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 gold in California. I herewiih smd you an cdiiorial from the Rcliuous Herald, which ought to he published in every pav per througliou’ the world. J. H. O. 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) Kyle and his thirty trained hounds, and his gray mare that made no bones in jumping a stake and ridered fence with old Bob on her back, clear in tlie shade* There may be spuit in this new method of hunting foxes/ but for os, give us old Bob’s plan with the exciting music of lvs thirty trained hounds. TliaHLs reality iu that. On Cnistmas day a fa\mnt oc». curred in Lewis tqwnsmp\in tins county, when foytr foxes \\p.iv rout ed, two of which were .cipt aigd, to the infinite delight of the spotVanen.

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 -1 hole , What is it that you c4n call for in | any restaurant and never fail to have In-ought directly ?
