The ladies in New York have intro

rights We have all the rights we de-
sire, if the men would only propose.
You may say what you choose about
it, but I know if the right man comes

bear children. One of these conceited
lords told me few days since that his
wife had fourteen children, and asked
me if | did not think that was the
highest right a woman could desire.
Looking at his little head, contracted
chest and crooked legs, I replied :
THAT turns somewhat on the character
and capacity of the father. l must
confess, sir, l never saw a dozen men
worth repeating fourteen times The
poor man, reviewing his own defects,
looked as if he thought his own wife
might have Numbered in not preferring
Acknowledgement to the multiplying of
so many shadows of himself. TT is bet
ter says John Stuart Mill, to give the
world one lion than twelve jackasses."
