The Council Bluffs nonpareil. [volume] (Council Bluffs [Iowa]) 1857-1867, 1859-03-19

In all ages, and in every country where
the custom. and edicts Of barbarism have
not checked and chained down the natural
impulses Of the human heart, wox.x has
been regarded With dssosion approaching
ilola.ry. From the srs. blush Of ,naidenly
loneliness, through all the successive stages
Of developmehs-ripe womanhood and gen
tie decline. a. sweetheart, wife and mother
she is the pole star Of hope, the centre Of
life and love, around which cluster the deep
@. and hoIiess affections Of man. The au-
,oera. Of the world, she wears the diadsm
with the grace Of an angel; and, while her
poaer is gentle as the breath Of morning, j.
is almost resistless as the will Of Deity
TAX Of woman's rights Why, she has
been queen Of hearts for six thousand years,
and her enchanted banner floats over the
lo.ds Of Creation to-day as proudly as
when FIRST she flung it TO the breeze. Her
government is abso.u.e-man knows it; and,
while she molds bis destiny at her will, be
reserences the power that elevates and en-
noble, him. Should she throw of her
queenly digni,y-should she lower tina. time
honored fag-,he potent spell which binds
his willing heart would be broken; the glory
would depart from the house Of Eve forev-
CIR; society would dissolve into chaos, and
the noble bark freighted with the hopes and
aspi-atious of the whole human family would
be das:.ed to atoms on the breakers Of
:: woman's rights"
4 few, even al. ong the Ioblest OF women,
may become so thoroughly imbued with the
spirit Of enthusiasm as to mistake change
for reform and, laboring under this delu-
sion, they may conscien.iously Gu. loose from
the great sisterhood of the sex, hoist anoth-
er flag, and wear themselves out in futile
sgort TO charm away, with tongue and pen,
the fascination Of womanly reserve, and
bring down the beings we ldolize to level
with the prosy clod.hoppers we are our
selves. But, thanks to the modest conserv-
stism Of womankind, these "strong- minded"
ones are to the masses only as the dashipg
comets are to the countless orbs which wheel
in silent grandeur through the heavens. And,
strangely enough, among all the daughters
of Eve " the girls " furnish fewer advocates
OF the &" womau's rights" doctrine than any
other class. Our girls, believe, afford not
n solitary instance. But, though they ig-
more the theoretical humbug which, reduced
to practice, w9u...1l transform them into gassy
politicians ara ov.tcI warriors, they Anow
their rights as well as any girls the wide
world over, and knowing dare maintain
them. The ADVANCE guard Of civilization
anl rcGn'ment, they are beating back the
heathsHi,h customs which settle down like
harpies on the unw airy pioneer, and wearing
of the rough corners from the characters Of
fathers, brothers and lovers.
Fred with the spirit Of Western progress,
and fully sensible tha. Nature has blessed
THIS region with lavish hand, they are lend
ing the light of their smiles, and their ire
sistible influence, toward making Council
Bluffs what Pork oplis now claim, to be, the
Queen Of the Vest Perhaps, in the
eyes Of a Broadway dandy, our girls might
