Mr.. EDITOR. Much has been written
regarding proper employment for women.
Silk culture, poultry raising and many other
things have been well ventilated; the result
has no doubt been very successful. But
there are many other ladies who cannot raise
silk worms or follow employment of that
kind. To that class / wish TO introduce
what to me was an entirely new field. Some
N. Y, was visiting at our house, and we were
speaking of plated wire in the manufacture
of which he is engaged, and TO crafty my
curiosity he made a plating machine and
replated our knives spoons and castor. The
machine cost only o., and did the work per-
fectly. Some Of our neighbors saw what
we had plated and asked me TO do some
plating for them, I have since worked p
days and cleared $40 As. At almost every
house we got from 81 10 50 worth Of plating
to do aud such work is most all profit This
work is As nice for ladies as gents and any
can do IL am making Q Cabinet Of
Geological specimens, and to any Of your
readers Who will send me . piece Of old

The peculiar shape Of ono OF our local
columns, seems TO demand q word OF en-.
plantation. Having admitted the criticism
Of Rev. Mr.. Martia's preaching in our last.
The same space was asked for . reply and
eheerfully accorded. Rev. Mr.. Hendon,
pastor Of the Baptist church. called ON US
with regard TO tho matter, stating that
Mr.. Martin would not reply, but that rs he
(Mr. Martinl had delivered his sermons
here by request Of the pastor and church,
and as they fully agreed with Mr. Martin as
TO the matters called in question. he, (Mr.
Hendon), felt that himself and church ought
TO respond, II any response should be deem
cd necessary. In order 10 determine this
point, he demanded the name Of the author
OF the article In our last signed alpha"
which we gave him, and he then wrote the
reply" which appears in another column.
We have had advertisers 10 AJAX for the use
OF blank space In that way, but never be-
fore had call TO use thusA ''reading mat

ton to It; We merely wished to explain the
odd appearance Of our local page.

during her recent sojourn at this place,
and In May last 10 meet her at her own
home, We had learned 10 prize highly her
many estimable traits of character. Very
seldom have we ever met one SO warmly
sympathetic and large hearted. We lament
her untimely death, and most deeply COM
miserate the condition Of her husband and
four young children in this sudden eclipse
Of the light Of home which seemed to US q
model of domestic bliss. We shall always
think of her as she appeared among the
roses blooming in their groundsto bid US
adieu, while expressing her pleasant
anticipations of another visit to San Marcos
-anticipations, alas, never to be realized.
We append the following verses which
recently met our eye, and which we deem
appropriate to her life-mission and her
last appearance at her home:
s..sH THE HOME MAKER.
Where the mountains slope to the westward,
And their purple chalices hold
The new made wine of sunset,
Crimson, and amber and gold
In this old, wide-opened doorway,
With elm boughs overhead
The house all garnished behind her,
And bountiful table spread
She has stood to welcome our coming,
Watching our upward climb,
In the sweet June weather that brought u.s.
Oh, many and many time!
To-day in the gentle splendor
OF the early autumn noon
Perfect in sunshine and fragrance,
As was the balmy June --....
Again is is her doorway opened,
And the house is garnished and sweet;
But she silently waits our coming,
And we enter with silent feet.
A little within she is waiting,
Not where she has met us before;
For over that pleasant threshold
She is only to cross once more.
The smile on her face is quiet,
And lily is on her breast,
Her hands are folded together,
And the word on her lipsis ''rest."
And yet it looks like welcome, $.
. For her work is compassed and done
All things are seeming and ready,
And her summer ID just begun.
1t is we who may not pass over;
Only with song and prayer,
A little way into glory,
We may reach rs we leave her there.
But we cannot think her idle;
She must be home maker still;
God giveth that work to the angels
Who are fittest the task to fulfill.
And somewhere yet in the hill-tops
Of the country that hath no pain,
She will watch in her beautiful doorway,
To bid us welcome again.
