WORSE THAN DEATS.
The drunkard’s wife! What a
poor, untor.tunaie creature ! She
deserves our most profound commis
eration ! What a sad spectacle of
patient suffering J What tongue or
pen can describe her withered hopes
and blasted prospects ? She left the
paternal roof, where she had never
experienced aught but love, kind
ness and affection, to be the wife,
to share th.e joys and sorrows to the
end ol lile, of ihe man tbai whaslte)
has transformed into a brute ! Tin
Spring of her m.arried life was b rigid
and beautiful—flowers Bloomed
along her path, while the I?ifds sung
their sweetest lays. Her young
heart bounded then with hope and
joy ; but a great change has taken
place. Her once bright sky has
become o’erspread with dark clouds.
Her sweetest aspira lions, hopes and
expectations are completely crushed
Her heart is broken ! Her peace,
joy and happiness forever fled : so
far as this world is concerned She
looks first upon her little children,
then upon the poor, rei-eyed sol in
the corner. Her heart) sinks within
her—what pen can liainl her trou*
bles and trials ; yet mow gieat her
fortitude, and bow ancpmpl.tining.
Her heart may he ready 10 bursi
with grief—her sweej. face may ex
hibit dark spots left hy the (jlovrs ol
a fiendish hushaud ;jyet, her tongue
refuses lo reveal the diabolical treat
ment received from )r>e who prom
ised, at the hymeiial altar, in the
presence of God anil man, to “love
and comfort her.'' I
Should not our Legislature, to the
full extent of their fegitj mate power,
do something to anjeiioraie her con.
dition that is
Should not ourf“gmg venders”, 1
who profess to conscience and
a heart that can (feel, cease to sell
whiskey to the intemperate and
sottish, who cannot goyjrn their
appetite? And if they will sell,
sell qnly to those who can. Every
principle of religion, philanthropy
and benevolence calls upon them
for such discfimiiiat’on. They
must make it anil have some regard
for poor, suffer ng women, or else
in the Day of Judgment 1 would
not stand jn tli ir shpes lor til} the

STELLAVpJB, Ga,
A Woman's Right.
Much, has been writien of “Wo>,
man’s Righis/’ but to one of her in
valuable rights we have seen no
reference—tte right of a separation
from a drunkn husband. We doubt
the lawfulness of divorce, with the
privilege ofj marrying, in any case ;
but we are'conviuced of the right
of separaiicn between husband and
wife for gokl cause; and such cause
is the persistent drunkenness of the
hirsband. I That it destroys domestic
happinessAand perverts the legiti
mate eniilof mauinaony, there can
be no qifction. In many cases it
, reduces iHyyife to penury, rags and
b in all cases brings her
to and wretch
elness. WPir is this all, nor the
wors'. The offspring of such a mar
riage U horn to an inheri'ance of
diagram, misery and ruin—to be
trained/ by a drunken father for a
drunkj/rd’s career anil a drunkard’s
grave/ Os all beings on earth, a
drunfard/s, children are most to be
pitie . Orphanage were a thousand
time better than the fatherhood of a
sot, whose principles at;e cotrupt,
.whose example leeds to perdition,
anc" whose influence is more to be
dreaded than the poison of an asp.
His the poor wile no escape from
bosdage to a sottish husband, and
Inm being ihe mother ol' children m
be neglected, corrupted and de
sfroyed ?
.We would recommend no, hasty
of rash measure for her relief. What
me can she ought to do lor the refer,
pation of her inebriate husband.—
kite should endeavor by the gentle
ness of her manners and the tender
/ness of her persuasions, to allure
him to the brsoken path of sobrfety.
[ She should seek, by her patience
arid fortitude under mortifica ipn and
suffering, to inelt his heart into com
passiop for her and her unfortunate
children. Every art and influence
should he employed lo rescue him
from his infatuation his bondage.
But there is a point beyond which
woman’s fond and foibeaj-ing nature
ought not to he expected to endure.
Her husband may be a brute / tor
alcohol, by disordering the brain and
inflaming the passions, may brutal
ize and even demonize the most ami-/
able man. With such a husband
she may be gubject, not only to neg
lect, but to abuse, or blows, or the
loss of life. To dwell with such a
monster is worse than death itself.
But our cause does not demand an
extreme case like this. Suppose
the most favorable instance of c in.
firmed intemperance. The plan is
amiable by nature, honorable in flis
purposes, and affectionate to his
family when
firmer sot. He craves strorg drink,
and must have it, if he sells his chil
dren’s clothes and food to obtain it.
The wile sees her furniture pawned
or sold at auction to obtain the liq
uor to satiate the appetite ol her hus
band, Her own daily arid nightly
toil* scarce preserve her and Inr
children from starvation, ami thei
wo: thless father must share iu all
the provision she makes for their
Sistenan.ee. Every child born into
the family adds tp her wants and
woes. lier fate is dark and grows
darker, year by year ; and is but
lit le brightened by the prouf-s of af
fection and the promises of reforma
tion given by the enslaved inebriate
in his few sob r hours. Is theije no
relief tor the poor wife ? Must she
continue to suffer, and be dopmed
to multiply the causes other poverty
and hep giiel ?
Many wives of drunken, worth
pss, burdensome husbaq Is continue
to live with them becau-e they think
that public sentiment and their mar
iiage vows require this sell-immola
tion at their hands. We utterly
deny the existence of this obiiga ion.
In such cas’s it is, in our vievy, ihe
unquestionable right lo separate
from their husbands. We need not
enter imo tfre scriptural argument
on this point ; buftf-tieed be wo are
prepared to do it. If a wife chods-£
to abandon her sottish husband, she
should be sustained and encouraged
by public sentiment in her course.—-
ller friends should gather to her
support and commend her Lr her
prudence, courage and self reliance,
ller c 'tirse is better for herself, her
children and even for her husband.
Surely, if anything could reform
him, the hope of reorganizing his
scattered and afflicted famly would.
If the laws are adverse to such a
separation, then it behooves every
sober man, every friend of woman,
and every one who sympathizes
with the children of drunkard’s, to
use his influence to secure the pas
sage of such laws as will protect
woman, in all her personal and pe
cuniary rights, when necessitated to
resort to such a sad measure for re
dress.
We give it as our deliberate ad
vice that any woman, having for a
husband a hopeless inebriate, should
at all risks save him. Os course
she must decide the matter for her-,
self. Only she can know how much
she is willing lo endure from affec.-.
tion for her unworthy husband, and
what difficulties and sacrifices she
must incur by the separation.—;
Should, however, any lady follow
our counsel, we are quite sure that
her conduct, whatever views her
b-sotted husband and his friends
may have of our counsel, will not
cast us on ‘‘ the tagged edge of re
morse, ’•
Fox Hunting, Now and Then. '
‘Vyiieti we were a boy, people
hunted foxes with dogs an.l the men
fallowed them on horseback. ’Tis.not
so now. Men hunt foxes, no guns
or dogs allowable. They form tin
gles, triangles and circles for miles
around, all the men under the orders
of captains and lieutenants. At a
given hour the whple army of men
start, advancing to one designated
c-ntre, scaring up the foxes and
driving them in. When near the
centre the foxes will run round in
side the circle till they become total
ly exhausted and me. captured. In
this way three foxes were recently
captured in Clermont county, by
two hundred men, and all in one day
at that. This is a scientific mode
of hunting fixes, apd lays oIJ Bpl)

and his gray mare that made no

GEN. JOHN *iL GORJON.
Mr. B. Bun-by, Jr.,
tmt ol '‘Our Firsidc Friend,\ pub
lished at Chicaga 111., in his peti and
ink sketches ol representative men at
Washington Gity, thus speaks of\»u r
gallant and able Senator, Gen. John
B, Gordon :
“The three ableit men in tlie Sen-,
ate from the States which under
took to secede from the Union are
Merrimon and Ransom, of N. C.
and Gen, John B. Gordon of
Georgi’q,. I think there are precious
f&'v men in the Senate who are
Gordon’s intellectual superiors.—
This may appear an overdrawn
statement to most pers ins, when
they reflect that Schurtz and
Thurman and M-rt >n and Cqnkling
and Bayard and Edmonds and the
rest of them, of acknowledged a biii
ty and ‘power in the land.’ But it
must he remembered that Gen. Gor
don has not been long.in the Setia'e,
aud tl;at this is his first office of a
political nature. He entered Con
gress on the fourth of march, 1573
so that he is only been here during
one session. Yet in that time he has
succeeded in making a reputa ion for
abil ty sufficient to place him among
the leading minds ol the Senate.
Gen. Gordon is a man of educa
tion. I think he is a natural orator.
He speaks with fluency and a natur
al grace of delivery which commands
attention and respect the moment lie
begins to adJr. ss a crowd or the
Senate. Any one must instantly
see that he is an extraordinary man.
He has an enthusiastic nature, but
hi- judgement is always cool, no
matter how much those about him
may he influenced by excitement
'StrJ -prrssiuiu-Jm j Ids respect
the superior of any Southern states-'
man I have met. Most Southern
men allow their feelings to, runaway
with their good sense. I have heard
them vehemently insist upon the
wildest propositions, Gen. Gordon
is no less enthusiastic than the innft
eirnestofhis Southern cotempnra
rie-, but he is gre it-y more sagacious
than they are, as a rule.
Ue was a successful s ddier in the
rebel army, bqt when his cause was
defeated he owned up like a man,
and has ever since devoted all his
energies to the promotion of natural
harmony and prosperity. He ad
mits the full force and effect of the
complete triumph ofihe Union aims,
U"d all his utterances are strongly
and nobly patriotic. He is only
about forty years of age. I predict
lor him national and permanent re
nown, and make no hesitation in
placing h,im iu the front rank of
Southern statesman.”
Washington City, Dec. 1574.
Some sixicen \ears ago a poor
Irish ditcher le t Crawfordvilie, Ga.,
very mysteriously, and went no ope
knew whither. Deleft a wife aud
three children behind—two suns and
a daughter. A few weeks since Hon.
A. H. Stephens was notified through
the State Department a Washing
ton that an American citizen had
died in Buenos Ayres, leaving a leg
acy for his wile and children, if to be
found, and if not, making Mr. S, the
heir, who was named as the execu
tor of the will. Mr. Steph ns went
immediately to work to. find out ihe
whereabouts of the hltl.e family of the
wandering Irishman, and soon ascer
tained that the wile was dead and
the two sons.had been killed in the
late war—but he.could get no tidings
of the daughter until a week or so
ago, when he learned that she was
living iu Savannah, the wife a shoe
maker and the mother of seveial chil
dren. He at once drew the legacy
($4,450) from the U. S Treasury
and sent it to the daughter of Ins old
fiiend.

A Word to Farmers’ Girls.
Il was iniiinated in tV former artij
c|e address ?d to the boyK, that the
uirls might expect s<ynetl\ug espec«
ially for them. X
It is generally etpected flfcat the
daughters ot farmers will bel\ their
mothers. If they do not, therek are
at least two reasons which e
given—one is that *noihers pj^
fer to do the n>rgrtT themselves. A
er, that the latter are unwilling to
go uiio the ki chen or dairy. Now
there is wrong in both, if it is true
as above stated. There is nothing
more condusive 10 the health than
the ordinary housework upon a farm.
I say ordinary, because that any*,
thing that involves heavy lifting
should never he required at a wo*
man. The ari of making good bread
is a rare accomplishment, and re?
quires as much good sense and ap\
pi cation as the anility to play ths
guitar, or pianoforte.
Again, alter the housework is done
tor the day. much can be done by
the girls towards cultivating flowers
in the duo--yard. l n a village, or
c ty, the lots am so small that no
roan is afforded for flowers. On
the farm there is always room
enough, and no excuse can he offer-,
ed why they should not be cultivated.
There is only ib.e satifaetion ot se>-
ing the beamiful mounds and bor
deis, but the cate requisite in train*
ing tftem has a tendency to cultivate
a correct taste in everything else
If the front yard looks nicely, the
house will be a [it to present
the same appearance. Flowersoui
side will a taste for pic*
tores insiefo the house. There is
nothing whiclt produces so favora
ble impression upon a passer by, as
to see flowers growirg in front of a
'arm. house. I here is no way in
which a form bourse can be made to
resemble a city residence better than
10 devote a space to the cultivation
of flowers and, ornamental shrubs.
Again, the eis no better way for
the gn s to render the farm home
attracti vc to their brothers, than to
secure their concurrence in the.cul
tivation of a flower garden, A taste
for flow ess, will tend to render the
boys more gentle, and fitter com
panions for their sis ers. They wijl
be less disposed to wander off upon
the hil's with gun in hand, if the
young ladies will seek to render
home attractive.
Mufllr might be added to the fore
going remarks, but this article is«N
teaijy too.long for these columns.
i lie subject may be tesurned ju a
future number, an these cursory re*
matks will be closed by quoting the
saying of soma writer in addressing
j the girls : "Love your father, und
■ help your mother.” —Grange Out
