/ THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION'. ATLANTA.. GA... TUESDAY DECEMBER 8, 1885. WOMAN'S KINGDOM A.CORNER SET APART FOR AND SACRED TO THE WOHEM. 4 re*-?ej??crieAhis corner of The Constitution tothe ltdle*. They arc Invited to express tbeii opWtma-fierel n???to use It as their own; The edi any.questlous or. accept any sug KgftwUth plfuratf:) ,,, The Bhe* given below ??? were suggested' by reading an editorial'iu ono of the principal papers of our state, and tlie piece is founded upon fects,- happening in ono of our Georgia citiea. A few days. ago a gentleman walking out ono of our main streets overheard scraps of conversation from two ladies immediately be hind him???to this effect. ???Why, I am surprised to hear that! do you think. it can bo trne???? ???Keally I cannot say! It does not sound like her, and yet, it camo very straight.??? ???I thought she was another sort of girl, I would not have believed it.?????? ???Well, I am sorry; she seemed to different.??? That was all, but as the gentleman remarked less than that had ruined many a woman???# life. Oh! for that ???charity that thinketh no evil.??? If the evil was not first thought, it would never be spoken. .Slander. This Is her grave! the sexton said, Ashe knelt aiul bowed his whitened head??? And he pushed back the flowers which overgrew The mound which covered the fricml i knew. Bhe, 8lr. was murdored! No! not by a man! Bflt by seeming friends who tried to scan ??? In her innocent actions. thoughtless and free. A something (in which they guilt could see. Failing in this???they began tb???talk, Wink, and insinuate where???er she???d walk, And say "Tis strange!??? and, ???one so winning To to to sought after must bo sinning.??? Tims the gossips gossiped??????till it reached her cars,* But none would own us she uxkcd thrb??? her tears To point to a single act in her life ..That was not in accord with a blameless life. They ???had heard,??? they said, but ???They didn???t know where,??? And exactly what they didn???t care, To be catechised in by the ???likes of her,??? Tto???thcy didn't believe she???d exactly err.??? Tho poison???worked???*hc drooped and died, And some of tho same ???friends??? came hero and cried. . ??? * But 1 thought as I saw some try to weep That the recording Angel in ills l??ook doth keep The names, ami the sins of those wlm pander To Heaven s arch enemy???and that is NJnmler. ??? U/M.O???B. It ha* been said by soniewritcr that there aro ??? * no happier women iu tho world that Freneh women. And he gives as a reason that their lives are full of occupation, and a busy lifo cau- not fail to be happier than one *in which idle ness throws down tho barriers that shut ou$ ennui and imaginary ailments. Nothing can be truer than this. # When a woman spends her life in firvolitics nml is dependent on society * for her happiness, she is much to be pitied, for there is no real happiness to bo found in such a life. A woman???s chief pleasure* if alio is a true-hearted woman, is iu her own homo. Her house and her children are her first caro and thero is no hoed to mnkc this a drudgery. By wisely arranging everything with careful method sho can allow herself timo for social intercourse, music, reading, etc. Thero nothing equal to system in a woman???s work, by it, she can avoid tho couutlcss worries that make life a burden to so many. I heard a little girl say to another one day: ???Oh! everything is hither skithcr,??? at our house. I supposed sho had heard the expression ???belter skelter,??? hut I thought in her artless way sho had ex* pressed conftuion to perfection. IIow many households would reveal this statu of affairs could wo but i>ccp into them, and as a conse quence the children aro not happy, neither aro the parents. .That a woman should ???look well to the ways of her household,??? Is truly a divino admonition, and one that all women should obey.. How often we hear the expression ???well I pay a servant to do that,and I certainly don???t intend to do tho work.??? Admitting that is so, and tho servant is employed, yet there is no servant, no matter how superior, that cau do many things about a homo that a wife and mother can. I lmvo seen tlidso servants and heard fashionable ladies brag of them,ih<1 yet I have seen in those elegant parlors dust on handsome bric*a-brac# that was disgraceful. It does not hurt any lady to attend to tho little minntice of housekeeping. Thero is not a man in the land that dots not ei\joy anything pre pared by his wife???s bands more tliau by tlie most skillful cook; even a salad dressing, or a dainty dessert Is always more appreciated! For, apart ??? from gratifying tho palate, thero is a degree of rcaf pleasure experienced in knowing that Joy# and a desire to please him, has boon the.motive i>ower of the act. Apart from this, it-is good for a woman???s health to have some thing to occupy her timo and thoughts. For every hour thcrcshould bo laid out an appoint* ed pursuit of duty or pleasure. If this rulo was strictly followed thero would hot ho bo mauy invalids among our women; they would not have timo to think of their ???imaginary ail* ments;??? for that a great many of them an,there is no doubt. Thero arc many ladies among my acquaintances that are seldom ablo to visit, and never go to church, tho sitting .so long is too wearisome, but threo hours at a good opera acts like a touic, simply because the mind is divert ed. Healthy employment is tho best medicine for mind aud body, and from this, happiness is sure to follow. Let our women try it, and it need not be said that French women, or any others, aro happier than those, of this, our beautifrl southern land. Correspondence. Editress Woman's Kingdom.???For quite a long while 1 have been a reader of Tub Constitution, and it gives mo great pleasure to sec a comer iu it dedicated to Woman and her Kingdom. .In the Kingdom of last week I read an article ou woman, and while I do not wish to excite any antagonistic feeling, and fully understand that the writer of thd article is not a "woman rights??? woman, still I think the other side ought to be presented. It Is true that woman la sometimes unfairly dealt with, but has the not In a measure brought , this ou herself; look at fashionable women who force themsolves onAhc public, from these, very often, opinions aro some- times formed; altho* they may not be the truest and beat to Judge from. As for woman???s not being man???s equal, I think the writer of the article is somewhat mis taken In supposing that authors especially, con- aider* her inferior, Mathew Henry says: ???Woman was made out of a rib taken out the ride of a map, not out of his head to rule over him, but out of hft aide to be equal, under bis arm to be orotccted, and near hit heart to be loved.??? , John Quincy Adam* says; "All that I am my mother made me.??? Ho gives bis mother credit for all he was. W omen are oflqn credited with the good they do. I think The CoH&VmTiox Ua* some admiration for women, for that flowed for hours from their lips, and with the enthusiasm of youth how I looked up to, and al most, worshiped the power they welldcd through their giant intellects, and though they have left the impress of their minds on the age they lived in, death the fell destroyer lias gathered them ???one by one to their last rc*??. I often ask the question, ???can such men die???? Ala*! the answer U shrouded in mystery. I could dwell with pleasurable emotion oif the pitst, the happy past, for that Is truly one of the pleasures of memory, ana the rug ged portions that are mixed with the bright all through life are softened and toned down when looked pt through the vista of memory. But l must move on to tho present, toukt those who. have pawed from the world a half century ago revisit the earth, how startled they would be to see the im mense strides that havebeeu made-by science and invention. The many??? uses to which steam has been success folly applied! Our mode of transit from one place to another is not quite v-o rapid aa flying, but closely approaches it. When we think of the wonder* of the telegraph and telephone, we, who have been present during these changes are amazed. It is truly wonderfol that the idea should have ever originated in any brain to seize the lightning as it were, and make it the bearer of messages from place to place, and that an Instrument could have leeu invented through which sounds could be distinctly heard at great dtstaucea. And that the sun should have been utilized to make the impres sion of a dear face, that perhaps has gone from us forever. And last.butmot least, that greatest in vention of.all for women, ???the sewing machine,??? it haft truly been called the ???woman's friend,??? And she should at lead sing its praises, os it la so great an aid toher labors. In mcdleine the progress has bent as remarkable and much has been done to dull and deaden pain, that was wholly unknown In tho past. -1 could. speak of many things but 1 fear I trespass on yonrtlme and patience. Although time warns jnc that my course Is nearly run, I can, and do, most highly appreciate the improvements of the present, and yet am truly grateful that I cam say with ???Moore ,r aa regards the past: They come In???the right time of sorrow and care - And bring back the features that joy used to wear.??? Marion, Ala., ________ Mrs, A. I>. C. Editress Woman???s Kingdom.???I am so glad iro have allotted us a quiet comer where wo can confer together, discuss fashions and fancy work, ex change receipts and???in emergencies???"improve the shining hour,??? by volunteering good and wholesome Advice. When tho ???Woman???s Kingdom??? was first inaugu rated there was a munnnr of satisfaction from al most every homo The Constitution visits,and when suddenly her little Kingdom was submerged by tho waves of more important literary matter thero went np n universal sigh of regret. Tho land was filled with mourning. There was wailing and gnashing of .teeth, and one ventnresomo soul went so far as to suggest open rebellion. Southern women do hot rebel, however, and our national courago is strictly masculine. We do not rebel but wo discuss freely ???quite freely. And it was during such a discussion that I have heard contradictory opinions expressed regarding The Constitution???s policy of golden silence towards scandals and those evil rumors which rlec like noxious grasses from tho heart of every city. One lady said, ???I do uot believe In shielding and cbneealing guilt. It only increase* by making it bolder.???. Another replied. *???I think bound up in each other aud???tho very greatest crimi nal has perhaps a mother, wife, or little ones???Inno cent fiowen that suck their strength from a half rotten root???yet wo cannot strike at one without destroying the * - side ???stroying the other. It is difficult to err on the ile of charity; and we should remember that of the _.il wc hear one half Is doubtless false, and the other greatly exaggerated.??? More was said to the same purpose, but I must forbear, ns I cannot close without asking some of you to tell me how I am to manage a ccrtafu little loddler who is entirely too Mvccttobc whipped and quite smart enough to comprehend It. Atlanta) Note???Tho above commnnieatlob was mislaid and only acddehtly found yesterday among some papers that had been laid aside. Tho edltrcssjWould there fore apologise for the delay os it has Just been sent lo.licr department. Will some of our friends from the country tell an Atlanta lady something about turning milk. Bhe lias groat difficulty in getting her milk to turn; has tried several ways and failed, and would be glad for some information ou tho subject. An early answer to this Is rcqugtcjjL^ Fancy Articles for Gifts* The Youth's Companion gives some pretty fancy articles among which aro the following: A Card Back???A novel card rack is ono fasliioa- ed of a lino cone. Select a large perfect cone/sow on either side at the top a cord*to luuig it by, with a tassel each side where the cord Is attached to the cone. On the lower end of the cone sew another tassel. Thcif gild the cone all over, and when dry It will be ready for use.

It is best to push tho cloves in straight, nml work round and round mull tho wholo apple is solidly covered.

There are five thousand in Atlanta if there is one. They are little, but tbey are mighty important. Did you ever nptice how they disappear in rainy weather? The babies come and go with tho sunshine. Let balmy day happen along and. the green lawns are dotted over* with babies. Their* chubby legs, * trudge the * street*, or ??? they ride, aud thrtr wise, thoughtfol look out from very red hoods apd seem to rebuke ho wdrld for being so bad? Did you ever see a woman a baby without giving it a second glance? Did you ever sec an inexperienced man try to make peaco with an inoffensive and unoffending baby ? Did you ever see a baby that didn't know gentleman when be saw one? Did ??? you ever hear any eloquence like a baby???s wonderfoljwords? And how clear and silvery??? is the voice of a little girl Her laughter is like a rippling shower of music from the skies. There is no doubt about it, the babies arc the salt of the earth. A man is not foil grown until ho owns one. A being who con lean over his sleeping baby and not be as brave os a lion is not good for much (his ride of the cemetery',* nor tho other ride either for that matter. And yet there is eo much sadness iu tho little Uvea of fcoiuo babies. One day a kind hearted Atlanta man went homo ami his wife pointed to a shanty near their homo and (aid: ???There???s some one sick in that house, 1 think. 1 The husband went to the little houso and pushing open the frail door looked in. On a mlscrablo pal let were two babies hugging tho cold form of their dead father! They w ere tho only living occupants of the hovel. Did you ever notice the little pcakcdjfaccd babies that look out of the dark, damp rooms that fall to th?? 'lot of the poor ? They breathe tlio very dust tfyif the rattling drays throw against their low win- aV>\v??. There is a little child on a back street in tho business part of Atlanta who may bo* taken as* specimen efthat class of babies who aro'without sunshine. There Is no yard to the house, no corner whoro even ???frog houses??? can bo made. No 1 mud pics ever bako. on . tireless ranges, and no red painted. toys the palscr-by. that a little child lives there. But a sriinll, pale face, ever so meek, presses against tho dusty pane and sad little eyes look out on tho over moving stream of drays and people. It is a com- ponlonicss child. It romps with no children, it rides no fiery*,lunlamcd tricycle. A well-fed dog dashing by is a diversion, and a hook and ladder track cu route to u fire amounts to a circus, A rosy faced baby, with a happy home, sleeps in (lie folds of its cradle !, Hardly a day and tho Uttlo checks arc as white as the pillow on which It rests. Did you ever notice b6w light a baby looks when it is dead ? There is hardly enough of the Uttlo form to turn a zephyr. A weeping mother sold ono day ???Tt Is eo hard fo leave my baby away oiT in tho cemetery. It is fo hard to shut the door and know royA???flhy is on the outside.???
