Wednesday evening, to take measures for
establishing library and reading room for

rHE DIGNITY OF WOMAN AND THE ABoMiNATIoN
OF EHEDLEwoRK
Woman, in her sphere, as wife, mother
companion, 10 the noblest thought OF God
ever expressed on this earth, but thrown out
Of her sphere, she was the most wretched
thought ever expressed this side OF perdi-
ton Standing erect in her virtue is there
ANYTHING nobler than woman Man is SAID
in Scripture to have been made IA little low
err than the angels. Woman needs no such
comparison for she is fully their equal =.
Loud cheers. A woman, in the family cir
Gle, as wife or mother. is filling her sphere,
though unfortunately, by their own fault, or
without their fault, there are thousands who
remain single Woman can do little for
herself, and by herself that is lucrative, be-
cause she is not taught. We expect our
boys to do eyerything-to turn to any occu-
patton, to di, or cobble shoes but we eda-
cate women to be married, and first she is
taught to sew. Thank Heaven, sewing is
nearly over The needle is nearly gone
ruled out by tire machine. Needles have
done more injury to woman and the world
than ever the sword has DONE and through
the. abolition may for time afford injury
to woman. IL will in time be the better for
them.
ALARMING DEARTH OF HUSBANDS.

would retain woman in her present sphere.
Well. let them, at least, combine to get hera
good husband Whatever is right for man
to do. is right for a woman TO do Cheer
Bows are educated to earn a living or steal
it. (for some of them are educated to be pol
iticiaps, but womans education Is confined
to SO narrow a sphere that she has not fair
chance in the industrial avecations of life
But she will! achieve her rights when she
takes her tights for when woman is in
tent on havin, her rights, lie is a bold, brave
man who dares oppose her. Have you any
convention Of the number of women, mostly
single, that are employed in manufacturing
purposes? 1. is almost incredible, Hiss
Powell Says there are no less than 10000
engaged in stores, m nufactories, and other
laborinr sisuatons 1t was the population

THE NEED OF LIBRATy FOR WOMAN.

Libraries OF New York were easily aecessi.

Many of the readers Of Harper's Maya
zine remember the great race, many years
since, between the two famous horses,
Eclipse and Sir Henry, over the Long Island
Course. Eclipse being Northern horse,
was backed by Northern men; and Sir
Henry, for similar reasons, was the choice
of the Southerners, among whom was the
celebrated John Randolph who had been bet
ting heavily While the decisive heat was
being run. all eyes, of course, were intently
fixed ON the two horses and the greatest
excitement manifested. Oh the home stretch
Sir Henry had slightly the advantage of r.

shouted, two to one on Sir Hcary. II

the crowd around him. While this was
passing, however, Eclipse recovering him

turning to the point whence the yoi.:c pro-
ceeded, said, in his inimitably sarcastic man
ncr, Il didn't speak to you sir.
