Of man, he may yet see a voting woman
of whom his description will not prove to
be decent caricature.
"Before her divine love, exerted in the
appropriate sphere of woman, this mon.
arch of the physical world, (man,) win be
moulded in the spirit of his temper and
obedience to to the Likeness and image OF
a fawning and obedient babe in the arms
of this angelic being!" Did Mr.. D. in

of that picture of statuary which, to be
true to nature, must not represent the
man in any other attitude than that of

."Under the benign influence ofciviiiza-
ton and christianity, woman has been
lifted up into her sphere, until sho is aov
the governing seq OF all christian lands"
Yet most OF her attempts to govern have
only only been tolerated as necessary evils
and have been lamentable failures Truly
the government Of call christian lands
is badly managed! No wonder reform
is so loudly called for, nor need we des-

moved with the "boys in blue" to the
front. Should you not hide your head in
very shame for such offense:l that "every
man born into the world is born into it
for the purpose of filling the place of a
husband Every woman hat Is born iato
the world is born for the purpose of iiliing

may fill many places, having no reference
to his husbands hip, while the wife de-
grades herself if she strives for an office
disconnected with her wifehood | say if
he chooses to 20 educate them, | presume
no one will make objections. No one will

their mother, and if she has been properly
trained she will be all submission and

monstrous social and civil evils as these
connected with woman suffrage, | am

same little girls are safe from the fury of
"theso ravenous wolves"
