associate with legal men at intervals, and have some
one suitable for a teacher The TEXTBOOKS can be
read at home when have obtained some idea for what

PecuDiary difficulties, brought on by the cupidty OF
our law interpreters fret led her to think, M women
could manage Their property much of anxiety
81 and difficulty might be escaped and hence the law
to be interpreted for women by women became the
great subject of thought with her.
Herr il fine opportunity for the exercise OF chvalry
in hering women 10 tie legal profession. No woman
SHOULD be tried condemned, and executed by men, IL
burning shame to the age that our statutes are such
that it may be done and | hasten TO urge our young
rrs who are eating ont their hearts and brains by
writing maudn poetry IN mediocre novels, 10 turn
their GodiDspired taleuts nober purposes aud 10y
hard, honest study Of the law, put themselves IN
position 10 help themselves and their In this way
ey can aid each other in the rights of property and
In the security of life. T.. OAKEs SMITH.
