Ignorance of Women.

DR.. c. S. Lozier, of New York, female ply
scian. thus refers to prevalent cause of disease
among women:
Il see no efectual remedy for the evil bat free
discussion On the subject among women. There
is among them deplorable ignorance of every
law of their being. A young lady, last week,
tainted on the floor of her dancing school. A
patient Of mine being present assisted to loosen
her clothing, and tells me she found next her
body. around her waist. steel belt or girdle
made to compress her form. Another lady told
me, few days since, that her family doctor ad-
vised her to dress her young daughter as tightly
as she could possibly draw her corset, to cure
palpitation of the heart. The foolish mother be-
lieved and obeyed, and shortly buried her daugh-
ter. know of many facts Of a similar nature
coming to me in my daily practice, which pro-
fessional etiquette forbids me to publish. 1 am
convinced that three-fourths of cur christian
women are suicides, and physically more to be
pitied than the snallfooted Chinese or the fat
headed Indians"
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1868-07-21
Justice to Women.

A bill has passed on to second reading in
the British Parliament, the object of which is to
take away from husbands the unbOunded control
over the property of their wives, which they
have possessed from the times of hoary antiquity,
and which is worthy of those ''good old times"
of injustice and oppression
The old fogies object to any disturbance of
this denial of justice, so promotive of domestic
oppression; but it must go the way of all other
letters on human rights. We hope to see the
day when it will be wiped out in every State of
the Union. When England is awaking to this
absurd I'M justice and wickedness of past ages, it
is time that we should bestir ourselves wherever
it is in force and destroy all traces of such a
degradation Of one-half of our race-we say half,
for if every woman is not married, she is going
to be, or it will not be her fault.
1t is objected that it will make ''the sex" too
high-minded, and that they will get entirely
above themselves. This argument is absurd
for it is notorious that they already wear the
breeches in every wel-regulated family, and it is
useless to deny the fact.
Suppose, however, that they have all this
power, which no gentleman should deny, would
any further damage be caused were it increased?
If they rule their husbands now, they can't do
any more than that anyhow; and so they may as
well have as full control over all their property
as they now have over that particular chattel
the husband.
Seriously speaking, however, we think that
some provision should be made to secure wives
and families from the trouble and want too often
now the result of unfortunate marriages. How
many widows would proper enactment In regard
to the property of women save from restitution
now caused by the power given by law to spend
thrift and drunken husbands

Home and Friends.

o there's power to make each hour
AS sweet as Heaven designed it;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it.
We seek too high for things close by,
And loose what Nature found US;
For life hath here no charms so dear
AS home and friends around US.
We oft destroy the present joy
For future hopes-and praise them,
While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
1t we'd but stoop to raise them;
For things afar still sweeter are,
When youths bright spell hath bound us;
But soon we're taught the earth hath naught
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
Do show us still, that, come what will,
We are not quite forsaken.
Though all were night, if but the light
e. From friendships altar crowned US,
'Twould prove the bliss of earth was this
Our home and friends around us.

CORPORATIONS have Souls.

The subject OF Life Assurance is attracting the
tention of almost every man. Capitalists avail
ing themselves of the opportunities it affords for
profitable investment, and poor men seeking it
a refuge for their dependent families. While all life
assurance societies financially sound and firm,
the record of each will show, how important that
spirit of high toned liberaty and integrity should
characterize the decisions G. those who officers
and directors, control the payment OF losses!
The Equitable Life Assurance Society OF the United
States shares largely IN the public confidence the
names of those honored Philadelphians, George II.
Stuart, Thomas A. Biddle, and Theodore Cuyler,
acting directors therefor, being sufficient guarantee
to all The following instance, however, illustrates
clearly the generous and noble sentiments that do
and will guide its officials in the settlement of claims
which arise from the death Of its MEMBERSHIP ohm
Thompson, deceased, has resided in this city many
years. doing business at Spruce street wharf, and
for years has been insured in The Equitable for
the sum of ten thousand dollars. All his premiums
were promptly paid, except the last, which fell due
on Monday, October Is, 1866
On Tuesday October &C. the agent of the Society
called at the office Of Mr. T. and learned that he was
dangerously i'll. Returning, he found the of Mr.
Thompson with a check drawn by MIR L. himself on
Saturday, October IS, for the amount of premium.
Under these circumstances, the agent could not re-
ceive the premium, and thus revive the forfeited
policy without the consent of the Society, whom
the facts at presented, October 1S): and
after the Society had been informed Of the death of
Mr. Thompson, J. Alexander, Esq replied fol-
lows 1--WE think it best under the circumstances
to receive the premium Thompson's policy, and
will not make the failure to pay the day the pre-
MUM due a for declining to pay the loss
We certainly legally bound to it, but
the parties appear to have acted in good faith
prefer to icur the loss rather than take advantage of
their neglect Please receive the premium ard issue the
receipt
Is there one individual of the large number insured
by THE Equitable who will not approve and ap-
plaud this generous action? Certainly, after such
praiseworthy conduct, cannot endorse the old
saying: Corporations have souls
Highly commendable as the above instance of liber-
atty on the part of The Equitable Life Assurance
Society certainly is yet it forms by means ex
ception to the general system of dealing with their
policy holders This justly-popular Society Arrays
pays its losses with the most honorable prompness
having contested a claim, thereby leaving
tainy whatever concerning it's ability and willing
ness to settle all claims of similar character
