that the world must have while the world
stands. l am glad 10 see a marvellous change
for the better, and that women have found
out that there are hundreds of practical
things that woman can do for living II
abe begin soon enough, aud that men have
been compelled 10 admit it. You and can
remember when the majority Of occupations
were thought inappropriate for women, but
our civil war came and the hosts OF men
went forth from north and south, and 20
conduct the business of our cities during the
patriotic absence, women were demanded by
the tens Of thousands 10 take the vacant
places, and multitudes OF women who had
been hitherto supported by fathers and
brothers and sons, were compelled from that
time 10 take care of themselves. From that
time a mighty change took place, favorable
10 female employment.
Among the occupations appropriate for
women place the following, into many OF
which she has already entered, and all the
others she will enter:
Stenogrnphy, and you may find her at
nearly all tho reportorial stands in our educa-
tional. political and religious meetings
Savings banks, the work clean and honor
able, and who so great a right TO toll there,
for woman founded the first savings bank,
Mrs Priscilla Wakefield
Copyists, and there is hardly professional
man that does not need the service of her
penmanship, and, as amanuelsis, many of
the greatest books of cur day have been die
tated for her writing.
There they are as florists and confectioners
and music teachers and stationers and book
keepers for which they are specially qualified
by patience and accuracy; and wood engrav-
ing. in which the Cooper Institute has turned
out so many qualified; and telegraphy, for
which she is specially prepared, as thousands
OF the telegraphic offices would testify.
Photography, and in nearly all our establish
ments they may be found there at cheerful
work. AS workers in ivory and gutta percha
and gum elastic and tortoise shell and gliding
and in chemicals, in porcelain, in terra Gotta,
in embroidery.
As postmistresses, and the president is CIV
ing them appointments all over the land.
As keepers Of lighthouses, many of them, il
they had the chance, ready to do as brave a
thing with oar and boat as did Ida Lewis and
Grace Darling.
As prcofreaders, as translstorS, as model
ers as designers, as draughtswomen, as litho-
graphers, as teachers in schools and semi
naries, for which they are especially endowed,
the first teacher o. every child, by divine ar
rangement, being woman.
AS physicians, having graduated after a
regular course OF study from the female col
leges Of our large cities, where they get as
scientific and thorough preparation as any
doctors ever had, and so forth TO a work
which no one but women could so sppropri-
ately or delicately do.
On the lecturing platform, for you know
the brilliant success of Mrs. Livermore and
Mrs Hallowell and Mrs Willard and Mrs
Lathrop.
As physiological lecturers to their own sex,
for which service there is q demand appalling
and terrific.
As preachers Of the Gospel. and all the pro-
/ tests Of ecclesiastical courts cannot hinder
them, for they have pathos and power in
| their religious utterances that men can never
reach. Witness all those who have heard
| their mother pray.
