The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1875-01-27

This beautiful poem was composed
years ago by Henry Stanton, Mays
Vile. Kentucky. Such gems of po-
etry are not often met with, written by
authors whose names are never known
in history.l
Il there no place on the face Of the earth
Where charity dwelleth, where virtue has
birth?
where bosoms In kindess and mercy will
hegve,
And the poor and the wretched shall ask
and receive?
Is there no place on earth where q knock
VIII bring kind angel to open the door,
Ahi search the wide world wherever you
There is no open door for the moneyless
man.
Go look in the hall where the chandelier
light
night;
Where the rich hanging velvet, in shadowy
fold.
Sweeps gracefully down, with its TRIM
mfngs OF gold,
And mirrors Of silver take up and renew
In long lighted vistas the 'wildering view:
Go there in your patches, and find il you
A welcoming smile for the money less man.
Go look In your church of the cloud-reach-
ing spire,
which gives back to the sun his same look
of fire,
Where the arches and columns are gorgeous
within,
And the walls seem as pure as a soul with
out sin;
Go down the long aisle-see the rich and
the great,
In the pomp and the pride Of their world
ly estate.
Walk down in your patches, and find II you
can,
Who opens q pew for a moneyless man.
Go look to your judges, in dark flowing
gown,
With the scales wherein law weigheth
quietly down;
Where he frowns ON the weak and smiles
on the strong,
And Furnishes right while he Justines wrong;
Where jurors their lips on the Bible have
laid,
To render a verdict they've already made;
Go there in the court room and find il you
can,
Any law for the case of . moneyless man.
Go look In the banks, where Mammon has
told
His hundreds and thousands of silver and
gold;
Where, safe from the hands Of the starving
and poor.
Lies pile upon pile of the glitterfng ore:
Walk up to the counter-ah, there you may
stay,
Till your limbs have grown old and your
hair turns gray,
And youth find at the bank not one of the
clan
with money to lend to moneyless man.
Then 60 to your hovel-no raven has fed
The wife who has suffered so long for her
bread,
Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the death
From the lips of the angel your poverty
lost
Then turn In your agony upward to God,
And bless while IL smites you, the chasten-
ing rod;
And you'll find at the end of your life's lit
tie span.
There's . welcome above for the moneyiess

A physician writes to the Milwau-

age, son of a prominent citizen, came
with his grandmother into our Office,
one. room of which was decorated
with series of anatomical plates rep
resenting the human BODY in all stages
of dissection. down to the bare bones.
The little fellow placed himself befors
them and commenced ! scrutinixine
examination of each. 1t must be said
that they were not very attractive. ex
cept to the anatomist. and the expires
sion OF the little fellow indicated that
they were rather repulsive to him. At
length, turning round. while pointing
to one of the most repulsive looking
plates, he said Grandma, is them

WEALTH AND WICKEDNESS.

A Prisoner Coming Out Of the Renl-
tensisry with Forty thousand
DSllars-How 1t all Happened-
Among the / LOO prisoners in the
penitentiary, says the Ohio State
Journal, there are a good many men
and women whose histories, if written,
would make interesting reading. A
good many of these men of stripes
have records that are quite romantic
and interesting. Lewis Brandt is one
of these. When a young man he left
his home in Germany and started for
this country. On leaving, his father
gave him $50, 900 to start life on. He
came to this country, and being of a
rather profigate disposition, he trav-
eled about and soon went through his
fortune. After running out of money
he was compelled to work, and got the
position of night clerk at the Ameyi-
can. While there he forged n check
for $42, was arrested, tried. convicted, i,
and sent to the penitentiary for short
term. After getting out he rambled
about while, aud soon learned that
his father had died and left him $50, :
600. This he received. and was fast
making way with it, when he turned
up again as forger-this time in
ClevelaEd-and was sent to the penl-
tentiary for term of five years, which
will terminate in about two months.
AT the time that he came last to the
prison he owned about $4,000 worth
of stocks and bonds in New York. OF
which he is still the rossessor, and
from them draws an annual income.
A good many years ago he endorsed
for q friend in Germany. and lost
$4,000 by the operation, but he re-
ceived letter few weeks ago from
that friend. who is now
WEALTHY MERCHANT
in Philadelphia, stating that if he
would send In his account the money
would be paid up, and the arrange
ments are now being made so that
when he gets out of prison he will get
the $4,000. A few weeks ago he re-
ceived letter from his mother. In
which was enclosed list of his share
of the household effects, his mother
having broken up housekeeping and
divided the goods. 1t was a long list
of fine watches. iewelrv and other val
value. These will be sent to him in

Brandt has an excellent education.
He speaks German, French, Spanish,
and English, is somewhat proficient
in Latin, and has considerable ac-
quaintance with seven other languages.
His conversation is learned and pro
found. He at one time delivered a
speech before an audience in Cleye-
land in Latin. which is said to have
been an excellent production He is
very generous in his nature, giving
away money to almost any one who
asks for it. The warden has had in
his care several hundred dollars of
Brandt's money. and out of this fund
Brandt has made handsome donations
to several discharged prisoners. He
frequently receives letters from friends
in other cities, asking for aid, and
they never fail to get it. He aeknowl-
edges his folly in the way Of forgery.
and he intends when he gets out to
He is about 45 years of age,
and has never been married.

There are fields of labor in which
women have been immemorially ac-
tive. In all matters relating TO the
cares of the house and children among
the civilized. and among the barbar-
Qua and the lowest strata of life in
Europe and elsewhere, feld labor, the
care Of animals, and the lighter manu-.
factures, are the tasks imposed upon
women. Deduct from this the CON-
paratively small number of women of
fashion whose existence Is merged in
to the decorative part of social life,
and We have here roughly grouped the
lines which have defined the useful
ness OF women, and which have lain
parallel for ages. In the midst of this
toiling mass Of humanity phenomena
women have appeared-women who
have thrown down the lines of pre-
judice, and created for themselves
places among the most celebrated of
the other sex Those who have thus
elevated themselves above the mass
have demonstrated the capacity OF
women not only for the highest cul-
ture, but also their ability to equal
men in the use of faculties which are
their most distinguished attributes.
For q generation or more the ques-
ton of woman's entry into employ
ments deemed mans exclusive pro-
vince has attracted attention, aud
raised up for woman body OF nggres-
sive advocates of both sexes. who, by
their demands. have provoked some
harsh criticism from those who are in
no sense the enemies of the intellec-
tual and worldly advancement of wo-
men. Woman is now submitting her
fitness to find employment in the
learned professions and skilled labor
to the rigid test of actual trial. Will
she succeed, or will those Of her sex
who achieve success in these fields OF
labor. be the exception, rather than
the rule, in the future, as the past
In order to answer this question, it is
my purpose to study woman in this
relation, as a eyn@cologist. leaving
out of consideration the social aspects
of the case. Ono who has devoted
years to the study of women and their
diseases, has right to be heard upon
this vital question l do SO the more
readily because know of nogynecol-
ogist who has devoted his special
learning to the study of woman's re
lation to man s work MS a means of
subsistence and of usefulness. For
our purpose, therefore, woman must
be scientifically investigated as
means to the accomplishment OF cer-
tain ends. She must be studied rath-
er in her physical and mental fitness,
than in relation to society in her new
position This latter part OF the sub
iect belongs to the sociologist.-Dr.

Legislature April 18th, 1871. and be-
came operative on the first Monday of

learn of single instance of its en-

not ready for it, and it it stands

A disposition on the part of school
officers to ignore the law everywhere
prevails, and this statement is most
fully confirmed by the testimony of
the county superintendents of schools
throughout the State.
II is true that there has been q
gradual increase in the percentage Of
attendance, as reported, since the en-
forcement OF the compulsory law;
whether this should be attributed
more to the existence of the law than
to the healthy work ~ done by the

The following from the Sullivan

city:
What mania certain of our citi-
xens have for going down town at
night, and yet mot attending to any
particular business. Most OF those
who are afflicted with this propensity
actually waste the only period uf leis-
ure allotted to them between the close
Of the days labor and he'd time. They
read no books, and getting out of doors
before the supper table 10 cleared
away aud the house tdied up, they
have no social intercourse with their
wives and children. We will not
dwell on this waste of time and per-
version Of life. It only needs to be
noted to be deprecated. Surprise
your family by spending one or two
evenings with them. aud in turn you
will be surprised that you ever devo-
ted the evening in such an aimless

We fully appreciate the power for
good of the Church of America. To
its credit be it said, it is generally in
the fore front of every battle for a
more ample recognition OF the doc
trine of human rights But during
all these weary months, while oppres-
sion and murder have done their
bloody work in the South. the Church
has, as a rule. maintained an attitude
of studied indifference. We have ap-
pealed in vain to the clergy to sound
the note of alarm, to place the seal of
priestly condemnation upon the horri-
BILE atrocities committed by Southern
whites upon Southern blacks. That
the clergy should inveigh against every
class OF crime, leaving out only the
crime of all crimex-the Wholesale
murder of one class of citizens by an
other class of cit;xeDs-seemed a
monstrous absurdity. We rejoice
that the spell is broken. From Bos-

employed, might be either the Principal of

connected with the schools, who had other
