THE LADIES AND THE LIBRARY.

1t is very gratifying to find the noble, I'M
selfish effort making BY the ladies OF Mem
phis to secure the Nash Library to the city
is meeting with hearty sympathy and gener.
GUS cooperation. The Bar of Memphis,
although it is supporting library OF Its
own, has very efficiently aided the ladies in
their work by adding $500 TO their list OF
subscriptions, with assurances that there is
yet more 10 come. The act does honor to
profession that has ever been conspicuous for
its intelligence, and the intelligent are always
ardent friends to the spread of intelligence.
Will not the example Of the Bar stimulate
the medical fraternity 10 make a similar
educated men, and know the value of knowl-
edge. And who has more practical proofs of
the evils of ignorance than the physician?
Every day he sees suffering and disease and
death, through Ignorance, and through igno-
rance the laws of health habitually violated,
and through ignorance remedies rcsorted
to as really absurd to the intelligent mind as
those relied upon in the early days of charms
and philters. The clergy, too, must surely
be the friends of so good work. The au:
tnor Of our religion came to deliver the
world from the thraldem of ignorsce, for
ignorance has dimmed the history of the
Church with its gloomiest psges, and has
made Of superstition the greatest quencher
OF the rays from the true light that came
into the world. The clergy see what havoc
Al.
the physician sees what foe it is to the
physical welfare. Fortify the minds of our
young men and maidens with knowledge,
and the enemy Of souls, the emanation of
darkness, win find less ersy access to the
heart when wellstored mind stands sentry
over the emotions and brides the pa1sions.
Is not such cause as this effort to establish
the Nash Library one well worth their urg
ing upon the attention Of their congrega-
tions? In New Orleans the clerks are tall
ing of making each one a monthly
subscription to the fund for getting
up the approaching Cotton Exposition
there. With such an example, cannot
the clerks of Memphis give generous help
~ LAG pfOJcCl! 4nc
the mechanics of the city in their efforts, and
we believe they will find nowhere fuller
appreciation of the benefits to be derived
from library, and more hearty apprecia-
ton of the pleasant recourse it will be for
them in their unoccupied hours, or quicker
sense of the aid it will be to them in their
occupations. This generous effort OF the
ladies of the city should meet its staunchest
aid and encouragement from their sister
women. 1t was bold thing for the ladies
to take up project that the gentlemen had
abandoned as hopeless, and every woman in
Memphis ought 10 feel herself "bound TO see
them through" until their tolls are crowned
with success. Let every mother urge the SUBJ
jet on children and husband, and the girls
they can never be behind in such a cause,
such = sustaining of their sex. With their
smiles and sweetness, and gentle yet all
prevalent solicitations, what is there they
could not effect?
