Resoloed, That every young woman
should be trained to some busines by
which she can earn an independent live
lihood in case Of poverty.
Res0lced, That in addition to the varl-
Gus indoor employments, suitable for
women, there are other outdoor employ
ments especially favorable to health ana
equally suitable, such as raising fruits
and flowers, the cul ture OF silk and cot
ton. the raising of bees and the superin-
tendence of dairy farms and manufae-
lures. All of these offer avenues to
wealth and independence for women as
properly as men, and schools for impart-
ing to women the science and practice OF
these employments should be provided
and as literally endowed as are the agri-
cultural schools for men.
ReSolred, That organization Is most
powerful agency to secure these objects !;
and the American Woman's Educational
Association Is organization which aims
to secure to woman these advantages enu-
merated, that its managers have our con-
fidence and we Will co-opperate in its plan
as far as we have opportunity.
Resolre{, That the Protestant clergy
would greatly aid in these efforts by
preaching on the honor and duties of the
family state. In order to do this, we re-
quest their attention to work Just pub
lished by Miss Beecher and Mrs. Stowe,
entitled, "The American Woman's
Home" which largely discusses many i'm
portant topics of general subjects, while
the authors have devoted most of their pro-
fits from this work to promote the plans
of the American Woman's Educational
Association,
R~lrfd, That the editors of the reli-
gious and secular press will contribute
important aid to an effort they must all
approve by inserting these resolutions in
their columns

LETTER FROM REV. n. CYR.

Messrs Edjt0rs Last Saturday | re-
ceived call from a woman by the name
of Grote, who was begging "to support
her son in the New York Asylum for Idi-
OTIS" Having my doubts about her ve-
racity, wrote Immediately to the super
intendent, and got his answer last night
He writes:
"The Grote boy left this Asylum at my
request some two months ago, and is not
here now
"Mrs. Grote resides in st. Catharines,
Canada She travelled the country begging
for the support of this boy, and l pre-
sumo raised several hundred dollars
The woman is honest IN intention, but /
feared was unoonsciously deoeiving the
public. / received several letters from
various parts Of the country making in
uuiries about her. Some Of the money
she raised she sent to another son, who
was getting an education, to be returned
when she needed it for this boy. l
thought that the best way-ths boy not
being very promising subject for our
system of training-was to request his
removal, and did 90. His friends thought
him greatly improved, and have been

/ OLE BrLL AND THE PEACE JrEIIEE
AT the regular meeting Of the eKecn-
tive committee Of the Peaee Festival A.
sociation. held al the 81. James Hotel, ia
Boston. on Saturday evening. Mr.. NJ NJ.
Ballou offered the following vote. which
was passed unanimously -
| Jot,d. That recognizing the dis;in-
guisbed position Of Ole Bull a. one Of the
first opponents Of the divine art of music
a any lad. and also the noble rhilan-
thrOpy Of his character. we earnestly and
cordially invite him 10 join the mammoth
orchestra on the opening occasion of tle

who had just closed a brilliant concert.
performance at the Music Hall, fully real
izing the fitness and grandeur Of the
Peace Festival, received the proposition
and his brother artist with enthusiastic
interest, and responded in person by join
ing the executive conmitte at once. The
brief remarks which fell from his lips on
this occasion were characterized by the
most exquisite simplicity, and yet, like
himself. were full of grand and beautiful
thoughts.
He felt flattered and highly gratified by
the distinction conveyed in the invitation.
The purpose of this grand enterprise was
not new 10 him; he had watched ITS de-
yelopment from the inception. Ii was
fitting that music, the mediator between
our spiritual and material life, that sacred
agent. like all art, far mightier than the
artist-that angel OF prayer-it was fit
ting that peace in the land should be cele-
brated by and through this divine agent
After all the sacrifice of blood and treas
ure, broken bonds of nationality, and
broken hearts, how emipently proper it
seemed TO dispel all of these jarring ele-
ments by noble and purifying influence,
and, on this unexampled and splendid
scale, to rejoice in peace once more. 1T
thero was bridge between Us and all that
we looked forward to so hopefully in the
future life-between humanity and Heay-
en-that bridge was music.
Such grand and worthy purpose was
particularly appropriate TO Boston, as an
exposition Of art, both elevating and emo
bling. America was educating the
world, the eyes Of Europe were fixed
upon her, half in wonder, half in admira-
tion, and this new page in her story would
be historic. 1t was privilege and
pleasure for himself, an humble but de-
voted servant Of the art divine, TO be
called upon to join this great soul-anthem-
He accepted, therefore, with the most car
nest qualification and interst, the proposal
tendcrod TO him, and begged to say how
joyfully he should follow the baton and
the inspiration Of the genius who had
conceived, and 20 faithfully worked, to
this noble expression Of the
National Heart

An important bui DifficuI' Enter
prise.

SIN: VIII you allow me to say word
to your readers about a most important
work. to which they should not remain
strangers.
There are thousands of Protestants speak
ing only the French language French
men from France, French Canadians,
Swiss, Gelgians, &e.-who are spread all
over the Dominion OF Canada, but mostly
in the United States, and the majority of
whom do not know that there is a news
per published for their benefit. This
paper Is K'Amore, a large sheet published
weekly in Montreal, has for its object
the promotion of evangelical religion,
sound morality and useful knowledge. 1t
also includes general news.
The increasing French Protestant popu
lation will certainly affect the destinies of
Canada and the United States. Should
not every friend of his country be anx
ious that they be placed under good
moral and Christian influence And
who doubts, in these days, of the great
influence for good or evil-of the press !:
Some eighteen or twenty years ago, the
Rev. Mr.. Cyr began the publication of the
!Segaetr Canadien, which had the same
object in view as IAurOre, but after
twelve years of existence, having gone
through many pecuniary difficulties, and
the editor having spent good portion of
his personal property to carry it on, it
was finally given up.
Shortly after the Rev. Mr.. Williams
founded the Monitear. 1t passed through
the hands OF thTee different managers,
and after having existed four years, it
shared the same fate as the first, also on
account of the want of funds.
Now, Christian friends, I1urore
should nat share the same fate. Al it is
not money making enterprise-not a
cent of its income being taken for the edi
torship- every ono interested in the well
fare Of the French should help it on:
1st, BY seeking the French and Undue
ing thea to subscribe. t
2d, By paying fos the paper for the
poor families Of your locality that soald
not afford TO subscribe for, it. IA -. II ~
3rd, By sending. TO the editor any
amount to pay for persons that tell him.
ibis is not 3 rare case that they are very
fond of tho paper, but on account 81 BEL
ing poor, and of hard times they are
obliged to give it up for time.
4th, BY subscribing yourselves, IT you
or any of your family are studying or al
ready know French.

tion was thoroughly discussed, and final

The SOCIETY OF WoMES--One Of the
great benefits young man may derive
from woman's society is that he is bound
to be respectful 10 them. The habit IL Of
great good to your moral man, depend
upon it. Our education makes of US the
most eminently selfish men in the world.
We fight for ourselves; we push for our
selves; we cut the best slices out Of the
Joint at club dinners for ourselves: we
yawn for ourselves, and light our pipes,
and say we won't 20 out we prefer our
selves and our ease and the greatest
good that comes to a man from woman's
society Is that he has 10 think of somebody
beside himself, somebody TO whom he is
bound 10 be attentive and respectful
Certainly ! don't want my dear Bob TO
associate with those Of the other sex whom
he doesn't and can't respect; that is worse
than billiards: worse than tavern brandy
and water: worse than smoking selfish
ness at home. But vow ] would rather
see yon turning over the leaves Of Mise
Fiddlooomb's music book all night than
billiards, or smoking, or brandy and wa
ter, or all three 7hIolerg.

outside, which was begun six weeks be-
fore, and then finished. In it were an old
gentleman and his wife, two sons and
their wives and two babies, and an un-
married son and two daughters.
In this house l stopped all night, and
had good nights rest. 1t is ture we
were pretty thick, but the inmates seemed
as happy as majority of those who live
in palatial and sumptuously furnished
mansions. 1t was doubtless the hope of
the good time coming, when they were to
have things better, that augmented their
happiness.
In anticipation of the good time coming
and by way of remembrance of the old
Homestead they had left i'll Illinois, they
took along among-other things a yankee
clock and Monitor Organ made in
Chicago. With this the youngest daugh-
ter, barefooted as she was entertained us
in the morning with good music.

The French Election.

We have watched with a great deal of
interest and some anxiety the telegraphic
reports of the late election in France.
The general success of the opposition to
the government throughout the empire,
except in some. Of the precints i'll the
capital, is not, the cbulition of temporary
excitement, but is the result Of settled
and long nouri,hcd desire on the part OF
Tire French people TO be something more
than the subjects Of the man who betrayed
them into the indiscretion of olecting him
President OF the Republic that he might
vault into u throne and destroy the Re-
publican institution which bad been
pltntcd'in the blood of revolution
The first election held by the people
liter the coup d'etat of the little Napole-
on, took place in 1852, while the stupor
created by that achievement, still rested
ou the nation. The Liberal party, dis
hrrtcn.d At the treachery that had van
,-hrl all their dreams of self-government,
1t~tdncd almost entirely from any par
rripariou, and the Corps Legi-latif was
unanim.n- In lS1' the Republican ei-
smeut began to work, and five acn, i'm
turd with the spirit Of freedom, took
thcir seats in the Legislative chamber,
ana being men who had made themselves
ietdor- "t the party Of freedom. they
kept the extraordinarily before the ma
ton, Though thcy were 50 numerically
weak that they could accomplish no re-
-uit-.
