JUST AND FEAR NOTI LET ALL THE

RICHMOWW, WAYIVE CO.VIIVDm

From the New York Ledger. :3 - .HAPPY WOMEN. J 1 - By H39 j,. 2fa ALCOTT. i . - ; , One of the trials of woman-kind is the fear of being an old maid. To escape, this dreadful doom, young girls rush into matrimony with a recklessness which astonishes the beholder ; never pausing to remember that the loss of liberty, happiness and : self-respect is poorly repaid by the barren, honor of being "Mrs." instead of "Miss." ' Fortunately,-this ' foolish prejudice is fast disappearing, conquered by the success of a certain class belonging to the sisterhood. This class is composed of superior women who, from various causes, remain single, and devote themselves to some earnest work; espousing philanthrophy, art, literature, music, medicine, or whatever task, taste, necessity, or chance suggests, and remaining faithful to and as happy in their choice as married women with husbands and homes. It being my good fortune to knov several such, I venture to offer a little sketch of them to those of my young countrywomen who, from choice or necessity, stand alone, seeking to find the happiness which is the right of all. Here is L , a rich man's daughter; pretty, accomplished, sensible and good. She tried fashionable life and found that it did not satisfy her. No lover was happy enough to make a response in her heart, and at twenty-three she looked about her for something to occupy and iutercst her. She was attracted toward the study of medicine; became absorbed in it; went alone to Paris and London; studied faithfully; received her diploma, and, having practiced successfully for a time, was appointed the resident physician of a city hospital. Here, doing a truly womanly work, she finds no time for ennui, unhappiness, or the vague longing for something to fill heart and life, which leads so many women to take refuge in frivolous or dangerous amusements and pursuits. She never talks of her mission or her rights, but beautifully fulfills the one and quietly assumes the others. Few criticise or condemn her course, and none question her success. Respected and beloved by all who know her, she finds genuine satisfaction in her work, and is the busiest, happiest, most useful woman whom I know. Next come M., a brilliant, talented girl, full of energy, ambition and noble aspirations. Poor, yet attractive, through natural gifts and graces, to her came the great temptation of such a girl's life a rich lover; an excellent young man, but her inferior in all respects. She felt this, and so did he"; but hoping that love would make them equals, he urged his suit. "If I loved him," she said, "my way would be plain, and I should not hesitate a minute. , But I do not; I've tried, and I am sure I never can feel toward him as I should. It is a great temptation, for' I long to cultivate my talent to help my family, to see the world and enjoy life, and all this may be done if I say, 'Yes.'. . People tell me that I am foolish to reject this good fortune; that it is my duty to accept it; that I shall get on very well without love, and talk as if it were a business transaction. It is hard to say, 'No;' but I must, for in marriage I want to look up,, not down. I can not make it seem right to take this offer, and I must let it go, for I dare not sell my liberty." . She made her choice, turned away from the pleasent future laid before her, and took up her load again. With her one talent in her hand d'.rc faced poverty, cheerfully, .teaching music, ; year after year, hoping alvva3's, complaining never, and finding: herself a stronger,, happier woman for the act: A richer woman also; for; though the husband was lost, a true friend was gained since the lover, with respect added to his"- love, said manfully; "She is right: God bless her!" S. is poor, plain,' ungifted and ordinary in all 1 things but one a .cheerful, helpful spirit, and can not rest till it has proved its sincerity. -: -Few, so placed, would have lived forty hard, dull years without becoming either sharp and sour, or bitter, and blue. - But S- isAas sweet and sunny as a child: - and, to those who know her, the personification of content The only talent she possesses is .that of loving every helpless, suffering, forlorn, and outcast creature whom she meets. Finding her 'round of home duties too small for her benevolence, she became one of the home missionaiies, whose reports are never read, whose salaries are never paid on; earth. P verty, stricken homes, sick beds, sinful souls and sorrowing hearts attract her as irresistibly as pleasure attracts other women, and she faithfully ministers to such, unknown and unrewarded- , . ... "I never had a lover, and I never can have; you know.? I'm r so , plain,'', she says, with a smile that is pathetic in its humility, its unconscious wistf ulnees. She is mistaken here; ' for, there are

ENDS THOU AIM'ST AT, BE THY many to whom that plain face is beautiful, 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, I am sure S. will be blessed with eternal beauty, happiness and love.' A. is a woman of a strongly individual type, who in the course of an unusu ally varied experience has seen so much of what a wise man has Called "the tragedy of modern married life," that she is afraid to try it. Knowing that for one of a peculiar nature like herself such an experiment would be doubly hazardous, she has obeyed instinct and became a chronic old maid. Filial and fraternal love must satisfy her, and grateful that such ties are possible, she lives for them and is contented Literature is a fond and faithful spouse, and the little family that has sprung up around her, though perhaps unloving and uninteresting to others, is a profitable source of satisfaction to, her maternal heart. After a somewhat tempestuous voyage, she is glad to find herself in a quiet haven whence she can look back upon her vanished youth, and feel that though the blossom time of life is past, a little fruit remains to ripen in the early autumn coming on. Not lonely, 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. My sisters, don't be ' afraid of the words, "old maid," for it is in your power to make this a term of honor, not reproach. It is not necessary to be a sour, spiteful, spinster, with nothing to do but brew tea, talk scandal and tend a 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 opportunity 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 God's name and be worthy of its best blessings. If it never comes, then in God's name reject the shadow of it, for that can never satisfy a 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 woman's tenderest ties. Be true to 3'ourselves; cherish 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 fa lure, but a beautiful success. WOMAN'S WORK. Mrs. L. Maria Child contributes an article on this subject, which is well worthy of consideration. Mrs. Child is too well known in this country as a writer and as an honest exponent of good, sound sense, to require any com; ment in this connection. In the course of the article referred to, she relates the following anecdote illustrative of what a woman may do, who is actuated by , good motives, and a desire rather to be useful than conspicuous : , "I have an acquaintance in the middle class of society, the income of whose business was a comfortable support for his wife, and three daughters. The eldest of the girls found much of her time unoccupied, -except with unproductive fanc3T- , work,' and she said to her mother: Why. should-we ail be dependent , upon father for support?-. If he should die, how helpless we should be. And even, if he lives and is able to work for a Jong lime to come, we might relieve him from much care and anxiety by our exertions, and we might greatly increase our own opportunities for improvement.'. She followed out these ideas by fitting, herself to be a book-keeper. Not satisfied with a small salary, she diligently applied her spare hours to acquiring a thorough, knowledge .of French and Spanish; and having an . object in viewj she, learned rapidly. , When she, was able to write commercial letters in those languages, she soon commanded a salary of fifteen-hundred . dollars.- ;Every morning she walked into the 'city with her. father, where they parted to go to their, separate places of . business, and met to return home together in. the afternoon. Most fashionable women had probably taken upas much time spending money during the day, as shejhad in earning it.".,., .. (; -- We desire also to quote from an arti-. J cle written ,by another lady, which appeared in the Tribune a few daysgince The testimony of women of sense" 'on this subject, is of more value than any (hing we could write on the subject.--

GOD'S, THY COUNTRY'S AND TRUTH'S!"

APRIL. 18G8, In the course of her remarks the writer goes on to say : "But it is not true that ladies desire only to . engage in the learned professions. We know there are many of the so called common pur suits which woman's strength will not permit her to follow, but there are others, not open to the same objection, in which ladies are now engaged. In the village where this is written, the duties of the post office, and of the telegraph office are fulfilled, and worthily, too, by ladies; and others of the same sex occupy positions as clerks and book keepers. They have the respect and esteem of all, and no one thinks them any the less womanly because they occupy the positions usually filled by men." It is in some such way, as indicated by these two lady writers, that women may turn a life of idleness or worthlessness into one of usefulness. The provisions made now-a-days by the system of commercial education, offer to the female sex all the advantages without any of the rudeness and harshness of business experience, and enable them to occupy remunerative and honorable positions in life without deserting their families or homes. WOllK OR STARVE. This is the law and penalty from which there is no escape. Thousands are trying to evade it; some by making their fellow men work for them, others by depending on money inherited or accumulated in former years, but without avail. If idle, they starve in the midst of plenty. " They may eat to the full, but eating without exercising is against the law of Nature, and very soon the stomach refuses to digest the food, the body is not nourished, and the man literally starves though he may feel no hunger. The hands,, the brain, and the heart must work to live. If you dodge the labor of learning lessons, you at the same time miss the strength of intellect which mental work brings, and the mind will pine for want of nourishment. Thousands have starved their wits in this way, until they wonder how it is that others carry away all the prizes in life. Many starve their hearts by never exercising them with noble emotions. Selfishnees eats into the nature like a canker, leaves the man hungry for affection, but love is the price for love, and he that will not work in this field must accept the penalty. It is an error to think that work was a penalty imposed on man for having violated God's command. Man's nature is such that activity is the law of his being. Every muscle and nc rve calls for em ployment that it may remain in health, and there can scarcely be a more terri , ble punishment than solitary confinement, where the eye, the ear, and the hands must reman idle. A slow, painful death ' will surely result. So then, boys and girls, strive to love work and not shun it. Though you may be as rich as Astor or Stewart in money, yet your own nature will suffer the pangs of poverty without active exercise. THE COST OF A POUND OF TEA. It is instructive and sometimes profitable, as well aj curious, to examine the way in which the cost of a commodity is piled up between producer and consumer by freights, handling, duties, exchange, and the commissions and profits of middlemen. Tea, for example, is sold by the grower in China and Japan at various prices, from about fifteen to thirty cents a pound. ' With freights added, it is &aid to cost when laid down in any of our principal seaports an average of about fifty cents in gold a pound for superior brands of "chops." Taking this as a starting point, the additional; charge3 before it reaches the table of the consumer are said to accumulate as follows : Original cost of tea, imported, 60 cents; discount on the currency to pay for it, 20 cents; duty in gold 25 cents; discount on the currency to make up for the gold, 15 cents; contingencies, 10 cents; profit of importer, 12 cents; profit ' of jobber, 13 cents; profit of 'retailor, say 28 cent3. Total, $1,74. Of this forty-five cents are comprised in three profits, thirty-five cents in duties, and ten cents in contingencies; in all 81,24, in addition to the costs on board ships at our wharves. ' Before the war the cost would have been about as follows : Original : cost, imported, 60 cents; 10 per - cent, for contingencies; discount 5 cents; profit of importers 5 cents; profit of jobber, 6 cents: profit to the retailer, 14 cents.

If the Senate convict 5 the President, the difference thenceforth between An-: drew Johnson and Teddy O'Flaherty will be that the latter is eligible to office while the former can never again rise even to the dignity of Alderman of a village. An ex-President is said to have been elected' Road master of his town. The rumor that Mr. Johnson would again swing round the circle" in vindication of his course may express his present intentions, but a few speeches to empty houses would cure him of that distemper. "The King is dead Live the King!" will be the cry of the people. The public interest will be transferred instantaneously to the Hon. Benjamin F. Wade and his new Cabinet, that it will seem surprising that so intrinsically insignificant an individual as Andrew Johnson could have occupied attention so long, or that such formidable efforts were required to get rid of him. Should impeachment succeed. Mr. Wade will come into the Presidency by operation of the Constitution instead of by popular election. He was virtually chosen for the Presidency by the Senate, since the contingency of Johnson's removal was in the mind of the Senate when they chose him for presiding officer. He was elected more from a sense of his fitness for the Presidency of the United States than from his superiority as a presiding officer of the Senate. Mr. Wade would give the couutry a vigorous administration, in harmony with the laws and opinions of Congress. The vast benefits of such an administration can only be estimated by reflecting how absolutely all the functions' of Government are blocked, and the country left to drift without helm, by that system of resistance to the laws and attempted tyranny over Congress which Johnson has styled "my policy." Reconstruction is arrested. Labor, the mother of all wealth at ,the South, is unsafe; Capital avoids that region as a people would flee from the plague. The South is poorer by millions of dollars than when the war closed. It cannot return to order and progress until the broken-down aristocracy and eroan.1 cipated freemen feel the protecting and coercing hand of a humane but vigorous government. This they woulJ feel with Benjamin F. Wade as President. Rebels will abandon their hopes of ruling the South. "Kuklux" clans will be broken up. The strife over the suffrage question would be superceded by the quiet power of a universal ballot, which is universal peace. The whites would take an active part in reconstruction. State Governments, representing the majority of all the people, and yet administered by loyal men, acting un der sound Constitutions, would apply for admission to the Union and be admitted. The whole South would stop swearing, boasting and wrangling, and go to Work. Only in proportion as the South works out its own, salvation can its chivalric nose be lifted from the grindstone All that i3 needed to accomplish this is the immediate and certain return to power.; of those , Republican principles which were' vindicated by the election, and '"betrayed by the recreant administration', of Andrew '. -Johnson. Mr. Wade's accession to the Presidency, with the certainty that he will be followed by Gen. Grant, would give the South the certainty it needs. Our systems of revenue and taxation are almost in chaos. Mr. Johnson's whole attention has been l! devoted, not to the appointment of officers who would enforce the laws and honestly collect the revenues, but to secure satraps, however rascally or incompetent, who would sustain or pretend to. sustain his policy. ; As4 nobody but himself ever, sincerely, believed in his policy, - hypocracy was the first qualification' for an office-holder. Mr., Johnson has had no . time nor disposition to inquire , whether ; our 'revenue collectors were licensed Government thieves; it has taxed all his energies to hunt up politicians who could be bought. He did not stop to" think that one whom he could buy with an office anybody could buy with money: Hence, from one end of the land to the other, departments of the revenue which were honestly administered under Mr. Lincoln have become sinks . of corrup-; tion under -Mr. ; Johnson .Thia rotten-, ness in office spreads its malaria among the people, for. tax-payers who feel that their tax collectors are thieves rush to the conclusion that they will stop paying ,, taxes; and when, as in the collection , of the whiskey tax, the thieves pocket five dollars where the: Government collects one, there is , a strong provocation forsuch a r resolution.- Hence Johnson's official patronage of rascality has a direct effect to lowe the credit of the Government . and invite , repudiation. Hence , every repudiator sympathizes with him. Mr.. Wade ia an honest man

The legislation of Congress in every respect necessary to relieve the suffering financial condition "of the country", is' almost suspended, assailed by a vast ' army of . office-holders, , whose leader .. seeks only to employ them in resisting the laws. . Congress . has had, .hardly , time to discuss other measures than t those necessary to defend its own rights; and if its discussion should result in the '"' passage of laws, it is of no use, since they cannot be executed. The country needs comprehensive financial policies, a sound currency, a safe system of, banking, retrenchment, and reform in many departments. Congress can give ' even less attention to all this with a rebel in the White House than it could -while the rebels were merely in sight of the Capitol, but had not effected an entrance. But with Mr. .Wade's accession, Congress could devote its whole attention to the practical questions of finance, revenue, taxation, retrenchment and reform. With Reconstruction placed in course of speedy mconsumation, and our revenue and finances vigorously, economically and honestly administered, there . is no remaining reason why the country should not enter at once on the highest degree of commercial and business prosperity. Labor and capital would resume their wonted activity. Enter-" prise would succeed stagnation. Mines and factories now closed would be reopened.

Incombustihlb Wood. According to Mi Schattenman's experiments, there is an easy and cheap way of rendering wood incombustible; it consists in coating with cloride of lime. It is true this will only protect the surface, but it will prevent the flames from spreading. Chloride of lime, or more properly chloride of calcium, is obtained on a ; large scale by decomposing bones with hydro-, chloric acid, which dissolves the calcareous parts without attacking the gelatine they contain. This neutral and liquid chloride marks 14 Baume's areometer and contains 15 per cent, of anhydrous chloride. To' this liquid an equal weight of slaked lime should bo added, and it may then be applied to the woodwork to be preserved. The operation should be repeated twice with a common white-wash brush. The cost is at the rate of about 5 francs per hundred square metres, the liquid costing If., and the rest being the man's wages. When chloride of lime cannot be had, it may be made by treating chalk with hydro-chloric acid. To test the incombustibility of wood prepared in this way," take a few bricks and enclose a square with them; fill up the space with a kilogramme of straw, place three wooden' laths across coated as above, then put another row of bricks upon the first, and place three nncoated laths across. Haying well secured them, set fire to the straw, when the upper or uncoated laths will catch fire and be completely consumed in five or six minutes, while the lower ones, protected by their coat ing, will only glimmer and be carbonized where the flames touch them; but will everywhere else be safe from com bustion. Fir should be selected for the experiment Galtgnani The Chattanooga Union tells the fol lowing sad story: , . T , ? rr.. ! Last Thursday, near Tilton, Ga., as a freight train on the W A A Railroad was coming this way, the engineer dis covered, a little child ,- playing alone on the road, and manifestly too young to be conscious of its danger. He immediately rversed his engine and whistled on the brakes, but seeing that, in spite of; this, ; the train would - run beyond where the child was, he leaped from his engine and made a desperate attempt to save -. the little onev but failed, the train roilling ioyer it and cutting it in two just as he' reached if.'; (The' mother ' of the child, Mrs. Blackburn, a very ; worthy woman, arrived at the spot just in time to see her child perish, but too late to save it from ' the awful destruc tion.
