He told one of his as sociateS that he came from New Hampshire but he did not tell the name of the town. He told others that he came from the poorhouse in Wor- cester, from which he had run away. The truth is quite likely to be that he came from some part of New Hampshire to Worcester, and fell into the hands OF the officers of the poor while there.

- For the Times Mr.. EDITOR: trust you will grant me the favor of giving publicity, through the medium of your columns, to this commu- nicalion relative to WOMAN'S RIGHTS, which were discussed in a correspondence contained in your paper few weeks since, with the signature "EoUALIrY" Affixed My purpose is not to consider and replv to all the arguments adduced by him in his communication in favor of Woman's Rights to assume and retain political equality with man, but TO attend 10 those only which apper'ain Immediately to the subject under consideration. Ii would be needless as we'll as suPerf1uous TO consume time and space ,in dwelling upon mere assertions devoid of proof and wanting the broad sanction of reason and experience TO substantia,e them Instead Of its being "esrablshed beyond doubt that the mind Of woman is equally as vigorous IN eUery respect as that Of mans, ;" II is an admitted and indubilable fact, that in real depth Of intellect, great strength of mind, and in powers of investigation and A Physiologiss would perhaps state the case thus in man the brain is larger than i'll woman and the physical system more vigorous and strongly developed and capable of more severe and longer ac,ivi- ty. In woman, philoprogenitiveness ad- hesveness, caution and veneralion are grea- ter than in man. In man, love Of power, self-esteem. causalty, frmness and the in lellectual faculties generally predominant over the same faculty ia woman. This comparative inferiority in woman seems to be the result of organization. In support of this opinion may be adduced the fact, that more women are educated in painting and music than men, yet among the former we find no Mozarts, Handels, Raphaels or Guidos. Why is it that the greatest and most difficult discoveries have alone been reserved to man?
