The sphere Of Woman.

male Employment" 1t is a very SEN
sable article on the subject, and is
written in bold and vigorous man
ner. Were it adapted 70 this latitude
we should lay it before our readers,
as it is; but it has reference to the
crowded cities of New England, where
the principle prevails. that the value OF
| female labor, is not worth more than
half the amount paid for the same
work, to males. This is wrong, and
any effort to correct the evil should
| be camly considered by every one in
tercsted in the welfare of the humah
family for to this is to be attributed
the vice aud degradation Of females IN
large cities, ifnotjn country towns.
We know that there are men base
enough to think, it a condition OF
choice; and on the original SIN
theory, many pious people close
their hands and pray that d better
state may come. But such people
should be taught that, in bringing
this charge against Heaven, they utter
blasphemy, for all the evils Of society
grow out of it, and man himself is the
author of his own iniquity, for which
he himself is held accountable, and On
whose head is visited the punishment
deemed adequate by the higher law,
for his transgression. 1t is folly Tor
| HIM to endeavor to escape the PUNISH
ment, either by getting absolut'on, or
iaby prayer; the penalty is attached to
THE crime and cannot be disunited by
the most devout and pious divine in
ehristiandom. The "Five Points,
the shades" the Plutonian pits OF
iuiquity, where vice is made to blush
at its own hideousness, is the legltl-
mate offspring of society. In all the
causes assigned for female degradation.
there is none that deserves more at
y tention than the unjust diiterenee II
the wages given to each, for similar
service. Thus where a man gets one
dollar per day, woman will receive

Our Foreign Policy.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Mrahi, under date Of August
90, srys:
We have reason TO believe that Lori
John RusseiI's letter relative TO the propo'
silion for a lripartile treaty has been an
swored By M. Marcy in a manner which
will not only convince the English Secre
Iary of State Of his want of correct geo.
graphical knowledge as 10 the distance be.
tween the United States and Cuba, but al
so Of the fact that any combination Of Eu.
roPeaD powers by which this country is
likely TO be nearly or remotely affected,
will not be regarded With indifference. We
are further Of opinion that The truly Amer.
lean doctrine enunciated by Dir. Everett
his celebrated State paper in reply to
Mcssrs. Champion and SariigeS, has been
endorsed and emphasized by the present
administration 10 the fullest extent. From
present appearances, while no disposition
is manifested 10 assume a hostile attitude
