Dear Sir:- Your ready insertion of my

to write again to you on the great subject of
ingenerate pure life, but other pressing avo-
cations have withheld my pen until now
These avocations in the outward world have,
however, trust, been true to that inward
vocation which appears TO be the motive
power in your publication, and which should
constitute the true emotion in all men. >

The Rights of women.

Although part of himself-although a
part OF his own nature-lncorporated with
his destiny-essential to his comfort-in-
dispensable TO his happiness-sharing his
fortunes. his joys. his griefs, with "a full
community of feeling, sentiment and pas
sion-yet has aoOmGn never been placed
on the same principle of rights either le-
gal or moral, physical or social, that man
claims for himself
But woman owes a duty 10 herselfto re-
gain that social position of equality to man,
which her equal stake of felicity in life
entities her to. The duty she can efficient
ly discharge, by resisting the systematic
attempts which in manners and education
still seek to reduce her to a condition of
moral and intellectual infancy-esp ecially
in education and literature, which are mod
elled on the presumed inferiority and set
tied puerility OF. her mind and tastes; an
insult to her nature which extends even TO
her amusements, all of which imply that
she is child, to be diverted by frivolities,
which fuIl-grown intellect would shrink
from with a blush-every effort being to
make weakness weaker-to make folly
still more foolish-.t to make dependence still
helpless. Inspect any department of liter
ature, designed for ladies, and you willfind
it beneath the serious consideration OF chill
dren. On its very face, it carries the i'm
piled insult of imbecility of mind, and thus
censures its popularity; because the i'm
preston is industriously made, by gener-
Gus spirits, that women ought to be sillyl

The frs, practical thought, then. which

{ The first practical thought, then, which
grows out of the desire of living o purer
life is that Of Withdrawing from common
pursuits. Each one has this thought for
himself whatever his position may be. The
dealer in alcoholic drinks is not more sensi-

gain-driving, and the statesman knows the
hollowness of his speech making. The
poet feels the ignominy Of writing about
higher life, and yielding to lower; and
the preacher shrinks from conscience while
be accepts money to preach againstthe band
Of hirelings who care not for the sheep
Every one is appalled, at the Improperly
and. infelicity Of his own position, and in
private communion finds some relief in con-
Tossing it to bosom friend; yet there is
still wanting the faith or courage to take the
first step out of the debasing LABYRINTH
There is an abundant and strong repulsion
from the existing order of life, but there is
nowhere presented the attractive point. We
seem all 20 be waiting for an easier path to
be cut; sort Of rural road to Mount Zion.
But this will not be made for US. Each must
travel the rugged and painful pilgrimage of
|seIf-reformalion. Who is there, having his
fair share of common sense, that expects
any good to come into the world from exist
ing governments2 Representative iegisla-
lures must always be so far below the people
in moral force as the servant is inferior to
the master in authority. Governments have
neither the force, courage, nor right to take
the lead in good works. II is therefore vain
10 look to them.
Again, what have your churches been
doing SO long? This might at first sight
appear to BE- a more hopeful direction to
look for the leadership to practical goodness
and purity in life. Yet it seems doubtful
from the past whether we ought to have
here more favorable anticipation. The
pastor fears offending his flock, by which
hewould miss doing the little good he thinks
he does; and the flock are contented with
the sanction the pastor gives them. If we
were to pursue this inquiry through every
avocation which varied life affords we should
discover how utterly inconsistent it is TO
expect that the new, the good, the true will
spring up from the old, the bad, the false.
We are under no necessity TO reproach the
men of past days that they did not construct
better institutions. They did their BEST
The folly is in supposins tina; these institu-
tions will now generate better society or
better men. No ) better men must some
how be found or make to constitute better
society. Society taken at large is never
better or worse than the persons who COM
pose it, for they in fact are it. But must
cease this somewhat rambling letter, for my
sheet is full, aItho' have scarcely touched
afirmatively on the subject l designed,
which must be left for further communica-
ton from yours most friendly. c. t.
