want and God knows the American people have
enough of them already. Women may lift up
the whole world to their plane of life by the
most womanly of ways, of which the dear
Schiller so grandly Speaks -"With soft, per-
suasive prayers, woman wields the sceptre of
the life which she chaTmeth; she lulls the dis
cord which roors and glows, teaches the fierce
powers which hate each other, like friends to
embrace in the bonds of love, and draws to-
gether what are forever flying asunder
Honor to women! They twine and weave the
roses of Heaven into the life of man. Ii is they
that invite us in the fascinating bonds of love;
and, concealed in the modest veil of the Graces,
they cherish carefully the external fire of deli
cate feeling with holy hands,"
BILL OF RIGHTS FOR WOMEN.
And finally, file a bill of rights for women.
The first is the right to education; the freest
and fullest and popular sentiment concerning
1t, that shall condemn, as barharism, every
college and university that dares to close its
doors against the girls. Not only education in
worsted, and music, and Chesterfield manners,
but in classics and science; and believe that in
the coming times the girls will take the prizes
and honors.
next demand for women the right of each to
be herself, and follow out freely the bias and
genius of her nature; to be author painter
sculptor, poet doctor, or lawyer; and demand
from women respect for the sisters who choose
to be dressmakers and bread makers, who select
as their calling shop-keepng or rschool-teaching.
Men, for the most part, accord them respect
now.
ask for women the right to work where
their work will tell best, and mans would tell
least. Women can redeem this city. Instead of
suffrage conventions, which are only opportu-
mites for short-haired women and long g-haired
men to deal in generalties, and for ventilating
all sorts OF social nuisances, would have women
call conventions to save their sisters from the
lusts and depravity of men. 1 call upon these
reformers, men and women, to mount the plat
form, If that not genteelest method is deemed
best, and plead for social purity and domestic
felicity and fidelity. Give over this fiction and
phantasm of the ballot, this unrealitY and
shadow, this hazy, cloudy sentiment and get
hold on some real, tangible need.
l conclude by demanding for women the di-
vinest rights of the home. Here let her mould
the life committed by God to her keeping, and
when 1t shall come out into the world from her
ingenious hand and intuitive heart, let it be
pure as crystal. Boys will not be brutes and
girls will not be drones when the mothers shall
all be priestesses at the high altar of God. Then
we shall cease to call for rights, and all seek to
do duty
