are certain bounds beyond which she ,nnv
not pass, but which nan rnay oyorsicp with
impunty, il is not untviso 20 conclude, Tint
her Creator has given her sufficient intel
lect 70 enable her 10 keep within her proper
orbit; or has else endowed her with Tho
same. instinct he has bestowed upon beast
aud bird, aud which Keeps each in its appro-
PIRATE sphere? So in case either conclusion
is correct, il is work of supererogation for
man to define how far she muy go, and where
she shall stay. Man has become so accus-
tomed 10 rule and control woman, telling her
what slc may do, aud whit she must leave
undone, tint he speaks about her nppropri-
ate sphere with the utmost nonchalanct, aud
its boundaries appear 10 bo ns we'll defined
III bis mind, ms are the great divisions of the
globe ia the mind of the young student.
As there has been so much talk about
tcoman's appropriate sphere, il would seem
that we ought TO hear something about minis
appropriate sphere; but this is n forbidden
silllect 10 woiilnn---it would be like heath
en- entering the holy of llolics. Should we
intimate To them that the burning of women
for witchcrait; that the hnnging of women
for Quakerisn; that the flogging of women
at the cart's-tail for faithfilness to their con-
victions of religious duty; that the hanish.
meHt of women for their belief in the Bap-
list creed, all of which were perpeirated in
former days by the rinen of New England
or 10 come down TO moro recent time TINT
the numbering of women for no other rea-
Son than becuuse they were llexicans; that
tho seducing and betnying of women who
were before spotless and pure; that the buy
ing aud selling OF women from an auction
block, compelling them 10 endure the vilest
insults aud the grossesi outragc--driving
them along the highway like beasts TO slaugli-
ter,--forcint 6ne.a'to unrequit.d toll under
burning sun and a cutting lush---robbing
them Of the children oftheir love, and criisll-
ing ont their very hearts blood under the
iron heel of slavery--I say, Should we inti-
mate that this is not precisely mans nppro-
PIRATE sphere, we should doubtless be told
we were meddling with matters we could
not comprehend. Oh, the wrongs of woman
are piled heaven high. No wonder that Mrs.
iieniaDs exclaimed, aeisac s. aer.g
"IIcr lot is on you, womnn's tears 10 weep,
And patient smiles To wear thro' suffering hour,
And sunless treasures from affections deep,
To'pour ON brokcn reeds a wasted shower;
And 10 make idols, and TO find them clay,
And to bewail that worship, therefore, pray | I"
II is painful 10 know how very much man,
women are influenced ly the drend Of dons
something that man will pronounce unfemi
