principles of this great Republic; his
tory that must be read and re-read by
the unborn men and women that will
rise up and call US blessed because in
this day of universal opposition we
dared to do right in demanding justice
for our sex.
Away in the dim, distant future our
phophetic visions behold higher, no.
bier, stronger, and better type of wom-
anhood, standing on an even plane with
man in all the departments of human
labor and human power, which type
will be the outgrowth of the arduous Ia
bors of the women of to-day. Let us
hold every foot of ground secured, and
persistently push our plant into the
very citadel of error, and soon may the
walls of prejudice and injustice fall al

The Social Evil.

Ifto be fOrewarned is to be fOrearmed,
we have reason to be grateful to the
Grand Jury of the Court of General
Sessions of New York City, which has
made presentment in regard to houses
of prostitution in that city. They affirm
that the evil is "impossible to suppress,
but easy to regulate and circumscribe.
This Grand Jury state the case from
their point of view, and close as fol-
lows:
at seems wholly unwise to fOrego the
benefits that may be derived from such
system through a sentimental dread
of appearing to cOuntenance evil. This
inquest beg to submit to the court the
following resolutions"
ReSoIUed, That the Legislature of the
State of New York be earnestly request
ed to adopt as early as practicable some
system of laws calculated to confine
houses of prostitution in the large cities
of this State within certain specified
limits and to subject them at all times
to the careful and vigilant supervision
of the boards of health and police.
ResOIUed, That this court be respect
fully requested to forward copy of this
presentment to the Legislature as soon
as it shall be in session.
EDWARD VAN VOLKENBURGH
! F. II. CHAPIN, President.
Secretary.
! There is no sin that so debauches the
soul and ruins the body as this, which
the Grand Jury of New York proposes
to REGULATE and circumscribe." 'Such
a scheme for the practical perpetratiOn
and encouragement of social vice, for
! the enslavement of women, and for the
degradation of men," should arouse the
opposition of ali friends of virtue every
| where.
The plain language of this proposition
to every man is, "Here, where prostitu-
tiOn is legalized, you may sin with i'm
punity."
The peril by which hundreds of men
are deferred from practical sin is re-
moved, and temptation directly offered.
70 the women who share the guilt,
whose crime it is proposed to "regulate
and circumscribe," the plain language
of this proposition is, ''Hhe law will
shut you up for the use of men, who
may come to you reeking with disease,
and against whom you shall have no
protection. The hands of brutal men
shall search your body to see whether
it is safe. The law shall tax you for
these privileges. The tax shall be used
to cure you of disease which you will be
sure to contract, and you will be sent
back to contract it again, and so on till
you die. If anything is left of the taxes
you pay for such unspeakable degrada-
tion, it will furnish revenue to the
city"
This is very meager statement of
what legalized vice means.
Shame on the Grand Jury which pro-
posed it Let their names be published,
that women may flee from them.
There should he vigilance committees
appointed in every city to watch the
: firA signs of an attempt to regulate"
such a sin. Sin may be established and
guarded by human law, but a law be-
yOnd our manipulation holds penalty
for every sin, and no device of ours can
escape it.-W WOmdn's Journal.

After that the sea looked bluer and
colder than ever, and the solitary
woman lived a sort of hermit's life.
No CHEEKY voice of gossiping neighbor
lightened the dreary cabin, no children
prattled about her, and only Belle, the
bright, blithe-hearted lassie, seemed to
remember to cheer her with a letter
now and then. Belle was away now,
visiting some distant friends, but in
her kindly heart she kept a corner,
it seemed, for the poor old woman who
had saved her life.
Three years-four-passed away, and
daily of a summer evening you might
have seen the widow sitting in the
doorway, eager and hollow-eyed, look
ing out for some possible ship that
might be Toms. Tom was not a good
correspondent, but occasionally up at
the little post office a wandering epistle
waited her trembling hand. She was
growing very old and feeble now, but
Tom was getting up in the world; Tom
was first mate of his ship; Tom was
success; Tom was gentleman; and oh
above all things, Tom was coming
home
Not every one watches in vain,
though we may not always be looking in
the right direction. 1t was so with the
widow. AS she sat one day, with
straining eyes gazing on far-of, sun-lit
sails, and seeing how some of them
lowered nearer and nearer, and some,
alas took wing farther and farther
away, the doorway darkened suddenly,
and there came rushing upon her, as if
dropped from the clouds, plump,
dark-eyed, rosy-cheeked lady, who
flung herself into the arms of the
watcher with a cry of joy.
"Oh, mother ~ she exclaimed, half
sobbing, half laughing, "oh, mother
don't you know me? Why, Pm Toms
wife, and I've brought the captain with
me- ~
"Mother," said Captain Tom, that
night, you've seen better days, per-
| haps, but | never have.n
"For didn't I tell you," said Mrs.
Tom, archly, "that 1 was in love with
Tom? And father owns half his ship,
you know; so if Toms captain, Pm
second mate, you see. And we're going
to take you away to where we found
better days"

AN ENGAGING Observation-Disclosures
is to a man what beauty is to a woman.
1t creates an instantaneous impression
in his behalf, while the opposite quail
ity exercises as quick a prejudice
against him. The politician who has
this advantage easily distances all the
rival candidates, for every voter he
speaks with becomes instantly his
friend. Polished manners have often
made scoundrels successful, while the
best of men, by their hardness and
GOODNESS, have done themselves incalcu-
liable injury-the shell being so rough
that the world could not believe there
was a precious kernel within it. Had
Raleigh never flung down his coat in
the mud for the proud Elizabeth to
walk on, his career in life would
scarcely have been worth recording.
Scores of men have been successful in
life 10y pleasing manners alone. A
pleasing trait of character is well worth
cultivating, lads. Never forget the
value of true civility.

WINTER BUTTER.

WINTER bIlIEh
That most Of the butter made in
winter is very inferior article none
will deny. All the essentials of good
butter-havor, texture and color
are generally wanting. Is there any
necessity for this difference in quail
ty? We believe not. With the purer
atmosphere of winter and the more
concentrated food Of the cows, with
pure water abundant, the quality of
butter ought to be in no respect in
ferior to that made i'm the growing
season. To begin with the flavor OF
winter-ma butter. This is depend
ent upon the surroundings of the
cow in the stable. as we'll as those of
the milk after it is,drawn. 1t is a we'll
understood fact that milk is very
susceptible to surrounding odors.
For this reason milk drawn from
COWS reeking with filth, even If no
particles fall into the pail, will inev-
itably have bad flavor We say 1t
has "cowy" taste. 1t would be
nearer the truth to pronounce it a
flavor of the manure heap, which it
actually is. Let the stable be thor
oughly cleaned, and let the cows
have sufficient litter to keep them
clean. Clean, dry beds add greatly
to the comfort of the animal, and this
alone is sufficient'reason for supplying
it. for whatever adds to her comfort
helps to increase her flow OF milk.
Let milk be drawn quickly and taken
away from the stable Immediately.
Never wait to feed or card the COWS
while the milk stands within the
reach of possible faint from the bad
smells. You have now taken one
step safely; but there are at least a
dozen others quite as important.
Milk should never be kept in living
thousand smells and gases that arise
from such place would not only
ruin the flavor OF butter, but would
render it unfit for human food. 1t
must be placed in "a room absolutely
free from all possible odors. thor
oughly ventilated, and that can be
kept at an even temperature OF per-
haps not less than sixty degrees
Fahrenheit. Some recommend u
large coal stove, one that need not
often be replenished, as giving good
satisfaction in regulating the heat OF
the milk room. There must be no
smoke and no dust. Perfect cleanli
ness with every article used and in
every department of the work is alb
solutely necessary. Under these con-
ditions prime article of butter can
be made in January as well as June.
