EoiToit Colu.iiiuj. Journal:
ItHiuviiix your paper to be open
loall progressive views, and remem
bering" your reason given for voting
ayc" on the subject of woman suff
rage, as presented to our last legis
lature, I shall venture to intrude a
few thoughts in the columns of the
JouitifAL. ou that much-abused sub
ject, Woman Suffrage, or, equal
righto, for man and woman.
It is not proposed, however, to
discuss in these remarks the ques
tion of woman's ability to fill this
important station equally with mau.
That has been demonstrated to most
minds by the work which she has
done and is still doing. But these
Hues arc given to the public in the
hope that some one will take up the
subject and discuss it in a manner to
awaken public sentiment to a more
favorable feeling toward this meas
urc,which, rightly understood, means
the moral elevation of the human
family.
It is well known that there is an
association in this city called the
" Woman Suffrage Association of
Columbus." The wisdom of this
step has becu called in questiou by
its opponents in this place, as well
as in all others, when such organiza
tions have proclaimed their views to
the public, and in consequence of
this, it seems necessary to correct an
impression which prevails in the
minds of both sexes to an extent,
namely: That the object of those
ladies who are foremost tu the work
is to gratify an ambition for power,
and to gain an equal looting with
man, because she has a right to it.
This is au erroneous idea. True, the
primary object sought was and is, to
gain the ballot; but the objects
sought to be accomplished under the
exercise of this power arc manifold.
There is work to be done, which is
pre-eminently woman's work, and
which cannot be done while the law
restricts her to a limited use of its
power. This is proven by the lact
that the desired results have been
sought to be accomplished through
the influence of good men who have
gone iuto the halls of legislation to
bring about right and justice. But
yet the reforms which we have most
hoped, and labored and prayed for,
arc beyond our reach, ever eluding
our utmost diligence to attain them ;
till weary of waiting and expecting,
we have come to believe it no longer
a duty to sit idly waiting, while vice
is so active that crime stalks in our
midst and taunts us with out inabil
ity to control it, but we believe the
time has conic for us to assume the
responsibilities which are crowding
upon us and demanding acceptance
at our hands. Wr. now have a. little
over one year to prepare for the
chauge which we expect will bo
made by adding to our state consti
tution the amendment which will
give us the right of sutlrage. Alter
that, there will be work to do which
will need trained hands and minds,
and the time is not too long in
which to prepare for it.
As this is woman's work, it de
mands the support and sympathy of
woman to accomplish a satisfactory
result, both in securing the adoption
of the measure by tho legislature
and the work in other directions.
The reluctance of tho ladies to
enter this field of reform may bo
caused by the fear of being classed
among tho oppressed, and this, ad
ded to the fact, that they are well
cared for and have all the rights
they caro to exercise, is keeping
them aloof from lending a helping
hand to those who need better pro
tection. Let us look at the matter a mo
ment. What if such a fear had
gained the mastery over tho spirits
of the reformers who have preceded
us? Are we to-day in tho enjoy
ment of any reforms which do not
make our lives brighter aud better?
And have not all of these had their
martyrs? And, again, who of us
are not glad to join iu the victor's
song of triumph?
We are aware, also, that there is
an objection to this move from a
fear that it will causo discord in the
domestic relations. This is an ob
jection which would deserve accept
ance if it were true. But why it
should bo true, is not evident. It is
difficult to see why the discussion of
tho evening paper between a man
and his wife, shoud cause more dis
cord than if the part under discus
sion should be the fashions, or any
other minor part which she is sup
posed to understand. We are in
clined to think that an allusion to
some of these subjects would cause
a demand which if not gratified,
would cause more discord, than if
both agreed to put any little spice of
unpleasantuess which they might be
harboring on the back of some aspi
rant for office who perhaps would be
at such a distance that no great
harm could come to the object of
attack. But, seriously, we ask,Why
should discord be produced by plac
ing a man and his wife on equal
footing?
But it is still further objected to,
because it is thought it will, make
woman less refined, give her places
and positions which will embolden
and coarsen her nature. To this, it
is answered, that all the experiences
uf the past, in that direction, point
fo a different conclusion.
Where woman has walked in the
tunc path of duty or pleasure with
;u, tUnri the has received the
XfiULtturl iimu and protection. The
ujote tm Utm hwu his equal, the
J4W -hc ha lifeini beyond the
power of harm, not by the power of
personal torce, but by the compell
ing force of tho better part of mau'b
nature to respect and rcycrencc her.
Aud as woman's sphere increases,
tho haunts of vice and places of re
sort which it is not now considered
proper for her to entor (even iu
search of a loved one) will diminish,
until there shall bo no place where a
man may not, with propriety, take
his vrife, sister or daughter.
Does any one exclaim against such
a state of affairs?
Well, on what ground do you ob
ject: Is man, by nature, so deprav
ed flat only a portion of his time i6
proper to be spent in the aocioty of
ladies? Certaiuly not. The condi
tions which have established this
state of affairs have arisen in conse
quence of a wrong education. I
refer to the general education of old
practices aud laws whereby woman
has been kept at home while her
sons were being ruined abroad.
The proof of the fact that man is
better for being in the society of the
good and true at home is, that tho
best and noblest of men are the ones
who have spent most time in the
aocioty of, aud hearkened to the
com sels of, their mothers. History
will bear me out in this assertion.
And if some families are capable of
proc uciug such good results by
cqur lizing the pursuits of knowledge
aud happiness among its mcmbers
both undo and female, why can it
not be attained to in all others by
doirg away with the petty tyran
nies which make woman au inferior
iu the minds of sous and husbands?
A ad we who know what womau
may do, if she have the legal right,
is it, we ask, just aud right for us to
refuse to help those who need help
to rise to a higher life?
"We know that so long aB a vestige
of the old relic of barbarism re
mains, which makes a man more
powerful, iu the eyes of the law,
than woman, so long there will be
brutes (in the form of men) who
wil! exercise their control over the
live? and happiness of those depend
ent upon them, and it is also well
known that the most wretched con
ditions of life are produced under a
syst2tn of servilo bondage, either of
bod, or mind, and this phase of life
is repeating itself daily in our large
cities, aud wo need not look far to,
sec the effect upon our lesser com
mm ities. Now let freedom of
thought aud action take the place of
fear and despair, and note tho result.
We need not fear tho revolution
whi:h will follow. Tho separate
portions of right and wrong will
adji st themselves more quietly than
might be supposed. The right gain
ing strength till wrong shall no
longer bear rule, having no one to
ruin iniritcr it.
This is not a visionary sketch, it is
only carrying out the idea of living
"Fo the right, that needs assiMrnce,
For the wrong, that needs resistance,
For all human ties that bind us,
For the tasks by God assigned us,
Am the good that we ean do."

You want some good advice. It
has ruiucd many a man, but may not
harm you, because you will not fol

bo not afraid to work, and diligent
ly, loo, with your own hands; treat
eve-y one with civility and respect;

ndustry overcome all difficulties;
never be mean rather give than
tako the odd shilling; never post
pone till to-morrow what can be
dore to-day ; never anticipate wealth
from any source but labor; honesty
is 1 ot only the best policy, but the
only policy ; commence at the first
round aud keep climbing; make
yotr word as good as your bond;
seel; knowledge to plan, enterprise
to jxecutc, honesty to govern all;
never trade bcy.oud your stock ; nev
er 2five too large credit; time is
moioy; make few promises; keep
your secrets; live within your in
come; sobriety above all things;
luck is a word that does not apply to
a si cccssful man ; not too much cau
tionslow but sure is tho thing; the
highest monuments are built piece
by piece ; step by step we mount the
pyiamids; be bold bo resolute
when the clouds gather, difficulties
are surmounted by opposition; self
cocfidence, self-reliance is your cap
ital ; your conscience the best moni
tor; never be over-sanguine, but do
not underrate your own abilities;
doi't be discouraged; ninety-nine
mar say no, tho hundredth, yes;
take off your coat; roll up your
sleeves; don't be afraid of manual
labor ! America is large enough for
all strike out for the west the sea
shore cities are too crowded; the
best letter of introduction is your
own energy; lean ou yourself when
yo-i walk ; keep good company ; the
Spmiards say, if you lie down with
uogs you will get op with fleas;
ke p out of politics unless you are
sure to wiu you ere never sure to

Commending a right thing is a
cheap substitute for doing it, and
with this we are apt to satisfy ourselves.

Tho gate.-' had just boen thrown
open at the railroad station ou Man
hattan Beach, and a large crowd was
struggling to make its way past the
gate keepers, who refused to let a
single ticket go by unpunched. A
dozen men and women had squeezed
through the gatos aud were bustling
rapidly toward the cars, though
there was no apparout object to be
attaiued by haste, when a fat little
man with a yellow valiso shuffled
through the gateway, aud, seeing a
few passengers in front of him, bolt
ed at full speed toward tho cars. A
reporter was standing by, and ho
thought: "This man must surely
have known that there were at least
ten cars atauding upon the track,
every one of them vacant. What
can have been the object of his
haste? Tho mystery was not eluci
dated by the almost equal precipita
tion of a half a dozen others, both
men and women, who followed hard
upon the heols of tho winner of the
race. Anxious to know the cause
of these people's agitation, tho re
porter seated himself beside the little
man who had first attracted his at
tention, and inquired:
"Why, may I a9k, were you and
those other people running?"
The mau thrust his chiu forward,
aud rubbed his temple with his
knuckles, wrinkling his brow at the
same time with a puzzled expression.
"Because," the reporter continued,
"you kuow there was a long train
without a soul in it, and you could
not have anticipated a lack of room."
"Why," said the man, brightening
up, it wasn't for the room, but I al
ways make it a point to get at the
head of a crowd. Most people in
tho city do, you kuow, but it isn't
often I get left. Some of the people
at tho gate kept me back or I should
have been out sooner, but I mauaged
to get ahead of them after all. No,
sir, it takes a good pressing man to
beat yours truly."
"You gaiu a good deal of satis
faction from being at the front, I
suppose?"
"Of course, everybody does. If
you have to do a thing do it up
brown; that's my principle. I have
a boy at home, and I toll him almost
every night, Mohnie,' I say, 'mind
you don't lot the people get ahead
of you.' And that boy hasn't missed
boing oil tho ferry boat first but
once in three months, and that was
because he fell down. lie's a chip
of the old block, that" boy, and I'm
proud of him."
"What if evorbody tried to bo
first?"
"Why, then, wo'd give them i
sharp tussle, I tell you. It isn't ev
erybody that can succeed in this
world, but those of us that are for
tunate have reason to be proud, I
think."
"Do you get rich faster for your
push ?"
"Well," said the man, ruefully, "if
I don't, my boy will.''
At this point tho engine whistled
and the little man snatched up his
portmanteau and srathered himself
together for the rush. No sooner
did the spoed of the train slacken
than he dived from his sent aud
leaped upon the platform. Iu a mo
ment he had disappeared through
the gate, struggling manfully to dis
tance a gaunt competitor, who was,
no doubt, compelled ultimately to
yield to the superior enterprise of
the energetic little man.
Our Wire.
A young
woman during the first
week of her married life entertains
vague suspicions that the statements
of older wives, that the way to a
man's heart is through his mouth,
are true. Her Charles, who is al
most, if not quite, exempt from
human failings, has already man
ifested a profound admiration for
veal pies, and has openly expressed
his detestation to overdone mutton.
She accordingly builds up within
her a fortress of resolution, in which
to guard that sacred treasure of a
husband's affection. Iu her girl
hood this young woman. had spent
much time in cultivating her mus
ical taste, in reading Emerson and
Carlyle;sho had been beard to de
clare with pride that when she mar
ried Bbe would givo up none of
these things.
Let us visit her now, at tho end of
ten years of matrimony, and we will
find that she has broken her vow
and thrown it to tho winds. We
find a tiresome Bort of person, whose
whole intellect is absorbed in at
tending to the cares of house-keeping,
and In getting stylish dresses
for her children. Her conversation
rises seldom above the level of infant
gossip and servants, and the only
ideas developed by time and ex
perience are expressed in her con
viction that men are the most un
reasonable and selfish of creatures,
and women the most abused and
self-sacrificing.
Thero is a great evil somewhere,
but what is it? Tho husband ac
knowledges to himself that be is
disappointed in tho wife ho has
chosen, and yet he finds difficulty in
pointing out his mistake, and hardly
finds cause to blame her, for is she
not a faithful wife, a devoted mother
and a most frugal manager? The
mistake is a national characteristic.
So passionate and intense is tho
American mind in pursuit of its
temporary interests, the men will
suffer tho chains of business to bind
them down and throttle them, whil
iheir wives bond beneath a similar
yoke of duty at home.
What is lucking is tho power to
rise abovo the petty uuiioyauccs of
daily life; we need to learn to dis
tinguish trifles from affairs of mo
ment, to know that every mole-hill
is not a mountain. Wo need not
forsako tho upper strata of sentiment,
thought and ideality tho atmos
phere of the soul because we know
that there is a lower one of routino
and small vexatious, in which our
feet aro told to tread. To breathe iu
the one is to receive strength and
refreshment for exertion iu the
other. It is a good plan to pick up
needles aud pins from tho floor, but
picking pins ought not to be made the
chief object of existence; for if we
move along with our heads con
stantly downward wo most assuredly
will see nothing bolter than pins and
needles to the end of our days.
Juxt Treatment of Children.
Philanthropy shines out in tho age
we live iu. Thero arc numberless
societies for the encouragement of
that fellow-feeling which makes tho
whole world kin and kind, and
which ought to do so; but there are
still some little wrongs to be righted,
grievances which are overlooked
because they aro small. ' There is, I
believe, no society which has for its
aim the just treatment of children,
who have both fathers and mothers
and who live in pleasant homes.
Yet there is great need that atten
tion should occasionally be directed
to the fact that many children so
situated suffer from injustice. Chil
dren aro tried aud condemned by
the family tribunal for offenses of
which they aie guiltless; they are
corrected for a breech of good man
ners when they were simply follow
ing examples constantly set for them
by older members of tho family.
Thej aro reproved bofore company
iu a way which must lessen their
self-respect. They are often unnec
essarily disregarded and overlooked.
I have seen a little boy or girl with
eyes beaming with pleasure at the
adveut of 6ome visitor who, when
he arrived, did not take the slightest
notice of the child ; not so much as
of the dog who runs up and gives a
friendly sniff at his heels. "It is al
most impossible," said a lady the
other day. "to teach my children to
be polite to people; there are so
mauy who come to the house who
do not acknowledge the presence
of the children by a nod oven." One
likes to think, iu view of this, of the
picturo given by Ilaydon of the
Duke of Wellington as he saw him
one day surrounded by six healthy,
happy children, who were begging
for some ol his tea; he promised it
to them ou condition that they
would not slop it on him as they did
the day before. Of course, no sen
sible father or mother can wish their
children to monopolize the attention
of a guest, but they must desire that
they shall be treated politely. Noth
ing can be more disagreeable than it
forward child who rudely interrupts
aud annoys those about it. Another
grievance which children have (o
complain of is that their right to
property is not respected, their toys
and books being sometimes
even given away without their
knowledge or consent. It really
seems that tho best way to teach
children to respect tho rights of oth
ers is by respecting their own. If
we wish our children to bo just, gen
erous and kind, wo must bo all
these ourselves. The child has his
placo in the house, his right to be
there. Ho owes obedienco aud al
logianco to his parents, aud they also
owe much to him. It would do no
harm for us all to road once in a
whilo that song, boginning, 'My
child, we were children once." iV.

At a spiritual seance at Shclbiua,
Mo., an editor was told that a de
parted friend desired to speak to
him. The connection was made, and
the friend proved to be a former
editor who desired to say a few
words. He said he desired to in
form his old delinquent subscribers
who had promised to bring in wood
on subscriptions, that they needn't
do it, as the management where he
was furnished tho fuel. He said
they might send ice, however.
Hero we havo an Oyster. It is
going to a Church Pair. When it
gets to the Fair it will Swim around
in a big Kettle of Warm Water. A
Lady will Stir it with a Spoon, and
Sell tho Warm Water for Two Bits
a pint. Then tho Oyster will move
on to the next Fair. In this Way
the Oyster will visit all the Church
Fairs in town, and Bring a great
many Dollars into tho Treasury.
The Oyster goes a great Way iu a

From VOL. L. T. FOSTER.
Youngstown, O., Mav 10, 1S80.
Dr. II. J. Kendall & to..Ge"nt.:-l had
a ven valuable Hambletonlian colt
which I prized very highly; he had a
large bone spaiuo:i one joint and a
.-mailer one on the other which made
him very lame; 1 had him under the
charge of two A'eterlnarv Surgeons
which failed to cure him." I was one
day reading the advertisement of Ken
dall's Spavin Cure in the Chicago E.v
pre.s, I determined at once to trv it
and got our Druggists here to end for
it, they ordered three bottles; 1 took
them all and thought I would give it a
thorough trial, I med it according to
directions and by the fourth day the
colt cea-ed to be" lame, and the lump
had entirely disappeared. I used but
one bottle and the colt limbs areas free
trom lumps and as smooth as any horse
iu the state. He is entirely cured. The
cure was so remarkible that 1 let two
of my neighbors have the remaining two
bottles, who are now using it. 'er
Respectfully, L. T. Fostkk. "

Dr. R. J. Kendall .t Co., Gents: In
reply to your letter I will say that my
experience with " Kendall'.- Spavin
Cure" has been very satisfactory in
deed Three or four years ago l" pro.
cured a bottle of your agent, and with
it, cured a horse of lameness caused by
a spavin. La-t seasoti my horse became
very lame and I turned 'him out for a
few weeks when he became better, but
when 1 put him on the road he grew
nor.-e. when I discovered that a ring
bone was forming. 1 procured a bottle
of Kendall's Spavin Cure and with It sh
than a bottle cured him so that he i not
lame, neither can the bunch be tiuud.
