His remarks upon the mis- chief I have inflicted upon my sex I pass by for the same reason—his entire ignorance of the matter—bnt will say in passing that such whdle- sale generalizations are unsafe and unjust, but evidently suit the quality of his mind. His declaration that women are not citizens, that the laws do not recognize us, and that nature never intended us to be, is of rather more importance, and I can only say so much the worse for both laws and nature: both are capable of being modified and improved. Both, in the early stages of the world’s history, were somewhat crude affairs, and are still in a con- jon of sublimation.’ Women are sufficiently zens to appear in our court rooms as crit nals, responsible before the law, and as wit- nesses whose testimony may acquit or condemn.

He was so much affected by the news that he at once wrote to Mr. Clem- | ens to ascertain if it was true. The reply he re- ceived is printed in the Adelaide Observer of Oc- tober 15, and is as follows. “During the present year I have received letters from three gentlemen in Australia who had in past times known people who had known me “in Australia;” but I have never been in any part of Australia in my life. By these letters it appears that the persons who knew me there knew me intimately—not for a day, but for weeks, and even months. And apparently I was not confined to one place,but was scattered all around over the country. | Also, apparently, I was very respectable; at least 1 suppose so, from the character of the company I seem to have kept—government officials, ladies of good position, editors of newspapers, &c. It is very plain, then, that some one has been in Australia who did me the honor to personate me and call himself by my name. Now, if this man paid his debts and conducted himeelf in am orderly and respectable way I suppose I have no very great cause of complaint against him; and yet I am not able to believe that a man can falsely assume another man’s name and at the same time be in other respects a decent and worthy person. I suspect that, specious as this stranger seems to have been, he was at bottom arascai, and a pretty shabby sort of rascal at that. That is all I wished to say about the matter, There are signs that I have an audience among the people of Australia. I want their good opinion; therefore I thought I would speak up, and say that if that adventure? was guilty of any misconduct there I hope the resulting obloquy will be reserved for him, and not leveled at me, since I am not *~ blame.

NURSES SHOULD BE WELL PAID. It is very difficult to properly estimate the re- ward due nurses for conscientious and well per- formed duties. There are times when dollars and cents will not compensate for their services. As they have to undergo considerable training to become competent, submit to the excessive surveillance that isin too many houses and in- stitutions imposed upon them, and perform many Gisazreeable duties in plying their voca- tion, they should be treated with the proper consideration and beremunerated liberally. First j of they must be made to feel contented, and while we should neyer permit them to consider themselves indispensable, whatever be their ualities, gtili we ought to treat them with con- dence and respect, being on our guard lest we be too easy at first and afterwards too strict. Time should be allowed for rest and recreation, otherwise the monetony of the life would be-. come oppressive and: tend to discouragement, and the duties would be no longer satisfactorily wen lefinite rule asregards sal should be in- sisted ‘upon, unless the Patient unable to pay. While nursing is a «livelihood, yet it isof too noble a character tos’be undertaken solely from mercenary motives. Tt is assured to those who discharge with fadity thelr whole duty, espe- cially in time of wir’ and pestilence, that the highest service Sher ate enabled to render to others will bring the richest reward to them- selves; that in olhers they wiil please God. a LTER BEpFoRD, M.
