Unmarried Women.

EDITOR HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT:-I
was somewhat surprised 10 see in the
FREEMAN of June 9th the piece entitled
Unmarried Women" did not suppose
any one in this enlightened age would
dream of plying the unmarried portion
of our sex. If the writer will look about
her, think she will change her mind and
bestow all the sympathy she has TO spare
ON the married instead of the unmarried
women; they are more in need OF it. Let
her visit her married acquaintance, Gf
she is, rs | suspect, "a poor lone, lorn
creetur" IAN old maid) compare their lot
with her own, and then thank God that
she is an old maid.
| As rule our sex are not half faslidious
enough; they are much too ready to
accept a drunken brute or scamp in
preference to "single blessedness' and
independence. One has only to look over
heir own circle of acquaintances to be
convinced of that. Think of the nice girls
who have rnined their lives by injudicious
marriages! But l suppose the writer of
that piece would think even that preferable
to "Waiting for an impossible shadow and
hus letting the possible substance slip
through their fingers" but
Better to sing all alone and unfettered,
Than sigh DER life that might have been betered"
In these modern days no unmarried
lady need be dependent on her relatives
or friends for support, or marry for II
home, for there are plenty OF ways OF
getting living and being independent.
| 1t is better to be contented maid than II
discontinued matron.
Again. "There are pretty, accomplished
and sensible women waiting for husbands
and not getting them" The idea is
absurdl If they were sensible they would
turn their attention to something else
instead of waiting disconsolately for a
husband besides you know He who isn't
content with what he has wouldn't be
content with what he would like to have. '
There are many things in this beautiful
world of ours that are we'll worth living
for besides matrimony. Besides, sensible
women do not pass through life without
chances to marry though they may not
care to advertise the fact to their friends
and neiehbors. Some folks believe in
letting we'll enough alone"
In conclusion wilIsay that if the writer
thinks Gas she claims toy that love will
cover all defects and is in w nj of II hus.
band she can probably get one by applying
to the MatrimoniaL Times ! hope she
will write again. inclose IL Dem copied

In reply to Pansy's question, which she
50 emphatcally answers, we say; it must
depend largely whether the intended wife
chooses TO accept that condition in change
from her present one.
Now a-days women are not made wives
by force; indeed it is generally considered
that the matter rests entirely in their
hands, ard that they decd the question
which so bothered Hamlet, ITO be, or not
to be'-marricd. Nor is it common in
this thrifty age, we believe, for a woman
to consent to share a mans lot, except
that she pretty well understands the
extent and valuation of the lot So we
really cannot see how the matter is to he
very much controlled as society is now
constituted, and women must continue tc
accept CT reject ffcrs as their interest OF
inclination may prompt them.

THE HOLY CROSS.

REV. DIR. HERRoLD GIVES A HISTORY OF
THE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING.
Honor the Lord with thy substance and with
the first fruits of all thine increase, so shall tiny
barns be filed with plenty and thy presses burst
out with new wlno.-Irov. td, verses 9'lO.
The subject was interpreted as, first wor-
ship due to God with substance; second, as
an act of Precipitation and sacrifice; third, a
reactionary act, resulting in benediction and
recompense.
The origin of the feast was given rs from
prescription of Almighty God in Deut. xvi
the feast confounded with tho Jewish feast of
"Ingathering of Harvest. 1t did not originate
with Pilgrim Fathers, nor was 1t New Eng
lands invention, adopted by them as q social
thing, with much modification as to its re-
ligious character
1t has been greatly perverted by social
abuse to purely secular objects, viz, eating,
drinking, &c.
Tho true Thanksgiving" is eucharistic
Offering to God of sacrifice and oblations and
offerings. Thus only can we really honor
God with holy worship. And this worship,
offered at the place of His appointment, His
house, aud in His way, by rite and cere-
monial and with means of His prescription,
by the holy sacrifice of the altars, offerings,
aims, oblations. prayers, praises and self
conservation of time, substance, all things. to
Him. This of obligation, because of what
God has done for us, and because God will
reward us in abundant returns of temporal
and spiritual blessings.

purer Christianity to unto us into true
commonwealth.
Education was presented as q cornerstone
of the republic. The fathers, by abundant
personal testimony, declared ignorance the
foe and intelligence the essential life OF our
institutions. The ordnance that regulated
our northwest territory assigned liberal
quota of tho public lands to the service OF
popular education. To-day we are confronted
with fearful aud increasing illiteracy, aris-
ing from foreign immigration in the north
and the ravages of war in tho south,
with the sudden enfranchisement Of those
lately slaves. Tho first duty OF the
nation is TO educate all the chill
dren. Gen. Sherman said, "rhe hand
that lays down the bayonot must have the
ballot" Chief Justice Chase enunciated in
felicitous phrase the new policy of peace,
Universal amnesty and universal suffrage"
1t had been we'll IL tho other word had been
added - universal education. No subject
presses upon congress OF upon the country
more important than this one Of national aid
to secure education to every child of the re-
public.
The church needs spiritual renewal ol
practical religion. There are bright lights OF
hope and somo shadows as we'll in our relig'
ious horizon. The call of tho hour is for an
advance all along the limo in organizing here
and now the kingdom of God and preaching
the pure gospel of love to God and man.

sense up to the revolutionary war. Our peo-
pie were represented by Congregational,
Presbyterian, Episcopal, Baptist, German and
Dutch Reformed, fow Lutherans, few
Catholics, and Methodists. Tho early minis
tors trained the people in state affairs as in
church.
George Bancroft says, "rhe Pilgrims of
of Plymouth were Calvinists; tho best innu-
ence IN South Carolina came from the Calvin
lists of France; William Penn was the dis
ciple Of Huguonots; the ships from Holland,
which first brought colonists to Manhattan,
were filled with Calvinists. He that will not
honor the memory and respect the influence
of Calvin, knows but little of tho origin of
American liberty. He bequeathed to the
world pure reformation, q republican spirit
in religion, with tho kindred principles of
republican liberty"
Rousseau says of Calvin: "While the lovo
of country and liberty shall exist among us,
the memory of that great man shall not cease
to be blessed !"
Take him all in all--ip his character, his
! literary gift his organizing power, dignity OF
his motive, and the quality, and extent OF
it---he is the greatest Frenchnan.
Shall we not voice tho sentiment of every
intelligent American citizen when we say:

The theme was illustrated by facts drawn
from history of the discovery and settlement
Of the country, and the beginning, continuance,
and prosperity of the national history. OF
the settlement and discovery of the coun-
try reference is had to the coincidence of
events and men. First, was the dis
covery of printing and the mariners
COMPASS. Columbus, by making use
of tho mariners compass, was led into
strange lands. Luther. making use of the
discovery of printing, gave to the Germans
the Bible in their own language. If tho
reformation Of the sixteenth century had not
occurred the American independence would
not have been achieved.
Further illustrations on the theme were
given from the religious character of the
colonists and the adoption of the constitution
of the United States.

thank my God upon every remembrance of
you.-IhM ii3.
Gratitude is based upon memory. The
more active the mind tho more vivid the
thanksgiving. In personal history and in
national it is the same. Behind the phe-
nomena OF present aud past blessings
are ideas. Upon what principles have
we come to our present prosperity
By basis upon civilized religious liberty.
Whence came these? Permit mo to ask the
question which we shall discuss, Are we obli-
gated to thank God to-day for John Calvin. the
Genevese reformer, as in any wise helping us
secure them? Consider the attitude Of the
reformation when he reached Geneva. Con-
slider the man Calvin, his mental equipment,
as shown by his institutes, his works on
church and state, his conscience, his courage,
his peculiar ACHIEVEMENTS, doctrines, forma-
tion of church and state in accordance with
republican principles, his struggle with Ser
Vetus, whom he convicted justly according TO
the law Of the period. The sixteenth century
affixed the penalty Of burning-Calvin was
right in the prosecution, but he did the CEN
tury wrong and barbarous in the execution.
The fruits Of Calvinism were the Dutch re-
public, the French Huguenots, the English
Episcopal Presbyterian, and independent
churches. These we're the sources of our
national life. There was almost no religion
IN this country but Calyinism in broad
