And as I am writing it, lei me say that, while Miss Susan Anthony and Mrsi George Train are clamorin; for women to vote, and to work, and to aiog base if tbey wish, we are her right to be a wife and a mother, which' the ttidsdciea of the times threatened tu'

Miss Anthony and 'Mrs. Train, if Ion. derstsnd them, claim that woman csn do just what man does, and baa .a right to doit, and cao do it as well. iow, claid and assert that man cannot do just what a woman can do, nor do it as well; and a part of it be cannot do at all.

tnan cD do. I affirm that no woman, be she doctor, artist, writer, law maker, or scldier, can' do' anything comparable to that. I affirm that the very moment she abandon tier prit wort, and attemntfi to ihe work of mn,'Bhe is likely to fail; aud if she proposes to subvert the laws of her own being, which are the laws of her 'Creator, she will go the wall In the great business of the world, woman cannot compete wiih man. because she cannot do them as well.' . She is a perpetual invalid, as all know, and cannot be relied upon to do man's work year in and year out; that is one great fact of her existence which cannot be ignored, and it settles the question, if nothing else did it, of her inability to compete with roan. There is no world's work in which is equal to man; not even in same directions where men fancy she is supreme. Mas, invents and works out even the fashion plates which show woman how she is to dress herself; and even in cutting and making her own dresses, man is her superior. One small fact will explain this curious inability to do business, for several thousand of years, woman has insisted .on but toning her own clothes, and her children's clothes behind, so that by no possibility can they dress themselves without help. It in most curious and significant. I may grant and must graut that a woman does now and then do perfect work out of her borne, but I must believe it to be exceptional. She has not the fiber to compete with man, ber skin and her flesh and her very bone are different. Now what does this mean? Does it mean that man is unjust to woman, or is it God who is accused?' No, this revulsion which is going on in civilized societies against marriage is significant of much; and its evils m a a . at a will lall OraV and heaviest on woman. at, then, can she do to protect herself? lat is tbe vital question. She wishes to be married, or she ought; how carTshe secure it? .Not by being usejess and ignorant, and oot by being & spendthrift, not by being'ineompetent for the great business of wife and mother, not by being whimsical ai.d ill-tempered either before or after marriage, not by being raielesa and indifferent to all tbe world but her elf, not by being a fault-finding and dissatisfied woman. Jut the reverse of these will insure marnage. Hut now wo come to u difficult, almost unmanageable questions: lloware those who do not, or cannot, will not marrv, to live? Some occupations they must have, aud 1 believe j they are not competent to cope with wan in the great business of the world. If they are. if they wish to, there is nothing to hinder tbo great businesses .are all open; at merchant, mauufaoturer, farmer, writer, publisher, tc, nothing cau prevent her success if she has it in her to do it. 15 ut if abe is to expect marriage, and then drop her bus'iuese, she will never do it thoroughly, and successfully. It has been tried, and has aiwaya failed. 13 ut who will hinder ber from attempting und filliog any part sho can fill, and will? Who will.heaitate to pay her tho same wages for the same work as a n:an? Let a woman manufacture as good locomotives, or import as jjood teas, or produce as good books, or grow as good wheat as a man, and she csn comnvind the uino price. uut it she rusbcj into tho busness which are overstocked, sho must take what wages she can get, -aud it will br poor; or, if sho bo a poor careless workman, sho will go the wall, of course. .There ia no pity in the lawa of God, not much in tbe hearts ot roan. Recently an old man and his wife from the country attended a concert, and during the singing of "Who will Caro for Mother Now?" by a young lady, tbo old woman was seen to speak to ber better half, when he up and sang out;uSee here young gal, you just tell him I'll eeo the old woman, if he kicks the bucket." "Ton ought to lay up something for a rainy day," said an anxious father to bis profligate son. "I have," replied tho youth." Wbai? An umbrella . 1 ' " I IM , .

Dut home papers are "Jewed" down below a psying jrbe, and tlfeo they ta aoavu .v aaaav vu a a cs.ii xi it u c yi, UDtaleable Vtruck," at .the very liehest prices it tbey show soy jndepeouencc IU u,s Faruca,ri or reiuse io come aown mootnsin tne year in fact,!. justt'DOW, there is no profit on subscriptions..; The papers must depend mostly , upon advertising and pub.ic printing. ' Yet how do tbey fare in this respect? 'Ycar afiet4 year as regularly, as the Legislature meets, there is a war opened , against printers. Men who are living at the public :cribJ senuup memorials aoa petitions, -stigmatizing printers as paupers and pickpockets and demand protection agaiust :them. Efforts are made to dispense with really necessary public printing; .and toa that I which cannot possibly be dispensed with, tne rates are reduced lr below a .remunerative price. , If a printer occasionally stumbles upon a paying job, he is at unco bouoded as a public.- plunderer,: without any account being taken . of ; thr very' many jobs upon which he makes nothing, and of the vast amount of matter 'inserted for nothing, for which he justly ought to have pay. Lawyer's fee, tnecbanic'a wages, and the prices of farmers' produce, are never legislated against; but a discrimination must be made against printers, in Under such circunistaoces, how ia it possible to have a pure press? .When un der the tender mercies of such a ; system, a printer fiods himself head over ears in debt, without means to purchase material, pay bands, or buy bread, whu can wonder it mey greedily accept a uopus Jrora some . a.l aa i . weauny political aspirant, inoraer to ptacthemsilves iu a position of ease and come fort? Their necessities will blind them to the fault! of their benefactor. ; They ! will reason to themselves, that perhaps he is not so bad as be is represented; that he is as g( od as the common run; or that, if he is not exactly sound, he cannot do moth harm, and there are plenty of others to keep him straight. Thus they; will peek for excuses to justify their course, when they are perhaps aiding to bring abnu4: a public calamity. Women bold their. virtue dearer than all else; yet, pressed by want; thousands of them barter it for biead. ' Snide press, naturally inclined to bo free and independent, may be induced' by .necessity to sull its influence to unworthy purposes. ,We repeat, if the people desire a pure and independent press; let them enable it to be so, aud they will have their heart's wish. Nothing is so humiliating to an editor as to be compelled to act as a dependent, a menial, or i mouth piece to hotuo individual; and he, will cease doing fo, when the people begin to appreciate bis necessities, and cease in vetitirf contrivances and enactments to grind him down. Advertising and Its Results. -No better means to make one's goods, wares, and merchandise, and their particular meritsknown to the world, has ever been discovered than through the medium of newspapers. Whether commercial, political, literary, religious, of whatever sect, party, or authorship, all luve their circulation and iufluence. Ilowmany successful business men could be enumerated who owo their high pecuniary po sition to advertising alone! How mtiny plucky firms are tho lead, monopolizing certain lines of buine, simply bv Judicious advertising! Thcro is not In existence an article of vuluo that 'is not worth publishing to tho world.

Barrett & Co.,' of this city, the gentlemanly uud popular proprietors of that indispensubiö article known as "Uarrett'e Vegetable Hair Kostorative." Two years ago this preparation was scarcely known cutsiJo of this section, to-day there is not a city, town, or borough this Bide of the l'acifio where this excellent "llenower" is not known and appreciated, and is, we learn, rapidly supplanting all others. To be sure, this preparation poscnct real merit, and ' Is far removed from the thousands ' of vlle nostrums which constantly flood every market. It also received the endorse ment of the Agricultural Society in 1563 which awarded its highest premium 4 (a Silver Medal) crcr given in tho' line of I atent remedies. Yet tiBarrett,s'i Hair tcstorativo" owes it success and present position in a great degree to ' advertising.

. Land Grants to Railroads. In a recent speech upon this subject in the House of KepmeuutivCT, -Mr? Julian, of Iu4iajiaDiade6onie truly, startiing Statements, speaking ot the t graut in aid of; railroads, tJie said: Tt.a rprnl - grants I have gained;., amount'," to;Jittle ahart of two hundred., millions at. acrPR! lanrt if wa AA In I Iii I Vi i.tn.nuni Viarnrt ti - avM a-w( p l v u vv.

J ulisn should deem those tacts, worthy or, the gravest consideration for a bad public land policy would proves terrible disaster lo' the far West,.and the far.future of the entire country. '. When Michigan was first opened to settlers, the title to a large proportion .of its territory became vested in capitalists at the East; who bought it for speculative purposes and held it at ad; vauced prices. The conequenco,. Was those lands were shunned by actual,1 settlers and that State has to day immense tracts of wild land that would Jong ere this have become cultivated farms, had it net been for the curse of , speculation. Thousands' of pioneers pushed through to Illinois and Wisconsin, who. would otherwise have settled in Michigan, t . .. With this warniog before us,' and tho startling fact already quoted, ; we turn to the remedy, which M.r, Julian 'proposes, with the inquiry, Does it meet the.. demand of' the case? i His speech was in support of a bill , introduced by. himself, which provides 'that. in all future: giants to aid in building tailroads the odd-uuin bcred sections shall be sold only td actual Fettlers in quantities not exceeding' one hundred and sixty acre, for a piice not exceeding the maximum of S2.&0 per aere, and that any eveu sections which shall re-, main undisposed of at the expiration , of ten years ehall .be subject to the same dioposition as all. the other. public lapdn. . It is hardly possible' to ; euipha.-itQLtoO strongly the importance of this provision..: . Anoiber provision of this bill is. that "any eveu sections which shall leoiain ubaisposed'of at the expiration f tea years, tball.be ffuhjfct to the same disposition as all other public lauJs.". The language is atubiguons. If it means that at the-cod of tea years the lands belonging' to the road shall be sold to settlers in quantities not exceeding lb'O acres, that would be ac ceptable.
