feeling than one of pity for the want of discretion
exhibited by so young a girl in venturing to set her-
self up as a public reformer, and talking such inde-
scribable nonsense about cowhiding the men if they
dared to keep petticoats upon the women I About
woman being the first aggressor, and consequently
the slave of manly rule I But that the first tempter,
the serpent, having been a male (I) woman was jus-
tified in casting off the shackles she had worn so long !
And other similar absurdities. She assured her
audience that in America the ladies had already taken
a very active part in many public institutions, and
that they would shortly compel the men to give them
seats in Congress. We are very much inclined to
think that few matrons in England would accept seats
in Parliament as a gift. There is an old nursery
tale in rhyme which Miss Griswold may have never
learned, she having begun so early to teach, about—
"—An old man who lived in a wood, as you may plainly
see,
Who said he could do as much work in a day as his
wife could do in three."
But who upon practically testing the amount and
variety of domestic toil performed by his venerable
spouse diurnally, came to the resolution that—
"—By sun and moon, and all the stars in Heaven
His wife used to do more work in a day than he
could do in seven!"
Yet the history saith not that the dame was a member
of any public institute, or an office holder in any
municipal body. When Miss Griswold finds herself
(as it is to be hoped she one day will when she ceases
to think, or at least to talk, about cowhiding hus-
bands) at the head of a family, she will quickly and
practically learn the utter folly of the trash about
emancipating women and giving them the rights of
citizens. And it is to be hoped that, long before
that she will have learned that "delicacy" does not
consist in merely wearing an undeniable costume;
but that there may be modesty in nakedness, and
boldness in the most perfect attire. That, in short,
woman has much to learn before she should venture
to teach. Morning Chronicle.
