Woman as a Motive Power.


What a wonderful solution TO lfe's en-
igma there is in pettcoat government
Man might lie in the sunshine and eat
loiuses, and fancy it 'always afternoon,
il bis wife would let him But she
won't, bless her impulsiye heart and ac
tive mind She knows better than that.
VITO ever heard or woman taking life
as it ought to be taken. Instead of sup
porting it as an unavoidable nuisance
only redeemabe by its brevity, she goes
through it as if it were a pageant or "a
procession. She dresses for it, and sim
pers, and grins, and gesticulates for it.
Size pushes her neighbors, and struggles
for good place in the dismal march ;
she elbows, and writhes, and tramples.
and prances to the one end of making
the most Of the misery. She gets up
early and sits up late, and is loud, and
restless, and noisy, and IMPLYING. She
drags her husband on to the woolsack
or pushes him into parliament. She
drives him full butt at the dear, lazy ma
chinery of government, and knocks and
Bullets him about the wheels, and cranks,
and screws, and pulleys; until some
body, for quiet's sake makes him some.
thing that she wants him TO be made.
Thst's why incompetent men son times
sit in high places. and interpose their
poor muddle iutellects between the things
to be done and the people that can do
them, making universal confusion in the
helpless innocence of well-planned inca
pacity. The square men in the round
holes are pushed into them by their
wives. The Eastern potentate who de-
clared that women were at the bottom
Of all mischief, should have gone little
farther and seen why it is so. 1t is be-
cause women are never lazy. They
don't know what it is TO be quiet. They
are Semiramides, and Cleopatras, and
Joan of Arcs, Queen Elizabeths, and
Catherine the Seconds, and they liot in
battles, and murder, and clamor and des-
peration. If they can't agitate the
universe and play at ball with hemis-
pheres, they'll make mountains of war
fare and vexation out Of domestic mole
hills, and social storms in household
teacups. Forbid them to hold forth up
on the freedom of nations and the wrongs
of mankind, and thNy'll quarrel with
Mrs. Jones about the shape of mantle
or the character of small naid servant.
To call them the weaker sex is to utter
hideous mockery. They are the strong
er sex, the noisier, the more persevering,
the more self-assertive sex. They want
freedom of opinion, variety of ofoccupation,
do they? Let them have it. Let them
be lawyers, doctors, preachers, teachers,
soldiers, legislators,-any they like
but let them be quie,---if they can.

The PRIEST SILENcED.-A Romish
priest was once talking to a clever boy,
belonging to his parish, who had been
attending Protestant school in the neigh
borhood. The priest tried TO persuade
him to give up his testament and pray to
the Virgin to take care of him, and keep
him from danger and harm. Phase yer
riverence," said the boy, / read in the
Gospel that when the Virgin was on
earth, in going home from Jerusalem she
lost her son. She couldn't tell where he
had gone, and twas three days before she
found him. Now, if she couldn't take
better care than that of her own child.

The DoG-TAx.-Some have the i'm
pression that the new dog law in this
State imposes a tax of 81 per head up
on all dogs but this is not correct.
Dogs are set in the list at a valuation
so that the tax on each dog, in some
towns, will be S3, or more, and 10 none
will it be so low as 81.

WARMTH.-The best fire in winter is
made up of exercise, and the poorest OF
whisksy. He that keeps warm on liquor
is like man who pulls his house to pie
ces to feed his fire place. The prudent
and temperate use of liquor is to lei it
alone. If you don't touch it, it certainly
won't hurt you; he that says there is no
danger, boasts that he is more than other
men.
