HOUSEWIVES EXCHANGE.

Before one can discuss the question whether there
has been general decline in the manners of chill

what in the way cf courtesy and respect the Amer

seem gauche indeed. Especially would this be true

TOO MANY OF WEALTH.
State Federation Needs Some Poor
Officers, Says Nrs. Hastings.

The nominating committee OF the State Fedora
tioR of WomeI's Clubs has not yet issued official
ticket, but il has ticket in mind, and ii is under
stood that nearly every name upon it belongs to
woman of wealth and influence. This has always
been the case with the State executive and is a
condition which is easily explained. It costs so
much to be officer that only women of wealth
can afford it. The richest women IN each town
graVitate toward the State Offices, and as there is
more wealth in New-York than elsewhere through
out the State. most OF the offices go to New-York
women.
This state Of affairs is felt to be a great evil by
many women in the federation and with view to
restoring the balance between poverty and riches
Mrs. Harry Hastings intends TO introduce at the
Syracuse convention q motion providing for the
payment OF ofhcers' expenses.
Il very anxious 10 this policy adopted"

that that was the reason. As things are
State. rather than the ablest. OF course il often
happens that a woman is both rich and able but
iLere are many women OF ability who are not rich
and the federation ought not TO be deprived Of
their services for want of a little money.
BY The present system We are also losing much

there is less money and less command of il on the
part OF women in the country than in the city and

In this old Tavern there are rooms so dear
That would lnger here.

Where l have sat with people and with books;
The very inperfections and the scars
About the walls and ceiling and the 9oor.
The saggng of the windows and the door,

The hearth and chimney and the wood laid bare
There on the old black chair.
The dear diapidation of the place
Smiles In my face,
And I oath to go.
Here from the window is a glimpse OF sea,
Enough for me:
And every evening, through the window bars
Peer in the friendly stars.
And Yet know
That some day must go, and close the door,
And the House no more.
