The impression prevails, that our

idea is erroneous. While it is true,
that our merchants compose, mainly,
our Board of Trade, and that the

were sufferers by the storm. This is
apparently the first reason or answer
to the question. But there is a more
profound reason for their action, and
it is this. A Board of Trade, gener
ally is a compact, active, practical
working, as well as infli ential body of
.citizens. When they speak or act
they mean business. Wbat they say
and do is said and done by authority.
And to all their words and acts, per

tached, so that their sphere of action
embraces the town and city in which
it is organized, and its every interest.
Any and every subject affecting the
interest of the town or city, is a le

Letter From Eleanor Kirk.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Brooklyn. April 3rd. 1890.
786 Lafavette Ave.
“A distracted wife and mother,” in
ttie course of a long and very sad let
ter makes use of the following expres
sion:—“I have wept rivers of tears,
lectured and scolded by the hour, ami
prayed from bedtime till dawn many
and many a night, but iny prayers
were as unavailing as my tears.”
Now, I liavn’t the slightest doubt
about tiie good intentions and moral
worth of the writer of the above. No
amount of temptation would bo likfe-
ly to Ip re her from the straight and
narrow way, and it is impossible for
her to understand how any one can
stray Into “liv and forbidden'paths.”
She has an overweening consciousness
of her own rectitude and this men
tal attitude is a constant reproach
as well as a constant irritation to
the sinners about her. There is
nothing so maddening as a lecture un
less it is tears, and the woman who
prayR when she ought to be sleeping,
laoks wisdom. If the fervent prayers
of the mothers of the world bad avail
ed, there would not be a man or a wo
man astray on the face of the earth.
Did any one ever know prayer to re
move a physical deformity—a humped
back or a twisted liiub? Prayer will
help us to bear these crosses io our
own cases, and in the cases of our
children, but that is all we can expect.
This is precisely the way with moral
twists. We cau brace ourselves to
bear what we must bear, but we can
not pray a truant husband back
again, nor by “wrestling in prayer”
can we stop the son from gambling or
worse. I know of only one way that
promises the least success in such cas
es, and that it is to love tiie sinner.
I never found anything else that
would work. Ooustaut weeping des
troys tiie eyesight and demoralizes
the nervous system; domestic lectur
ing develops obstinacy in the lectur
ed, and vanity and self-righteousness
in the lecturer, and prayer thut takes
the place of necessary sleep and rest
Is simply a dissipation—a wicked waste
of vital force. I wish my correspon
dent would com* to recognize the fact
so constantly ignored by reformers as
well as by other people, that some
members of the human family grow
in grace much more slowly than oth
ers. This thought brings patience
with it. The child who is warped
morally should have quite as much
consideration shown it as the child
with a humped back. If the time
couies, as it often does, that we are
compelled to sec those we love suffer
the consequences of their sinning, we
must try and believe these processes
are proper and educatory, and in the
straight line of evolution. For this is
the truth. 8o let us be tender and
considerate. Let us not weep, nor
scold, nor lecture, nor pray at un
seemly hourg. Let us make an at
mosphere so warm and so loving that
even tiie hardened sinner will won
der why tie likes to linger, and as he
lingers the work goes ou.
The Woman’s Exchange of New York
has inaugurated an exhibition which
will begin April tiie 7th and continue
five weeks. It will be one of the most
interesting and instructive affairs ev
er held in New York, or any other
city, and tiie bright women who have
planned the details and perfected all
the arrangements deserve great credit
for their skill arid industry. Mr. Ed
ison is isi hearty sympathy with this
society, and has lately contributed
$5,000. Besides tills gift lie donated
tiie Edison exhibition from the Paris
exposition, which every body knows
is a marvel. The Royal Hungarian
Elite Orchestra will be on hand, and
there will be no end of beautiful
things.
The long full cloak which covers
the whole dress, and which was fash
ionable last summer will hold its own
this year. Those of my readers who
want something really elegant and
serviceable should purchase the new
soower proof serge, and have it made
into one of these wraps. Water does
not make the slightest impression
upon these goods. Fortraveling such
garments are invaluable. They are
equally appropriate for summer sun
shine and the rainy day. Loose hoods
are being made with these cloaks, and
will be carried in the inside pocket, so
that in case of a sudden shower tiie
ha' or bonnet can be protected.
“Poverty Stricken Widow” writes
for advice as to earning a living. She
has no talent for sewing, hates house
work, and kuowB nothing whatever
about business. Sbe can “compose a

have a little encouragement she can
make her mark in “literature.” There
is something very discouraging about
the appearance of literature us writ
ten by my correspondent, and when
considered in connection with other
mistakes in her brief communication,
my judgment is that the profession of
literature will have to get along with
out her. 1 dislike exceedingly to throw
cold water on any honest effort, but
there is no calling which demands
more general and particular informa

it is a fault of the ear and not the re

spelling that does not count, and bad

them. To have lived to the age of

anything about business.” And yet
we are told by Grant Allen and other
extremists that it Is the duty of every
woman to marry and bear at least
four children. If the wife is “pleas

necessary. Tiie more of an ignoram

There is u man at large who ought

, The Race Problem.
Rockdale Banner.
A colored man is working at the
oil mill who explains the relations of
the different races iu quite a unique
way. He says that when God made
man he made three races, negro, iiv
diau, and white man. He also made
three boxes. In one he nulled up
ink, pens uud paper, iu another bows
arrows and tomahawks; in the third
plows, hoes, pitchforks, uud other
iron tools. The negro was given
first choice. So lie first felt of the
box containing the pens, ink, and
paper; but he said, “Hue-o! dis too
light.” Then lie felt of the box in
which ire put the bows, arrows, and
tomahawks “Lemma feel de udder”
said lie. Next lie felt the weight of
tiie one containing plows, hoes, pitch
forks, and other furui tools. He
found this heavy so he said: “I take
dis.” Then looking around to see
that the white man and Indian did
not see him “toted” off his box as fast
as ho could, When the Indian came
be chose the box having the toma
hawks, etc., leaving the pens and pa
per, best of all, for the white man.
“A Roaring Farce,”
is tiie term we often hear applied to
the modern trial-by-jury. The trial
of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription,
by a jury of thousands of women af
flicted with “female complaints,” has-
been no farce, for it has established
the fact that this remedy is a specific
for all chronic weaknesses peculiar to
the sex. The only medicine for wo
men, sold by druggists, under a pos
itive guarantee, front the manufact-
urerere, that it will give satisfaction
in every case, or money will be re
funded. This guarantee has been
printed on the bottle-wrapper, and
faithfully carried out for many jnri.
