Ifmen do not understand US, and DO not describe
Us as we are, women have not done much better,
they having looked abroad to see what Others have
done, rather than having descended into their own
bcsoms for light and truth If Mrs. Ellis is really

troublesome as possible. Away with this limsy,
sickly kind Of recognition. 1t is no wonder the

both need a thousand fold more courage than they
now have in order 10 search earnestly for Truth,
aud recognize her when found.
1t is doubtful if our literary women have really
done much TO advance public sentiment in regard
to US, for many write not from their oTn convlc.

the attributes of tenderness supposed to bo IN
