WOMAN'S EIGHTS.
Tit woman's right to be caressed When lore is in the spring, And when affeotion's harost comet, - Her right it is to bring The garnered fruits of happiness To cheer man's dreary way, To smooth his rougher nature, And refine bis coarsexfcclay.
•Tit woman's right to wean us from Our selfishness and greed, A counsellor in trouble and A faithful friend in need. 'Tit woman's right to lead us from The foot of Mammon's throne, And take us to a nobler shrine Where purer joys are known.
'Tia woman's right to lean on man In torrow and distms, , ; «. For he was made to eoarfort her, And the was made to blew; , Her bulwark against danger, be She daughter, titter, wife, Or mother, he ■honld guard her well— Aye, eyen with his life.
