Female Endurance.

A student in a Michigan school having
stated in an essay, that man had more en-.
durance than woman, lady took him
to task for his statement, and remarked
that she should like to see the thirteen
young men in the University locked up
in steel ribbed corsets, with hoops, heavy
skirts, trails, high heels, Penniers and
dozen, OF hair pins sticking into their
scalps, cooped up in the house year after
year, with no exhilarating exercise, and
see if they can stand it as well as girls.
Nothing, said she, but the fact that wo.
men, like cats, have nine lives, enables
them to survive thh present regime to
which dooms the sex. We think the lady
has much the best Of the argument, and
if the sex, as a whole, only possessed as
much of practical sense as Of endurance
we should sec them loop of some Of these
absurd customs and articles Of clothing
and thereby reduce the pains and disor.
ders and general breaking down which
leaves woman mere wreck while man
is in his greatest vigor.

ridden in this way thousands of miles.
As the train was moving off slowly from
Jefferson city, the boy got in his old

motion. The boy was hauled out of his
lurking place, and taking up a stone was

And who will ever say that have sinned,
For such wild glee was only meant for me,
To make folks stare at the frolic Of the wind

for they dread these long cold winters;
When down tore, with mighty big roar,
And blow all their work into splinters.

show a striving to contend with the grasp
