Woman's Status.

The Edinburgh Reviews says on this subject
A woman is woman, and not lesser edition
of man. The competition, in which we are for
ever aboring to involve them, has no existence in
nature. They are not rivals nor antagonists; they
are two halves Of a complete being. The offices
they hold in this world are essentially different.
There is scarcely any natural standing ground,
which we can realize, on which these two creatures
appear as rivals. The very thought is preposter-
Gus.
Shall the woman challenge the man to trial of
strength? Shall the man pit himself against the
woman for delicacy of eye and taste? Shall she
pillow the heavy fields with him, wading through
the new-turned mold or shall he watch the sick
with her, patient through the weary vigil? An ex-
change of place and toll, the man taking the in
door work, ane the woman the outdoor, in order
to prove the futllity of their mutual discomfort,
was a favorite subject of the old ballad-makers,
and the witty minstrel is generally very great on
the domestic confusion that follows, and gives the
wife the best Of it. But the fact is that such RI
valry can be nothing but jest. The two are not
rivals,-they are not alike. They are different
creatures, but they are one.
