A season or arv. :. '1'. r.
If abrother or sister he naked, and destitute of
daily food, and one of you say unto them. Depart
in peace be yo warmed and filled; notwithstanding
ye give them not those things which are needfnl for
the body ; what doth it profit l—Jamea 2 i 15, 10.
An old lady sat in her old arm chair,
. With wrinkled visage and disheveled hair,
And hungeroworn features;
For days and for weeks her only fare,
As she sat there in her old arm chair,
Had been potatoes.
But now they were gone; of bad or good
Not one was left for the 9ld lady’s food
01' those potatoes; ~
And she sighed. and said, “ What shall I do '2
Where shall I send, and to whom shall I go
For more potatoes '1”
And she thought of the deacon over the way,
The “ so ready to worship and pray,
Whose cellar was full of potatoes.
And she said: "I will send for the deacon to come;
He'll not mind much to give me some ‘
Of such a store of potatoes.”
And the deacon came over as fast as he could,
Thinking to do the old lady some good,
But never, for once, of potatoes:
He asked her at once what was her chief want,
And she, simple soul; expEcting a grant,
Immediately answered potatoes.
But the deacon’s religion didn’t run that way;
He was more accustomed to preach and to pray,
Than to give of his boarded potatoes :
So, not hearin g, of course, what the old lady said,
He rose to pray, with uncovered head,
But she only thought of potatoes. g
He prayed for patience, and wisdom, and grace,
But when he prayed "Lord give her peace,"
She audibly sighed “ Give potatoes :”
And at the end of each prayer which he said,
He heard, or thought that he heard in its stead,
That same request for potatoes.
The deacon was troubled; knew not what to do;
”has very embarrassing to have her not so
About those carnal potatoes."
So, ending his prsyér, be started for home;
But, as the door closed behind him, be heard a deep
groans
“ 0, give to the hungry, potatoes 1”
' And that groan followed him all the way home;
In the midst of the night lf'haunted his room—
"0, give to the hungry, potatoes!”
1H0 could bear it no longer; arose and dressed;
From his well-filled cellar taking in basis
A bag of his best potatoes.
Again he'went to the widow’s lone hut;
Her sleepless eyes she had not yet shut;
But there she sat in that old arm chair,
With the same wan features, the same sad air,
And, entering in, be poured on the door
A bushel or more from his goodly store,
or choicest potatoes.
The widow's heart leaped up for joy,
Her face was haggard and wan no more.
" Now," said the deacon, “ shall we pray '1"
“Yes," said the widow, "now you may.”
And he kneeied him down on the sanded fioor, ,
Where he had poured his goodly store,
And such a prayer the deacon prayed,
As never before his lips assayed;
No longer embarrassed, but free and full,
He poured out the voice of a liberal soul,
And the widow responded aloud “ amen i"
Bfit said no more of potatood.
D
And would you, who hear this simple tale,
Prayfor the poor, and praying “ prevail,”
Then preface your prayers with aims and good deeds;
Search out the poor, their wants and their needs:
Pray for peace, and grace. and spiritual food,
For wisdom, and guidance,f or all these are good,
' But don’tforget the potatoes.
CHUCII DlSlIONESTY _
The following pithy article from Laicm in
the Christian Union, we publish by request:
' Mr DEAR‘EDITORh-I had the privilege
of attending, the other evening, a special
meeting of the Board of Trustees of Calva-
ry Presbyterian Church at Wheathedge. It
was, in fact, convened at my request. I
have the honor to be, as I think I have here-
toe on Supply. I have .been agitating the
subject of an increase of salary. Our com-
mittee are fully agreed that we cannot ob-
tain a ‘stor for less than $1,500, and I add
as a minority report, a parsonage. The
salary heretofore has been $1,200. Some of
the committee were in favor of assuming
the responsibility and telling candidates that
we would pay $1,500. This was Mr. Whea-
'ton’s advice. “.Go ahead,” said he; “ the
church will back you.” .But when I asked
him if he would stand responsible for the-
deficit if the church did not“ back” us; he
declined. Without a responsible backer I
declined to “ go ahead.” So a. meeting of
the Board of Trustees was called. The
Supply Committee met with them. James
Wheaten, Esq, Chairman of the Board of
Trustees, was in the chair.
On behalf of the Supply Committee. I
stated the object for which the Board was
convened. The church had hitherto paid
$1,200 salary. It was quite inadequate.
No one doubted that. It was impossible to
'get such a man as the church needed for less
than $1,500.-—Cou1d we offer that amount
in our informal conference? Would the
.Board sustain us?
"Upon this there was an informal expres-
sion of opinion all round the Board. Mr.
Wheaton led the way. He had'no doubt
on the subject. We must have a minister, a
live, wide-awake, practical-man. Such men
were in'demand.' If one could not be got '
for $1,200, we must pay $1,500. That was
the way in which he'managed railroads;
and business was business, whether in
church or railroad. Not pretending to be a
saint, he naturally took a worldly view of
the matter; but he at least fried to conduct '
worldly matters 0n equitable principles.' It
was certainly true that the laborer was wor-
thy of his hire. '
So, in substapce, James Wheaton, Esq,
Chairman Board of Trustees, etc., etc.; and
so said they 'all.
“ Well, gentlemen,” said Mr. Wheaten,
“this is just what I expected; yes, let me
say, just what I was sure of. In fact, I told
Mr. Laicus he might depend on having
$1,500 a year; but he was not satisfied with
my assurance—he wanted yours. I hope
. he is satisfied.”
“ Excuse me,” said I, “ if I seem unreason-
able, butI am not satisfied; and I should
have certainly licen so with Mr. Wheaton’s
assurance. I never doubted that he was
good for $1,500 a year. But in dealing with
a church card, to be frank, I want to know
where th money is coming from. Pray,
Mr. Treasurer, what was our income last
year from pew rents l”
The Treasurer murmured something about
‘not having hisaccounts.
“ In round numbers,” said I.
“ Between twelve and thirteen hundred
dollars.” , '
“ And our expenses ‘2”
“Not far fi'omsixteen hundred dollars.”-
“And, pray, how,” continued I, “ was the
deficit made up 1" ~
. A part, it appears, was made up by a
special subscription, and a part is still due
as floating debt, and part went in to increase
the mortgage. Perhaps I would remember
the meeting in the fail at Mr. Wheaton’s
house? 4 G
I did remember it very well. But I was
anxious that other gentlemen should not
forget it.
“ And now, gentlemen,” said I, “ youpro-
pose to add three hundred dollars to that
'annual deficit. Where is the money to come
Dom ‘1’” '
There was a momentary silence. ' The
question was'e‘vidently a new one. Appa— '
r'ently not a member of the Board had con-
sidered it. At length one gentleman sug—
‘gested that we must raise thc‘pcw rents.
This brought an' indignant protest from‘
Deacon S-'——, who is .a Strong- advocate of
the ~free-pew system. “Never,” sa'id he,‘
“withmy c‘onsent. Any pew-rent is bad
stro ed b fire. A continuance of the ubli atro-
nagg is'sglicited. R. ll: PERRY.

. enough. Trafiékisg in the 'Gospel is abom-
tofore iniimated,a member of the Commit- c
inable at best. _It shuts out the poor. Worse
then that, it shuts out the godless, the irrei
A ligious, the profane—the very men we want
to catch. Thé’ pew-renis'are too high now.
We must not raise them.” '
The Treasurer also added a mild protest.
The pew-holders would not stand it. ,
.“ What do you say, Mr. thalon," said I.
“ Say ?” said he; “ why, I say you cannot
carry on a church on the shine principles on
which you carry on a railroad or a bank.
It is a different affair altogether. You must
trust line Lord for something. I think we
can safely trust Him to the amount of three
hundred dollars at least Where’s your
faith ?’
“ Making false promises and trusting the
Lord to fulfil them isn’t faith,” said Deacon
8—. -
“I say, Jim,” said Squire H—, you
trust Him for our interest money—that will
set us all right.”
There was a little laugh at .the suggestion.
Mr. Wheaten holds a mortgage. on the
church. .He. did not lake kindly to this
practical application of the doctrine of faith.
“ Oh, well," said ,he, “ we can raise it
somehow. Never fear. A good minister
will draw in and fill up our empty pews.
Then in the summer we must manage to
bleed the boardersa little more-freely. It
won’t hurt them. What with a concert, or
a fair, or a subscription, or a little extra ef-,
fort on our plate collections, we can manage
it, I have no doubt.”
“For my part,” said .I, “ I 'agree with one
of the gentlemen, who told us early in this
discussion that we mustcnrry on church af-
fairs on business principles not agreeing to
pay money which we have not got and don’t
know where tOget.‘ I will not be a party
to getting a minister here ous-CXCuse the
term—false pretcnees ; on the assurance that
we can pay him $1,500 a year'when it is a
hard mailer to pay him $1,200. There are
ten of us here. I will put my name down
now for $30, if the rest will do the same.
If the Lord sends us the $300, or if the ladies
raise it by a fair, or if Mr. Wheaten gets up-
a concert, or the slimmer boarders came to
our rescue, we shall have nothing to pay;
for will not have it all to idsc."
The matter was eventually settled in that
way. We raiseda contingent fund, of $150
then and there, which we have since made
up to $400. So that now we can offer
$1,500 a year with a clear conscience.
meeting and to beg you to call the attention
of .Chrisiian laymen to this species Of church
dishonesty. To promise without means .of
performance is a sure road not only to bank-
ruptcy, but to a dishonorable one. It is a
road, however, which churches travel to an
exten tthat covers the cause of Protestant
Christianity with shame.‘
My friend Mr. J ewett, the broker, assures
me that it is very hard—almost impossible-4
to get a loan on church property. Capital-
ists are loath .to foreclose a church. It is
always an unpopular act. And churches
take advantage of this fact, and are notori-
ously slack in paying their interest.
Contractors tell me that they would rather
build Roman Catholic than Protestant
churches. In the former case they deal
with one man—the priest. ’He makes the
contracts, approves the work, and pays the
bills. In the other case they deal with com-
mittees, and never know whom to hold re-
sponsible for the funds. My friend, Mr.
Hardcap, is a case in point. He did the
carpenter work in some repairs on the Bap-
tist church here last summer. When he got
th'rough he carried in his bill to the Presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees. The Presi-
dent referred him to 'the Treasurer. The-
Treasurer reported no funds, and referred
him to the Chairman of the Building Com-
mittee. The Chairman of the Building
Committee explained that it was his busi-
ness to supervise the building, not to raise
the funds, and sent bim backsto the Presi-
dent. It was not till Mr. Hardcap, whose
stock of patience is small, threatened the
church with a mechanics’ lien that the rem-
edy was forthcoming.
This injustice is the greatest and most
scandalous in the treatment to which the
churches subject their ministers. That min-
isters are subjected to hardships is a matter
of no cbnsequence. So are other people.
It is the injustice, the absolute and inde-
fensible injustice, the promising to pay their
meagre salaries, and then not paying even
those—the obtaining of their Services under
false pretences—that I complain 'of. If I
were a minister I_ never would accept a call
without knowing thoroughly the income
and the expenditure of the chugeh.
' As I write there lies before me a letter
from my late pastor.‘ He wants to borrow
$300 for a few weeks. His Board of True:
tees are thus much behindhand in the first
quarter’s payment. He has not the means
to pay his rent. The duty of the Board in
such a case is very evident. The very' lcdst
they can do is to share in providing tempo
18.1in for the exigency. The very. most
which a mean Board could do would be to
ask the minister to unite with them in pay-
ing up the deficiency. In fact, he who is
least able to do it has to carry it all.‘ N 0-
body else will trust the church. so has to
trust for hundreds of doling-s. And then
when his grocer and his landlord and his
tailor go unpaid, men shrug their shoulders
and say pityingly, “ 0h! he’s a minister,
he’s not trained to business habits.” And
contempt to see the Christian Church carry-
ing on its business in a manner the dishon-
esty of which would close the doors of any
bank, deprive any insurance company of its
charter, and drive any broker in Wall street
from the Broker’s Board. ,
I should like to preach one sermon to a
congregation composed entirely of church
trustees, and church wardens, or write a
tract to be distributed exclusively to them.
Th text Would be “ Provide things honest
in t e sight of all men.” ,
. Yours, &c.,

The Real Nature of the Stuff they
get “ nigh” on. '
Several cases of parties in Stonington;
prosecuted for selling adulterated liquors
and wines, came before the Superior Court
at Norwich, a few days since. The prose-
cution offered the testimony of Professor
Silliman, Stale Chemist, which we copy, as
it must prove delightful reading to the nu-
merous ciass that buys and guzzles these
villainous compounds of sulphuric acid, ox-
ide of lead, fusil oil, etc., under the names
of rum, gin, Whisky, etc. Prof. Silliman
testified as follows:
I am Professor of Chemisli' in Y is C l-
iege and State Chemist. 'I hayVC bcefi BEHI-
ing chemistry especial study for the ”Stag“
years. The samples of liquor were bred t
to me on the 27th of March last. S. K: i1-
iinghast made his appearance at my house,
bringing three samples of liquors. He
brought two orders from the Justice to ex:
amine the liquors, under orders fromiGu'rdon’
S. Grendel]. The orders were to- TillingJ
hast to bring the samples to me to examine,
and I receipted for them. Two of the sam-
ples were marked as liquors in the ease of
State vs. H. C, Stanton. The sample N e. 1
came out of cask No. 30f Stantons, and I
give the analysis of what came in the bot-
tle. .It is an imitation of port wine, very
turbid and heavily laden with sugar or mo-
lasses. The specific gravity is ‘1015, water
being 1000. It is heavier than water from
the sugar it contains. It also contains oxide
of lead, sulphuric acid, over 21 per cent. of
alcohol and over 10 per cent. of sugar or
molasses. It is also laden with coloring
matter: I proceeded to make examination
analytically to determine the quantities of
the ingredients. It contains sulphuric acid
100 grams to the gallon—partly free as oil
Vitriol and part combined in alum—oxide of
lead .or_ liiharge, in poisonous quantity, and
in turbidity or in clear liquor by filtering,
about45 grains to the gallon. The alcohol
obtained from this liqu'by distillation had
an eeld taste. It had also an offensive odor
from the coloring matter. The liquor con-
tained deleterious and poisonous substances.
I have a small vial of oxide of lead. *
* The quantity found by me is
ample to afl‘ect any liquor. This liquor is
stronger in its contents of lead then most
waters-that are poisoned by it. It is in suf-
fic1ent quantities to be deleterious to the hu-
man system. -
The learned professor co riinued at length
to state the poisonous effects of the ingredi-
ents contained in these liquors, and submit—
ted the fOilowlng scientific analysis:

NEW HAVEN, March 24th, 1870.-
To Gurdon S. C’randall, Justice of the Peace,
Stonington, 001m. : . .
Sm: Your two orders issued March 16m
to Samuel K. Tillinghast, touching the case
of State ys. H. C. Stanton, and of the State
vs. Harriett Palmer, instructing the said
Tillmghast to take charge of and deliver to
me, as State Chemist, certain samples ofliq-
uor therein specified, to be analyzed, have
been duly received by me, togetherwith the
said samples from the hands of said Tilling-
bust, and according to the requirements of
the statute and my official oath, I have sub-
mitted said” liquors to chemical analysis,
and now have athe honor to report to you
the results copied from my records, togeth-
er with my conclusions therefom.
OXIDE or LEAD AND OIL onvrrmor. IN PORT
WINE. '
First Sam p10 (No. 3) H. 0. Stanton.
First sample, March 17th,l'1870, received
of Samuel K. Tiliin hast, one pint bottle
marked “ N o. 3. H. . Stanton. Small cask
gogbgu’nd, ten-gallons, March 16th, 1870,
I find the sample to be a spurious or imi-
tation port wine. It is overloaded with su-
gar and coloring matter, and made deleteri-
ous and poisonous by the addition of lead,
alum and sulphuric acid, besides various
coloring and astringent drugs.
The weight, owing to these fabrics, is
made considerably over that of pure water
viz : 1015, water being 1000, notwithstand-
infi‘its alcoholic strength. ,
his imitation of pure port wine contains
over 21 per cent. of absoluble alcohol by
weight, or over 15 per cent. by volume or
measure. Over 10 per cent of its weight is
en at or molasses.
, tis decidedly acid to tests, owing to the
preseneeof sulphuric acid or oil of vitriol,
of which it contains about 100 grains to the
gailon,partiy combined as alum,parily tree'.
' It contains lead, in the form of oxide
lead, in poisonous quantity. This lead was
probably added as sugar of lead for sweet-
ness and asiringency, and has by its decom-
position furnished oxide of lead. It is dis-
covered in the clear filtered liquor, and in
greater quantity in the turbid matter suspen-
ded therein, and which the filtration re-
moves, but in both forms will find its way
into the stomach of drinkers and do its
work. '
It is» hard to find a vileror more perni-
cious falsification of a. wine or liquor than
this sample. Even its coloring after is
false; iis acidity, astringeney and 'eoholic
strength and saccharine and extractive mat-
ters are all false, and so far as «they can be,
deleterious or poisonous, or both.
‘ Even. on. wmsxr.
Second Sample (No. 4,) 11.0. Stanton.
Second sample, received March 17, 1870,
of Samuel K. Tillin bust, one pint bottle,
marked “ No. 4, H. tanton, painted cask,
iron hoops, tested March ~16, 1870, G. S. C.”
This article was evidently compounded in
imitation of whisky. Besides alcohol and
water,I find it to contain lead, iron, sulphu-
ric acid, fusil oil, a bitter, astringent princi-
ple, and sugar besides some extractive mat-
ters. It contains 40 per cent, of its weight
of alcohol, equal to net 83 per cent. of proof
spirits. It contains lead in poisonous quan-
tity as oxide of lead. Every common sized
drain of it carries into the stomach of the
drinker enough of this subtle poison to in-
duce, when often repeated, all the well-
known symptoms of lead poisoning. Fusil
oil has been added in imitation of corn
whisky or “ Old Bourbon.” Fusil oil is a
deleterious substance. .
TURPENTINE GIN.
Third- ;Sam‘ple (H. Palmer, No. 3.).
Third sample, received March, 17th,_ of
Samuel K. T'llinghnst, one pint bottle mark-
ed “ No. 3, Pl. Palmer, wood colored, tcn~
gallon cask." “ March 16th, G. S. C.”
This liquor has obviously been manufac-
tured in imitation of gin. Besides alcohol
and water, it contains lead, sulphuric acid,
Oil of juniper, oil of turpentine, sugar, etc.
The alcoholic strength, as determined by
distillation, gives 38 per cent. of absolute
alcohol by weight, equal to 79 per cent. of
proof spirits, or, it is 31 per cent. below-
proof. -
It contains oxide of lead in poisonous
quantity. Every ordinary drum of the liq-
uor holdslead enough in solution to produce
lead poisoning, if it is often repeated.
Sulphuric acid, which is found in all these
liquors, is one of the substances used in the
adulteration of liquors, for the purpose of
giving false strength and a stinging sensa-
tion. It is present in the second and third
samples in small quantities; in the first
sample in large quantity. There can be no
question that in any quantity sulphuric acid
must be considered a deleterious substance.
Lead, which is prcs'eutin all the samples,
is one 01 the most subtle of all metallic
poisons. It accumulates by small success-
ive doses, gaining power by each new addv
tion. .
It is well known that the frequently re-
peated introduction of even very minute
quantities of any of the preparations .01
lead into the system may, after a. time, lll-
duee serious symptoms such as loss of ap-
petite, great thirst, a metallic taste in the
mouth, parched tongue and throat, dull and
anxious countenance, yellow, dry skin, more
or less severe abdominal gripmgs, and 0.
blue line along the line of the gums.
These symptoms are frequently... -fbllowed
by sharp pains in the extremeties, muscular
emaciations and paralysis. . .
I have ventured to add these remarks up-
on the symptoms of lead poisoning, because
I believe they arenot so generally known as
they should be, and they appear in this con-
ncciion with. the manufacture and suit: of
poisonous liquors, to hold up a mirror, re-
flecting the image Of all the frightful hor-
rors which the wretched victims of such
dram drinking are sure ‘to suffer. .
I have the honor to remain your obedient
servant, .

Petroleum V. Nasby’s New Lecture.
.1 am by nature a. conservative, for I was
.born one. In my infancy I was rocked in
an {old-fashioned cradle, for my parents'
would heve nothing whatever to do with
new fanglcdjewsharps on springs. What-
ever they used must have the sanction of
years. ’.When my infantile stomach was
organized I was soOthed With Godfrey's cor-
dial. Artth beginning paregoric was the
favorite, but my‘mother one day happened
to discover-inc hbilsehold book that her
grandmother .uscd Godfrey’s cordial That
was immediately substituted as being un-
doubtedly the best. Godfrey’s cordial was
accounted the most efficacious because the
bottles which contained it were quaint and
old-fashioned, and the labels were printed
in the characters upon paper used a century
ago. It was good enough for the stomach
of my ancestors; why not for mine? It has
e'ver since been a rule in our family that it
is better for babies to (lie of Godfrey’s cor-
dial than to live by reason of any other
remedy. One of my brothers suggested that
s'cieuce had advanced since Godfrey’s day,
but he was told to leave the house immedi-
ately, and never darken its doors again. My
father died of bleeding. He had a fever
and would be ble‘d as his father had bled
before him. But I cannot dwell upon fami-
ly matters. I have much to say, and life is
short and uncertain. I know that is so. for
a life insurance agent told me so yesterday.
Conservatives are not as a. rule logicians.
Logic is a Ship that sails outward into 1m-
cxplored and to timid minds, perilous sens.
By doing only that which husbecn done we
hold fast to our ancestors; and if they were
not respectable people, pray, who were
Indore women. I" recognize the import-s
ance of the sex. But for women where
would we be? .But for women George
Washington would-never have been the
father of his Country. I adore woman,
but I want her to keep her place. I
do not want woman lobe “the coming man."
In considei-ingtbis woman question, I
should of course occupy the conservative
standpoint. From theriieginning, woman
has occupied a depend'edt' position, and has
been nothing but what'man has chosen to .
make her. But I am sure that her present
condition is her proper condition, for it has
always been So, and that is reason enough.
Adam stibjugatcd Eve at 15%, beginning; I
do not hear that they eVen‘liud a. divorce in
Paradise, and that is'pioof positive that
Pa‘eadise is not in India . I insist that all
the labor there was done in Paradiselwas
done by Eve. She was no sfi'ong-minded
female, and never got out of her legitimate
sphere. As a cpnserva’tive, I oppose any
advancement of woman, because she is the
inferior of man. This fact‘is recognized in
all civilized countries and in most heathen
nations. It has been said that the mother
Look at
our inferior men; look at the Congress of
the nation; look at Garrison. The feminine
habit of thought is not such as to entitle
them to privileges beyond those they now
enjoy'. No woman was ever a drayman;
no woman ever carried a harp; no woman
ever shoveled a single wheelbarrow of earth
on the public Works. I, trilimphantly ask,
did any w an assist in preparing the Pa;
cific R ' 3? Atroubieseme woman asked
me wine her this wasthe best training for
intelligent participation in'political privi-
leges. She remarked that, judging from the
character of most legislation, these were the
schools in which legislators were trained,
but she hardly believed I would' acknowl-
edge it. Make these the qualifications, said
she, and where would you be, my friend,
who have never attempted one of these?
There are several reasons why women
should not vote. She cannot sing bass;
she delights in millincry goods; she cannot
grow whiskers. In all of these points na-
ture has made a distinction between the
sexes which cannot be overlooked. Custom

as possible. I would not advise a wo-
man to marry repeatedly, or without excr-
cising due caution, in Chicago.
In the matter of wages paid to women, I
do not see how the present scale is to be in-
creased. Although the conservative may
weep over the evils of a system, he must
never do anything to remedy them. There
are laws for all these things,‘the laws of
_ supply and demand. It is a. misfortune, we
think, there are so manydwomen, and we
weep over it. I, for one, am willing to shed
any amount of tears over this great mistake
of nature. But women have themselves to
blame for a great part of the distress they
experience., There is work for more of
them if they would only (lo-it. The kitch-
ens of the country are not half supplied
with intelligent labor, and therein is 0 ref-
uge for all 'women in distress. The women
who fancy themselves oppressed, demand
first the ballot, that they may have power .
to better their condition, and secure a
change -of custom and education, that they
may have free access to whatever employ-
ment they. have strength and capacity to
fill, and to which their inclinations lead
them. Most emphatically, I obj'e'et to give
ing them the ballot 'It would overturn the
whole social. fabric. The social fabric has
been overturned a great many times, it is
true—so many tinies, indeed that it seems
to rather like it'—but I doubt, whether it
would be strong enough to do this. I have
too high, to‘o exalted an opinion .of woman.
I insist that she shall not dabble in the dir-
ty pool of politics, that she shall keep her-
self sacred to her family whether she has
one or not, and under no consideration shall
She go beyond the domestic circle, of which
she is the centre and ornament. Woman
would lose her self-respect if she should
mix with politicians. Most men do and
how should women hope to eseape ? Do
you think a woman could be a member'of
the New York or New Jersey Legislature
and remain pure ? No. I insist that these
things shall be confined to man and
man alone. The mixing of woman in-p
to politics would lower the character _of
woman without elevating that of man. Ink"
agine women button-holing voters as men
do. Imagine her drinking with the lower
classes to succeed as men do, of succeeding
by the grossest frauds as men do, of steal-
ing public money as men do, and finally
of sinking into the lowest as men do. I ob;
ject to giving the ballot to woman because
we want peace ? we do’nt want divided opin.
ion families. As,it now arranged, man
and wife are one, a 11 man that one. Wo~
men of the higher classes, I implore you 'to
think. I Would give the vote to women
and take the chances of the experiment be-
coming zi success. The theory of Republi-
canism is that governing powermust rest
in the bands of the governed. There is no
danger in truth. To withhold it is to dwarf
her, and to dwarf woman is to dwarf the
race.

THE INCOME TAx,—The question of the
continuance of the income tax, as appears
by letters and infbrmntion received at
Washington, is probably the most interest-
ing subject now agitating the public mind.
The Senate finance committee, as has been
stated, bah reported as a substitute for the
House bill a proposition to conti lie the
tax after this year at the rate of three per
cent. In the mean time :emonstranccs are
pouring in upon Senntorsfrom every part
of the country, earnestly protesting against
any further imposition of thejtax.
