II Wonan's Field of Ldtor-Whife a largs
number of women are parading through the
country, discoursing increasingly of the rights
of their sex, and holding meetings innumerable,
for the redress of their supposed wrongs, il may
not be impportuneto saya few words concerning
those same rights or make a remark or two
upon her wrongs.
Concerning the former, We are inclined to
think that woman who possesses the right
to be what the God of nature intended She
should be-a fit help mate for the sterner sex
must, if possessed of those kindly, afectonate
attributes peculiar to her sex, conceive herstlf
amply possessed of all rights necessary for her
enjoyment; and will find sufficient employment;
for her mental lowers, in performing, with dill
gencc, the duties which that right entails upon
her. That is, we conceive that woman's sphere
is peculiarly in the domestic circle; for thers
she possesses power to charm the fancy and
soothe the pains and passion Gilman, which she
loses when outside its sacred pale. We have
never been; are not, aud, We trust, shall never
be an advocate for those rights which would
take woman from this sphere, and place her on
the political platform. or at the ballot box.
While, therefore, we are inclined to condemn
as unnecessary the very prevalent cry for Wo-
mans rights which, ifshe received them, would
but wrong her gentle nature; we cannot close
our eyes to the fact that woman is oppressed by
urOngs which should be removed. Not the
least Of these is the limited sphere of labor a.
loted her, and the paltry compensation she re-
ceves for such labor as she is permitted to en-
gage in. That there are occupations now sole
" engaged in by men, in which woman can be-
employed to much greater advantage--fur
which heresmall and active hand is much moro
suitable than that of mainland, in word, for
which she is every way more adapted by nature;
is fact too apparent to be disputed. And
these real wrongs call for redress, and, we doubt
not, would have been removed long since, If
but half the effort made for the attainment Of
fanced rights, had been applied for that pur-
pose The field open now to female labor IS
too limited; the compensation she receives for
her labor is too small. Occupations peculiarly
suited to her capacities are usurped by men;
work performed by her is moderated at public
martS; she is oppressed BY that employer who
deals out to her paltry compensation for her
handiwork and toll. These are some Of the
most prominent wrongs which she is now COM
PEELED to endure, but which, we trust, will soon
be removed.
Let women, cease to dabble in public
places, about political rights and privileges,
apply her powers to this subject, and success
will crown her efforts; woman's sphere of labor
be enlarged, her comforts increased, and man
will have causeto rejoice in tina smiles of NO.
mans happiness.

National Exhibition Of HORSES There ia to
be held at Springfield, Massachusetts,, mex.
month, under the auspices of the United States
Agricultural Society, National Exhibition of
imported blood and American breeds of horses
This being the first exhibition of the kind in
the United States it will be looked to with
interest. The state premioms amount to about
$2000-in addition to which the committee pro
poses liberal sum of money, with Medals ard
Diplomas for discretionary distribution.
The four and half millions of horses in this
country, representing value of Sl7O00a,00O,
constitute an interest of great magnitude, and,
economically considered, such efforts as tend to
improve the quality and enhance their value
should be met with appreciation and encoura.
ged by support.
The character of the individuals composing
the Executive Committee of the United States
agricultural Society, and Of the special Board
Of Managers and Local Committee, warrants
he expectation that this first National Exhibi-
zion of Horses will be cordially seconded BY
he adm irers of this noble animal, and prove
worthy of 90 grand an enterprise.

GO AHEAD.

Go ahead-and do not tarry.
Nought is gained by standing still;
What though you at times miscarry,
Let not fears your bosom fill.
Search the causes of your errors,
Gather wisdom from the past,
To the wind give idle terrors,
And you'll get ahead at last.
Go ahead-in useful daring
Let our motto be "I'll try;
He who ever is despairing,
Bankrapt heart and hopes is nigh.
What though YOU and wealth be strangers
Onward, upward be your aim,
And those real or filncied dangers,
Soon you'll put to iyht or shame.
Go ahead-the world reforming,
In civil, moral freedoms name.
All those forts and outposts stOrming,
Which your enemies may claim
Yield no bulwark, take no quarter,
Compromise no cherished right,
Freedoms treasure never barter,
Blu; stand for them with your might.
Go ahead, then-don't defer it,
Lilies short span soon fiirts away;
If you'd finish aught OF merit,
You must p y your task to-day.
Set the ball in instant motion,
To keep it going strain each nerve,
Nor doubt that Ultimate promotion
Will yield the aure!s you deserve.
