the -sPhere OF woS24n- TIE sphere
q0e-tsOe gener1Ily ss becoming Ob-
solese L. t.ri, Mother Earth ber-
self has systematically farfened her
poles, thereby intoxicating the great
moral lesson, that one should not he
too tenacious of ones sphere. aud
since the Empress Eugenie took to
barricading herself with watch
springs, it is perfectly evident that
woman, ut least, has only to assume
whatever sphere she pleases, and at
once her right to it will be accorded.
l tiud it difficult to believe that man,
that high-spirited creature, has 50
tamely consented, for so many years,
to all the inconveuiences incident to
the undue circumference of woman.
Once. when the watch.spring had at
tanned its maximum circumference,
aud the appearance of two of them
upon the sidewalk had crowded
portly gentleman into dangerous
proximity to an apple~stand, 1 heard
an exclamation :hat sounded like
mildam," but I afterwards learned
that the gentleman was about estab-
fishing woolen-factory, and pos
sessed one of those highly concentra.
tive minds that give the habit of mon
ologue. As a rule, the dear, patient
creatures never seem to suspect that
half the territory in the world belongs
to them.
1 am interested in man. I cannot
say, with the excellent woman in the
poem, that
"Ihad husband once, who loved me-"
If had ever possessed that article it
is not at all certain that he would
have loved me, as may appear in the
sequel. l have, however, father
a dear, good white headed man-and
a brother, whose hair will undoubted-
ly be white, if he lives long enough,
and, I repeat it, I am interested in
man. l am also interested in birds
aud dogs, and particularly in cats.
But no class of animated beings ap-
peals to my conscience as man does.
1 feel that a destiny far surprising
that of cats, is clearly his birthright,
and while nothing can prevent his
finally reaching this high estate, the
period of its attainment may be great
ly retarded by injudicious treatment
on the part of woman. Not that wo.
man would Intentionally throw the
smallest straw in the way of mans
progress, but l have observed that
the course usually pursued by mar
ried women is in the highest degree
ill-adviscd. All will agree that the
first care of woman should be, the
achievement of those lofty virtues in
man which will shine with un-
dimmed splendor when time shall
have been carefully rolled up in
napkin and deposited in the grand
museum Of the universe. Yet the
daily conduct of wives is such that
egotism and arrogance are like Ia
overisy with a sort of moral guf;a
percha all the nobler traits of man
