A OOWARDLY CRY.

Not all the subtleties of ethnologists
nor the dogmas of doctrinaires could
make the matter of mans descent, from
the cowardly progenitor who hid his
fault behind scantier fig-leaf than the
fig tree bears, when he declared, in the
presence of his accuser, "The woman
gave ME and / did eat" more certain.
Accuse the average man of any misde-
meanor, with abundant proof to back
the accusation, and he will never fail to
shelter his misdeeds behind a woman.
Such conduct reminds one forcibly of
the history of an ancient army that
went into battle with its gods and its
children in front, presuming that upon
them no gallant army would like to
open fight.
1t is related of certain Spanish king
that whenever any trouble arose he
asked, "WhO is she ?" holding that it
was impossible for any man to make a
fool of himself unless there were a
woman in the case, and he suggested by
this question to all men in difficulties
to get behind that screen, suggestion
they have been ever ready to accept.
Does a man commit dishonor, barter
power for gold, or sell his fair fame for
gain? Not voice is heard to declare
that he was tired of honest poverty with
its self-sacrificing labors, its struggles,
and its needs; that he preferred the COM
forts which wealth ensures, and took
risks to get them, because he preferred
them; that he loved his costly wines,
his fast horses, his full bank account.
No. But without dissent all will de-
clare that his wife's luxurious tastes de-
manded the elegant appointments Of
house and dress, and to crafty these he
fell. Always the vanity of the woman,
never the sin of the man. Neither,
amid all this gross injustice, do they
stop to consider that if woman has in
ordinate vanity aud love of display
that man is directly responsible for it,
That if she is possessed of pettiness that
it is because she is so heavily burdened
by intolerant custom that largeness o.
mind is unattainable to her. The mer
who tell women that they were created
for their especial admiration, and ther
proceed to bestow their time, their at
tention, their good behavior upon the
well-dressed women, and let the plainly
dressed and quiet woman, who is not 81
agreeable an object to the eye, nor 81
pleasant a stimulant to the senses, go t.
the wall, are directly responsible for tn,
love of dress that they then have th,
hardihood to condemn.
If woman but had her equal place be
side man in every department of life, W,
should hear no more of the cowardly
cry, when beset by misfortune or over
taken by the legitimate results o
wrong-doing, "The woman beguiled no.
and l did eat"

MAKING A CONTRACT UNDER
FALSE PRETENSES.

The following somewhat contradictory
paragraph contains some things that we
believe:
The woman that is a happy wife need not
long to be courted again. There is no need
she is won. Nor are many compliments neces-
sary. Mutual devotion is an ever appreciated
compliment. Yet, still, you who are married
do not quite forget those old days which drew
you to each other. BE lovers always. Many
people are; and those who love are safe. The
meeting and parting kiss, the kind look, the
appreciative word-never forget these. Never
let marriage degenerate into the common
place. SO surely as you do, worse viii follow;
for the husband and wife who have no tender
sentiment toward each other will become foes.
An implicit belief in the first two or
three sentences would insure the latter
clause of the last The idea that any
woman could be the "happy wife' of a
man who regards her as "won," and so
sees no "need of compliments" is alb
surd. If compliments, appreciation,
and expressions of tenderness from a
man she loves are necessary to the hap
piness of a young girl, in her fathers
house, where care and responsibility are
to her as strangers, and ill-health
dim, distant, and unreal, surely they
are doubly so to the wife and
mother to whom life's cares and
sufferings come so thickly as to "fret
wrinkles in her brow of youth" If
anything on earth will cause marriage
to degenerate into the common place, ,"
it is the lack of the courtesies that rem
dered the season of courtship pleasant.
A man who wins a woman's heart with
tender words and promises which he
fails to repeat and ratify in the future,
has obtained a wife under false pre-
lenses, which no amount of sophistry
can render honorable. Again, a woman
who takes care before marriage to have
always her hair smooth, her dress tidy,
and her eountenance wreathed in
smiles, cannot expect to retain the es-
TEEN which these and kindred graces
won, if, under cover of marriage, and
the idea (as we have often heard il vul-
carly expressed) that her "market is
made" she degenerates into slattern
or scold. She also has won a position
by fraud, which she holds, if at all, by
force of the marriage contract.
The whole story of many an unfortu-
nate and most miserable marriage is
told in the warning, "Never let mar
riage degenerate into the common
place." And we add again, so surely as
you do, you are living in a condition at.
tanned by false pretenses, which the law
alone makes permanent, and all the
courage of both parties renders barely
endurable.

AN ECHO FROM THE EAST.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
My mother, Mrs. Clemence S. Lozier,
NJ. D., of New York City, is a constant
and delighted reader of your fresh and
vigorous New NORTHWEST, and of
course an ardent advocate of its doc
trines. The paper of March 81, 1876,
contains an article commenting with
well-deserved severity upon a sermon
recently preached by celebrated Brook
lyn divine, and containing much whole
some instruction to such admirers of
Oriental usages and despotism as him
self. We think, or rather fear that the
lesson may be lost, and therefore ask
you whether you have favored him with
a copy of that date? If you have not
already done so, will you be kind
enough to send us one, and we will send
it to him through the mails. We are
personally unacquainted with the gen.
tleman, and we'll disposed toward him
for the good he has done in the great
"city of churches" and feel sure that
he represents large class of men in his
profession whose bigotry and narrow
ness are due to false education and a
singularly technical and absurd inter-
pretation of the Bible.
We would send our own copy of the
paper, but we think we cannot spare it,
and that perhaps you may find one upon
your files that you can dispatch as a
missionary to the Atlantic Coast.

We cannot afford to dispense with the

hence please find enclosed the amount
that will ensure the same for another
year. Among the six weeklies and one
daily that we take, we find none more
spicy and better conducted than is the
NEW NORTHWEST, and it ought to be
placed in every family.

A PROTEST.

A gentleman writing us from Port
Blakeley, states that the New NORTH
WEST containing our structures upon its
inhabitants has been very freely cireu-
lated among the denizens of the place.
While he takes US to task for publishing
the truth, he gives some excuses for the
conduct of the citizens toward US, which
we are willing they should have the
benefit of. He says they are compelled
to live isolated as they do, because the
mill company owns everything. The
wages of the men are not sufficient to
enable them to support themselves /;
hence, the cook-house" must feed
them. Two-thirds of the men have
'cloochmen," or Indian women, and
the head proprietor of the mills compels
every man in the company's employ to
buy provisions and clothing for the
''cloochmen" at the eompany's store.
The company have no use for the visits
of reputable women-do not want them
to visit Port Blakeley. Old Captain
Benton and his wife make bargains for
certain men to live with certain Indian
women, and sell them outfits for house
keeping from the store at fifty per cent.
premium. If a respectable lady were to
be allowed to lecture before such men,
they might reform, and then the mill
company would not employ them. The
legal wives (he scolds US roundly for
saying "concubines'' are as good women
as the average. They only need to min
gle with the outside world to get rid OF
the morbid suspicion of which they are
guilty. They are shy of strange ladies
because so unaecustomed to see COM
pany, etc., etc.-all of which only the
more assures us that our structures were
strictly true. If men will sell the birth
right of freedom for mess of saw-mill
pottage, they must not get over-angry
when women find fault with their wives
for becoming suspicious social mon
strosities.
