France, Prussia, Austria, Italy and Spain.
All these rival and hostile Powers will be
replaced by the United States of Europe, to
which the universal republic will rapidly sue
ceed."
There are thousands upon thousands here,
as well as in every great centre of Europe,
who believe in that doctrine, and who would
follow it to battle with all the confidence and
enthusiasm that the sacred banner of Constan-
tine or of Joan of Arc inspired in long by
gone days. This, too, is hope that burns
brightly, even if secretly, we may believe, in
the bosom of many a gallant soldier now
gazing from the German lines upon captured
Paris and the cities of the Loire. Where
popular sympathies are concerned ''blood is
thicker than water" even between races mar
shalled against each other by their kings. All
honor to William and his counsellors and pala-
dins for the work that they have done to
reunite and vindicate Fatherand; but now,
in the face Of an entire nation, Inundated at
the very heart of its national existence, and
amid the rising ground swell Of all Europe,
there is no permanent safety for them but in the
path of liberty, and that path leads right on
ward to the one great political change, which
would be a guarantee of real reconciliation

its caressing and protecting arms all the States

WOMAN NOT MANS EQUAL--ssTHAT'S WHAT'S
THE NATTER"

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The coarseness with which men treat women,
nowadays, In public, indicates decadence In man
and feeling from that high position of difference
to the female which was the former reputation OF
this country; SO much so, that 1t was remarked By
foreign writers, Harriet Martineau and Frederika
Bremen among the number, that a lady might travel
all over the United states, without escort and
would universally receive attention and kindness,
merely in consideration OF her sex. Latterly, al
motel In this State myself and lady. seated at the
pubic breakfast table, were SO stared at and COM
mented upon, by two well-clad individuals, no
doubt claiming however unworthily the name Of
gentlemen thar l was obliged to send a waiter 10
them, requesting them to desist.
There Is a deeper cause for these indignties than
In the brutes that illustrate them in action. Such
men must have vulgar ana inefficient mothers, and
The general education OF the women is at fault: for
this conduct seems not 10 be confined to any class
Of social rank. Perhaps, also as we are going

spirits Incentive 10 mere license: ana II Is only

that difference Of sex, which Is the most WONDER

port OF these new movements or the age and recog-
ize the greatness OF woman's nature In Its coarsest
guise. ''Were these men born OF women ~ qneried
lady friend In regard to these experiments.
1t depends upon women to teach men how to
comport themselves towards their sex. Man Is just
what woman makes him. Women are now so mucn
piaythngs and toys that men fan to see III them the
companion. friend, adviser and CONSIDER, the true
halves or their souls, without which they are but
incomplete human beings.
