Woman,s InhumanitY to Woman.

Women must be coming into bad
OdOr. They are being crowded out of
hotels and boarding-houses. Look into
any daily paper ut the advertisements
for bOarders and observe that nearly all
of them either specify that no children
are wanted, or that only single gentle
men are received.
What is the cause of this tendency to
give woman a general cold shoulder. 1t
must he the fault of women themselves.
Perhaps they are apt to be disagree
able on slight occasions. They have
that reputation.
Small jealousies and gibble-gabble are
as thick in a house full of women as
flies in summer. And, oh! how they do
bite and annoy sometimes.
1t is a narrowing sight to the general
ity of women to witness the daily
changes OF n better dressed woman than
themselves.
And if she be comlier, insOmuch as
the smallest crimp OH her forehead is
concerned, heaven save the pieces of
her. Mincemeat is nothing beside the
chopping and pulverizing Of her reputa-
tiOn i'm the hands of her enraged assail-
ants. The fact is, any woman who
dares to be gCOd-lOOking must consider
herself arrayed against by a tarbarous
phalanX of addle-headed women who
have nothing else 10 do than to culti-
vate envy and jealousy, until they con-
sumo nearly every good impulse of their
natures. In truth, homely or handsome, (,
women make "A point of treating each
other with less consideration than saw
ages bestOw.
No quarter from one woman TO an
other. III it is u man, that quite alters
the matter. In the twiukling of an eye
the face changes from vinegar to honey,
! the manner descends from stiff stuck-up-
pishness to polite civility, if not u win
ming friendliness.
Oh my! cannot women be sweet TO
men! But why will they be so mean
to their own sex ? A sweeping hatred
is spreading among all classes of women
! for their own sex. They shun and avoid
each other as something that will sting
| if in close contact.
All kinds Of meannesses, small and
great, are employed to torture women
| by those who, being of the weaker sex
! themselves, and in turn subjected to like
cruelty, should remember that it hurts,
| grieves, wounds, and often makes life a
burden.
1t is not that people are so much
afraid of being imposed upon by disrep-
utable women that they refuse to receive
lady bOarders, but because they make so
much trouble in the house.
They either gossip and tattle until
/ they have everybody mad with every
body, or they vent n kind of trumped-up
constitutional spite, by finding fault
with their food and attendance.
Men take things easier. II they are
vexed with each other, they keep cool
until a proper occasion, and do not
hash and rehash at the table and be-
tween meals, with nothing else to bur
den their thoughts or chatter.
If women would only cultivate few
of the virtues toward their sex, many a
sensitive woman, to whom life is now
made wretched by senseless thrusts,
"cuts,n and malicious meddling, would
feel herself blessed.
a rest from the ineivility of women
to each other would greatly enhance OPP
portunities for good to themselves and
Others.-ElDl OriOU.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS IN RUsSIA.-Wom-
ans Rights are extending even to Rus
sia. Formerly their sole public en-
ployment was the sweeping of the streets
under the eye, or rather under the whip
of the Police; and this was a privilege
confined TO drunkards.
But now all is changed; and at time
when Britain is trying to exclude
them from its medical colleges, an edict
has been issued by the Gar to afford
them facilities for acquiring thorough
knowledge of midwifery, and the other
branches of Surgery and Medicine.
They are also to be admitted as workers
in telegraph offices. They are enjoined
TO "avoid negligence and sauciness, and
above all, to propagate no scandal. !"
They are not, however 10 be intrusted
