JCO THE BEE, OR Jan. I9, 



And what did they do when even Monjlers were em- 

 plojed to deprive them of this right ? Did they ftay at 

 home, mending ftockings, darning gloves, making holes 

 for fleeve-butfons, and quiUing counterpanes ? — No- 

 Sir — they viiitcd ten timesimorel 



Have tliey not the focuii right of preference in all fo- 

 (cieties ? Do they not take precedence of every thing 

 in breeches, every proud he-creature that calls himfelf 

 ^ lord of the Creation ? Have they not the highell 

 right of all — the right of governing their hufljands ? 

 Who dare deny this ? A right, Sir, for v^hich they paid 

 no fniali price; for, to obtain it, and to have leifure 

 and time to exercife it, they gave up another right — 

 the riffht of governing themfelves ! 



Among their civi/ rights, are we not to reckon the 

 right of fcoldiiig, crying, falling into fits, going to wa- 

 tering places, and running up bills ? Shall the haughty 

 ariflocracy of men deny us thefe rights ! 



No — Mr. Baldwin — no — Perifli the ignoble thought 

 — Women, Sir, have rights — and the time will come 

 when the aafwerers of Burke (,1 am told they are all 

 hacbelors or old maidi) fliall be afliamcd of themfelves 

 -^and vie.w us with the gallant eyes of a Burke, " jult 

 riling above the horizon." 



But I beg pardni, Mr. Baldwin — I trouble you with 

 this only becaufe my brotiier Sam will not write on the 

 fubje£l — forfooth he fays we have more rights than we 

 know what to do with— r Well — we are but like others 

 of the libcrtv-mcn of this country who don't know 

 when tiiey are well oft".

On Converfation. 



A GREAT talent for converfation requires at leaft to 

 be accompanied with a great degree of politenefs. He 

 who outfliines others, owes to them a great deal oi po- 

 }ite attention.
