WhyLadies do not Fall Gracefully.

Fanny Fern says, in the Ledger, that
she never saw woman fall down grace
fully! Did she ever see a man fall gra-
cefully, would inquire Il is not ex-
actly pleasant thing for any one to fall,
either on slippery streets OF rough ones.
But is it not better to tell young ladies
how to stand up than to laugh at them for
falling down? Please tell Us why il. is so
needful for woman to hold on to a man.
Mrs. Fanny, in order that she may es-
cape this terrible catastrophe Of having
her new cloak put into wrinkles, and her
bonnet jammed, and her gloves split op.
en-, by the sudden conclusion of her hands
against the pavement. Why? Because
they don't walk enough to learn how
Boys go bounding along the streets with
perfect abandon. Men set their feet
down as if the earth was made for them
to stand erect upon. But women, espe-
cially women who are swell to do" as
the phrase is, go topping, and slipping,
and mincing along, and must needs take
the time and strength of man to hold
them up.
/ only want to see a woman walk upon
the street, to know her habits of life. In
dainty slippers, the tCelt supported woman
treads her Brussels carpets, and trips up
and down her softly draped dstairs, I'LL the
inequalities of the street are perfect hons
in her way, and she dares not brave them
though health, strength and duty, all lie
beyond, wooing her to their embrace.
There is great deal Of talk about wo-
men spinning ''street yarn" Wish there
were a thousand webs to be woven out Of
it every day. They would be webs Of
cloth of gold to many toiling heart, dra-
ping of rose color for the pale cheek,
strength for the arms Of the weak, and
sandals of power for the feet Of the trem-
bling.

man-all have aches and pains-all have
debility aud weakness--till II has become
so fashionable, that women are ashamed
of good health and vigorous life, and ae-
tually boast Of enjoying poor health. We
cannot talk too much about it. We can
not impress too strongly upon the minds
Of the people the necessity Of more ply
sical strength for the women of our land.
I do not complain that women do no. Ia
Dor enough, but that their employments
are not healthful.
Every man whose business Is indoors,
feels and knows that he must have out
door, active exercise, or his life is sacri-
feed to his business. He walks, and rides,
and strives for that which is preferable to
riches-health and vigor; but sees bis
wife dropping at home, and never for a
moment reflect that her whole life is pri-
son confinement, compared with his own.
Shut in close rooms, perhaps bound to a
cooking stove, with no objects or aims out
of doors, she does not spend ten minutes
a day in the open air on an average once
in a week, espeeiallyln winter AMI when
she does go out she is pinehed with cold.
pierced with the winds, slips up on the
ice, &C., takes cold, gets rheumatism,
neuralgia, headache, tOothache, or some
other of the three hundred and slxty-fye
aches that modern women claim as their
peculiar heritage, and the matter ends in
her not going out again till another nee
essity calls Cor it, and then the same
round goes on over again.
"Who's to blame 7'' you ask. Every
body-law and gospel, custom and habit,
men and women; but, most Of all, Mrs.
Grundy, the daughter Of public opinion,
and the wife of Mr., Uppertendom Grun-
dy, the millionaire, who, like the Jugger-
naut Of India, compels her victims to
throw themselves beneath their carriage
wheels, and without one twinge of con-
science, crushes out the lives Of her VIC
tins by thousands in this civilized and
christianized country of ours. It's time to
rebel. Don'tyou think so

Why Children Die.

The reason children die is because lheYs
are not taken care Of. From the day Of
birth they are stuffed with food, choked
with physic, sloshed with water, sufFocaled
in hot rooms, steamed in bedclothes. So
much for indoor. When permitted to
breathe breath Of pure air once a week
in summer; once or twice during the eolds
er months, only the nose is. permitted 70
peer into daylight. A little later they
are sent out with no clothing at all on the
parts Of the body which most need pro-
lection. Bare legs, bare arms, bare necks
girted middles, with an inverted umbrelsl
la to collect the air and chill the olherf
parts Of the body. A stout man goes out i.
in the cold with gloves and overcoat wool.
stockings, and thick, double-soled boots.
with cork between, and rubbers 6vet. -
The same day child three years old, an
infant in flesh, and blood, and bone and
goes out with shoes as thin
as paper. cotton socks, legs uncovered 70
the knees, neck bare; an exposure which
would disable the nurse, kill the nOiher
and make the father an invalid
for weeks, And why? TO harden ihem
to a mode Of dress which they are never
expected to practice. To accustom them.
to exposure with a dozen yearslater would
be downright fOolery. To rear Children q
thus for the slaughter-pen and then layit
to the Lord, is a shame.
