to this country and went into the navy He

How Women, Fall as workers.

the following story to illustrate the reason
/ why women do not usually prosper as well
as men In some of the professions for whicl
.ley would seem to be quite as well adopt
It seemed to me that women might esne-

his work, he feels that it is his life's business.
how to cut his future out of the little blocks
before him. Wife, family, home, happiness,
are all to be carved by his hand, and he set
Ties steadily and earnestly to his labor, de-
termined to master It, and with every incite-
mcnt squirting him on. He cannot marry
until he knows his trade. 1t Ia exactly tlle
other way with the girls. She may be as
poor as the youth, and as wholly dependent
upon her labor for her living. But She feels
that she willprobably be married by-and-by,
and then she must give up wood engraving
80 she goes on lstlessly; she has no ambi-
tlon to excel; she does not feel that her
happiness depends upon it, She will marry.
and then her husbands wages will support
her. She may not say so, said tho engrayer,
"bnt she thinks so, and 1t spoils her work"
The same is true with regard to many en-
ployments in which women have been en-
gagged. We know that as clerks at Wash
lngton they are far less useful than men.
Their habits of work are much less accurate.
and they do not give their minds to their
duties with tho same conscientiousness and
fidelity. The reason Is the same as that
given by our old bachelor They do moi
feel that these duties are tho business OF
their lile, and that their whole success or
failure depends upon the manner in which
they are performed. Whatever thoy do,
love, matrimony, and the care of house Of
their own, are always at the bottom Of their
thoughts.
