W omen,s Rights.

That women have certain rights that
even the lords of the soil will not deny
them is proposition that admits of no
question. 1t is of these rights that we
talk. 1t is a woman's right to be pro-
vided with labor-savilg appliances to
assist her in the work OF the house
The husband purchases mower at the
expense of several hundred dollars,
while he expects the good wife to make
his shirts, the boys pants and girls
dresses, in the old-fashioned way with a
needle and thread, when a good sewing
machine that girl of nine years can
run can be bought for $50. II such a
purchase is mentioned she is told that
the corn in the east lot is poor, and the
oats across the way will hardly pay for
cutting, and the whole matter is treated
as if luxury that could be easily dis
pensed with, was asked for. This spring
a new horse rake was bought for the
farm that cost perhaps sl25; but who
thought of buying a kni 'ting-machine
that cost S25. And yet socks wear out,
and the old needles must be run each
evening the year round to keep the fam

good enough for the ''women folks" to
draw the water with, when for SO good
iron pump could be provided that, wi h

so il goes, one year after another, and
the wife becomes old and wrinkled, and
the girls register VOWS that they will
never live on farm.
1t is true the money is often hard TO
get, to purchase many OF these conven-
fences, but it is better to go without
some unnecessary things that are bought
until they can be procured. If they
can not be procured any other way, set

saving implements. Let the hens pay

Aside from the help these things are
to women on the farm, there is another
snd grander reason why they should be
in every farmers home, and that is the
effect they have n ;identally, on the far
mer's family. What boy can retain
very lofty feelings of reference or re-
spect for his mother when the moment
she sits down after tea she falls asleep
her chair, exhausted by the labors Of
the day? He may pity her, but what in
ierest does he feel in telling her what
he had read, when he knows she does
not get a respite from her household

she has not had time to change-smells

A woman has right to be human, if
not to vote; to have the time to read, if
not to run for Congress; to rest and re-
creation, if not to be President. Ma
chimes do the drudgery in the hay field
, and why not at the wash-tub? They
rake and pitch the hay, and why not
knit the stocking? they hoe the corn,
and why not sew the shirts? If any
one can find an answer to these queries,
let them be published.

The Edinburgh Rerier, which ten
utter fall of the Union and the triumph
of barbarism and chivalry, is still con-
cerned for the future welfare Of our
country. 1t thinks that wherever de-
mocracy is preponderant there must be
distrust and uncertainty. 1t asserts
tIat it is not unusual to meet in Ameri
ca with men who sigh for an absolute
rale and military despotism. Proba-
bly, our astute cotemporary has been
studying some of the burlesques on
Cgsarism that have been widely spread
during the summer season over Il c
country, and has been deluded by ca
nards that are the amusement of the
idle. Baron Hubner, whose travels the
Review follows, meets with a Western
"Goveror''-was it Gratz Brown?-
who holds the following very singular
language. "Yes," he said, possibly in a
hvpochondriacal condition of spirits
eyes, we are great, glorious nation.
But we are uns0und. The Union has,
fear, no future" We confess we do not
share in the melancholy train of thought
of the Governor or the ReUtee. To all
persons of common sense the future oi
the Union must seem at least as well as
sured as the throne of Victoria or the
republic of France. We are satisfied
with our lot. But it may be well to re-
member that the dangers of the Union
are less pressing now than ever before
in its history, and that they have de-
creased year by year with the progress
of the people. 1t is the good sense of
the majority that has invariably saved
the country in its moments of doubt.
The struggles of factions are moderate
now to what they were in earlier times.
Even the ISLANDERS and outcries of disap-
pointed politicians are less noisy.
When Hamilton and Madison were
composing their essays on the Constitu-
ton, and Jefferson, with more of the
acuteness of novelty, was suggesting his
doubts and his wishes in his less pretenI
tious style, it is not to be supposed that
the Union was safe, or that politicians
were less vigorous in their denunciations
of each other, that private character or
public merit was spared in the strife OF
factions. The founders of the State
lavished epithets upon their opponents
that far surpass the force, If not the
