A LOnr JOurneY.

The Cleveland Herald, Of Friday,
says: a day or two since boy about
fourteen years old passed through this
city on his way to New York. who
had walked the distance from Omaha
to Columbus. His name was William
Peterson, and lie had accompanied his
parents to Kansas last fall. Soon ar
ter arriving there both his father and
mother were taken sick and died with.
in couple ot weeks Of each other.
Left alone among strangers, hc grew
honlesicE and determined to reach All
uncle in York State. Want Of means
compelled him to walk, and according
ly about the first Of last October. he
set out. lie says that the people along
the route were very kind to him, SO
that he never suffered for want Of food.
On arriving at Columbus bis case WAS
brought to the notice OF a. prominent
railroad man, and William was soon
after furnished with q pass to this city
and letter which readily secured hin,
q pass to Ills destination. The tramp,
for one SO young, was certainly u long
one, and exhibited al undauntcd spirit.

Sensible Talk about WOmAdS
| ..."' 'i",,''.: Wages. az

The following ~ from the Mk119!
Mirror, Mrs. Jane &. Swisshelm, asso-
ciate editor: ;l.. .. p
The husband and wife are equal part
ncrs. The husband Is outdoor head OF
the firm, and the wife indoor member.
Her work in the house Is Of ~ much
Importance to the welfare Of the family
Oh his work out OF doors. No family
can be well managed unless the wife
and mother faithfully performs her
part; aud if she does this, the husband
and iuther does no more for the ad-
vanccment and interests Of the family.
This being the case, she Is entitled to
onc.baIf Of the income, to one-hslf or
all that he and she accumulate. This
half should be hers IL she survive him,
and he should divide his half as he
plcases; or if he dies intcstate the law
should give it to his heirs. If he have
children, the widow should get mono
OF it; if he have no children, she might
be one of his heirs. II she dies before
him and have not disposed Of her half
by will, it should be secured TO her
heirs, and he should get none Of it H.
she have children. Ifnot, lie might be
one Of her heirs.
Repeal the slave code for wivcs-the
law which says, "All that she can &C.
quire by her labor, service or act, du.
ring covcrturc, belongs to her hu''
band" 49,. ..
This law was made for tho old Saxon
swinchcrds, in the days when Alfred
the Great was King. 1t gives the hus-
band exactly the same power over his
wise's earnings that the South Caro-
lima slave code gave to the master over
the earnings ofthe slave. Emancipate
wives, make them equal partners with
their husbands, and thus give them tho
same motives for industry aud econo.
my that arc given to men, and see II
you do not, with one stroke Of the pen,
dash out nine-tcnths Of the extraYa.
gauce and fashionable folly OF women,
multiply marriages four-fold, and get
rid of the talk shout woman's wages.
There is something wrong when wo-
man Is out in the world contending
with men for wages. She should lind
her reward in her own proper work,
keeping house and raising children ;
and when the masses Of women are
emancipatcd and paid for doing the
work that no man can do, the cxccp.
tions who teach school, sell dry goods
aud write for newspapers will find the
wages question very easily settled.

A poor old man was coming up tho

\ FOOLISH white girl ran away from:
her home. near Memphis, n few days

it was found that the appropriation

showed that soon after General Wash

construction of n vault under the Cap

his remains were to be deposited. y

and a superintendent WAS appointed

QUIET DAYS.


Tho dying year grows strange mild;
Now In the hazy autumn weather
My hearts, like happy child,
And life, and /, friends reconciled,
Go over the hills together.
The summer wood with music rings,
The singers is a troubled breast;
am no more the bird that sings,
But that which broods with folded wings
Upon It's squiet nest.
oh, fairest month Of all the year!
Oh, sweetest days in life! they meet:
Within; without, is autumn clear,
September there, September here,
SO tranquil and SO sweet.
Oft have watched all night with grief,
All night with joy, and which is best ?
All, both were sharp, and both were brief
My heart was like a wind-blown leaf,
1 give them both for rest
Fair Quiet, close is JOY allied,
But loving shadier walks to keep,
BY day is ever at my side;
And all night long with me abide
Peace and her sister Sleep.

Hard I'iDGS,

Hard times, money scarce,
low prices for the farmers pro-
ducts, high taxes, and plunder-
ing Of the Government by its
officials, are the issues of the
pending election. The people
begin to understand the cause
Of their misery. The leaders
of the Republican party can
no longer deceive the rank and
file of their organization. They
have complete control Of the
finances of the country. They
can make money plenty or they
can make it scarce. They have
been curtailing the circulation
of greenbacks until money is
harder to obtain than it was
before the war. This policy
has been forced upon the Ad-
ministration by the bondhold-
ers, who are determined to bring
the bonds to par, in order that
one dollar will purchase as much
labor or provisions as three dol
lars did during the war. Thus
the net income upon their
bonds can be tripled. Are the
people in favor Of this legisla-
ton for the exclusive interest
of the bondholder and banker
If they are not, they will vote
the Democratic ticket at the
coming election.
