PHOEBE CARY.
A Story of one her IJj-mns and Its Ef
fect on Tivo Gnmblcrs in Clilna.
(From the Naw York Tribune.)
One of her liyrns a favorite in
many Christian families and congre
gations we must quote, not only for
its own sake, but because there is a
story connected with it that wo wish
to tell.
' WEARER HOME.
One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to mo o'er and o'er;
I'm nearer my home to-day;
Than lever have been before; '
Nearer my Father's house,
"Where the mansions bo;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea ;
Nearer the bound of life,
"Where we lay our burdens down ;
Nearer leaving the cross.
Nearer gaining the crown. '
. !;
But the waves of that silent sea ,. (a
Roll dark before my sight, .,3 ,
That brightly tho other sldo -i '
Break on a shore of light. , I - u
O, if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink.
If it be I am nearer homo
Even to-day than I think,
Father, perfect my trust,
l..et my spirit f$el in death
That her feet are (Irmly set
On the Rock of a living fulth.
A gentleman in China, intrusted
with packages for a young man from
his friends in the United States,
learned that he would probably be
found in a certain gamblii fj-house.
He went thither, but not seeing the
young man, sat down and waited in
the hope that he might come in.
The place was a bedlam of noises,
men getting angry over their cards,
and frequently coming to blows.
Near him sat two men one young,
the other 40 years of age. They were
betting and drinking in a terrible
way, the older one giving utterance
continually to the foulest profanity.
Two games had been finished, the
young man losing aach time. The
third game, with fresh bottles of
brandy, had just begun, and the
young man sat lazily back in his
chair while the oldest shuffled his
cards. The man was a long time
dealing the cards, and theyoung man,
looking carelessly about the room, be
gan to hum a tune. Ho wont on, till
at length he began to sing the hymn
of Phoebe Cary, above quoted. The
words, says the writer of the story,
repeated in such a vile place, at fir.-t
made me shudder. A sabbath-school
hymn in a gambling den ! But while
the young man sang, the elder stop
ped dealing the card-i, r-turcd at the
singer a moment, and, throwing the
cartls on the iloor, exclaimed: 'Har
rv, where did you learn that tune?
""What tune?" "Why, that one
you've been singing." The young
man said he did not know what he
had been singing, when the elder re
peated the words, with tears in his
eyes, and the young man eaid he had
learned them in a Sunday-school in
America. "Come," said the elder,
getting up; "come, Harry ; here's
what I won from you , go and use it
for some good purpose. As lor me,
as God sees me, I have played my
last game, and drank my last bottle.
have misled you, Harry, and I am
sorry, (jive me your isanu, my ooy,
and say that, for old America's sake,
it" for no other, you wiilquit this in
fernal business." The gentleman
who tells the story (oritrinally pub
lished in The Boston Daily JS'cws)
saw these two men leave the gam-bling-hoTiso
together, and walk away
arm in arm ; and he remarks ; "It
must be a source of great joy to Miss
Cary to know that her lines, which
have comforted so many Christian
hearts, have been the means of awak
ening in the breast of two tempted
and erring men on the other side of
the globe, a resolution to lead a bet
ter life." It was a source of great
joy to r.iis t ary, as we happen to
know. Before us lies a private letter
from her to an aged friend in this
city, with the printed story inclosed,
and contained this comment: "I iu
close the hymn and the story for you,
not because I am vain of the notice,
but because I thought you would feel
a peculiar interest in them when you
know the hymn was written IS years
ago (1S42) in your house. I composed
it in the litte back third story bed
room, one Sunday morning, after
coming from church; audit makes
mc very happy to think that any
word I could say has done a little good
in the world."
V.'OSIAN SUFFRAGE.
Editor Advertiser :
It is one of the sins of erring mor
tals to censure and condemn their fel
lows without knowiifg or enquiring
why they do it. The records of man's
history are written full of this evil
way. The" Woman's Rights" ques
tion has been treated after this man
ner. "When woman first came out
with her demand of "rights," instead
of enquiring if there were justice in
her claim, men and women beganvto
make graces, and throw dirt. If
there is any thing ridiculous in this
movement of the "strong-minded
women," (which there is) vet the
opposition of weak-minded men is
equally as ridiculous.
That man and woman are so equal
ly gifted alike, that if properly cultur
ed and trained they would follow the
same occupation; that both alike
they should commit themselves in
the same bark on the troubled sea of
political strife, and equally fitted to
meet the consequences which may
follow, is a great mistake, and to try
to accomplish it is a sin against human-nature,
an attempt full of peril,
aud must end in defeat. Nature may
be sinned against, but the offender
must pay the penalty. Now admit
ting all this, yet there may be justice
i n uie uemanu ol woman for "rights"
and it would be for the well being of
society if there was more earnest heed
given to this demand. The first
question to be aiked, and answered
too, "Is woman occupying the Dosi-
tionin society her capacity would
promise?" Undoubtedly not. Then
is it not a fair inference, she has a
right, acd she ought to demand the
privilege to attain to the highest de
gree of position her capacity would
carry her? And right here in' the
difficulty, a very ruinous mistake has
been made in the education of wo
man. The very endowment of a gift
of an intelligent being, is evidence
enough, that the possessor has a right
t to its development, and an -exercise
of it. The education of woman in
thousands of cases make but a miser
able exhibition of the beauty of femi
nine character. Properly educate
woman and this vexed question of
"rights" will settle itself without
her rushing into the fields of political
strife, for which her present educa
tion unfits her, and for which her na
ture will forever unfit her. It is not
wise to come into conflict with na
ture and try to change her laws.
If nature has made an individual a
woman, let her be content to be a wo
man. And if man usurps undo au
thority over her, and takes away any
of her " rights" let her remedy these
wrongs in a womanly way, not by
trying to make a man of herself. In
the realm of nature, in the dotnain
of mind, the masculine and femi
nine, the positive and negative are
every where seen. There is a neces
sity in this, and it harmonizes, and
beautifies everything. And an at
tempt to change these conditions is to
arraign the wisdom of the great crea
tive soul of things, the God of nature,
who expresses himself through mate
rial lbrni9 and physical organization.
The masculine power in man is
needed to control the forces in na
ture ; to subdue the inferior animals
and to invent mechanisms,"and to use
the elements so as to aid him in this
subjecting process. Nature always
works in an ascending scale; from the
inferior to the superior; from the
material up to the spiritual. Man
true to this law with his superior
physical strength takes hold of the
grosser forms of matter, refines them
into higher forms, ready for the ac
tion of spiritual forces. Now comes
in the demand for feminine action.
For true womanly character. "Wo
man is weak in inventive power.
She knows but little about placing
"wheel within wheel" so as to move
the "noisy ponderous machineries,
which help man in his laborious
tasks.
This requires intellectual facilties
only. There are higher realms for
man to reach than this. On from the
intellectual up lo the spiritual, and at
last reach the celestial. Now woman
is to work iu these higher realms.
This work requires more delicate, an-' !
sensitive, and refined organizAtio.
of body than for mere thought work,
and woman has this organization.
The very organism which fits her for
this work, unfits her for the hard
work to which man isfitted. Intellect
ual and physical strength will be ad
mired in a man when he possesses
but little moral and spiritual worth,
while intellect and masculine
strength alone in woman, is calcula
ted to create disgust. Some may say
there is injustice in this, and there
may be to a certain extent, yet there
is a great truth at the bottom, which
it would be well to consider in con
nection with the injustice.
The necessity for the masculine dis
appears as man progresses on to ins
destiny. As he parses on .through
the material, the intellectual into the
spiritual, then the greater and bet
ter workers for humanity are those
who would make man more feminine
ins-tead of making woman more mas
culine. It has been said, and in
truth too, that the most perfect char
acter is the one where the dignity of
the masculine unites with the grace
of the feminine, so it cannot be told
which preponderates. Look at the
beautiful character of Jesus, and tell
which preponderates, the masculine
or the feminine. He was a Spiritual
Teacher, and taught great spiritual
truths, which underlay all philoso
phies, all religions, and although this
world has had the benefitof his teach
ings for eighteen hundred years yet
thousands fail to understand them, so
deep a root has material things got in
the heart of man.
But to the question with which we
started, Female Suffrage. Should
woman vote? Thereby stepping into
the ranks of political warfare; fight
ing for the enactment of civil laws,
which at best, are but secondary and
inferior to those "higher laws" to
which all civil enactmeiithould give
way. Perhaps this question has been
answered in what is written, but to
be more definite, in a moral and
healthy state of society woman should
not use her influence in governmental
affairs, in the way of casting her vote
in deciding political questions. But
ocietv is sick, and neetb remedial
agents to restore it to health. When
the human body is diseased, some
times remedies have to be used which
would cause sickness when in health.
This mav be the case in this woman
voting question. In this nineteenth
century events are culminating which
are the result of the conflict of the
ages agone, and the consequences
will bo more favorable conditions
for human happiness. May be this
bitter potion; this woman-voting
may be one of the extreme remedies
to be used to bring about these favor
able conditions. We will see.

Mr. Ediior:-l scarcely recognise the

)VERTISER as represented un-
1 , ,, ,
0 new regime. Allow me to
old Adv
der th'
congratulate you on the very decided i
improvements you have made. Your
notions and mine, 113 to what a news
paper should be, coincide. Make the
Advertiser as thoroughly local as
you can and you will suit your home
readers precisely, while to those at a
distance its weekly visits are better
than a private letter, because your
items are varied and far moreof them
than could be expected from a letter.
I may be a little rambling as to sub
ject matter, but being interested, you
will allow me to ask how it is that
the city council does not enforce from
the Street Commissioner, more thor
ough reports than he has heretofore
made. His reports of monies exepnd
ed upon streets are far too vague. It
would be far more satisfactory to us
tax payers to know how much stone
wall made, dirt removed or fills made
and where it was done for a certain
amount of money, than to say so
much "expended upon streets."
By this plan we would know just
how much per yard we pay for mov
ing dirt aud filling and how much
per foot for stone work. As it is done
we may be paying four or five times
what it is worth or some oue else
would be glad to do it for. It is hop
ed the Council will look into this
matter.
I discover Mr. Calhoun has resign
ed his position of director of the Re
publican party. It was amusing to
notice the manner of his "chewing"
his own words a week or two since,
when he told the people ho found
plenty lo do in attending to his own
business. But a few weeks before he
announced that he had and should
keep under his care tho Republican
party of Nemaha County, but as soon
as you tender him a little aid he backs
down and sniffles out that he isn't
running the Republican party. I re
ally believe the fellow thought he
was dopg i tali, m"i - cuf or two
from ycu knocked tkcjrer.le from his
eyes. He's a great booby and de
serves more ." bs nc",:rniserated with

I see
'vcrtia a notice of an
election to vote a s1n3.Il subsidy to the
Trut . R. Pu. What Is this extra $18,
000 for? Wi'i ii take just S1S.00O more
to build this road? and if we give it,
will the road be built? Who now pro
poses to take hold and do the work ?
When is it to be done? Any time
soon, or is the subsidy voted to be
open for all time to come and be ta
ken up just when somebody gets
ready to build tho road ? The people
are anxious for a road and are willing
to give, and have shown their kindly
feeling, but they have beer, bo long
and so often fooled that confidence is
lost. What is tho Brownville & Ft.
K. R. R. Co. doing? Are they play

If this Company would make a fair

they'd do far better, than to keep in
