on swimmingly and the arrangements
for 4 grand time are rapidly being
made. A large number of Fire COM

THE Fremont JOURNAL has an ae-
count Of how an innocent fellow was
swindled out of $500 on a train
near Clyde, the other day. This poor
fellow lent his money to a stranger,
who said he was going to Cleveland
where he said he would get a draft
cashed, and return the funds. 1t
is enough to say that-the sharper
was not to be found, and his victim

VELocIPEDE RAcE.-Quite a large
amount of small amusement was afford
ed crowd of idlers on Market street
Monday afternoon by Jack NOOnan
and his veloeipede. A small wager
was laid that Jack could not ride
from the Davis House to the wire
bridge in one minute, which he easi ly
won. Subsequently race was made
up between Jack aud George Brown,
the latter on foot The velocipedo
was so badly beaten as to cause many
of the spectators to doubt some of the
mile-in-three-minute stories told Of
the useless "critter."
We have come to the conclusion
that the velOcipede is of about as
much use for IOcomotion, as playing
chess is for physical exercise.

They are made old by ravages of passions and

they preserve their youth to the very last, SO
that the child shall die, as the scriptures say,

women who pride themselves on being eigh
teen or twenty. They carry all the charac-
tcristics of age about them, without even sus-
pecting that they are old women. Nay, they

merry with such mirth as malice can enjoy,
by sarcastic reflections upon the age Of 9TH

The Rights Of Woman.

The rights of woman, what are they!
Tho right to labor, love and pray; m
The right to weep..with those that weep, Is
The right to wake when others sleep.
The right to dry the falling Tear,
The right 10 quen the rising fear; e.,
The right to smoothe the brow of care,
And whisper comfort to despair.
The right to watch the parting breath.
To soothe and cheer the bed Of death; 4
The right, when earthly hopes all fail,
To point to that within the veil.
The right the wanderer to reclaim, .aa7
And win the lost from paths Of shame;
The right to comfort and to bless
The widow and the fatherless.
The right the little ones to guide
In simple faith to Him who died;
With earnest love and gentle praise
To bless and cheer their youthful days.
The right the intellect to train,
And guide the soul to noble aim;
Teach it to rise above earths toys,
And wing its fight for heavenly joys.
The right to live for those We love;
The right to die that love to prove,
The right to brighten earthly homes
With pleasant smiles and gentle tones
Are these thy rights? Then use them well ;
Thy silent influence none can tell,
If these are thine, why ask for mores
Thou hast enough to answer for.
