thought nowadays, upon this far
famed question. Woman and her =
rights have been canvassed again and v
arain. till we are as familiar with the &
arguments on either side Of the ones =
ton. as with the cradle rhymes that =
lull unconscious infancy to rest, or the \
sweet household words that are SO dear
t. US. There is still great diversity
Of opinion as to what constitutes a
woman's rights. Whateverthe rights
OF woman may be, it is certainly not
only unjust but inexpedient to with
hold them. Man defrauds himself
when he withholds them. For is not
woman to be his constant companion!
Would he choose that his companion
should be destitute Of ideas! Surely
not. The conversation Of an educated
woman is q perpetual feast. II the
first pleasure Of life is action, the sec
ond surely is talk; and there is almost
as much pleasure in talking about
things as doing them. A man wants
in wife not only companion but 2
counselor. No one mind ever saw all
sides Of all subjects, nor ever all sides
Of one subject. And the wisest sug-
gestions not unfrequently come from
the least informed. The Pythoness
the Sybils, were women, because wo
men were always supposed to enjoy {
nearer access to the fountain Of wis
dom than men. But amid all the jang
ling and speculative dispositions Of
this subject, some of woman's mos
obvious rights have been entirely over
looked. We can merely glance ct
few Of these.
Il Is obvions that women have
right to good husbands, because mos
Of them mean to do the thing that

An INDIGNANT UoG.-We witnessed
the other day, on one Of our streets, q
striking instance Of sagacity in hog.
A human being, who had imbibed too
much ssold red eye" to be pleasant
companion for the Lar-room, was put
in the street, and it not requiring a.
great stretch Of the imagination to-
make the street ssseem soft as downyI
pillows are,' and his knees being sim
gularly weak, he was soon comiorta-
bly, snoozing in the mud, happily IN
conscious Of the jibes and sncers Of
his fellow mortals. But his sweet
'slumbcrs were destined to be disturbed.
ia large hog on seeing him seemed to
! view him as infringing on his rights
by wallowing in tho mud, and with
numerous indignant grunts, and bris'
. ties proudly erect, Immediately set te
1 work to resent the insult by rolling tho
: intruder away. After turning hin
. over, SO that he could get at his face
with o terrific swine-like scowl Ia
q blew breath seemingly Of warming
i and defiance into his very nostrils -
is The man raised on his elbow, and witt
y a yawn managed to havethe hog smel
II his breath, which 50 affected him tia
: he Immediately lost his courage, curl
y ed down his tail, lowered his bristlcs
aIand ran for cold water, much to tn
r amusement Of several bystanders VIII
m were witnessing the performance.

Our great need 10 10 forget Europe, with All its trs
dticps and TO seek God vital nurment sresh every
day. The devil has hitherto always symbollzed
state Of humanity in which seli.love was under the
eotrced allegiance of brothery-love and conse-
ousnty he sought refreshment in making men
druDksrds, gamblers, 'adulterers and murderers.
But surely, flbustering is vastly better than thus.
Cant Rynd, n ard Gen. Walker may belong
spiritually 10 the lower house but what greatly I'M
proved types are they Of that locale Ihey
may frighttn timid people by their bluster,
but they do not drown their human faculties 10
drink they are not nece ssaIly hars s"indlers, nor
murderers. They are in fact capable of certain
large humanitary uses. Well the clear reason OF
this ip. that that old state of man has passed away,
and ano'her state supcrvened>l in which the devil or
selfloye spontaneously submits ltseli to neighb0rly
love. This great Proyidentisl achievement IN the
life of man, is what il behOOyes our dlynes aud poll
tcians TO study and confess. The Yankee devil mas
neither horns nor hOofs. In passing through Eu'
rope. LIE has laid aside all lis African and Assuc
maliepity. so that b. will finally turn up in Amrrica
a most vvacious and enterprsing indeed, but also
most harmless and al.accOmpllshed gentleman. H.
therefore. Our churchmen would begin 10 preach
little more the eternaly risen Christ as well as the
once crucifed one: if our statesmen commenced no
law 10 us but spiritual law the law OF the spirit
of human fellowship, with only the duties
thence accruing-then America, Instead oi
being as now the nope OF le" PcuulIs
English merchants and manufacturers, who want
an undisturbed market for their goods
and care for no hOler interest would yndlcate the
clear resplendent mission 10 which God called her'
in becoming the scourge of oppression and the
shield of freedom in every corner of the civilized
world. Our money-changers fairly fill the cham
bers of our ecclesiastical and political house sitting
all noble and generous aspiration. Let Captain
Rynders and the rest be the rods in Gods hands TO
purify that desecrated house of this usurpIng com.
psny and theD at last when all that is dlynest ana
best in the human bosom is ready TO claim its own,
these esunt and unhandsome but not wholly unln-
spred rowdies, will spontaneously decline to more
modest functions. Instead of aspiring to con-
epicsity for which they are only exceptionally
fitted, they will gladly give the lead to God,inspired
men, and find in the ranks an ample field for the
play of their noisy conceited, and, on the whole
teryiceable attributes. H. J.

There is another important fact connected with this

Th, new Constitution Of Minnesota provides for the
