lovers, if they were not going to the holy war, Laid in tre

women. Well, these ladies, these women, worth,' ef l',,
times of ancient Italy, who sent to us their beloved ones? ''''
us their brothers by blood, will they now refuse to threw,
their superfluities into the balance for the redemption el
Italy ? The ladies Cairoli of Pavia, Martinez, Deercil,f;
repos.,
Sinori, Biancardi of Como, Pallavicino, Speri•
Salvi, have they no comrades in heart in the hundred eitiee
of Italy ? Are there not thousands of women, liklthe
Verri, Casani, Mantegazza, Araldi, Adamolo, Lelile`"--, „d
who will throw in the face of those who wish to epPres;:h.
their superfluous ornaments, their jewels their hair, t'e:"

foreign princes, but desires to be placed on the sae° f°lc
and to take its seat by the side of the other nel/6:i
Europe, who are our sisters, and of whom we feel ouree"-
worthy.
One lady then, one woman of every Italian city, t°111...1

consciousness of having achieved a solemn and vital act fe'
the country, and this woman must say to all the rest :.--D.•
