MISCELLANEOUS 1READING.

MANS DUTY TO WoXAN.-Let him learn to
be grateful to woman for~~this undoubted a.
chievement Of her sex, tbatit is she she, far
more than he, and she too often In spite of
him-who has kept Christendom from laps
ing back into -barbarsm-kept mercy and
truth from being utterly overborne by those
two greedy monsters-money and war. Let
him be grateful for this, that almost every
great soul that has led forward or lifted up
the race has been furnished for each noble
deed, apd Inspired with each patriotic and
holy aspiration, by the retiring fortitude of
some Spartan, or more than Spartan-some
Christian mother. Moses, the deliverer of his
people, drawn out of the Nile@by the Kings
dau shter, some one has hinted, is only
symbol of the way that woman's, better in
stincts always outwit the tyrannical diplo-
macy Of man. Let him. cheerfully remem.
ber that though the sinewy sex achieves enter.
prises on public theatres, it's the nerve and
sersibility of the other that arm the mind
and infame the soul in secret. "a man dis
covered American, but a woman equipped the
voyage" So everywhere; man executes tho
performance, but woman trains the man.

mother. lays down jewelry, her vanities, her
comfort. an. /. agts-1. .aa:gr...g Ell;
Above all, let not man practice on woman
the perpetual and shameless talseho0d of pre-
tending admiration and acting contempt
Let them not exhaust their! kindness in
adorning her person, and ask in return the
humiliation of her soul. Let them not as
sent to her every high opinion, as if sho
were not. strong enough to maintain it
against opposition; nor yet manufacture
opinion, for her, and force it on her lips by
dictation. Let them not cruelty her emo
tious, nor ridicule her frailty, nor crash her
individuality, nor insult her dependence, nor
play mean jests upon her honor in convivial
companies, nor handy unclean doubts of her
as !. wretched substitute for wit; nor whisper
vulgar suspicious of her purity, which, as
compared with their own, is like the immacu-
late whteness of angels. Let them remem-
Der that for the ghastly spectacle of
her blasted purity. they are, .answera-
ble. Let them multiply her social advan-
tages, enhance her dignity, minister to her
intelligence, and by manly gentleness, be the
champions of her genius, the. friends of her
fortunes, and the equals, if they can, of her
heart.-ReU. T. D. Huntington.
