Mn. EDifoR | notice IN your last -
sue a special request to the . dear eEea-
lures In s. AMI vicinity for contribu-
lions 10 your paper. Really, how sop-
planetary yoe are! You : take the Ved-
ding wAhg the, sauce" chs All, well,
thats sensible, Tn sure Ny word for it,
Uou'rs the "right man in the right place."
You know what's what. A newspaper
without a lady contributor Horrors T!
what q decidedly stiff stale, Ole-sided,
one-horse affair tis-n&t like o trse With
out verdure, a flower without perfume, a
hillside without daisies. The truth is,
they're the salt of the earth. tNo! l
mean the sugar,) Without themf
~Tlre earth a desert, the gardep Will, = &c.
But think of it the world at large and
mapsiRd generally like a piece of blank
paper, no: srsn ruled. What a deplora-
BILE state of affairs 'twsuld be-eh, Mr.
Rditori But, what do you think Of wO-
mans rights-more appropriately, may
be, woman's wrongs2 Pm in favor of the
move, only don't want suffrage. Dear
me, what a grand comedy 'Iwould be if
we could only vote! How spiteful we'd
get, how excited, how nervous; and, just
Imagine a woman here apd there carried
away from the polls, on election day, in
Mysteries for of course they would be.
They'd dispute, and say things, and get
to CRYING. I Know 'tis a way they have.
Of al the beautiful ordaiuings Of Divine
wisdom nothing seems to me more beauti-
full than the strong wall built about wOm-
an by the respect and reverence which
good men are constrained to feel for good
women. Even TIE advocates of the Anna
Dickinson and Cady Stanton school reap
Sue advantages Of this, upon the Irincll lie
that the sun shines alike upon the good
and the evil.
But, pshaw ! | didn't mean to deliver
you a homily upon this all Important sub
ject in fact, twas not my purpose to
mention it at all, but it has crOpt in as if
by accident. "Out of the fuluess Of the
heart the mouth speaketh much,' you
know. You'll "pardon the dear creature
for what she has said, women will talk OF
what runs in their head"
Now, though, to the point. You say
there are plenty Of ladies in this commu,
nifty who are capable of writing articles
for publication. | don't doubt it in the
least, and | really think they ought to dc
it. For my part Pm in favor of "Tht
Enterprise" and to all such | say q
mean those who, Nike your humble ser
want, are not famous writer's, but who are
struggling to mount the lower rounds Of
the ladder, and are gazing wistfully at the
glittering heights beyond), don't you sec
whas a pleasant compliment our dear I'm
terprise pays US! Think of it. Nice lit
tie corners and conspicuous middle col
umns he ofTers--in which to express ou1
ideas, if we have any or, if we hav'nI
ideas, language. Isn't that glorious
Come, young ladies, you've an Orportuni
by to make yourselves interestingly anna
bic and irresistibly spicy for the benefit o
enchanting masculines, who, of course
will fall in love with your nom de planes
Well and you, young %gentlNmeTs you
too, might lend your aid. Don't you Sc,
what u fine opportunity 'twovld be to dis
play your mental calibro to fascinating
young ladies', who'd, perhaps, dream o
you every night for a mouth to come oil
account of some charming article for tb,
Sweetwator Enterprise? Who knows
Let us see, then, whose name will be fir
upon the list Of contributors. /, for ole
shall feel undying reverence for tina
name, even though it should be-oh
