NIGHT.-Night is beautiful itself, but
still more beautiful in associations. 1t is
not linked, as day is, with our cares and
our toils-the business and littleness of
life. The sunshine brings with it action
we rise in the morning, and our task
is before US; and night comes, and with
it rest If we leave sleep, and ask not
of dreams forgetfulness, our waking is in
solitude, and our employment is thought.

PETTICoATs TEsT-Mrs. Swisshelm,
editress of the Pittsburgh Saturday Visi-
tor, makes petticoats a test of Woman
hood, and will hear of no compromise or
coalition with the other sex, except upon
the entire abandonment by the ladies Of
the pantaloons.
Mrs. Swisshelm defines her position in
an article commenting upon Mrs. Fanny
Kemble's reported appearance in public
places a!tired like man. The following
is an extract from her protest;
"But we cannot still believe she dresses
really like man. If we did we should
think very little of her. Most likely, her
rambling, fishing, exercise costume, so
much talked about, is eomo fanciful imi-
tation of boys Notwithstanding like
the short dresses and drawers worn by
misses. Mrs. Butler certainly has too
much sense-too much taste-to appear
in strait coat and pantaloons. Our long
wide skirts are indeed a great impeachment
in rural exercises. We have often felt
this in walking through wet grass, getting
over fences, and clamberng round rocks.
A short dress, and some substitute for pan
falcons, would be great convenience iii
such excursions, provided costume Were
sufficiently marked and distinguished from
mems apparel. 1t would be too humiliat-
ing to be met and mistaken for man.
We should great deal rather be arrest
ed for sheep thief, we shall use all our
influence to preserve mans right to his
pantaloons inviolate. They ought 20 be
his. and his only, for they are too ugly
for any body else to wear.
s'But the best distinction between the
sexes is the beard. Why do not all men
wear the beard or some part OF it! A
smoothly shaved or beardless man meets
our ideas just about as well as square
shouldered shingle-shaped woman meets
our notions of womanhOod. There is very
little difference between the mental for
nation IF man and woman. still there is
difference; but the physical structure
is another matter. Nature has made the
lines of difference marked and strong, and
the more perfect the development of eth.
er, the greater the dissimilarity. AVenus
with the muscles OF a Hercules would be
a fright. Art should not interfere with
Natures arrangements. Let men look
like themselves, and women like women
Let them keep their distinct apparel
their strength and their ughness in wei.
come Nobody wants either, unless, in
deed, Mrs Butler has taken fancy to
their clothes; and if she has, she should
be court martialed, and deprived of hel
woman's commission"

The cold wind swept the mou'tans height
And pathless was the dreary wlld,
While mid the cherries tours OF night,
A mother wandered with her child;
As through the drifteI snow they pressed,
The babe was Sleeping on her breast.
And colder stp the winds did blow,
And darker hours of night came on,
While deeper grew the drifts of snow,
Her liMbs were chilled, hersrength was gone;
"Oh, God!' she cried, in accents wild,
eff must perish, save my child"
She stripped her mantle from her breast,
And barred her bosom to the storm,
While round her child she wrapped the vest
And smiled TO think that it was warm
With one cold kiss, one tear she shed
And INK upon her snowy bed.
At dawn a traveller passed by,
And saw beneath the snowy veil,
The frost Of death was in her eye
Her cheeks were cold, and hard, and pale.
He moved the robe from off the child
The babe looked up and sweety smiled.

An incident, however, occurred, which cannon
he described, vet which will be remembered by all
who saw and felt it,
In December, 1921, Mr.. Blake, with his wife

Green mountains in Vermont, in sleigh.

wild and thick did the snow fall that The horse

determined to seek aid at the first house, and pro
tecting his wife and child, started off. Soon the
cold numbed him, and he fell, unable to move.
His wife as is supposed, alarmed at his absence
quit the sleigh and determined to seek him. when
within thirty rods of him, she was overcome
Knowing her fate, she stripped herself oil the thick

and in a cold snow blanket as her winding sheet
died.
In the morning, travellers passing that way, dis
