 CITIZEN FAIRPLAY. Lakeville, Conn.,, March 20, 1877. A Word from Aunt ane.-M1sTER ED. TUR >
 I've read OCT all the little bits
 That's in the NEWS each week. Until I've so excited got,
 I'm most ateard to speak.
 Lest some of them ar sort O folks,
 The, what-you-call-their Should git me in the paper too.-
 To my perpetual shame.
 Now what can be the airthly use
 Of all this raisin' Cam
 Bout folks you never heard of fore,
 And maybe won't agair.
 Why. lawful sakes what do I care
 Ii Mrs. Brown, of Rome,
 Should visit at her cousin Jones',
 And stay till-she went home.
 Sposin' should go around
 A-findin' people out,
 And every thing seen or heerd,
 Tell all the world about.
 Is't my consarn If nabor Shultz
 Had visitors one day2
 A MT. Munson and his wife,
 From Lakeville, SO they say.
 Would anybody stop to hear,
 If should try to tell,
 How many mack'rel every week,
 Bunnell contrives to sell7
 Do you s'pose that Mrs. Hayes
 Would come up here and buy,
 If once she heerd what purity prints
 c. Barnes has, piled so high7
 What sort O difference would it make,
 If 1 should stop and count
 Der all the horses Lindsey shoes,
 And send you the amount?
 Now to, Miss Jessie Curtis s gone
 Way up to Pittsfield taoWn;
 If was gittin' up sich trash,
 'spose I'd put that daown.
 SpOSe q tell you all aDaOuC
 The claoudY days and clear;
 Seein' as how you couldn't guess,
 Within three miles of here.
 rayther think you'd soon git tired
 Of sich kind of diet,
 And wish I'd either move away,
 Or keep my pencil quiet.
 But lawful sakes I don't intend
 To cause you to complain;
 And so l guess I'll stop right here,-
 Your sarvent, Sir,
 AUNT JANE. Clayton, March l9, 1877.
 What Shall We Do ?-MR. EDITOR :- One cannot mlngle in society hereabout without noticing on all occasions tha there's a lack of mans attention, dearth of manly smiles" Yet in spite o general desolation, I have noticed tha the Broad-meadows and the Od-field have been cultivated with assiduity though the yield in matrimonial an noupcements has been meager consi der ing the labor bestowed. Now is all thi sweetness of feminality to be wasted ol the desert air? If not, where are the mel "worthy to gather, worthy to wear" o1 thelr manly bosoms. these far flowers CT they fade from 5heir stems. Are there n, which may be held forth t. bring men wanting wives, to thls tow where so many wait to be lovingly gar nered If not, cannot immigration t. some region where stalwart manllness less at premium where the Fields ar more new and the Meadows less broad, b. made the fashion of the periods Oh. ID, what IS to be done |? tn question is of serious import how shall i be met In many counsellors is wisdom Counsel ye the people
 OBSERVER. [The above vail from West Cornwall speaks for itself. The fair writer is ceI tainly not alone in her anxiety to knoy what is to be done" to make young mel more easily won, and should we venture hint of what is probably the chief caus of all this trouble. however carefully VI might word it, we fear we should brini down upon our editorial head an amount of female anathema painful to bear. Blu as this is "a world of trouble,n perhaps VI might as well assume the risk of invi ting to ourself seventy-fve cents or dollar sworth of misery by 'speakini right out in meeting," Tn this cause of fe male suffering, as to take our snare il some other way. A young man said il our hearing not long since that "Farme M, dresses Ann Eliza (his daughter) in silk that must have cost from sixty t. seventy five or eighty dQllars. Do yo1 these times, and to have so much of then dragged through all the filth of tn streets ' There's Belle -, might, pretty girl. but she wears more than tw' bushels of frllls and ruf1es about the bot tom of her dress. which is more by thre, peeks than l could pay for" Perhap these remarks don't hit the case at all don't mean anything, but we know tha we are right when we say that when"soci ety" rlses and asserts it's good sense, b5 and maintaining fashions that call for less extravagance in dress and brlug about an era that will permit { young man on salary to support wife land in style." without rob ping his employer to do it; then, anG not till then, will the "Oldfelds" and "Broadmeadows" alluded to in the Wes Cornwall communication above, ponder less upon the necessity of life of celibacy Girls, think of these things. Don't give aH your time and stren- -th to the study o1 the fashion plates ill the magazi-es. Dc know something else. .and thus make your selves valuable to the young men, and they will seek you for helpmeets indeed ED. NEWS.
