was present In state. Some Of our country
men having previously indulged in "pota-

state Of sobrfety, and having been admitted
with every possible courtesy, repaid 1t, first
by obtfudinR themselves into tie vicelfegal
circle where they amused themselves by

proceeding TO demonstrate, by all the means

A Gifted Woman Eloquently Determines
the Need of Her Sex. 1

tne Need OIL hcr Sex.
Margaret Fuller truthfully and eloquently
observes:
1t is not the transient breath of poetic IN
sense that women want; each can receive
that from lover. 1t is not lifelong sway;
it needs but to become a coquette a shrew,
or good cook, to be sure of that. It is not
money, nor notoriety, nor the badges of au-
thority which men have appropriated to
themselves. If demands, made in their be-
half lay stress on any Of these particulars,
those who make them have not searched
deeply in the need. The want is for that
which at once includes these and precludes
them; which would not be forbidden power,
lest there be temptation to steal and misuse
it which would not have the mind perverted
oy fattery from a worthiness of esteem; Il
is for that which is the birthright of every
one capable of receiving 1.-THE freedom, thu
religious, and the intelligent freedom OF the
universe, to use its means, to learn its secret
so far as Nature has enabled them, with Goo
alone for their guido and their Judge.
Ye can not believe it, men; but the only
reason why womenever assume what is moro
appropriate to you, is because you prevent
them from finding out what is fit for them
selves. Were they free, were they wise, fully
to develop the strength and beauty of Woman
they would never wish to be men, or man
like. The well-instructed moon flies not
from her orbit to seize on the glories of her
partner. No; for she knows that one law
rules, one heaven contains, one universe re-
plies to them alike. ~ 7q j,.lt.t Ilt' -r

An. .ApyEYTuRoUs SOLDIER 7AeRoBArING ON
a CAfHIpRAh SPRE.-,Not long ago soldier
IN Strasbourg ascended to the top of the
Cathedral spire and performed elevated gym
nastics. Orders were Immediately given by
the police to 7preventthe repetition of any
such proceeding, but, soon after, the same
man whow formerly sailor on board the
Bale Poule, eluded the vigilance of the guar
dians by Disgusting himself and with several
other persons ascended to the platform, from
which the spire rises. When there, as the
guardian refused to open the door of the
stairs leading to the top, the ex-sailor climed
up the bar of the lightning conductor, and so
reached the weathercock again. He then
stripped off his disguise, flung It down to the
square, and went through a select acrobatic
programme concluding by standing on his
head ON the weathercock When he de-
scended, howeyeryhe found a commissary OF
police IN waiting, attended by a file of SOL
diers, who took him into custody for violat-
