many to whom that plain face Is beauC-
full, that helpful hand very dear. Her
lovers are not of the romantic sort; but
old women, little children, erring men,
and forlorn girls give her an affection as
endearing and sincere as any husband
could have done. Few will know her
worth here, but, in the long hereafter,
am sure S. will be blessed with eternal
beauty, happiness and love.


A. is woman of strongly individ-
ual type, who in the course of an unusu
ally varied experience has seen 80
much of what wise man has called
''the tragedy of modern married life,"
that she is afraid to try it. Knowing
that for one of peculiar nature like
herself such an experiment would be
doubly hazardous, she has obeyed in
stinct and became chronic old maid
Filial and fraternal love must satisfy
her, and grateful that such ties are pos
sible, she lives for them and is contented
Literature is fond and faithful spouse,
and the little family that has sprung up
around her, though perhaps unioving
and uninteresting to others, is a profita-
BILE source Of satisfaction to her mater
nal heart After a som ewhat tempestu-
Gus voyage, she is glad to find herself
in quiet haven whence she can look
back upon her vanished youth, and feel
that though the blossom time of life is
past, little fruit remains TO ripen in
the early autumn coming on. Not lone
ly, for parents, brothers and sisters,
friends and babies keep her heart full
and warm; not idle, for necessity, stern,
yet kindly teacher, has taught her the
worth of work; not unhappy, for love
and labor, like good angels, walk at
either hand, and the divine Friend fills
the world with strength and beauty for
the soul and eyes that have learned to
feel and see it thankfully.


NY sisters, don't be afraid Of the
words, cold maid,'' for it is in your pow
er to make this term of honor, not re-
proach. 1t is not necessary to be sour,
spiteful, spinster, with nothing to do
but brew tea, talk scandal and tend
pocket handkerchief. No, the world is
full of work, needing all the heads,
hearts and hands we can bring to do it.
Never was there so splendid an opportu-
nifty for women to enjoy their liberty
and prove that they deserve it by using
it wisely. If love comes as it should
come, accept it in Gods name and be
worthy of it's best blessings. If it new
er comes, then in G DDS name reject the
shadow of it, for that can never satisfy
hungry heart. Do not be ashamed to
own the truth-do not be daunted by
the fear of ridicule and loneliness, nor
saddened by the loss of a womans ten
derest ties. Be true to yourselves; cher
ish whatever talent you possess, and in
using it faithfully for the good OF others
you will most assuredly find happiness
for yourself, and make Of life no ia lure,
but beautiful success.

Editor Republican SIR-With per-
feet astonishment I have heard the re-
ports which have come to me in my dis
tressed condition, while watching by the
bedside of my wounded husband. That
there is not one word of truth in them I
can positively assert. 1t is the refine
ment of cruelty to thus force me before
the public, but my husbands reputation
and my own must be vindicated against
the foul ISLANDERS which have been ut
tered. 1t is hard for me to speak against
my own mother, but necessity demands
that | should at once make public what
both myself and my husbond have en-
deavored to keep secret since our mar
riage. To substantiate my statements
and to give clear and sufficient account
of everything, permit me to refer to some
acts of my past life.


My mother always held me complete
ly under her control, and 1 never DISC
beyed her in anything save when 1 mar
ried Lieutenant Moore. At ten years of
age she forced me to go on the stage,
and pictured to me the honors 1 might
win. This life, which was one extreme.
ly repugnant to my feelings, 1 led for
eight years, and frequently, when 1 have
not had the heart to act well, she would
pinch and abuse me behind the scenes,
and frighten me into acting a part
When Lieutenant Moore wished to mar
ry me, we begged and implored her to
grant her consent, and, although was
very ill, and my life was in danger, she
was not willing for US to be married. but
said that | must remain on the stage,
and that we would go to Europe. We
were married, however, without her per-
mission, and my husband treated her
with exceeding kindness, but her cou-
duct toward him was terrible, as is we'll
known to the ladies of the garrison at
Macon, where we resided then. About
a week after our marriage she feigned
sickness, and wanted to go home to
Columbus, Indiana. She begged
my husband to allow me to accompany
her, promising faithfully that I should
return within weak. She resolved i'm
mediately after we started from Macon,
and when we reached home she said that
1 should never go back, and that I
should stay on the stage. My uncle
and cousins aided her in trying to coax,
and in threatening me, in order to induce
me to yield to their desires. My clothes
were packed in trunk and sent back to
my husband, and letters (which are now
in my possession were forged and sent
to him, purporting to come from me.

back to him again. They took my we'd

"Orator Puff had two tones to his voice"
We were reminded Of it by reading the

them before the election, but it is not yet
too late to exhibit the manner Of the can

to every Irishman who still loves the
Emerald Isle, when that day comes.''


The appeal to the banker, manufacturer
and capitalist, was true ones # Twas they
who carried the late election. The appeal
to the Irishman was q false one but as
Belmont and Seymour are away up the
Saline river, no danger can come to any
Of US, and hence, the Irishman can shleep

danger OF white slavery than other folks,
we don't exactly see. They mostly work

Anybody can soil tho reputation Of

The Democrats claim that their party is
the poor mans friend. We deny it. For
many years that party was 10 power, and its
legislation was always shaped for the pur-
pose Of favoring the slave holding interests
of the Soutl-an interest always hostile and
detrimental to free white labor. The poor
emigrant who went South found himself
compelled to compete with slave labor, and
found the land held in large plantations by
wealthy slave owners. But when the Re-
publican party came into power, one of its
first acts was to pass a National Homestead
Law, allowing poor men to claim l6O acres
Of the public lands in any State or Terrific
ry of the Union and protecting it forever
against execution and forced sale. This law
of Republican Congress has given many
thpusauds of poor and industrious men good
and comfortable homes on the public do
main-homes which misfortuncs and pecuni
airy liabilities cannot take away. This noble
law alone should enshrine the Republican
party forever in the hearts of the poor men
of America The true reason why the Dem
ocrats never passed such law was because
it would Interfere with the slave interests of
the South. They wanted all the best portions
of the public domain 10 be forever dedicated
to slavery, and shut out from free men and
free labor. Let the poor men and free la
borers of the country think of these facts,
and give their suffrages to the party that has
pro ed itself the friend of free labor.

"Burleigh," a clergyman, writes as
follows to the Boston Journal from New
York:


"At all these meetings Allen is con-
spicuous. He wears frowsy suit of
clothes, and unclean shirt, without col
lar or cravat. He takes no more inter-
est in the services than does Kit Burns.
Without any hat on, he employs his
time in running about among the crowd
now inside among the audience; on
the stand near the speaker; in the door
way; up and down the street; crossing
over and talking with his old chums;
evidently bent on making the most of
his present notoriety. l had talk with
him on Saturday. He is greatly an
noyed that his new friends won't let
him speak. He has no sympathy with
the religious mode of doing things in
his establishment. He says because he
doesn't wear long face, doesn't
grunt and groan, and tear
his hair, he isn't allowed to
talk. The meeting he says is his own,
aud he would speak if people would call
him out. He admits that he hasn't left
off drinking, and doesn't intend to at
present. He is shrewd, crafty fellow,
and evidently expected in some way to
turn his change of business into profit,
which has not as yet turned up. He
complained on Saturday that the reli-
gious people filled his house, and have
so far given him nothing for his great
loss in giving up his business. On Fri
day, Aliens brother, Presbyterian
clergyman, led the meeting in his
rooms. He was so affected that he was
obliged to be taken out, and was unable
to conclude the services. All this had
no more seeming effect on Allen than it
would have had on barrel of whisky.
However it may turn out with him these
daily convocations for prayer and praise,
the excitement created in this neighbor-
hood every day, has very nearly ruined
for the present the business of all these
dance houses, and brought temporary
reformation throughout all this quarter,
and only good can come from the agita.
