70 Those who have secretly
sinned most heavily against true
wOmanhood are the most rigid
and intolerant in their denuncia-
tions, and we turn aside with sad
ness, not unmixed with contempt,
from the pitiful sight of one wo-
man by her words or looks, thrust
ing a miserable sister deeper in
the malebolge of sin and despair.
We are no advocate for what is
called woman's rights, but there
is one right which we think, in
virtue of her womanhood, she
should claim. The right of her
own purity, which should enable
her to pity and assist the most
fallen of mankind, without expos
ing herself to Injurious srrmises.
Harsh judgements, we suppose,
will continue as long as the earth
pursues it's ceaseless round, but as
its course seems somewhat erratic
OF late we may eventually arrive
at the Utopian felicity of a univer-
sal harmony.-[N. 0. Times. MI
