So let the toiler ev- erywhere be respected. The needle has slain more than the sword. When the some thought that invention would sewing-machine was invented alleviate woman’s toil and put an end to the despotism of the needle. But nO; While the sewing machine has been a great blessing to well-to-do families in many cases, it has added to the stab of the needle the crush of the whee!, and multitudes of women, notwithstanding the reintorcement of the sewing-machine, can only make, work hard as they will, be- tween $2 and $3 per week. The greatest blessing that could have happened to our first parents was being turned out of Eden after they had done wrong. Adam and Eve in their perfect state might have got along without work or only such slight employment as a pertect gar— den with no weeds in it demanded. But as soon as they had sinned the best thing for them was to be turned out where they would have to work. We know what a withering thing it is for a man to have nothing to do. Old Ashbel Green at fourscore years when asked way he kept on working said, “I do so to keep out of mis- chiet.”” We see that a man who has alarge amount of money to. start with has no chance. Of tne thous- and prosperous and honorable men that you know, nine hundred and ninety-nine had to work vigorously at the beginning. But Iam now to tell you that industry is just as im- portant for a woman’s satety and happiness. The unhappy women in our communities to-day most are those who have no to call them up once having risen and engagement nthe morning ; who, breakfasted, lounge through the dull forenoon im slippers down atthe heel, and with dishevelled hair, reading Uudia’s last nove nd who, having « through a wretched forenoon taken their afternoon sleep, : agged and thav- ing passed an hour anda halt at their toilet, pick up their card-case, and go out to make th who pass thei calls; and eyenings waiting tor somebody to come in and break the monotony.

There are womentoiling in our cities for $2 and $3 per week who were the daughters of merchant princes. These suffering ones would now be glad to have the crumbs that teil from their father’s table.
