The RIGHTS OF WoMAN.-Some ladies have
distinguished themselves by declaimng against
the oppression OF woman, which they say exists
in our christian land. They say women are kept
in condition of inferiority to men, and that of
right they ought to be equal. We have been
thinking the matter over, and have come to the
conclusion that the wrong is quite the other way;
and that if rights ought to be divided half and half,
we should be for new division-not on the
ground upon which Miss Grimke goes, that men
are not women, or permitted to engage in wo-
mems occupations, but because, when the simple
question of superiority is at issue, the men always
have to give up. If ladies and gentlemen meet
on the side walk, who has to turn out? If
there are not seats enough for all the company,
who has to stand up? When there is danger to
face, who must 60 forward? If there is curiosity
to crafty, who goes behind! If there is too
much company for the first table, who eats at
the second? Who has always the right hand and
the most respectable position? We could men,
ton hundred other cases, in which, on the sim
pie question of right, every thing is yielded to
the women. But there are many cases in which
the condition of men is still worse For instance,
IT on any public occasion, pew at church, or
seat any where, be occupied by men ever so re-
spectacle or aged, smerky little beauty trips
along and presents herself at the top of the seat,
and they must all jump up and clear out as if they
had been shot. Especially ought it to be noticed,
that when matrimonial negotiations are to be
made the whole burden Of performing the delicate
and often very embarrassing part Of making pro-
posals, is thrown upon the men, while the wo-
men sit and say no, no, no, as long as they like
and never say yes until they have a mind to.
