Perhaps like other maidens I might hold A true heart's store of tried and tested gold. Love waits on Beauty, though sweet Love alone, It seems to me, for aught might well atone. Bat Beauty's charm is strong, and Love obeys The mystic witchery of her shy ways. If I were fair my years would seem so few ; Life would unfpld sweet pictures to my view, If I were fair ! if I were fair !

(Belle Hunt, in Omaha World -Herald.) 1 Old mother heti hatched three little ducks, And she loved them with all her heart, -, Though she thought their web toes were funny for chicks, And resolved she would pull them ap ►rt. ut Puffy cried " cheep !" and Fluffy cried Peep 1" And the powder -bill cried "cluck ! cluck !" Till the kind mother hen let the little toes be, As nature had made the first duck - One day mother hen took a stroll to the pool, With Powder -bill, Fluffy and Puff. When in the three hopped and wont swimming about, • Contented and happy enough. Quack quack " : oried the Mother, " You'll drown, my dear chicks 1" But her answer was three merry clucks. And they saucily said. " mother hen, scratch your head ; Were not chickens, but three little ducks." ARE TOW PERSPIRING? If So, Road This and Be Proud et UMW self.

We are moved to make this remark by the perusal of an article in the Arena in which it is several times suggested that men; and particularly men connected with the press, are really to blame for making the women wear unhealthy and meonvenient garments. We have yet to meet the man who admires the dragging of acostly skirt along the dirty pevemente, nor have we heard any man say that the sight of a woman parading the street holding up a 1 fist -full of calico as she walks is charming to the eye. Indeed, it is past the average man's comprehension that ladies should', have their dresses made 'so long that the holding -up fashion is necessary. • A man who couldn't walk without holding up his trousers would be laughed off the street. Men neither throw away their suspenders nor put frills to their pantaloons. See what women of sense think of these long dresses. )Iiss Frances E. Willard said recently : " She has allowed herself to become a mere lay figure upon which any hump or hoop or farthingale could be fastened that fashionmongers chose ; and eftimes her head is a mere rotary ball upon which milliners may let perch whatever they please—be it bird of paradise or beast or creeping thing. She has bedraggled her senseless long skirts in whatever combina- tion of filth the street presented, submitting to a motion the moat awkward and degrad- ing known to the entire animal kingdom ; t WOMAN'S IIE WAS PREPARED. No Emergency Could Arise Which Could Catch This Young Man Unawares. " Must you go, Sylvanus !" " Lucinda, I must !" Again and again the young husband strained her to his heaving breast and sought to soothe the agitation that shook her frame. " My word is pledged, dearest." ",How came you to give them such a pro- mise ?",she asked, wildly. " At the opening of the season." he re- plied, " I agreed to go .wherever 1 was sent. I never expected to be sent to that place," he added, bitterly, " and made the promise without due reflection, but I am bound by it. I can't crawl out of it now, Lucinda." " Bnt if—if anything' should, happen to you, Sylvanus, what would become of me !" " I am insured in three secret • societies, dearest, fpr a large sum of money. Aly affairs are in good shape. I don't owe a cent to any son of a gun on earth. This house will be yours, and if the worst comes to the worst, yon know, you can go back to your folks." " But=" " And maybe nothing will happen. Do. yon feel that hard substance inside my vest ? Well, that's steel. I've got a whole coat of mail under these clothes. This cap has a steel lining: I can pull down a steel vismeatet will cover all of my face, except the AM. That's got to be .free, of course. And=" " O, Sylvanus, don't go 1" With the utmost tenderness he released himself from her clinging embrace, kissed her once, twice," thrice, tore madly out of . the house, and with a look of iron firm- ness on his pale face he climbed aboard an express train a few minutes later a id was gone. He was on his way to Louisville to um- pire a game•of basebalL—Chicago Tribune. for nature has endowed all others tha carry trains and trails with the power of lifting them without turning in their tracks ; but the fashionable woman pays lowliest obeisance to what follows in her own wake, and, as she does so, cuts the most grotesque figure outside of a jumping -jack. In view of the mania for long skirts, and the settled distemper of bodices abbreviated at the wrong terminus, it strikes me as desirable that the council should utter a deliverance in favor of a sensible, modest, tasteful, busi- nese costume for busy women." Here is another description of the incon- veniences of the long street gown, by Mrs. Ellen B. Dietrich : " It is on the street that woman s present condition is most miserable. The street gown not being . well adapted to pockets, the average woman generally has one hand useless for Emergencies, on account of its burdens ; and when an umbrella must be held in the other, and the mud -bespattered robe first slops miserably wet about its owner's heels, or twists fetteringly about as the wind rises, again, either brushes off filthy curbstones or is gathered too high in its owner's frantic efforts to preserve its original nicety, is it not a spectacle for the goddess of .common sense to weep, over ? But with men wielding that terrible weapon, the press, and occupying that powerful stronghold, the pulpit. ' itis swimming against the current, 'with fearful odds against them, forwomen to undertake anything the masculine half of humanity chooses to call unwomanly,' actuated by purenonsense and • utter inconsistency though it be." Just one more, by Phelps, who says : " When I eee women stay indoors the entire forenoon becausetheir morning dresses trail the ground, and indoors all the after- noon because there comes up a shower, and the walking -dress would soak and drabble ; or when I' see the workingwoman'standin g at the counter, or at the teacher's desk, from day to dark, in the drenched boots and damp stockings which her muddy skirts, flapping from side to side, have compelled, her to endure ; when I see her, a few weeks thereafter, going to Dr. Clarke for treat- ment, as a consequence ; when I find, after the most patient experiment, that, in spite of stout rubbers, water -proof gaiters, and dress skirt three or four inches from the ground, an ' out-of-door' girl is compelled to a general change of clothing each indi- vidual time that she returns from her daily walks in the summer rain ; when I see a woman climbing upstairs with her baby in one arm, and its bowl of bread and milk in the other, and see her tripping on her dress at every stair (if, indeed, baby, bowl, bread, milk and mother do not go down in universal chaos, it is only from the efforts of long skill and experience on the part of the mother in performing that acrobatic feat) ; when physicians tell me what fearful jars and strains these Budden jerks of the' body from stumbling on the dress -hem impose upon a woman's intricate organism, and how much leas injurious to her a direct fall would be than this start and rebound of nerve and muscle, and haw the strongest man would suffer from such accidents ; and when they further assure me of the amount of calculable injury wrought upon our sex by the weight of skirting brought upon the hips, and by thus making the seat of allthe vital energies the pivot of motion and centre of endurance ; when I see women's skirts, the shortest of them, lying (when they sit down) inches 'deep along the. foul floors, which man, in delicate appreciation of our concessions to his fancy in such respects, has inundated with tobacco juice, and from which she sweeps up and carries to her home the gentle, of stealthy pestilences ; when I see a ruddy, romping school -girl, in her first long dress, beginning to avoid coasting on her double -runner, ore afraid of the stone walls in the blueberry fields, or standing aloof from the game of ball, or turning sadly away from the ladder which her brother is climbing to the cherry tree, or begging for him to asalst her over the gunwale of a boat ; when 1 read of the sink- ing of eteamers at sea, with ' nearly all the women and children on board,' and the accompanying commente,' Every effect has made to assist the women up the masts and out of danger till help arrived, but they could not rlir>ab, and wo were forced to love them to their fate ;' or when I hear the wail with which a million lips take up the light words of the loafer on the Portland Wharf, when the survivors of the ' Atlan- tic' filed past him, ' Not a woman among them all ! My God l'—when I consider these things, I feel that I have ceased to deal with blunders in drone and have entered the category of orsanes." 13.A.AL,,s_Aavk CORES, GALLS, SORE SHOULDERS, SCRATCHES, or any WOUNDS on H•O +IE e, EB or CAT ieE Quickly Healed+ ' Speedy Care GUARANTEED if you use 'ICICXAti3 I3AI AM Sent by Mail on rc.eefpt of Price 25 Cents, By C.

" You know I must go early to the Christian Endeavor to- night in order to relieve Nora Horton, who has been at the literary stand ever since 10 o'clock this morning. There will be an awful crowd, but if you push right through, just as if you knew what you wanted, you will get it all right. Those with badgesare generally let in first, and for that reason I think yen had better come a little late—say about 8 o'clock. Ask for the literary table, and there you will find me. Do you hear what I am saying, mother !" Lizzie picked up some books and started for the door. " Law, yea, child 1, You need not fear but I will find you and be there to come home with you, as planned." I would not think of allowing you to go alone, mother ; but it is not dark at 8, and you are not afraid, are you? " asked Lizzie. " No, no. How you do bother your head. I am old enough to take care of my- self, Lord knows, 79, and is only five blocks away. I'll be there, never fear, for I am determined to eee what the Christian people have been doing these last ten years to benefit the nation." Eight o'clock came, and Mrie, Brennox, remembering Lizzie'a instructions, pushed right through the crowd, " just as if she knew what she wanted." A man did pull at her dress and say : "Hey, madamwhere is your ticket ? " but she heeded him, not and continued elbowing ,her way until she found herself in a bril- liantly lighted room, crowded so with people that not a seat could be found. Other lades =were' standing and Mrs. Brennox did not seem to mind doing the same. She leaned against the railing that ran back of some seats, and there stood for three hours, her eyes riveted on the scenes displayed in the oppoeite side of the room. " So this is Christian Endeavor," she thought. I imagined it would be more like an old-time prayer meeting. I feel as if I was dead and was in the sky looking down on a lifetime of people. . I wonder where the'Christianity comes in ? If this is a ser- mon I got in too late to get the text. Per- haps that is why I don't -understand it better." The scenes changed one after another, but she lost not one, word said, nor missed a movement made. " I have learned one thing, auyway," she continued. '•I'11 be more considerate to the unfortunate and judge less harshly my own people from -this night oat. It is a new way to preach, but now I understand perfectly just how they are teaching the vices and v:itues of people with whom we are to live. Duplicity and cunning are obliged to '"show their faces to us here. I don't much like to see those girls jump about like that without any clothes on. Yet I suppose times have changed mach since I went out, and if the Christian Endeavor take this way of teach- ing us the right and wrong of life, it, must be all proper, but it does seem a quer way to give as a lesson. I suppose thoae girls are all Sunday school teachers. • No doubt but I am Puritanical It is the finest thing I ever saw, but so unexpected. • To assure herself that she was not dream- ing, she touched the young man standing next her and asked if they were really and truly in Madison Garden: " Yea, • madam," he replied. Then she thought she wonld see the affair through, dresses or no dresses on the Sunday school teachers. When the ship went down in the last scene, and she saw the water smoothe itself over the wrecked ship, and. afterwards the angels, with their bright wings, hovered near, searching for their dear ones, ehe broke down and cried with all her heart. " That was the finest sermon I ever heard in my life, and I don't feel one bit tired ; but where is Lizzie ? Young man, can you tell me where the literary table is ?—the table where they ate Felling the Christian Endeavor books ?" The ticket man replied that she must go next door for those.' ' " Next door ! you say, then what is this ?" " This is the Garden Theatre,' Madam." " Mother ! mother ! where have you been ?" cried Lizzie, clasping her about the neck and kissing her frantically. " I went home front the meeting and learned you had started about 8. Oh, dear ! I have gone like mad three times around this square and—" " Sh ! daughter," said the mother, " I have been to the theatre for the first time in my life. I stood °up three hours, per- fectly enraptured with what I thought the sayings and doings as well as preach. ings and teachings of God's c;toicest people." " Mother, you've seen ' Sinned.; " was all Lizzie said, but one could hear the con- tinued happy laughter of the two as they wended their way homeward.—C. M. W., in Seto. York News.

Elizabeth Stuart ( CUICILLESS /WIVES. A Yankee Judge Says oinething Tart Obi' the Subject. That growing class of women who have no use for children may find something interesting in some remarks of Judge Gart- ner, of the Wayne circuit court, in a divorce case that eame before him a hew days ago. The husbands of such women may find cnune for gratification in the same comment of his honor. The judge eaid : " Practi- cally, the object of marriage in children. Now, a woman is not obliged to have chil- dren, but if she does not desire a family she cannot compel a husband who does to live with her. She cannot say, 'I will have no children," and c ►mpel her partner to carry out the legal obligations which the law imposes on him b reason of the marital contract. Such a positsion, taken by the wife, has been held a good and sufficient cause for divorce. t is a rale recognized by many of the law writers, and while it seldom arises, it is no less the law, and, to my mind, founded upon good reason."

The British Consul, at Santos, Brazil, has submitted a report concerning the British immigrants to that country who met with such utter failure and suffered such a run of pitiable misfortunes a short time ago. Many of theimmigrants died el fever, and all who managed to live became utterly destitute and were returned to England by the charity of the English people.

Officers of the ohl Indian flotilla tell with straight faces that t.eey have known the thermometer to register 200 degrees in the sun at Bushire on the Persian gulf. Though the testimony is givenin good faith, its correctness seems incredible, because water under such a sun would reach within 12 degrees of the boiling point.
