THE

COMftG WOMAN

Mrs. C. S. MoDONALD, Editor.

LErricK.

I said to Letticc, our sister Lettice, While droop'il and gUsten'd her eyelash wowii, "Your man's a poor man, a cold and dour man

There's many a better about our town. She smiled

securely—"He

loves me purely

A true heart's sale, both smile or frown, AMI nothtag harms me while his love warms me, Whether the world go up or down.

"lie comes from strangers, and they arc rangers, And ill to trust girl, when out of sisjnt, Friend folk may blame ye, and e'en detame ye— cown oft handled looks seldom white." She raised serenely her eyelids queenly— "My innocence is my whitest gown

harsh tongue grieves me while he believes me, Whether the world goes up or down."

-Your man's a frail man, was ne'er a hale man, And sickness knocketh at every door, And death comes, making bold hearts cower, break ing."

Our Ictticc trembled but once, more. "If death should enter, smite to the center. Our poor home palace, all crumbling down, lie cannot fright us, nor disunite us,

Life bears Love's cross, death brings Love's crown.'

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY. Wednesday morning came, usiiering in one of the most glorious autumnal days. At an early hour we took the cars en route for the Chicago Convention.' The sun shone brightly, the air that came sweeping over the prairie was life giving in its influence. The day seemed typical of the great cause the lovers of truth, justice and equality were convening to discuss. I took my seat near a very pleasant looking lady, and learned during our conversation that she lived in Chicago, boarded, hired all her sewing done, and had plenty of checks. I remarked that I envied her her leisure, and said, how much time she must have for reading, told her my life was crowded so full of business 1 had hardly time to think. u2Yw?e" said she, looking at me in surprise, "it takes my whole time to dress and eat." What n, life work I thought, for an intelligent woman of means. The weather was so inviting that I spent hours looking over those "broad prairie lands" that are holding out so xnany inducements to the unoccupied •"white males," and was agreeably surprised in seeing two women engaged in hay making. One was raking the hay together, the other stacking it, and they handled their rake and pitchfork in a manner that showed they understood their business. They were assisting a man who seemed in very earnest conversation with them don't know whether he was holding forth to them the awful degradation it was, to be out of their sphere, or not, but I do know that they looked the picture of health. How I envied them their appetite lor supper, and the sweet sleep they would enjoy as a reward of their outdoor exercise. Dyspepsia would have to look elsewhere for victims.

The cars halted for a few minutes, and new faces were added to our number. One lady, I remember, who wore diamonds enough to have purchased our whole train of cars, came Avalking up the aisle with a very small lap dog and the New York '•"Weekly in her arms she read the paper and caressed the dog and the loving glances she cast on the latter

from time to time, were no doubt thought by some to be very lady-like indeed. I did not ask her if she was going to the Convention, forjudging from appearances, she had all the rights she wanted. We reached the city at a late hour, and retired to dream of home, Conventions and Women's Rights. Thursday dawned clear and beautiful and the bracing breezes from off the lake inviting us out for a stroll, we selected Michigan Avenue, the pride of all western Avenues, it being several squares distant and in a central part of the city. In passing, I looked for book stores, picture galleries, academies of fine arts, and other tokens of civilization, but instead I noticed drinking houses, tobacco stores, eating saloons, one shooting gallery, and an occasional fruit store or drug store. I remarked to my companion that if this locality was a type of the city, and moral re form and woman's rights meant the same thing, surely we had made a happy choice in selecting Chicago for our Convention, if it could only be held 365 days in the year. Walking slowly I heard the rattle of comihg ^wheels, a hasty glance showed me an

independant looking woman perched up in a wagon full of cabbages and other vegetables. She, was driving and driving with a will too. She didn't wear that care-worn, subdued, viney expression, so much admired by the preachers of the -lin your sphere" doctrine, but rather an energetic look, a take-care-of-myself expression, and the lines of care were all covered over with the roses of health for the roses that should adorn human faces, grow just where cabbages do, out doors. As I walked along the Avenue, to my left was the lil 'I have no language to describe its beauty, at that early morning hour the sun had transformed it into a lake of diamonds—I was lost in admiration, but the wings of my fancy was suddenly clipped by catching a glance to my right. I noticed a woman that looked feeble enough to have been in her room under the care of physician and nurse, driving a poor old horse, hitched to a rickety old wagon which was full of tubs. She drove around from one back door to another, gathering slops by the bucketful and carrying it and pouring it into the tubs. At one gate there were eight or ten workmen. She quietly and silently carried ou't the slop. As I watched her tottering steps I looked in vain for the gallantry that is said to characterize our men of America, to suddenly develop itself, and a strong right arm seize the slop and empty it for her for I thought it was only those terrible, strong-minded, un3exed, Women's Rights women, who made speeches, attended Conventions and who wanted to vote, that were to be deprived of all gallantry. iNow I don't suppose that this poor woman had ever heard of Women's Rights, but had been forced from one occupation to another in her struggle for life, down to the lowest of all occupations—a slop gatherer. If she filled an humble sphere below, she may fill a higher one above. It being near 10 o'clock we turned our steps toward Library Hall? We passed a great many men, all seemed in a hurry, they had each doubtless some different purpose they were hastening to execute. Although these men differed in name, age, temperament, occupation, looks and morality, yet they were almost a unit in one tiling and that was in yetting rid of tobacco that is, if it could be gotten rid of by smoking and chewing it all up for nearly all were chewing and smoking with a zeal worthy of a better cause.

An intelligent and appreciative audience assembled at an early hour. Distinguished speakers, visitors and reporters, occupied the stand. The men who took part in the Convention I noticed were introduced by the several titles of Judge, Honorable Professor and Reverend, but none presented the. claims of women in a clearer light than Mr. Henry Blackwell. There were women, too, who represented Medicine, Law and Divinity, but I never remember seeing or hearing anything more impressive than when at the opening of the afternoon session, the President, Mrs. Livermore, said she would introduce to the audience Rev. Mary Ann Thompson, who would unite with us in prayeri The minister was not more than 22 years old, slight in stature, and for my part I thought I had never looked on a more handsome face than hers, when she stood with uplifted hands earnestly pleading for God's guidance in the pjith that leads to liberty. No one would ever object to a woman filling the pulpit unless it be one that would object to the world having a Savior if He must be given through the mediumship of a woman.

Mrs. Livermore said the Women's Rights wpmen had joined hands from Maine to Oregon, and judging from their earnest eloquence and enthusiasm, we think the time not far distant when women will not only live, but move and have a being.
