THE EXPOSITOR WAYNESBORO’, Gt-A., SUBSCRIPTION PRICE—IN ADVANCE: Two Dollars per Annum. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1872. LAUNCH THY BAKU. Go, launch thy hark upon the spray, The day hath passed its noon ; Thy journey’s end is far away— ’T were well to start thee soon. The storm may toss thee to and fro, And seem to overwhelm ; Thy steersman, Faith, will take thee through If thou giv'st him the helm. . Unfurl fair Virtue’s snowy sail And hold Prayer’s compass fast, Until the dangers of the gale Are gone or safely past. Thy cable hold In firm command, Tliy lookouts ne'er below, Until thy keel strikes Zion’s strand — Then let thy anchor go. A Woman's Counsel to Wonion. “Shirley Dare” gives some useful hints to women in these paragraphs: Does a woman deserve respect who calls the work of her sex drugcry ? There are women who always speak of it by that name, but they are usually inferior and uuder bred women, who hwrite about “inuises” and “messes” for print, prigs or guys of the feminine gen der, tiresome in society, egosistie at home. These arc the class who com plain of cramped faculties and heavy burdens, whose time and ability are too precious to waste in seeing that the soup is piquant, or the shirts well aired They briug out “last articles” in man uscript to amuse particular friends, and converse in a topical way, uneoD ’weious what a stuffy odor pervades their rooms or how shockingly matched all the colors of their furniture may be. S*> not speak of the women who neg lect their houses either for study or society, but of these half-sensible wo men who perform commonplace duties in & grudging, disdainful way, all the time feeling that they waste, to use their formula, “abilities which might be so much better employed.” They dust rooms and mend clothes, and bake cake, and call this housewifery, and say the noblest calling of women means no such frivolous pretense, bat work genuine and comprehending, washing of dishes and kettles, scouring of tinware, and black ing stoves, paring of potatoes and put ting on of coal, in short, the whole hor rid round indispensfble to bright houses and good fare. Many women may not be called bn to do these •things but every woman, princess or peasant, ought to know how they should be done, and have dexterity and practice enough to do them. This is woman’s province, which all gentlewomen should learn, just as men of rank learn the science of war, till they know how much sand goes to a chaege of gunpowder, and how much labor goes to squaring earthworks. Many people are saying this over in different ways—Geo. Eliot and Geo. Sand indirectly, in their heroes and hesoioes, who arc never, by any possibil ity, afraid of the menuest labor; Mrs. Craik, Fredericks Bremer, and Mrs. Stowe more explicity. JhsAORjEXABnE Women.— A disagree able woman is like a vacuum ; there is no place for her in nature. She is a parody upon herself. If there is a touch of beauty about her, She gives those she meets the sort of shock one would feel on taking what appears to be wine, and is in reality vinegar. Fortu nately she very seldom is beautiful, in the true sense of the word. Nature does not lend itself to shams. It is piteously exacting. Sweetness of face must result from sweetness of disposi tion. The face is not a mask but a mirror. It reveals everything with terrible ingenuousness Amiability is net to be simulated to the observant eye.; You cannot stamp the marks, the lines, the flowing curves of the agreeable OD your face, unless you have the quality ia yourW'ast : For this ’reason fhc disagreeable woman is really never *Sfe defies Rachel in nil her arts. Her features at the best remind you of etebings; the effects have been “bit hi” by acids. The forms of the disagreeable in woman are infinite, but the effect of all is the same. -In place of love, pity—if not scorn. The posi tively only one way to de*l with her— turn her into a joke. In that way she may be tolerable, like the Frenchman’s slippers; useless as slippers, but just ( available as the basis of a ragout. | A correspondent of a New York pa per relates a touching instance of insect instinct as follows: “l found a cock roach struggling in a bowl of water. I took him a peanut shell for a boat. I put him into it and gave him two wood en tooth picks for oars, and left hint. The next morning I visited him. and he had put a piece of white cotton thread I on one of the toothpicks, and set tho j toothpick up on the end ns a signal of distress. He had a hair on tho other toothpick, and there that cockroach sat a fishing. The cockroach, exausted, had fallen asleep. Tho sight molted me to tears. I never had to chew lea ther to get a soul. I was born with one. 1 took that *coeroack out, gave him a spoonfull of gruel and left. That ani mal never forgot that act of kindness, and now my house is chuck full of cock roaches.” A Northkisx Man's Opinion ok tiik Georgia Election. —The follow ing extract is from a letter written from Columbus to the Albany (N. Y.) Argus ; and which the Sun is informed was writ ten by Mr. D. Harris, proprietor of the Stone works, in that city, who has since his residence in that city, been always classed as a Republican. The letter says ; “I think the election here was as fair ly conducted as any I ever witnessed. I was at the polls, and can bear witness that the negroes had the largest liberty in electioneering and voting. I did not see the slightest intimidation used; the negroes were rather boisterous and noisy, the white people quiet and sober. The difficulty in Macon occurred from the negroes not being allowed to take possession of the polls, as they had done at three previous elections. Finding they could not control everything as they wished, although they had the same freedom ns the whites, they tried to make it unfair by refusing to vote at all.” Contact with this World. —lt is by coming iu contact with people that we improve ; we must see life as it really is. We cannot concur iu the opinion that young children ought to see only that winch is pure and good. They must meet tho world as it is, and meet it when young. They must have the op portunity to compare. Comparison is a great power in the formation of char acter. A young lady that has seen nothing of real life, and ouly knows what she has heard and read, is greatly astonished when she meets the distin guished men and women of any country. They aro not equal to her standard. Young people may be made better by contact with that which is not so good. Instead of falling themselves, they should try to make the bad good. To be tbrowu in early life among all classes and conditions of people ought to be cs'Memed an advantage rather than a misfortune. Tho people from whom we can obtain the most sensible, the truest aud wisest views of life, arc found among those who struggle for an existence. Power of Love. —Havo you never seen the expulsive power of true love in regard to faults, and what the in spiration of the true love is in regard to virtues ? Oh, what a subsoiling love gives to the soul. Ouly love enough and there is nothin that is not possible. To conscience but few things are possible; to love, all things. A love that is spiritual, a love that is really a deep and abding affection, how docs it convert the rature! how does it cleanse and purify it! how robust docs it make a man ! how victorious ! It is said that “love conquers all things.’’ It is the meanest interpretation of the maxim eonceivablo as it is ordinarily used, that it couqucrs the difference,s that luterpose betweeu two lovers. The real victories of love are iu the lover. The victories of love are iu the sharpen ing of the understanding, in the cultiva tion of the taste, in tbo exaltation of virtue, in the moulding of the disposi tion, in the more perfect development in the character of all that is beautiful and good. How it enriches the moral nature ! How large and grand it makes the soul! How easy is it, uuder the inspiration of love, for all the multi tudinous particles of life to begin to move harmoniously and to adjust them selves rightly; if ouly this central fire of love be present. Ilow impossible without it; how impossible with love that it should be otherwise ? ■ The horse disease is exciting con' siderable apprehension in Macon. Legnl Advertisements. 1 ' s • !
