Now, since our lords nee the necessity of female doctors and encourage them, I wonder that man ever dared usurp their place. How can man understand all the little ailments of tho female frame, as well as wo-' man who has suffered. likewise ? But I have strayed from my subject. This is my plun, Norra, and Mr. Norton is not to know anything about it until the lectures arc delivered and uiy purse lined with the proceeds. You know our old friend, Mr. Blake, has removed to within a mile of Stonevitlc. He is in favor of all kinds of ' Woman's Rights.' They have long wished uic to visit them. Harry will let me go, if you promise to be housekeeper. Mr. Blake's residence is far enough from town to preserve my secret. He shall have it announced that a Lcctu.c will be delivered in the Town Hall by an 'Unknown Lady,' and no doubt the Hall will be crowded " " Good ! And I see my little cousin trembling and stammering; shrinking from the gaze of the hundred eyes turned upon her. Now, let me hear the subject of this wonderful lecture." " A hundred eyes, indeed I That's reducing my audience to filly, and I expect it to be a thousand at least. 'I he subject shall be : ' Some of the Popular Errors in America reqarui.no Woman ' For it is only in free, enlii/htened America that women and southern slaves arc placed on the same footing in regard to the affairs of the nation. As to her right*, she has a right to engage in all kinds of manual labor, if she chooses; and this right is recognized by the male savages of all uncivilized nations. But it don't suit my taste. The Apostle tells man to give honor unto her, as unto the weaker vuel; but it is not mental weakness that he alludes to. Man's influence rules our education from infancy, and governs our conduct through life; and tho chief end of this education, is to make ourselves I ok as pleasing and handsome us nature and art will permit.; and acquire a few accomplishments, to beguile the leisure moments of our lords. If she overstep the boun-ls prescribed by man, publishes a weekly journal, delivers a lecture, or preaches a sermon, they try to conquer her by ridicule ; and tho -witty criticisms made in company, or through the press, at her expense, alarm the more timid and lead them to suppose that these things are very unbecoming and improper, l'hus they keep us in bondage, and when the necessity for exertion overtukes us, we wear our lives out over the needle. Though we muy have talents for more lucrative employments, we shrink from the attempt, lest we be stigmatized as ' strong minded womeu.' Beg pardon, coz., 1 did not mean to bore you with my lecture. I intend, however, to show women haVe, in all ages, ever siocc the world was created, held  stations, and governed with equal ability as man." to meet her, she felt as if she wan guilty of suuie great crime against him. A week passed, when Mr. Norton entered one evening with n paper in his hand. She had not yet found courage to tell biro, and this first secret she had ever had from him, weighed heavy on her heart. " Carrie, here is the Stonevillo Gazette Did voti subscribe for it.? You know I would indulge you with all the papers in the county if I could aiford it, but the way times are at present, the daily business papers are all 1 think it prudent to take." New Milfurd, tbe first station south on - the D. L. & W. It. R., is a beautiful little village, located in one of the most pleasant little valleys in the world. It always reminds me of beautiful Wyoming— ■ " Which draped in nature's lovliest, unfolds it* beauties all." , There has been - a respectable graded ' school building erected here, and the school is now iu successful operation. The Common Schools of this county are now generally commenced. ) On account of the agricultural tendency of the county, the graded system is not as generally adopted as in Luzerne countyK although partially graded schools are found m i irt*most of the villages. I believe thatev-1 cry place large enough to tmstain two schools, should have them graded, thna meeting the wants of every scholar. I » believe, Sir. Editor, it would be muoh cheaper and better were the schools of your 1 borough united in one large graded school. Then would the interests of the people be undivided, and Pittston, like her sister towns, would reap the full benefit of the common school system. Then, instead of j having to support little selcct schools In j every corner of the town, much greater fa. cilities for improvement would be found in the public schoo's, and it would cost no more than it now does. I love that syi-  tern of common schools which uoiteain one unbrokcp bond the children of the rich and the poor, the high and the low,,» yielding toali the same great facilities for improvement, that will produce a genera- * lion aipable of self-government. I hope ' the aiiy is not far distant when the people"1 of Pittston will demand that suoh an in- * stitucion be established. The peculiar in- ' tcrest that I feel in the educational prog- A rewof the people of Pittston, aud the happy connection that I have had with them as teucher, will, I hope, fully account for the great interest that I thus manifest in their educational advancement. During the period thafl was connected with your schools and the good people of Pittston, I received innumerable kindnesses and oour:esic8 which will ever be held in grateful reutembrinoe ; and I learned to fuel the livliest interest in the welfare of * those noble-minded youth under my cure. What is more pleasing in tbe tcacher'a perplexing profession than to know that the parents are ready to co-operate with him fof the good of the school, that they fully apprcciatc his humble efforts, and are willing to rally around him as be leads the little army of immortal minds to the mount ol truth, TTtfFFOfiD HOtlSL.

" So does all the world, I imagine; but you know Harry went into business on a sinuli capital, and would have done very well I suppose, had the times continued good. Now all the cry is : ♦ Pressure in the money market,' ' Financial crisis,' und a host of other ' cries,' understood better by business men than me ; and when I want a dollar I must listen to an account of the hundreds that must be raised by such a time. If woman was made to be ■nan's help-uiate, I don't see why she should be compelled to sit with folded hands, and not help him. The fact is, in the present state of society, a wife is fie/pleM. Maids and widows are encouraged in anything they undertake, and the more economical they appear the more encouragement they rcceive. Not so with the wife. If her husband appears to be doing a pretty good business she must, for his sake, kerp.up appearances. If she sees her husband's mind harassed with business carcs, and endeavors to economize by dismissing her help, Mrs. A. (her particular friend) culls; she finds Mrs. B. in the kitchen, and no servant to open the door. On her return home these facts are communicated to Mr. A., with the additional remark, C I think the B.'s must be going down hill. Havn't you something against hiui ?' Mr. A. has something against him, and presents his bill. The rumor is circulated, -Mr. B. is going down hill," and all his friends think it their duty to assist his descent. Thus, the very means a wife takes to help her husband only hastens his ruin. I don't believe I ever was created for a helpless, dependent wife, and I am determined to do eomething, let Mrs. Grundy's verdict be what it may. But what shall I do ? " Fakcy Dancing.—The La Crosse Democrat cautions young men who can't dance the fancy dunces, not to go to a ball with a young lady who can, and adds « lew sag- r gestions us follows :— "If we ever have children, we shall teach them these fancy dances, to the.neglect of their catechism, Not that they will enjoy the hopping around, first on one fojt then on the other, then on both, but ' they will have such a good chance to hug other folks' wives and sweethearts! That ' is the Becret of the dancing! No one can object then, but if a fellow were to sit by 1 the side of his own wife even in a bull room and hug her half us hard, wouldn't D there be remarks? Guess not? (We speak ironically !) Talk about going to pic-uics, visiting weddings, goiog to applecut.", sparking by moonlight, sitting on the porch Sunday evenings aud stealing a kiss overy time a star shoots, (that's the nicest game!) sleigh-riding by the side of a redcheeked girl, or eating happiness witE a gold spoon—all—all these sink into insignificance when fancy dancing comes on.— Bu*. then ! If a fellow dou't know h nr, «ll4 takes to a party a pretty girl who does ; and if he has to sit ou a cold bench and see another fellow doing the sweet hugging of that angelio creature that he paid his ticket money to do, it's awful! Just to sit still and see another's arm where yours sliuuld bj—her head where it should not be, and—and—well, don't take a girl to a fancy dancing party unless you know all the ropes!" itt R'hhih with Dr. J.

On unfolding her plan to Mr. Blake, that g-ntleman wuh highly delighted, and, entered „into it with as much spirit as if 41 were a presidential contest. Large posters were soon conspicuous in all the public places and thoroughfares of Stoneville. As Carrie had anticipated, the hall was crowded. Her courage began to fail as she entered the crowded room and took her station at the desk. Glancing »t her audience, she observed that it was composed of the " bone und sinew of the land " —hard-working mechanics, with their wives and daughters. This discovery reassured her, und she soon became absorbed in the subject of her lecture. I regret my inability to lay this lecture before my readers. Perhaps it is best that I cannot, for print can never convey the modest demeanor, the soft, pleading voice, or eloquent gestures of the speaker. While relating tome touching anecdote of the sufferings of struggling women, her auJieucc would be melted to tears; again, be convulsed with laughter at some rare witticism. History, both sacred and profane, had been searched to prove woman's ability to rule kingdoms, loud armies, preach the gospel, or build houses, if necessary. During thp applause at the close of the lecture, Carrie looking towards the door, saw several of the village gentry, who had entered quietly whilo she was speaking; she also saw that their canes were assisting vigorously in the noise arountj. When order was partially restored, and while some benevolent individual was passing a cap among the orowd, three of these gentlemen made their way to the desk and politely requested her to repeat her lecture on the next evening. They regretted their wiveshad not accompanied them ; had not anticipated such an intellectual treat, and were anxious their families should have the same pleasure. the pra tioe C»f his professi- dcai.gr is Dr. a. r. flagg, recently from Massachusetts. h u s opened nu office iu the BRICK HLOCK, next South of the BANK Second Floor, Mai)i Street, I'i LUton, Pa . where he intends to devote himself to llOOTB SHOES.
