And in the old familiar chair,
Beside the hearth-fire's glow

All, often since the springs, beloved
Have bluomcd above your rest,
breathe the sweet old song that sings
Itself within my breast
AS children. in the checrless days
When winter darkly lowers,
ketrace the gardens sodden ways
And talk of last year S flowers

Amid the sunshine and the dew
Of youths enchanted land
II never seemed To YOU or me
That could sing or smile
If y"u We're living silently
Within Your .:racv the while.

That earth would have no more to give

Alas. the change thar time has wrought

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Anonymous, Portland: Contrary to
our usual custom, we notice you, be-
cause we want to reprimand you, and
do not know how to reach you except
by this method. The letter you find
iault with us for publishing was printed
0eT6dtiD, photography and emphasis,
and If your mind is so given TO prurient
thoughts that you are able to see double
e'"e'dres in our reply, we pity you. We
can see none, and have no respect for
the man who can. AS you are so obtuse
that you cannot tell our meaning of
that emphasized word iie, we will in
iorm you, sovereign citizen and a
voter, that it means .fdlsehood, and it
never entered our cranium to imagine
anything else. When you say you are
d subscriber, we simply say we do not
oeiieve you, for our subscribers seorn TO
sehd US anonymous letters. They are
100 hlgh-toned and well-bred for such
sneaking cowardiee. Evil be to him
who evil thinks.

WOODHULL AGAIN.

There's no use talking, Woodruff is
another Banquo, whose restless spirit
will not down at anybody's bidding. No
sooner was she out of prison than she
began preparations for public lecture
in Boston, and, engaging Music Hall,
advertised the same, but was compelled
TO abandon her project by the edicts OF
city magistrates. Now, we have no
more sympathy with her revolutionary
and dangerous idiosyncracies than any
one else, but we assure the press, the
public and the powers that be that there
is no better way possible to spread and
promulgate her doctrines than by at
tempting to gag or persecute her. The
woman has sufficient vim for a nation,
enough of energy for generation, and
plenty of cunning, depth, desperation
and wisdom for an army. She uses to
her personal advantage every effort to
suppress her, and the only course that
could be pursued to render her isms in
any degree harmless, is the course
which our benighted law-givers and
equally benighted press and society are
determined not TO take. Had it not
been for the eneomiums, and afterwards
the abuse Of the press, this woman would
have scarcely been heard of; but 50
anxious were our mans rights brethren
that the Woman Movement should not
prosper, that they proceeded TO advertise
Woodruff and her peculiar theories, in a
vain attempt to bring reproach upon
Woman Suffrage, and the result is that
she is the best advertised and most notori-
Gus specimen of humanity extant. And
now, to complete their work of mischief,
this same press and people, after the
monster has grown hydra-headed and
strong under their fostering notice, are
still further feeding her by imprison-
ment and persecution.
If you want any ism on earth to pros
per, persecute it and it will win. We
give these plain hints to teach our
brethren much needed knowledge. II
Woodruff is dangerous, let her alone.
Her depth and cunning are more than a
match for the whole of you. Don't try
to hoodwink the people into the idea OF
your superior chastity, oh, brethren, for
while you condemn her and her evil
deeds, you, by tacit consent, foster pub
lications and practices equally bad.
Certainly if those most interested make
no complaint and utter no denial of heI
terrible accusations, your Outcry and
sympathy are impertinent and ill-timed.
We cannot but admire the Woodhulps
pluck, however much we may deprecate
her ambition to excel as social scav-
enger. Give the very devil his due.

DAVIS VERSUS WOODHULL.

Last week we published an editorial
explaining that Paulina Wright Davis
had denied Woodhulps testimony rs far
as she was concerned, regarding the
Beecher scandal. This week we give
Mrs. Davis own words as follows: 'Tn
relation to the TiltOn VS.. Beecher affair,
l have only this to say: / was never on
any terms Of intimacy with the families
OF either party; and never visited at
Mr.. Tilton's but once in my life, and that
was ten years ago, in co Ompany with Mr.
and Mrs. johnson. a year or two ago /
called at Mr.. TiltOn's for some books
which had lent to Mr.. It. / then saw
Mrs. Tilton for ten or fifteen minutes.
have met Mrs. TiIton two or three
times at the houses of mutual friends;
but at no time has there ever been the
slightest approach to a confidential con-
yersation between us, nor have 1 ever
lnsinuated that there has been. If Mrs.
L. has ever in my presence spoke of Mr.
Beecher, it has been in terms of respect, +,
as man of honor and her pastor"

OUR SUSAN.

The Rochester Democrat and Chroni-
Gle contains an editorial exhortation TO
the thousands of women of the Nation
who believe in Miss Anthony's views OF
citizenship without reference to sex to
rally to the support of their leader, who
has placed herself within the very Jaws
OF the law that she might test the valid
ity of women's claim to the ballot. That
journal says that Miss Anthony is not
able to meet the expense of this Ma
tional defense unaided, neither is it lust
that she be left to do it; and we heartily
join in the appeal to Woman SufIragists
to send their champion, who languishes
in prison, whittier she has been thrown
because of her efforts in their behalf
such sums-whether large or smaIl-as
they can spare for her benefit. Such
remittances will be cheerfully received.

The trial is to take place in Albany at

readers with reliable news as fast we
get it. The telegraph cannot be de-

WYOMING.

y movement is on the tapis i'm official
circles TO Obliterate Wyoming ty allow
ing Colorado TO engulf her. Under or
dinary circumstances we should saw
this was none Of our business, but when
we consider the fact that in Wyoming
alone has the opportunity been given
for free and practical test of Woman
Suffrage, we feel that this engulfing
of that Terrritory's official. individual
ity into that of a sister Territory would
possibly circumscribe woman's political
privileges. Yet we think our brethren
would find it impossible to succeed in
depriving these newly enfranchised cit
zens political prerogative. They
would certainly have no Constitutional
grounds upon which to base such pro-
scription, and if they should undertake
such an unheard-of proceeding as an at
tempt TO destroy the vested rights of le-
gal voters, they would find, we think,
that they had reckoned without their
host. But we hope Wyoming, crown
jewel that she is, as she sits enthroned
amid the romantic wilds of her noun
tain Businesses, will not commit matri-
mony, or political suicide, until she has
shown thesworld the fullest strength of
her women's sovereign power. Let her
remain as she is, n bright example of
the wholesome workings of Human
Rights and equality before the law, un-
til the States, backed by law Of Con-
gress, shall see her grand example and
profit by il.

PASSING AWAY.


Napoleon Ill, son of Louis Bonaparte,
youngest brother of Napoleon /. and
Hortense, daughter of Josephine by her
first marriage, is dead. Like the First
Napoleon, he died i'm exile upon British
soil, and like him, his closing hours
were embittered by defeated hopes and
baffied ambition. One sadly pleasing
thought of retribution fits across our
brain as we almost exultantly reflect
upon the final triumph, through her
own house, of the discarded Empress,
Josephine. When the proud hero of
many conquests grew so mighty under
the guiding star of his devoted wife, to
whom he owed his almost all of achieve
ment and success; when ambition got
the better of his discretion and inn
aginary self-interest arose above duty;
when, flushed with victory and en-
trenched behind unexpected success, the
First Napoleon divorced his loyal and
beloved spouse, it seemed that Fate and
Fortune alike decreed his downfall and
eOnspired to avenge the discarded Jose
phine. And signally did they succeed.
The House of Hapsburg gave the great
Emperor an heir of ephemeral life and
feeble intellect, while to the banished
House of Braganza the real heir was
given. Josephine was well avenged by
the son of her daughter, whose life, 50
strikingly like that of his uncle, has left
to the world another scion of the race,
under whose sway distracted France
may yet be brought into subsection to
the rule of Napoleon ~.
History repeats itself, and the young
Prince Imperial, great-grandson of the
divorced Empress, may yet, through
revolution, wear the purple which was
jeopardized and lost by his more dis
tant relation in his mad ambition to
found an imperishable dynasty.

PROGRESS.

We call special attention TO "The
Same Old Story" in another column,
written by one Of Oregon's most infiu-
ential and honOred citizens. A half
dozen years ago such an article, instead
of bringing its author commentator for
superior judgment, would have invoked
the anathemas and alarm Of the entire
community. But common sense is
marching on. The public at large is
ready TO receive the truth and abide by
it. The case of Ellen Shadden is only
one of ten thousand, all proving clearly
that men, as a class, cannot be depended
upon to protect women, rs n class. BY
all means let us have the school Of in
structiou in the womanly art of self
defense recommended by our friend and
brother in the great cause Of Human
Rights.

takes us somewhat by surprise. Do not
remember having met you, but suppose
your description of person and property
is correct. We laid your letter before
our other half, who raised such decisive
objections to an affirmative answer
that, under the circumstances, we think
it best to decline the honor YOU have so
graciously rendered us. As to that
stuff and nonsense about 'undying af-
feetion"-bah! It's only little moon
shine which you have cultivated-an
abnormal growth with no heart in it.
Let it die. When we were young and
sentimental we believed in these things,
but experience has taught us their
value; not that We would underrate ro-
nance and sentiment-they'r splendid
food for young folks-but for men and
women verging upon forty, common
sense is far better.
Mollie a. H.: Glad you like the New
NORTHWEST. we agree with you that
it's very readable, though we are some
times sorely veXed because it falls 50
far short of our aspirations. We cannot
devote the time to it that we desire to
give, because our efforts to earn money
to keep it going are necessarily unre-
laXing. Can't you get us up a club

Mrs. L., Albany: Thank you for your
prompt attention to the matter. "H.

led by the lies of the NEW NORTHWEST

from that benighted region, which isn't
likely, as We learn that the people OF
that primitive locality yet vote for Gen
eral Jackson.
Mrs. l.. w, Sacramento: Your poem
will appear as soon as we can make
room. We have a surplus of poetry, but
are always glad of choice stanzas.
Many thanks for your letter and good

OUR MOTHERS GRAVE.

Can there be another spot on earth SC
hallowed to mortality rs the last rest
ing-place of n mother? How the heart
beats! How the cheek pales rs we re-
member the sacred bed of death, where
she passed from this weary earth into
the golden gates of life eternal; the
pleading request, Glove one another, my
dear children" the tender admonition,
"meet me in Heaven" How fleeting
time rolls backward, bringing vividly
to memory the anguish of heart we
orphaned little ones felt at that time.
AS all this flashes over us our tears flow
freely, and We kneel in prayer to the
Giver of all good. We rise strengthened
once more for the battle of life, and
seem to feel the near presence of our
heavenly mother. Perhaps unseen she
is watching over us, guarding our feet
in the path of love and truth. We
are always eognizant of the near ap-
proaeh of angels when we pay a visit TO
her grave. But this is only the worth
less casket that lies here. The spirit,
that jewel which the casket held, is not
dead; it has only been called to Heaven
to shine n bright star in the realm of
our Lord, and has been placed with
other shining jewels in our Saviour's
crown. Brightest, most dazzling of all, is
the spirit of a cherished mother.
