These wrongs will continue until wo-
men demands their redress. Who better
than herself can press that demand =
They who have not the heart and the will
to demand their own rights, have little
cause to complain of their loss.
We do not believe ourselves possessed
Of all the wisdom in the world, or that our
efforts will exhibit all the perfection and
strength which is looked for in old estab-
lished journals, but our editors are wo-
men who have long stood in the front
ranks of reform.
Progress is the watch-word of this age
Onward is written on the face of Socie-
ty. The lightnings Of thought by the
steam of the press, are producing revolu-
tiOns never before dreamed Of in the in
tellectual, moral and political world.
Why then shall half the race be con-
tent to drag out slow existence in the
beaten paths of the dark ages /? Why be
the slave of fashion-Of false education
of ignorance, inferior estimation and
cOnditon? 1t cannot he SO longer. Al
ready mighty movement has begun-its
course is onward-nO earthly power can
stay it. Woman will rise above her own
acknowledged weakness, above the ideas
Of inferiority which now depress her
above the Indifference and opposition of
a large portion of her own sex. To aid
her in this good work is the design of our
humble sheet. Our PIOEEER shall bear
words of cheer to oppressed woman in all
conditions of rife-Lhe ,corking classes es-.
pecialiy!
Its columns shall contain a variety OF
miscellaneous, interesting and general in
telligence, such as will commend II to the
family circle. The young shall find in it
pleasing and profitable lessons Of mOrali-
ty, education and virtue.
Having thus briefly hinted at some OF
the objects which it is in our hearts to
pursue, we confidently ask the co.opera-
ton of our many friends, in forwarding
their names and the names of others, as
subscribers. We have undertaken our
work after much deliberation, and with
such assurances of aid as warrant us in
hoping for a good degree of success.

dressed to A. w. SPENCER,

PROSPECTUS.

EvERI cause which aims at great re-
suits, for good or evil, seeks its support
in the strong arm of the Press. One of
the greatest questions of this age is that Of
wo,nan's true elevation. Papers devoted
to other reforms have, to u limited extent,
advocated the elevation Of woman to her
rightful rank by the side of man. But
woman has not, in this country, paper
devoted to her cause in this broad SENSE
this comprehensive view, which now ev-
erywhere is taking possession of the minds
of this generation.
Believing the time has come when such
an Organ should exist, breathing out the
heart, and speaking out in the defence of
twoman faithfully and fearlessly, we send
forth our PIONEER, and propose to issue
it semi-monthIy, at One Dollar per year,
in advance, payable OH the reception of
the first Number.
We are aware of the magnitude of our
undertaking, and of the difficulties in our
way. But the cause Of woman is upon
our heart, and the burdens and duties of
her defence shall lie our pleasure.
We are not the organ Of any sect, par
ty, convention or clan-we hold ouselves
amenable only to God and good con-
science. We shall discuss the subject of
woman's oppression and degradation by
the character Of the labor to which she is
subjected, the beggarly wages paid her,
the cast which places her in ten thousand
instances beyond the reach of intelligence,
excluding her from the higher institutions
of learning, and the professions for which
she is SO well adapted. Since man, in
the formation of his early mind, is the
creature Of her hand, bearing the stamp
of her image forever, no intellectual cul-
ture to- which man can attain, should he
withheld from her-nOr can it be, but by
the preparation Of crime, the measure
of which has revealed itself in the past.
The disabilities and legal burdens which
society imposes upon woman shall he laid
hare to the view of those whose right it is
to claim equal justice to all. 80 .l

FABLE.
By J. X. PAULDINO.
The drop Of soater, the brook, the rsrer,
and the ocean.

The drop of s0ater, the brook, the rirer,
and the ocean.
A drop of water that sparkled like a
jewel in the sun, once fell from the
clouds, into a mountain stream, and ERE
il lost its identity, exclaimed, in all the
anguish of dissolution: " Alas, what a
catasrophe-I am swallowed up in im-
mensity." The little stream laughed as
it leaped down the mountain side, at
the lamentation of such an insignificant
thing as a drop of water, and vain of its
consequence, continued brawling its
crystal way, in all the pride Of con-
scious superiority, until at length with a
sudden plunge 1t fell headlong into a
mighty river, and, like the drop Of wa
ter, was lost in moment, crying out in
his last agonies, 80 Fate! who would
have thought brook Of my size could
be swallowed up so easily" The river
murn,ured contempt for the little fool
ish stream, and continued its course,
gathering strength and pride, breaking
through mountains, tearing the rocks
from their seats, and coursing. in thou
sand graceful meanders, through fowery
meadows, until it found its way to the
vast and melancholy ocean, in whose
boundless waste it lost its being like the
drop of water, and the little mountain
stream. "Is it possible" exclaimed
the mighty river, +" that have been COL
lecting tribute from half world, only to
become nothing at last?"
IT'S thus with thee, o man! Thou
beginnest in insigni6cance, like the drop
of water; thou becomest laughing,
leaping and brawling thing, like the
brook; thou waxest proud and
great like the mighty river; and ere
thou canst say in the vanity Of thy
heart, "what an illustrious mortal am,"
thou art lost in eternity.

WOMAN's MISSION.
BY EBENEZER ELLIOT.

What highe,t prize hath woman won
In science, or in art!
What mighliest work, by woman done,
Boasts city, field, or martl
She hath no Raph@l" Painting saith;
sNo Newton - Learning cries;
.Show US her steamship! her Macbeth!
Her thought-won victories!'
Wait, boaslful man! though worthy are
Thy deeds, when thou art true,
Things worihier still, and ho,er far,
Our sister yet will do;
For this the worth of woman shows
On every peopled shore, :.
That, still as man in wisdom grows,
He honors her the more.
Oh, not for wealth, or fame, or power,
Hath mans meek angel striven,
But silent as the growing flower,
To make Of earth heaven!
And in her garden of the sun
Heavens brightest rose shall blosm;
For woman's best Is unbegun-A-
Her advent's yet TO come!
From the Liberstor.

Lead thee into chains or DEATH

THE BIRDS SONG.
asked sweet Robin, one morning in May,
Who sung in the apple-tree over the way,
What twas she was singing so sweetly about,
For I'D lred long time. but could not find out;
"Why, I'm sure" she replied, "you cannot
guess wrong
Don't you know am singing Temperance
Song?
'Teetoial-O that's the first word of my lay,
And then don't you see how rattle away9
IT'S because I've just dipp'd my beak in the
spring,
And brush the fair face of The Lake with my
I wing,
Cold Water, Cold Water, yes, that is my song,
And love to keep singing it all the day long.
"And now, my sweet Miss, won't you give me
crumb,
For the dear little nestlings are waiting a,
home?
And one thing beside, since my story you've
heard,
] hope you'll remember the lay of the bird,
And never forget, whilst you list to my song,
All the birds to the Cold Water Army belong.
