THE COMING WOMAN.
Mrs. C. S. McDONALD, Editor.
THE LAWKS' HKAIIIM ASSOCIATION of Crnwforilsvillc—ltoonw in llughes' i?lock. Lizzie M. Boynton President. Mary II. Campbell, Secretary.
PETITION FOlt WOMAN SUFFRAGK. The following Petition was adopted by the Nrtional Woman's Suffrage Association at their meeting held at the Woman's Bureau in New York June 1 To (he Senate and House of lleprescntatives of the United States:
The undersigned women of the United States ask for the prompt passage by your Honorable bodies of an amendment to the Constitution to be submitted to the Legislatures for ratification, which shall secure to all citizens the right of suffrage, without distinction of sex.
It would be well for the women of Crawfordsville to keep this petition lying on their parlor tables, and invite every woman on entering the room to sign it, or refuse to do so. The Agitator says We hope women identified with the cause of woman suffrage everywhere, will adopt this method. One important feature oi our work for the coming year must be petitioning Congress, and the re spective State Legislatures. Two hundred thousand women petitioned Congress last 3rear for their political rights—we want two millions to ask them this year. So let ever}' woman keep a petition in her house ready for signature, and carry one in her pocket when she calls on her friends. Get the name upon it of every woman of your acquaintance. Let the petitions be rolled up by thousands. This is very important, as you will understand, when you remember that one of the most common—but "illogical"—objections against woman suffrage is this, "women haven't asked for it!''
THE Northwestern Christian University at Indianapolis, was chartered in 1848 for the equal education of both sexes. It graduated its first class in 1857, and the first diploma issued was to Mrs. N. Burns. Since that time over twenty women have graduated in the same classes with men students. The University has a cash endowment of $100,000, and has an unencumbered property worth about 8200.000. The Chair of English Literature and Belles Lettres has been recently endowed by Mr. Butler, of Indianapolis, in memory of a beloved daughter, lately deeeased, with the stipulation that it must always be filled by a lady professor. Miss Catharine Merrill, of Indianapolis, a most accomplished scholar, author of The Soldier of Indiana in the War for the Union, and several other published works, has been elected to this professorship, and will enter on her duties at the opening of the next collegiate year.
A HINDOO widow has been left the sum of £20,000 by her husband, had her rights disputed by other members of the family. The English courts haggled so long over the matter, that •when the case was decided in her favor it took the whole £20,000 to pay the money the poor woman had been obi igedto borrow to defend her claim. We have parallel cases of injustice to widows occurring constantly in our own Christian, civilized Republic.
A LADY of Portland remarked of Eev. Dr. Todd's unfriendly review of Miss Phelps' "Gates Ajar"Let Dr Todd write a book himself, and name it according to his hard theology, "The Gates Slammed to and Barred."
ANNA DICKINSON, it is said will publish a new kook in November It is her firm determination to succeed yet as an author, and when Anna will, she will, you may depend On't.
Tnc Emperor of the French re cently expressed himself in fayor of women being enfranchised. He remarked that he had, in France, more women on his side than men.

SOOXKK OK LATEK.
Sooner or later the storm shall heal Over my slumber from lieail to fuel: Sooner or later the winds shall ra\
In the loii!i grass above my grave.
I shall nob heed them whore I lie, Nothing their sound shall signify. Nothing the headstone's I'ret of rain,, Nothing to me the dark day's ]iaiu.
Sooner or later the sun shall shine. With tender warmth on that mound of mini!, Sooner or later ill Summer air, Will clover and violets blossom there.
I shall not feel in that deep-laid rest. The sheeted light fall over my breast. Nor ever note in those hidden hours The wind-blown breath, of the tossing flowers,
Sooner or later the stainless snows Shall add their hush to my mute repose. Sooner or later shall slant and shift, And heap my bed with the dazzling drift.
Chill though that frozen pall shall seem, Its touch ho colder can make the dream That recks not the sweet and sacred dread Shrouding the city of the dead.
Sooner or later the bee shall come And till the noon with his golden hum Sooner cr later on half-paused wing The blue-birds's warble about me ring,—
Ring and chirrup and whistle, with glee. Nothing his music means to me, None of these beautilul things shall know IIow soundly their lover sleeps below.
Sooner or later, far out in the night. The stars shall over me wing their flight Sooner or later my darkling dews Catch the white sparks in tueir silent ooze.
Never a ray shall part the gloom That wraps me round in tfie kindly tomb: Peace shall be perfect for lip and brow Sooner or later,—Oh, why not now!
HARRIET E. PRKBCOTT.
WouiairN Sphere.
The Tribune for May (th has the following: The respective duties of Man and Woman have hitherto been assigned them by the tacit but earnest concurrence of the two sexes in the belief that it was best for both that Woman should rule and manage within the sphere of her own household, and Man in the wider but not highr sphere indicated by the trite but expressive phrase "all out of doors." We consider this a judicious and mutually advantageous arrangement—we believe a great majority of both Men and Women think so if they not now, or the time shall ever come when they do not, then there will inevitably be a change, until then we do not believe there will or ought to be such a change. "Tacit and earnest concurrence of both sexes,'' indeed! Ah, Tribune,\ you have hammered away at that nail long enough, and you ought to know by this time that something is seriously amiss with either carpenter or tools, or else it would have struck home long ago. For the sake of a little variety, if not for a principle, let us have a change of base. Will the Tribune favor us with statistics in reference to the number of women posessing homes Is this aged and time-shackled sheet aware the num ber of women compelled to go out of the "sphere of their own households'' into the restricted paths of out door labor is almost equal to that of men Did it ever hear that parents die, and that husband are sometimes forced to submit to the hand of the destroyer—that both fathers and husbands are known to have plaj*ed false—deserted those dependent on their bounty—leaving delicately nurtured wives and daugli-j ters minus the "sphere of their own household It strikes us that such reports have been wafted to our ears, both concerning death and disgrace. The Tribune surely knows that there are old maids all over the world as well as in New York city, having been brought to celibacy both on account of disinclination and because the right man never asked them to wed "and it also knows that these old maids have to step outside the sphere of their own households to earn for themselves comfortable livings. Ah, friend Tribune, the wheel it seem to us has turned almost around, and we can congratulate ourselves in having Heaven's help at last. There is nothing surer. When he sees that the women have pretty nearly effected their object—when there remains only one obstruction to the last ditch—and every other man in the country is a little backward in coming forward, the veteran will turn his pleasant face toward us, and with a little of the magnanimity displayed in the case of poor Jeff, kick away the last stone from the vestibule of Woman Suffrage.—Jievlution.
