THE GOSPEL OF INHUMANITY.

“Commodore Cornelius K. Garrison’s wedding presents to
his’ daughter, vMrs. Day, included a completely furnished
house in St. Louis. (her husband’s home), ten acres of ground
a set of silver, and valuable laces.” ’ ‘ ‘

The extract above, selected. from numerous similar ones in
the Graphics list of “ Notes.” may impress some persons,
who are ready to receive it, with the fact, that full nine-tenths
of the “ Christian people,” are not humanized, either in feel-
ing or action. Talk of “ divine natures!” By what stage of
evolution, prated of by “ Pantarchians,” (evolution is well,
but their ‘understanding of it is not), shall we, as _a people,
discover the divinity of our natures before we arrive at the
essentially human, or, humane? “ Not human!” says one.
Not by any means may the race he called human. It has, in
reality, scarcely gone so far above selﬁshness and inhumanity
as to be named by that divine word human.

How the people hunt down the Tweeds, the Hares, and
the Burkes, and criminals of all classes, with avidity, when
the average murderer and thief is the result, only, of preced-
ing circumstances, working upon those particular men of
whom society is composed; who are, in fact, only producing
what the dominant social element has presented in the shape
of motives to the individual man. These special results,
are merely the product of the general, condition of society;
the individual offender only carries into feﬁect} the ‘uniform
working of the laws, the price of food, the rate of wages, and
the whole of our political economy, which controls every—
thing——there being the actual oifenders the producing causes.

Take off this incubus and what have We? The career of
vice is ended. ‘

Not new laws, but the spreading of principles founded upon
sentiments of love and justice, and humane dealing must be
substituted for Eaw, before the individual man shall cease
from producing crimes which, in fact, he has only embraced
as opportunities out of the chaos of elements over which he
hasino control.

If you want a bible ofhumanity, and cannot extract it (as
the world has so far failed to do) from the teaching of Christ,
go to Victor Hugo and follow J can Valjean. The naked
heart — hat man laid bare will cause your own to throb with
passion and pain. You belong to a tribe, a vast social mad-
house of insane creatures, in human form, who perpetuate
upon such men as Jean Valjean the miseries of his life,
where thoughts of murder, and theft, and suicide mingle
with his daily bread, and are as familiar to him as the make-
shifts for an existence! Oh no! Surely, he" cannot blame
you! Surely, neither birth nor stingy fare, nor pitiless cold
or storm, nor dearth of love, nor the general condition of
society, has ‘anything to do with his crimes! I ask you, how
many of you can bear the strain of ‘the external and internal

' semi-unconscious barbarisms of society that produce, in pro-

portion to the obliquity or directness with which they fall
upon the man, the individual felon?» How many men and
women can ‘bear the strain? We ask the reason formur—
ders, suicides; for the public calamities visited upon us by
theBoss Tweeds and ‘Jay Cookes of the country, and in-
stantly condemn the man without studying his antecedents.
There are social bearings that must be counted in, and there
must also be included the churches and pulpits, as defective
and incomplete as the men, or the man, by whom the public
has been visited——through a dexterous shuffle of the cards——
with mischievous and disastrous double-dealing and crime.
These very men, should-—say they—~_have showered ‘upon us
virtue and beauty, and have given us ﬁgs for thistles!
They should. were the forces uniform, which make it
possible for the individual to escape the accidents of, his
birth, and inequalities which are numerically too great

\

for him. How shall the individual rise above his associa-
tions and the actual pressure of vast social laws that will
crush him, if he does not crush them? On a fall of tempera-
ture a part of the population die off and swell the death-

lists; the other part who can reactgagainst it, may live on as

well as before. Those forces, or it may be plurality of inﬂu-
ences inoperation, do the fatal, work ;and the results are, in
fact. the product of causes so uniform that they may be dealt
with and rendered harmless were they dealt with energeti-
cally. But seldom are causes confronted, and a kind of make
believe is substituted, where the key-note of the trouble is
never struck! Who thinks of blaming anything but these men ‘I
Murders, suicides, money thieves and the whole catalogue of
vices, are, after all, nowhither. The “great law ” that is yet
to settlethe question of crime is still tobe found. It isgvain to
credit the statistics themselves to the balancing account, for
in spite of them, all around remains obstinately dark. At
best we only gather up a sort of miscellaneous history from
which descends to us the moralizings of a civilization Which,
with different laws, different opinions, different morals and
diiferent habits, would result in its being shown up as
spurious, fraudulent, false!

I will not pretend to give thelremedy, for the “ great law,”
which is not understood, viz. : love, is reaching its fulﬁlment
in spite of all the obstacles that cling to it, and I can only
help to rivet the attention, merely, to the work begun in the
conscience, more apparent in the last quarter of a century
than in any preceding one. ‘There is scarcely a mind now in
the world that is utterly insensible. There is a spirit abroad
in the world of conscientious dealing of man with man. The cry
has gone out for light, light! Eeople begin to study antecedents.
Something deeper, holier, more vital than the mere mush
of history, is getting a hearing in these days, and the “vital ”
things are being repeated again by a class as despised as the
poor ﬁsherman must have been in the days of Christ. The

practice of spiritual legerdemain is becominglegitimate. Men.

deduce from it the solid ground for a different set of proofs
from any we have ever had before, concerning another life.
The ideal is just emerging. Men, up to this recent day of
the development of Spiritualism, (so pre—eminent1y the re-
ligion of love), have scarcely believed a future possible in the
dead, ﬂat uncertainty that accumulated under the church in-
stead of disappearing. '

Up to this time we have had wrong-headed, michievous,
philanthropy, which has discouraged the people, and which
kept us barbarians with the pretence of justice. But in
something like proof dawning in Spiritualism, we can count
an important gain for mankind.‘ The general pulse is stirred
with a possible rejection of the ghoul element in society,
which consists solely of selﬁshness. Theology is sinking away
under it, and the faith is getting stronger inkthe new relations

which the individual may sustain to the whole human family.

It! presses upon him so determinedly, that he even pauses to
question whether Moody and Sankey had not better build a
cooking-range ﬁve hundred feet long, and send out baked
pork and beans to men with. coats buttoned over the thinnest
under garments, and women and children shivering for want
of food and ﬁre. Whether it would be a terrible kind of
christianity that would send out a thousand coats a day from
the hands of John VVam1amaker and Geo. Stuart, and turn the
“ depot ” into a dispensary for warm clothing . If John Wan-
namaker can furnish a hundred ushers from his “ christian
young men,” may he not make up the deﬁciency of good food
and clothes to a multitucle who throng outside, and cannot
afford to go for “ eternal life," with the christian’s bread
and potatoe law in such a weak and unsound condition?
These men mean, simply, in the boomerangs they are issuing
with such self-congratulation,3;to use them as an army uses
gunpowder; simply to put an end to the state of things. It
won’t do to let ﬂy a ﬂag of truce in all cases; and a shirt for
every man’s back wouldn’t do the work! Gunpowder is
surer, and the man won’t need clothes or bread if he “comes
to Jesus ” at the beckoning of Mr. Moody’s arm, which, like
his roll of oratory, never slackens. Onewould like to know,
however, how the " point ” is to be reached. , How man is to
reach the pinnacle where he shall become enlightened in the
substantial truths of the universe; where myths and dogmas,
and tenets so absurdly superﬁcial, shall melt away into thin
air! Where, indeed, the false will terminate and the true
begin. We have had a religion replete with the accum1a-
tion of luxurious intellects; so verbose -that the unsightly
and naked truth was smothered in the lap of this reﬁnement,

\

and only a hint or two! of the great bursting agony ‘of the
human soul could get admittance. It would be a, relief if we
could hear now and then an answer to such terrible quak-
ings of the soul with which deathbeds are visited. And I
may add, that when men ﬁnd relief for wars and tortures
that exist in abundance, both of the mind and body, which
can only be appeased by the checking of the great crime of
universal selﬁshness and barbarous greed of, man toward his
brother, shall we have a place ﬁt for the gospel to be preached
in, and men and women who can receive it. , ‘ ‘

THE CAUSES OF SOCIAL WRONGS AND JTHEIR.
REMEDY. ”

Onronn, NEW HAMPSHIRE, Dec. 1, 1875.

Artiﬁcial law, commerce, and rehl-gion are the causes of
the wrongs, sufferings, and crimes that have always pre-
vailed in civilizednations. Natural law, or the healing power
of nature, would regulate society as it does the human body.
Artiﬁcial law is a poison, which prevents the course of nature,
and is sure to disorder society. It turns morality upside
down, and keeps it so by force. It protects bad rich men in
Wr nging others, but is nobeneﬁt to honest men. The still-
ness of legal despotism is disorder. ‘

Artiﬁcial law creates commerce. Commerce makes rich and
powerful men. The rich make the class of suffering poor as
a natural consequence. Commerce and merchants cause
luxury and love of show, avarice, speculation, selﬁshness,
dishonesty, and crime; thencomes aristocracy and next
monarchy. ,Artiﬁcial law, commerce, and religion make
leading men. The leading men have corrupted society, and

\

‘ are the secondary cause of all the crimes that are committed.

They have corrupted the government and ruined the United
States. Every richyman, every man who lives in fashion-
able and showy style is a curse to his country. Commerce
was the cause of negro slavery. It is pretended that ‘com-
merce promotes peace, civilization and fraternity. The con-

trary is true. Cpmmerce was at.the bottomof the piratical

wars of England in India and China and others the world over.
Commercial avarice caused the great national crime com-
mitted by the United States against Japan in. forcing her to
open her ports. It will be the ruin of the Japanese. The
support of republican government is plainness and exemp-
tion from large estates. Education or school learning has no
power to sustain freedom. Learning makes no man better,
wiser, more freernor more just to the rights of others. In all
countries, the most virtuous, patriotic and respectable class,

» are the laboring poor, whether they have school learning or

not. Ignorance is not a cause of crime, nor is intemperance.
Aristocraoy is the immediate cause of crime, and aristocracy
itself is the greatest of all crimes. The tramps, as they are
called, who perambulate/the country, are a natural conse-
quence of aristocracy. — ,

Natural government would make property suﬁiciently
equal and ensure the prevalence of freedom and virtue. It
would give all an equal chance. The people would move

spontaneously and unite to do all necessary acts of restraint,

punishment, protection, justice, charity and utility. Men
who are bad by nature would have no use for their bad quali-
ties, and their good ones alone would be called into action.
The fact that men establish government “from a belief of its
necessity, proves it needless. If they were inclined to dis-
order and evil they would not make laws to prevent it. Even
the trees of the forest avoid injuring each other. They shoot
forth few or no branches that can interfere with neighbors.
Unprincipled menbelieve in the necessity of human govern—
ment. Destitute of moral restraint, they naturally think
that all mankind resemble themselves. Those who wrong
their fellow-men by lawful means, fear to trust themselves
without legal protection. I s
The chief duty of a statesman is to undo what has been
done. Wisdom builds up no system of artiﬁcial government.
It clears away the short~sighted and pernicious contrivances
of men, to give free course to the system of nature. 7 This is
true ‘f progress.” . -
Supposing that all. man~made laws in the United States
were abolished at once, disturbance and violence would take
place only where they wereineeded. In parts of the country
cursed with luxury, Emonopoly and rich men, society could
ha equalized and puriﬁed without violence. In neighbor-
hoods where the people were plain and none Very rich,
things would go on as they did before. If any undertook to
commit crimes they would soon be straightened. Society
would ferment and work itself clear like a barrel of new
cider. Habitual rum-drinkers and opium-takers experi-
ence great distress when they undertake to leave off the
habit. If. they persevere in their abstinence they come right
at last. Just so with law-drunken society. Within ten or
ﬁfteen years after thefreign of natural law commenced, every-
thing would be right. None would be very rich and none
€61-y poor. Every man and woman would have land enough
for a home and a support if they wanted it. Every debt
would be honestly paid. The people would all be friendly to
each other. Crime would be impossible under natural.gov—
ernment. Freedom for every one to do what he pleased
would be protection to all. This state of things would con-
tinue as long as man-made laws were kept out. From the
most ancient history down to the present time, artiﬁcial gov-
ernment has had its way in every so-called civilized nation,
and the only consequence has been wrongs, crimes, blood
and tears. It is high time to have natural government. As
to myself 1 don’t need a trial of it to convince me, because I
know now. Belief in the need of artiﬁcial law, like belief in
3, God, is not natural and rational, it is entirely a prejudice
of education. Those who are weak enough to have the belief
had better be in better business.‘ ELIPHALET KIMBALL.

 

DRAUGHTS OF INSPIRATION FROM AN INEX-
HAUSTIBLE FOUNTAIN.

COMPILED BY E. Ii‘. BOYD.

“Defects and injustice in existing statutes come to the
surface under the blaze of our new thought-light; and the
spirit of progress, swelling magnanimously in the heart of
philanthropy, speaks in trumpet tones these two words to
judges and legislatures, “ Repent! Reform!” What does
this supreme spirit demand? And for whom? or what class?
For theinsane (or sick) and for the criminal (or unsound) the
Spirit of Godspeaks : ‘ More justice and more sympathy; less
cold duty and less false charity.’ ” . ‘
“ Those who ‘ perform ’ charity from the dictates of ‘ duty ’
are under the law of re1igi011 and °iVi1il?Y. and thus are
neither just to the criminal nor kind to the insane. Sym-
pathy is compounded of healing love, mercy and benevolence ;

. /K

while false charity is a popular mixture containing equal
parts of impulsive pity, heartless duty and cold contempt.”
Very-much-learned medical gentlemenlaugh at theclaims,

‘almost miraculous, of healing mediums; and very learned (?)

ladies and gentlemen (usually the sycophantic dupes of minis-
ters and the free—paying patients of scientiﬁc physicians) join
in the laugh thus professionally taught them. But why are
not sudden cures as philosophical as sudden sickness? The
spiritual emotions (or shock) of either fear, joy or grief often
produces “ sudden illness’? in the physical organization.
Why may not a spiritual shock of magnetic motion and life
produce a sudden restoration of the equilibrium?

Affected Humility.—:-This may be cured by compelling the
patient to associate with birds of similar plumage, according
to the principle wimtlta simojlibus cueantwr. It is usually a
symptom of insincerity, and a form of stealthy self—assertion

Unsuspectcd, there is in almost every human mind a “weak
spot,” a crevice between the most perfect cerebral convolu-
tions, through which popular evils may make either ingress
or egress, rendering “immorality” and “insanity” and even
“imbecility” a possibility to everyiliving individual. And
yet, notwithstanding this overshadowing possibility, hover-
ing like a bird of evil in the atmosphere over every head,
there is but little forbearance: and charity exercised toward
the inobviously unfortunate.

The barbaric and uneliminated cruelty of mankind ex-
presses itself in penitential institutions, in poor-houses, in
jails and in the appointments of hospitals for the insane. The
infernal verdict is, “your miserable condition is, my dear
sir, entirely your own fault.”

The hell of theology is an imaginary red—hot lunaticjasylum
extended out to an everlasting time, the same being in these
days supplied with all modern improvements, furnace in the
cellar, gasoline apparatus, etc.

No same man ever commits any crime against the welfare
of his fellow-men. Insanity maybe manifested only in slight
faults of character. Lying, stealing, hypocracy, avarice are
only different names for different forms of insanity. So of
the great acts called capital crimes; the person is always
more insane before than after the act, just as lightning is
more dangerous before than after it has struck and destroyed.
But, strange inconsistency, our courts and lawyers regard a
murderer as inﬁnitely more dangerous to society after the
act than before. In fact, he is a thousand times less likely
to do mischief than before the explosion of his mind. Be-
cause, it is a truth that the commission of the crime was to
his overcharged mind precisely what the terrific descent of
the thunder bolt is to the pen t-up electricity in the cloud.

Philosophically speaking, if there is such a. thing as a spirit-
ual body, it must be something; if something, it must have
an existence and a deﬁnite position somewhere in space; if
in space, it must ;follow the laws {of objects which occupy
space, including time, and have a relative as well as an abso-
lute private consciousness. . ,

Persons who pride themselves on virtue.~—Paradoxicalitie
in human nature, like its comicalities, are continually teas-
ing and vexing persons who imagine themselves models of
consistency and dignity. But you will observe that really
true and really virtuous people have the least to say about
either their truthfullness or their integrity. Most persons
boast of possessing thatsin which they are consciously and
criminally deﬁcient.

Nature’s spirit is always old, always new, never the same,
always unchangable, never saves anything, yet forever p1-3..
serves and advances the human spirit. ‘

MADAM GRUNDY.
, BY L. E. BAILEY.

I once knew a woman, of manners genteel,

Who for the woes of humanity deeply did feel;
She was pretty and witty, both winning and gay,
Accomplishments many I’m sure you’ll say ;
And last, but not least, a tongue she could use
With the greatest of skill whenever she choose.

Nowgthis beautiful woman was very respectable,
And was also considered remarkable; ‘
‘She had read the full history and secrets of all,

The old and the young, the great and the small,
And besides had a mission on earth to perform, '
Was the reason, she said, for which she was born.

Well, I often have wondered, but never knew, how
She was everywhere present to make the ﬁrst bow;
You might travel the earth, or rise to the sky,

Yet still the glance of her meek—looking eye;

And sometimes I’Ve thought,’though it cannot be true,
_(A secret it is, so I’ll only tell you;)

This same noble woman/, and most worthy dame,

Has a child or two somewhere, related—by name.

Of her kindness in deeds I also will mention,

And allude to the genius she owned for invention.
‘ She never forgot the same story to tell,

Or, if so, a new one would do just as well;

She knew all the “locals ” before they were out,
And saw Mrs. Phillips go riding about,

And “knew how ’twould end, I told ye,” said she,
“ It never would happened if she’d heard to me.”

Now it chanced one day Madam Grundy espied
Some weeds that were growing, so over she hied

is To Mrs. Lone‘s garden on her “mission” intent

As, on errands of kindness she frequently went;
So, with her large heart, and with her long tongue,
She toiled and she talked till her labor was done.
Just then Mrs. Lone, coming home from her farm,
Held upward her hands with a cry of /alarm:

“ My dear Mrs. Gundy! 0, what have you done?
You have ruined my garden, destroyed every one
Of the beautiful ﬂowers I purchased of Vickj

If the variest urchin had done such a trick,

1’d ”——-— here Madam Grundy interrupted her speech
By hastily taking herself outof her reach. '

_ And homeward she sped with crestfallen air,

E And seated herself -in her own easy chair;
She thought how ungrateful people could be,
While she was so kind to everybody;
Then out of the window she happened to gaze,
And 0, what a sight ﬁlled her heart with amaze.
There were real weeds growing in her garden at home,
While she on mistaken duty did roam. I

MORAL .

If we would be honest, upright and tune,

The bright path of virtue strictly pursue,

If we would give knowledge and wisdom ‘a place,
And thus truly bless the good of our race,

We must spend all our time, labor and toil

To cultivate well our own mental soil; -

To keep clean at home our own business mind,
Nor seek in another imperfections to ﬁnd.

DUAL IN DIVIDUALITY.
EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES or A YOUNG LADY.

Among the passengers by the steamer for Liverpool yes-
terday, was a lady whose history is certainly one of the most
remarkable, if notjthe most incredible on record. It is thus
related: M

Some years since a ship carpenter, at Sunderland, England,
turned lecturer. His name was Anthony J. Oliver, and the
subject of his lectures was . mesmerism. He was a great
reader and an extraordinary mesmeric operator, and when
he made his ﬁrst appearance in public, his manifestations of
the odylic force astonished his audiences. His progress

through the towns of the North of England was one continued I

harvest of shekels. Old and young, of both sexes——doctors,
lawyers, clergymen and scientists went to scoﬂ" at, but were
spell—bound by his mesmeric power. Among others in New~
castle, Miss Jennie Robson was a profound admirer of Mr,
Oliver. So great was his influence over her, that by the
force of his will, he could, at the distance of a mile or over, in-
duce the mesmeric sleep and compel her to proceed to him.
This extraordinary fact was demonstrated in the presence of
a committee of scientiﬁc experts, when collusion was out of
the question. On one of these occasions she climbed a gar-
gen wall seven feet in height and fell headforemost to the
ground. She was taken up senseless, and medical attendance
was ummoned, but in vain. She lay for six weeks in a con-
dition bordering upon death. Just here it may be well
to digress for a moment. Mr. Oliver afterwards studied
medicine in the Newcastle College of Medicine. After the
war was ended in these United States, he, with a number of
his English friends, settled in Virginia. Every newspaper
reader remembers his tragic end. He betrayed an aristo-
cratic Vlrginian’s daughter, and her father shot Oliver in
cold blood. When Miss Robson recovered her consciousness
she was blind and deaf, and she continued so for ﬁve or six
weeks. The sense of hearing returned suddenly, but sight
returned more gradually, but in the end perfectly. The most
extraordinary feature of the case, however, was theifact that
she had lost all recollection of her former life. She did not

know a letter of the alphabet, and she could not play an '

air on the pianoforte. Her father and mother were strangers
to her. Her pet dog was angrily thrust away. She was igno~
rant of the use of knives and forks. She was simply a new
born infant, with this difference, that she could acquire
knowledge rapidly. Her education was commenced anew,
Arithmetic, history, geography,. French and music were
eagerly studied, and a new circle, of friends was gradually
formed. Here again was an abnormal fastidiousness. The
friends of her former self were distasteful, and a young gen-
tlemen who had loved her, and whom she had treated with
cruel ridicule, suddenly became her prime favorite. It soon
became known that Mr. Geo. Henderson and Miss Jennie
Robson were engaged. The young man's parents consulted
Dr. Gibb, the doctor consulted Dr. Forbes Winslow, and the
young people were urgently advised to postpone the nuptials.
Parental opposition precipitated the union. A runaway

» match made them man and wife in May 1856. At the birth,

of their ﬁrst son, the poor mother remained unconscious for
three weeks. Similar symptoms followed the birth of a
daughter in 1860. . One morning she awoke in her former
natural state, without any intimation from memory or con-
sciousness that anything unusual hadhappened. The four
years of her married life were to her as though they had never
been. She shrieked with rage when her husband approached.
She designated her children “somebody’s little brats.” The
house was strange to her. She did not recognize her own
dresses or her own handwriting. She took up life again at
the precise point where she had left it when she fell into the
mesmeric slumber and tried to scale the garden wall. Exis.
tence with her husband was unendurable, and ‘she was taken
back to her mother. Parental interference resulted in a
judicial separation between the husband and wife.

Miss J ennnie Robson, as she again called herself, was:
annoyed by any reference to her abnormal individuality,and~:
her parents yielded to her entreaties to leave the town, and
reside in the South of England. Near Dartmouth she gained’
all her former health and spirits. Possessing a graceful form
and a pretty face, she soon became the focus of masculine-
admiration, and ﬁnally a wealthy young farmer offered his
hand. Pere Robson, in spite of Jennie’s entreaties, insisted
that Frederick Hood should be informed of her previous

mental derangement and marriage. The poor fellow was too I

deeply in love to fearconsequences. Then a new obstacle
arose in a legal form. Her husband heard of her intended
marriage, and threatened Frederick Hood and Jennie with
“proceedings” if the match was consummated. Whereupon

Mr. Hood with J ennie emigrated to this country. Soon after‘ I

the pair proceeded to Southern Minnesota and established
themselves on a fruitful farm. But, alas, misfortune ‘over-

\ took them. In August last Mr. Hood was out driving with

his wife in a buggy, when the horse ran away, the vehicle
was upset, and Mrs. Hood was thrown violently to the
ground, receiving a severe contusion on the back of the head.
She remained unconscious for two weeks. ‘When she recov-
ered consciousness it was even as he feared. “She did not

know me from Adam,” as he expresses it, “and I could no«

more convince her that I was her husband than I could stop
the earth in its orbit. Whenever he approached her she re-
pulsed him with anger for spiriting her away from home.
All her old affection for her children and her former hus-
band returned, and poor Hood had no peace till he started
with her on her way to England. The pair reached the city
from the West on Thursday last, and a friend of Mr. I’-Iood’s
who saw the pair, informed the writer that the coldest and
most severe politeness existed between the whilom man and
wife. Nothing. however, can persuade the lady that she is
not the victim of Hood’s machinations, and her memory ‘re-
verts back to the immediate circumstances preceding the
birth of her baby in 1860.——N. Y. Sunday Mercury.

DIVORCE. V
BY GEORGE EDGAR Monreounnr.

The law has spoken,
The law has broken,

And men have hearkened its stern decree;
The great world wondered:
Two lives are sundered,

Two streams have ﬂowed to the sullen sea.

The past is in ashes,
And memory dashes
The hopes that were born with the birth of the years;
Life’s dream is relinquished,
Love’s lamp is extinguished,
The future is laden with curses and tears.

Deatlﬂs parting--to sever
Forever, forever,
To breathe in a world without fragrance or bloom!
Death’s parting-to wander
Alone, and to ponder
0’er dreams that lie buried in anguish and gloom.

What demon has entered
Where angels have centered,
Where life was as sweet as the glance of a child;
What ﬂame has o’erpowered
The love so embowered,
The beauty, the hope, and the faith undeﬁled?

Ah! bright was the summer,
When ev’ry new-corner
Poured gladness in bosoms of bridegroom and bride;
Ah! pure was each meeting,
Each smile and each greeting,
Each tear that seemed sweeter than honor or pride.

Their lips unrepenting,
Their eyes unrelenting,
They turn from the path that is fairest to men;
Hope weary and sighing,
Love bitterly dying,
The visions that were will come never again,

0 Heart! once forsaken,
Once withered and shaken,
Thy world is hereafter a woe and a shame;
Cold pride may sustain thee!
’Twill bruise thee and chain thee,
’Twill mock thee with throbbing-s thou canst not reclaim

IMMORTALITY.
Sexism, the base of, and only hope for immortal life.

weoonnutn as cnnrniiws /WEEKLY.

Eiiﬁiexism is the law of that distinction, and of the unition of
the sexual forces. ’

Unition is the homogenous and inseparable blending of two
bodies or forces. I

In the examination of animal life, we ﬁnd one law of repro-
duction running through the whole. First, two classes of
individuals; second, the unition of the‘ elements of force
produced by the reproductive organs of at least one from
each class for the reproduction of their kind; also that the
result of such unition is dependent upon conditionand. fol-
lowing circumstances, which may improve, deteriorate, or
even change the individuals from one generation to an-
other, until new varieties are produced»; that the same re-
sults are manifested in all classes of life, not only proving a
unity of all life, but a unity of force.- Then to establish the
force in any point or class, establishes it in the whole; for
that purpose we will take human life in embryo.

Human life begins with a single cell, cup, or stomach; hav-
ing a compound action of expansion (heat, magnetism) and
contraction (cold, electricity); the ﬁrst implies action, ex-
tension, life; the second implies rest, inertia, death; while a
harmonic balance of the two implies a continuity of life and
perfective growth, and the individual lives fast or slow ac-
cording to the preponderating force. and continues according
to the supply to replace the waste; (disease, injuries and sur-
rounding circumstances not considered).

The two classes of individuals we call male and female,
therefore the twoﬁlife-forces which work out individual life,
we call male and female, magnetism and electricity, positive
and negative. The existence begun by the unition of these
two forces in matter, a.nd ‘by continued action of these forces

. grows by an increase of structure or cells similar in form,

life and action to the primal, but so] incorporated as to be-
come a necessary part of the ﬁrst; and here the point estab-
lished runs through the whole organism. Each cell, though
perfect in itself, yet as necessary to the perfection of the
whole as the perfect hand is to the perfect body. ,

The embryotic life being made up of the male and female
forces in unitized action, must have the same" result within
itself, that ﬁrst brought itself into life, which is the fact; an
increase of kind in structural growth. 1

Again, if the individual grows only by the unitized action of
both forces, then the individual should exhibit the combined‘
nature of both forces. and vary according to the preponder_

ating activity of either force, whileithe balance of the two

forces should present the most perfect male or female;
which, I think, the observation of life well establishes;
therefore, sexism established asthe foundation of existence
and its only method of growth, must run parallel with and
be th e crowning glory of immortality.

If the law is right, then the mistake is in sexual life
Continuity of life is dependent upon two points, a. balance 0%
force and of supply and waste. The sexual condition of
human life is the extreme reverse of this; a lack of balance

and an alarming waste and prostitution of sexual force, so

that the wonder is not that we die, but that we live even
miserably as we do.

The great question of the immediate future is Sexism. Not
“if a man die shall he live again,” but how shall man live
and not die. L. M. ROSE, D. M.

MORAL PHILOSOPHY.
I As to reforms in morals, if politics and religion fail, mor-

ality will fail more decisively. What is it, in the body of

the sciences. but the ﬁfth wheel of a coach, inefﬁ ciency actu-
alized? Wherever it combats alone against a vice we are
assured of its defeat. It may be compared to a worthless
regiment-.which, suffering defeat in every encounter, must
be ignominously disbanded. Thus the sciences will have to
treat morality for the services she has rendered them. If
politics or theology have ever accorded to you moralists the
least consideration,/—if they have admitted you as adjuncts
in the struggle against vice, it is to throw on you the respon-
sibility of defeat, and keep to themselves the beneﬁts of)
error. Even as we see the remnants of a defeated
army turn into scattered bands which for sometime infest
the seat of war, so we see the remnants of the moral coterie
forming similar bands, marching without order, system or
end. Like drowning men, they clutch everything-—-m eta-
physics, commercial. wealth‘. every novel ty. These are the
literary bandits who infest the commercial highway.
They are regarded as the ﬂy on the coach wheel.
but" had better ended than theirs.

This doubleness of action, this dissidence of (man with
himself, has given birth to a science named morality, which
views duplicity of action as the essential condition and im-
mutable destiny of man. This morality teaches that he
should resist his passions, be at war with them and himself
—a principle which places man in a state of war with God;
for the passions and instincts come from God, who has given
them for guides to man and to all his creatures. (II. 27.)

The science of morality is not yet born; we are not even
agreed on its first principles. Agree among yourselves on
these principles,!if you desire your ‘children to have them.
How can you expect teachers to teach a science not yet in

N o reign

- existence ?—Le Drapeau Blanc, 1823, quoted by Fourier in

V ol. IL, page 180.

Moral truths! There are a hundred thousand moral con-
tradictions. (II. 54.) e

A fourth science—-morals-—which boasts that it has studied
man, has only studied the art of denaturalizing him; of sup-
pressing the springs of the soul under the pretext that they
do not agree with the social order. (III. 718.)

Outside of, the developments of the unitary series [the
mechanism of the “ combined order,” as-advocated by Fou-
rier in opposition to the isolated household and competitive
business relations] the passions [affections, propensities,
sentiments] are but demoniacs, unchained tigers, from which

the mora1ists__of civilization have been led to suppose that

the passions, are our enemies. On the contrary, it is the

r

M 3

civilized and barbarous social mechanism which is the enemy
of the passions and of humanity, inasmuch aslit accords not
with the societary bonds willed by God. (III. 18.)

God has notcreated the passions, the elements of the
social mechanism, without providing for us some means of
utilizing these materials.

It is not, in the societary order, discussed whether God was
right. or wrong in giving to human beings such—and-such
passions; the societary order employs them without chang-
ing anything, and as God has given them. (V. 137.)

Our systems see only vice in all the impulses which nature

has given the child: little girls are wrong to like dress and _

dancing; little boys are wrong to like gormandizing and
dirt [mal-propretc}. Thus, to believe our sophists, nature is
wrong in all and everywhere; she has not known how to or—
ganize human beings regularly. _ V

. REMARK.-—Th6 reference as to boys liking dirt, is based
upon his opinion that in community life this tendency would
be utilized in groups of boys, denominated “Les petttis
hordes,” whose work it would be to remove and utilize all
offensive materials, in which service they would be attracted:
thus a. propensity that in civilization is an unmitigated
nuisance, becomes in the societary order most useful and
honorable. An eminent physicist said, that: “dirt is only
matter in the wrong place ;” so the propensity to handle it
so notorious in boys, is in the wrong place in civilization;
but the wrong is in the civilization, mechanism, not in the
propensity. King John, of England, 117’ is said, requested his

attendants on an occasion when the ﬁre was too warm, to 

remove the chimney (or supports) farther back. So civilizers
endeavor to remove the natural propensities instead of re-
moving the causes which render their exercise unpleasant,
and ﬁtting the shoe to the foot, in place of vainly attempting
‘to ﬁt the foot to the shoe. But nature is right every time;
and our business is to utilize and not suppress it. And, as
the mountain will not come to Mahomet, it is about time for
Mahomet to prepare to make arrangements to ‘ see about
going to the mountain.

It results from this“ glance, that passional equilibrum,
about which so much has been said, is no arbitrary science as
is that of Plato or Seneca, but rests on ﬁxed rules. (V. 322.-)

The vice of civilizees, consists not in having too much,
but too little ambition; and the vice of civilization, consists
in its failure (to furnish any means to satisfy even the medio-
cre ambition which it excites. (V. 411.)

There must exist a unitary passional code, composed by
God, and interpreted by attraction, before which any number
of libraries crumble. (III. 276.)

There is nothing vicious in our tastes and characters; they
"are distributed in the variety and proportion suitable to our
future destinies, and there is nothing vicious on the earth
but the civilized and incoherent order, which can in no
degree adapt itself to our passions.

0/

Moral science pretends to repress the discordant passions, ‘

but repression is not harmony. The end is to reach the
spontaneous mechanism of the, passions without repressing
any. To regulate them, it is necessary that each individual,
in seeking enlyhis personal interests, should constantly serve
the interests of the community, which is exactly contrary to

the civilized mechanism, which operates only by repression ;

and constraint. (V. 48-51.)

The hon-ton is the ofﬁce of the passion unityism, which is
driven back for want -of range. In civilizationit only leads
to sloth. It is a brilliant eﬁort of bon-ton to deter-
mine all the best society of Europe, to adopt a unitary lan-
guage——aq French, for conversation, and Italian for music.
In this aspect, bon-ton is a reversed image of societary har-
mony, where customs prevail only by unanimous consent,
without intervention of morals, laws or punishments. With
harmonians, it would bring in its train productive labor,
directing to this end all classes and all passions, instead of
exciting, as with us, indolence and dangerous customs. It is
the image direct, and not reversed, of unityism that leads to
industry. (VI. 404.-5.)

N aturam ewpellas furca. tdmen usque recwret. This recur-
rence, or return of passions towards their objects-towards
luxury, groups, mechanism, unityism-—produces eﬁects com-
parable to, those termed in physics, diﬁractory, or reﬂection
of colors or surfaces of black or opaque bodies. Civilization
is ﬁguratively an opaque body, black with fraud and crime;
yet it presents some reflections of harmony. Gaming is a
factitious ailment with which people supply that mania for
intrigue which possesses man, and to the exercise of which
man is impelled by the spur of the tenth passion, called
Cebalis. Empty minds, such as those of peasants, like to
gamble, because it develops in them the passion, which ﬁnds
but little food under the stubble. It pleases even ardent
brains, where there is not sufficient action in intrigue. It
agrees with fashionable company, because truth is banished
therefrom by conformity; passion, (emotion, etc..) cannot
reach there; all is frigid; an artiﬁcial intrigue must be
created by means of cards, but no one proposes cards to
those who have under way an intrigue that is genuine.

We can tell them that they must know how to render virtue

of the passional series. Moralists should know how to organize

this order, now that they have been saved the trouble of its -

WE are prepared to furnish a few hundred complete sets

friends should lose no opportunity to bring these articles to

study of all of ‘them is necessary to a complete understand-
ing of the great and all—important truth that is yet to be re-
vealed; which must be carefully and judiciously brought be-

This ﬁgure is allegorical of the truth, to the exposition of
which the WEEKLY is now devoted. It has been clearly
shown in our present series of leading articles that it repre-
sents the coming blending together of the inhabitants of the
earth and spirit spheres in a common brotherhood, and the
establishment thereby of the universal human family. It
also represents still another and more important truth which
has not yet_been introduced, but which,’ deﬁned in a few
words, is, God in man reconciling the world unto Himself.
We adopt this diagram as emblematic of our future work.

A CRITICIEASM, ANSWERED.

/

' ‘We are always pleased by acandid criticism of any of the
views that are expressed in the editorial columns of the
WEEKLY, or by its editor-in—chief upon the rostrum . Candid
criticism of radical and revolutionary truths relating to the
subject of our social relations, is so seldom met, especially in
‘the press, that we cannot.af‘ford to let an opportunity in

which it ispresented escape. Withthe general vituperation
that has characterized the press, until quite recently, we
have seldom cared to deal, preferring » rather to let the
writers come to their°senses before attempting to remove
their misconceptions about theumerits and truths involved in
the subject. The paper at present in question, however, is
not to be classed among those who have dealt in abuse. Its
columns have frequently contained many very progressive
articles, and its conduct toward the WEEKLY has been
__ courteous, and sometimes even complimentary, as if while
not agreeing with its principles it admired the boldness with
which it advocated unpopular theories.

For these reasons we are glad to be able to make a recent
article that appeared in The Winsted (Ct) Press. Dec. 28th,
the text upon which to base an exhaustive answer to the
points presented, which points involve some of the most
commonly offered obj ections to the practical inauguration of
social freedom; besides, also, the evidences of failure to
recognize what has been repeatedly set forth in the WEEICLY

Press considers the key to the whole subject. We shall re-
produce the article by ‘iparagraphs, replying to each in turn :
“ Victoria. 0. Woodhull is advertised to lecture in Water-
bury, Wednesday evening, Dec. 22, on the ‘True and False,
Socially.’ There is something remarkable about this woman
which causes people to’ ﬂock to hear her speak wherever she
goes. Many, doubtless, go out of curiosity, just as they do to
hear Henry Ward Beecher, whose views of the marriage
question, free-love, etc; are identical with those of Woodhull,
though he dare not express themlas boldly. It has been cus-
tomary for the press to apply vile epithets to her: both in and
out of season, but we observe that she is receiving a. great deal
of ﬂattering attention of late I from the Western press, in
which part of the country she has been lecturing.” ‘

. . REMARKS. »

We think we are safe in saying that the day of curiosity to
see the outspoken advocate of social freedom has ended, and
in its place that there has come a healthy spirit of inquiry-
a desire to know what this freedom really means. In our
recent lecture triplof one hundred and eighteen consecutive
nights we found there hadbeen a marked change from the
moving inspiration of the audiences of two years ago.
The changed‘treatment that our opinions have received from
the press, generally, during this trip, speaks ‘of this more
potently than any word soflours can speak, of the real con-
dition. So long as curiosity was the ruling motive it was
safe for the‘ press to use the common weapons of bigotry

then another method of treatment had to be adopted. ; and
from more abuse, without a presentation of our positions, a
departure was made to candid statements of what we have
said, and courteous personal treatment. If there were no
other reasons, this one fact would go far toward proving
that there is a great fundamental truth involved in the social
question. “ Truth crushed to earth” always rises again,
but"‘error wounded, withers ju pain and dies.” Had the
theory of social freedom been erroneous it would have died

wounds it has sustained. Instead of this, however, it has
struggled against all opposition, and to-day has come to be
a thing to be inquired about by the best classes of society.
With the exception of a few strongholds, where a bitter and
bigoted prejudice exists, most unyieldingly, the press of the
country have unanimously admitted that the social question
is a proper subject for public consideration, and its advo-
cates entitled to the same kind of treatment that is extended
to the advocates of other theories and views. But these few
strongholds will soon have to yield. They can no more hold
out against the spirit that is abroad in the country than
they could elect Mr. Greeley against the spirit that was
abroad in the same way during the last Presidential cam-
paign. Paris is saidlto be France; but the event of that
campaign proved conclusively that NewfYork is not the
"United States. So in regard to the social question, the New
York press may for a time longer ignore the fact that there
is a social issue before the country that will be settled, and
wlgicli it has got to help to settle ; but the tide that has set
in from the country and the large cities of the West, will
eventually, compel it to hoist its colors and to do battle
against the common foe to the race——the improper relations
of the sexes.

“ Much really valuable truth, and often quite as unpalat~
able as valuable, has been given to the world, mixed, possibly,
with some grave errors in her name. At ‘ tearing down ’ she
is an adept, but we have never yet been able to comprehend
her plans for ‘ building up,’ if she has any. ’ She would
emancipatc woman from sexual bondage to man by giving to
both absolute freedom in as well as out of marriage, and
making that. freedom both honorable and lawful by statute
and common consent.” ‘

necessary part of this work that is required to be done. But
we are obliged to object somewhat to this phrase as applied
in the quoted article ; as generally applied to the agitation
of social freedom, because it is not, strictly speaking, a tear-
ing down "process in which we are engaged. Tobe sure, we

wpuld have just such a condition of things inaugurated as
is set forth in the last part. of the ‘paragraph, but such an
inauguration-would be a constructive process ; .it would be

J the making of a new order of society, and not a destruction

of an old order. I A new order of society cannot be univers-

ally attained save through the substitution of a new for an

old or existing form. But before such a substitution can

take place there must be radical changes wrought in the ’

minds of the people. . It is not the individual who makes a
new order. It is composed of the masses moved, originally,
perhaps, by the individual ; but moved out of the old into
the new by reason of conviction, or else by reason of neces-
sity. '

It may be said that Lincoln’s emancipation proclaniation
was an exception to what we have just said ; but it is not,
since Lincoln issued that proclamation in the name of the
people of the United States" as their executive head and not
asan individual. It was Lincoln the President who ﬁnally
tore down slavery. The early Abolitionists only called the
attention of the people to its rottenness and barbarities.
And this is what we are now doing. We are not tearing

down anything; we are ;merely showing the weaknesses, I

unsoundnesses, and inhumanitics of a system that countslits
hanged by hundreds per year, its criminals, insane, and
idiotic by thousands, and its vicious'by millions; its dead in-
fantsalso by millions, and its decaying adultsby tens of mil-
lions. We confess, however, that it is no fault of ours that
we are not tearing in pieces a system that bears such fruit
as these, If it were leveled with the earth tomorrow a
decade -would witness greater strides by the whole people
than have been made by the seven millions ‘of negroes who
were recently slaves. \Ve conceive that there can be no
higher duty that a citizen can perform than to call the at-
tention of his or her fellow—citizcns to any dangerous thing
that exists in their midst ; and we think it is safe to say that
there is no such dangerous thing in existence anywhere as a
system that bears_ such fruit as these which we have just
enumerated.

I “ While such a. condition. of thingsjmight be desirable to a
large majority of men, (particularly those men with wives
grown prematurely old with hard labor and excessive child-
bearing, the best part. of whose lives have been cheerfully
devoted, and perhaps sacriﬁced, to a husband’s will aunt.
desires), it would be a freedom consisting of the foulest in-
justice to woman, because, while it gives the largest liberties
to man it does not free womanjat all. It is only through
ﬁnancial emancipation that woman can be‘ free. Until she
becomes equally with man, capable of self-support, (and that,
considering her many physical disabilities, seems almost im-
possible), she must be more or less man’s property, to be
bought and sold, for a money consideration, for it generally
amounts to that in the plain English deﬁnition of mari'iage.”

REMARKS.

What a confession is this to be made by an editor of a
paper that circulates among the so-called respectable classes:
“The plain deﬁnition of marriage” is “to be bought or
sold for a money consideration.” This is the deﬁnition
usually given to prostitution. Are marriage and prostitution
then coming to be considered by themore thoughtful of the
people as synonymous terms, and as meaning the same
thing ? That they are synonymous terms and mean the
same. thing when the former is merely legal ; when it is not
based on love, is a self-evident‘proposition, the only Cliffor-
ence being that in the former case the bargain and sale is for

life, while in the latter it is temporary. It seems to us if a,

temporary bargain and sale for a monetary consideration be a
bad thing, that a bargain and sale for life is inﬁnitely worse.
It is axiomatic that the longer a bad thing continues, the
worse it becomes, and marriage can be no exception to this
rule. Hence the longer a union of man and woman, that is
maintained by law instead of love, continues, the lower
the grade of prostitution that it exempliﬁes. This may be an
unpalatable truth to many married people; but it is the
truth, and such truth as needs to be proclaimed from the
house-tops of this -“ sin-bestridden and disease-cursed ”
people, so that they may escape from the system in which
they dwell, before it shall fall upon and crush or involve them
in its ruins. I

But worse even than what we have said, because it di—t

rectly calls in question the innate purity of woman, are the
deductions with which this declaration is preceded. It is
argued that a condition of “honorable and lawful” free-
dom for the aﬁections, would be the “ foulest injustice to
woman.” Why? “ Because’ it does not free woman at all,”
it goes on to say. Here the whole burden of what was
previously declared to be “bargain and sale,” is charged to
the account of woman. It will not do to emancipate woman
from “sexual bondage,” because it would do her “the
foulest injustice;” and this is the world’s argument. Hear
it, oh, woman! and tinge your cheeks with shame at your
attempted defense! You must remain “more or less man’s
property,” must continue “to be bought or sold for a
money consideration,” since to be emancipated from these
conditions would be doing you “the foulest injustice.”
And particularly would this be the result to ‘j “ wives grown
prematurely old by excessive child-bearing,” and those
whose “lives have been, perhaps, sacriﬁced to a husband’s
will and desires." Ob, woman! To what adepth of in-
famyhave you sunk to have such defense as this made of
your needs. VVith all the terrible pictures by which we
have attempted to call the attention of woman to her con-
dition, we have never even conceived it possible that she
could fall to such degradation, such shameless and volun-

tary degradation as this. But we are glad that the possible I
condition in which some may be engulfed has been pointed ~

out to woman by those who criticize us as being “ tearers
down ” rather than “ builders up.” \

WOODHULL & CL.AFLII*l.‘S WEEKLY. S " V i L 5

‘ While such a condition of things might be desirable to
a large majority of men,” particularly to those who, as the
article indicates, have abused their wives by their demands,
&c., 850. Now, is this really true in the ‘sense in which
it was intended by the writer? He meant to say that
such men would be glad to escape from holding legal
servants to their lusts, so that they might ﬂy to others
fresher and fairer. This picture must be observed from
the standpoint of both man andwoman, but ﬁrst from that
VVe deny utterly the truth of this statement,
and aiﬁrm precisely the opposite. It is the men who, for
selﬁsh motives, oppose the freedom of _woman, while she
opposes it from a non-understanding of its bearing. They
know if their legal slaves. were set free, that they would
have no subjects upon whom to ‘vent their lusts, save pur-
chased ones, which they also know they could not aﬁord.
Marriage is not only too often entered into by woman as a

it means of support—or a money consideration--but much

more frequently by man as a matter of economy, the cost
of satisfying his lusts being less in marriage ‘than in
common purchase from so-called—prostitutes. This is a
shameful fact, but a fact, nevertheless, with all its shame.
Many aman has saidto us, “Let my family become ac-
quainted with your views ?” Never! I could not do any-
thing with them if I should. Many, we say, have replied
thus, but, thank God, recently this has changed, and the
expressed desire of those men with whom we come in con-
tact, is, that their wives and daughters should know all
about this terrible question.

But our critic has hit upon one fundamental truth. - If it
is only by the bargain and sale of personal favors either in

' or out of ma.rriage, that a woman can obtain a livelihood,.

it is clear that to live she would have to make such sale.
‘We agree with our critic that “ It is only through ﬁnancial
emancipation that woman can be free.” Taking the pOS1-
tion i’n\regard to marriage that is admitted by our critic,
that it “generally amounts to being bought or sold for a
money consideration,”——we say taking this as an admitted
‘pf-act by our opponents, let us see to where an argument
iiEi"egard to pecuniary dependence based upon it, will in-
evitably lead. It must be remembered that we are now

- speaking from our opponents position, and that the deduc-

tions are of their own procuring. If it be true (of which
there is no doubt) that marriage is what our critic states it
to be, then marriage is itself the ﬁrst and prime cause of
woman’s degradation; For is it not clear if there were no
marriages, if there were no women bound by law or custom
to serve their pecuniary masters, that, all women being free
to compete for their support, they would gain it at less
sacriﬁce "of submission ‘to the “will and desires” of their

‘present legal controllers in these respects? In other words,
is it not patent on its face, that there would be less submis-
sion on the part of women as a whole to the “ will and de-
sires” of men as a whole, it there were no legal ‘ties binding
the larger part of women to submission? Our critic, tells us
that it is this submission to the “ will and desires” of hus-
bands that produces the “ prematurely old” wives; that
causes the sacrifice of the “best part of their lives.” Sup-
pose there were no law by which women were thus subju-
gated to this “will ” and these “ desires,” is it not plain
that these to be deprecated effects would be avoided?

We unhesitatingly assert that, if there were no law com-
pelling women to submit to the “ will and desires” of hus-
bands, that there would not be so much commerce between
the sexes as there is now by less than three-fourths. If this
be true then does it not follow that woman would be better
oﬁ, freer than she is now? It seems to us that nothing can
be clearer. Take the individual case and judge of the
universal effect. Let any one select from among her ac-

‘ quaintances some one whose looks indicate a victim of

legal lust; or let almost any marr_ied woman take herself,
and ask her if she were free if she would submit her body
to the debasing lust of man so frequently as she does, if she
were in a position to protect herself, and in the answer
-hear the reply of universal woman. To this answer there
would,_ of course, be honorable exceptions; for there are
some men who respect the persons of their wives. Can
,any woman imagine that these exceptional men would
behave any less honorably to those with whom they live
if there were no law making the wife the legal slave of the
husband? It were impossible to do so. So here again,
it is clear to be seen that legal marriage is a protection ,to
all that is beastly and bad in the relations of the sexes.
It is a license for men devoured of lust, to vent it upon a
victim whom the law has made his slave; and from this
fact there is no way for the sticklers for legal marriage to
escape; it is self-evident. Now, would it not be more hon-
orable in woman; would it not.be more chaste and pure, more
virtuous, for her to hold this power in her own hands; to
hold the control of her own person; to dispose of it as she
might choose, rather than to be made the legal slave to such
scenes of lust and debauch as she is in marriage? Consider
this will ye, who hold that virtue is to be judged by a legal
starldard, and then answer it upon your soul, negatively if
you can! We repeat again that there is many times too much
commerce of the sexes in the world, and that the excess is
to be charged directly upon the system of legal marriage;
and that, if women were to be set free today, this com-
merce would d.ecrease by three-fourths at once; and further,
that all the pecuniary beneﬁt which she derives now from
legal subjugation she would control in freedom by her
own right by the decreased. amount of personal favor be-

stowed. Then, as a mere question of purity; of virtue ;
of chastity; the argument from the admitted standpoint of
our critic is wholly on the side of freedom and utterly
against not only his deductions but _ also against marriage.
Will he have the courage to lay this argument, made from
his own propositions, before his readers: ‘

“He who holds the purse holds’ the power.’ ‘Mrs. Wood—i
hull suggests a very easy way for men to escape from faded
wives, no longer blooming sweethearts perhaps because of
their very devotion to these same husbands, but she does
not open a door to liberty for those unfortunate women
who, in ‘such case, must generally be dependent upon some-
body other than themselves for support or give their persons
up to shameless prostitution and debauch, which we under-
stand Mrs. Woodhull holds in abhorrence in common with
all right minded people. In short, she does not point out
the road to woman’s ﬁnancial independence or equality, and
until that is gained we do not see how there can be sexual
freedom for women, unless it be the foul freedom of the
harlot to earn her living by crucifying every womanly in-
stinct of love and attachment.” .

This paragraph starts out with a false proposition. We
deny that “ he whoﬂholds the purse holds the power,” and
assert in the most positive manner that, in freedom, woman
holds a power as much superior to the purse as the purse is
superior to anything else among men considered as a sex
apart from woman. If women only knew ftheir power, is
it to be supposed that they would barter it away by volun-
tarily resigning it to‘ the legal control of man? Never!
From the moment the woman becomes the legal wife, from
that moment she became a negation in the affairs of the
world. Whatever inﬂuence she may continue to hold, she
holds by suifrance and not by virtue of her own right;she
ceases to be a positive power; she loses control‘ and becomes
the acquieser.

Consider for a moment what would be the situation of
women in abody should revolt against legalgbondage tofman.
Suppose all women were to declare themselves free and
that they would no longer minister unwillingly to the “ will
and desires” of their husbands? Suppose his we say
is it not clear that they, would have their case in their own
hands the moment they should do it? Is it not clear that
they could command their own terms? Is is not clear that
if they should demand six days of freedom each week from
submission to the “ will and desires” of their husbands that
it would be obtained? Aye, more. Is it not clear, if
they should demand the terms proclaimed by nature
in the fullings and the waneings of the Goddess of
the Night that they would be obtained ‘P ‘ Nothing
could be more palpably evident. All that man gives.
now, and more, for the unlimited license granted him
by law, he would give freely for any terms of capitula-
tion that a rebelling womanhood might oﬂfer; and
men know this too well, and fear they may be reduced to
the acceptance of some such terms, and therefore are op-
posed to freedom for woman. Thus, where_ is the escape
“for men from faded wives no longer blooming sweet-
hearts because of their devotion, (submisson he should have
said) to these same husbands? It is a myth, similar to the
conjurings‘ with which pro-slaveryites used to frighten
timid women about the negroes if set free. Then where
would be the giving up to “ shameless prostitution and de-
bauch? ”
prostitution and debauch, in which our critic confesses
woman lives? and a ﬂight to self-control ; to purty and
freedom, in whose atmosphere only can purity exist? ‘ Aye,
would it not‘ be more than this? Would it not be the
restoration .of woman from the curse of Eve, as recorded in
Genesis iii. 16: “Thy desires shall be unto thy husband
and he shall rule ‘over thee.” How can woman ever be
freed from this curse put upon her by her mother Eve, save
by being made free from the conditions of the curse? Will
some of our opponents please inform us? If it were a curse
why continue it? Answer this who can!

A MASS” MEETING.

There is a peculiar signiﬁcance in the fact that there is to
be a Mass Meeting of the Workingmen and VVomen in
Cooper Institute, next Monday evening, under the aiuspices
of the Trades Unions of this city. This is the ﬁrst de-
parture that the Unions have made from their long-time
practice of refraining from political action. it is now
understood that hereafter they will take part in all elections
as a political party. ' The immediate purposes of the
Meeting are to publicly memorialize the ‘City, State and
National Governments in behalf of the unemployed laborer,
and to request that em-ploynaent be found by the govern-
ment for such labor. As the ﬁrst public step ‘toward, pro-
vision for that already large and rapidly growing class of
Workingmen and women who cannot obtain continuous
employment, this Meeting deserves the special attention of
all reformers. Let the public authorities once take the step
of providing means to employ the compulsory idle, and, the
consummation of government employment for all classes of
labor will be assured.‘ So, step by step, is progress made
toward the desired system of a community of interests for
industry, and as each is taken, a blow is dealt the present
system of competition from the effects of which it can
never recover. We hope that this Meeting will be an im-
mense success; such a success, as will call the attention of
the thoughtless to the fact, that labor has some rights which

capital is bound to respect.

Would it not rather be a rescue from shameless.

POSTAL CARD NOTICES.

We feel constrained to say that we must insist upon some
attention being given to the postal card notices that have
been addressed to delinquent subscribers. Most of these
h.ave been twice notiﬁed of the expiration of their sub-
scriptions by the sending in the WEEKLY o_f bills for the
coming year; and now they have been notiﬁed by aper-
sonal card sent to their several addresses separate from the
paper. ‘We repeat that we must insist upon some acknowl-
cdgement as set forth in the appeal printed upon the postals,
or we shall be obliged to resort to more extreme measures
to purge our lists of the names of those who continue to
receive the WEEKLY with no intention of payment. We
also call the attention of subscribers to the bills for renewal
of subscription, now being sent out weekly, wrapped in the
paper, and request prompt attention forhthem.

ALIFE-SIZE LITHO-GRAPH. . ~

We have just received the ﬁrst edition of life-size litho-
graphs of Victoria C. Woodhull, from the lithographic
establishment of Armstrong & Co., of‘ Boston, Mass. They
are splendid pictures, both as awork of art and as like-
nesses. They are printed on heavy paper 20 X24 inches,
and specially adapted for framing. They will be sent post-
paid, securely wrapped to guard against damage, to any
address for 50 cents. The common price of lithographs
of this size is $2 ; but we have arranged with the publishe r
to furnish them in large quantities, at such rates that they
can be resold at the price named without loss to us. They
are thus put within the means and reach of everybody who
desires to have a splendid life-size portrait of the Editor-in-
Chief of the WEEKLY, who has devoted her life wholly to
the inauguration of a new dispensation on earth, in which
misery, vice and crime shall have no place.—...[l\/IANAGING

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON ON WOMAN. V e

A short time since, a writer, well known to many readers,
had a conversation with Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in
which interview that lady is reported to have expressed her-
self in the following characteristic terms: ’

Theodore Tilton need not have shirkecl an acknowledgment
of his associatioh with Mrs. Wbodhull. Victoria Woodhull’s
acquaintance would be reﬁning to any man. In her own

character and person there is never anything but reﬁnement ‘

in word or movement. Shevhas a beautiful3 facel—-the ideal
of spirituality. Victoria Woodhull has done a Work for
woman that none of us could have done. She has faced and
dared men to call her the names that make women shudder,
while she chucked principle, like medicine, down their
throats. She has risked and realized" the sort of ignominy
that would have paralyzedlany of us who have longer been
called strong-minded. Leaping into the brambles that were
too high for us to see over, .she broke a path into their
close and thorny interstices, with a steadfast faith that
glorious. principle would triumph at last over conspicuous
ignominy, although her life might be sacriﬁced. And when,
with a meteor’s dash, she sank into a dismal swamp, we
could not lift her out of the mire or buoy her tnrough the
deadly waters. She will be as famous as she has been infam-
ous, made so by benighted -or cowardly men and women.

Theodore Tilton was ashamed to acknowledge Victoria
Woodhull; but in the annals of emancipation the name of

i

which he was ashamed will have its own high place as a de-
Jiverer. . ‘

I shall never forget it of Henry Ward Beecher and Tneo
dore Tilton that they have championed Woman’s Rights
They are not, through the scandal trial, merely, made the
two most prominent persons of the time. Henry Ward

' Beccherand Theodore Tilton are two of the grandest men
men of the age. It is a most strange incongruity that open
court, common gossip and public caricature have mixed per-

_ jury and transgression into the career of a man whose every
previous act and inﬂuence was to make this world better.

Mrs. Stanton, seriously and with deliberate emphasis. said:
“ I have worked thirty years for woman suﬂrage, and -now I

. feel that suffrage is but the vestibule of Womun’s emancipa-
tion! The one moment when Mrs. Tilton was to be respected
wasqwhen she said: ‘ Theodore, I can stand by your side no
longer. 1 shall go 1’ ” i »

And he but naked, though locked up in steel
Whose conscience with injusticeis corrupted.”

MATTIE STRICKLAND!
BRAVE ANGELS!

Iido not send condolence. I do not send sympathy. On
the contrary, I send congratulations. I send eulogy.

To those who violate their consciences; to those who dis-
obey the divine voices; to those who give their necks to the
yoke ; to those who accept slavery, subjugation, hypocrisy-
who give to the world, as the result of that slavery, children
defrauded of their birth—-right—a mother’s desire, and a
mother’s welcome—to such send sympathy. Theirs are the
hearts that are breaking. They are the souls who need the
consolat-ions of those who overﬂow with sympathy; and they
are the sorrowful ones who, ﬁnding sympathy so rare, appeal
to the vicarious gospel for sustaining strength.

But to those who identify themselves with the supreme,
whose feet are placed on the rock of truth, who have for
associates all the innumerable company of angels opening to
them the portals of Heaven—consolation and sympathy to
favorites of the Most High like these? Never! »

To the Editors of the Weekly :—Last July I sent $1.50 for a
six months subscription, to your paper, as atrial, in order to
satisfy myself as to its teachings. I was 111 need of just such
‘information as is usually contained in its columns; having
just recently deserted the ranks of priestcraft and religious
’"fanaticism; not knowing which way to turn, or where to seek
for rest. I am pleased to state, that I ﬁnd great satisfaction
in the views of the reformers who write for your paper; and
Lam perfectly delighted with the bol.d and fearless editorial
articles. 1 am also, very glad ,. that the tone of the press at
large is beginning to change from scurrilous abuse, to calm
consideration.
I am not ashamed to have it known that I read the WEEK-
LY, nor am I afraid to avow my belief in, and endorsement
of the socialistic views advocated In it.

. In view of my youth, I have been advised by friends and
relatives, to not involve‘ myself in “Woodhullism.” But I
cannot accept, the popular doctrines relative to love and
marriage; and I am determined to not act the hypocrite by
pretending to be friendly to existing laws and customs when
I am not.

Ihave seen enough of the workings of " legal marriage,” to
satisfy me thatl must ever be a. sworn enemy to that so-
called sacred institution. More plainly I see, day after day,
that there is no need of the present marriage laws.

Pardon this intrusion upon your valuable time.
yours, for truth and progress.

SHELLEY.

Mr. Charles Sotheran, of the Bibliopolis, has written a book
on the poet Shelley as a philosopher and reformer, which is
to be published in a few weeks by Charles P. Somerby.
Although much has been written of Shelley as a. poet: his
life has never before been; presented as that of a thinker
and a worker for the beneﬁt of humanity. The little volume
now being printed will contain. a sonnett on Shelley, by
C. W. Frederickson, the well-known collector of Shellyana,
and will be embellished by a portrait and a view of his tomb
at Rome. I

 

(From the advance sheets of Sothemrfs Biography of Percy
Bysshc Shelley.) '

The subject of the rights of women is approached and ex-
patiated on, perhaps learnedly, by individuals utterly in-
competent to deal with the question. Such persons, fre-
quently armed with Sunday-school platitudes, believing in
the inferiority of women, consequent on the supposed fall,‘
and doubtless with heads paved with good intentions, as a
certain place is said to be, do more harmthan good to the
cause. This is not wanted, and is worse than useless. To
found a real republic on a solid basis, it can be legislated for
only by removing the ancient landmarks by a gradual pro-
cess, and coming face to face with a new order of things,
without bias or prejudice borrowed from the past. Thus
that noble, woman, Mary Wolstonecraft, as well as John
Stuart Mill, Percy Bysshe Shelley and numerous others,
have treated this all-important question. which cannot be
shirked by the race. True reformers ask: What was the
condition of the sex in the past? Look down the revolving
cycles and note. In ancient Egypt, woman in the upper
classes was almost the equal of man, and although, like
Cleopatra, she could wield the sceptre, yet in the lower her
condition was wretched; in Asia, a mere slave and object
of Zenana lust; in savagedom, a beast’ of burthcn. In Rome‘
and Greece, Shelley shall tell the story:

“Among the ancient Greeks the male sex, one-half of the

whilst the other, so far as intellect is concerned, were edu-
cated as slaves, and were raised but few degrees in all that
related to moral or intellectual excellence above the condi-
t1on_of savages. The Roman women hold a higher
consideration in society, and were esteemed almost as the
equal partners with their husbands in the regulation of do-
mestic economy and the education o‘L\their,children.”

Regard the incidents of a Jewish wooing, in which the
Woman had no voice, and of the marriage, the infernal pun-
ishments for adultery, and the accounts of the seraglios of
the Hebrew kings equalled only by Turkish hurems, and
some of the passages in the inspired Book of Numbers.
for instance, in which the horrible truth is .frequently'
too evident, and only equalled by the fact that 3ﬂ381‘
lust‘ had played out its passion, unfortunate women. taken
in captivity, could, by divine command, be turned adrift to
rot or starve. In Christian feudalism we ﬁnd-nothing much
better. If I have read history correctly. and 1 may bewrong
’-the upper grade women in medizeval Europe, who were
adored, not with love, but with lascivious and sensual wor—
Ship, by Christian knights and troubadours, and who, like
criminals to the halter, were forced, rarely with their own
consent, into the arms of men they disliked or had never
seen, or were placed in convcntual houses against their wills.
Oflthe lower grade women I need only oifer one example——
and that is suﬂicient to show their awful degradation; the
French and German feudal lord had the right of cuissage, or
in plain English, the embraces of his serf—retainer’s bride on
the marriage night. , .

Shelley considered that in consequence of all this, men had
forgotten their duties to the other sex, and that even at the
time at which he lived woman, was still in great social bond-
age, improperly educated, tied down by restrictions, and

refused participation in the higher positions of labor. "He

called not in vain, against the inequality of the sexes, and
asserted that woman’s position must and should be altered
by forgetting the tyranny of the past, and, be determined,
for the goodof the future.

We should be rejoiced that eloquent exponents of the
abominations of former, ages. the evils of the present, and
the proper position of the future, are now hard at work.
The “Women’s Rights” party is up teaching men their
duties on every continent: in distant India, the Brahmo
Somaj is battling, not vainly, against the horrors of the
Zenana, [and in conservative England, which has been.
stormed, and the folorn hope is now taking possession of the
citadel; everywhere it is the ame. Yes, woman, thanks to
Shelley and the reformers, is about to be emancipated and
free; free to earn. her living, how, where, and§ when she
likes; the equal of man, who shall no longer play such
fantastic tricks as he did in the past, in proof of his dignity
and superiority. The fourth of July is not long past and
gone; I trust that in the dim vista of the future, our de-
scendants will keep a national holiday. or a day to be set
apart on which shall be celebrated the “ Declaration of the
Independence of Women,” ._and then, perhaps, Shelle_y’s
description of women in the “ lilpisychidioi1” will be more
apparent:

“Serapli of heaven! too gentle to be human,
‘ Veiling beneath the radiant form of woman
All that is unsupportable in thee,
Of light, and love, and immortality.”

Have you seen the Woiiderful- Type-
Writing Machine-ll

   

No more pen paralysis! No more spinal'curvaturc
because of the driiclgery of the pen. The Type—
Writer has found rapid acceptance wherever intro-
duced, and has fully sustained the claim that its work
is twice as fast, three times as easy and ﬁve times
legible as that of the pen. It paragraphs, punctuates.
underscores and does ﬁgure work——in a word, all
things necessary to the production of a perfect manu-
script. Any size or quality of paper may be used, and
the most satisfactory results obtained, at a saving in
time and strength of at least one. hundred per cent
The Type-Writer “manifolds” ﬁfteen copies at once,
and its work can also be copied in the ordinary
copy-press.
READ THE FOLLOWING WDORSEMENTS.

What Mr. Jenny, of the New York Tribune, says
about it:

NEW YORK, June 10, 1875.
DENSMORE, Yosr & Co.:

Gentlemen——I am an earnest advocate of the Type-
Writer. Having thoroughly tested its practical worth,
I ﬁnd it a complete writing machine, adapted to a wide
range of work. The one I purchased of you several
weeks since has been in daily use, and gives perfect
satisfaction. I ‘can write with it more rapidly and
legibly than with a pen, and with inﬁnitely greater
ease. Wishing you success commensurate with the
merits of your wonderful and eminently useful in-
vention, I am, respectfully yours,

E. H. JENNY.

OFFICE OF DUN, BARLOW & Co., COM. AGENCY,
335 BROADWAY, New York, Dec. 8, 1874.

Gentlemen—The Type-Writers we purchased of you
last June for our New York, Albany and Buﬂalo
-oﬂices have given such satisfaction that we desire you
to ship machines immediately to other of our offices
at Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit. Hartford, Louisville,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and no more to our New
York Office, 335 Broadway.

We think very highly of the machine, and hope you
will meet with good success. Respectfully yours, '

DUN, BARLOW & CO.

OFFICE or WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH Co.,
' CHICAGO, July 8, 1874.

DENSMORE, Yosr & Co.:

G'entZemen—Having had the Type-Writer in use in
my oliice during the past two years, I do not hesitate
to express my conviction of its great value. Its best
recommendation is simply to say that it is a. complete
writing machine. The work of writing can be done
with it faster, easier and with a better result than is
possible with the pen. The time required to learn its
use is not worth mentioning in comparison with‘ the
advantages afforded by the machine. Yours truly.

ANSON STAGER.

What Governor Howard of Rhode Island says:
PHENIX, R. I., March 27, 1875.

Dnnsiiionn, Yosr & C0,:

G-entlemen—We have now had the 'I‘ype-Writer about
a month, and are entirely satisﬁed with it. There can
be no doubt in regard to its usefulness. When I saw
the advertisement of the machine originally I had little
faith in it. An examination surprised me, but not so
much as the practical working‘ has. We have no
trouble whatever with it, and it is almost constantly

. in operation. I think that it must rank with the great

beneﬁcial inventions of the century. Very truly
yours, HENRY HOWARD.

, MORRISTOWN, June 29, 1875.
Dnnsuonn, Yosr & Co.:

Gentlemen-—’I‘he Type-Writer which I bought of you
last March I have used ever since, and I wish to ex-
press my sense of its very great practical value. In
the ﬁrst place, it keeps in themost perfect order, never
failing in doing its work. * ﬁnd also. after having
used it for four months, that , am able to write twice
as fast as with the pen, and with far greater ease. The
mechanical execution has become so far instinctive
that it takes far less of the attention of the mind than
was the case with the pen, leaving the whole power of
the thought to be concentrated on the composition,
the result of which is increased vigor and strength of
expression. The result is also so far better than the
old crabbed chirography that it is a great relief both
to myself and to my correspondents. The sermons
written in this way are read with perfect ease by in-
validsand those who for any cause are kept from
church on Sunday. which ﬁlls a want often felt by
ministers. And altogether. if I could not procure
another, I would not part with this machine for a
thousand dollars; in fact, I think money is not to be
weighed against the relief of nerve and brain that it
brings. Yours, very truly,

JOHN ABBOTT FRENCH,
Pastor First Pres. Ch., Morristown, N. J.

Meeting in Baltimore, Feb., 1872,

by A. Briggs Davis. ‘

THIRD EDITIONWNOW READY

This Poem will be especially iiii'.cre+:tiiit: to réadcrs
of the WEEKLY from the fact that its leading idea~—
viz., that of the Deity, corroborates the View of woman
and the explanations of Bible mysteries now being
given by Mrs. Woodhull. It shows how woman is to
friompass man and bring in full salvation and redemp-

on.

The vision of the “woman clothed with the sun
and having the moon beneath her feet,” has a prac-
tical fulﬁllment iii the “last days.” ‘While opposing
its idea of Deity, the Baltimore Amer2'.ca7t said: “ It is
a production of much merit.” , '

BY KERSEY GRAVES,
Author of “The Biography of Satan ” and “The Bible
of Bibles ” (compr2'se'.ng a description of
twenty Bibles.)

This wonderful and exhaustive volume by Mr. Graves
will, we are certain, take high rank as a book of refer-
ence in the ﬁeld which he has chosen for it. The
amount of mental labor necessary to collate and com-
pile the varied information contained in it must have
been severe and arduous indeed, and now that it is in
such convenient shape the student of free thought will
not willingly allow it to go out of print. But the book
is by no means a mere collation of views or statistics:
throughout its entire course the author—-as will be
seen by his title-page and chapter-heads—follows a
deﬁnite line of research and argument to the close,
and his conclusions go, like sure arrows, to the mark.

Walceﬁeld Earth Closet Co.——We have used one of
your Earth Closets now for near three year s, and it
has p1‘0ved_t0 be quite equal to our expectation. We
do/not hesitate to say that where there is imperfect
drainage and the lack of water closets, the use of the
Earth Closet seems indispensable for both health and
comfort. And where members of the family are very
yOung._ or where they are weak and in delicate health,
we believe that one of your Earth Closets will more‘
than pay for itself every year. Our feeling is. that we
could not think of doing without your inv--nti’on.

We have used several of your Earth Closets in and
about our Institution, and cheerfully accord to them
the first place, so far as our experience goes, and it has
been not inconsiderable. For all purposes of neatness
freedom from smell, and non-liability to get out of re;

I have used one of your best Wakeﬁeli-‘l. Closets for
three or four years at my residence in Toledo, and it is
every way satisfactory. I consider your system every
way equal to the Water Closet system, and in some
respects superior. It saved me the expense of a water
closet, with trouble of bursting and obstructed pipes
and my friends in the country were glad to keep mé
supplied with dry earth, on condition of receiving in
exchange the product of the closet from time to time.
