Gardening as W,omaa,s Work.

Tais has long seemed TO me an employ
mcnj IN which women would not only
gain health and strength, but in which
the most modest and retiring might find
q congeuial occupation, and the products
of which are never deprecated because
raised by woman. A peck of peas has
n certain market value, not dependent
upon the hands which raised them. \
woman who works on pants receives fifty
cents day, not on account Of the amount
or quality of her work, but because she
is woman. \ man engaged upon the
same garments receives 3 q day, not be-
cause Of the amount and quality of his
work, but because he IS a man. Ii is
doubtless true that. in very many eases,
the man does his work better than the
woman; but il is not less true that in =
majority of eases, the difference in price
grows out of the difference in SEX SO
of the school \ male teacher receives
$1,000 a year. not because his moral in.
flucnce is better not because the pupils
learn more, but because he is man. \
woman teaches similar school. and ,o-
ceiveS 500, not because of the interiority
of her moral influence in the school, not
because the pupils learn less, but because
she is a woman. Now, happily, all This
is avoided in gardening. \ man who
would sell a beet is not obliged to put on
a-labcl. raised by = man. ten cents, and
upon another. raised by a woman, four
cents, bu, the article brings lis market
value This is great advantage, and
one ado:ding q special qualification 10 wo'
men Of spiIit. Besides. gardening is an
occupation requiring very little capital,
and except in the fancy departments,
comparatively little training. Near any
OF the cities woman can earn more up
ON q half acre of land, with four months
work, than she can earn 10y sowing twelve
months, saying nothing o. the health'ul
ness of gardening, and the unhealthful
ness Of sewing.--Otur Girls. jg Die Lc'c-
