Woman Suffrage in observation-disclosures
\ ing Opinion OF Judge sharswood- Female.
Citizens Not Voters Under the Law ra &. %
20. In the Philadelphia Court of Nisi Prius-
Judge Sharswood delivered his opinion in
the suit of Mrs. Burnham against the cleo
ton officers of her precinct for refusing her
vote at the general election of last October.
The plaintiff claimed that she was duly
qualified in all respects according to the
constitution and laws of PENNSYLVANIA,
while the defence held that she was not a
freeman in the sense in which that word is
used in the constitution. Judge Shars-
wood ruled that while the provisions of the
ninth article of that instrument, commonly
called the Declaration of Rights, extend to
and include both sexes, and that when
the word man. or men" is therein
used they comprehend also women, and
while it is equally clear that woman who
is born in this country or naturalized, as
she may be under the acts of Congress, is
citizen, as fully entitled to the protection
of the government as a man, and with a
right fully to enjoy all the privileges which
properly belong to citizens, it does not fol-
low that the elective franchise is one of their
privileges. That is exclusively regulated
by the constitution, which has excluded
many citizens from it by reason of age,
non-payment of taxes, non-residence with
in the Commonwealth and the election dis
trict for certain period of time. Neither
had the amendments to the consti-
tuition of the United States any bear
ing on the question, since the right
of the plaintiff to vote was not denied

With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mourning rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.

The fires Of the last day will melt and con-

sion destroys the spiritual nature so much
as respectable selishness." s..-#
If we thoroughly examine we shall find

Fun should be cultivated as q fine art,
for it is altogether fine thing. Who ever
knew funny man to be bad one? On
the contrary, is he not, nine times out of
ten, generous, humane, social and good
To be sure he is. Fun---it is a great thing.
1t smoothes the rough places of life-makes
the disposition fresh and rosy as a maiden's
kiss--scatters sunshine and flowers wher-
ever it goes-gives the world round, Jolly

There have been souls dedicated to
heaven from childhood, and guarded by
good angels as sweet sechsions for holy
thoughts, and prayers, and all good pur-
poses and yet, in life's vicissitudes, by
the treachery of occasion, by the throng-
ing passions of the world, have become
soiled. They resemble those converts on
the river Rhine, which have been changed
to tayerns from whose chambers the pious
inmates have long departed, and in whose
cloisters the footsteps of travellers have
etfaced the images of buried saints, and
whose walls are written over with ribaldry
and the names OF strangers, and resound no
more with holy hymns, but with revelry and
loud oices.-Hprion.
We can't help wishing that people
might feel the same obligation to speak and
believe the good of the living that they do
of the dying. We are all dying for that
matter; and the heart that would soften
and be ashamed to spread shameful re-
port about man who was to die next
week, might it not be softened if it would re-
member that he is certain to die in the
course of few years? Say what you like
about him after he is dead. 1t will make
no difference to him then. But while he is
living, while he can be injured and wounded
byyour gossip or SANDER, surely it is worth
while to consider before you either say or
believe anything to his detriment. Iirg5
The folly of present religious teaching
is in endeayoring to inspire an unnatural
discomfort with time, and foolish longing
for eternity E; in calling on men to come out
from the world, thus creating division and
strife, when, if there is any goodness in
them, they ought to mingie in it the more !;
in substituting for the glorious principles of
divine truth and justice enunciated by
Christ mere worship of his person /; in
mistaking religious sympathy for solid
moral purpose, and in supposing that
church, creed and mawkish belief are of
more importance in the estimation of God
than good square manhood.-W d. Hoard.
