for mine is but the fate of almost every originator or pioneer who
ever has opened up a way. I have the joy of knowing that I showed
it to be possible to publish an out-and-out woman's paper, and
taught other, women to enter in and reap where I had sown.

Heavy debts are still due, every dollar of which I intend to pay,
and I am tugging away, lecturing amid these burning suns, for no
other reason than to keep pulling down, hundred by hundred, that
tremendous pile. I sanguinely hope to cancel this debt in two years
of hard work, and cheerfully look forward to the turning of every

"What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." It was
transformed into a literary and society journal, established in elegant
headquarters at Brooklyn, inaugurated with a fashionable reception, and
conducted by Mrs. Bullard for eighteen months, when she tired of it, or
her father tired of advancing money, and it passed into other hands.

When Miss Anthony had her accounts audited by an expert, he stated that
The Revolution was in a better financial condition than was the New
York Independent at the end of its first five years. She had just begun
to realize her power as a lyceum lecturer and was in constant demand at
large prices. The last two months before giving up the paper, she sent
