The GARDEN FOR WOMEN.
From the Rural New Yorksrl

lFrom the Rural New Yorksrl
There is nothing better for wives and
daughters, physically, than to have the
care of q garden q fower-pot, if nothing
more. What is pleasanter than to spend q
portion Of every passing day in working
among plants and watching the growth Of
shrubs, and trees, and plants, and to OBJ
serve the opening of flowers from day to
day, as the season advances? Then how
much it adds to the enjoyment to know
that your own hands have planted and
titled them, and have pruned and trained
them-this Is a pleasure that requires
neither great riches nor profound know.
ledge. The wife or daug liter who loves
home, and would seek ever TO make IL the
best place for husband and brother, is will.
ing to forego some gossiping morning calls
for the sake of having leisure for the Gull
tivation Of plants, shrubs and flowers.
The advantages which women personally
derive from stirring the soil and snufiing
the morning air, are freshness and beauty
of cheek and brightness of eye, cheerfui-
ness Of temper, vigor of mind, and purity
OF heart. Consequently she is more cheer
full and lovely as a daughter, more digni-
fed and womanly as a sister, and more at
tractive and contiding as O wife.

THE WAsHfSGToN GAZETTE which ia.

to-day" and asks, "if the Democrats
should nominate a man who has been a
pronounced Republican, whose personal
standing is unimpeachable, and whose
public uttcrances as to the negro element
in the South has been clear and distinc-
tive, but who no,c stands with the reform
men Of all partie, on the present issues,
would they not start of in the canvass

actly, and the only answer to its question

The detection of leading Republicans in

ident and his personal adherents. The

What they dread above all things is pre-
mature exposure Of their designs, least I'M
timely discovery should work defeat and
the coveted mine and spoils Of the party
patriot be lost in the ignominy Of the
| traitor. What they hope for Is that they
may find safety in some apparently spon-
taneous abandonment Of Grant as the
Philadelphia candidate, or shelter under
the bold utterances Of some recognized
giant of the party. The names Of few
Of them are known, and the information
that has come out is chiefly due to the
measures being taken In time to
cover and protect the many polit-
ical interests depending upon the
success or failure of Grant In these
preparations for safety the schemers have
been compelled, in degree, to be honest,
and all their caution has not sufiiced TO
keep their secrets from the man they are
plotting to defrsud of the nomination.
The argument they confdentially adduce
in support OF their unmistakable, though
disguised, treachery is that the party owes
nothing TO Grant but its salvation in 1868
that for such services as his name and
fame then rendered he has been amply
rewarded by four years Of power, which
he has used more as personal emolument
than for the good of the party, and tina,

bvS- 49,, Is q, 1910
DEAR POWELL; / wish could aid in
the dcussions Of your reform league at this
important moment. Old parties are break
ing TO pieces. New ones are to form on
some Of the issues you propose to discuss
Whether Grant or Greeley, or whoever
else is elected, this is the last time the re-.
publican and democratic parties, as such
will take part IN presiden.
tial canvass. Whichever party succeeds,
both die in the effort. Whether the Gin.
cinnati convention fails or triumphs at
the ballot box one thing it has done-it
has scattered forever the republican and
democratic parties; killed both.
The presidential canvass Of 1872 will
turn on new questions. I think on the
relations of capital and labor; the condi-
ton of the working classes--the injustice
done them by law, finance, privileged cor.
porations, and trade--an injustice which
is the root Of poverty, prostitution, intern.
perance and crime.
May your discussions ripen public opin-
ion for this new crusade. Yours heartily,
WENDELL PHILLIPS.
