THE POOR YE ALW<YS HAVE WITH

TIE POOR YE dLWZYS HAVE WITH
YOU
In all cities, and ST. Paul is no exception,
there is much unavoidable suffering among
the poor when the setting in Of the long win
ter occurs. The income from daily labor
during the warm season ceases, when the cold
season puts an end TO out door labor, and
many poor families suffer from lack of fuel,
food and proper clothing. II is in vain 20
appeal to the wealthy, and benevolent 10 aid
such, unless some practical, systematic or
gsnization is formed, outside Of any existing
efforts for the relief of the poor and suffer
ing. An organization, or organizations
might be formed in st. Paul, such as are
known to exist in other cities, for the relief
Of the wretched poor, whether families OF in
dividuals during the winter season, not TO
support them as absolute paupers, but to aid
them in eking out the small savings OF their
summer earnings.
In the city Of New York is an organization
called the Society for Improving Working
mems Homes. Such an organization IL com
mended TO the good citizens Of 81. Paul, as
a means Of relief for the poor, the unfortu-
nate. the sick and suffering in the city. This
society commenced its work three years ago,
opening a house where good meals and com
Portable lodgings could be obtained for mere
IL nominal prices. The year following the
society opened another home OF like charac-
ter. Both Of these places have been success
full from the start, aud the revenue from
these has been sufficient to pay expenses.
Lodgings are furnished at fifteen cents a
night and meals from FIVE cents upwards.
Another house Of a similar character has
been opened by the society, within the past
two weeks. The ground floor contains an
off ce and a reading room, the upper stories
are fitted up as dormitories. The basement
con tains a laVatory, bath room, and a space
for restaurant. The rooms are plainly but
neatly furnished, well lighted, warmed and
ventilated. Thus the INDECENT poor, the
working people Of small means have the OPP
portunity Of securing comfort, warmth, food
and lodgings at nominal prices.
How many INDECENT families, with child
rem plnched by want may thus ind some
substantial relief. And how many may
thus be kept away from low hauuts Of dissi-
patton, TEN ptation and vice, and saved from
utter wreck and ruin. Who, and how many

ment of the inclement season, and initiate
the beneyolence and humanity Of this New
York Society for Improving Workingmeu's
Homes! Those who thus do, cannot be said
to live in vain. Their lives are not only a
blessing to the world, but psalm Of Joy to
the unfortunate and suffering; and they are
also sure Of the benediction OF the Divine
Master: ''Inasmuch as ye have done il

BLUE-STOcRTNGS.

The origin of the term "Blue-Stoekings"
as applied to ladies making pretensions to
learning and intellectual culture, as des-
cribed in Gleanings for the Curious seems
20 be rather strained and farfetched. Certain
ii is, the term originated at period in the
worlds history when women were not gen
orally credited with the ability TO make men,
tai attainments, aud when one did make
any pretensions TO educational improve
ment she was sneeringly set down as a pc
dantic upstart, in fine, a Blue-Stocking.
The offensive term has ceased to be applied
to literary ladies and writers of the present
day. Ladies have achieved conquest in
this respect, and have successfully asserted
their superiority In many Of the walks of
literature and by their genius, their attsin-
ments in learning have won crown of
honor, which is ungrudgingly bestowed up
on the sex. Thousands now stand honored
and admired in the field of literature and ed
ucational pursuits, where formerly but few
ventured 10 enter. An old writer gives the
origin Of the now very properly discarded
opprobrious epithet Blue-Stoclings. TWAS

ladies TO have evening assemblies where

IT is very evident that the Minneapolis
Tribune, under its new management, is rap
idly supplanting the Pioneer Press in that city.
The gibes which the p. p. hurls at ''the fresh
young man." shows that it is hurt There
is no reason why the people of Minneapolis
should be beholden to St. Paul paper for
their local or general news, aud it is strange
that they should tolerate such a thing. The
Tribune and PIP. are both Republican sheets,
and as the Tribune covers the same political
field as the p. p, people do not desire a
double dose. If the people of Minneapolis
display the pluck they usually do, they will
see that their own paper is not hampered by
the patronage bestowed upon an alien sheet.
They will find in the GLOBE ''the other side''
politically from that presented by the Tribune,
and with these two papers, there is no occa-
sion for the p. p. having single subscriber
in the Flour City.

1 notice the death of Governor Ramsey's
wife with sympathy and regret, Ramsey was,
like Grimes, of Scotch extraction, but mixed

well, not to be left in the race of life, and
yet to live we'll as he went

that he thought nature had greatly erred in
giving a man only one stomach, and that

ought to have a thousand stomachs. The
only way that know of to have thousand

Even Hannah More, a great literary celeb
rity in her day. was regarded as a Blue
Stocking In the offensive sense in which il
was used. A Mr.. Sulingaeet, one Of the

his absence was regarded as q great ioss. and

out the Biue-Stochngs,' aud thus, for this
fantastic reason, it is said the tile gradually
was established" This account Of the orr
gin OF the tern is rather spocryphal. Hannah
More, the distinguished authoress and great
literary celebrity Of the last century, was
member Of one Of these conversational sOcie-
ties or Clubs, and her account Of the origin
Of the term Blue-Stocking is much more "a
tionsl and authentic. She wrote poem OF
some four hundred lines, addressed 10 Mrs.
Vesey, a. whose home the societies often

is enlivened by ssllies OF wit, and enriched
with various historic illusions. The meet
ings OF her ''Club'' commenced about 1850
The poem was written in 1857. Miss More
prelaces her poem with the following note:
''1he following trihe owes its birth and name

They were composed Of persons, distin-
guished, in general for their rank, talents, or
respectable character, who met frequently al
Mrs. Vesey's, and at a few other houses, for
the sole purpose Of con versation, and were
different in no respect from other parties, but
that the company die not play cards. "May
