Genesis i-,27.... ; . ;1 '-";,: . ,' In other words, God, who can make no mis-, take, made man and woman for- a specific work,and to move in particular spheres maa to be regnant in his realm ; woman to be domi nant in hers. The boundary line between Italy and Switzerland, between- England and Scotland, is not more thoroughly blacked than this distinction" between the: 'empire masculine and the empire feminine. So en tirely dissimilar are the fields to which God : called them, that you can no. more compare them than you' can Oxygen and hydrogen, water and grass, trees and start. All this talk about the superiority of one sex to the other sex is an everlasting waste of Ink and speech. ? A. jeweler, may have a scale so delicate that he can weigh the dust of dia -inonds; -but -where are the scales so .delicate; that he can weigh in them ? affection 'against' affection," ' aantiment "against sentiment, thought against thought, soul against, soul, a man's world" against a woman's World?

Tou come on with your stereotyped remark about woman's superiority to man in the item of affection; but 1 ask you where was there more capacity to love than in John the Disciple, and Robert McCheyne, the Scotch man, and John Summerfield the Methodist, and Henry Martin the missionary? The heart of those men was so- large that after you had rolled into it. two hemispheres there was . room still left to ; marshal th hosts, of i heaven and'' set1 up the -throne of the eternal. Jehovah, ; ' I deny to man Che throne intellectual' , I deny to woman tha throne affectionaL ; No human phraseology will ever define the spheres while there is an intuition by which we know when a man is in his realm, and when a women is in her realm, and when either of them is out of it No bungling legislature ought -to-attempt to make a definition, or to say : "This is the line and that is the line.5? j My theory ia that ii a woman wants : to vote she Ought to vote, and; that if a man Wants to embroider and keep house, he ought to be allowed to em broider and keep house. " There are masculine women and there are effeminate men." My theory is,, that you have no right to interfere with any one doing anything that is right eous. Albany aud Washington might as well decree by legislation how high a brown thrasher should fly, "or how deep a-trout should plunge, as- to try,, to seek out the height or the depth of woman's duty. The question of capacity, will settle finally, the wnoie question, tna wnoie suDjecc . vvnen a woman is prepared to preach, she will preach, and neither Conference nor Presbytery can hinder her. 'When a woman is prepared to move in highest commercial spheres, she will have great influence on the Exchange, and no boards of trade can hinder her..- I want woman to understand that heart and brain can overfly any barrier that politicians may set np, and that nothing can keep her back or kesp her down but the question of incapacity. There are women, I know, of most undesir able nature, who wander, up and down the countryhaving no homes of r their own, or forsaking their own homes talking about their rights; and we know very well that they themselves are fit neither to vote nor fit to keep house. Their mission seems to be to hu miliate the two sexes at the thought of what any one of us might become. No one would want to live under the laws that such women would enact, or to have cast upon society the children that such women would raise. But I shall show you this morning that the best rights that woman can own, she already has in her possession; that her position in this country at this time is not one of commisera- firai Kllf: nna : rf AnnimifntaftAni h grandeur and power ot her realm .have never yet been appreciated ; that she sits to-day on a throne so nigh, that all the thrones of earth piled on ' ; too of each . other , would not make for her a footstool ' ' Here : is the platform on which she stands. . Away down below it are the ballot-box and the Congress ional assemblage and tha Legislative hall. Woman always has voted and always will vote. Our great grandfathers thonsht thev were by their votes putting Washington into the presidential chair.

It was a Christian mother's hand drODOinsr the ballot when Lord Bacon wrote;, and Newton philosophized, and Alfred the Great gov erned, and J onathan reward thundered 01 -judgment to come. How many men there have been in high political station who would. to which their moral principle was put bad it not been for a wife's voice that encouraged them to do right, and a wife's oraver that sounded louder than the clamor of partisan- snipi ,. wny, my irienos, the right or sutterr age, 'as we men exercise it, seems to be a feeble thing.
