An answer to our editorial of las week says: Dear Mr. Editor:- 0 Some one within your ed itorial sanctum has dared to "ente where angels might fear to tread,' and impugned woman with the de sire to wrest from man the scepte of his power in lieu of the privileget possession of his "pants". Viewed from a woman's stand point the position is scarcely tenabli and since having thrown down th' gavel of accusitive reprimand, per mit me the privileged use of th cudgel of argumentative denial. "As the cord unto the bow is, So is the woman unto the man, Useless each without the other. Small wonder then that God i His unerring wisdom pitied th helpless estate of man and bestow ed upon him the companionship q woman; out of his side he brough her that she might be of man a: equal part, from beneath his arm that she might rest secure in th protection ot ir.s ??trc . n: . > . . region ol h.s Iiljt. ih.it .si.. rrvgh . share hit oys and di el his rt .t . on a level with his head that sh might be co-equally yoked and ste] side by side with him in the earnes discharge of life's duties. "Like warp and wool, all destinie are woven fast. Linked in sympathy, like the keyo an organ vast; Pluck but one thread land the wel ye mar." Where the tasks of man begin and woman's usefulness ends then is no iron clad limitation. Creativi wisdom in recognition of her phys ical weakness endowed woman witl intuitive intelligence more keenl; perceptive than man, that she migh balance the cold logic of his steri reasoning and filled her heart witl an enduring love which eternallj burns on the altar fires of her sa cred affections overflowing the sou of man with the wealth of its con secrated and heaven born sweetness thus welding the chain of lasting bondage and forging the "silvei link, the silken tie." Which heart to heart and mind tc mind, In body and in soul doth bind. Woman is the natural heaven or dained guardian of this higher anc better life of humanity and man be ing an animal somewhat lower thar the angels is woman's pupil in this life of love. God made her his teacher and the "hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." Being then, queens of the hearth-stone in palace or in hovel, no need for mar to fear even temporary usurpatior of his inferior place or envious repinings concerning his power. Tru< womanhood stands out like the lus ter of the mid-day sun and man lik< the moon borrows from her tht the light of his reflected power. True in this vast aggregation ol humanity there may be some sporadic growth of unworthy womanhood mistakenly opining degenerate manhood, but it is the effect X3@gtl ZEZstStte.
