American Women. •
. Woman were, by all nations, in
ancient times considered inferior to
man. The principal duties of the
ancient Grecian woman were to cook,
to spin and .to oversee the work of
the domestic slaves of which she was
practically one. The low position
assigned the wife in the home had a
most disastros effect oh Greek mor-
als. She could exert no such elevat-
ing and refining influence as she casts
over the modern home. The men
were led to seek social and intellect-
ual Sympathy and companionship
Outside the family circle among a
class of women known as the
"Hetaira;," who were esteemed
cheifly for their brilliancy-of intel-
lect. The ^iHetarrs" was moat harm-
ful to social morality. But as civil-
ization advances and as the minds of
men are raised to higher standards,
the more they appreciate the intel-
lectual power of the home womeu.'
Today in the whole civilized world
she has, with a few exceptions all the
privileges allowed to man, and righly
so, for, as Talmage says, "The world
never owned such influenc tf woman-
ly character or such splndor of wo-
manly manners or multitudinous in-
stances of wifely, motherly, daughter-
ly, sisterly devotion as it owns todad."
I think the ideal woman is one, who,
to gentleness of manners and sweet-
ness of natural disposition, adds
graces of intellectual culture and the
adornments of Christian faith and
love. In no other nation on earth
does woihao hold a higher rank than
in America. Look at the many men
who have risen to fame in America,
were thoy not reared by American
mothers? .Most of these "iiiothers
were obscure, aa far as notoriety was
concerned, but the wiiry of their
matchless characters Is told in their-
brilliant sons. Think of the bravery
and hardships of the Southern wom-
an buriug the civil war. They were
ane are the unfa mad heroines of the
world Washington Irving has said:
"Those disasters which bfeak down
r . •
the spirit of man and prostrate him
in the dust, seem to call forth all the
energies of-the sotter sex and give
such intrepidity and devotion to their
characters that at timea it approaches
almost to sublimity." The worth of
American women in hospitals is be-
yond estimation. Their tender hands
and cheerful words are better than
all the doctors' medicines. There are
many schools for tne training of the
bodies, tninds'and souls .of American
wonea for this great cause of caring
for the sick and dying. Their kihd-
ness, tenderness and thougbfulnesB
cannot be equaled by man. Besides
see what woman has done for the. It
was once held t-hat she should not
take an active part in religious work,
but she has long since won the well
deserved statement that "the church
is the appointed instrument of God
m the evangelization of the world,
and woman has ever been and-still is
the conscience of the race." Though
women wield a great influence upon
the political world indirectly, yet it is
beneath their womiftnly dignity to
push themselves into public pomp
and political strife. A great many
American women are highly accom-
plished in the beautiful art ef paint-
ing, while more, I belieye are talent-
ed in the soul elevatiug one of music.
There are but few art Americau wo-
men have not mustered. Mrs. Frank
Leslie shows .what they 'can do as
editors. After bcr husband's death
she lc>ok control of all his work and
raised the celebrated Prank Leslie's
Magazine to a bank account. Amoug
our novelists Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe stands pre eminent, at least
her writings have been by far the
most popular. Her book "Uncle Tom's
Cabiu" changed prehaps the destiny
of our country. Oliver Wendell
Holmes-said of her:
"Thon whom by some celestial clue couklst
find.
The way to all the hearts of all mankind;
On thee already caooaized, enshrined,
Wiiat more pan heaven bestow!'
Among our poets Alice and Phoebe
Cary are two of the most brilliant.
Whittier says of Alice:
"Years pissed, through ail the land hor come
A pleasant household word became.
All felt behind tlae 6inger stood
A sweet and gracious womanhood."
We see the sacred love which she
associated with hor home in her beau-
tiful poem, "Our Homestead," and
how could a mother be pictured more
beautifully thau in lierpoem "An or-
der for a Picture." It was this same
sweet and.gracious Alice Cary, who
wrote that immortal ppem, beginning:
"True worth is in heirs, not fye.niuj;
• la doing each day that goes by
Some little good, not in dreaming.
Of the great things to do by and by.
The best know Americau woman^
probably since . the death of Mrs,
Stowe was that tireless reformer aud
philanthropist, Frances E. Willard.
Her whole life was a benefaction. As
tho founder of the "Woman's Chris-
tian Temperance Uuion" she spout
herself lavishly in the great cause of
temperance reform. No other has
more generously, more faithfully or
more steadfastly wrough for the hap-
piness of the home, the elevation of
the youth and for social purity. Miss
Helen Gould is another of our great
philanthropists. We have heard it
said that "riches make people more
miserly," but she is indeed an excep-
tion to the rule. After her father's
death she appropriated her part of
his legacy to the grand and benificent
cause of charity. Site cousiders it
her duty to watch over and care for
destitude within her reach. She is
now educating many orphans, who, if
it were not for hor would have no op-
portunities whatever. During the
Spanish-American war she, notwith-
standing her wealth and exalted po-
sition in society, went to Cuba as a
hospital nurce. After the burning of
the Windsor hotel in New York not
many dayB ago, she proffered her
home to wounded ones. True uobil-
jty is indeed displayed in -this graud
character. Who Would not say with
Otway, "Oh woman, American wo-
raiah, natuf© made ?ou to temper
man, who had been brutes without
you. Angelsr ard paiuted—|air to looti
like you. "There's in you all that
wo believe in heaven; araa2ing bright-
ness, purity and truth, e.ternal joy
and everlasting love/'-^Blanche Tem-
