FEMALE CoUkAGE.-There is a branch of
general education which is not thought at all
necessary for women; as regards which, in
deed, it is well if they are not brought up to
cultivate the opposite. Women are not taught
to be courageous. Indeed, to some persons.
courage may seem as unnecessary for women
as Latin and Greek. Yet there are few things
that would tend to make women happier in
themselves, and more acceptable to those with
whom they live, than courage. There are
many women of the present day, sensible
women in other things whose panic terrrors
are frequent source of discomfort to them
selves and those around them.
Now, it is great mistake to imagine that
hardness must go with courage, and that
the bloom of gentleness and sympathy must
all be rubbed off by that vigor of mind which
gives presence of mind. enables person to
be useful in peril, and makes the desire to as
slst overcome that sickness of sensibility
which can only contemplate distress and diff
hculty. There as no beauty IN fear 1t is
mean, ugly, dishevelled creature. No statue
can be made of it that woman would wish
to see herself like.

LOCAL NEW s

FATAL AccIDENr.-We chronicled the fact,
yesterday, that a man was run over and killed on
the Western Railroad by the incoming New
York express train, on Thursday afternoon, but
we were unable to give any further particulars
We now learn that an inquest was held upon
the body by Coroner Day Of this city, and it ap-
pers that the accident happened, as before sta
ted, about one mile this side of Charlton station
The man was probably lying upon the track, as
he was not seen. nor vas it known that man
had been run over till discovered by the brakeman
Of the last car in the train. He rang the bell,
and the train was stopped as as possible
when it was found that life was not yet quite ex-
tnct The right leg leg entirely severed, be-
tween the knee and hip, and thrown a distance
of two rods from the body.
The man was evidently foreigner-probably
an Irishman. He was dark complexioned, his
face entirely shaven, and about 80 to So years Of
age. He had on striped shirt, light mixed
pants with patch on one knee, black frock coat,
vest with metal buttons, and black wooden cloth
cap. There was no mark on any of the clothing
In his pocket, were two pieces of paper, one Of
them fragment of letter, signed william
McElroy," in which William Munson and family
spoken Of, and something is said about going
to Cleveland. The other has on one side, por-
ton of a time table with the names of Ellen
Munson, Johney Munson, and George Munson.
On the other side occur the names Of VIM. Mum
son and Thomas Munson, and Canada West
There was also strap of patent leather, and
pocket comb, marked W NJ. A. Possibly these
particulars may lead to an Identification of the

DR. CHAPLIN ON WOMAN AND HER WORK
Dr. f. H. Chaplin, of New York. lectured at Ire.
mont Temple. Boston on Thursday evening, be
fore the Young Mems South End Benevolent
Association, on 'sWoman and her Work" The
lecture was a practical and pointed argument in
favor of the elevation Of woman to equality
with man. We copy brief sketch of his lecture
from the report in the Boston Journal:
woman, he said, was simply the equality of
man, nothing more, nothing less. He recognized
no such fact as mans or womans rights, IN dis
tipetire sense he only recognized human rights
10 the sense in which they belonged to both. Wo-
mans orbit was that of her humanity, and there
fore she was mans equal in the complex history
of humsnity equal before the law, as she was
equal before God and Christianity.
The lecturer alluded to the education of wo.
men, Woman should become what she would
be and do what she should do by genuine edu-
cation, and education should be selected as de-
velopnent of mental power, that the girl
should have the same path opened for her as the
boy. A liberal education should not unfit a wo
man for becoming wife and a mother any more
than il should man for the duties of a husband
and father, and in this sense the better wo-
man was treated the better she was fitted for the
humblest as well the greatest achievements.
Many Of our young women were only educated to
make match. We had horror OF gamblers, but
now many WOuSn were kauihicto lNi q AhNtSA
with the bait of beauty aud often they have their
loss as well as their hazard. Two souls were thus
bound together, not by a union of hearts, but by
gold, and thus they become like two hands pull
ing away from each other at each end of the
chain. To run across a room to open door for
a woman, or to lift her fan, was very different
from knocking her down and stamping upon her;
but both originated in mans supremacy. The
one was blunder, the other crime. Zap
plause)
The lecturer then spoke of woman's work.
Woman's true work what all conceded to her
the work OF home and Of the household-which
could never be undone by giving a woman educa-
tion. Many were content to fill these, and did fill
them, and it would be wrong to unstring these d.
vine harmonies but was it because they were d.
vine that nothing could take a woman away from
that which was nearest her hearth There were
women who must work perish, and those de-
partments Of labor which conventionalism now
permitted them to fill we're overcrowded. There
were many forms of labor which woman ought to
occupy, such as watch making, book keeping,
telegraphing, and such light work, which she
must have or perish-perish from want of work,
or of the pittance she received Tor it.
Among the women who must have work or per-
ish, there was another class, and that those
who persisted morally, twenty thousand of whom
walked in continued smile. but only smiled
at night beneath the gas. These women must
either work or starve, or do worse they were
human, and had done worse"
