A Pittsburgh lady recently called
upon an old man who had just lost
his wife, with whom he had lived for
forty years. She found him sitting
with folded hands in his lonely room,
and while engaged in conversation
her eyes rested upon something
bright and soft which lay upon his
pillow. With a tremor in his voice
he said: "Ah, madame, it is only my
dear wife's wrappers. You may
think me childish, but at night 1 put
the sleeves around my neck, and it
comforts me-" Could human love

shadow of a doubt that he had pur-

ing his brief absence; for he had
not been seen about his business for
three DAYS afterward by anybody,
and he noticed that the boy seemed
uneasy and restless during his stay
there. He could not afford to loose
this money, and thought such young
rogues should be made an exam

WHO STOLE THE MONEY.

viction in criminal causes. 1 have
known several cases in which the
innocent have been grossly wronged
through this means; very plausible
instance, I remember, being in sub
STAGE as follows:
A pale, scared boy, some fourteen
years old, was brought into the Mn
nicipal Court, in a neighboring city,
one morning, evidently in great trib-
ulation, who was arraigned upon a
charge of theft in his employers
store.
"What's your name?" asked the
Judge quietly.

humbly.
"Where do you ivep,
"Down't North End, sir"
"Now, Mr.. Clerk, what is this
case?" said the Judge, with some
interest.
"The old story your Honor" re-
piled the Clerk, rather fsmiliarly.
"Thieving. He's stolen pocket
book, and won't give any account Of
it."

The child's employer took the
stand first, and stated the case. He
was a well-dressed man, but had hard
features, wordly-minded, selfish ap-
pearance-and thus testified:
"a stranger came into my store,
your Honor, to make a purchase.
He paid me thirty dollars, ordered
his goods sent home, and went out;
but returned IN a short time for his
pocket book, which he missed direct

the counter carelessly. The boy,

MANS RIGHTS.
BY MISS LYDIA wooDsoS.

GENTLEMEN:--In bringing this sub
ject before you, shall not ATTEMPT to
analyze or make any rational display, but
simply to mention Il few facts to substan-
tiate my argument.
WOman's rights have been the one ab-
sorbing theme, set forth by writer's and
lccturers,f for the last quarter of Il century ;
but mans rights, like the heroic men of
the revolution, haze seldom received even
IA passing thought You smile, perhaps
sncer, at the idea that mans rights need
vindicating. You think you stand on so
firm basis that you cannot be moved /;
but listen a moment and will show how
this basis is slowly but surely giving
way You say have we not always had
the right of government, socially and
politically. Perhaps in our own country
you have generally, in name but not in
reality. All sensible women have things
entirely their own way; by careful con-
cealmcnt of this fact and with all due def

spiders web to lead you. OF this you are
not sensible, but Where ignorance is
bliss 'twcre folly to be wise Eve did
not command Adam tn eat the apple, no
indeed he never would have consented 10
taste it with that kind of argument She
told him it was really very nice. that she
had tasted it, and he had bitter try very
small piece, and after all there must have
been some mistake about its being wrong
to eat it, that she should not enjoy it at
all unless her dear Adam participated /;
and thus succeeded in having her own
way. Have not all Ewes daughters been
equally successfuls Much has been done
towards forcing from you, those natural
rights, in which you have been endowed
with superior strength, and there VIII be
sad confusion in society If you do not
make an effert to maintain them. Nearly
all the institutions of learning are now
open to woman This is as it should be.
She is not your INFERIOR In lnteilectuai

carry off the laurels. She is fast learning

very elimination of events before the
war and in the week following the execu-
tion of John Brown IA speech was an
nounced in Philadelphia hpon the then
situation of the anti-slavery movement
The.friends of slavery instantly resolved
that it should not take place. They
playcarlcd the walls with virtual invita-
tioas to riot. They appealed in the pa
pers to the most infamed passions
Large numbers OF what were called res
pectable citizens waited upon the mayor
and told him that the hall would be de-
molished and the streets would run with
blood Il he did not stop the speech. But
the mayor-it was Alexander 5. Henry
replied thai although he deprecated the
speech as much rs any body, and wished
with all his heart that it might not be de-
liyered, vet that the right of the speaker
was a fundamental right of an American
citizen. and that he. the mayor, was Off
cially bound under his oath to protect
him to the last gasp, if it took all the
police and all the militia at his command
and that he should certainly do his duty
There was a tremendous riot; but the
mayor did his duty, and the rioters were
conquered.
1t is only necessary to compare this ac-
ton of Mayor Henry in Philadelphia,
twelve years ago, with that of Mayor
Hall on the llth of July in this year, to
see the difference betwceh magistrate
who masters the mob and one who is
mastered by it. The feebleness of the
note in which Mr.. Hall sought TO prevent
the Orange parade did not conceal his
evident consciousness of his dtty. lie
knew as well as any body precisely what
that was. and what the welfare of the
community demanded; but he had
neither the courage To DO his duty nor to
leave il undcne. Bnt even in this Tam
many ridden city the protest against the
base surrender of he rights of IA free peo-
pie to religious mob was so unanimous
and indignant that the Tammany Ring
was frightened. and the Governor was
called -, -. came in, to reverse the wholt
|. =. -ces..ing.
But the facts will not he forgotten. We
have constantly said that the character OF
| Democratic rule can best be studied in the
city of New York. and the events of the
recent Or,nge celebration illustrate il to
.hc whole country The most sacred
rights Of free assembly and OF religion:
liberty were yielded by the most repre-
sentative Democratic authority in the
country to the mere threat of religion:
riot and only when driven to it by II
overwhelming public Indignation did th'

has il always been with the Democratic

The Failure of the New York
Departure.

The new departure ofa political party
can hardly be called successful if the
whole party does not depart. \ 1cw de-
parture is otherwise were schism; and
such the movement of Mr.. Vallandigham
and his friends must now be considered.
Ii has divided the party instead OF uniting
il. II has been nowhere, not even In
OhiJ, where it was proposed, received
with unanlmity and enthusiasm, while it
has elected the most positive protests
from able leaders. At the Tammany per-
Torrance it was, indeed, urged by Mr..
John Quincy Adams, who is, however, a
chartered libcrtine in the party which he
recently Joined and he Is the SAME gay
Mentor who, in one of his many epistles
To the brethren, advised his new love. the
Democratic party, to begin by being dem
ocsa;lc, which was very ihich as If he had
advised the Nepcnset River TO flow the
other way. The Democratic party has
never been democratic 1t used to call
itself the poor mans party and the work
ing mans party when it had lis cruel heel
planted upon the hearts OK millions OF
poor working men, to whom it denied
even rightto their manhood and to COM
mon humanity And even now the at
tempt to.take new departure by assert
ing the rights Of men under the constitu-
ton has produced serious differences in
the parry.
The difficulty is one that We have more
than once venturcd to suggest. 4 party is
not measured by its professions merely.
but by the probabilities of its performance
arising from various considerations. If
i'm the midst of the war, if at Chicago in
1864, instead of crying out for Surrender
to the rebellion, the Democratic party
had pronounced for a vigorous prosecu-
tion of the war, the country or the Repub-
lican party would have replied: Very
we'll, fall in" But ii the Democratic
party had retorted that, having declared
for the war, it ought to have control of
the government, even Sherman and his
men lost in Georgia would have heard the
shout of derision that would have rung
through the loyal land. While the lead
ership and general composition ofa party
remain unchanged, the profession of a
different purpose is not persuasive. What
is the significance of advice to a party 10
begin by being democnticg Plainly ihat
it is not democratic now. And when a
new departure is demanded. what is it but a
confe ession that the old position is unten-
ablcy When, therefore, we push the in
quiry to the end, we find that those who
have always sustained slavery and all the
infamies that sprang from it, who wished
to retain in reconstruction as much of the
r6ot OF civil hate as possible, Who wished
70 forbid equal suffrage aud to pcrpetuate
class privilege, who confusedly and ag-
gressively asserted State sovereignty
against national supremacy, who palliat-
ed and justified the rebellion, and derided
and perplcxed the government or the
Union, have at last decided that they can
not recover power by scch cries and posi-
tions and hope TO sacs uire public conf
dence by departing from them.
Now as these are really the same peo-
pie, vith the same principles, they have
