The Bible sa s it is not good for man to be alone, but ever says it is not good for womaa to be alonet'aild the simple fact is that m y women who are ; harnessed for life in he marriage! rola,- tion would be a tho sandfold bet off If they were alone. inieortnna e wives. Who are these men who year --after year hang eround hotels nd engine houses and theater doors, an Come in and out to bother busy clerks and. raerclatuite and. nicely:irons, doing not s-ing, when there is plenty to do? They men supported by s I : their WiVeS and mothers. If the statistics of may our cities coed' be- taken On this 4 subject, you would dthat a vast multi- tude of women not nly support them- selves, but masculines. A great legion of . "men amount to nothing, and !a woman by marriage manacled to one of these nonentities needs condolence. A woman standing ocitside the marriage relation is several hundre'd thousand times bettor off than a woman badly married. Many a bride instead of a wreath of orange blos- soms might more properly wear a bunoti of nettles and nightshade, and instead of the wedding march a in re a,ppropriate tune -would be the deadm le in "Saul," and instead of a banquet r confectionery and ices there might be ore appropri- ately spread a table cover with, apples of Sodom. I Many an attractive woman of good sound sense in other things has married one of these men to reform him. What was the result? Like when a dove, node- ing that a vulture was raped us and cruel, set about to reform it, and said, "I have a mild disposition and I like peace and was, brought up in the quiet of a dove -cote, and I will bring the vulture to the same liking by marrying him." So one day, after the vulture declared he would give up his carnivorous habits and. cease longing for blood of flock and herd; tan altar of rock covered with moss and lichen, the twain were married, a bald headed eagle officiating, the vulture seer -- lug, "With an my dominion of earth and sky I thee endow and promise to love and cherish till death do us part." but ono day thedove in her fright saw the vul- ture busy at a carcass and dried: "Stop that! Did you not promiseme that you would quit your carnivorous and filthy ha,bits if 1 inarried you?" "Yes," said the vulture, "but if you don't like my way you Can leave," and with one angry stake of the beak and enother force clutch of the claw the -vulture left the dove eyeless and wingless and lifeless.; And, a flock of robins flying past cried tol *soh other and said: "See there! That) comas from a dove marrying a vulture t� reform him!" Many a woman who has had the hand of a young inebriate offered, but declined it, Or who was asked to-ohain her life to a mail selfish or of bad temper and re- fused the shackles, will bless God through - out all eternity that she escaped that , earthly parelenioniurn. :. • Decreed to Celibacy. Besides all this, in our couutry about 1,000,000 men were sacrificed in our civil war, and that decreed 1,000,000 women to celibacy. Besides that, since the war several arnues of men as largo as the Federal and Confederate armies put to- gether have fallen uncterrnalt liquors and distilled spirits so full of poisoned ingre- dients that thework was done more rapid- ly, and the victims fell while yet young. And if 50,000 , men are destroyed -every year by strong drinkbeforernarriag,e that makes in the 88 years since the war 1,650,000 men slain and dcarees 1,650,- 000 women to celibacy. Take, then, the fact that so many women are unhappy in their marriage, and the fact that the slaughter of 2,550,000 men by war and ruin conibined decides that at least that number of women shall be unaffianted for life, nay text mines in with a cheer and & potency and appropriateness that you may never have seen in it before when it says, "Every wise woma,n build- eth her house" -that is, lot woman be her own architect, lay out her Own blans, be her own supervisor, achieve ' her own destiny. In addressing those women who have to fight the battle alone, I congratulate you on your laappy escape. Rejoice forever that you will not have to oavigato the faults of the other sex when you have faults enough of your own. 'Think of the bereavements you avoid, - of the risks of unassimilated tower which you will not have to run, of the cares you will never Ineve to parry and of the opportunity of outside usefulness from which marital life would have partially debarred. you, and. that you are free tp go and coine as ono who has the reeponsibilities of a household can eadom be. God has not given you a hard lot as compared with, your sisters: Whet). young women shall make up thela minds at the start that, masculine com- panionship is not a necessity In order to happiness and that there is a strong probabilit'y that they wip have to fight the battle of life alone, they will be get- ting the timber ready for their own for- tune and their saw and ax and plane sharpened for its construction, . since "every wise woman buildebh her house." • Should Learn Self Support. 'As nobody ought to be brpught up without learning some business at. which - he could earn a livelihood, so no girl ought to be brought up without learning the spience of self-support. The difficulty is that many a family goes sailing on the high tides of success and the husband and father depends on his own health and acumen for the welfare of his household. But one day he gets his feet wet, apd in three days pneumonia has closed his life, and the daughters are turned out on a cold world to earn bread, and there Is nothing practical that they can do. The friends como in ond hold consultation. "Give musie lessons." sass an outsider. !.

My advice to all girls and all unmar- ried women, whether in affluent homes or in homes where mnst -stringent econ- OlniOS are grinding, hi to le/mein do some kind of work that the World must have whilca the World stands. I am glad to see a marvelous change ; tor the better and that women have found out thet there are hundreds of practical things that a won= can do for a ;living if she begins soon enough, and that ineh have been compelled to admit it. You and I can re- member when the majoirty of eccupations „were though b inappropriate for women, but our civil war came, and the bests of mbn went forth from north and south and to conduct the biesinest of our cities during the patriotic absence women wore demanded by the tens of thousands to take the vaeant places, and inultitudes of women, who had been hitherto supported by fathers and brothers and sons, were compelled from that time to take care of themselves. From that time a mighty cbange took place favorable to female em- ployment. 1 Appropriates Occupations. Among the occupations appropriate for woman I place the following, lag many of whieh she hat alreedy entered and all the others sho wil enter: Stenography, and you may find. her At nearly all the -reportorial stands in ;our educational, political and roligioue meetings.

As postmistressos, and presidents. have given them appoint-. ments all over the land.

As physicians, having graduated after a regular course of study from. the - feraale colleges of our large cities, where they get ,as scientific and thorough preparation as any doctors eyor had-ancl go forth to a work which no one but women could so appropriately and delicately do. On the ' lecturing platform, for you know the brilliant success of Mrs. Livermore And Mrs. Hallowell and Miss Willard and Mrs. Lathrop As physiological lecturers to their own sex, for which service there' is a demand appalling and terrific. As preachers of the gospel; and all the pro- tests of ecclesiastical courts cannot hinder them, for they have a pathos and a power in their religious utterances that men can never reaoh.

I have seen two sad sights, the one a woman in all the glory of her young life, stricken by dis- easeand in a week lifeless in a home of , which she had been the pride. As her • bands were folded over the still heart and her eyes closed for the last slumber and she was taken out amid the lamentations of kindred and friends I thought that - was a sadness immeasurable. But I have seen something Compared with which Shat scene was bright and songful., It was a young woman who had been all her days amid wealthy surrmindings by the visit of death and bankruptcy to the household turned out on a cold world ' without one lesson about how to got food or shelter and into the awful whirlpool of city life, where strong ships have gone down, and for 20 years not one word has been heard from- ber.

If, under the pressure of unre- warded and unappreciated worloyour hair Is w.hltening and the weinkles come, rejoice that you are nearing the hour of escape from your very bit fatigue. The daughter of a regiment in an, army is all surrounded by bayonets of defense, and in the battle, whoeverefiells, she is kept safe. 'And you are the daugh- ter of the regiment commanded by the Lord of Hosts. After all, you are notlight- ing the battle of life alone. All heaven is on your side. You will be wise to appro- priate to yourself the words of sacred rhythm: Much of the time spent in young ladies' seminaries in studying what are called the "higher branches" might bet- tor bS expanded in teaching them some- thing Int whicli they (multi support them- selves.

The world will always want something to wear and something to eat,,And shelter and fuel for the body, and knowledge for the mind, and religion for the soul. And all these things will continue to be the necessaries, and if you fasten your ener- gies upon occupations and professions thus related, the world will be unable to do without you. Remember'that in pro-. porbion as- you are skillful in anything your rivalries become less. For unskilled toil there are women by the millions. But you may rise to where there are only thousands, .and stifl .higher till there are only 100, and atill higher tilt there are only 10, and still higher, in someepartiou- lar department till there is only a unit, and that yourself. For awhile you may keep wages and it place threugh the kindly sympathy of an employer, but you will eventually get no more coMpensation than you can make yourself worth. Letane say to all women who have al- ready entered upon the battle of life that the time is c•oniing when women shall not only get as much salary and•wages as men get, but for certain styles of employ- ment women will have higher salaty and more wagesofor the reason that for some styles of work they have more adaptation. But this justice will come to woman not hroue because woman Is physically weaker than man, and therefore ought to have more 0Onsideration shown her, but because through her finer natural taste and more grace of manner -and gulicker perception and more delicate touch and more edu- cated adroitness she will, in certain call- ings, be to her employer worth 10 per cent. more or 20 per cent. more than. the other sox She will not get it by asking for it, but by earning it, and it shall be hors by lawful conquest. Now, men of America, be fair and give' the women a chance. Are you afraid that they will do some of your work•and hence harm your prosperities? Remember that • there are scores of thousands of men do- ing women's work. Do not be afraid. God knows the end from the beginning, and he knows how many people this world can feed and shelter, and when it gets too ull he will end the world, and if need be start anOther. God will halt the inventive' faculty, which, by pkoduc- ing a maehine thtit will do the work of 10 or 20 dr 100 men and women, will leave that number of people without work.

Last spring, 111 She OW of New York, occurred ono of the most remarkable funerals ever witnessed. The hearse was 'attended by sixty pall -bearers, ansi each man of the sixty owed his life under God, to the ministration' 'of dm they bore. Behind the hearse walked eight handred men in line, hardly one of whom but was indebted to the deadman for his ability to be there. Two hundred and ninety-three carriages followed, and these in turn were atteuded by a large number of people on foot. This man was a simple -east side phy- sioian, whose patients were = dwellers in the tenement districts, and whose mourn ers vvere the poor to whom he had, Min- istered; *Doctor Aronson opened, at his own -ex- pense, a hospital for 0012011MptivisS in the poorest nart of the city, and threw him - melt heart ansi soul into the weak of alle- viating the distresses of friendless patients Once he was taken, down with blood - poisoning, centriteted from a patient, and for weeks lingered between life.and death. Theri- a wonderful and beautiful sighb was seen. Hundreds dame daily; to inquire for the goodephysician. -Scoreseof people knelt together in the open air arolind his doorstep, and prayed aloud for his recov- ery. When he recovered, he said he Would gladly undergo the same again to again savetilast A .; came a day when, upon his re- turn from a call on a poor patient, this good man dropped dead upon the side- walk near his own doorstep, his end thus coining, just as he had tong hoped and prayed that it might come. The.end came, we have said. 1 But who oan'predicate an end to a life so filled with the splrit of Him who was pre-emin- ently the Helper and Healer of men? Not to to Be Trusted at All. o speohil Motheaten, as to the charac- ter of the liquor and saloon business in general, is the fact that in timed of pub- lic disorder it is , almoat the invariable practice of the authorities to close up the drink shops as seen as possible. Such action has been taken in Chicago, Pitts- burg, and other cities in recent years in times of mob violence. So in the recent troubles in Johannesthrg, South Africa, one of the first movements of the officials was to close every saloon, compensate the. owners for their stock,. sod then destroy the Uglier by pouring it on the ground. All such action as difie forces the thought upon the mind as tooethe wisdom and rightfulness of giving public Sanction at any time through license laws to a busi- ness which is admittedly of sugh a den! gorous character that it cannot be per- mitted. to exist in times of public, excite- ment: It would appear obvious that a traffic wnich cannot be trusted at such times ought not be trusted at all.
