The Silver Dollar; Or. how God
Provides
Tiie following thrilling fact, say s the j
Puritan Recorder, may be published
and read with interest once every year.
We have the pleasure of knowing the
subject of the sketch; we have often
been at Iter house. May the candle of
: ihe Lord ever shine there us it lias done
in years past. Blessed is he that re
i membereth the poor. ‘Tlie incident i>
one of actual verity, and no lesscretl
: ituble to the donor than interesting to
the reader. Trie writer, Mrs. Knight, j
1 is well known and has sketched the in
cident most graphically’.
It was a season of great scarcity on
the hill regions of New Hampshire,
w hen a poor woman, who lived in u hut
by the woods, had no bread for her little
I family. Site was sick, and without
; either friends or money. There was
no helper but God, and she betook her
: self to prayer. She prayed long—she i
! prayed in earnest; for she believed that
j He who fed the young ravens would
l feed her.
Un rising from her knees one morn.
| ing her laiie barefooted girl opened the
; door to go out. Something shining on
I the sill slopped lier. The child snooped
j down, and behold a silver dollar ! She
i ran and took it to her mother. It real
ly was anew, round, bright silver
lar dollar. They looked up and down
l the road ; not a living person was in ‘
sight, and neither footseps or wagon j
wheels were to be heard.
Where did the dollar come from ?— j
Did God send it ? Doubtless it was!
from his hand ; but how did it get there?
Did it lain down ? No. Did lie
throw it from the windows of heaven?
No. Did an angel fetch it? No. God
has always a means for answering
prayer without sending special messen
gers. lie touches some little spring in
ilie great machinery of His Providence
without in the least disturbing its regu
larity, and help comes. Sometimes we
do not see exactly how, us this poor wo
man did not ; men it seems to come
moru directly from Him; while in fact,
our all being taken care of ever since
we were b irn, come just directly from 1
Him, only, lie employs so many peo- j
1 pie to do it, fathers, mo: tiers, servants,
, shop-keepeis, that we are apt to lose’
! sight of Him, and fix our eye on them,
i But hew did the silver dollar gel on
the door-sill ? some boy may ask. It
‘li tppened thut a pious young black
smith was going down the sea-board in
quest of'business. It was several miles
before I e could take the stao U coach, so
instead of going in the wagon which car
i l ied his chest, lie said he would walk, j
‘■Come ride,” they said, “it will he hot j
and <'u ty.” fie kept answering!
! “No,” to all his friends urged. “I’ll
walk, und lake a short cut through the]
pines.” and oil’he started with a stout
! walking stick. As he was jogging on ‘
through a piece of woods ho hoard a
voice from a little lonely hut hy the j
road-silo. It drew his notice, and he;
stopped toward it on tiptoe, then he
stooped and listened, and found it was ‘
the voice of prayer, and he gathered!
from tlie prayer, that she who offered it;
was poor, sick, and fiiendkss.
•■What can 1 do to help this poor wo-i
.man?” thought the young man. He 1
did not like to go into (lie hut, Ho|
clapped his hand into his pocket and
drew out a dollar, tiie first silver dollar t
lie ever had—and a cLllar was a big sum
for him logive, he was not as rich as hej
i, now. But no inatier, he felt that the!
poor woman must have it. ‘The dollar
being silver and likely to attract notice!
as soon as the door was open, he cun- ‘
eluded to lay it on the sill and go away,!
but not far; Tor he hid behind alarije’
rock near tlm house, to watch whut be
come of it. S ion he hud the suti&fuc- j
. tion of seeing the little girl come out 1
and seize the prize, when he went on’
his way rejoicing. The silver dollar!
came into the young man’s hand forj
this very purpose, for you see a paper
dollar might have been blown away ;
and he was led to walk instead of ride—
w hy, he did not exactly know, hut God,
who directed his steps did know. So
God plans, and we are the instruments
to carry on His plans. Oftentimes we;
seem to be about our own business!
when we aro about His, answerin'! it
may he the prayers of his people.
The young blacksmith is now in mid- 1
i die life ; he has been greatly prospered,;
and given away his hundreds since
I then; hut perhaps he never enjoy-d
giving more than when he gave his first!
silver dollar.— Child's Paper.
An infidel, who had been attempting
to prove that men have no souls, asked
a lady, with an air of triumph, what
she thought of his philosophy. “It ap
pears to me,” she replied, “that you!
; have been employ ing a good deal of i
talent to prove yourself a beast.”
Humility and knowledge with poor
apparel, excel pride and ignorance un-’

Woman's Appeal for Temperance-
Tlie following is tin* appeal adopied
‘by the Woman’s State lemperance
{ Con veil l ion of No'V York, which as
’ sembled at Albany last week, 10 tho
’ Legislature of that Stale, in favor o( the
Maine Law, li was read hy Miss fe,V
san B. Anthony, anil written by Mrs.
Elizabeth C. Stanton:
The Woman's Appeal for the Maine i
Law.
To the Honorable, the Legislature of ,
the Slate of Ntw York: —This is, l be
leve, the tirst time in the history of our
■State, that Woman has come before this
I llouoroble Bodv to state ‘.lie legal dis
abilities under which, as women, we
iiave thus far lived and labored.
Though our grievances are many, and
our causes of complaint, if set forth,
would he as numerous as those made
by our fore-fathers against ilie ir King;
yet, in behalf of the women of this Slate
1 appeal to you at this time for the red.
ress of those only growing out of the
I legalized trflio in ardent spirits. We
come not uow to tell you of orphan’s
tears, widow’s groans, and the blasted
hopes of wretched wives and mothers.
We coma not w ith statistics to prove to
you the enormity of this trallic, its
pecuniary loss to State, family and in
dividual. Nor, tho amount of crime
and misery it brings with it. No!
oceans of eloquence have already been
poured out, and volumes of statistics
written oil this question. You all know
the wretchedness and poverty produced
1 by this trallie; therefore we come not to
i reiterate wiiut has been said a thous
; and times before, but we come to pro
-1 pose to you to do for us one of tw\
things, either so remodel your State
Constitution, that woman may vote
on this great political and social evil,
and thus relieve herself of the terrible
injustice that now oppresses her, or,
be hi fact whui, us men, you now claim
to he, her faithful representatives, her
legal protectors, her chivalrous knights.
If you wisely chose the first proposi
tion, and thus relieve yourselves of the
burden of all special legislation for one
million and a half of disenfranchised
subjects, giving us equ *1 rights us cit
| izeus, with ell “white male citizens,”
‘then we have nothing to asi. Our
j cour.-e, under such circumstances,
| would be clear and simple. We
j should not long stuud gaping into the
I heavens as oni Temperance saints now
| do, voting rum into high places, and
then praying it to walk out. But il
; you still si e ihe delusion that you can
• legislate for us far butter than we could
for ourselves, and still insist on looking
; aber our best interest, and protecting
1 us in our sacred rights, at least permit
j us, from time to time, to tell you of our
| w ants ant! needs. For, is it not fair to
! infer that, in the progress of the race,
|as man is continually demanding for
jhiin.s ls more enlarged liberty, that,
1 as Ins whole being develops be requires
‘new modes of action, and new laws to
i govern him, that woman too, following
j m the wake of her liege lord, may in
; the course of human events require
! some new privileges and immunities!
Ist. Tiien, as our •‘faithful represen.
j taitves,” we ask you to give us the
| Maine Law, which has been so glori.
j ous in its results in those States where
lit bus been fairly tried. Now that we
! see a door ot escape open, from the long
, line olcalamities I'iat intemperance has
brought upon tho head of women, we
| would fain enter in and he at peace.
We liave long and impatiently waited
| for you to lake some < fi', ctive action on
; this abominable traflic, and now, feeling
that the time lias fully come, we pray
i you to act promptly and wisely. Let
, the work ot to-day tell on all coming
: generations, that each one composing
tiusaugust body may he enshrined, with
u grateful remembrance, in the hearts
I of thousands, and thus form a more glo.
| nous era on tlie pages of future history
! tlian i veu the Revolution of 177(5. But
if you are not prepared to give us the
i Maine Law, and thus suppress this
: ti'Mlic altogether, then, as you love jus
; tice, remove from it all protection. Do
not legalize it in any way. Lot the
trade be free, arid then let all contracts
in which rum is involved be null arid
i void. A ma:i cannot come into court
with iiis gambling debts, neither let him
with his ruin debts, for what belter is
j rumseliing than gambling, or the rum.
seller ‘.ban a gamester? Then, do away
with all license laws, and take no cog.
; nizance of the monster evil; for wliat
a Government licenses, it does not con
demn. Now this traflic is either right
or wrong. If right, let it be subject* to
the same laws a.s all other articles of
commerce; it wrong, let those who
carry it on be treated as criminals by
: the Government, throwing on them tlie
responsibility of all the pauperism and
i ,jn ‘ne they directly or indirectly pro
|duce.
The present position of our Govern*
ment on this subject is most discour
ugi .ig to trie friends of temperance, and
.shows u lamentable warn of high moral
! tone in those who make our laws, or
those who make our law ml<*r. ‘(>
milky piovisiims as to how or by whom
this traflie shall oe carried u, is to re
cognize, in u certain class of men, the
rigtit to take the lives and properly of
their fellows. Upon whirl principle do
our rumsellcr* ami distillers form them
selves in o a great monophy in our
midst, to work ull manner ot evil, to sow :
death und destruction on all sides?
Because they uio a majority, must we, j
a virtuous minority, suumitto ull kinds,
of imposition? Shull an apothecary j
be .required to label Ids poisons, wliilu i
the stump of the Eu pire Sluie shall re- i
commend those of the rumseller? Shall
one pig in u respectable sty, because,
forsooth, he is un offence to some lordly 1
nose in the neighborhood, be removed ,
by luw as a nuisance, while these pes
tilential distillers are allowed to re.
main in our midst, infecting the atmos
phere tor miles around with their loutli
sonte, disgusting order—a stench in
the nostrils of wholo communities?
Verily are these distillers uml rumsel
lers Special pels of this Government, j
No other class of men could make them
selves so disgusting to a community
without being voted a nuisance ut once
and disposed of as such. Now, we usk
you as our representatives, to divorce
yourselves wholly from this abomina
ble traflie. If you have not the strength ‘
to cut off the fioad of the giant, and j
kill him outright, then turn ynur back ;
upon him and refuse to shake hands with j
him in the marketplace.
But, above all, we conjure you not!
to let this session pass, without giv. j
ing us a law, making drunkenness a 1
just cause ol divorce. Such a law
would be far greater in its permanent
results than the Maine Luw, even.—
Suppose we have tlie Maine Law to
day—you have then disposed of ull in
toxicaling drinks; hut you huve still
tiie animal natures—the morbid uppe
tites for stimulants and excitement en
tailed on generation uficr generation,
which will work themselves out in aorne
direction. But, back up the Maine
Law by the more important ono on Di
vorce, and you make a permanent re
form, in so regulating your laws on
marriage that tiie pure and noble of
our sex may be sustained by the power
of Government in dissolving all union
with .gross and vicious natures. It
would create a strong public sentiment
against drunkenness lor you to declare
dial in your opinion, it is a crime so
enormous, as to furnish just cause for
the separation of man and wife. Inas
much as such a law would be imper
ceptible to tiie mass, in its first effects,
it would meet with hut little opposition,
and once passed, wo have no fears that
it would ever be repealed. It would
lie one of those onward jteps never to
be retaken.
2d. As our legal protectors* we ask
you to release us from taxation. Un
der the present system, the drunkard’s
wife is doubly taxed. As she has no
rii*lit to what sho has helped to cant,
the rumseller can take ull she ‘'as for
her husband’s debts, and leave her to
; day houseless, homeless und penniless.
If', ihe.li, as a widow, she have the en-
I ergy to earn for herself and children a
! home of her own, then comes the State,
! and taxes her to support prisons, jails,
j and poor houses. Thus do you permit
! the rumseller first to strip her of her le
: gal protector, und Him tux her to sup
! port the pauperism and crime produced
!by his traffic. Verily, “nojust govern-
I incut cull be formed but hy the consent
lof the governed.” It you, gentlemen,
’ were all afllicted with drunkards for
you wives, your substance, your daily
wages, could not be swept away by tho
rapacity of the rumseller. You have
in your hands the means of self-protec
tion. Not so with its. The law gives
to man the rigid to all he can gel, and
to what we can get too. The new prop
erty law protects what we inherit, but
not what wejoinily earn, hence you
see how hopeless is the condition of the ;
drunkard’s wife. Look hut one mo
ment at tier legal position. If she have j
inherited nothing, she owns nothing, no
matter how intelligent, virtuous and in- ;
illustrious she may be; and if the joint j
property be wholly of her own earning,
by your luws it is her husband’s, be his j
character wlmt it may, whether a tip
pler, a drunkard, or a sot. If she go j
out to work by the day, she has no right ;
to her wages, and if given to her, by j
your laws, the husband may collect
! them again of her employers. Then j
he may abandon her tor years —making
no provision lor her or her children.— (
And if he return and lind them in com- j
i f'ortiible circumstance —by your laws, [
he may make that home desolate, and
spend their scanty earning* m riotous I
lliving. If the wife refuse to receive !
the vagrant as her liege lord, then, hy
! your laws, he can rob her of her chit- {
dre ll —and, no matter how tyrannical,
loathsome, and utterly disgusting he
may be. by your laws, he is still her
husband. And if found guilty of the
only crime which give just cause of
divorce, of which your laws take cogni
z.mce—she must, even then, pay some
thirty dollar*, or more, to put. asunder
! v. ha*. a<me prr-* Sound togpiner —-Fir,
God hath joined those only who are one 1
in spirit and united by love. Now, I j
ask you, as men, are these laws just ‘?
Are they such ai you would liku for:
yourselves ? Tho first ohjt?ct of gov
ernment is to protect the Wuuk against !
the strong—but such laws take from ;
Uho w eak all defence—from the helpless j
nil hope—and hundreds of women, this’
very day, aro suffering front this iegul j
bondage. The drunkard’s wife sits
‘crushed and hopeless—feu ring to break I
i the chain* that grate oil tier naked
l heart—she dies, tne victim of a false
■ public sentiment —while the priest and
the law.giver, ooollv look on, ami pro
-1 nomine ull very good. Seeing that you !
would consider women voters a terrible’
I scourge on the body politic —if you
would not huve us press our claims to I
the exercise of the right of the elective 1
’ franchise, see that we have justice at j
| your hands. Tho women of this Btate j
1 are not satisfied with such represents- j
| tion anJ protection as we liavo had thus j
| far; and, unless- our interests can be!
belter looked after—unless you can ‘
give us more equitable laws—we de- \
maiul the riglu lo legislate for ourselves. I
3d. As our chivalrous knights, we j
ask you to go thru ugh uo dangerous!
wars to win laurels for our approval— j
to break no lances, nor to perform any !
feats, cn horse or foot—to risk tor us j
neither your fortunes, your lives, nor |
your sacred liberty. No. We only j
1 usk that, in your leisure hours, you
! will duly consider the unjust laws that
I now disgruoe your statute books—that
i you will unite with ns against our na
tional foe, Intemperance—that you
will lend us your influence to create u
healthful public sentiment, that shall
deny to drunkards the right of husbands
uml fathers—that shall give the drunk
ard’s wife her property, without taxa
tion, und her children without feur or
molestation. You would fain have wo
man remain in tho retirement of pri
vate life—then protect her in iter home.
You love to look upon her as a sacred
thing—then make her so in her holiest
relations. Y r ou wish to think of her us
ever pure and virtuous—then help her
to fly from ull debasing contact and
gross surroundings. Wo usk you to
go forth on no Qu-xotic expedition to
I attack imairinarv lot s, or relieve imuiri
nary sufferings. We usk your protec
tion, not against the highway robber or
ruthless bandit, bill we, the women of
the Nineteenth Century—your mothers,
wives and sisters—as - you to throw
around us a shield of defence against
social tyrunny mid civil injustice—
against a code of laws unworiliy Nero
linnsell', so grievous are they ni their
hearings upon the poor and helpless of
our sex. Alus! that such laws should
now hear the sanction of our husbands,
sires and sons. Alas! for tins proud
Republic, il'its women,ilia repository of
all that is noble und virtuous in national
character, can command no higher hon
ors, no purer homage, no juster laws at
your (lands.

A Temperance Family Paper-
The verbal utterance of truth when
sposen with eloquence or earnestness,
will move tin) heart* of tho listeners,
but soon passes away, and unless con
tinually reiterated, it ceases to produce
tiie eli'eot desired. Men are prone to
forget the claims of God and humanity,
anu therefore it is that tho success of
every moral enterprise is proportionate
io Hie exertions of its advocate. The j
multitude are often wrought up to the !
highest pitch of excitement by the i
strong appeal, but reaction is sure to j
follow, umi oftentimes overbulenoe- the |
impulse, it is the continual dropping |
that wears upo i the granite.
So it is witii tho weekly pup.ir—fifty- j
two times a year tho faitlrful messen

family interests, education, morality, j
I lemperuuce unit general news. It comes j
quietly into a mail’s house, like a mis i
sionary for good. The influence, how-1
ever, is all powerful to accomplish the I
work designed. ‘The whole lumily arej
pleased with the arguments in favor ot
total abstinence, it shows plainly that
tho drinking habit consumes lime, mon
ey, credit and respectability, and make
men foolish, ill-tempered, quarrelsome 1
and all around them unhappy. They j

In the town of Plymouth, in this

kept without any ‘medicine. ’ During
the upgoing travel to the White Moun
tains lust summer, u Southron stopped
ut this hotel; one who was going up al
together for u look ut Nature’s grand
eat scenes, or a draught of cold water
from the mighty alembics of’Argene
cock. He sent from his rooms for a
bottle of B-irdolpli’s ‘best wine,’ to
w inch summons tiie landlord replied
that he kept no wine. ‘Tiie answer
brought tho southern gentleman him
self down.’
‘Landlord, haven’t you got any kind
of liquor ?’
‘1 don’t keep liquors at all,’ replied
the landlord.
‘Don’t keep liquors! How in tha
name of common sense do vou accom
modate travel ers without it? 1 wunt

you kept it.--l wijl tell ull my friends
lo stop somewhere else whore there is
better accommodation.’
‘Tell ’em wfial you please,’ replied

Lime W ate a for llens—Acciden

having occasion to administer lime-wa

remained there lot some months, serv
ing as a favorite drink for his hens.
He soon afterward found that the lay.
mg of his hens was apparently increas
ed to a considerably extent. Being
convinced of the importance of the (to
him) new discovery, he has during tho
i pa s ‘lit season, kept his hens constantly
supplied with lime-water, pieced in
troughs within their convenient access,
and the result was an increase in eggs
of nearly four fold as compared with
previous experience, lie i-s willing to
share the benefits of tho experiment
with his neighbors, if they chose to try
it; und hence this publication. The
newness of the discovery (though it
may not now bu new tu all ) is claimed
only as applicable to the mode of im
parling ttie lime in this case—its uso

Woman. —Nothing proves the power
possessed by woman so convincingly
as the influence she exercises o\or
man. Y'our hero who will walk up to
the cannon’s mouth with a firm *iep,
becomes as Nhaky as an aspen leaf or.
approaching a woman. A fit of Jove
makes him tiemblu worse than the ague,

without a lit of Trepidation; and no ono
