THE WELCOME.
Anithor bairn cam' liame— Ilame to mithcr and me!— It was yestreen in the gloamln'
When scarce Was light to see The wee bit face o' th« clarlin,' That its grcotin' cry was lieard, And our crowded nestie made a place
To hold another bird!
Sax little bonnie mouths, ». Ah me! tak' mucRle to lill, But to grudge the bit t' the seventh
For mither and me were ill! Oh! nestle up closer, dearie, Lie saft on the snawv breast, Where fast life's fountain floweth
When thy twa lips areprest.
The rich man courtdtli his cares By the sbinin' gowd in's hand.? By 's ships that sail on the sea,
By's harvest that whiten the land. The puir man counteth his blessings By the ring 'o voices sweet, By the hope that glints in bairnies 'een,
By the sound 'o bairnies' feet.
An' its welcome liame, my darlin'! Ilame to mithfi and me! An its never may ye find less 'o love
Than the love ye brought wi' ye I Cauld are the blasts the wild wind, An'rough the warld may be But warm's the liame o' the wee one
In the hearts o' mither and me!
The Suppressed Sex.
Under this title the last number of the Westminster Review discusses the question of woman's work, wages and opportunities. We cop}r a few passages:
Miss Mitchell is
as good an astronomer as any in America and the professor of mathematics at Antioch, a woman, taught without book the most abstruse portions of her science with a clearness which the best male professors acknowledged could not be surpassed. The writer has often been in the recitation rooms, and can testify the girls were in nowise inferior in their performances to the young men and at the commencement the public essays read by the female graduates dealt with subjects of general interest quite as ably as the orations of the male graduates. Indeed, the uniform testimony of these co-educational colleges confirms that of the examiners at Cambridge, England, that, if there has been any difference between the examinations of the young men and young women, it has been in favor of the latter. -. "The undeniable facts reported from Cambridge have compelled the opponents of all such steps to shift their ground. Forced to admit that women can pursue with equal success the same studies with men, they now say, "Yes, but they are not proper studies for women they do not fit her for her true sphere, and consequently they unsex her/' Now it' must be admitted that it would be a1 strange anomaty in nature if this were true. Women daily sit at the same table with men, and partake of the same food nature has not provided one kind of beef and mutton for women and another kind for men, and yet the same meat and bread are. converted by one sex into women, by the other into men. The two are not unsexed by breathing the same air, or by the same sunshine there is not a female and a male air of sunshine, and yet one frame converts these to long tresses, the other to long beards. It would be strange indeed if by the same mental diet, the same intellect ual sun and atmosphere, women should be made too masculine or men too effeminate. The fact is, this is absolutely a phantom. It ought to be at this date needless to affirm to English people that the broad culture and profound psychological penetration of George Eliot, the severe sholarship of Elizabeth Browning, the political insight of Harriet Martineau, and the science of Maria Mitchell, coexist with the utmost womanly feeling and refinement. "We are not, however, disposed to evade, but rather to rejoice in the
fact, upon which is based much of the opposition to the education of women in directions hitherto reserved for men—namely: that it must tend to extend their occupations to employments hitherto monopolized by men. That there are occupations for which men and women are respectively endowed we have no doubt as little do we doubt that Nature has in such cases set barriers which, though they may be overleaped by peculiar natures in long intervals, neither sex can destroy. Fortunately, however, we are not without the means of knowing the directions in which the larger educatioM which some women have managed to secure has tended to widen their sphere 0f employment. The in which we life has prevailed against our hereditary theories, and many women have gained strenghth to contend successfully with the prejudices and serstimentalisms which still imprison the majority of their sex. It is remarkable how little of,,reactionary defiance has attended the movements of those who have'tlius Meii liberated. They have not only not sought to become
sea captains or military generals, but have not even tried to be lawyers or ambassadors. Politically tliey have been content to demand the franchise vhile the only profession, before monopolized by men which, they have invaded is that of medicine.
The Speaker's Wife.
Miss" Wade (now Mrs. Colfax) resides with her stepmother, her father and mother both being dead. She is the niece of Senator Wfde, who resides at Jefferson, fifteen miles from Andover. Miss Wade is about thirty years of age, of medium size, good figure, dark hair, brown eyes, and has a pleasing face indicating goodness and intelligence. All who know her speak of her amiability and quiet good sense, as qualifying her admirably to preside at the house of the Vice President elect. Three years ago she spent the winter in Washington with her aunt, Mrs. Senator Wade, at the house of Mr. Burrett, on Four-and-a half street, where Mr. Colfax also stopped and tlje friendship formed at that time probably laid the foundation for the present more intimate relations. Miss Wade was one of the excursion part}' with Senator Wade and Mr. Colfax that came so near being cut off by the Indians on their Rocky Mountain trip. The other ladies of the party were Mrs. Matthews, mother of Mr. Colfax Miss Carrie Matthews, his sister Miss Sue Mat thews, his cousin, and Miss Sallie Bowles, daughter of Sam Bowles, of the Springfield Republican. These ladies are said to have displayed an amount of courage and self possession on the occasion of the Indian attack that won for them an enthusiastic vote of admiration from their companions, and from the rough mountaineers.
