Stone.]
Heaven knows, as well as they know
it in sundry other places, that I have
always ,becn favorably disposed to
that branch of the human family most
familiarly 'known as the. female varie
ty of the fair sex. If I Was ever zea
lous on the subject, I film noic fero-,

I have probably done more in times
past--,-certainly see red more--for ttio
-man than any other erenttire of the
genus homo ; and now I feel aki- if J.
could stake My reputation ? a s a con
firmed bachelor, my life, and if nbc
essary my sacred honor on the .f.nc
eess of the suffrage question.
••hhorild you ask me whence this fervor—
Whence this tire upon the altar ;
should you ask me whence these changes
From my iarkutss unto daylight.;
should you ask me why my visage
Looks at happy as a sunflitwer,
And my.sses reloct a glory
That seem borrowed from soeuoi,
I i.hould answer, I should t(-11 roc.
That thatl.a tat- i,ith Liwy."
Lucy Stone and. I are now Last
friends for life. j am more than ever
confirmed in the belief that in the fe
male sex lies the salvation of our be
loved America. 'The veil of the fu
ture rolls away like a scroll, and I be
hold in prospective the delectable
hills, the paradise valleys and the
heavenly groves of our future land.
•I see myself presiding over a con
vention of femiles. I see myself
spending my time, previous and sub
sequent to every , - election, going from
house_ to house up and down the
earth; basking in the sunshine of the
smiles of my. neighbors' wives.
Shall I ever forget the day upon
which I visited -Lucv's lecture ? No,
never, never, never
• Lucr and 'I are about the same age.
I think we look some alike. Lucy's
persuasive power is vast. I little
thOught, two weeks since, that the
course of my life would turn so soon.
I am going to spend the little rem
nant of my days as a lecturer on wo
luau's rightb
I have doubt ww that they have
sonic rights that I then little dream
ed of. Woman is a down-trodden
race. She is without influence or po
sition. I knew before, that she was
the most worthy Specimen of earth's
inhabitants, but I supposed men ap
preciated her merits. But. how sad
the mistake She lies in the midst
of mankind as spirits in torment, and
yet how uncomplaining ! She is long
suffering but not vindictive, down
trodden but not despondent, crumbed
but not entirely exterminated. There
is just a few of her left (Heaven be
praised!). But let ithe immortal
tongue of Lucy tell its own tale of
woe.
" The colustitution and declaration
of rights declares that the just pow-•
ers of government are derived from
the consent of the governed." •
.Are not women governed ? •Don't
'the law put its merciless hand on us
and prohibit us from -volunteering to
fight for our country as a drafted
man? Don't it compel us to rock
the cradle while the nien—the tyran
nical profligate tualcs—are shoveling
dirt on the hjghway? Don't it pro
hibit us, 'under severe penalties, from
wearing the same attire which it al
lows to mule s , and for which we are
as well fitted by nature as they, and
far better by inclination? We have
aspirations as proud and lofty as any
'race of people under heaven ; shall
these be stifled
We hare exalted hopes of being
treasures of our own legislatures—
shall these be crushed Shall we
submit to having one set of laWs for
us and another for theinAdeelil Our
property is taxed in all things like
theirs, and (as I said before) shall
we be denied the privilege of working
out our own road-tax? Our hus
bands hare a right to pay all debts .
contraeted by no for necessaries, but
no such right,is extended to us The
law inflicts oti.us a divorce .for his
"cruel and, inhuman treatment,"
sending, us Willing exiles to other
lands, but when 'our cruel and inhu
man treatment troubles him, the law
allows him to stick by us closer- than
a brother !
• Why, women og Amerimil look up

; i right whi(ffi in my opin ion inheres in
all men, whether women or. children.
,I mean the right of suffrage._ What
1-rights have you, tyrants, usurpers
that you are, to withhold it? While
you were fighting for our country,
didn't we draw your wages and in
vest them ,as fast as they came ?i
Didn't we save most of you the trou
ble of collecting anyback pay ? (Long
drawn sighs from the soldiers in all
parts of the house, and cries of "Yes!
yes !") Why don't you, then, give us
the right of suffrage . ? Do you say it.
is because we havn't killed anybody?
(Swooning in different parts of the
1 audience, and cries of "No !..oh no !")
' Do you say it- would contaminate
us, when Many of its have to endure
your society every hour - in the d y,
and some of us very late into the
evening? Do you say that it would
detract- from !our efficiency as wives

be at hand.
"Let us have peace !" It• is for

dreamed of being as far south tia this.
Well, I suppose yon would like a
sort of history of my journey, and it
must be a sort of one, too • for
give yon the minute particUlar;3w6uld
occupy .more time than 'I have to
spare just now. We lett Omaha De
cember 9th with 25 wagons, 140
nudes, about 50 men and 12 saddle
ponies, one of which • was consigned
to myself,,and the others, were rode
by the different officers df the train
and one or two gentlemen who were
Merely passengers along Ito see the
cotinlry. , •
You knew nothing about the way
these trains get -along, so I will tell
you. .We started out mornings be
fore daylight and had no dinner, but
Camped at four.o'cleck in the after-,
noon, cooked 'our meals, fed' our
:teams, - and sat around the fire until
dark, and then "to bee—which
means roll yonmelf up in your blan
kets and find a "soft place" on the
ground. Ope night in Kansas, a
short distance from Platt•City; I woke
1 up in the -night to find at' least six
inches of snow on top of me, At the
commencement of the trip I could
not sleep at all, but fatigue soon
brought me to it, and since then I
can sleep as comfortable as in a bed.
Our route lay through lowa to com
mence with, and we passed through •
some splendid towns all along our
route. Next? came Missouri. In that
we passed through St. Joseph (about
25,000 inhabitants) and Kan4as City
(about 42,006). Next came Kansas.
There we passed' through a great
many interesting pints connected
with, the-war,nudthrougli the prin
cipal outposts of the State,•Fort Lin

Morgan, and many others too nu
merous to mention. There. was many
'a place,in Kansas that we would tray
eL2s, miles 'without seeing a habita
tion of, any kind, and sometimes even
50 miles. -At Fort Scott my Christ
mas was spent, and 1 - wondered many
a tithe what 'you were all doing. „ I
was nursing my frozen ears, nose and
feet. The weather 'waif terrible: cold,
and on the _prairied in some places
the env* was two feet deep.
At Baster Springs w received a
military escort of one eompany of
cavalry, to accompany us through the
Indian territory ; for although the
Indians are supposed to be peacable
in - that country, it is not safe for any
part) . - to•go thrmigh the heart of their
country unarmed. The Indian Ter
ritory is the most beautiful country
I have ever seen, and I have seen a
good deal. There we saw game in
abundance, 130fd0,, deer elk, and
wolves, any summit Uf them. It was
ncothing but; venison the way
through. The Indians raise some
nice: sweet potatoes;4o, We p,ssed

We =maid a number of rivers of
note, which you can see by examin--
uktout route on aurap. We arrived
nt jeffereon two weeks ago last Ail ,
day, making us 97 days on the trip
(900 miles). Jefferson is a little town
of 7,000 inhabitants, and ;the worst
rebel hole you ever heard of. Green
backs are of no account here at all ;
gold and silveer is the only current
money in Texas. It is not recon
structed yet, you know.
Well, we went to camp in the pine
woods, 22 _Miles from Jefferson, on
the line of the preposed Memphis d.
El Paso R.R. ; and there I staid in
the company's store (a tent - 20130,
filled with groceries, boots. shoes, and
in fact everything railroaders need)
until last 'Wednesday, whdn I- came
to Jefferson, found the boats were
running opposition and only charged
$B,OO fare to New Orleans, 800 miles
from there, and so made up my mind
to come with Mr. Farrell to visit the
city. (Mr. Farrell is the head con
tractor.) • •
Jefferson is on a bayou. From
thence we run 'on to Cado Lake, across
that to Soda Lake, and ;then strike
Red River, down which Ive run to the
mouth and strike the Mississippi, and
run direct to New Orleans.
I may stay here some time ; I don't
latow yet. Mr. Farrell is willing I
should, and is using his..inllueuce to
procure me a situation here, , and he
may succeed ; if not, I shall go back.
New Orleans_ is a fine city, muchnicer
buildings than in Chicago, and agreat
deal more business here now than
there, as this is the cotton and sugar
season. The weather is very hot here
now, and trees and grass are green
as in May in Pennsylvania. There
are orange, fig and banana ' ties all
over the city, hanging full of frail:
I only wish you could be here to-day
—you would think it was July. I am ,
sitting here with duck breeches and
vest on now. If things go to suit me,
I may be up home in the heat of the
summer. There is considerable small
pox here t but I am not alarmed.
OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
Foreigners tell us that we have uo
children in Atrierica—that the lit
tle precocities regarded by fond pa
rents as children - are minature men
and women! They are about I,right,
too. The quick development of Man
hood under the influence of our go
ahead institutions may well surprise
strangers - , who require twenty-one
,ears of . maturing vegetation to
emerge-from the chryshlis state of
awkward prudency, and Ahake off the
'preatice-like submissiveness in which
they have been educated. Our nation
-was a giant in its infancy, and a new
term must be invented to describe
what it will be in its , mature age :
there is nothing in language, at pres.
int, to express that vast reality. (

progress by the same childish visita
tion., .
To disgress one moment. I there
in nature a more venerable-looking
thing than a very young infant? Its
solemn appearance always awakes in
hts a kind: of awe, and, among the un T
fathomed mySteries of feminine nature
we regard that inordinate desire for
kissing and lavishing endearments on.
the grave-featured stranger, especial
ly among " engaged " young ladies
when in the company of unmarried
gentlemen. Wit would as soon think
of kissing our grandfather, or any
other "grave and reverend seigneur."
Their is such an ant quoted air about
the little caricature of, man—for it
only begins to look young after eight
or nine months' practice of juvenility.
Its wouderons gravity was no donut
the origin of the doctrine of the_met
empsychoSis, and a person of proper
ly-constituted mind naturally revolts
at the idea of treating with childish
levity a solenin being, which may be,
in fact, a resuscitated patriarch, pr
perhaps Julius Caesar " come again;
like Monsieur Tonsou, or at the !mit
a shorn. Capuchin of the 'middle ages,
doomed once more lo walk the earth.
But to resume. Our youth have
no time or inclination to linger amid
the puerilities of childhood—they
learn to talk, they rush through their
education, and pay their parents for
their board like true independent cit
izens as they are, while the .children
of Europe are slobbering with paia
fores and wheezing with whooping
cough. It is said that Minerva sprung
'full-armed from the head of Jove, her
father: That was doing things rath
er rapidly, and Jove was " some,' we
allow ; but we will back Columbia
against him. We believe that, in case
of emergency, the "Spartan Moth
ers-". of this republic (mold produce
a full-blown equipped
and ready for the field. Let Jove
and all Olympus , beat that if they
can!
Parents ought to rejoice at the
quick development of their progeny e
capacities. We all ought to congrat

As we said before, if the young
folks maintain their - presOt rate Of .
progression, the old people must
make way for them. Place aux en
fans ! It was well enough in old
times for the fathers of the republic
to decree that a. man should arrive at,
mature age before being eligible - for
senator or president ;
.but the time
is. rapidly approaching when that law
must be annulled. Oe lives now: as
much in a month as they then did in
a year ; so that the Ocomplishecl

ought to have a chance now. If sec

stations"without serious detriment to
the affairs of the state, why should
not premature Manhood fill it with
brilliant success?

It would be.a disgrace to the. girls
if they were behind their brothers in

It is not every book which finds its
way to our tables that '"pays - fvr
reading; Inlt "Sur GuLl_ AND Tla-
VSIPUS" is a work , of intense- interest,
both as to the facts and experiences
it recites, and in its racy style of nar
ration. In Ids wonderful career Bar
num has hardly done a better thing
for the - world,than ill givii ° , it, in this
book, the salient points_ of a public
life of fOrtY active years, such as but
few.men have ever experienced, or
rather, such us no !hail bat the "Great
Showman" ever did experience Front
beginning to end the book abounds
in matters of in,at,* - nction and amnse - -
ment to the reader. Good humor,
and pointed, vigilant stories, ,
edly told and illustrating human na
ture in its various moods, are renniriz
ble features of the work.
We cannot think of teperson in the!
community who, -would not road (if
indeed he can read at all,) this work
of Barnum's with delighted interest.
It is fitted to the cheerful fireside
: gathering of the family, the Eeeludeil
chambers of the, old batchelor, or of
.the - deranre old maid; for , the poor,
man and thefieh; the 'serious contem
plator-of humanity; or the jolly ob
'server of his race ;. for tho - se lack
ing courage to face a "frowning
world'," and for him who rejoices in
well-earned victories; in .short, for
loan, woman or child, whatever walk
in, life either maybe pursuing., Bar
num has in his book lifted the veil
from many a matter of curiosity and
wonder to the public in his noted ca
reer, and pointed every page of the
work with something in some way
useful and practiCal for its readers to
know' We shilll be greatly mistaken
if -'43-ructtot.E4 SND Ttatistrni!' does not
prove the book of the season, and we

The trip, like most of & passages
which I have made across the Atlan
tic, was an exceedingly pleasant one.
These freqtrent`voyages were to Inc
'the rests,. therelitgs-from almost un
remitting industry, anxiety and- care,
and I always managed to lave More
- or less fun on-board ship erory time
Crossed- the ocean. During - the
present -trip, for amusement and to
pass away - the time, the passengers
,got up , a number of -mock trials
which afforded a vast deal of fun. A
judge Was'aelecteol, - jurymen drawn,
:prisoners arraigned, counsel employ
ed, and all the forrualitid of a court
established. I have the vanity to
think that - if nay good fortune had di
.reeted me to that - profession l should
have made: avery fair lawyer, for I
have always had a great fondnesti,for
depute and especially. for : the cross
exinuination of witnesses; unless that
witheaa was P. T. Barnum in exam
ination "under supplementary pro
ceedings at the instance of some no
shaver, who had bought a clock note
-at a discount of thirty-six per cent.
In this Mock court, I was unanimous-
ly chosen as prosecuting attorney,
and ns the court was established ex-
preisly to convict, I had no difficulty
iu carryiurthljury and securing the
punishment of the prisoner. A small
line was generally imposed, and the
fiind thus collected was given to .a

him with, being the Prince of hum

with 4 smile, "You had better have
a naturalist for . your next witness,
gentlemen."
" Don't be alarmed, sir, we hme
trot rind-we will. now introduce

The next `witness testified that he
was a planter from Georgia, that some
years since the prisoner visited his
plantation with a show, and that.
wh.le _there he discovered 'an old
worthless donkey belonging to the
vlantio, and .bought him for the dol
