Says our correspondent:
Il was ashamed of OxRard's sermon,
and had to hang my head
You lie-you indecent hog" replies
Mrs. Vinegarjug. "You didn't hang your
hoggish head for shame-you were asleep,
and when you awoke you guessed at what
had been said"
Amiable, Christian lady, said ne =

in which he says: ~ do not at all desire
to be saved from Mrs. IS letter.

Plucky, game Oxnard, thought We
We are glad you have taste for that
style of literature. The company you
will be likely to keep hereafter will doubt
less give ample qualification to this ell

As matter of taste, however, We sub
nit the following, written in behalf of
Mr.. Oxnard, by lady who does not be-
lieve as "Fair Play" does; and think it
much more creditable to him, her and her
sex. We regret that We were obliged to
omit it last week; and have only to add
that we arc still in great perplexity to
know what the Rev. gentleman did preach:
Mr.. EDITOR Among so much discus
sion on the topic of the day, we were very
glad to read a good common sense" ar
ticle from the pen Of Miss Catherine
Bcechcr. Full of sound argument, plain,
pointed, and conclusive, yet admirably
exhibiting the refined, Christian lady
Such, we thought, should be the spirit Of
all who engage in this controversy.
Now We do not believe in Female
Suffrage" and, although we have read
many arguments from its talented advo-
Gates, yet we utterly fail to sec the road
to the balot-box made smooth, or its
crooked plths straight. The necessity of
female franchise, decided by large ma
jority Of our noble, far.seeing men, will
alone convince lis CT our fright" But
We have rights, cnn"bing, undisputed,
which, if not asserted, make us verify

by our living in it, taen, is life q failure.
There is no middle ground. We lcsc, or
win. If it is our mission to raise the fal-

frequent visits to the crcss that VIC are
taught best how to do it. 4 kind and

We were pai..cd TO see a short article
IN the items from johnson, in your last
paper, with regard to sermon preached
BY Rev. Mr. Oxnard, purporting by the
author, to be, on what he 1--WE cannot

. wimmin's rights" While we are sorry
1t this unfortunate stroke Of the pen, we
would throw over him the mantle of char
ty and venture the assertion that had that
sermon been preached six months ago, no
me would have thought it pointed even
o the rostrum, or bal!ot-box.
Far higher was his aim as the standard
If female excellence; and no wonder
that feeling their own weakness, and their
ack of power to break the bands-which t

hem) they sat with bowed heads. We {
10 say that none thought of our Pastors
with the movement" but we
toutly affirm thaG his discourse was not
IN that theme, and We are glad that the
manifests disapprobation at !
UGH attacks on the sacred desk, and the
leroy. We sincerely hope that the writ
r, in his future course, may exhibit more i
