TIE SACRED SEX.
From the Saturday Revlew.]

What constituted the old. sacredness OF wo-
nan? For one thing, her very confession OF
weakness; but mainly her upo5trusiVe lille OF
help and love, the holiness OF her function as
mother. the sweetness Of her Office as wife.
No ISLANDERS could invade the home where she
was at once queen and guarded; and save for
the feminine follies which came to the surface
and were fair game for satire, no one despiSed
or scorned her. 1t has been reserved tor our
own day to see women OF culture and class
refinement publicly challenge the disdalnful
of their age 10y an unseXed amb1-
.tIon like to nothing 80 much as the prowess OF
the Amazons of Dahomey, or the patriotism
of les Danes de la Halle. But Though they
have unsexed themselves, and trampled un-
der foot most Of the qualities Which nave
hitherto been their glory and their crown,
thew have tried to keep hold of the sacred.
ness which was the result Of those qualities,
wishing to make the best OF two states, and,
while Hsurping the distinctive places OF men,
retaining some of the pleasanter and safer con-
ditions Of their own. But, above oil, they OBJECT
to adverse criticism, and however monstrous
the thing they do, they think they ought not
to be plainly spoken TO, nor honestly dealt
with; for truth is an offence to their sacred
ness which they cannot forgive. Ihey SET
themselves down before the doors Of a medi-
cal college, doggedly determined to force their
way INTO the ranks of the reluctant students,
thinking it no shane for young men and
women 10 study anatomy and physiology to-
eether, to dissect dead bodies In concert, TO
listen TO lectures on obstetrics and kindred
subjects, sitting side by side on Inc sumo
benches: but they think 1t horrible brutality
when told that their determination IS disgust
and that, if they have lost their disllncIlVe
moodesty, men have not. They a X up a lou
question; which, before their handing, even
men discussed among themselves with a Ger
tain reserve, but which now-thanas to the
unabashed manipulation OF the Sacred Sex
has become a household topic, disc0ursed on
with unblushlng freedom by men and women
together. lectured on by women to men, .
Inv men to Young women; but they ere highly

ling of moral filth, and maintain that, being
women. they should be dealt with tenderiy
and spoken OF respectfully. They are sacred
by the grace of sex; and voluntarily to make
scayengers does not in their
minds tell against their Sanctity.
II thew are unreasonable in their notion that
they ought to be allowed to lake up o position
