Oft Two heard a gentle mother,
As the twilight hoars began,
Pleading with son, of duty,
Urging him to be a man.
But unto her bl--e-eyed daughter,
Though with loves words quite as ready,
Points she out this other duty,
Strive, my dear, to he lady"
What's lady Is it something
Aaee OF hoops, and silks, and airs,
Used to decorate the parlor.
Like the fancy rugs and chairs:
Is It one who wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human:
Il It's this to be a lady,
Iis not this to be a woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak Of something higher far.
Than to be a NEE fashions LADY
. Woman" is the brighter star.
Ii We in your strong affection.
Urge your son to be true man.
IFge your daughter no less strongly,
To arise and be woman.
Yes, a woman-brightest model
Of that high and perfect beauty.
Where the mind, and soul, and body.
Blend to work out life's great duty.
BE q woHlza-naught Is higher
On the gilded list Of fame;
On the catalogue OF virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
Be 4 woman-on to duty,
Raise the world from all that low.
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair and radiant bow.
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our natures human;
BE not fashions gilded lady,
BE brave-whole-souled woman

She sits IN the lighted parlor,
And waits for her tardy beaux;
She plays with her little fingers,
Sic trots her little toes;
She calls Tor her Spanish poodle,
She calls for her China fan
She kisses her long-eared puppy,
And wishes il was a man!
Her mother stays in the kitchen,
Dressed in her coarse attire
She freezes over the ices.
And roasts herself over the fire.
She makes some nice CONNECTION,
some delicate kind Of treat,
OF ices, and creams, and jellies,
For her daughters beaux 70 eat,
