W oman'S True Place

Women must make more of their
homes, and make them more TO those
who belong within them. In this day
OF outward excitement and many outer
attractions, the old and sacred integrity
of home is endangered. The homes Of
to-day are not as dear as those of a past
generation. Great change has come over
our people. ADJUSTMENTS multiply and
press. Young people have taken out
license against their parents Parents
are getting rather afraid of their boys
and girls. Home ism t the little nucleus
radiating JOY to each, each shedding
back Joy on it. 1t Is CONVENIENT place
to have, aud the father is the banker and
the mother Is the mistress of laundry
women and cooks; but the home Is gone
1T is only part Of the outer world
which you have rooted over aud lighted
fire in, y which you may make dark
with your frown or uncomfortable by your
whim. Once it was, what it must be
again, the hearts holy ofholies: once ne
man would deSecrate it by deserving it
once all good impulse sprung hence aud
all true character grew; once the hearth
at which father and mother sat was holy
and dear, aud il the generations are to
get back cid stability of character and
frmEess of principle, and the old, unde-
fled religion, 1t must be through these
| homes, OF which you, . women, are
prieSteSsas; it must be by your garn;sh-
ing them again with forgotten graces-
rewaking gone-out fires, ard sanctifying
anew tho only place in which a human
soul can be surely fitted for the work and
warfare Of life Heaven help Us, if thi,
descration of the home runs in another
generation.-J: r ": Hare,

THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN.
The rights of woman, whafare they'
The right to labor love and pray
The right to weep with those weep,
The right to wake when others sleep.
The right to dry the falling tear,
The right to queli the rising fear,
The right to smooth the brow of caro-
And whisper comfort in despair.
The right to watch the parting breath,
To soothe and cheer the bed OF death;
The right when earthly hopes all TAIL,
To point TO that within the vail.
The right the wanderer to reclaim
Ard 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 guido
In simple faith to Him who died
With earnest love and gentle Praiss
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 earth's toys
And wing its flight to 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 WE'LL
Thy silent influence none can tell.
If these are thine, why ask for more!
Thou hast enough to answer for,
Are these thy rights; Then murmur not
That woman's mission is thy lot;
Improve the talents God has given,
Iifes duty done, thy rest in heaven.

KosKoo.-This medicine is rapidly
gaining the confidence of thepeople, and
the numerous testimonials of its virtues,
given by practitioners of medicines,
leave no doubt that it is safe and re-
liable remedy for IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD,

mendation of Koskoo to the practitioners
Of medicine. This is, we believe, the first
instance where such medicines have been

ever, water enough for our Memphis

hardly necessary that they should go
down to the lower end of the sand-bar. "

DEAR Sir: My son, John Wesley, who
was named after some preacher OF that
name by his mother, an uncommon
strong Methodist is bent on seeking his
fortune away from home; and, l believe,
he thinks of going to Memphis. And as
editors are said to work for the good OF
the public without much reference to
pay, / thought probably you would take
some interest in John Wesley-provided
he falls under your eye. If you will do
SO promise TO return the favor when
ever in my power. John Wesley is a
promising boy, but he does not like the
corn6eld. He is unwilling to cheerfnlly
work for living after the manner OF his
father and mother, and other respectable
ancestors. 1t seems to be the hight Of
his ambition to get into store where he
can cultivate white hands and wear good
clothes, and keep his boots BACKED. If
he will 90 | shall direct him to call on
you, and / hope you will assist him
to get a situation in accordance
with his taste and ambition. l don't
know much about city ways myself, and
don't care if l never do. The rising
generation, however, are wiser than Solo
mon, and think they must study Latin
and wear kid gloves, to be genteel, what
ever that is. ] have heard that there is
az attractive place called the Varieties
in your city, where young men, and old
ones too, sometimes go in search OF the
spice of life. Keep John Wesley away
If YOU can, and / will subscribe for your
paper next year certain, or my wife will,

long while. | have no other news of i'm
portance to write this time. Crops are
rather promising in this neighborhood,
and the health of the country Is good.

The volume of currency in our lead

carry them through the dull season. The

little transporting in the way of stocks or

Regarding the prospects of the coming
crops in that vicinity, the Friar's Point

The late heavy rains in this vicinity
have set our crops wonderfully forward.
