Show WOMAN'S E X P 0 n E N T. 141 If a womam dares to stand up in public and ountain of all knowledgelet express her ideas, (even before her own sex) or if .she happens, to differ in point of opinion from herf husband, father, or brother, she is at once set down as a radical. Or as belonging to a certain 'stripe of female characters," (a term I have heard,) who ransack the country, and in opeii defiance of all the laws of propriety, and modesty make for themselves a standard of morality; endeavoring to gain influence by. imposing upon the unsophis-- r ticated and unwary. Their strongest hold lies with the opposite sex, who in this respect seem to be the weaker, instead of the stronger na tu re; They -- are : notlevating butdegrading womanhood. Now, with such we have no fellowship, or kindred association; our cause is one totally dissimilar in ail respects. We would represent our sex, truthfully and In an unpreju-dicimanner.

It is proverbial that men do not choose intellectual women for wives. They consider them very appropriate for old maids; this helps them to bear their cruel lot with a better degree of serenity; gives them occupa- tiou in place of family cares. But for domestic home companions Oh no!
