WOMEN WORKERS.

1t is said that in the city Of San Fran
cisco there are between three and four
thousand women and girls, ranging
from mature age to almost infantlle
years, who daily leave their homes TO
perform some kind of work in the vari-
GUS stores, shops, book-binderiesI print
ing offices, etc.
What say the sticklers for "woman's
spheren at this? These women and
girls are, through the long hours Of
every day, away from their homes. Are
they out Of their sphere, that God and
nature designed them to fill? If so,
who is responsible for thus thwarting
the designs of the Creator and subvert-
ing His laws?
OF all the twaddle, familiarly called
objections" which we daily hear, per-
haps that which is so persistently urged
relative to home being the only legiti-
mate province for the exercise Of wom-
ans talent, is the most exasperating to
patience, because in the plainest viola
ton of facts and common sense. To de-
clare that God designed all women to
remain at home, and then witness the
stress of circumstances that compels so
many thousands of them to work
abroad in order to maintain home, is
equivalent to an accusation that He is
unable to carry out His designs, in the
formation of His creatures. such sacri-
lege as this we leave for those who be-
lieve that were it not for the powerful
aid that masculine humanity renders to
Divinity, He would be totally unable to
keep feminine humanity within proper
and Legitimate bounds.
In regard to the manner in which the
women workers of the world engage in
the duties that fall to their share, we
quote from the Golden Era (San Fran
CISCO the following:
II there is one thing that testiiies in woman's
favor more than another, it is her willingness
to work and gain an honest livelihood. Poorly
paid many Of them, tempted, often sorcly
pressed for food, they pursue their duty. Tho
till night, for a scanty salary, Is not the most
cheering, still we sec her following the desola;c
path, turning neither 10 the gilded way Of sin,
nor falling into the abyss Of dissipation. Is
there not a lesson OF patience, iortitCde, perse-
verance and endurance in the life Of the sewing
girl that ought to shame men from their ways
Of idleness and low dissipation? /, the "lord
Of creation" not sometimes shame-iaccd io see
in the delicate creature threading her way
home from work, a woman who has labOred
faithfully, who has been tempted sorcly whose
home is comfortless, whose table is poorly sup
piled, yet who has been faithful 10 her trust h
all things, while he has fallen from work. spent
his money in vicious ways, aIfd made himself
"a disgrace 10 his species. How will it average

are 10 be seen in the saloons, low places oi
amusement and loafing on the street corner,
al nights with these three or four thousand
women: Which is following the sieepest path
with the bravest purpose . Which meets temp

Where is the SofteSt nature and the most re-
deeming spirit? And yet, though their SERVED
DE harder, these women are not paid like men.

The melodies played upon Pans
pipes are said to have been of rather 8
satyrical character.
The great toe o: the ancient gods was
Pluto.
Hercules was an ancient club man,
and something of a scientest too, judging
from his hydra-licks.
Mercury was said to be in favor of
quicksilver, hence was the god of
thieves and of those who believed in
nimble sixpence.
The ladies always think of Cupid
with bow, and sometimes they are all
of culver when they refer to him.
Eolus was god of the winds. He
might find good many great blowers
in these days, that would make him
tremble for his reputation.
One of the first forgeries on record
was when Vulcan forged Jove's thun-

August.

The appropriateness of this name to the
month itself, only be realized by actual
experience, for, if according to Webster, An
gust means agniticent-maj estic-in-
spring awe impressing with reverence-then
all these qualifications belong by right to this,
the eight month of our year, and the sixth of
the Roman Calender 1t is grand in heat
magnificent in caloric-majestic in lofty tenn
perature,-inspiring awful floods of perspira-
tion and impressing reverence for the boils
and bumps it deyelopes upon the surface of
that miniature world man
We greet it to-day with-trepidation and
as it is said that Augustus gave the month his
name, in honor of his victories, we acknowl-
edge all its conquering powers and would like
to confer upon it a triumphal procession, if
it's line of march would only lead-away from
us. Geography assigns us place in the tenn
perate zone-giving MS distinctly to under
stand that we are not in the tropical regions.
and yet August makes US dubious in this re-
gard; for our own feelings assisted by glance
at the thermometer, assures that there is a
mistake somewhere, for one confesses to the
boiling point, the other indicates % in the
shade. But it is comforting nevertheless, to
know that oars is not a tropical, but is in
every respect, temperate clime!. So be it !!
Seeing is believing but we will add that feel
ing is fact
Astronomers tell US we are three OF four mill
lions of miles further from the sun in summer
than in winter; but this piece of scientific
information does not refresh us to any great
extent, while it only makes us pity all the
more our antipodal neighbors, who are just
this distance nearer to the central fire. during
their summer season. Tho Romans enjoyed,
at first, only twenty nine days of August wealth
or but Julius Caesar, when he reformed the
Calender, added to it one moro day, and after
wards, through Jealousy, Augustus heightened
it still more, that it might not be inferior to
July, named in honor of his illustrious pre-
decessor. And thus to the greatness of one
Emperor, and to the littleness of another, we
owe the long perspective of this majestic
month"; vision which conjures up dissolving
views of melting moods, and sends calorifc
shoulders across our entire frame. And yet
our good city of New Orleans enjoys one de-
hghtful privilege, for which we hold it's name
in benediction and which is. quite indepen-
dent Of all badly administered municipal af-
faSFl. Namely: the nights are pleasant, ut

. REV. THEoBALD BUTLER, S. from late
Irish exchange we copy the following interest
ing item of news concerning the Rev. Father
Butler, who is SO we'll known and so highly
esteemed and admired in this city:
Rev Father Butler, s. j.. of the Ballyslat-
teen family, has arrived in Ireland on snort
visit from the city of Augusta, Ga. The object
of his visit is in order to obtain young candi-
dates for the priesthood, who will devote
themselves to the Southern States of America;
About twelve months ago he visited lreiano
for the same purpose, and obtained about
twelve candidates for Holy Orders in the
Southern States. Father Butler is brother OF
Major Butler, the hero of COomassie, and OF L.
Butler, Esq, r. H., Kilkee.
