"WOMAS'S SPHERE."

"It is hard for a woman to live alone." It Is not bard to walk alone, up hights the great have trod.

Btaudiy be-by decdo rlac nearer

By sowing seed, bind golden grain in Ilia good harvest-time, To gather home t.he perfect fruit that springs from thought Bublime.

We may reach out a strong right arm to grasp the truer power, Or weep weak unavailing tears o'er many a wasted hour No day dream of the brain can make leas hard tomorrow's toil— The hands muet worlr. cut down the tares that cumber earth's rich soil.

There i« a higher life tor all, that all who work attain— Who rest God's victors at the last, made patient saints by paiu Jiuf. tears alouo cannot avail—her Womanhood, must rise, And claim a right to wider work 'tis Soul that glorifies!

Not aer—that snatches from her grasp the first fruits of her soul That bids her, 'mid the wayside thorns, press toward a hard-won goal It bids her calmly, idly sit—dnnib, passionless and still, Beholding Wrong o'crcome the Eight, Truth yield to Evil'ts will.

Let no man dare with impious hand to draw life's boundary line, (rod made her woman, made him mail—His be the right divine Let no man dole out work to her, the world is broad and wide, Yet God is not so far away but that lie still may guide.

Whatever may betide her here, God sees upon his throne. She cannot in life's endless toil be utterly alone The voice that spake in Nazareth, sweet unto

WHY

J«,Vrir

WOMEN SlKAitt MORE?

I have pondered over this question a good dcjil, and finally conclude to submit it to tiie reader* ot the COMING WOMAN' for answer. I fancy I iiear scores of voices join in the reply, "We lumft time.'' Let us see if we cannot find time. A woman keeps house, has a large family, cannot afford to keep help, must oversee ail the housework, can't have time to read. But why not take time I do not say neglect your work. Far from it. But read while you. vest. An old son gsays. •'Ever to toil the sagos .say

Our finer senses spoil."

And I, for one, think it true. No woman, no matter how industrious she may be has work enough to oeipy every waking moment of her life. There are times when every woman can snatch a few minutes from labor and devote it to reading. Even on wash-day, yes, preposterous as it may seem, there is time to read on wash-day. While you are waiting for the clothes to boil, for instance, ou can fix. your fire nicely, and then sit down, with newspaper or magazine whichever may be at hand, and you will soon forget your fatigue in something interesting you will line! thereits, and be oblivious of soiled clothes and soapsuds till the bubbling of the boiling water warns you that it is time to go to work again. Then you arise refreshed in body and mind and continue your labor with renewed vigor. Your mind diverted by what you have read, you do not think your task half so hard as if you continually brooded over the probability of having to wash every week for forty or fifty years. r^ Yes, you can read on wash-day if you only think so. Again, when your day's work is done, instead of running over to see Mrs. A. or Mrs. B. and spending the hour or two from supper time till dark in idle gossip, stay at home and enjoy the society of men and women iu print, who labor with their brains and pens for the instruction or amusement of thousands who thoughtlessly say they havn't time to profit by it. It at times you are forced to wait for lather or husband to come to his meals, do not grow half angry or wholly impatient, running every minute or two to look if he is coming, but content yourself with book or paper till it suits his pleasure to arrive. Then enliven the meal by re-

rather tliau sit and "sulk" because your dinner came so near being spoiled by having fco stand too long uutasted. In fact there are a hundred little niches in life that may be liiled by reading, which may be in-

structive or at the least amusing, and thus save many a wife and mother from moodiness and sour temper.

THE New York State Woman Suffrage Convention, was held in Saratoga, iu the large parlors of Congress Hall, which were crowded, with Susan B. Anthony presiding. Millard Fillmore, Thurlow Weed and his daughters, Commodore Vanderbilt, Governor Opdyke, and any number of orthodox clergymen benignly looked on during the pro ceedings.
