True FreedOn-TIOw to Gain it.

by CHARLES MAcKAY.
We want no flag. no Haunting flag.
For Liberty to fight,
We want no blaze Of murderous guns
To struggle for the right.
Our spears and swords are printed words;
The mind our battle plain
We've won such victories before,
And SO VIC shall again.
We love no triumphs sprung Of force
They stain her brightest cause;
'Tis not in blood that Liberty
Inscribes her civil laws.
She writes them on the peoples heart,
In language clear and plain
Tue thoughts have moved the world before,
And SO they shall again.
We yield to none in earnest love
OF Freedoms cause sublime:
We join the cry, "Fraternity !"
We keep the march of Time.
And yet we grasp no pike nor spear,
Our victories TO obtain,
We've won without their aid before,
And so we shall again.
We want no aid of barricade,
To show u front Of wrong,
We have citadel in Truth,
More durable and strong.
Calm words, great thoughts. un6lnehins faith
Have never striven in vain
They've won our battle many time,
And so they shall again.
Peace, progress, knowledge, brotherhood
The ignorant may sneer,
The bad deny, but we rely
To see their triumph near.
No widows groan shall load our cause,
No blood Of brethren slain,
We've won without such aid before,
And 90 we shall again,

WOman's Rights.

Samuel Smith sat al home on New Years
day in dishabille. HIS beard was unshaved,
his hair uncombed his long boots un-
blacked he was leaning back in pictur-
esque attitude, with his heels against the
mantle-piece smoking a cigar. Samuel
thought 10 himself that as it was leap year,
it would be glorious IL the ladies would pop
the question in accordance with their an
cient privileges.
As be sat watching the smoke which
curled 50 gracefully, bis fancy glowed with
the idea, how delightful it would be to have
the dear creatures fondling him, and with
their tender glances endeavoring to do the
agreeable.
As he meditaied his heart softeAed, and
be began to feel squeamish, womanish sen
sibility difused over his feelings, and he
thought he would faint with propriety the
first time lady squeezed bis hand.
Rap, rap, rap, sounded the door. Sam
uel peeped through the Venitian blinds.
@Mercyl" exclaimed he, @if there isn't
Miss Jones--and in dishabille, and look

He lel the room Miss Jones entered,
and with composed air minated that she
could wait. She was a firm believer in
woman's right, and now that the season was
prOpitiOus, she determined to take the ad-
vantage Of Il, and do little courting on her
own book II was one Of woman's privileges
which had been usurped BY the tyrant man,
and she determined to assert her rights in
spite Of the hollow formalities Of the false
fystem Of society.
On Sans return to the roOm,, she ex-
claimed:
"Dearest, how beautiful you look" se-
cOmpanying her words with a glance Of
undisguised admiration. aa
@Spare the bushes Of a modest young
man." said Sam, applying the Cambrie to
bis face to hide his confusion.
'.Nay, my love, why so coy = said Susan,
''tur9 not away those beautiful eyes, dark
asjet, but sparkling as the diamond. Lis.
tsnto the vows Of affection. Here let US
rest said she, drawing him to a sofa ;
ahere, with my hand around thee, will

profess my true affection"
'sLcave me, oh, leave me % murmured
Samuel, stink Of my youth and inexpe-
rience-spare my palpiiating heart" e.
"Leave thee p said Susan, pressing him
closer 10 her @never! until the story Of
restless nights Of unquiet aspiration, fond
emotions and undying love is laid before
thee. Know That for years have suffered

The overwhelming feelings of the deli

from excess Of joy. Meanwhile the enam-
Ored maiden hung fondly over him, and
Slowly the eyes of Samuel Smith opened
