Editor Dispatch: I am moved to this writing by frequent articles in our religious papers on this sub¬ ject. There seems to he a growing tendency with a certain class of women to put themselves forward upon the public rostrum, Not satisfied with the bounds fixed by their sex, they think that their higher endowment should have full masculine latitude. They seem to not remember that it is the natural restricted sphere of woman that gives her hold on public sym¬ pathy ami guarantees her protection. The criminal courts are shorn of one-half of their vigor when they attack a woman. The witness must step softly—the jury must remem¬ ber that defendant is a woman—the court must extend every inch of clemency—“defendant is a woman,” Hut those aspiring females who thirst for a wider range may re¬ member that when they overleap their restricted sphere they leave these public sympathies and pro¬ tections behind them. When they assume the masculine, they may expect to stand on masculine ground in the courts and every where else, I chanced to see and hear one of those female preachers. She stop¬ ped off at Chauncev. 1 lived there. She sent her cavils around that “a lady evangelist was at the depot awaiting accommodations,” but no response came, She had been there once before and no one wanted her. Finally, a Methodist preacher con¬ ducted her to his home, and sick enough he was of it. The churches all closed their doors against her and she preached next, day standing at the door of a barroom, and the little group that usually loafed around was her principal hearers. I sat at the depot with two or three others and heard her. Her words, clear and distinct,—her arguments forcible—it was an all-round able discourse. Nor did she neglect both in her sermon and prayer, to take all the bark off the Chauncey church people for “closing their churches against the gospel.” She had her lesson well and brass for any oc¬ casion. She left the next morning, and at least one Methodist preacher was glad when she went, Her final benediction was a shower of fire on Chauncev. Since then I never hear of a woman preacher but I think of this woman and another. who eame through preaching and begging for the heathen, and when she made sufficient collections she bought a milliner stove. I have never known a southern raised woman to aspire to the public stage. But they will do it. These things drift down from the north, where all the new fashions and in¬ ventions come from, and our people practically acknowledge the super¬ iorly of the northern people by im¬ itating their examples and accept¬ ing all of their styles and fashions. Jf Boston ladies were to wear a bird’s nest for a hat our women would do it too. If their dresses drag six feet behind, or cut off at half mast, it is all right—it comes from Boston! These fast goers are drifting down among us, with their brood of money traps, and they know how to bait them to catch southern people.

During the civil war, as weW as iu our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one of the most troublesome diseases the army had to contend with. In many instances it became chronic and the old soldiers stilr suffer from it. Mr. David Taylor, of Wind Ridge, Greene Co., Pa., is one of these. He uses Chamber- Iain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and says he never founp anything that would give him such quick relief. It is for sale by Dr. (i. II. Macon & Co., Druggist. HOME. [(’out hi nod from last issue.] In the majority of cases it will found that those who saloons and places of low resort the most have not pleasant, happy homes. W hen a young man enters such a pla ec, docs he think home? lie surely must not, al- though ’tis said there is one vision that never leaves a human soul, and that is home and mother; hut could he think of home and mother and enter such places? He would have little regard for either to do so. Then, what of a man with a family that will go home drunk to his wife and children, lie is ruin¬ ing his home, barring from it all happiness and pleasure and filling it with grief and misery, causing his innocent wife and children to suffer more than himself, for he does not care much what becomes of them. He is not fit to be a hus¬ band and father—he cares nothing for his family and is ruining his children, for a drunkard’s home might he called no home. There is no peace there, nothing but shame and misery. Parents should earnestly consider the importance of home happiness, home’ love and everything that will make the home entertaining, for what is comparable to a well regu¬ lated, happy home? Nothing, for it’s a heaven below. And such a home is ruled by love, and not fear, and each one has confidence in the other. A constant endeavor should be made to render every home cheer¬ ful and haj^iy: then inocent joy and peace will reign in every heart. There can be found plenty of amuse¬ ments. Make the home pleasant, and then the youthful would not he obliged to look some where else for joy- Let there be pleasant looks, kind words and affectionate acts, and see what a difference it will make. The home is certainly made more pleasant by adding daily light¬ ness and brightness, and life will be more endurable. Young men should think of home oftencr. If they had one of theif own they could understand more thoroughly the happiness needed; but I suppose they must all have experience to understand. There is sure to be content in a home where flowers are found. They brighten the home more than one would think. A home may be humble, but it can be happy; it may bo costly and elegant, and be miser¬ able. An humble home is very often the happiest home. It’s not the handsomest homes that are the happiest and pleasantest, but the ones where the most love is shown, and the most pleasant words spok¬ en, where every thing harmonizes, where brothers and sisters arc kind and gentle with each other and sym¬ pathise with each other in their sor¬ rows and caves, where parents and children sympathise one with an¬ other, where husband and wife live together in peace and harmony, where the father and mother strive to amuse the little- ones and teach them to love and obey them. In such a home there is no difficulties or harsh words, no decit, no com¬ pulsion or any thing of the kind. It will draw friends to enjoy the grandest scene on earth—a happy home. Girls, you can do more towards making the home happy than you are aware of, if you will try. Your brothers will help you if you use the right kind of influence. you aro gentle and kind to them and strive to make the home a pleasant resort for them, they will join in after a while, Alake it pleasant for them all the time, and they will stay there more. They will enjoy your company if you are cheerful aiid pleasant. They will be happier if they find comfort and pleasure under the family roof-tree and will see how delighted their sisters are to have them stay at home more. Farmer Gntn.
