writes from New York
to the Boston Journal: Leaning on
the granite pillar OF one of the hotels
yesterday, l saw a well-dressed young
man, not over thirty; he was very
drunk. His friends, some OF them
among our most respectable citizens,
were trying to induce him to go home
Not lost to all self-respect he said, Il
am druuk-I won't go home.' Two
months ago he was reputed to be rich.
His balance over in the bank WIS large.
He could any day draw his check for
tifty thousand dollars. One ofthe sud
den blows that upset the staunchest
craft struck him-he took to the bottle,
and his end is easily predicted. One
can count on his ton fingers the New
York business men who for thirty years
have had uninterrupted success. But
New York is full of wrecks of men
who, because they could NOT pay their
notes. have flung away character, talent
and all. In one otthe tenement houses
in this city dwells woman, one who,
since have been yonr correspondent,
WIS belle at Saratoga. Her story is
the old ons-business reverses-the bot
tle-poverty and woe. On the floor of
one of the most crowded tenement
houses, covered with rags, the husband
of this lady was found by noble heart
ed man who sought him out, to save
him il he can. And yet, u few years
ago, he was one of our brightest mer-
chants"

EUROPEAN CRoPs.-Mr. Orange Judd /,
of the American A0riculturfSt, writes
from Amsterdam discouragingly about
crops in Europe. He says:
This year was in Great Britain a
month and saw but two slight showers,
one of them in London. 1 was in Paris
twenty-one days; on the 10th of April
we had more or less rain, and l have
seen but one fair day since leaving
there, that is to say, it has rained at
least twenty-four days out of the last
twenty-six, and ] hear that it has rain
ed almost constantly in England dur
Ing the same time. In the ride OF Two
hundred miles from Paris to Brussels
saw fine crops, but most ofthe growing
grain was prostrated by the driving
storms,and the large amount of cut but
ungathered, bleached hay. showed how
severe and long-continued had been the
wet weather. The same state oil things
1 noticed all the way from Brussels to
this point. l judge from what have
seen and heard, that the damage TO the
present years harvest will prove very
great. 1t can hardly be otherwise than
that this great disaster to the crops in
Europe Will materially Increase the de-
mand for onr own breadstnffs, which

"How can you expect honesty at six
dollars a week ?" said Il clerk to his en-
ployer, recently, when detected in en-
bezzllng small sums from the till.
"And how" said we, scan you expect
virtue on five ?" as we read, immedi-
ately afterwards, of the sutferings OF
the needlewomen in this city, of the
small pittance they earned by their
labor, the contumely and fraud TO
which they are so often subjected, the
privations they must perforce endure.
The sewing woman who earns i've dol
lars week must be sktlliul with her
needle. The majority OF the class earn
much less. How, then, can they sup
ply themselves with the necessaries of
life when everything purchasable is
still maintained at war prices? And
if to hard-working woman's personal
wants we add the piteOus cry OF two or
three half-famIshed children for bread,
need we wonder that some OF them
stray from the paths of morality, that
some invite forgetfulness by excessive
drink, and some court the embrace OF
death in the nearest river or at the ad-
jacent druggistsH
When hungry woman toillng all
day and half the night for sum
scarcely sufficient TO pay for decent
meal, denied all enjoyment, ashamed OF
her poor garments and IaintinR for
want of rest, behOlds the more reckless
of her sex in the streets; when she sees
them Haunting their gay attire, lolling
in dashing phnetons beside devoted ad :
mirers, eating and drinking OF the best
theearth can aftord, aud laughing as If
ain ost Surieited with happiness, can
We not imagine the desperate struggle
between virtue and desire OF which her
bosom must be the scene? And is 1t a
marvel If desire, under such circum-
stances, should sometimes WIN the VIC
tory? 1t is next to miracle when it
does not. And yet this miracle is man
ifested in the thousands OF women
who, blest with good looks as we'll AS
good appetites, endowed with strong
passions as well US strong moral prin-
ciples, plod on their weary way of life,
turning deaf ear TO the thousand and
one temptations that clothe sin in robes
OF whiteness and promise weeks OF
comfort for moments of soul sacrifice.
How many men would resist snch at
tractive appeals if rendered morbid by
such disheHrLeninK surroundings Not
many, We trow; and yet these women
do it daily and nightly, and claim no
merit in consequence. a clever writer
once said, 1.-The woman who thinks, is
like the man who rOuges;" but could a
woman who does not think, and think
profoundly too, exercise so much and
such exalted self-heroism We leave
the question for the discussion of the

SPEAKING AT PALMYRA.

Mr.. EpIroR:-I was at Palmyra on Thurs
day the 9th inst, and heard the speeches of
Judge PETER and Mr.. Guy Wines.
The speaking commenced at IL o'clock, n.
Mr.. Wines led Off in speech of some thirty
or forty minutes, using not a word calcula-
ted to offend the most fastidious Conserva-
tive gentleman present. II is style was
agreeable and fully as convincing, think,
as the principles of the Radical party will
permit. At FIRST he seemed embarrassed,
but this soon wore off, and then his manner
and voice became agreeable; and had the
principles he advocated been acceptable to
his audience, he would have won laurels of
which man of his age might be proud.
Judge PETER then followed in one of the
best speeches have heard for long time.
His style was chaste and logical, with as
much ornament as truth ever needs to make
it successful. He INDUCED in some severe
tbrusts at the Radicals, but in language not
by any means calculated TO offend. He
propounded some questions to his young
competitor that think the most sdroit poll
tician of the party would not have been able
to answer. Yet Mr.. Wines did not seem to
COW down under the questioning, but shyed
It of, and gave usa sentence or two of decla-
nation instead of any answers.
The Judges speech, from beginning TO
end, was better suited to the occasion than
any have heard. His address 10 the col
ored part Of the audience was plain and
modest in style, though SO striking and logi-
cal that the most cultivated hearers could
not help but be pleased.
will not omit to compliment both gen
tlemen for the dignity and polileness, with
which they treated each other. There was
not a word of that rudeness and slang which
has become fashionable with public speakers
OF the present day.

A GAINESVILLE correspondent of the
Louisville Courier raises the question
as to whether, in the event of the
extension of the right of suffrage tc
the women of the South, Congress
would not enfranchise all the colored
women and disfranchise the bulk Of
the white. AS we read the opinion
of the Attorney General, few, if any
of the white females could be dis
franchised because none of them ever
took the oath of allegiance to the
United States prior to the war. Oh
course, no argument is worth astraw
that is based upon what Congress
may, or may not, do; but it is
grave question whether Congress
could enfranchise black women and
disfranchise the white, and still main
tain itself at the North. Already
the Radicals are losing ground rap.
idly, and when it is remembered that
thousands of the most influential Of
the party are fully committed to fe'
male suffrage, it is scarcely possible
that so gross an outrage would moi
split the party, as well as drive thou
sands into the ranks Of the opposi
ton. All this, however, is mere sup
position, and the point Of solicitude
with us, is not so much to sec women
vote, as to hurry Radicalism to that
point in its progress where it mus
break its own neck, or have it broken
by an indignant people.
But since the Courier endorses the
assumption and differences of its cor
respondent, we call its attention tc
the following extract from the Attor'
ney General opinion, which SHOWS
that Congress, under its own recon
struction enactment, can disfranchist
no Southern woman-unless she be-
long to the class of old women rep
resented by Brown and Patton:
Two elements must concur in order to dis
qualify person under these clauses; First
the Office and official oath to support thu
Constitution Of the United States; second
engaging. afterwards in rebellion. Boil
must EXIT to work disqualification, and mus
happen in the order Of time mentioned.
A person who has held an Office and taker
the oath to support the Federal Constitution
aud has not afterwards engaged in bellion
is not disqualified. So, too, person WIT
has engaged in rebellion, but has not there
tofore held an office and taken that oath, l
not disqualified.
