Temperance War-Horse. Dr. T. H.
Dozier, the great champion of temper
ance . we : re glad to learn, is again in
the field’ on an active campaign. He
has already commenced skirmishing, •
and soon, very soon, will open his full .
line of battle on whisky and its vota- ’

work and ask that they “(rod speed” j
him and lend him a helping hand.

The following very complimentary
notice we copy from uur neighbor the

prettiest, ablest and best weekly pepers
in the south. We thank our friends of
the Journal for such expressions and
when we consider the source, we con
fess it makes us proud.

OUR FLOWER GARDEN.
Flowers are a luxury which all can
i afford. They are cheap, yet confer an
; inestimable amount and variety of
i pleasure. Home is cheerless and nn
i attractive without them, and a woman’s
' duty is to beautify home. The season
j is at hand for work in the garden and
! for getting seeds and instruction. We
. have been casting about for the best
| “guide book” in the art of Flori-cul
i Lure, and from a long list of periodicals
j on the subject, we unhesitatingly re-
I commend Briggs A Bros.’ Illustrated
Catalogue, issued four times a year,
with notes and instruction suitable for
each season, and making a book of two
hundred pages, for the incredibly low
price of twenty-five cents. It is pub
lished at Rochester, N. Y. Briggs &
Bro. give to the party sending a $5
' order for seed, a magnificent floral
i chromo, size 1G z 24, or he will be
1 allowed to select seed to the amount
of $6.25 in place of the chromo. He
i gets in addition the four splendid
i quarterlies free. We hope in future
to be in constant communication with
tills world-renowned firm, and to be
able every week to supply our readers
with something new and useful in the
art of Flori-culturo, which will be
gleanings from the long experience
ami extensive knowledge of Briggs &
! Bro. The firm have seed of almost
, every flower known to horticulturists,
' and of every vegetable in use. These I
I °
i seed are the finest and best; he guar- |
! . , I
i antees there is no cheat about them, j
j Semi to Briggs <k Bro., Rochester, N. '
' Y., and get the best horticultural jour- '
nal in America.
The Liquor Journal*.
Can it be believed that journals are
! actually being printed daily, in oppo
sition to Temperance journals, and ad
vocating the liquor traffic? This is a
lamentable fact, and shows how the
1 liquor dealers are suffering by the i
| Temperance influence. King Alcohol )
has taken up the pen, as well as the i
sword and money bags, to sustain him.
He is dying, but he will die game, ami
as talent, genius, wealth and power
have ever fallen victims to his will.jso !
they will be called into requisition and |
fall again. He will not be wanting of i
able advocates. A. hundred thousand'
dollars have been pledged to support 1
those journals by the “whisky ring,” j
and we must tight them if we hope to .
come off victorious. Let the Templars
rally to the cause -fight for freedom .
from tilt tyranny of li fuor.
our su]wyswrning
by m ut ;n: r. moseley.
“I'd rath- r die and be done with i.
there's no us struggling any longer
in a land where nature, law ami man
are against women - I can’t make
bread for them all, and there's no use ;
trying! "
! The words came in bated breath,from
the pale lips of a woman whose eyes ,
look-d into mine with a burning glance. >
There waste me a deep and fearful ;
meeuing m her words, and a truth the .
bitterness of which is felt by every .
woman who has to struggle with pov- j
< rly. I knew this, yet I tried to shut
from her m< r ! >id fancy the dark reality
as I replied:
"But your children will soon be ,
large enough to help yon. and there '
are kind and —"
"Don't talk about ‘charity’ to me,”
' she r. turned, “it stings worse than ’
hunger! 1 don't want charity,l don't
ask favors, I only want justice. lam !
not adiamed to work. 1 haveabilitit s,
I have tdueatioii, I Lave will ami pur
pose, and yet there is nothing that will *
pay nothing of a profitable nature
that I can get < mployment at, simply
because lam a woman. I can clerk, 1
but ‘we prefer male clerks' is the crv.
and they will pay a man thribble what
they do a woman in any sphere of la
bor, simply because he is a man. I
can s< t t 'qie, write for the papers and
keep book', but of what avail lam a
woman, and men have prt v denee! ”
Tb.e words came in a torrent of
burning invective, against the injustice. t
which shuts everv honorable avenue to '
i * i
labor against woman, but I checked it
by:
“Have you tried sewing? ”
“Sewing,” she answered, “it was i
woman’s sure support once, but men
have taken it from her, by the inven
tion of machines, at ’which they seat
themselves and take the bread from I
widows and orphans, by doing for a I
pittance the work which once would I
have fed the little mouths which now '
cry to meJ ”
The weary head was lowered upon
the thin hand and silence fell upon us.
The frail figure of the widow and
mother rocked to and fro in the bitter
ness of her reflections, and I gazed at i
her through the mist of tears, as I re
membered how bright life had once
been to her, and how irremediably
dark was the present. She saw and ,
felt the utter hopelessnes of her con. i
dition, as only a woman can feel. She ;
was proud and gifted, but in a society !
like ours, of what avail are gifts to a j
woman; they pag nothing, and bread j
must be had. All lucrative and easy !
positions are sought for, and filled by
men, whil ■ frail, unprotected woman
is driven from all but three employ
ments, v.iz: school teaching, sewing and j
washing. Man is given the precedence I
even in these, |ind “man milliners” are '
the latest invention for pushing wo- '
men out of employment. To a woman
poor and unprovided for, life with its
responsibilities, is a terrible enigma.—
■ Necessity requires her to do something
for her support; custom, society and 1
I law place every obstacle in her path- '
' way to success; and as I sat thinking •
I of these pitiable truths, and looking;
at the bowed figure before me, I racked :
my brain in vain, for some promising 1
suggestion. I could do nothing for
her who had appealed to me. She did
not want charity, she wanted employ
ment, lucrative employment, and this
\ here, is “not the fashion.” I could do
' nothing, and I simply said, "let us try i
j what can be done, and hope for the ,
best.”
1
“Hope,” she retorted, bitfi rly, “what ,
has a woman'* to' hope in a country
I where she is regarded as a cipher;
; where negroes and white men make
‘ laws to rule her—where slaves are re
-1 garded as her superiors—where igno
: rant and vicious men lay tuxes upon
. her propci ty, and pass liquor laws
i which deprive her of husband and
I money, where society in order to keep
• women dt pendent, decides that her
■ standing therein is lowered by labor?
No! there is no hone but ti e hone of
! rest which sparkh s in this little vial,”
j she added, as she held up to vic w a
j liquid in whose light was death. There
! was a fearful meaning in her hungry
gbinee as her eyes re.- t d on the bottle*
' and I sail softly, "’wait, h ■>■»>.•»; God;
will provide; do not rush into his pres- :
(■nee unbidden! Remember vour
'children; do not break the laws of >
God ami vour country bv r.i'i.'ng vour
. own life.” A ni(<-king laugh was my
, only reply, and then she added, “Aly ,
country I A woman has no country
' she is the sieve of slaves; the sport of
conventionalities, the toy or servant of
i man; the foot-ball of public opinion ■
and a terror and a burden to herself.
What can. what has she to ''.ope —to
keep her from longing for the rest ol''
, death?”
D was fearful to witness the sorrow
J written in her pale, sweet face, and if
society drives her, as it has drive n
thousands of others, to a suicide’s
grave*, or to a still more horrible fate,
G- d will require her blood of those
who have rendered her existence unen
durable.
You, t ■ whom fortune h i given joy
and plemy, turn not away from the
‘ cry of your sisters; and you who as-
• sume to rule, without her consent,
a creature* your superior in moralsand
equal in intcilect, woe unto you! for
her cry w ill come against you, you who
strip the orphan and take tithes of the
‘ widow it will be more tolerable for
Sodom and Gomorrah “in that day”
than for you! I have written no fic
' tion but a terrible truth, and in the ;
I name of suffering humanity; in the
' name of a hundred thousand women :
1 i
rendered penniless by the war, I appeal
to societ for jusii.ee to woman, I ask it
to open the doors to honorable and
i lucrative employment, and plead with
mothers and fathers to educate their
daughters for professions instead of
fashions. A nobler womanhood de
mands this; the times demand it, and
I more than all, the stern necessities of
l humanity demand it.

2. It has the sole and exclusive, right of pub
i fishing the Decisions of the Supreme

ami the great proportion are subscribers 1
3. 'Die Constitution is the Official
Journal of the State, of the city of Atlanta
; and a large number of counties. •
■ 4- The Constitution publishes a weekly
I Cotton Editorial, embracing remarks on
! the Gold Premium and ail matters affecting
[ the cotton trade, widi statistics difficult to
be obtained elsewhere. Producers and
i dealers in cotton, not alone in Georgia, but
all over the country, procure the The Con_
stiiuiton for these articles,
d. The Constitution furnishes Tele
graphic Dispatches and news from all quar
ters of the globe, including markets, do
