UOUANS RIGHTS, OR SOME THING EX-
CLUSIVELYFOR QUE MALE READERS.

We believe in Womans Rights, and 10 prevent any
Misunderstanding shall again define our position.
Ia the first place ldb0rer, she has right to en-
,sce in any work TO which her skill and strength are
equal There is no reason in the world why dozen OF
fields of profitable employment, now shut against her
=. Guild not be opened her taste aud talent-sellng
dry goods, setting type, keeping accounts, engraving
designing matchmaking, &c. There are many such
dene,tents of labor in which she could not only sue
coed in making a living, but IN which her success
would surpass in skill and Efficiency that OF persons who
now usually fill those places
Tbi. right To larger field of labor being conceded,
we mention il IA a second right of woman to receive
fFQgcs for her r0rk. Ii Ii disgrace to CHRISTIAN
lied and civilized community to pay only hall pnce
because the work has been done by woman. we
cannot col ceive of more unjust thing than Ia pay
woman half wages because she Is the weaker sex
and vet with few exceptions, women Will work IN
many kinds of labor side by eide with men, ana when
evening comes be paid OF in half or two thirds wages
II might be more unjust, hut il could not be mcaner
if you required her 10 work for nothing ire rtSht

Then. AGAIN. woman has rights as a rife. She has
Alright TO know her husbands business, she has right
to know his friends and habits she has right 10 ms
company and respect As the i9Aor oi the house, she
has a right TO a convenient and comfortable house.
One half of our wives through the country, 1.-Two out
oply half of their days in health and happiness, be-
cause their kitchens not Bt 10 IRE ana TOrh m
Now we say woman has a right 10 the best kitchen
parily husbandhas any more nghtto put the Kitchen
in the cellar than he has to put his wife IN the pest
house. The wife, whose days are often AL spent IN
the kitchen, has right 10 have II ABOVE GROUND wen
MANNED fitted with cOnvenences Of every KIND, Tor
cooking washing ironing, &C. She has night, and
so have her daughters and domestics, house
convenient well, with pumps in order, TO clothes
ward with posts for a clUtht slime, &c. No man has
right 10 drive his women folks, every wash day, to
fence stakes barn doors, the neighborDg orchard or
some other chance provision TO tasten the waShpe;
Let the clothes. yard have well kept fuJ 80 lha'

washed over again.
Uom0n has rightS, too, as daughter. She has q
right to as good education as her brothers receive
She should not be put of with reading writing ana
cyphering" We DO not say she should have the sane
| e;mcation but we say a. gOOd an education; and II
her father leaves any money when lie dies We more
over say that his daughters have night To an equal
share with the II is great mistake 70 suppose
that because women don't smoke, nor chew, nor keep
fast horses nor drink &C., that daughters need only
We would beg to suggest another right which We
think woman is entitled to- and that H. to have some
tbro else beside fqticry and taikef 10 her.
We would venture to remark to our young men, that
sensible young lady is at least as sensible a. loo oi
young man perhaps, IN some cases, even more 50.
Don think yourself disagreeabe, II your lace Is not

| right and duty TO do ii.
| There are many other " womans rights which we
| might have mentioned, and Of which we are ady0-
| Gates. hut these must suffice for the present
The above is from that frst-rae Buckeye produc-
ton. The OHIO Farmer. We indorse it, and beg to
offer the following amendment:
A woman, as the widow of man whom she has
assisted to accumulate property, has the right by the
law Of reason and COMMON sense, though legally de
priyed of it, to manage her husbands aud her own
property after his death, in her own way, and only
subject to the same liability that he was. 1t IS one OF
the gr, attest wrongs Of woman that she s treated by
the law with no more consideration after her husbands
deatb than if she had been his slave instead OF his
partner in all the pursuits Of life; Often too, the
| leading partner Of the concern, who had done more
than her husband toward the accumulation OF prop
e-y. and she should be treated bis surviving part
per and permitted 10 close or carry the business Of
the firm in her own way after the partners death, for
the benefit Of his or her family and the creditors OF the
estate.
There are some rights that women claim that 1T Is
not right thew should. It is not right for woman 10
claim as right the of tired, herd-abonng man
on his way home from bis daily toll in city railway
car a. she Is altogether much in the habit OF dong
| We edmire courtesy, pOliteness' and gehtIemany
| cordrc, toward women aud we advocate their r'ghs
a. rgy as any body, but cann)t 'oncede 10 them
the right to look ugly ard feel ditto in crowded car
because somebody don't instantly jump up and give
them a seat when they take the right 10 crowd IN
where there is already room.
