Farmers Daughters.

The best women in this world are those
daughters who have sacrificed nearly all of
the pleasures of life-except the pleasure of
doing good-to aid their mothers in the toll
and %drudgery IN the farm. Female help is,
and always has been, hard to obtain in the
country. Nearly all girls who go out to SER
vice would rather 60 to the towns, whereth
work is lighter, and where they are not usu-
ally employed more than. half the time,
they have more time to run the streets and
gossip. And generally in towns where EN-.
ployers can earn their money easier,
they can give female help much high.
er wages than On the farms With the best
farmers the sons have superior advantages
to the daughters. A good and devoted
daughter will sacrifice her chance of a bet.
ter, and frequently a common education, in
order to stay home and help her mother, who
is not able to obtain any help. And it is
this class of girls, who, educated or not
make the best wives that ever bless a mans
home. A girl who will leave her mother *
drag and toll out her life when there is M
possible help has not that kind heart and
domestic disposition which will mark her a.
one of the jewels.
The object Of these lines is to awaken The
father on the farm to exert his energies ani

spend all the surplus he can possibly obtain
to educate and to relieve from a life Of druid
gerry not only that self sacrificing daughter
but tho mother from that continuous and life
destroying labor which both are willing to
endure for the sake ofthose they love. Hired
hop on the farm can be had to supply the
place of the son or during the leisure seasons
of the year the son can 60 to school. But in
the household there is no leisure time, there
is no cessation-and very seldom can female
help be had to take the place of the daughter.
But she ought to have as good an education
as the son. And besides her regular education,
she should have more time for ornamental
studies, which a young lady, even the daugh-
ter of a farmer, ought to have to fit her for
the high positions many are destined to oc-
cupy in the society Of the future. OF the
two, the daughter needs a higher education
than her brother. She is physically weaker,
and to push herself successfully in the world
she needs more polish and refinement, as these
are neededin society, in the absence of which
she loses cast, where the brother would not.
And she cannot 60 into many e%mployments
which may be considered respectable for her
brother.
But we are pleading especially for that
noblest specimen Of a girl who is ready and
willing to sacrifice education, society, refine
ment, aud her hope for an honorable position
in life, which is the laudable ambition of all
young ladies, for the sake other dear mother.
We speak for these girls, for they are the
best specimens of humanity which bless the
earth, and which make man $ home a paradise,
either as daughter, mother or wife.
A great many fathers and mothers think it
not necessary to prepare their daughters for
life's work and struggles, for business, or in
the higher circles of society. They imagine
that all she needs is a preparation to marry
But they should place her on a higher plane,
where she will not be compelled, or even in
clined, to marry until she can better her pros
poets and situation by doing so. Hence she
should be educated and polished so that she
may be more Independent and not only make
her own living, but distinguish herself in
SOM of the many branches Of arts, sciences
or cmployments which are widening for he,
to enter. Girls, to be Independent, must be
able to carr their W bread in a respectable
way, where they will not be lowered in the
estimation of those who rule the world Of
fashion. In this way We are not appealing
for all farm girls. 1t is only for that best
class whose goodness of heartbeat them t.
sacrifice themselves to their mother. They
are the nobler specimens of humanity intheil
humble and unpublished position on the farm
But when educated and polished as they
should be they will bless the cot, the palace
the sanctuary, the halls of fashion and thu
world. Fathers on the farm, if you hav'
such a jewel in the household, polish her fo1
that destiny of usefulness and honor fo
which she was intended.-Iowa State Register

THE wATERTOwN CONVEN-
,IIiIh.

aSS- 1861
There are occasions when the sue
cess of a party is embarrassed and jeo-
PARKED by the unwisdom that more or
less enters in to embitter its members
and destroy it's power for good.
In addition to the folly that men
sometimes exhibit, comes a madness,
and if it ever were true, then must 1t
be said with the poet, concerning those
upon whom the responsibility rests for
the result at Watertown last week,
.'whom the gods destroy, they first
make mad" The attempt to disrupt
the party by the stay-aways failed,
signally failed, and those who took
part in the rump convention, engine
cred by the friends Of Mr.. Day, real
lied as soon AZ it was over that a great
mistake had been made and they are
left high and dry on the shoals Of fact
ion to bewail the condition that has
driven them away from a party with
the grandest Of principles that could
ever animate a party, to become the
subjects of morse because of their de.
votion to an individual. That this
was the result of the Day fasco is the
opinion of Mr.. V. B. Noble, delegate
from Bottineau County.
1t was a fortunate thing for the
party that the element of rashness,
imbecility and malice did net assume
the form of a hostility in the convent
ion aud rancorous opposition to its
acts, for with a Just cause to defend i,
might have earned respect at least,
but pursuing the course it did, in re.
fusing to participate in the proceed
incs, it manifested a weakness, which
must serve to strengthen the regular
organization and expose the %insinccr'
ity of those who had they pursued &
different course would have destroyed
the party and its prospects; as it is
the foolish and foolhardy course which
we regret to say has characterized thu
course of Mr.. Day and his friends
will prove to be the Democratic
party's opportunity and tout of thu
nettle, danger, we will pluck tn
flower, safety"
The views above expressed arc corrobor
ated by both the Pioneer Press and tn
Globe of St. Paul, viz: that Day made
great mistake, and thst it would have bee
more manly and honorable to have gone int
the convention than to nave skulked in tn
way he did.
