Qoo fmiportant point, which I do not soo alluded to bas, ifi my ecetimation, quite as much to do with tho question why women are not more fascinated with the eubject of domestic economy than any other. 1t i o familiar principte of political scozomy that tho laborer should bo secured in tho freo onjoyment and disposal of the fruits of Dy la- VYo, if you would bave an indusirivus, frugal, and prosperotis community, “1f," say the cl~ amentary writers, ‘*what o mon produces by his industry might be taken from him by others, there would bo no inducement for him to labor lor nuythiog boyond a bare subsistence, It the right of property should cesso to be protected, men would censo to labor, and industrious and ordorly citi- zeus would goon become ludolent and vicious, 1In adespotie government the people are usnally poor and indolent, bocanse the sovereign ruler haw tha power to dispose of their properts. “Ihore is littlo encouragement to ba industrious, ainco what 8 gained by labor in lisblo to be tagken from ita owner at tho plessurg of the mouarch,” 1 might quote much mora totho esme purport, Now, Mr, Editor, thore is a groat \ of hu- mau uaturs in vomen, gushera and sontimental- 1ty o che contrary notwilbstandwg. Married women, a4 8 cluss, Bover havo boen protected in their zight to the fruits of their labor, and aro not now #0_ protected, althongh their condition n this respoct is doubtiess much better than cvor Lefore. At common law, all & woman's personal property and tho use of her rea! estato vested 1 ber husband at marnage, aud hor eamings and other acquisitions after warriage becsme huis 1hmluul{. and sho bud no contral whatever over thom. ld 1% at ull strange that whon she saw tho frutt of hor industry avd ecomomy appropristad and squandered, as she not anfrequently did, by a disnipated, ahiftless, or reckluss busband, whe ceasoit $0 tabor and oconomize 7 Conld any oth. o reault bo Auticipated? 1t seems to m that 1t ill becotues twen to complain of the indolence sud oxtravagsuce of wowon when they have themsolves placad them Iu s position whioh, sccording to their own well.xnown and sottled principlos of political sconomy, could not fail to develop those qualities. From time im- mumorial men havo held the purse-strings, give ing wotan only her board and clothes, und tben vamplaimed bittorly that sho was nob moze eco- mumc;ll Would they be any more to in ber laco B ¥ Itis true that the common law regulations concerning woman's proporiy rights are greatly moditicd, 80 that now, o wany Btates, ahip holds property coming 8o her by descent, devlao, vc L, (o her owu rght ; bus in very few Sta o manied woman ortitled to Ler own cal ings. and thivk in nouo is she so entitled whore her lsbor is performed Iu the wervice of her husband. Whether this arraugomont, by which the husband resps tho benofite and coutrols the fruits of tho wife's industry and economv, is just or unjust, wise or vuwise, it is awply sutlicicut to account for all tho improvidence snd extravaganco aileged against women.

T the Edstor of The Chizaga Trivunc : Cnicauo, Sept. 20.—So thoy are, 6o stabborn, that they cannot bo suppressed. Su stubborn that, tie thom down with the strongest cable, pilo rubbish upon them until tho clouds kiss the pinnacle, heap pearls and diamonds abovo thom antil their rndiance Apans the sky, and yot they will bubble up through gems or flith, and fling their beaaty or deformity lo tho world. Facts are like corks. Thoy can bo held beneath tlio tide, but the cosseloss away of tho great Liue man ocesn will eventually snap the fastenings, and the imprisoucd waifs will riso to the surface, Thero are Luman beings among us who succeed in getting their facta below the surface,—somo hield thoro by the coarsest of twine, othors do- tained by bands of glittering gold. The dim- oyed corals msy gazo up from thoir blossoming forest aisles and wonder what haa darkened their ehadowy abode, or the water-nymphs may sport sud gambol with the shining bsuds that ntays that flight, and vet thove will momo day come o jostle or surgo that wili loose tho fasten- enings, and tho unwicldy objecta will ehoot up to the unwelcotns light. Yes, some day, for lifo i nevor ended. But this is not at all what I intended to writo when [ gat down; and yet it Is facts 1 wish to deal with—stern and unyielding though thoy are. Thero nroa greal wmany reasons why young mou wud tuaideun do tot marry, One great res. don with girls is, becauro tho wan on whom their affoctions ara_placed doos not vk them:, and 8o~ cioty holds them powerless in thin rospoct. As 30 mauy of your talented, corrospondetits bave anld, the education of girls i sadly neglected, Not ths frivolous part of it, I do not meau, bat the genuine, wholesomo, practical part in ontiro. ly neglected, No wonder young men with small incomes are afraid to marry. A wife who cay do nathing but play the piano, dauce, dress richty, aud look pretty, is certainly not a very plensant tncumbratce 0 unticipate. 1€'a premium on osnipa was once offerod, men might cast about lindly and yet draw a prize. There are scarcely any blanks in that lottery. Would to Heaven thero woro more !
