At wedding In South Carolina last
month an incident occurred aptly illus
tratiDg social life In the United States.
The bridegroom. who belonged to the
/" first Southern families" took excep-
ton to the phraseology Of the ofliciat-
ing clergyman and remarked. "You
shouldn't say those uns whom the Lord
hath jined together, but them uns. y
The preacher, who prided himself upon
the " high-toned" quality Of his Ian
guage. quietly dropped his hand into
the pocket of his suTplicc and interpo.
lated "You jist paddle your own ca.
noe, young Teller, or your trouble'll be-
gin sumo enuff. I'm runnin' this tea
party, am-as said afore, my below
ed hearers those uns as the Lord"-
Just then the bridegroom made a mo-
ton toward his hip, but before he could
draw the minister fired from his pocket
and the young man fell dead at his feet.
Instantly the whole church was filled
with blazing pistols. In less than five
seconds the only person left alive was
the bride, who had ducked behind the
pulpit early in the action. The half
married female gazel musingly around
and remarked As she started for home.

WOMAN's INFLUENCE.

Young people are especially prone TO
indulge the very common iailacy that
it is the fault Of the wife IL any married
man goes to ruin. "If his wife had
done her duty, she might have saved
him." says the pert young Miss, whose
experience in managing men is
bounded 10y occasional petty quarrels
with her adorable Harry, who meekly
submits to a reign Of pink-and-white
tyranny during the days Of courtship,
knowing we'll that when marriage
comes, he can, under the law, regain
that supremacy which he only appar-
emily relinquishes till he has securely
Gagged his bird. 1t never seems to these
inexperienced yet officious wiseacres
that women, under the pains and cares
and indispositions Of maternity, need
cOaxing and petting far more frequently
than do their exacting lords. A mans
character is formed in the main before
he is married at all and, though the
wife may, through dint of much flattery
and indulgence, keep him in good hu-
NOR toward her personally, yet she does
not find it easy, or often possible, TO re-
strain his evil habits with regard TO
himself. Besides, a man with propeusI-
ties for evil grows tired OF the surround
ings of a home, be it ever so well or
dered. The meek, yielding, coaxing,
elinging wife may not steer a husband
safely over the breakers of his own folly
under any circumstances; but the de-
cided, capable, gentle, high minded
wife, If she possesses so much Of the
means Of living independently OF her
husbands chari:y-the support Of most
wives is nothing else-Rs will enable
her 10 assert her own selfhOod, may re.
strain dissipated husband quite as ef.
fectually as husbands now restrain theil
wives. Women are by nature no better
than men, and the only reason why the
former do not so often go astray as th,
latter, is, that the latter have the infiu
ence Of the money power, with which
to make custom and enforce it, and tn,
former have not.

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER II, 1879
END OF VOLUME VIII.

This issue closes Volume Eight Of the
NEW NORTHWEST. The question as TO
whether a journal In the interest Of Hu-
man Rights can be sustained 10 the Pa
cific Northwest is no longer a matter Of
speculation. The esrnestness, economy
and perseverance with which this jour
nal has been conducted has been met
with a fair need of encouragement.
And yet, the way is still difficult. Could
we promptly gather in the subscriptions
due from responsible patrons, we could
enlarge the paper. We had hoped to do
so with the beginning Of Volume Nine.
But the stringency Of the money mar
ket admonishes US to postpone the in
creased expenditure. 1t is a constant
struggle, in any country and under al
circumstances, TO maintain a reform
journal. Especially is this the eas'
when the journal is published in the in
terest Of a disfranchised class like the
women Of America. We ask the friends
Of Human Rights to remember this, anC
rally as never before to the support o
the NEW NORTHWEST, pledging then
that we shall never abate our watchful
ness in the cause Of universal equality
and shall ever struggle to clearly presen
the principles Of Human Freedom.
