MANS due deserts each reader may recite
For men to men do make goodly show ,
But woman's works can never come to
light;
No mortal man their famous acts may
know;
No writer win little time bestow
The worthy acts of woman to repeat;
Though their renown and their deserts be
great
Woman's sphere is a sphere of use
fulness and struggles. Her work IS
eternal; her work on earth is angelic
and God given. The womanly woman
always strives to fulfill her mission
conscientiously. She has long since
proved the poet in error who wrote:
''The men have many faults, but woman
have but two;
There's nothing good they say, and nothing
good they do"
For woman has said and done many.
very many great and good things, and
doubtless will say and do many more.
1t took the world ut large a long time
to find out that women were capable
of being se'f-sustaining. The band of
noble workers now in the field of
action prove themselves capable of
padding their own cameo They
are mans equals, except in strength
his superior in farsightedness. An or
binary woman can look ahead and see
danger coming that wise man would
be as blind to as a bat at midday.
Although mans brain Outweighs that
of woman there is without doubt a
certain something in her brain that is
Intellectually his. equal Oh! woman,
. I.
A woman's noblest station is retreat;
Her fairest virtues fly from public sight;
Domestic woTth-that shuns too strong a
light"
Women of independence and energy
are not slow to grasp desirable stu
alton and struggle brayely, yea, nobly,
for livelihood. 1t is only the econo-
mical, energetic, skilled brain workers
that succeed in business. 1t matters
not whether it be man or woman we
must apply ourselves to business if we
expect to succeed. 1t is no small af-
fair, | opine, to be able to manage and
plan the work of household. To be
head and front of any woman's kitchen
REQUIRES patience, skill and perseYer-
ance that would exhaust the stock on
hand of most any man. Mothers have
q work to perform that would discour-
age and diShearten men, yet they do
not despair but struggle on, many
times without a murmur. Young Wo-
men of courage. energy and good re-
pute need never despair of securing a
good situation or a good husband if
they are willing to work and do the
nearest duty. No woman of sense
would desire to marry an idler, and
vice versa. Do not, dear girls, trouble
yourselves about getting married. Re
member that a woman Of worth will in
due time find fond and noble heart
/ beating in a manly breast for her
/ dear sake. Fear not; you will never
! ret too old to be wooed and won if you
4 strive to keep the best company and
1 deport yourselves properly. DO not, l
entTeat you. marry man that drinks,
swears and CANDLES, OF one that de-
rides religion or frequentS places of
+ disrepute, thinking to reform him.
I tell YOU candidly it is seldom done,
such traits are bred in the bone. Blood
will tell, believe. Better thousand
times earn your own living tone that
marries generally does) and die ar old
maid than be tied to q man that s al
ready welded to pernicious h;b IS.
Women do not, nor never have IN
dulged to any great extent OUTSIDE Of
large cities. in many of the evil habits
so prevalent among men, and even in
cities the number of men that show a
weakness for all that is low and vile
outnulnber the women twenty to one.
We are told mans brain out-weighs
/ that Of woman's. We are also told
that choice articles are always put up
in small bundles. Reasoning thus we
find man 8 brain is superior in quantity
while at the same time we find woman 5
brain superior in quality.
