Many and various are the discussions o

we've seen have no aspirations toward tn,
emancipation Of their sex from any yok,
except the burdensome yoke of i'll health
They all seem to think-and think rightly
that their proper field il their home, and t,
work faithfully in this field she must b,
strong and hearty. Care is peculiarly ,
woman's heritage. But it was not the "nev
woman" or any other kind of woman thu
We started out to talk about. 1t il q "mar

From what he tells US, he has good caus,
to think 30. There is no comparison between
his present state Of feeling and that Of two
years ago. But let the following speak fol

that very few people Of any. age or cline

suffering, which he has undergone.
