choice OF our rulers. He asked God to take
Congress into Hts presence and cnuse them to

they must drop all desire for mere self-Hggran-
dizemsnt or party power, and legisate for the
honor and glory Of God and the welfare OF the
whole people ana be careful how they touched
the urk of our liberties. He PRAYED that the
safeguards of constitutional liberty might be
preserved, and that we might maintain the
right In the fear Of God faithfully yet lovingly.
The Rev. DR.. Sibine prayed that God, who
guided the children of Israel through the will
derne-s and endowed the fathers Of the Repub-
Tic with wisdom for their task. might now put
out His band to save u.s. He acknowledg dyed our
national faults and shortcomings, asked pardon
for them. and prayed that Congress might be
governed ~ lts deliberations by a spirit Of har-
muny aud love and union,
The Rev Mr.. Ludlow spoke briefly, expressing
his confidence III God. and hts belief that God
would work out Ills own good purposes, which
Will work together for good.
The Rev. MIR. Hastings spoke q few words In a
similar strain. and added his hone that the time
might soon come when our citizens would look
upon their vote as next to the exercise Of the
privileges OF religion, and the ballot box as
sacred place.
After PRAYER from n gentleman seated in the

Woman's Aspirations.

In series of lectures arranged last spring
by the alumni of Rutgers College, New
York, Miss Phoebe Couzins, Bachelor of
Laws, was invited to act as the orator on
the evening of March 9th, which she did,
taxing for her subject i" The Higher Educa-
ton OF Women" Following is brief re-
port of her lecture, published at the time
hy the New York SBn:
"Gentlemen and ladies, said she, "is it
uest for the race that uncultured and igno-
rant women should be it's mothers? Wo-
men can no longer retain the lily's passive
position in the worlds great field of action.
One hundred and fifty years ago Massa-
ohusetts schoolmaster was publicly repri-
manded and dismissed for teaching women
arithmetic; and to-day, when she knocks at
the door of Columbia and Harvard, the an
swer comes back in virie baritone, no. It
is but a little while since the prevailing
idea of a literary woman was that she wore
blue stockings, with shoes down at the heel,
her husband shirt-buttonless, and her

same colleges receive all male candidates.
be they bright or barely able to wedge in !;
SO their sex is right, the door to learning
stands open. It really is not strange that
women do not rise faster, when we consider
what disadvantages they have to struggle
against in dress which entangles their feet
and burdens their brains with rats, mice
and hairpins. The State of New York has
spent sixteen millions of dollars for the ed
ucation of men and not one for that of Wo-
men. As in New York State, SO in all the
States and in all the world. A girl steps
forth from boarding school to wait for a
husband, like an oyster waiting for the tide,
but not like an oyster, sure of what she
waits for.''
An old gentleman met Miss Couzins on a
| railroad near st. Louis and said: /" I wish
YOU would give up this foolish notion of
running about to lecture, and settle down.

keeper" Miss Couzins replied, Barkis
is willin'; but where's your man r Wo-
man must marry. Her sphere is the kitch-
en- and the cradle, the cookbook, and Bax-
ters Saints Rest. That is the traditional
and still accepted notion of woman's duty
| and woman's place. Miss Couzins longed
