cret dissatisfaction is ready to spring
up, go a step further and visit the
homes of the suffering poor; behold
dark. cherries apartments, insufficient
clothing, and absence of ali the COM
forts and refinement of social life, and
then return to your own with a joyful
spirit.
You will then be prepared to meet
your husband with grateful heart, and
be ready to appreciate the toll and self
denial which he has endured in the bu-
siness world to surround you with the
delights of home and you will be rea-
dy to cooperate cheerfully with him in
so arranging your expenses, that his
mind will not be constantly harrassed
with fears lest his family expenditure
may encroach upon public payments.
Be independent a young housekeeper
never needed greater moral courage
than she does now to resist the AFRO

Hos. GEo. II. PENDLEToN, Of Ohio,
and q number Of leading Democrats Of
New York, have united in recommend.
ing to the people Of Virginia, Missis-
sippi and Texas to refuse to participate
in the reconstruction election to be or
dcred by the President,
These scutlemon know full we'll that
if these States accept the situation,
thoir occupation, like Othclo's, will be
gone. Hence their opposition to the
settlement. The people ofthose States,
however, do not belong to Ohio and
New York politicians, they are too rich
in common sense to allow Such outside
influence to govern them in n matter
Of such vital importance to them. We
hope they will not only accept the con-
stitutional amendment but adopt il
with such n majority aswill show these
dcmagogucs and all others, that they
can't play upon the people Of the
South any longer.
