PHILOSOPHY OF "AUNT ANNIE" She Says 'I hat Woman, ir Her Strenuous Efforts to Awaken the World by the Hagic of Her Bio queoce on Various and Sundry Public Questions, is Not Viewing Her Position as Others See It-- Women Not Destined to be Public Speakers. "t)h, wad some power the j if tie gie as Co See ourselves aa Utters see us ! It wad frae maav a blunder free as And foolish notion.' Long years ago when 1 fiist made the acquaintance of Boo Barns, Longfellow, Tennyson and others, they tniid no lasting impression up i n my child mind. The "I'mlin of Lift" and the moralising of said poem failed to appeal to ny, for ife wi8 anything: else than an "emp'v dreni' to me at that time, and I failed to catch the exquisite pathos i f Enoch Arrtert, and with the ei ception of Byron and Moore the poetry of the age had no tffct upon m. But these words of the plow. ui n pt took hold upon ni", as uo o' hers could have done. It is a strange tmog that we can m t rightly judge ourselves;, we seem to have a special pair of glaaiee wheu we gz upon our own self, and consequently we seem all right, uud when we smile the self-satisfied smile, take i ff- our glasses, aud ad just the piercing leuse, and turn a tull broadside upon dear neighbor ud friend, then it wasr I suppose, that Kobtrt Burns, the Scotch poet, ottered the now world-famous lines, od invoked the powers that V, either terrestrial or celestial (I don't tbinK Bob was particular wbicbto h Ip bim out in the matter; so that we could only "see ourselves as- oth ers see us." I have been meditating a good Ural of lace, this is such pretty fall weather, but I had betti-r sa autumn Heather, for I havesen verv tew leaves fall as yet. As 1 face the North and look at ihe trees fast changing th-ir green ditss for more sombre hue (this is the poetic way of peakio$)i and bear the trains running on the great main line of railroad, aud thiuk of ail the trtfttc goiug on in the wurlil, tie g ing and coming, . every oi.e i gy working out his own dectiny aouiei lines a great destiny, sometimes Isoinll, but juist as gre.it to the one j as the oitier. I Well, us the sun brings out all the be. uties of the trees,, and as I they ail spurkle aud tltsh their col. (is iu I tie autumn sunshine, 1 ,ou jiiirwhy we have no power to see j i. u r lives, our actions, our charac . u is aud reputations, as we do the ! autumn foliage. I believe after due consideration and careful meditatiuu J tit eventide v hen all is serene ( r i ought to b-) that woman has bus powtr of seeing hers'-if as she really id thai) the s '-called stronger sex. . My idea f r this deiioietic. I ac c,.ui.t for in this way : la the fiist flaoe, most all women are vai;, hi me upon their personal attractions ' (iHL-h, by the way, is most highly ! va!t4e ), ouie npon thfir superior ! 'iiindisjineupou one thing and some ; another, but all vum-gl mous or ' 6iuu-tbing given or acquired. ' Way b tck yonder iu our grand ! mothers' time, women were not sup uosed to be able to lake care of themselves. They conld,. if educat jed to a certain extent, teacu school, aud thev would be paid for it about half what a man would get for the Si.uie grade of work, but the woman was satisfied with being able to thiuk she was- earning a support or taking care of herself uaul such a time as she could better her condi tion by taking tbe poaitieo of house, keeper for some man,, and where Bhe really, in a great many eases, would find a larger scope of action at least. But times- have changed. Wo man is forging to the front, ani tbey are not compelled to accept the position of housekeeper unless they are vt ry anxious.. The doors of business swing very uearly wide open to women now. The typewriter is in every office and the business man just sits aud talks and the womea do tbe work. At all the great conventions, politi cal meetings, and so op, there she sits, pen in band, taking down the great and weighty words of tbe "lords of creation," but she gets a good price for this sort of work, be cause, I suppose, it is being able to take down and preserve to future sues tbe thoughts of great men. Of course tbey take down some thoughts and matters Dtrtainine to neat fe male moves, but I think they get most money for taking down tbe great thoughts of men, It is getting to be quite the thing now for women to lecture. Tbey lecture on temperaaee, woman's rights, and a great many other sub jects ; and right bars eomes in the application of my text: "Or, Wad some power tbe gif tie gie us," to see ourselves as others see as," when we stand up and think we are making a lecture. It has keen said frora aa earlier dzis 1 tiers were io thiusrs a woman could not do : oue of tnese was- to throw a stone and hit anything, and the other feat was to sharpen a lead peuciF. I have myself, tried then two sei-av iogly easy feats, bwt failed ignobly. But I say in the blaze and glitter of the twentieth century tbac a wo man cannot make mock' of a lecture, 1 t it be on tempenmce (a good tuing)air ships, education, Jr that inexhaustible subject,, woman's rights. 1 have been told that swne noble speeches were made in the 50 on tne s abject of more freedcnyetc, by northern women. I have also been told they were really gifted' m this sort of thmg; but be that as it im, we must hover around the text little closer. I have beard sewial female lecturers in my time, and I was in uo way envious of their achievements nloug this hue, A pretty womaxi l iok preny a y where fur that uiaSter, aud when she imes before a large audience and begins to humor hes tongue, for of all things on earth taut tbe tongue of a female loves bee, it is to give it a free lein. The words uomeuod uo mistake about that, long words, haid wi rds, low worae bigu words, all kiuds or words,, words tbac would be dead shut, if foraaed iuto sen tences, convey in either potDt or ar gument. v It is a peculiarity of tbe sex to want to appear 'earned, or l be be fore the fublic, audit has-not al wavs been thus. Tim wa, and not so long ago either,, wheu a was not thought to be lady-like to be able to dc battle with a mouse. Louu 6crem , covuisions- ana perfect quh-twas all that was- expected of ibertnued lady of the long ago. when assailed by a mouje. Modesty wus their m ist effective weapon. Tbey were to be protected from all harm, aud to be seeu looking with undaunted mien into the twnikhug eyes of a mouse, would have been I eiMrse iu the extreme, and no matter to be made a joke of. Today in ibis age of new things,! new kleaa, uew diseases, new towua, schools, new wouienn is de ferent. Tbe helpless.- ci eat are of the nin-t-euth century called a Due lady is ou tne decline. Ibey can nne in public aud give their candid upon all matters pertaining t cbuich work, and can even wear a small head dress an4 be exiled a deaconess. They eu go utt-T. and make a tour of tbe coun ry Im turitii upon tbe OiCeient reforms of the Vme. 'I bey are no longer timid aud ready to ruu at sight of an tiuaruied mouse. A m tu with all his powers of ar gametit does not frighten her any uiore thau tbe humbler animal ; she is not to be daunted. She walk.i out, looks upon the audience with eyes of puy, and gives us to understand that since uo .Moses is i Hiued up to take tbe lead, sue. will place heist If to tne frou She tackles the subject iu baud, alays some misty, pale moon iig nt itilatt that they know exactly how to laudle, and that no oue else does. S.e givts us to understand thai l'aul was in his dititge when he commanded women ta keep quiet and let tne men do. tbe taking, t'b's would be a little hanl for 3 uie of them, for I notice that mast of the women who lecture huve no uiaa to speak for them. Some pos sibly do, but they speau for both. W ith ull due respect to women wb'i would briug about reforms, aud who are so entnusiustic that tbey e n face an audieuce, and with per fect coutrol of nerves tad voice just tell the me a of the country whst they ought to do, L would say work more, talk less. Florence Nightingale was called the -'angel of tbe Crimea," aud was honored throughout the civilized werld, but did anyone ever hear ber make a lecturer1 she worked in a different' way. Did anyone ever hear of Grace Darling lecturing upon the subject. of "Life Saving Stations?" Wus Bosa Bouheur ever caught descanting npon tbe form and beauty of tbe animal cre ation, or did Madam Oe Stael ever give her views, or use her wit upon the platform? No, these women used their power in other ways, and did Dot stand and talk about it, just went and diu it ? . Well, since I've been thinking over these things, the shadows have lengthened, evening is coming on, and while 1 would uot and could not .make a speech in public (or iu pri vate) or lecture, 1 of course do things equally as objectionable, and I here beg to be excused, and -as sure all that I shall never ask to bi excused for trying to make a lec ture, and to those fair ones who sre able to lecture and do lecture I will say with Burns : "Ob, wad some power the gif tie gie ns To ses ourselves as others tee us, It wad frae many a blander for us And foolish notion." . .
