The Girls of the Present.

1t is terribly significant of the present
state of things when men are free to write as
they do of the women of their own nation
Every word Of censure flung against them is
two-edged, and wounds those who condemn as
those who are condemned for surely it need
hardly be said that men hold nothing so dear
as the honor of their women and that no one
living would willingly lower the repute of his
mother or sisters. 1t is only when these have
placed themselves beyond the pale of mascu-
line respect that such things could be written
as are written when they become again what
they were once they will gather round them
the love and homage and chiyalous devotion
which were then an Englishwoman's natural
inheritance. The marvel, in the present fash
ion of life among women, is how it holds its
ground in spite Of the disapprobation of men.
1t used to be AN old-time notion that the
sexes were made for each other. and that it
was only natural for them to please each other
and to set themselves out for that end. But
the girl of this period does not please men
She pleases them as little as she eleyates
them and how little she does that, the class
of women she has taken as her models of it.
self testities All men whose opinion is worth
having prefer the simple aud genuine girl of
the past, with her tender little ways and pret-
ty, bashiul modestes, to this loud and ram
pant modernization, with her false red hair
and painted skin, talking slang as glibly as a
man, and by preference leading the conyersa-
tion to doubtful subjects She thinks she is
piquaute and exciting when she thus makes
herself the bad copy of worse original; and
she will not see that though men laugh with
her they do not respect her, though they hirt
with her they do not marry her she will not
believe that she is not the kind of thing they
want, and that she is acting against nature
and her own interests when she disregards
their advice and ofiends their taste. We dc
not see how she makes out her account, view
ing her life from any side ) but all we can do
is to wait patiently until the national madness
has passed, aud our women have come back
again to the old English ideal, once the most
beautiful, the most modest, the most essen.

1t was in the year l347 whea Calais was
besieged by Edward III. of England. His
immense army lay without the walls for eleven
long months, watching day and night lest
succor should be brought to the French
while the brave John de Vienne, with cheer
fu courage, sustained the spirits of his garri-
son through all the horrors of famine and
death. Through the days of September and
October they hardly became aware of the
suffering that attends state of siege; for
the castle and forts, well-stored with provis-
ions, supplied the whole town. But day
came when the Governor called upon the old
men, the women, and children, to go out of
the city, that the provisions which still re-
manned might the longer support its defend
ers.
1t was slow, sad and unwilling procession
of 100 persons that passed on that October
morning through the city gates, andapproached
the enemies camp; fearing lest the English
King should drive them back and so cause
more suffering to the friends they had left be-
hind, and yet half hoping that so they might
be justified in returning, Those who remain

A certain king would build cathedral,

he saw in a dream an angel, who came down
and erased his name, and the name of poor
widow appeared in its stead. This was three
times repeated, when the enraged king sum-
moned the woman before him, and demanded,

you broken my commandment {" The trem-

Reckless Speaking.

We have probably all of us met with in
stances in which word heedessy spoken
against the reputation Of female has become
dark enough to overshadow her whole exist
enee. To those who are accustomed--no
necessarily from bad motive, but from
ghtlessness-to speak lightly Of females,
we recommend these hints as worthy of con
sideration Never use lady's name in an
improper time or in mixed company Never
make assertions about her that you think are
untrue, or illusions that you think She herself
would blush to hear. When you meet with
men who do not scrupe TO make use Of a
woman's name in reckless and unprincipled
manner, shun them, for they are the very
worst members of the commuuity-men lost
to every sense of honor, every feeling Of hu.
manty. Many good and worthy woman's
character has been forever ruined, and her
heart broken by a lie, manufactured by some
villain, and repeated where it should moi
have been and in the presence Of those whose
little Judgment could not deter them from cir,
cuating the foul and Dragging report A
SANDER is soon propagated, and the smallest
thing derogatory TO woman's character will
fly on the wings of the wind, and magnify as
it circuates, until its monstrous weight
crushes its poor unconscious yictim.-Respect
the name of woman for your mothers and
sisters are women and as you would have
their fair name untarnished and their liyei
unembittered by the slanderers biting tongue
heed the i'll that your own words may bring
upon the mother, sister or wife of some fell
low creature.

From ihe Galaxy.
THE SHADOW ON THE WALL.
Ny homo a stately dwelling 81,
with lofty nrching DOORS
There Is carving on tho ceilings high,
Aud velvet on the floors
A rich and costly building
Where noisccss servants wait,
And meath the cecutchoon's gliding,
None enter but the great
But happier home j. near IT, humble cottage small
And enyy ts sweet mistress the shadows her wall
My pictures are The pride Of Art,
And drawn ny cunning hands,
But The painted figures never move.
Nor change the painted lands
Before the poorest window
More gorgeous pagcant' glide
Within the lowliest household,
More lifclke groups abide lhal
And turn from soulcss symbols that crowd my gloomy
TO watch the shining shadows upon the cottage wall.
Ny stately husband never bends

Ills honai is in hls iron saic.
Ills Thought. are with his ships
Bet when the twilight eathers
Adovn the dusky street
The little housewife listens
For sounds VI coming f,ot
And 10y the cleaning hrclig ght sec % figure tall
Bend down to Mss q shadow, shadow on the wall.
My garden pnlings broad audhsh
Shut u IT, costly .pons,
Aud through the ordered paths an day
Th'sslleni gardener tolls,
Ny ncighlor's is 1rassplat
with hardy buttcrcup,
Whore childrens dimpled augcr
Pail daudcious up,
Where ha'ya silkon head aii day the .unhcams hl
TIN evening throws lts stuows nuou the cottage wall
My pctted lal-dog, warm aud .on
Nestle. upon my knee
Ms birds have shut their diamond oye.
That love to look tor me-
Lonely, watch my ncighhor
And watching eau but weep
To soc her rock her darlings
Upon her breast asleep.
Alas my doves are 4euue, my dog comes ut nay call,
But there is childish shadow upon my chamber wall
Ny beauty Is the talk Of tools
And by the gaslights glare,
In gliterng dress and cleaning gems,
know that am fair
But there Is something fairer,
Whose charm in loving lies,
And there Is something dearer,
The light ofhappy eyes.
So return triumphant, queen of the brilliant ball,
To envy the sweet shadow Of the housewife the wall
Ny earthly lot il rich and high
And hers Is poor and low
Yet would give my heritage
Her deeper joys to know
For husbands that are lovers
Are in all the lands,
And hearts grow ct for heaven,
Moulded by childish hands
And while go up lonely beiorc the Judge Of ALL
A cherub troop will usher the shadow on the wall
