HARoLEEN HAROLD, EDITOR.

Dear Esteele:-Is incerely thank
you for your kind and encouraging
words to me in my new sphere they
drop into my heart like strength
ening cordial, renewing my deter
mination to do and dare, while they
whisper the sympathy of at least one
true friend. shall ever remember
with pride and gratitude, that the
gifted Esteele Vehse was first TO
recognize any merit in my poor
efforts as an editor.
feel that the aid / can give you,
in the cause you have so nobly es-
pOused, is of but small import com
pared with the eloquent manner in
which you have presented it so
often; yet it shall never be said that
my pen was idle when duty and the
right made demands upon it. l do
not know what can be done for the
cause, unless the ladies will take it in
hands. Ihaye often known them to
succeed in such things after the
gentlemen had failed No one
knows better than a woman how to
get the last cent out of mans
pocket; and as that is where the
money will finally come from, they
had as well proceed at once to lay
plans to secure it. think it would
be a good idea for the ladies of the
town and county TO get up some en-
tertainments to raise the required
sum, and now that Christmas is APP
preaching and every one will be in
Il humor for amusements, 1 think
the plan would succeed admirably.
Many stray quarter or half dollar
can be obtained in this way that
could not be gotten otherwise. If
the ladies of the different churches
would appoint committee each of
two or three to confer together on
the subject, some conclusion might
soon be arrived at. Surely the
ladies Of Pulaski, who were noted
among the Southern Soldiers for
their patriotism, generosity and hos
pitality, will not sacrifice their name
for the paltry sum Of two hundred
II
dollars? am certain they will not
let such a blot rest on the fair name
of our little city, when they can so
easily prevent it. / trust we shall
have favorable report from them
at an early day.
In love and sympathy,
Nov. Is. II. H.

A hint to rich men sDaughters.-
The following good ideas are from
Harper's Bazaar, and we commend
them to the attention of all the
young ladies of our country:
"There are very few, comparative
ly, of the sweet girl graduates of this
year of grace, who ought not to be
earning a fixed income as their
brothers are doing. There is not
one of them to whom it is not a
plain duty to know how. The
daughters of rich men certainly have
a right to all the elegance and leis-
ure they can afford to pay for. But
in America the tenure of wealth is
so uncertain that tAeheiress of to-
day may be the stipendiary of to-
morrow. If she cannot produce,
but must remain a consumer only,
then she is guilty of a breach of that
unwritten compact with society, I'M
der whose conditions we all come to
birth, and whose violation is dishon-
orable. Besides, it is the daughters
of rich men who must encourage
the belief that the capacity to earn
is natural and dignified function
of women as of men. II was not
till Camilla, of Fifth Avenue, rich
enough to spoil velvet rope daily,
looped up her shining draperies
above the contamination octhe pave
ments, that Biddy of the Bowery, too
poor to spare the price of shilling
print a month, dared lift her drag
gled hens to an economical and
J clearly height. When the Camillas
put on the cashmere and serge cut,
with severe simplicity, then the
daughters of the bank tellers, the
insurance agent, the struggling law
yer, the small shopkeeper, the gen
teel, poverty pinched widow, cheer
fully substituted that wise fashion
for the sleazy silks and abundant
cheap trimmings they had cherished.
Thus rich girls must make work
fashionable if it is to be honored.
Were it understood that the daugh-
tiers of Dives had become accom-
plished milliners, or telegraphers,
or type settlers, or teachers, or book
keepes, or florists, and were proud
of their competency, then the
daughters of Lazarus would rush to
perfect themselves IN like attain
ments, and would exercise them to
their profit and pleasure. As it is,
it is not Incidence, it is not incapac-
ity, it is not carelessness of the
ceaseless toll of the overwurked
father and mother which keeps our
girls of gentecl families from openly
and gladly earning their own bread.
1t is the feeling that n working
woman loses caste. Out of this
false estimate of things grows not
osly that hollow life of shabby gen.
Utility which distorts the character
of all who lead it, but that habit of
mind which regards marriage as a
prudential arrangement, a bargain
which guarantees board and clothes
on the one side for an indefinite guild
pro quo on the other.

GrumbIers and the Press.

Every journalist must have felt
what the New York Herald express
es in this paragraph;
"The truth is that there is scarce
" a newspaper published from one
end OF the year to the other that
Will not, il critically considered,
give offense to somebody in the
community. The politician objects
to the way his speech is reported.
The buyers OF one set OF shares
is offended because the money col
umn reports another set as going
up or going down. Gentlemen who
find themselves in the hands Of the
press which reports their arraign-
ment and trial among the police pro-
ceedings. The sympathizer with
France is offended at letters
from Berlin, and the believer in
German unity mourns over dis
patches from Paris.
"The newspaper thus offends
some one, just as the weather-rainy
to-day and sunshiny tomorrow
to annoy somebody. The common
sense view is that the newspaper is
the history of yesterday written to-
day; that it is the mirror Of the
time, and those who conduct it care
nothing for individuals, except to
do them Justice"

Referring to the results of the
Mississippi election, the Cincinnati
Commercial says the CONSERVATIVES
now have control of the State. Ii
will be interesting to note what they
will do with it. 1t is in their power
to so conciliate the colored men by
fair and impartial legislation, as to
divide them, and put an end 20 the
division of political parties on the
line of race and color. The danger
is that they will not appreciate the
value of the opportunity.n

A lady will do many things which
gentleman could not bring himself
to do. There is no gentleman in
Springfield, for instance, who could
walk through Main street dragging
part of his raiment on the ground
after him. ANY gentleman would
consider himself defield by such a
performance. No gentleman would
care to parade the street in such al
tire that one hand was constantly
occupied in reefing the slack of his
breeches, after the manner of hold
up skirts at the present time
American gentlemen attach the
character of gambler on man who
wears many jewels and rings, and
recognize a cognate vulgarity in the
lady who similarly over pads her
self on occasions when personal
adornmtnt is not in keeping. What
we mean is that there is a mode sty
and sobriety of attire and even of
bearing among recognized gentle
men which the recognized lady has
not yet attained.-[ Springfield Rep.

Moody Is blowing the Gospel
trumpet with wonderful success in
Brooklyn. One clergyman report
ed that the influence of the rink

whole district of the city in which
he lived and nearly everybody was

that the tidal wave Of salvation will
even roll over Plymouth church and
up to the "Heights" where Beecher

Wise Sayings.-Anger dies soon
with a wise and good man. Too
much prosperity makes men fools.
Experience keeps a dear school, but
fools will learn in no other. Wealth
is not his who gets it. Employ
your time well, if you mean to gain
leisure. A man may have thou
sand acquaintance, and not one
friend among them. 1t is better to
live on a little, than to outlive a
great deal, By others faults wise
men correct their own. We should
take prudent Gaze for the future, but
so as to enjoy the present.
