TUB "NICE TOUSr« XADY." The "Nice Young Lady" is a dear, sweet, harmless creature, with no sharp, disagreeable points, and no other points worth speaking of. She dresses according to the latest fashion plates—that is,if she has ar indulgent father, which is quite sure to be the case. Whatever remnant of hair is left her from the tortures of the curling iron is "frizzed," and rolled, and padded after approved models, and without the slightest reference to cranical or facial conformation or becomingness.' She knows the value of money only from its power to purchase gloves and laces, and estimates the qualities of her gentle-: man friends by the cut of their garments and the size of their hands and feet. In all she says and does the one prevailing impulse is self. No heart i? made.lighter, no life sweeter by her presence or her acts. And as her whole life will have been one grand mistake sh6 should be content, at its close, to have inscribed 'uponi her tombstQner "Here lies what was once a Nice Young Lady

THE COMING WOMAN

Mrs. C. S. McDONALD, Editor.

A YOUBM* LADY'S SOfcULOQUY.

Uselessly, aimlessly drifting through, life,r What was I born for? "For somebody's wife," I am told by my mother. Well, that being true, "Somebody" keeps himself strangely from view, and if nought but marriage will settle my fate, I believe I shall die in an unsettled state. For, though I am not ugly—pray, what woman is? You might easily tod a more beautiful phiz: And then as for temper and manners, 'tis plain, He who seeks for perfection will seek here in vain. Nay, in spite of these drawbacks, my heart is perverse, And 181 oulrt not feel grateful, for "better or worse," To take the first booby that graciously came And offered those treasures, his home and his name. I think, then, my cfc?ncfe£ of marriage are small, But why shoot: I ttau. of such chances at all? My brothers are, ul? of tht.a, lounger than I, Yet they thrive in 'ho world, and why not let me try, I know in business thi I'ra not an. adept, Because from such ittcs most strictly (I'm kept But—this ia the question that puziu^s my mind— Why am I not trained up to work of some kind? Uselessly, aimlessly drifting through lift, Why should I wait to bo ^somebody's wifc?"

WHO WllL TAKE CABE OF THE BABIES.

Who will take care of the babies while the women vote This is one of the questions that perplex persons who are unfriendly to giving women the. ballot. Mrs. Stone answered it in her lecture in Dayton, by asking, who takes care of the babies while women go to the theater, or to late evening parties, or to church, or while the less fortunate of them go and toil the whole day long over the wash tub to earn bread for themselves and their little: ones In an address in Brooklyn, last week, she furnished another answer, as follows: In Vineland, New Jersey, women have voted for three years. This year they decorated the polls with flowers, and voted to the number of two hundred and twenty-one.* A clergyman of that town and his wife both wanted to vote together. They had a baby in the houses which of course could not be left alone. The wife said she'd rather go with him to vote, and the. good husband said he'd rather she did. So they went—and took the baby with them.

FEMAIdE.SUFFRAGE.

The act of the Wyoming Legislature in reference to female suffrages, which has been signed by the Governor, reads as follows: "Every woman of

:the

age of twen

ty-one years, residing in this Territory, may, at every election to be holden under the laws thereof, cast her vote. And her right to the elective franchise and to hold office shall be the same under the election laws of the territory, as those of male electors." 'V (•. m^'ssssssssss^ssss

Greek Mothers.

The Athenian lady, about .to be-" come a mother,. Relieved herself, •U11* der the protection of the mysterious goddess, Eleithyia, whose iiiaages, carved out of perfumed wood, .?yere so closely Veiled that, according to Pausanias, nothing but the countenance, fingers and toes, of the: statue could be seen.

An exquisite delicacy,,apirtnatc refinement ^f/ia.ture, c^g^jftll thebetc ter bopn ^oi^enip deipand, in their hour of.irial^ theattendance1 of individuals of their own sex The ig

norance'bf these female servitors often resulted fatally. Nevertheless, as only maler were permitted, by a law of the State, tq study medicine, multitudes of noble women persisted in risking death rather than immodestly accept—as they viewed it—(the help of science. Observing this evil, and hoping in some measure to remove it, a Greek girl, whose name of Agnodice ought not to be forgotten, disguised herself as a man, acquired a practical knowledge of physic in the Medicai School of Herophilos. She confined her secret to her countrywomen, who immediately availed themselves of the "girl-graduate's" services and knowledge, ^'hereupon her practice became enormous, the jealousy of the "established Faculty" was excited, find poor Agnodice soon found herself in the Court of the Areiopagos, with the dreadful accusation preferred against her of being a general and most ruthless seducer. 'In this dilemma our 'pretty doctress had no choice but to make known her sex yet, the envious iEsculapians, by no means softened, vented their fury in a malignant prosecution. It would have fared badly with Agnodice if, at this critical juncture, the chief gentlewoman of the city had not come forward and borne such emphatic testimony in her favor that the judges were constrain ecf to acquit her nay, more, they were compelled, as. a- trifling punishment for their blindness, and obstinate lack of gallantry, to repeal the old, obnoxious law which forbade any woman aspiring to the learning and usefulness of a physician. What a lesson to muddle headed fogyism. Let us picture Agnodice as she left the court, snrrounded by blessings and— babies, brought by enthusiastic mamas to swell, with piercing treble, a benefactor's triumph let us picture her afterward, patient and sweet humored as ever, .benevolent and active in pursuance of what had become a legalized profession, going her calm way, unmated, for other's sake, until at last the "sweet girl-graduate," grown into a spiritual and gentle old Woman, waits smiling for death beneath the vine leaves of her beautiful farmstead, among the Attic hills.—

The Troy laundresses »ni Collar makers and A. T. Stewart.

The Troy collar makers and lauddresses, after along contest with their employers for higher wages, established a "Co-operative Laundry," with a view Of competing with their late masters. They failed, however, in getting sufficient work to keep the laundry in operation, and at last, determined to establish a manufactory for the purpose' of making enough collars and cuffs to keep the laundresses busy. The goods they turned out were excellent, and agents were engaged to sell the same to New York houses. As the society offered the collars and cuff# at nearly twenty per cent, below the market rates, it was thought a ready sale would be found but such was not the case. Many New York merchants expressed themselves as opposed to co-opera-tion, and refused to support any. sor ciety waging a war with capitalists. Others were afraid, to buy, believing the co-operative shop but a transient institution, and stating, ^should: they be compelled to deil again.with the. large inaniifacturers', the latter: would make them pay 'dearly for assisting the Troy' operators. /, The trade societies were] appealed to, and tickets werie. issued iiiid distrijiiiied. among the various labor unions, each ticket representing a certain number of collars1. Either the worlririgmeii do not use collars, br liaVe a large siipply on babel,- for the tickets rertiained unsold, afi'dj the Tr6y girls foiihd they had a •lar^e'stock 6n hand Which they could not'disios6 Of.1
