That is, its membership is, and should be mer chants, and merchants only. This idea is erroneous.

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 sonal and organized influence is at 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 gitimate matter for consideration.

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 good letter,” and feels that if she ean 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 tion than that of the author. It is true that some of our most brilliant It is said that Judge James Brown of Cherokee county is the riokest man in North Georgia with a fortune of $800,000. writers are weak in orthography, but it is a fault of the ear and not the re sult of ignorance. So there is bad spelling that does not count, and bad spelling that will condemn the writer in two lines, and the careful eritio cau discriminate in a moment between them. To have lived to the age of thirty-five without knowing how to writ# an Intelligent letter, and then expect to earn money by the (pen. would be sublimely impertinent if it were not so common. Think of it, a penniless widow with three children to feed and clotho. “No talent for sewing, hates to work, doesn’t know 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 ing to her husband” that is all that is necessary. Tiie more of an ignoram us site is, the better, provided she is pretty and well dressed and docs not object to maternity. Away with such teaching. Let us educate onr girls in useful ways, and prevent their marry- m ing, if possible, until they are not on wi ly able to support theiuselyes but their husbands and the children that usually come along quite fast enough A lady from Newark writes me tiiat she has improved upon the Squirrels Tails. 1 can scarcely credit this, but if Newark, N.

To a quurt of flour that has been two or three times sifted, my corre spondent adds a little salt, a piece of butter the size of an egg, and the whole instead of a half of a Fleioh maun’s yeast oake.

Still at Large, There is u man at large who ought to be takeu charge of. The Washing ton Post thinks that he will be readi ly recognized by the following dia logue, which conveys an acourate de scription of him: “Ah, good morning. I just cams across something very funny. As 1 was walking along the street 1 saw a man slip on u banana peel." “Yes.” “And all the bystanders set up a peal of laughter." “Did they?” “Of course.

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.
