TOE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH TRIPLE SHEET PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER LS, 1SG9. 5 THE SDUJECTJUN OF WOKEN." Aro Women Physilrsitl on tin IVcinnl F.otlnu vnm lin n r From the Ettinfturyh Jinnicda article on Mr. Mill's 'Subjection of Women" wo extract the following pointH indicating physiological ob jections to tho doctrine of tho equality of women with men: lint let us turn for ono moment to tba lher view of tlio question. It is that ft woman in a woninn, and not a lower edition of man. The competition in which wo are forever la boring to involve them has no existence in nature. They are not rivalu nor nntiit;onintn. They are two halves of a complete boiag. The ofllccs they hold in tho world are ennon tially difl'erent. There is Kcarcoly any natural r.l.anciing ground which we can realize on which these two creatures appear as rivals. The very thought is preposterous. Shall the woman chnllenge tho man to a trial of ptrength ? tfhall tho man pit himself against tho woman for delicacy of eyo and taste ? Khali sho plough the heavy fields with him, wading through tho new-turned mould, or hhall he watch the children with her, patient through tho weary vigil '( An exchange of plnco and toil, tho man taking tho in-door work and tho woman the out-door, in order to prove tho futility of their mutual discon tent, was a favorite subject with the old ballad-makers; and tho witty minstrel is gone rally very great on tho domestic confusion that follows and gives tho wife the best of it. J3nt tho fact is that such a rivalry can bo nothing but a jest. Tho two aro not rivals, they are not alike. They are different crea tures. They are one. To illustrate this theory, wo have but to look at tho life which they lead together. .Civiliza tion has a wonderful faculty for altering and confounding the natural conditions of exist ence. But in primitive circumstance!! it is always the man who is the bestower of mate rial advantages; it is his to give, to provido for, to labor, to protect. lie is tho bread winner the strength is his. It is he alone who, without intermission, can faco the out Bide world, and force a subsistence out of the reluctant soil or the barren seas. When tho typical pair set out together who are to found all human economies, all domestic relations, and from whom the new life is to proceed and every new pair is but a repetition of tho first nature places them at once with a cer tainty beyond theory in their traditional plaoes. The woman has an office to perform which renders unremitting labor impossible to her. She is the fountain of life, bound by all the laws of her nature to guard the sacred seed and bring it forth to crush the serpent's head and fill tho world with increase and gladness. The man may shirk his work, but hers she cannot shirk. And in the pride and joy of her special office there mingles a sacred shame which compels her to intervals of seclusion and avoidance of the world's gaze. Her life is interrupted, broken up into morsels; now she can go forth, can work if it be needful, can use in any way that may bo necessary tho facnlties that God has given her; and anon there comes a time in which all such labors must be suspended in consideration of some thing else which God has given her to do. But the man has no interruptions to his life; his strength is steady without breach or varia tion. What partnership is there that can have any analogy with this ? Let us suppose that they labored together in their lAeu a little while, scarcely knowing which was which in the first hweet unity of being. And then the time came when ho went out alone to labor, and she in her sanctity of weakness stayed at home. When Le returned, how could it bo otherwise than that the one for whom ho had been toiling all day should meet him with offices of service, with domestic ministrations, with trateful lessoning of herself and magui- fvinc of him ? From that moment must not equality have fled to the winds like all other I foolish pretenses? The man was out all day toil- I inc. tampering, meeting mo winus aim iuo storm, the sun beating on his head, tho powers of nature resisting him; what could ho be but king when he returned to that first hut or hovel and stretched out his weary limbs by tho new-lighted fire? hervico was his due. Tho food he hail earned, must it not bo offered to him, with observances copied afar off from those with which tho gifts of His giving were offered back again to God ? The imagination refuses to believe in, refuses to frame, any other conception. His inferior that mif'ht or might not be but his servant, ves ms minister, tho natural Second, the born solace and consolation. When we cast our eves back to tho primeval husband and wife when we turn to any subsequent pair who have ever set out upon the world like Adam and Be, we find the same course of events recurring in infallible sequence. This is fact and nature, let theory say what it will The woman in such a union is in no way called noon to be the man's inferior. She may be intellectually his superior even, and it will not change the course ot na ture. She will serve him should all the world interfere to prevent her. She will spread his table, and watch his wishes, and trive him of his own, with rites of grail tude. with flowers and incense, and a whole liturgy of ministration. Eve would have done it had Mr. Mill been there ever so distinctly, shaking his head at her, and bidding hor re member the rules of equality. Equality ! What does it mean ? Has it any existence us between any two people in intimate vela tions on tho faco of the earth ? And were it established over and over, were it measurable by line ond weight like any tangible material, what wlace is there for its consideration be tween the two thus linked and bound to gether, the ono the supplement of the other ? Man poes out to his work and labor till the evening. Woman prepares for him, waits for him. serves him at home, bo natural is this, that when, as the case may be, it is a woman who is the breau-wiuner lor a uouseuoiu oi women, the worker is turned into on ini mrnnintn snoerior on the spot, and served and waited on as the man in other circum- Htiic.e in waited on and served. It is the hire of the laborer, the reward of the pro videran iustinctivo law which antedates all legislation, and lies at tho very root and be ginning of all human affairs. MAN THE SUl'EKIOR. Tims. thoiiL'h we have declared without hesitation our belief that the law which takes all property and all right from marriod women is an insult and injustice, equally cruel and unwise, we are ready to grant as lranwy that the economical position of man is that of the minerior. the first in the natural hierarchy, ll it is whose office is to maintain, support, and protect. He may mot always be equal to the duties of this office. He may by nature be no more powerful, no more steadfast, no more trustworthy, in fact, than the wife who is recognized as dependent on him. But in bis official position he stands firHt, and has in Lis favor all the instincts and prejudices of nature. It is vain to assert of a rule which is so universal that it originates in the arbi trary will of the stronger half of the speoies, We might say, on the contrary, with much women v. ho have iramou mm lniaJible law. livery observer, whose eyos aro open to the Rommou facts about him, will soo it re-cnactod every day by every bride who croFHcs tho threshold of a new household. Mr. Mill will toll us that this is the result of dtfectivo education, ul of the long habit of sluvrry; but let him take the most high Miiritrri yonni woman he can find, trained in his own school, and roused to full defense of tho theoretical rights of her sex by the en thusiasm of youth and vehement snotarian education, and let her but marry a man sho loves, and tho philosopher will find tho codo re-established, it may bo seeTetly,'4it may bo with a sense of guilt and confusion, and even t reaehery to her own cause, ere she has well taken her place in her new kingdom. She may rule her husband even, yet sho will servo him; she may lead him blindfold by right of love, or wit, or superior character, ojid yet hhe will minister to him, wait upon him, ofi'er him sacrifices ns if sho were tho commonest daughter of Evo. For were the confusing conditions of our civilization abolished, along with dowers, and laws of property, and mar risge settlements, would it not be his office to work for her r Him it must be to protect her, whatever external dangers come their way; his to toil when l'rovidencc forbids her from toiling; his to stand between her nnd the world, and screen off from her, at those mo ments when nature demands seclusion, the offensive gazo of tho crowd. Far be it from us to dwell with prurient sentiment upon the details of that grand function which is tho distinguishing work of woman in the world. But any theory of her being which ignores it, or gives it a secondui y place, or in any way whatever leaves it out of the calculation, is inevitably a futile theory. Lot us imagine even that at other tunes she may be capable of maintaining her own independence and secur ing her livelihood apart from tho help of man yet at these times she is not so capable. It is then that his strength which is liable to no interruption asserts its superiority. lie has nothing to do which calls him ofl his day s work, promptshim to seek the covert, pntshim aside from ordinary employment. Such a fact makes rivalry utterly impossible. It would be as reasonable to expect that a soldier engaged in a dangerous campaign, and with the necessity upon him of periodically con fronting de ath, and running all the risks of a battle, should at the same timo compete with a civilian in some art or handicraft. The comparison is weak, for there is no reason why the soldier should not be in robust health up to the moment of marching, and it is his own hie only which is concerned. JJtit tho women who are men's wives are bound in most cases to undergo periodically a risk which is as great as that which any individual soldier encounters in a battle. And they have not only to brace their nerves to encounter this danger for themselves, but it is their grand moment of responsibility, when they must vin dicate the trust reposed in them by God and the world. Can there be any doubt that this essen tial element of her life at once and forever disables a woman from all trial of strength and rude equality with man? Nobody but a fool, we believe, will assert that the burden of this great trust stamps her as inferior. It would be just as reasonable to say that it gave her a superior place in the economy of nature as the possessor or a faculty more utterly es sential to the continuance of the race. But there can be no doubt about the fact that it separates her and her work and her office from the office and work of man. The two are not made to contend and compete and run races for the same prize. There is no natural opposition, but on tho contrary har mony unboundod in their uineronces ol nature harmony which can never be at tained by two creatures framed on tho self same plan. THE I'KOFEKKIONAI. EDUCATION OF OIKLS. But when wo turn to the consideration of professional education for girls, we feel that we have returned to the general fundamental conditions of women, and can only argue the one nuestion by an appeal to tho other. Tro- fcRsional education in man occupies all tho season of youth. He has reached his majority at least before ho is qualified to put his powers to the test, aud exercise tho know ledge he has gained. Unless ho steps into an excentional position, reaping tho beueiit of some one else s labors, tho mat ten or lit teen years of manhood are spent in a struggle for Eosition, more or less hard in proportion to is talents and his character, and his power of awaiting a slow result. Under favorable circumstances, of course, this struggle is not mortal, but it always requires the man s lull force, his clearest judgment, and most careful labor. If he is prosperously established in the exercise of his profession at i!.". with a clear prospect of gain and social honor, he has done as won as ne could possibly hope, and can look forward with toh rablo confidence on tho career before him. During this early struggle he has to exert all his powers; if he pauses for a mo ment he knows that it is at the hazard, not of losing that moment alone, but of sacritic . . .. , fi-i l ... ing ten times us vaiue. xue roau is so up hill that he slides down one step lor every tbreo he makes, and is aware that to stop short or to turn aside on the way is destruc tion. A temporary illness sometimes neutral izes years of labor; he must be always at his post, pushing on witn speea unoroiien, Should he fall, some one else is ready to iostle him out of tho already too crowded war. Such is a very ordinary statement of the" usual difficulties which beset the path, say, of a young physician: and the other pro fessions are not loss toilsome. Eel us see what eft'ee.t these obstacles would have on the career of the candidate were it a woman and not a man. MARRIAGE AGAIN. The first thiug we have to imagine is that the girl's entire youth, its bloom, and softest years should be passed nue mat oi a young man in the steady pursuit of knowledge At one-and-twenty. by tho devotion of all her youth, she is qualified to enter upon the nraclice of her proiossion, when 10 ! tuere uppears at the ihresnoia oi nie mo mosi natural ol all interruptions to a young woman's career, a young husband ready to take upon himself the charge of her for tunes. She is married, let us suppose, her education being no bar to the primitive duties of hor sex: and let us also imagine that she is loth to sacrifice at a stroke the labors of so many years, and that sho attempts to combine professional exertions with tho duties of a wife. She works for a year, let us say, with intermissions, finding it more and more difficult to maintain her place against the lively competition of men who have no divided duty. Then she is stoned short bv the inevitable discharge of the nrimarv function of woman. This business over, she resumes again with a heart and at tention sorely divided between the claims of the infant she leaves at home and the duties she finds outside. During the interval of her seclusion, however restricted in point of time, every one of her male competitors has made a stride before her. Faltering and dis conrnged, she resumes her laborious way; and il tU Ua tUc energy I lui!In-ilo;uu suvn in Ler single person, if her oonrago is indomit able and her determination snblimo, she per hnps maneges by a strain of mind and body which it woukl be impossible to continno long, to make up half of the ground sho has lost; when lo 1 another interruption oomos, end sho has to step aside again and boar her feminine burden, and seo her competitors, light nnd unladen, stride past onoo more. 'J his Is tho inevitable course, known onhy too well to every woman who has endeavored to combine professional exertions with tho or dinary duties of a man's wifo. Other compli cations, such as wo shrink from mentioning, probably come in to take all tho elas ticity out of a mind so burdenod. Her chil dren, born amid these cares, and injured before their birth by tho undue activity of brain which weakens their mother's physical powers, oome into the world fccblo or dio in her arms. quenching out her courago in the bitterest waves of personal suffering. This is no fancy picture. At every step in her career it be comes less possible to maintain tho unequal conflict. Her competitors have marched for before her, while she toils and strives midway on the steep ascent. They have gone on with out intermission; she has had to stop short again and again in her course. With what sickness of heart, with what a weary, hope less senso of the unattainable, and desperate consciousness ol the mistake, she maintains the struggle, only they can tell who have done it, and happily the number is not great. Such is all that a woman has to expect who at tempts to combine the work of a man to which sho has been trained with the common duties of femalo life. ANOTHER Vinw. On the other hand, Ictus suppose that sho puts aside the profession she has acquired and gives herself up to domesticity and wife hood until tho period of child-bearing is over, aud her special responsibilities so far accoui- ilished. This period cannot bo estimated at ess than twenty years. It may be consider ably shorter; it is sometimes longer; but we are not understating the possibilities if we grant that at forty she may consider herself emancipated from woman s natural disabili ties, and may stretch out her hands towards tho tools which she put from her all new and shining at one-and-twenty. Will those tools have improved or will they have deteriorated in the meantime? Will her training of twenty years ago come back all fresh to her memory as if it had been but twenty days? Will the world bo so good as to stand still in the meantime, and keep everything just as it wos in the days of her apprenticeship, that sho may becin again with some chance of success ? Alas, no ! this is precisely what the world will not do. Sho will find her fellow-students a hundred miles ahead of her, and their sons ready to tread on her heels and gibe at her old-world princi ples, bhe will be of tho old scoool before she has even begun to put in practice her rusty knowledge. She will feel in herself the painful consciousness of facnlties blnnted for want of use, and powers numbed by long in action. If she is a wonderful woman, with the energy of half-a-dozen men, she will per haps make a desperate effort, and force her way alongside of some plodding bungler whose indolence or stupidity has left him out ot the race, ihis is the best that can befall her if she adopts this second course, and waits until she can give to her profesion the matured and steady powers of middle age. AN ALTERNATIVE. There is, however, an alternative open to her. She can take a vow of celibacy. She can throw off altogether the yoke of nature, and fit herself to compete with man by con sciously and voluntarily rejecting tho life of woman. Ihis is a possibility which is not to bo rejected with disdain as out of the ques tion. It all is true that wo continually read about tho number of women who cannot marry.it is no unfit question for the more reso lute souls among thum, whether they should not make up their minds that they will not marry, and thus qualify themselves by one severe yet effectual ell'ort for an existence re sembling that of man. By this means alono can they procure for themselves fair play in the world, or a reasonable chance of success in any proiession. uut this is a penalty which perhaps not ono ot all their nude 1 el- low-students would undertake to pay; and it is tho most cruel renunciation which can be exacted from a human crea ture. Thus success in a profession nay, the mere initiatory possibility of success requires from a woman not equality with man, but an amount of intellectual and moral superiority over him which can only be found in the rarest ana most isolated cases, To him the prospect of marriage is the strongest incentive to industry and exertion, To her it is simple ruin, so lar as her work is concerned. If, then, she has the magna nimity and self-devotion to cut herself off from all that is popularly considered happi ness in life from all thai youth most dreams of and the heart most euros forshe is free to enter into and pursue, and very likely will succeed in, a profession which men, with all solaces of love and help of companionship, pursue by her side at not half the cost. l'or- Laps even then, after sho has made this sacri fice, she will find that she is tho pot of earth making hor way among their pots of iron. nnd that their superior physical powers and bolder temperament will carry them beyond her. notwithstanding the superior devotion she has shown and tho price she has paid. But this is the best we can promise her when all is done to (perhaps) succeed as well, at (Le cost of everything, as her competitors v ho go into it with tho commonest of mo- tives and at no cost at all.
