THE NEW "WOMAN. .

¦ Tell us not in mournful numbers i Woman's born to be a slave, • For she no w can mount the platform, I And to the public rant and rave. - She is real, ihe is earnest, r And the platform is her goal ; i To be henpecked by her husband - She revolts at from her soul. ) Full enjoyment, and not sorrow, , la her destined end or way ; i And bo act that men in future i Shall not have co much to say. ' Talk is long and time is fleeting, r But she takes no note of this, I To out-do her husband, brother, This to her is untold bliss, i - In the world's broad field of battle, c In the politics of life, c She is not like driven cattle— 1 She's a hero in the strife. 2 " Trust not mankind, ho we'er pleasant," . Is their first, outspoken oreed; ' . J " Lean not on the male creation, a For man ie an unstable reed." c Lives of womankind remind us ' ' ' '. ' They will make their names to shine, a And departing, leave behind them i> Footprints on the sands of time. I Footprints that perhaps a brother, ' Sailing; o'er life's troubled main £ A forlorn and hopeless lover, c : Seeing shall lose heart again. Ie Get ye up then, husbands, brothers,- '• " o Put her down at any cost — "' ' ie Aot at once, ana strike oat boldly, I ',, Or your stand's forever lost.
