TIE RIGHTS OF WOMEN.

DO you see, yonder, an elegant establishment,
where II gentleman may enter aud fit himself with n
suit of clothes in trice Well the proprietor of
that establishment enacts the gentleman He dres-
ses IN style-he lives IN siyc-his family appears in
style-he does all things in syle--and yet accumu-
lates wealth.--How does he do il 4 part of it is
done by means of enormous profits on female labor
lie employs some half dozen females in making
vests and pantaloons. For fine work, on which he
employs them, he pays, on an average, about fifty
cents apiece. female who employs all her time
except Sunday may make six per week and thus,
earn SO, to support herself aud perhaps four
or five iatherless children. But when these articles
are turned out To customers, they charged hy
the employers from I, to SI,25, for making. Thus,
the woman who iabors, earn, possibly 50 per week,
and the man who does not labor, clears from 3 to
S3,75.-There are other branches of this business,
al which females cannot earn one half the above
sum.
Nen-Mr. 4. II. is the first man in the church.
owns the first pew--pays the highest tax to support
the minister--talks most abou, religlon--has the
longest iace-and, of course, the most piety-giycs
the most money To mssionarlcs-and talks the mos,
charity to the poor. Would any one learn how he
does all these things let him just drop into the dom
cils of those poor and suffering females who ply
their needles for him day and night, and he will
readily learn the SECRET. He grows rich OH their
abors-lle IuXuriates their povorty---lle iattens
on their canncss-lIo rovels in their wrctchedncss
Their distresses are the source of his aggraudsc-
mcnt-of the apparent piety and liberality.
Nor is this man alone in the abuse complained of
There are hundreds--tlousands- of suffering le-
males in this, and all other cities, who, at this mo-
ment, are destitute, not only of the comforts, but
the mere nccessares of life; and who labor with an
intensity and perseverance destructive of health, for
men who regard them merely slaves, who lay the
hard hand of oppression heavily upou them, and
grind them in the dust. And these men boast of
their gallantry OF their humanity perhaps oi
their religion piety, charity, and bcnevolcnce =
while the very spoils on which they ia,tcn-thc un-
righteous gains which they hoard up in their cof-
iers--are purchased with the liies blood of those
deiencelcss and dependent creatures they bound
TO succour and protect. Out upon your prctcnsons
of respect to the female sex, and the aid and pro-
lection extended TO them. Like all your other pre-.
tensions, IL Is sheer hypocrisy contradctcd by you
pleasures or your avarice, you never think of wo
man, but IN your boasts of charity, or when hal
drunk, you toast her at public festival.

A Singular incident.--Dr. Flint, in his lecture on
tic anatomy of the brain illustrated the astonishing
influence which the nervous system exercises over
the whole corporeal and mental functions, by well
authenticated anecdoc which is too remarkable TO
he lost. lie stated that Berlin in Prussia an in
diydua during violent dispute with his wife in the
course Of which both parties became much enrngcd
undertook 10 administer n little salutary chastisc-
ment He struck her wiz his hand n light blow on
the back of her neck. The woman instantly fell
and becnme apparently Immediately, deprived Of
all sensalIonand after methods were resor-
ted To without success TO re-animate her, she was
pronounced dead. Grave clothes were provided and
some persons commenced stripping the body of its
apparel, IN order 10 array it preparatory to its in
tcrment. On removing IA handkerchief from her
shoulders, the woman 10 the great CONSERVATION of
all present, started up, assumed n mcnncing attitude
and proceeded TO finish an approbrious term which
she applying to her husband when he struck
her the blow that appeared TO have produced such
serious results
IL was ascernined subsequent investigation,
that pin which confined n certain portion of her
garments TO her neck, was, by force of the blow,
driven through the idteguments and spine until il
reached the spinal marrow; and was the cause Of
the instantaneous suspension of all the functions Of
the body and mind She restored TO conscious
ness and TO the full possession Of all her faculties
so soon ms il was rcmoyed.-B0st. Atlas.

ANEcDoTE OF GENERAL LEE.-Gcncral Lee was
remarkably sloyen in his dress and manners, and
