womcn iu Former ri,,, es.

From the subversion of the Roman Empire
to the fourteenth or fifteenth century,
women spent most Of their time alone, al.
most entirely strangers to the joys Of social
life; they seldom went abroad but to be
spectators Of such public diversions and
amusements as the fashion Of the times coun-
tenanced. Francis l. was the first who
introduced women on public days In Court;
before his time nothing was to be seen in
any Courts Of Europe but grey bearded pol
iticians, plotting the d struction of the rights
and liberties OF mankind, aud warriors clad
in complete armor ready to put their plans
in execution.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth ccntu-
ries, elegance scarcely had an existence, and
even cleanliness was hardly considered lau-
dable. The use of linen was not known,
and the most delicate Of the fair sex wore
woollcn shifts. In Paris, one hundred IL
vres-about twenty five dollars-was a
large "portion" for young lady.
In the reign Of Henry VIII, Of England,
the peers Of the realm carried their wives
behind them on horseback when they went
to London; and in the same manner they
took them back to their country seats, with
hoods of.xaxcd linen oyer their heads, and
wrapped in mantlss Of cloth to secure them
from the cold.

WOMEN BoRN TO DO ruE LovING.-Thal
Nature has ordained love as wonan's talk
more than mans, is thus declared by late
moralist: "With man, love is never q
passion of such intensity as with woman
She ia creature of sensibility, existing only
in the outpourings and sympathies Of her
emotions. Every earthly blessing, nay,
every heavenly hope, win be sacrificed for
her affections. She will leave the sunny
home Of her childhood, the protecting roof
of her kindred-forget the counscls Of her
sire, the adnonishing voice Of that mother
on whose bosom her head had been pilowed
do all that women can do consistently
with honor-forsake all that she has clung
to in her eirlish simplicity for years, and
throw herself into the arms Of the man she
idolizcs. He that would forsakea woman
after these testimonies Of affection, is too
gross villain to be called man." We
don't know anything about it. but suppose
the writer ought to know what he or she is
talking about.

Bitterness Unparalleled.
Tho most ferocious specimen Of moral
gall we ever encountered, is the followin:
language used by John Randolph, Of Roam
okc, toward Henry Clay, in secret session
of the Senate, in 1895, which led to chal.
lenge and bloodless duel-Randolph firin:

This man-(mankind I crave your par.
don)-this worm-(little animals, forgive
the INSULT )--was spit out Of the womb Of
weakness was raised to higher life than
he was born to, for he was raised to the
society Of black. guards. Some fortune,
kind to him, cruel to MS, has tossed him
into the Secretaryship Of State. Contempt
has the property Of descending, but she
stops far short Of him. She would die be-
fore she would reach him: he dwclls below
her fall. would hate him il did not
despise him. 1t is not what he is but
whers he is, that puts my thoughts in &C
ton. The alphabet that writes the name
7heresites, Of lack-guards, squalidity, re.
fuses her letters for him. That mind which
thinks Of what it cannot express, can scarce
ly think Of him. An hyperbole for m.an-
ness would be an elliysis for Clay

stranger is surprised in London by some OF
the signs, which have been handed down for
generations, which are used to distinguish
particular places Of business. Many of them
are perfectly unmeaning, but are coIlup-
tons Of the original signs. A public house
was called The Bag of Nails which was
derived from the old name, The Baccha.

from The Bologne Gate as the place was

ADAM AND EvE.-We never thought Of
that. Adam never played marbles He
never played hockey lie never drove a
tandem of boys with a string lie never
skated on pond or played ball. or rode
down hill on a hand-sled. And Eve, she
never made play house she never took
ate with another little girl from the little
tea table set out with the toy tea things !;
she never rolled hoop, or jumped rope,
or pieced baby quilt, or dressed doll.
They never played blind mans buff or
pussy wants a corner or 'hurly burly,' or
any Of the games with which childhood has
disported itself ever since. How Flank
their lives must have been, wherein no
memories Of early youth came swelling ur
in their hearts, no visions of early childhood
floating back from the long past; no moth
er's voice chanting a. lullaby to the ear Of
fancy in the still hours Of night; or no
fathers word of kindness speaking from
the church yard whore he sleeps Adam
and Eve, they alone Of all the countless
millions Of men and women that have lived, !,
had no childhood.

One man has had fences, gates, aiiN

occupies time in driving them out. The
pigs creep through the holes. The hor
scs get away. The boys and men and ser
wants and dogs are kept on the run aftci
roguish cows and jumping horses and
climbing hogs. The stock becomes un
easy, and does not thrive. The crops sro
injured. The fences are broken down
Time is CONSUMED. The trouble, is, that
man has hole in his pocket. Ono tl,a,.
has no sheds, nor barn, nor granaries, uni
tool-houses His grain is much injured and
the damp weather molds it. His potatoes
rot. His pumpkins are destroyed. His
fruit does him but little good. His tDo,s
are rottcd and rusted in the open weather.
His stock is chilled and stuntcd for want Of
shelter. His trouble is hole in his pock

much of the fruits Of his hard labor. .-
One man has poor plows Of the .enile
stamp of his ancestors. He cannot afford
modern plow. He does not believe i,i

scientific fools. Drills are hnmbug-.
Deep plowing would spoil the land. SO he

One man does not take a paper; cannot
afford it; has no time to read; does not be.

best; denies all the stories he has heard
from rumor about large cattle and crops and
profits; does not believe in new notions
For forty years he has planted his corn on the
same ground; sown wheat in the same neldi
pastured the same land. He has heard oil

it means, nor cares to know. A bad hole
has this man in his pocket.

~ GLoRlous EPlrAPH.-On a grave stone in
New London, Ct, appears the following in
scription. The records of ancient Greece
or Rome do not exhibit nobler instance of
patriotic heroism:
''On the goth of October, 1881, 1000 Eng.
lsAmen fell onthe town with fire and sword.
A line of powder was then laid from the
magazine Of the fort to the sea, there to BIZ
lighted-thus to blow the fort high into the
air.
Wm Hoffman, who lay not far distant,
wounded by three strokes of the bayonet in
his body, bcheld it and said to one of his
wounded friends: 1--WE will endeavor to
crawl to this line. We will completely wet
the powder with our blood Thus will we
with the little life that remains to us, save
the fort and magazine; and perhaps few
comrades who are only wounded" He
alone had strength to accomplish the noble
task.
In his thirtieth year he died on the pow
der he overAowed with his blood. His
friends and seven Of his wounded compan-
ions, by that means, were preserved"
After this simple narrative, are the fol-
lowing words in large characters:
''HERE RESTS WILLIAM HorNAN."

Having seen it stated that Senator Douglas
had received the appointment Of Brigadier
General, I asked the President If il were 80.

Good Camp story.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Herald
writing from Perrysville, says; ......... a
"A laughablc incident occurred in camp
on the night that Sherman's battery passed
through here. The soldiers are not allowed
to drink liquor, but buy it whenever they
can. While Shermsn's horses were being
embarked the men had liberty to stroll
about. They all wear long, heavy sabros.
1t was after dark. One of them had been
to tavern outside the camp limits, and had
filed his canteen with the villainous mixture
Of camphene and strychnine known
in this locality as 'whiskey. On coming
in the lines the setitry challenged him, and
put his musket across the path to bar his
progress. With motion as quick as light
ming the artilleryman grasped him tightly
by the throat. His useless musket dropped
from his nerveless grasp. The artilleryman,
still holding him by the throat, with the left
hand d,ew from his girdle q long and sharp
knife, which glittered in the light Of the dis
tant watchfire before the eyes Of the terrifi-
ed sentry. The latter sank upon his knees
in paroxysm of terror. He would have
begged for mercy, but he could not speak.
Suddenly the artilleryman hurled him
from him, caught up the gun and broush,
it to charge.

The sentry took a long and deep drausht,
and the regular passed on. Soon after,
when the relief guard came around, they
found the sentry in condition not easily
