For the Knquircr-8un.
Columbus, Ga., July 16.—When the
Enquirer-Sun undertook to show that
vocations for girls should tie chosen and
steadily pursued, it undertook a great
work. It has been too much the habit in
avory prosperous family to consider it n
disgrace for the son to bo idle or for the
daughter to work. No sensible person
will for a moment question that it is only
because she is a girl, because she is the
weaker, because she may
MARRY AND HAVE OTHER CARES,
because it is the custom. Were reasons for
her working to be sought they would be
more readily found. Let her work be-
oause, being a girl, she needs every means
of Belf-protection; because, if she be weak
er, she needs the greater skill; because, if
she be self-supporting, no financial failure
of father or husband ran leave her hel|>-
less; because, if she marry, she will find
*11 knowledge and exj>criencc so gained
of value to her; because, if she become a
mother, her skill may be the only barrier
between her child and want; because she
will be better fitted to train her child and
to command his respect; because the great j
benefactors of the race, those whom all |
men unite to honor, have been workers; !
because it is wrong to bury a talent. More- 1
over, the woman who works from the love
of work and because it is right helps the
woman who works for bread. The duty
of the woman who is rich to the woman
who is poor is not discharged in the giving
of alms. She can, if she will, make work
.is popular for women as it is for men. The
time is almost within the memory of per
sons yet living when authorship was held
lo he highly improper for women.“Now,
the social leader who secures the presence
of Louisa Aleott or Charles Egbert Crad-
dock at her dinner is happy. Only let the
women whose time is not fully occupied in j
their homes have a regular vocation in ad
dition, anil they will at once relieve labor
of its odium. It need bo nothing which *
will take them outside of their homes, if!
that be objectionable. The artist, the dc- j
signer, the writer, the copyist, the analyt
ical chemist, and many another can work j
as well at home as elsewhere. No woman
need stand aghast at the suggestion of en- !
tiering u on a remunerative occupation.
She will reap more good from it than :
can be reckoned in dollars and cents. If
she be not in want of the proceeds, there
are always colleges, libraries, art galleries, I
hospitals, asylums, which are crippled for I
lack of funds. And there is a never-ending
work which
BBUKMJ NO RETURN IN SILVER OR OOI.D, '
but is of far more inestimable value to
mankind. The times cry out for scholars
who will study for the love of learning,
who will create in their neighborhood an
atmosphere in which low literature must
die, and will develop in others a love of
the grand and the beautiful in letters; for
scientists, who will follow nature into her
inmost laboratories and grasp her secrets
for the alleviation of Buffering and the
S regress of men; for large brained pld-
mthropists, who will turn the light of
science and philosophy upon the unsolved
problems ot labor, charities and reform.
Whoever hopes to do any good in this
wvu-ld must look up and reach up. No
penetration has foreseen the time when
there will no longer he a necessity for un
remitting manual labor. The advance
must be in its methods and in the condi
tions under which it is done. And between
the worker who prepares the daily food
and the worker who opens to her larger
opportunities will arise a better under
standing and a bond of
SYMPATHY AND TRUST.
There is a normal and rational sphere
for woman, it , too. must he ascertained
through thought. The women who are
remembered with gratitude and honor
have not lived unto themselves. Tho model
women of Hr brew history were workers.
The noblest women of Givei ;n story plied
the shuttle and washed the lincii. The
queens and noble ladies of the midillelages
spun and. wove day af;crday, albeit they
had many serfs who could have heeii
taught to do it for them. The woolen uf a
inter day who have earned a noble fame
are not those who have devoted their lives
to society. Tin a why should women hesi
tate to train their dauglit is to usefulness
anil independence, and to lift the curse
from labor by working themselves and
so smoothing the way for the poor who
art oppressed and the rich who are afraid?
Do they value the comment of Mrs. (.iruti
dy above the approval of the wise? As in
matters of taste they acquiesce in the ver
dict of the best artists, so they will have
ultimately to acquiesce in the opinion of
tile deepest thinkers, the Spencers and the
Mills, and Welcome the advent of
A NEW PHASE OH LIFE
for womo . The signs of the limes point
toward in extinction of old prejudices
and a revision of former customs. The
home shall he inviolate. The child shall
have its mother’s first care. Hut that will
not prevent her from fulfilling her duties
as a woman and a citizen. The most do
mestic woman, the mother of a large fam
ily, tile invalid whose view of the world is
that from the window of her room, can
use her intiuenee and say a word on the
side of liberal sentiment.' The more wo
manly her heart, the farther \, ill tier sym
pathies reav h out to women.
'I o do one's duty to other women, there
must ;he a pel-feel understanding of -if.
There must he strong convictions, a pur
pose and a will. 1 in not allow yourself
to lie blown hither and thither over tin
sea of life by every breath of circum
stance. Mark (ait your course and follow
it fearlessly. No woman, no number of
women can thwart the law of the t’reator.
Your word, your hand, may spetd the
coining ot truth and right; voitr shirking
u- ynur opposition cannot prevent their
final establishment.
“floil
vrning. tlirre was .1 timo w hen the pub
•chools were closed against girls. Am
for tin colleges, it was the rankest
rosy to mention them in the same Ben-
ace with the word woman. It is hardly
.cessary to say that what wasj true in
,ese respects of the Huh of the universe
is no less true of the remaining |>ortinn
the world.
it is less than fifty years ago that Lucy
ircom thought she was quite brave in-
• •ed to write, In her beautiful "Idyl of
York
t is my firm belief that the Alphabet
as meant as much f>r woman's use as man’s,
levotinu to it no more injures her
than sacrifice at stove and kitchen shrines,
>r bowing down before the Deity
enthroned in ruffles, plumes anil furbelows,
teat dress is good and so is housewifery,
'ut there i" something in the spelling book
More valuable than either."
I think Oherlin was the first college to
open its doors to women, and one of the
first woman graduates was that remarka
ble woman Lucy Stone. Nothing llm-
preuses me so much In her life as the story
of how she obtained her education. She
did not sec why she should not have a col
lege education as well as her brother. So
she borrowed the money and went to
Oherlin, where with great energy, econo
my, self-denial and tireless application,
she graduated with high honors. In the
years that have elapsed since that day
great changes have been wrought in the
condition of women, and Lucy Stone has
the honor of having been one of the chief
instrumentalities in bringing these
changes about. Now girls not only attend
tlie public schools, but three-fourths of all
the high school graduates are girls.
ALL THE COLLEGES ARE OPEN
to them, and yearly dozens of them are
graduating with honors as high and, in I
some cases, exceeding those of male grad- j
nates, three-fourths of the honors in the 1
recent examinations in the country having !
been carried off by the girls. Great col
leges have been established for girls. Wei- 1
lesley college, with its recent magnificent
endowment in the way of a library, is pre- I
sided over by a young woman not yet 30,
herself a graduate and a woman of marvel
ous executive ability. Poor Vassal- has |
gone scratching around for the past year
or so in searcli of a Baptist preaehi rof the
right caliber for president, when there
were a dozen women who should have had
preference. Hut Vassal - has its Professor
Maria Mitchell, and tlint is glory enough.
It’s Maria Mitchell, that magnificent wo
man vvlio has risen from a poor and hum
ble farmer’s daughter to share with Miss
Hersehcll the honor of being one of the I
two great iviinn 11 astronomers known to
the world! .Now, I cannot deny, and I I
would not it’ I could, that with these ad- !
di d privileges there come to woman added
dirties and responsibilities. The fulfilling
of duties, the hearing of responsibilities
are the best things in life. Without them
where now is ofttimes weariness would
then be madness and despair.
THE FULFILLING OF DUTIES,
the bearing of responsibilities give to the
character strength, force, uprightness and
beauty. Is not this true? Contrast- the
women of Americu with the women of In
dia, where the woman who would leurn to
read and write is considered unsexed, and
is looked upon as a monster of depravity.
What makes the women of India the
weak, worthless, irresponsible creatures
they are? What keeps India (in the noon
tide of civilization everywhere) the heath
enish country it is? There can be but one
answer: Those ignorant women, those
fettered women, prisoned in the harem,
looking out from behind their veils upon
tlie busy tide of life that ebbs ceaselessly
by. Not in it, nor sourooly of it are they.
But the morning (lush of their day of free
dom is at hand. At this moment all New
England, all the world as well, is listen
ing to the voices of two women from In
dia, who have been in this country edu
cating themselves. They are women of
high rank and are returning to India to
begin the work of educating their dusky-
skinned sisters. Is it too much to suppose
that they will be met with stones and in
sults? Not likely. But they bent- in their
hearts the consciousness Unit has.sustained
them through months of such effort to
educate tItem selves os no American woman
would find it necessary to put forth. This
is tin consciousness that they are carrying
to their sisters, that which will lift them
up from degraded and irresponsible crea
tures to beings conscious of duties and re
sponsibilities, and able to meet them. Up
right and strong, not groveling and weak;
enlightened and armed, not ignorant and
defenseless.
Tin-heritage of tile sweet girl graduate
of to-day is a strong and prudent, a wise
and earnest womanhood. May such la
the heritage sin- shall leave to the world.

Sparta, iia.. Sept. 22. 18A5. To the Constitu
in, Atlanta Were I to practice deception in a
oa< like this. I would think that my tieart had
locomee scared beyond recognition.
To la- guilty of hearing false testimony, thereby
niperllinc the lives of my fellow-men, would
•dace me beneath the dignity of a gentleman.
The filets which I disclose are endorsed and
'.'nuched for by the community in which 1 live,
and I trust they may exert the influence In
tended.
For twenty long years I have Buffered untold
tortures from a terrible pain and weakness in the
small of my back, which resisted all modes and
manner of treatment.
For n long time the horrifying pangs of an eat
ing cancer of my lower lip has added to my mis
ery and suffering. This encroaching, burning
and painful sore on my lip was pronounced Epi
thelial Cancer try the prominent physicians in
his section, which stubbornly resisted the beat
medical talent. About eighteen months ago a
cutting, piercing pain located in my breast, which
could not in- allayed by tlie ordinary modes ot
treatment.
These sufferings of misery and prostration l>o
came so great that, on the 18th of last July, a
leading physician suid that I could not live long
er than four days, and I had about given up in
despair. Tlie burning and excruciating ravages
of the cancer, the painful condition of my back
and breast and the rapid prostration of my
whole system combined to make me a mere
wreck of former manhood
While thus seemingly suspended on a thread
between life and death. I commenced the use 1 -1
II. B. B., the grandest blood medicine to me ami
my household, over used.
The effect was wonderful it was magical, 'rite
excruciating pains which had tormented me by
day and by night for twenty years were soon
held in abeyance, and peace and comfort were
restored to u suffering mail, tlie cancer com
menced healing, strength was imparted to my
feeble frame, and when eight bottles had been
used I was one of the happiest of men, and felt
about ns wet! as I ever did.
At! pain had vanished, tlie cancer on my lip
healed, and I was pronounced cured. To tlio.se
who are afflicted, and need a blood remedy, I
urge Hie use of B. It. it. as a wonderfully effective,
speedy and cheap blood purifier.

Her anxious father called in four doctors'

her pious fellow citizens stopped the i
