| Show ON lAUE mrs henry ward beecher gives her views on the subject I 1 see unrest discontent edrita and sin I 1 see girla from choso whoso cheeks tho first blush of innocence inao cence from choso whoso soul the last of youth have vanished women gold to frivolity women wasting most precious girls women whose ambition has no higher object than to mislead and triumph over men and men growing hard and wicked going down to death with no hand to save all for abo lack of a true borne then I 1 remember that the homo is the true kingdom of woman where her rights can never be dethroner dethroned that all pure love all right thoughts all re dicion if you would have them liv emust have their roots beneath its altar this conviction impels me to say to eveia woman who baa a home let home stand first before nil other things no matter how high boar ambition may transcend its duties no matter how far your talents or your influence may reach beyond its doors before everything else build up a true home ha not its slave bo its minister let it not bo enough that it ia swept and garnished that its silver glistens that its food is delicious feed the love in it feed alio truth in it teed thought and aspiration feed all charity and gentleness in it then from its walls shall come forth the truo woman and the true man who together shall rule and bless the land Is this an overwrought picture we think not what honor can be creater than to found such a hamel what dignity higher than to reign its undisputed honored mistress 1 what 19 the ability to speak on a public platform or the wisdom that may command a seat on a judges bench compared to that which can insure and preside over a true boniel to be tho guiding star the ruling spirit in such a position is a higher honor than to rule an empire comans womans rights lias man any higher rights than these to be sure man often abuses his power bringing sorrow and woo upon her who trusting and loving him should always be the mistress of his heart an equal partner in all his possessions his joys and his sorrows but are there not too many cases on record where the woman has abused the power with which the marnadee vow endowed her destroying the peace and making shipwreck of all that her husband holds most precious the law does not as yet secure to a wife lucli independence as will guard her against injustice and meanness from the hands of her husband but what defense has ever been provided against the cruel sorrows that bad wives can bring down upon their husbands has any one ever ascertained the full statistics or clearly estimated the average it is well no doubt that this matter lias been BO widely agitated as it all tends we hope to establish the rights of both man and woman on a firm foundation but if before that is settled man make a full statement of his wrongs there are those who could bring forward just cause of complaint in large measure ob if husbands and wives would always remember that with them as in other associations union is strength that united they stand divided they tall that together they should walk through life together share the joys together bear the burdens and crosses what a happy world this would be if it is a united kingdom the wife accepts the rough as well as the smooth of household rule as her part of the administration if able to govern without a kitchen cabinet a happy woman is she but it not a good w ifa will endure uch remembering that they need de but a email part of home the purest sweetest hollest holiest elements that constitute a home if recognized in the right spirit will enable her to forget or endure calmly such small trials meanwhile the husband the household king accepts liis part in tho rule of this united kingdom are hia cares any lighter than liis cifes look at them the dust and toil and strife the battling with the great world outside in whatever sphere his talents and duties call him to provide necessities luxuries or honors accordingly as he is pros for the family sheltered in his home I 1 think the joys anal the sorrows the crosses and the crowns in married life are about evenly balanced and nothing will right all tha wrongs and bring order out of the confusion of these vexed questions so surely as alie shelter of a true home ruled by the true wile and mother mea HESKY A venire was issued by judge for tho following jurors choso
