ADDENDA.

DEAR HERALD In the last number Of
"Talks to the Little Folks" you made US say
in the concluding line, ''his first young sup
per-" when it should have been "his first
CORY supper" D- substituting "sory" for
"young" you give the phrase meaning, Of
which the use Of the other word deprivcs it.
But we too made mistake, which honesty
requires Us TO acknowledge, and justice to
correct. In speaking Of the mU>Quito VIC
used the masculine, instead of the feminine
personal pronoun. Bu. the latter is the gen.
dr. peculiarly appropriate in the present in
stance. lis ns2 Places the female in the
right relation, that which nature has as
Signcd her, the head Of tic tribe: 4 true am

holds the rciuS, or rather carries the surSI>
cal case, and p.rforr all The operations,
alone hayirc o5;aincl skill in the phlcbo-
tonic art T!c maG Is Very gentle in his
nature, quiet and submissive, as docile as
Mr. Caa;l;c ever wuS, after 4 curtain lecture
from his amiabie spouse; indeed, SO doclle
is he, never wounding by his tongue or his
teeth, that some might be graceless enough
to call him chen peckcd.' In fact, being
unprovided with the nccdful instruments, he
is wholly innocent Of any share in the cut
ting or hacking Of human or horse flesh.
Unable TO wage either offensive or defensive
warfare he i5 Of Course thoroughly ''anti-
bcllum," and if lie belonged to the human
racc, wou,I he liberal and active supporter
of the "Nryhhor." But poDr fellow, what a
time he must have among those singing and
sursca! wives, particularly if lie has 10 do
the housekeeping and nursing! What
DOOM! Whimsical, c.Irri,ouS, and tyrani-
cal, these beautiful queens Of song and sur>
gerry doubtless force mlny an unhappy citi-
zen to feel, if not to cNciaim,
~ am one,
Whom the hard blows and buffers Of woman
Have so incenSed, that | am reckless what
TO do 10 spite them.
O, would set my life on any chance,
To mend it, or he rid Oft.
That state Of society Ike this should be
savage, is tot Ut ri! surprising. And 70 pre-
c;Sely such Il condition wuIl1 human society
Dc reduced. il the LlOterS for woman rights,
as it is caiird, were TO succeed. Aud yet,
even bishops AMI statc-mcn advocate
scheme, which rc:?J"cs woman from her
present beautiful anl equal relation, the COM

sweetness, refinement, would become cX-
timer: gentle, loving natures, fragrant flow
erS, sladLcmng. refreshing, purifying, would
cease 10 cXhalc their perfume, ald earth
would be transformed into
''An unwccdcd Garden,
Going 10 seed; thugs rank and gross in na-
turc,
Possessing it wholly"
Life would lose all its brightness, for wo-
man, its brightest star, would cease to shine,
and all the radiance OF her love would van
ish, for she woald no longer be loving subs
jcc!, but
"a foul contcnding Rebel,
\ Sraccicas Traitor to her loving lord,
y froward, pceviSh sullcn, sour"
Let Mrs. Stanton and her class emulate
tho power which female m mosquitoes possess,
and 10 obtain it, surrender whaT>ocvcr things
are lovely. Or honest, or truc, or Of good re-
port, bur let orr Southern women he con-
tent, yea feel rich, in the possession Of 4 na-
turc
"Soft as the memory Of buried love;
Pure as the prayer which childhood watts
above"
And then her sway, though gentle as the
sweet influences Of the p.ciaIcS, and STINT
as the springing of flowers, will be strong as
The "blazing bands of Ori n" potent and
universal as the influence that regulates the
movements Of The 'chiming spheres
