BbiTOHtt ADVKBTISEB:—One of the rel- ics, of barbarism that still abound, in civilized countries is the: disposition, to- relegate wo- men to nn. inferior placet In heathen lands: woman ; » man's slave. In civilized nations she is treated better and. some of them- are made companions\. But even m America, where woman enjoys the greatest amount of respect unci freedom that is anywhere, ac- corded her, if alio presumes to be independ- ent and earn hen I-WII living by engaging in any occupation, Wiuupt those prescribed by tyrannial oustotn, sho is shown the cold shoulder; if not ostracized from what sets itself up as \sooiety.\ Possessed ot as good abilities, and with natural aspirations tor distinction and use- fulness, it is not to be wondered at that many women turn to intellectual pursuits; Having in many instances to depend upon her own resources for a livelihood, it would seem but reasonable that she should have the privilege of choosing the calling by which to obtain it. But is this privilege accorded her? Let her presume to enter a profession. She may be well qualified and even pass an excellent examination, as did Miss Stoneman before the Law.Society re- cently at Albany, and immediately she is in- formed that there is no law permitting her to practice. She overcomes all the difficul- ties and demonstiates her capacity, but be- cause she was so unfortunate as to have been born a female she is hedged in with, legal restrictions that prevent her from thereby gaining her livelihood. Except in the department of medicine, the professions are even yet denied her. Perhaps she becomes a teacher. She has passed the same examinations and is as well qualified for her duties as her male class- mate. But her salary is only half as inuchj \Why so ? The answer is as definite as this; \O-h we never pay a female teacher more than that.\ If questioned further we may get the-weighty answer that she cannot all- ways maintain as good . government. Her ability to. teach is not questioned;, only that she-lacks the physical: strength; to-subdue), iffjor need be,, unruly youtbs spoiled^ by bad! gov- ernment at home; There ai:o more pot-err-, tialwaysof governing young minis tihan by the dread of corporal' punishment. In: these ways the-judicious lady tenon, T lias the- ad- vantage, over th • m.lle teacher;. Why not make qiuil.(rations the test? Increase- or diminish salary on tit-ie results of tiho Levell- ing? There is no answer tw be gi.\>-n only that it is the custom — true worth forced' to. pay tribute to physical st'ouifth. by tins in- tolerance of custom I lit is the- same in every department of legitimate business that she may see fit to engaged' in.. Hard work, low wages I If she becomes a domestic servant '•'society\ looks down upon her;, if she as- pires to an independent profession \society\' considers it unlady-like,, masculine;, and: if f tired, of her lot, she dresses in male attire in the hope- of getting a man's wages, for- a man's work,, she is imprisoned it discovered.. With so many obstacles in the way of women making honest and honorable liv- ings, is it any wonder that the. tendency of the present feminine generation is to be- or- namental rather than useful, and to depend ' on others for support rather than bo their own supporters? But some one-says the customs that are unfair to woman prevai' only in snobbish society—they do not enter the family circle, where parental love rec- ognizes, no favorite sex. Unfortunately, this is not so. The iron grasp of custom throttles parental; reason, and without com- prehending the enormity of the injustice, the sons are liberally provided for while the daughters are cast almost penniless upon the world. Is a young man, vigorous and buoy- ant, not more capable of earning his living than his sister ? He has all the avenues of wealth open to him; she, with a delicate constitution, has a much more limited and AT' E. E. PALMER'S AMI GROGSEIY STRKE Yt.¥ WILL.
