THE EDUCATION OF GIRLS.

The world has veered between two ex-
tremcs in its treatment of women. On

in shining garments, with falling dark lashes
and white bosom half unveiled, lies the
flower of the harem, the slave of the Pasha.
Beauty is her only dover and also her only
duty.
Under hot sun peasant woman, brown
and grimed with work, hoes away in the
field of her lord and master, while lie lazily
smokes his pipe at the door. Or she is har-
messed before cart and draws the turnips,
onions and cabbages to market. The one is
pet and plaything, the other slave. These
arc the types. The variations in individual
cases, may have been marked and wide, but
in all uncivilized or halfciviized countries
they have been comprehended between
these two extremes. Christian nations boas,
to have emancipated themselves from these
ideas, and to have elected woman to hel
proper place. But it is not sufficient TO leav,
the position, equal and yet diverse, whicl
is her right, open for her taking. She mus
be taught what it is, and thus prepared t,
fill it. This preparation begins early in lif

Gone in her childlike purity
Out from the golden day;
rading away from the light so sweet,
Whefe the silver stars and the sunbcams meet,
Over the silent way.
Over the bosom tenderly
The pearl-white hands are pressed;
The lashes lie en- her cheek so thin
where the soitest blush of the rose hath been
shutting the blue of her eyes within
"he pure lids closed to rest,
Over the sweet brow lovingly
Twineth her sunny hair,
She was so fragile that Love sent down
From his heavenly gems that son. bright crown
To shade her brow with its waves so brown,
Light as the dimpling air.
Kobin-hushed in your downy bed
Over the swinging bOugh-
DO you miss her voice from your sad duett,
When the dew in the heart Of the rose Is set,
TIL its velvetlps with the essence wet
In orient crimson glow?
Rosc-bud-under your shady leaf
Hid from the sunny day
Do you miss the glance of the eye so bright,
Whose blue eye was heaven TO your timid sight
1t Is beaming now a world Of light
Over the starry way.
Hearts-whcre the darling's head hath lain,
Held by Loves shining ray
Do you know that the touch of her gentle hand
Doth brighten the heart in the unknown land!
Oh, she waits for us with the angel band
Over the starry way.

A Wild Story.

A remarkable affair of love and
jealousy has recently eliminated at

pearance. The wife of well-known
cigar manufacturer In that town
formed warm attachment, last year,

in the Congregational Church, where
she was the principal singer. The
two were very intimate, and there was
considerable gossip in consequences,
though it is not known that their in,
timacy. reached unlawful limits This
year, the. chorister, was employed by
the Baptist. Church, his friend re-
naming in her former position. He
was polite and attentive to the ladies
In his new choir, and soon reused an
'ex Extraordinary feeling Of Jealousy in
the cigar manufacturers wife. She
sent him large number of anony-
nous letters Ia feigned hands, threat
ening him with all sorts of things if
he did not cease his attention to the
Baptist girls. The matter reached
crisis on Friday of last week, when
the chorister fixed upon her the au-
thorship of the letters, and, in turn,
threatened a public expose, and de-
manded satisfaction. On the same
afternoon, while her husband was alb
sent, the lady wrote letter, telling
him he would never see her again.
and suddenly departed. She was
traced nearly half mile to swamp,
and on Sunday the whole town was
out in search of her. Every possible
means was used to ascertain her fate,
but wholly without result. nor has
she been heard from since. The af-
fair, as may be imagined, has created
a profound sensation in Sufield. The

an unobserved but scrutinizing look
at the stranger,, and, while the Gov
ernor was arranging to pay over the
reward, he secretly got his ear, and
informed him that the hero was a
robber-that he and another savage
rufian had, few days before, robbed
him. Upon this information a war
rant was issued, the hero stranger was
arrested, tried, convicted and con-
demned to be hanged; and on the

Chicago Faro and Keno Hells.
-. [Chicago journal, 25th inst.


AS compared with the police of
other cities, the force of Chicago de-
serves nothing but praise, Our po-
licemen, are, brave and faithful guard
zians of the peace and decorum of the
city, but it is none the less true that
in the matter of suppressing faro and
keno banks they are to be blamed.
These antechambers of hell are un-
lawful and infamous, and should no
more be tolerated than highway.rob-
bery-There are several of them in
the very heart of the city, and of their
existence and operations the authori-
ties cannot heignorants knowledge
of these places is not confined to the
I'M tiated, by any means, but issshared
by the general or business public.
The proprietors and many of the
habitpes of these establishments are
notorious throughout the city, and
enjoy perfect immunity.
j We do not believe our policemen
are debauchedI by bribery as is the
case in some cities, but their neg
ligeneeois due to the fact that they do
not realize the enormity of the gamb-
ling evil. Hundreds of young men,
and some whose heads are sprinkled
with the snow of age, are being led,
step by step, toward the brink of ir-
retrievable ruin by the infatuations
of the gaming table. And we call
upon the police authorities to re-
member that they have duty to per-
form in this matter. and to discharge
it fully, promptly and constantly.
They cannot entirelysremove the evil,
but they can lessen it very materially
But the great responsibility in this,
as in everything, rests chiefly with
the individuals who suffer themselves
to be led astray. Z No amount Of po-
lice vigilance could wholly do away
the evil, and it is equally true that no
person will be caught In the gamblers
tolls unless it be- of his own free will
and accord. If man stakes his
money on. game of chance and
cheat, he does it because he wants to.
There is NO cempulsion, about it ex-
cept moral, or immoral, rather. How
ever strong the temptation, it is not !
irresistible. If one only suffers him.
self to reflect upon the wretchedness, i
first, last, and all the time, of gamb-
ling, he would not be tempted to make
deposits in keno and faro banks. We
are all the arbiters Of our own desti-
MES, however strong may be the pres
sure OF external circumstances. E3Lj
