ASSOCIATION OF Old MAIDs.-Thc

recently and mustered cighty-six souls.
This society was all outgrowth Of the
hour, and was organized in 1862 by q
bcyy Of Young ladies whose brothers
and swccthcarts were fighting for thcir
country and left them without tbc rc-
sources or male escorts. except the lag
CARDS who remained at home. Un-
willing 10 accept the galantry of these
Young men, the young ladies prefer
rcd to depend upon themselves, and
formed the association mentioned.
Gut or revenge the gallants dubbed
these independent damscls "Old
Malds,D and they accepted the cogno-
men and made it their own. a humorous
constitution and bylaws were drafted
by Mrs: 9. e. Henry, then single
young lady, and one of the founders
OF inc institution. Man was declared
the common cncmy," and one of the
chief objects Of the society was con-
tinucd war against his advances. lie
was .roligiously excluded from all
meetings, and q special clause of tho
bylaws said that any member who
should marry should be fined one hun
ircd DlS copper cents and should be
branded with tar OH the solcs of her
icct' ."U. -. l." meaning cup and

OF woman'S nature will be appreciated
