The gardener then led me to q remote
corner of the garden, where grew a
stately, wide spreading tree, whose
thick evergreen foliage afforded cool
shade from the burning rays of the sun,
which had now reached the meridian,
and whose fair, fragrant flowers, un-
moved by the passing air, followed con-
stantly, with unbowed heads, the daily
revolution of the sun.
''The name of this tree" said the gar
dener, "is Justice. In regard to its So
eial standing with its neighbors, it is
not very popular. They take offence at
its plain, truthful sayings, and consider
it unrefined because destitute of that
prevarication which is considered so es-
sential to polite conversation. Thus
Justice often receives the Sights and
sneers Of the giddy throng, remaining
steadfast to principle and apparently
unmoved at beholding homage bestowed
upon others less worthy. Although
passed by UNDECIDED and neglected
throughout the long summer of peace
and prosperity, yet when the winds Of

revolution impends over the heads of its
inmates, then they appeal TO honesty

WHO GETS BREAKFAST ?

stoutly.

Trottie. 'What does your mamma do

CORRESPONDENCE.
SALEM, March %, 1872

This department of the NEW NORTH
WEST is to be a general vehicle for ex-
change of ideas concerning any and all
matters that may be legitimately dis
cussed in our columns. Finding it praeti-
cally impossible TO answer each cores
pondent by private letter, we adopt this
mode of communication to save our
friends the disappointment that would
otherwise accrue from our inability to an
swer their queries. We cordially invite
everybody that has a question to ask,
suggestion to make, or a scolding togive
to contribute to the Correspondents
Column.
NJ. \. s., Lafayette: With practice
and experience you will make good
writer. We give the two first stanzas
of your article on Woman's Emancipa-
ton, and hope to hear from you again.
"The winds are free, the waves are free,
And flowers and birds and bees;
And TO our ears there comes a chime
OF music from all these.
Then make all womankind as free,
And let there be no slaves;
Then there'll be smiles and harmony
And peace, and fewer graves"
1t does womanhood no good to talk
about appalling servitude," '1iving
death" "mercy Of the oppressOr," and
so on. Men really are no more to blame
than women for woman's present status.
The dawn of intellectual supremacy
is upon us, and our correspondent even
now can sever her "clanking chains OF
positive slavery" by resolute determina-
tion to work out for herself such destiny
as suits her. "Girls who have passed
the age when they are not able to plan
