TO the Editor of the Stdfe Joaunat.
There is a visible evil which we have en-
couraged and pampcrcd by Jour own pat
ronage, until il has assumed formidable
shape, and threatens most seriously the
fear and well being of society. j am on
delicate ground, and this article perhaps
will read Extensively to many of my fair
sisters who enjoy the slavery of fashionable
life to the entire exclusion of everything
useful or good. But there are lucid inter-
walls of thought in which many of them
realize the emptiness and folly of defeating
their immortal souls to dress and to. such
these words are addressed. While the
stronger minded" are urging their claims
for the ballot and other purely masculine
prerogatlyes, ! have wondered how few
voices called for emancipation in this drec-
ton. This, in an age of dress, and to be
out of fashion is to be out of the world.
But the infinite variety of style, which every
month rings in so many changes for already
oyerburdened hands, that one is constantly
reminded that "there is no peace to
the Wicked" is what we would dis
claim as an extreme and extravaganza,
waste of precious time and energies as
foolish and needless as it is sinful and
wicked Not that fashion should be ami
Inflated, but that ii mug not oaaihilate us !
The time sacrificed to mere show and nom
sense should be devoted to better and high
er things. Our own souls culture the
souls of our children looking up to us for
hight the duties we owe to society; to our
own hearth and home the relations we
sustain to our Father in Heaven-all these
great present and coming realities plead
with us solemnly. to improve our present
wisely. Woman in her place, true woman,
is between man and the angels. Her work
is not alone a noble one, but in its ,nlim-
tied possibilities partakes of the Divine.
Where she seeks to maintain her womanli-
ness in its purity and truth, she is stand
ing in the very sunlight of God, and His
approving voice floats like measures of mu-
sic through her soul.
Let those who will the ballot take
Affecting male persuasion;
Let those who will their homes forsalsc
For female legislation.
NO envy mine for pride of place,
Save where to serve brings honor,
If life of self be death of grace,
Let PHYS robe adoln heri
The laws which suit our human needs;
Gods love has sweetly bounded
We may not choose, for duty leads
The pathway Heaven has rounded.
No higher way hath genius led,
Where press the feet of human,
OF whom the angels might have said
she aroiked the earth q scoanda2
lone.

Willing to be drove or led
Walk Yourself with firmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders backs

In sense and tone,
Than this, backbone
When you sec a theologian
Hugging close some ugly creed.
Fearing TO reject or question
Dogmas which his priest may read,
Holding back all noble feeling
Choking down each manly view,
Caring more for forms and SYMBOLS
Than to know the Good and True;
Walk yourself with fil1ner bearing.
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and marrow
Just the things which his must lack.
A stronger word

When you see n politician
Crawling through contracted holes,
Begging for some fat position,
In the ring or at the polls,
With no sterling manhood in him,
Nothing stable, broad or sound,
Destitute of pluck or ballast,
Double-sided all around.
Walk yourself with firmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show yovr spine has nerve and marrow
Just the things which his must lack.

The text is worth a mine of gold:
For many men most sadly lack
