REPLY To 'OhE or EN-
Since the apple was eaten" there has always
been woe;
We discover we've troddcn on somebody's toe;
We're really surprised and hope you will grant
Us pardon, for touching Sensitive Plant"
We thought women alone you may think US
quite queer
Were thrown in commotlon this was our idea.
We thought man was 30 strong, 20 brave and so
true,
That nothing whatever that women could do,
Or say, could disturb him, we see our mistake
And hence we begin our opinion 10 make,
From our earliest remembrance, frail woman has
been
The target for fan ridiculed by some men.
Called scraggy and lean, thin, creaky and poor
'Twould take volumes to print il, yes volumes
and more!
And never for once have we heard her complain
ofall the abuse or any bad name.
Why, scarcely paper since we've learned TO
read,
Have we taken in hand, but some noble deed
Has been there displayed, by mans giving name
To woman's lsnk flesh, as If she we're to blame
But since women have dared, TO say they admire
Symmetrical legs, one man will expire!
Our fathers have sense, and always have taught
Us to call things by name and speak as We ought.
Our mothers have taught US also to despise
All false modesty, and true modesty prize
We assure you we mean It, we pity the wife
Who would walk with "poetical pegs for her
life,
We always have been an admirer OF bones,
And would not be guilty throwing anyone stones;
But we've this much 10 say, We never would wed
A live SHELTON! We admire them dead.
And now, young man, we will try to explain,
So 1T may enter your marvellous brain,
THAI, "swsllow as whole" was a figure Of
speech
For We plainly zee twas beyond your reach,
We expressed the desire, the mouth be not small,
Th., the man We should wed should accept faults
and all.
Our idea was this, man never can ind
An angel, saint and shouse-maid combined
As partner 70, life, we take common sense
view;
We know pretty well what woman can do;
Cares, burdens and crosses and thorns all through
life;
Ard the woman who brave, 1t /. y, true noble
wife.

Don't worry yourself about our neglect
II better be that, than for us TO reflect

No doubt but some might upon tenderness

Although we'er constructed TO endure great fast,

We never could think OF changing our mind
We girls never do anything Of the kind

For you insnuated, 70 our disgust,
