A New PAPER" The Pioneer and
Woman's Advocate" is the name of a
new semi monthly paper just started in
this city. 1t is edited and published by
Miss Anna w. Spencer, who processes
as her aim, 81 TO advocate the necessity
of better education for our sex;
higher price for labor. and new fields of
labor, such as dry goods stores, ladies'
shoe stores" and the like. The paper
is handsomely got up, and Miss Spen.
Ger evidently has the taste and talent to
make it interesting and useful. Terms,
one dollar year, in advance.-Post.
Thank you, Mr.. Post; as to our taste
and abilities, we shall do all we can.-
There are two of us that are leading
this paper, and our columns are open
for discussion. Would to heaven! that
we could enlist thousand of hearts and
pens in our cause. We have thirteen
writer's who have offered their assist
ance. Look at US again when you think
US worth your thoughts.

EXTRACTS FROM A COMICAL PA

The Pioneer-the first number of the
organ of "the sex divine" has made its
appearance as the advocate of certain

generalized as "Woman's Rights" 1t

published semi-monthly, by Miss Anna
w. Spencer, at one dollar year in ad.

fair. and readable paper. but we are
afraid of it-yes, we must confess it.

sight of this publication.

pod 1? Can't we see the bright eyes
glancing out from behind the types,
threatening us with semi-circulation
And this is the Pioneer. The main
force is behind; there is no chance oil
retreat either, and We are forced to sur.
render. We yield; we say-open our
arms; we cry for quarter.
We wish the Pioneer success in all
its proper and legitimate aims, and we
do not yet see that it has any other
Temperance Aduocate.
If we are the "sex divine," then in
deed you may have reason to fear us,
for it is seldom that we find mach divin-
ity among men. Well, we often find
people that are afraid Of the truth, and
"weak men," it is said, "are always
afraid of strong Women" One of our
correspondents is inclined to think you
will 60 off in a fit of the Mysteries ;
however, should you be SO fortunate as
to survive the shock, we hope when you
feel inclined to another of "Mother Goose s
Melodies" you will net aspire to divine
heading.

NOTHING BUT WOMEN.


When passing along Aborn street the
othe day, We heard two young Ladies,
{ that were walking a little before us,)
conversing on our favorite subject, Educa-
tion and the different interests that pa
rents seemed to take in the Education of
their children, and we were much interest
ell in the truth Of the remark, that one
lady made to the other, so we walked on
liesurly, and overheard something like
this, says one, "tbey sent their sons to
College, and have taken great pains with
their learning, it seems as though they
could not do enough for them. Yes, con-
tinued one Of them, and now, they have
sent them to Newport, to regale them
selves as best they may, it always seemed
as though they idolized them. But their
daughters, cannot see what is the rea.
son that they seem to think SO little Of
them ! suppose rejoined the other they
think they must take care ofthemselves." )"
Yes, there it is again thought we-the
Daughters must take care Of themselves,
as though they they could take care OF
themselves without self knowledge, as
though women have been born into the
world only to be supper servants" to be
mere tools aud toys for men. Is it a
wonder then, that the majority of women
that are little cared for by their parents
should grow up IN perfect ignorance OF
self knowledge ?-ls it a wonder that they
spend their time in frivlous amusements,
and never seem to know the world within
themselves, and the world around them !
Why not, we must ask take as much
care Of your Daughters Education as
your Sons? Why not cultivate her powers
of mind in the knowledge Of every art
and science that is studied by man? Will
it do her any harm to be his equal! Nay,
indeed, will it not make man more happy
to have companion that knows as much
as himself?-Give Woman as good E,lu-
