Let Girls Work Because it is Wrong t. Bury a Talent. A Normal ami national Nplirrc* for tVonirn — (til Itplatr Kd licit Inn for Wompn a Modem Imtltn (i.m The Hrnt (ollnro to Open it^ Moor*—Th- KlrritatM* of tho Snoot <• Ir 1 («rnlual<*. 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. Mary Durham.

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.
