You come out with your stereotyped remark, the man is surerior to wo man in intellect; and then-a I open on ny desk the swarthv. iron-typd thunderbolted writingN of Harriet Martin.2a1 and Elizabeth Browimng and George Lio6 You come on n it h, your sterect V1I le "iemar'e about woman's o:periorityV to I ImI in the it TM of atection: burt i ask you where vas ther more capac.vt I i cc ti:ia ii John the Disciple. and io!,-r: M:c'her-ne, the Scotch man, and,.John Summertieli the 3Methodist, and Henry M1artin the missionary? The heart of those men was so large that aftter vou bad rolled into it two hemispheres therI was room still left to marshal the hosts of heaven and set up the throne of the eternal Jehovah. I deny to man the throne intellectual. I deny to woman the throne afectional. No human phraseology will ever define the spheres while there is an intuition by which we know when a man is in his realm, and when a women is in her realm, and when either of them is out of it. No bungling legislature ought to attempt to make a definition, or to sav: "This is the line and that is the Iine." My theory is that it a woman wants to vote she ought to vote, and that if a man wants to embroider and! keep house, he ought to b- allowed to em broider and keep house. The--e are masculine women and there are elreniinate men. My theory is, that you have no right to interfere with any one's doin- anything that is right eous. Albany and \'ashington might as well decree by legislation how high a brown thrasher should ny, or how deep a trout should plung., as to try to seek out the height or the depth of woman's duty. The question of capacity will settle finally the whole question, the whole subject. When a woman is prepared to preach, she will preach, and neither Conference nor Presbvterv can hinder her. When a woman is prepared to move in highest commercial spheres. she will have great influence on the kxehange, and no boards of trade can hinder her. I want woman to understand that heart and brain can overfly any barrier that politicians may set up, and that nothing can keep her back or keep her down but the question of incapacity. I here are women, I know, of most undesir able nature. who wander up and down the country-having no homes of their own, or forsakin- their own homes-talking about their rights; and we know very well tiat they themselves are fit neither to vote nor fit to keep house. Their mission seems to be to hu miliate the two sexes at the thought of what any one of us might become. No one would want to live under the laws that -uch women would enact, or to have cast upon society the children that such wornien would raise. But I shall show you this .norning that the best rights that woman can own, she already has in her posseion: that her positio:i in this country at this time is not one of comminisera tion, but one of congratulation: that the grandeur and power oi her realn have never yet been aPpreciated: that she sits to-day on a throne so high, that all th : thron-s of earth piled on top of each other would not make for her a footstool. Here is the platform on which -he stands. A way down below it are the ballot-box an-l th~e Congress ional assemblage and the Legislative hall. Woman always has voted and always will vote. Our great-grandfathers thought they were by their votes putting Washington into the presidential chair. No. ils mother, by the principles she taught him, and by the habits she inculcated~made him President. It was a Christian mother's hand dropping the ballot when Lord Bacon wrote, and Newton philosophized, and Alfred the Great gov' erned, and Jonathan Edwards thundered of judgment to come. How many men there have been in high political station who would have been insufficient to stand the test to which their moral principle was put had it not been for a wife's voice that encouraged them to do right, and a wife's prayer that sounded louder than the clamor of partisan ship! Why, my friends, the right of sutffer age, as we men exercise it, seems to be a feeble thing. You, a Christian man, come up to the ballot-box and you drop your vote. Right after you comes a libertine, or a sot the offscouring of the street-and he drops his vote; and his vote counter'acts yours. But if in the quiet of homie lie a daughter by her Christian demeanor. a wife by her indlustr'y, a mother by her faithfulness, casts a vote in the rioht direction, then nothing can resist it, and tie influence of that vote will throb through tho eternities. My chief anxiety then is, not that woman have other rights accorded her; but that she. b~y the gracie of God. rise up to the apprecia tion of the glorious rights she already pos aesses. This morning i shall only have tuni to speak of one grand and all-absorbmng right that every woman has, and that is to make home happy. That realm no one ham ever disputedl wvdh her. Men may come homt at noon or at night, and they tarry a com-' paratively Uittle while: but she. all day long. governs it, beautities it, sanctities it. it u within her power to make it the most attrac tive place on earth. it is the only eahn lhar bor in this world.

Better be there than wear Victoi'ia's cor'onet. Better be th're than carry the purse of a Princess. Your abode may bie humble, but you can, by y'our faith in Goil and your chei'fulniess of demeanor, gild it with splendors suen as an upholsterer's hand niever' yet kindled. There are abodes in the city-humble. two stories ; four plain, unparperedl roomrs: undesirable neighborhood : anid yet the.re is a nman here this morning whmo would die on that threshold rather than surrender it. 'Why It is honie. Whenever he thinks gif iti. he sees anzels of God hove'in~ around it. The ldders of heaven are let down to that house. Over the chill's rough crib there are the chmant ings of angeis like those that broike over liethulehem. It is home.

The hot suns of Au gist fairly upon us. we are treated to a few hiit on autumin fash ions. It is anthioritively announced the great fa * vorite is to he dark moss green trimmied with black. Black braiding a is xlaced either around the extreme I edge o jupe or in panels at each side pointing up toward the waist. Of course the black mo:re vest is worn as usual. Combination kid boots with green cloth tops, a lighter shade of green stockings, and tan Suede gloves complete the walking outfit, with a black felt hat and a plume or a dainty green cape of velvet or feit or both combined. Another color, more used y for house wear as a demi-toilet or sim e ply visiting dress, is the so-callIed Bois de i ose. a soft, ruddy brown like the mellow shading of the autumn leaf. Black is to be used to trim every thing, and a great comfort it will be to small purses, for it allows a black hat, umbrella, gloves, and boots, and does away with countless accessories as necessities. In some of the present honse dresses, b1road-striped woolen materials are neatly combined with plain-colored fabrics. In one, navy blue camel's hair cloi composed the bas ;ue and ddrapery, the skiirt, which wats i1nad11 plain, being of a red and blue striped canvas cloth. This skirt was fully visible upon the sides, whi re the Sdraperies were looped to the hips, and th stripes were ron \erti ally. In front, however, the long. gracefully' draped ta'lier almost entirely conl eealed it, the back draperies h1 -ing the same effect in the rear. The bas 1no was trimmed with cufs having tine red braid embroideries ul)cn them, a coll tr and narrow revers of the same ieing worn. The latter inclosed a plaited whnite chemisette. Silvered met al but tons were worn. Dresses of white muslin, trimmed with embroidery and pearl buttons, w ith the occasional addition of lace, are exceedingly popular, and for cool ness cannot be surpassed. The sleeves are usually left unlined, and in many cases the 'sleeves, together with round spaces on the throat and shoulders, arc of lace. The latter fashion is not, how ever, commendable for its good taste. A tasteful trimming for a round straw hat may be formed by drawin g a broad band of dark-colored velvet about the base of the crown. Over this draw a band of cream-colored lace ox exactly the same width. lRibbon of tcream color, and of the same tint as the velvet, should be made up in bows gor knots, which are then placed one above another, upon the front, to the *height of the crown. A wing, or a sprayv of forget-me-not. marguerites, or Ysimilar' simle blossoms completes the *hat. Heliotrope continues in favor for millinery purposes, all the colors emi Sploved being of the more delicate shades, as befits the season. Charles N. and "English" ink remain in favor, and the shades of green are particu larly vaied and nnmerous. T all straw shanes se most favored, and, with sailor hats and sonme turbans, almost monopolize the field of millin 'ery. The capote is, however, difficult to vanjuish and still remains fashiona ble, though these styles aro not much worn by young or un:iiarried ladies. They seem to best suit matronly heads. The variety of capote most used is a helmet shape which conmes to a sharp tpoint just above the center of the fore ~head.
