WOMEN AND NEWSPAPERS.-Jam
F. Babcock, ex-editor of the New Haven
Palladium, at an editorial convention
held at Middletown, Connecticut, on
the occasion of the centennial anniver-
sary of the newspaper in that State,
stated these facts: "From the time of
the first American newspaper, in 1904,
to the appearance of the first in Con-
necticut in l7SS, there were seventy
eight newspapers in the eOlonies-one-
half of which suspended before 1775. Of
the whole number printed, sixteen
were conducted by ladies, fourteen of
whom were the firm and undaunted
champions of liberty aud equal rights.
laws, newspapers, and almanacs, but of
calicOes and linens" The Boston Ne1US
Letter, the first newspaper in America,
was conducted during some parts of the
Revolutionary War by Mrs. Margaret
Draper. DR.. Warren, President of Bos-
ton University, says officially: "In no
department of the University has the
presence of young women depressed the
standard of scholarship; in several in
stances it has aided in elevatiDg it. In
the selection Of electives they have
never evinced a disposition to pass by
the hardest of mathematical branches
or the most difficult of the languages.
At all times has their influence been
promotive of order, studiousness, and a
true social culture. OF the six hundred
and twenty-seven students, one hundred
and forty-four are women"

WOMAN's WORK.

Darning little stockings
For restless little feet;
Washing little faces
To keep them clean and sweet:
Hearing Bible lessons;
Teaching catechism;
Praying for salvation
From heresy and chism-
Woman's work.
Sewing on the buttons;
Overseeing rations;
Soothing with a kind word
Others lamentations;
Guiding clumsy Bridgets
And coaxing sullen cooks;
Entertaining company,
And reading recent books
W0man's work.
Burying out of sight
Her own Unhealing smarts;
Letting in the sunshine
On other clouded hearts;
Binding up the wounded,
And healing of the sick;
Bravely marching onward,
Through dangers dark and thick
WOman's work.
Leading little children,
And blessing manhood's years;
Showing to the sinful
How Gods forgiveness cheers;
Scattering sweet roses
Along another's path;
Smiling by the wayside,
Content with what she hath
WOmaR's work.
Letting fall her own tears,
When only God can see;
Wiping off another's
With tender sympathy;
Learning by experience;
Teaching by example;
Yearning for the gateway,
Golden, pearly, ample
Woman's work.
Lastly cometh silence,
A day of deep repose-
Her locks smoothly braided,
Upon her breast rose;
Lashes resting gently
Upon the marble cheek:
A look Of blessed peace
Upon the forehead meek
Pale hands softly folded,
The kindly pulses still;
The lips know no smiling,
The noble heart no thrill;
Her couch needs no smoothing,
She craveth for no care;
Loves tenderest entreaty
Wakes no responses there.
Fresh grave in the valley
Tears, bitter sobs, regret;
One more solemn lesson
That life may not forget;
Face forever hidden,
Race forever run
Dust TO DUST" a voice saith,
And Woman'S work is done.

DR. Brennan CAN TELL THE PATIENTS
IL disease the moment he comes in contact
with them, no matter how complicated the
case may be. This accounts in part for his
wonderful success in the treatment Of chronic
and difficult diseases. His perfect knowledge
of Physiology and Phrenology and human
character, which he reads at glance, enables
him to understand the wants of each individ-
ual with whom he comes in contact, and his
perfect medical knowledge enables him to pre-
scribe the proper remedy with unerring GER
DIR. Brennan has travelled so much, and has
come in contact with so many people by means
of his lectures both in Europe and America,
that he has become perfect master in his line
of business. The laws of life and health and
the physical wants of men and women have
been his constant study. Few men in the pro-
fession have had his broad experience, and
fewer still possess his keen and liberal mind to
dive into the mysteries of human nature and
search out her individual wants. To attem pit
to treat diseases without being able to tell
what the matter is with the patient is like
looking into the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky
for the lost arts of Egypt.
Above all price of wealth,
The body's Jewel not for minds profane,
Or hands TO tamper with in practice vain,
Like to woman'S virtue is mans strength;
A heavenly gift within a holy shrine,
To be approached and touched with serious fear
By hands made pure and hearts of faith sincere,
Even as the priesthood of the ONE divine.
DR.. Brennan has astonished skeptics by his
wonderful power in reading disease and curing
the same after some of the best physicians had
| failed. timely call upon the DoctOrwiIl cost
you nothing, and may be the means of saving
| you weeks and months of pain and suffering, a
| broken down constitution, and an early grave.
| DR. Brennan has lectured to ladies for
| years, and thoroughly understands the delicate
and refined organization of woman, and how
| liable she is to suffering and disease, that man
| seems 10 know so little about. Thousands OF
ladies, young and old, who scarcely see well
day in the year, and thousands more who fill a
premature grave, might be made healthy and
| happy by calling in time on the Doctor.

Many who are weak and debilitated wait too
long and let their system break down before
seeking for relief Dr. Brenan never fails to re-
store youthful vigor and build up the body and
mind to its natural condition.
Everything strictly confidential and honOra-
BILE with the Doctor, and five minutes inter-
view will convince any intelligent person that

A DESERVED COMPLIMENT.

Last night at the close Of the regular monthly
meeting of that time-honored fire company
Mississippi Fire Company No. q at their g, ne
house on Magazine street, Mr.. Frederick Gamer
den, it's worthy president, was agreeably sur
prised on being presented, in the name Of the
company, with costly and elegant silver ice
pitcher and goblets.
The presentation speech was made by our
friend Toby Hart, vice president of No. q, in q
feeling address, inspired by the long association
of Mr.. Camerden with the company, and the val
liable ervices he mas rendered it and our gallant
Fire Department. Mr.. Camerden answered as
best he could under the circumstances, for it was
a real surprise, attended with no ostentation and
simply intended to commemorate the sixtieth
birthday of valued citizen and most energetic
merchant.
We shall ever hail such manifestations Of
esteem and appreciation, for they can only serve
to maintain the high opinion that has been
formed regarding the efficiency and trustworthi-
nees of the men who fight the fiery element with
a disinterest edness that challenges everybody's
admira ton.
