eat the time when she became mother,
when there should have been joy alone at the
thought that babe born into the world
she had turned to the wall and yvept because
lrer babe WIS girl. She remembered her own
experience, and she knew that before the babe
was educational ostracisrn ON account OF her
sex. There nothing before her but mar
riage, or, as has been said, there was the choice
between marriage and nothing, which, in many
cases, was simply a choice between two moth
ings."
"a choice between two nothings!" What
doom for n girl baby! At THAT happy era
when the fair sex shall have their rights, the
first measure adopted will be, in the nature of
things, that women shall not be outraged by
being made the mothers of girl babies, and
so tortured, that solace can only be found
in turning the face to the wall. Tho first reso-
luton shall run as follows Resolved That it
be made an irrevocable law of nature that
henceforth all babies born into the world shall
be boys" How the world is to get on for pop
ulation, if these boys cannot procure wives, is
too superficial n matter to enter into the con-
sideraton of these profound step-mothefs of
Nature. On woman's rights banners is hence
fortls to be blazoned, "Boy babies or none"
