me CITY OF BROOKLYN, answers 10 tne inquiry
OF the civil service commissioner, that wo-
men are eligible to serve. Hesays, mo great
hardship can arise from placing on the sal
AIRY list few OF the c'ass of females from
whose money, collected through the tsx-list,
We are constantly paying the salaries of
males"
We find throughout the Southern States
many women holding unusual posts, and
busy at different kinds of work which
ordinarily left to men. Some OF the largest
newspapers are owned and partly edited by
women, and one of the successful stock
breeders OF Kentucky are OF the same sex.
The 'post-mastern" o! four OF the largest ei Ties
in the South are post mistresses. At every
turn We ind ladies, born aud bred in habits
OF seclusion and luxury, struggling cheerfdlly
to support their children. Before the war
it was considered derogatory for a Southern
woman to earn money in any way. Now 1T
is rather q matter of pride that she does it.
She galns instead OF losing caste by refusing
to succumb to the hardships OF fate

Let the miserable cant OF good women be-
ing sacrificed to making man better" be
blotted out of print. No woman ought to
risk her own happiness with the idea that
che is callt d to lit up and keep 8 man from
perdition, q man, too. who holds himself su-
perior By the right of the ballot. He tells
her IL at ne is q lost sinner If she does not
LEAD him into a higher life by becoming his
wife. Il e pictures the future after mar ,e
when she will see the fruition OF her good
work, he being model husband and all ~
ing no rough breath OF heaven to roug hen
her pathway through life. Bat as the years
flow on, the aftermath is very different from
the promise OF the spring ana the wife, WHO
OF course IS her husbands inferior, altar
n arrisge sees her ELF neglected or betrayed
ard her children dependent upon her own
weary hands for support This Is too often
the ilvsrIabie result when a woman msrries
u man 10 reform him.-Woman's Journal.
1t is fashion az old as civilization ITSELF
to deny to women the possession of that
absolutely indefinsble msDtsl uality known
ss wit Men of large and liberal minds grant
them bumor; but the higher attribute is not
theirs, can never be theirs, from the very
naiu of things. Miss Kate 81 uborn, q lady
who has been recently prominent in many
ways gave in New York lecture on the
Nv it and Humor of Women" tba. was said
by COED feminine and masculine judges TO
contain admirable specimens, both of deli
cate humor and incisive wit. She collected
pie asantries from the writings of more than
two hundred women ; gave thesn with grace
and sparkle peculiar Y her own, keeping her
audier &c. many OF them men, in 'contin-
ual vibration Of applause and laughter" She
is convinced that women are not only the
CO use OF wit in others, but capable themselves
of evolving 1t; that the world would ac-
knowledge this truth were the wit of women
less delicate, refined and spontaneous, easier
to catch and hold in hard lines. In closing
she asserted that If il were possisle to elimi-
maize from the h1mor OF men falsehood, pro.
family, and above all the squibs against wo-
men. that there would be but little left of
that boosted masculine treasure.-Eew Or
