Il Wdrni1eg to Husbands.

A lady in the Revolution
(SiSter Anthony's paper) writes.
as follows:
The great want of women at
present, is money-money for
their personal wants, and mon
ey to carry out their plans. L
propse that they shall earn it,
that they shall consider it is
honorable to work for board,
and | demand for them equal
pay for equal work, l demand
that bearing and rearing of
children is the most exacting
of employments, and involving
the most terrible risks, shall be
the best paid work in the world,
and that husbands shall treat
their wives with at least as
much consideration, and. ac-
knowledge them entitled to as
much money as wet nurses.
The meaning of this is, that
wives are about to strike for
greenbacks; SO much for every
baby born, MOI greenbacks,
no more sons and daughters
No greenbacks, no more popu.
lation; no more boys to carry
forward the great enterprise of
the age. The scale of prices
for maternal duties are given
as follows:

longed, to join his brother Peter with the
blessed band that dwells with Him who rules
the world, within the promised land. Dear

You here. But why should we grieye for him
who is now in holier sphere? Dearest Uncle,
we part with you in hope that we shall meet
again above, in heavens blissful home, and
there with God remain. tta
Your mission here on earth is e'er-your work

Your life has been with virtue fraught, and

Thou hast been kind and loving bonefactor

lost true and valued friend. Time can never
efface from their memory thy noble deeds of
virtue, performed during your stay among us.
