THE VARIED AND INTERESTING PROGRAMME
GIVEN IN FULL.
The W'omans Club and Library Associa.
ton celebrated their fifth anniversary at
the Rough and Ready fire company's hall,
last night, The evening was uafavols5Ie.
The sky was dark and threatening. Rain
had fallen during the day and the streets
and sidewalks were disgustingly dirty.
More rain fell after supper time; and, in
short, the weather seemed to be determined
to thwart the designs of the ladies and
gentlemen, who had for some
time previous, strained both body
and mind to give our citizens an evening
Of the most delightful and intellectual en-
tertainmeut But, nevertheless, people
turned gu. in large numbers. From near
and from far they came, in carriages mi
on foot. They brayci the elements, and
the magnificent ball OF the company was
crowded with as fashionable, intelligent
and appreciatiye an audience as ever gath
cred in this city, The programme as
everyone had reason to expect, was excel
lent, and brought out some fine ta..nt
The attention OF the audience was en-.
listed at once, and firmly held
throughout the evening, The ex.
excuses were opened with music by Mrs.
Stansbury, entitled, Thou art SO near and
yet so far which was well rendered. and
received many enconiums. Mrs, p. \.
Taylor followed with all Inaugural adj
dress 1t was well written, replete with
passages OF more than ordinary force aud
cloquence, and received the hearty approval
Of her hearers. We regret that We could
not obtain the manuscript for publication.
Mrs VIM. Winter rendered The Bunch Of
Vi0lcts' in really artistic manner, CON.
pc.ling the admiration Of the
audience, which seemed to be
carried away by the feeling
she expressed in the music. After thi.
came the sentiment by Mrs Hudson,
which was as follows: "Woman's work a,
varied as circumstances make necessary
and talents fit her to execute. Woman,
risht-cQuaI compensation with men for
work as well performed" This was re.
spondcd 10 by Geo, Fisher in the following
ing pointed and happy effort, winch wa,
heartily applaudci;
Woman's Work,--As varied as circum.
stances make necessary and her talents fit
her to execute.
Woman's Right,--EQua compensation
with men for work Of equal excellence.
! can and do heartily endorse this sent.
mcnt. Aud having endorsed it / might,
perhaps, stop right here,
Like the man who had too much con.
science TO omit prayer on retiring for the
night and not pcty enough to truly pray
and who, therefore pinned q printed
copy Of the Lords prayer to his bed post,
and On retiring for the night would simply
say, "Oh, Lord, thcm's my sentiments" So
might say, These are my sentiments"
and stop.
But you expect me to say more and |
will go on.
Womans work,--As varied as crcum.
stances make ncceSsary-that Is the point.
Circumstances make necessary.
Circumstances make 1t necessary that
many womcnin order to preserve their self.
respect and their honor should earn
u livelihood by honest labor, honest toll.
| say then that the avenues open 10 them,
should be as numerous and a, varied rs
possible.
We may rcgrct-oye we may dcplore the
circumstances (which make such life s,rup.
gle necessary, but we must deal with facts
as they exist. We must deal win p,acti.
cal realities, We must take life as we find
it and do our best in lifc's struggle. Long.
