4 growth, maturity and mastery Of different
principles working out into actual, hard
existence, of things and thoughts which had
either been ignored OF uncared for before, and
which subsequently,, perhaps, dropped into q
second oblivion, Thus we have the Augustan
era. famous for letters, and the reign Of Queen
Aune, celebrated for the same reason; we have
the period stamped with the impress of chivalry
tby Ceur de Lion and SaIadin, and another
stamped with the history Of war and glory
under Napoleon We have, teo, the luxurious
| and even voluptuous times of Louis XIV. and
Charles HSmore gorgeous and extravagant
| than those of Nero or Caligula. In fact, every
age is distinguished from every other by some
especial characteristic, precisely as every ind-
vidual is individualised by some popularity of
#countenance, not to be found elsewhere.
Wemay err in our estimate Of the controlling
feature of this age, but, if we do not, future
ages supposing the movement does not prevent
them altogether-will be the /" Revolt Of the
Women and Establishment of Petticoat Supre-
macy mot that pleasant, domestic supremacy
Of love- bright eyes and red lips, which has ruled
mankind from the throne to the novel ever
since Adam-but hard political superiority
and control operating by means of votes, pro-
CARNATIONS, protocols and DEGREES. The signs of
the times all indicate the approach Of this new
| Aee-of Iron, and its advent comes on with mar
velous rapidity. A few years ago, none Of the
Miss Nanoy's, written OF read about, ever
dreamed Of breeches unless they had q man in
them, or Of straddle- back riding unless accom-
pliahed by masculine This state Of affairs
has gradually faded away, and Mrs. Bloomer
goes into the breeohes herself while Fanny

adopts the furcate styleof equitation, Ali the
rights, privileges, and immunities of the sex
male are melting from their fingers and in
century hence there will be, at the present rate
of progress. an utter impossibility of distin-
gushing the girls from the boys or telling
whether it is aswife or brother that is to be
kissed. The reformers have taken the heels
from off our boots, and, in some instances,
taken the boots entire they have donned stand
ing collars and shirt bosoms, if not the whole
thing -appropria our vests, and bedeoked
and bedizzened them equal to the times Of Eliza

Boomers plan for the gradual acquisition Of
pantaloons. In order to get into hats they have
quit the use Of bonnefs, and that they need NOT
DO tied up at home with theibaby, have invented
and introduced patent machine, called baby
jumper, which will keep the young pledge
bounding between the floor and ceiling from
morning till night and never let it tumble out.
Several Of the gentler sex have encased them
selves in full masculine rig, including cigars and
cocktails, and-not being SO far advanced as the
bearded women have adorned themselves with
false Whiskers and moustaohe We regret to
state that the arm of the law has embraced

In order more rapidly to bring about the hiiss-
full period when the whole world shall be the
women's and the fulness thereof, sundry mass
meetings have been held in those Northern cities
where mass meetings are held on every subject,
from salvation to small beer, and congreea-
ton of masculine females and female masculines
have spoken and spouted, and spouted and spo-
ken, until their voices, purses and audiences,
gave out. Some of these hermaphrodites have
been atheistical, some political, some ethical;
some advocate female doctors and lawyers and
parsons !. some want an agrarian law and gem
sral division Of property some want to go to
Congress, some want to have control Of their
husbands, and the wants and wishes of the bal.
lnce are innumerable.
The latest demand. Of the females--the last
parallel advanced in the siege against mascu-
inc entertainments and heredit airy rights-is
hat Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Jones shall be al
owed to vote as well as their husbands, and
nat the Llzzies, Nellies and Marys we love-
hall have an equal voice and power in munich
az elections as their admiring swains, Such d |
tate Of things would be attended with a few |
lfhcuities, us Mrs. Brown might choose to 90 |
the-same side of politics as Mr.. Jones, to Mr..
