Ether Way,

Women are always making a row because
they are not permitted to compete with men
in certain vocations for which they appear
physically fitted, but the following incident,
which took place in Chicago the other day,
shows the whyfore of this opposition in Il
very striking manner. 1t is not that women
lack the necessary intelligence or even
bodily strength for these employments, but
because in certain situations they cannot be
trusted. They can't, really. A young lady
of the above bailiwick graduated last spring
as dentist, and started out on her tooth
tinkeripg career with great success. The
mere fact that she always wept condolingly
when male patient groaned, and invariably
yanked her own sex around the room with
out needing their keenest sufierings, was 10
real obstacle to her obtaining good prac.
tice In time. But one day last week q be-
wilderingly handsome young man walked
in and requested her to fill tooth. After
tenderly putting him under the influence of
ether she accomplished just enough of the
work 10 require his sitting again the follow
ing day, and, in fact, she spun ont his ope-
ration for whole week, during which time
she pressed many passionate kiss upon the
unconscious month with whose owner she
had by then fallen desperately in love. Dur
ing the last visit she could no longer con-
tain her womanly impulses, and, sending
out for u certain near-sighted minister, was
united to her still obvious patient on the
spot. When her husband came to and heard
the latest matrimonial news he astOunded
the dentess by calmly announcing that he
was already married. The result is that

All night beside our guns We lay,
Nor tent nor nrewas there;
Our arms we whetted for the fray,
And prayed our whispered prayer.
Tho tempest ragged till morning red;
!, while gun-car proppcd my head,
Spoke in my comrades ear;
- Brother, hear st thou how fierce and fast,
like Freedoms war song, yon Wild blastY'
hut, wrapt In dreams Of years long past,
My comrade did not hear.
The drums beat loud--the mist cloud dun
Gan eastward lighter grow,
And launched from unexpected gun
Came greeting from the foe.
Then spake our chief before orr line;
Moscow's behind us, children mine
Moscow we die 10 shield;
Twas thus our brethren did the deed ~
And one and al, we vowed to bleed
And well that promise did we heed
On Borodino's field.

But here In grim despair.
We closed our ranks without sound.

My comrade fell, all bleeding red;
painted to avenge the dead,

Z" March, forward, march," No more I know
or what befell that day;
Six times we yielded TO the foe,
six times the foe gave way;
Aud shadowy banners waved above,
Aud shadowy foes against us sirove,
And FIRE through smoke did rain,
Full on the guns the horseman broke.
The wearled arm refused Its stroke,
And rushing balls their Hight did choke
In hills OF CORY slain.
There dead aud living mingled lay,
The cold night gathered round,
And all who yet survived the fray
In deepest gloom were drowned;
The roaring cannon ceased to boom,
hut guns that beat amid tho gloom
Showed where the foe Withdrew.
How welcome was the morning red
90 Now God he praised ~ inly said,
For shlverng on couch OF dead

There In deaths sleep our brayesi lay.
Beneath the fatal shade;
How gallant and how stancl that day
Alas that could not aid.
But ever In the roll OF Fame,
Above Poltaya's, Rymnik's name
Rings Borodino's praise.
Sooner the prophets tongue shall lie,
Sooner shall fade Heavens shining eye,
Than from our Northern memory

Women Lawyers.

NOT every lady and gentleman whO
has this season applauded Miss Terry's s
Portia is aware that, about the date
when the Merchant of Venice" may
be supposed to have exhibited his
gabardine on the Rialto, there actually
existed great female lawyers in the
neighboring city of Bologna. Prof
Calderini, who held the Chair of Juris-
prudence in that University in 1860,
and Prof. Novella, who occupied it in
1866, were not only celebrated for their
legal lore and skill, but if we may trust
their portraits, exceedingly beautiful
women, with noble Greek profles,
dressed in a style which Miss Terry
might have copied without disadvan-
tage. If women hereafter should again
obtain entrance into the legal pro-
fession, it is not at all improbable that
we may see something more Of the keen
ness of feminine wits engaged in disen-
tangling the knots of the law Two
