WEDNESDAY, 20JUNE th, 1894. An Editor's Wedding. The following particulars of''- the marriage of the editor of•the Atwood Bee are from the Galt Reformer. of the 8th inst.: A very pretty aria happy event occurred at the residence of 'Wm. Johnston, Lincoln avenue, yesterday afternoon, when his eldest daughter, Miss Minnie A., was married to Ralph S. Pelton, editor of the At- wood Bee. About 3.30 o'clock the ex- pectant groom and his supporter were joined by the bridesmaid, and while )34iss Annie King was playing the wedding march, the sweet and blush- ing bride entered the room leaning on her father's arm. Rev. J. A. Banton performed the ceremony. The happy couple left by the 6.01 C. P. R, train for the West. The bride who looked her prettiest, was attired in a cream honey -comb silk with lace, wreath of roses and tulle veil. Miss Maggie King was beautifully robed in 11 pale blue henrietta, carried a pretty bouquet of pink roses and ably performed her duties of bridesmaid. 1)r. Rice of At_ wood acted as groomsman. The house was elaborately festooned with flowers, and during the ceremony the couple stood under a hell of pretty snow • balls. The popularity of the bride could, in a, slight degree, be recog- nized by the beautiful array of hand- some and valuable presents. Among them was a pretty diamond bracelet, a token from the groom, and the brides- maid was presented with a beautiful ruby ring. (2) SHILon's CURE is sold on a guara n tee.

Magistrate Bartlet, of Windsor, has decided that a person carrying away an umbrella not their own is guilty of larceny. A young colored woman named Minnie Johnston was the per- son charged with the offence, and she admitted that the umbrella was not her property, but she carried it away from the house without thinking of what she was doing. Before she had a chance to return it she was arrested. She was given 30 days at Sandwich. THE HEAVY END OF A MATCH. "Mary," said Farmer Flint at the breakfast table as he asked for another cup of coffee, "I've made a discovery." "Well, Cyrus, you're about the last one I'd expect of such a thing, but what is it ?" "I have found that the heavy end of a match is its light end," responded Cyrus with a grin that would. have adorned a skull. Mary looked disgusted but with an air of triumph quickly retorted, "I've got a discovery too,Cyrus. It was made by Dr. R. V. Pierce, and is called a 'Golden Medical Discovery.' It drives away blotches and pimples, purifies the blood, tones up the system and makes 0110 feel brant! -new. \Vhy, it cured Cousin Ben who had Consump- tion and was almost reduced to a skele- ton. Before his wife began to use it she was a pale sickly thing, but look itt her: she's rosy-cheeked and healthy, and weighs 165 pounds. That, Cyrus is a discovery that's worth mention- ing."

He was put in the box on his own behalf and utterly denied the story of James Johnston, who swore that he saw Short set fire to his store. The witness also -refuted the'testimony of the other witness, Peter Downey, who said Short "offered him money to burn down the place. The trial caus- ed great excitement in Parkhill. Among the spectators at the trial were several ladies from Parkhill and Miss Jennie Johnston of Hensall, to whom Short it; engaged to he married. Short was defended by T. C. Robinette of Toronto. Bryon used a great deal of hair-bress- ing, but was very particular to have only the best to be found in the market. If Ayer's Hair Vigor had been obtain- able then, doubtless he would have tested its merits, ns so many distin- guished and fashionable people are doing now -a -days.

De Witt lahmage, who is now on his round-tlie- wotld-joui•:tey, has chosen as the subject for to -day, "Slar•tyrs of the Needle," the text being Matt. 19.24, "It Is easier for a camel to go througu the eye of an needle." Whether. the "eye of the needle" be the small gate at the side of Ike big gate at the entrance of the wall of the an- cient city, as,is generally interpreted, or the eye le. y of t t _ needle tittclr us is now r handled in sewing a 6auueut, I do not say. Iueiteither case it would bet► tight thing for :,camel to go through the eye of a ueedle. But there are whole came vans of fatigues and hardships going through the eye of the sewing -woman's needle, Very long ago the needle was busy, It was considered honorable for woutes to Wil iu olden time. Alexander the Great stood in his palace showing gar- monts made by his own another. T IIG fittest tapestrios'at Bayeux were made by the Queen of William the Conqueror. Augustus the Emperor would not wear any garments except those that were fashioned by some member of his royal family. So let the toiler everywhere be respected 1 The greatest blessing that could have happened' to our first parents was being turced out of Edon after they had dune wrong. Adam and Eve, in their perfect state, might have gut along without work, or any such slight employment as a perfect garden, with no weeds in it, demanded. Bbt, as soon as they had sinned, the best thing for therm was to be turned out where they would have to work. We know what a withering thing it is'for a anal to have nothing to do. Good old Ashbol Green, at four- score years, when asked- why he kept on working, said, '•1 do su to keep out of tpischies." \Ve see that a maw %rho has a large amount of money to start with has no chance. Of the thousand pros- perous and honorable men that you know, nine hundred and hiuety-nine had to work vigorously at the begin- uittg. But I am now to tell you that industry is just as important for a woman's safety aud happiness. The inset un- happy woolen in our commualities to- day are those who have no engagements to call them up in the morning, who, once having risen and breaictasted, lounge through 'tile dull foreuol,u in slippers down at the heel and with dis- heveled hair, reading the last novel; and who, iarving dragged through a wretched forenoon and taken their afternoon sleep, and having spent an hour and a halt at their toilet` pick up their card -case and go out to snake , calls; and who pass their eveuiugs wait- ing for somebody to come in and break up the monotony. Arabella Stuart never was imprisoned in so dark a dungeon as that. .acre is no happiness in an idle wo- uiail: It may be with hand, it may be with brain, it may be with foot ; but work she must, or be wretched forever. The little girls of our families must be started with that ideal. The curse of our American society is that our young women are taught that the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth, fiftieth thousaudt., thing its their life is to get somebody to take care of them. Iustead of that; the first lesson should be, how under God, they may take care of themselves. The simple fact is that a majority of them do have to take care of t hernsel t es, and that, too, after having, through the false notions of their parents, wasted the years iu which they ought to have learned how successfully to maintain themselves. We now amid. here declare time inhuman- ity, cruelty anti outrage of that father and mother, who pass their daughters tutu womanhood, having given thein no facility for earning their livelihood. Madatne de Steel said : "It is not these writings that I am proud of, but the fact that 1 have facility in ten occupa- tions, in any one of which I could mase a liveliisoud." You say you have a fortune to leave them. 0 man and woman 1 have you not learned that, like vultures, like hawks, like eagles, riches have wings and fly away? Though you should be successful in leaving a competency be- hind you, the trickery of executors may swamp it in a night; or some elders or deacons of our churches may get up a fictitious company, and induce your or- phans to put their money iuto it, and if it be lost, prove to them that it was eternally decreed that that was. the way they were to lose it, and that it went in the most orthodox and heavenly style. 0, the damnable schemes that professed Ch1'istiaus will engage iu—uutil God puts His fingers into the collars of the hypocrite's robe and rips it clear down to the bottoin 1 You have no right, be cause you are well off, to conclude that your children as goiug.to be as well off. A roan died, leaving a large fortune. His 800 fell dead in a Philadelphia grog - shop. Has old comrades came in and said, as they bent over his corpse, "What is the platter with you, Bogg- sey ?" The surgeon standing over him said, "Hush up! he is dead 1" "Alt, he is dead I" they said. "Come, boys, let us go and take a drink iu memory of poor Boggsey I" Have you nothing better titan money to leave your children? If you have not, but send your daughters into the world with empty brain and unskilled ].laud, you are guilty of assassination, homicide, regicide, infanticide. There are woolen toiling in our cities for three and four dollars per week, who were the daughters of merchant princes. These suffering ones now would be glad to have the crumbs that once fell from their fathers' table. That worn-out, broken shoe that she wears is the lineal descendant of the twelve -dollar gaiters in which her mother walked ; and that torn and faded calico had ancestry of magnificent brocade, that swept Broad- way clean without any expense to the street commissioners. Though you live in an elegant residence, and fare sump- tuously every day, let your daughters feel it is a disgrace to thein not to know how to work. I denounce the idea, prevalent in society, that though our young women may ernbr•oider slip- pers and crochet, and make mats for lamps to stand on, without disgrace. the idea of doing anything for a livelihood is dishonorable. It is a shame for a 3 oung woman belonging to a Large family to be inefficient when the father toils his life away for her support. It is a shame for a daughter to Ye idle while her mother toils at the washtub.

Idleness ruins the health ; and very spou Nature says, 'Jilts then has refused to pay his rent ; out with hitter Society is to be reconstructed on the subject of woman's toil. A vast major- ity of those Who woulu have wonaau 11r- dustrious shut her up to a few kinds of work. My judgment in this matter is, dolt a woman has a right to do anything she can do well. There should be no de- partment of merchandise, mechanism, art or science barred against her. if Miss Resider has genius for sculpture, give her a chisel. If Rosa Bonheur has a fondness for delineating- animals. let her snake "The horse Fair." If Miss Mit- chell will study astronoiny.let her tnount the starry ladder. If Lydia will he a user - chant, let her sell purple. If Lucretia Mott, will presto m the Go.pel, let her thrill with her It01miau11 eloquence the Quak- er meeting -house. It is said, if woman is givein such opportunities she will occupy places that miught be token by mien. 1 say, if she have more skill' and adapteduess for any pusitiun that a Ulan has, let her have it ! She has as much right to her bread, to her apparel and to her home,as men have. But it is said that her nature is so delicate that she is unfitted for exhaust- ing toil. I ask in the Came of all past history, what toil ou earth is more severe, exhausting and tremendous than the Wil of the needle to which for ages she tuts been subjected ? The butteri:ag ram, the sword. the carbine, the battle- axe, have made no such havoc as the needle. I would Haat these living sepulchres iu which women have for ages beeu buried might be opened. and that some resurrection trumpet alight bring up these living corpses to the fresh air and sunlight. Go with ore, and I will show you a woman who, by the hardest trail, sup. ports her children, her drunken hus- band, her old father and mother, pays her (souse -rent, always has wholesome food on the table, and, %viten she•cau get some neighbor on the Sabbath to couae in and take care of her family, :appears in church, with hat and cloak that are far from iudicatiug the toil to which she is subjected. Such a woman as that has body and soul enough to tit her for any position. She could staud beside the majority of your salesmen and dispose of ,more. goods. She could go into your wheel- wright shops and beat woe Itsslf of your workmen at making carriages. We talk about woman as though we had re- signed to her all the light work, and ourselves had shouldered the heavier. But the day of judgment, winch will re• veal the sufferiugs of the stake and in- quisition, will marshal before the throne Of God and the hierarchs of Heaven the martyrs of the wash -tub and needle. Now, I say, if there be any preference in occupation, let woman have it. God knows her trials are the severest. By her acuter sensitiveness to misfortune, by her hour of anguish, I demand that no one hedge up her pathway to a live- lihood, 0, the meanness, the despica- bility of men who begrudge a woman the right to work auywhere, in any honorable calling I go still furttwr, and say that women should have equal compensation with men. By what principle of justice is it that women in many of our cities get only two-thirds as much pay as men, and in many cases only half ? Here is the gigantic injustice—that for work equally well, if bot better done, woman receives far less compensation than plan. Start with the National Government, For a long while women clerks in Wash- ington got nine hundred dollars for doing that for which men received eighteen hundred. To thousands of young women in our cities to -day there is only this alternative —starvation or dishonor. Many of the largest mercantile establisluneuts of our cities are accessory to these abomina- tions ; and from their large establish- ments there are scores of souls being pitched off into death ; and their em- ployers know it Is there a God? Will there bo a judg- ment ? I tell you, if God rises up to redress woman's wrongs, Inauy of our large establishments will be swallowed up quicker than a South American • earthquake ever took down a city. God will catch these oppressors between the two mill -stones of Hie wrath, and grind them to powder. 1 hear from all this land the wail of womanhood. Man has nothing to an- swer to that wail but flatteries. He says site is an angel. Site is not. She knows site is not. She is a human being, who gets hungry when she has no food, and cold when site has no fire. Give her no more flatteries. give her justice ! There are about fifty thousand sewing - girls in New York and Brooklyn. Across the darkness of this night I hear their death groan.

When the work is done it is sharply in- spected, the most insignificant flaw picked out, and the wages refused, stud sometimes the dollar deposited not given back.

How are these evils to be eradicated? What have you to answer, you who sell costs, and have shoes made, and con- tract for the southern and western mar- kets ! What !help is there, what p:amtcea, what redemption? Some say, "Give women the ballot." What effect such ballot aright have on other ques- tions I cut hot here to discuss; but what would be the effect of female suffrage upon women's wages ? I do not believe that woman wilt ever get justice by wo- rnau's ballot. Indeed, women oppress women as mucin as melt do. Do not women, as Hauch as men, beat down: to the lowest figure time woman who sews fur them? Are not woolen as sharp as men 011 washer -women, uud milliners, and 111111n- tua-makers? 1f a woman asks a dollar for a dollar, does not her female em- ployer ask her if she will not take ninety cents?

Gud will rise up for her. God Isar more resources than "e know of. The flaming sword that hung at Eden's gate wheu woman was driven out will cleave with its terrible edge her oppressors. But there is something fol our wo- men to do. Let our young people pre- pare to excel in spheres of work, and they will be able, after a while, to get larger wages, 1f it be showu that a wo. man can, iu a store, sell more goods in a year than a man, she will soon be able not only to ask but to demand more wages, and to demand them successful. ly. 'Unskilled and incompetent labor must take what is given ; skilled and competent labor will eventually snake its own standard. Admitting that the law of supply and demand regulates these things, I contend that the demand for skilled labor 1s very great, and the supply very small.

If you are, after a youwhile, call- ed into another relation will all the better be qualified for it by your spirit of self-reliance ; or if you aro called to stay as you are, you can be happy and self-sugporting. Poets nee fond of talking about man as an oak, and wornan the viue that climbs it; but I have seen many a tree fall that not only went down itself, bnt took all Lite vines with it.

MEREDITH WILL SWEEP THE COUNTRY --SOME SIGNIFICANT INDICATIONS— HOW TO SIZE UP TIIE SITUATION— GREAT CHANGES ABOUT TORONTO AND HAMILTON—DRYDEN'S DEFEAT AS- SURED. Toronto Wotld, The World has good reasons for be- lieving that Sir Oliver Mowat's govern- ment is doomed. First of all, observe the forces that are against him : The Conservatives, led by Meredith, are against hire, more compact, more hopeful than ever. The farmers, or Patrons, are incens- ed at his reactionary policy, his fee -fed officials, his nepotism. There is a strong Protestant uprising against hint.!. You may call them P. P. A.'s or what you will. Protestant cler- gymen, all the province over, are re- senting the attack of Archbishop Cleary on Mr. Meredith, and still more the principles he maintains. Protes- tants are resenting Sir Oliver Mowat's dpolicy, which antagonizes Mr. Mere- ith's clear-cut policy : (1) That separate schools are public schools, subject to state inspection ; (2) their teachers to state examinations ; (3) their text hooks to state authoriza- tion, and (4) the supporters entiled to use the ballot in electing trustees. It is all very well for a "hungry" Protestant who has sold himself to Sir Oliver for a sectarian grant of $7,000 a year, like Principal Grant has done, to try and defend Sir Oliver, but Prot- testauts -all over the province are tak- ing a decided stand against sectarian grants, against a "solid corporate vote," and against a union of church and state. Never was this uprising so strong or so justified as to -day. If you wish to get at the strength of this uprising and are not blind to facts already manifested, look at : 1. The two bye -elections in Lampton and Bruce, were Sir Oliver's candidates were both defeated. 2. Also it t the late municipal elec•ons in LUiadon, Brantford, Han ton, Toronto. They mean Mr. , � n can that rl 1G ei e- dith will be re-elected in London, that Hamilton will elect Hancock and Smith, and the:same forces that buried 11. J. Fleming and elected Warring Kennedy by over four thousand will elect four Conservatives for Toronto. Notwithstanding the gerrymander, Kennedy's election settles the result in Toronto. Then get, this little sum through your heath OLD LEGISLATURE. Conservative. Reform. 3 Yorks — 3 3 Torontos 2 1 2 Wentworths — 1 1 Hamilton — 1 2 .7 NEW LEGISLATURE. Conservative. Reform. 1 2 4 — 1 1 3 — 3 Yorks 4 Toro ntos 2 Wentworths 2 Hamiltons 8 3 Conservative majority 5, or a Con- srrvative gain of 10 on it division. But are you not too hopeful about the Yorks and Wentworths? Not at all. Rather under than over:the mark. It looks as if both Wentworths and two Yorks will go Conservative. John Dryden, the roan with the "conscientious" scruples in regard to the Hereford bull, is at goner in South Ontario. Even money cannot save hitt. For the election courts will at- tend to that. Ottawa will elect at least ono Con- servative. That will he a gain. And in other ridings other sweeping changes will he made. But these are merely indications. The Dominion Conservatives aro go- ing.into the field to help Mr. Meredith. It is time they did, for Sir Oliver de- clared at Ottawa that he was in politics to wipe out the N. Y. .Just look how the cat is jumping. Even the hotel men are refusing to be bulldozed by Messrs. Hardy and Gib- son. They won't contradict any more. One week from last night and Sir Oliver will enter upon that blessed retirement and freedom from care which he has so long deserved.
