So surprised was I with these figures,
that 1 went to. a lady who moves
among those who call themselves
"fashionables," to learn her views.
She made her figures at my request,
and said: ga very nice outfit could
be had for $4,000; and that $1,000
would do very well indeed" 1 was
.consOled, for many of my friends have
daughters. She told me, however, that
a very fine persOn-Miss L.-had
just been married, "who was worth,
as she stood at the altar, $25 OO0."
1t is quite certain--and every honest
woman will agree with me-that the
spending of money does not insure hap
piness. It is quite certain that the SUI
perb wardrobe I have heretofore set
down, does not in a perceptible degree
insure a blissful marriage; that wealth
even does not insure it in any known
degree and yet these influences are
poisoning society, and driving people
into strange courses; one of which
leads to vice, another to celibacy, and
all to selfihness and ruin.
II is not necessary, I believe, to as
sert that am the friend of woman. 1t
is because I am so deeply and devOt-
edly her champion and admirer, that
1 write this sermon. And as I am
writing it, let me say that, while Miss
Susan Anthony and Mrs. George
Train are clamOring for women to
vote, and to work, and sing bass if
they wish, we are clamoring for her
right to be a wife and a mother !;
which the tendencies of the times
threaten to rob her of. We ask her
to stand for that-to insist upon that
forever. We affirm, and challenge the
world in its defense, that woman is
the equal of man, but not the same
by no manner Of means; quite, quite
other than man; not intended by the
Creator to be the same, or act in the
same sphere, or do the same work.
Our mannish women and WOmanish
men have got into sad confusion of
ideas in their efforts at a sensation,
which seems likely to be a failure.
Clear up that confusion. Woman
and man are equal, but not the same {;
each completes the other. There is
no perfect man, and no perfect woman,
without marriage and children.
Each completes and perfects the other,
or would do so were marriage what
it was intended to be. One step furth-
er Man can do his work best, and
woman can do her work best; but the
question is, and a vital one, too, what
is his work and what is her work?
Miss Anthony and Mrs. Train, if I
understand them, claim that woman
can do just what man does, and has a
right to do it-and can do it as well.

lFrOm ths Cincinnati Conn,
The Bonds.

The incessant effort that is made bv
Democratic politicians, and some Re
publicans too, to excite the preiudices
Of the ignorant and the furious
against bOndhOlders, as a class, is as
black a raseality and as mean and
suicidal business as was ever attempt
ed by men who think it worth while
to profess to be honest and decent.
The bondholders are persons who
hold the securities Of the Government.
In what country under heaven was
that ever before supposed to be an
Ofense2 The bonds should be paid
according TO the contract, to be sure.
And what the contract is, is a ques-
ton of law. Is that to be decided by
inhaming one class Of persons against
anOther2 The bOndhOlders are not all
rich persons. The vast majority are
in quite moderate circumstances. The
little savings efhundreds ofthousands
obthe thrifty poor are in bonds. The
securities Of saving banks, life insu-
rance companies, &C., in which people
IA 9sA tlAg9AGA GlACNAu8k4lCoS are Qe6D@
ly interested, are in bonds. If We 90
into the issue Of paper money to pay
off the debt, We Fepudiate it. If we
give prominence again 20 Southern
politicians Of the rsbeLschOol, and re-
instate the Democratic party in pow
er, we repudiate the debt. That de-
stroys the credit Of the Government,
and places it helpless before either
foreign or domestic foes, for nation
without credit can not draw the sword
to defend itself against either inva
ders or assassins. So in addition to
the enormous sum Of individual
wrong that the reputation Of the
debt would bring, it would involve
national ruin, speedy, utter and hope
less. There should be the same mon
ey for the plOWholder and for
the bondholder, certainly, but
the money should be coin. The thing
to do is not to rob the holders Of the
securities Of the Government, but to
appreciate the money that is in the
pockets of the people.

s'What God has called Pure.''

ssWhat God has Called Pure -
Sixteen years ago, Madame Sarti
gave physiological lecturesin New
York, to ladies. One day there came
to her rooms a mother, with two boys,
ten years old. She asked Madame
Sarti to show to the children the wax
model Of the female body with which
she lectured, and to give to them her
usual full description and explanation
Of every organ and its use. The
womb was represented in the seventh
month of pregnancy with twins.
When Madame Sarti reached this, she
was about to pass it by without men
ton. ''Stop," said the mother, "that
is precisely what most wish my lit
tie sons to see." Then as the two
children looked with earnest wonder
on the two tiny bodies, locked tightly
in each others embrace, she said:
"My darlings, you know how for nine
long months you lay close together,
in that wonderful little room which
God has made in the mothers body.
Now you can just see how it was. See
how much mamma must love you, and
how dreadful it would be if you did
not love each other" When Madame
Sarti told rs this story, the tears stood
in her eyes, and she said, in her bro
ken English, "Ohl l did like to bless
that wOmanl What men will she
make those boys to bel''
There are mothers who will read
this witha naughty blush and half
sneer. 1t is Of no use to speak to
such; we have tried it, and we have
not found any words which they
can understand. But there are other
mothers who will pause; and while
they are perhaps a little startled,
will have a thrill Of earnest question
ing: els this really what ought to
be done? How could I do it? How
can ] be sure that it would be best?"
To these we stretch out our hands
and cry: "What God has called pure
shall We call impure, and withhold it
from his little ones? Shall we allow
the holiest of his mysteries to be
rudely handled by coarse men and
women in their hearing, to be defled
and overlain with lies, to be made a
savor of death unto death unto them,
instead Of a SAVIOR of life unto life2
All this we do if we delay for an un-
necessary hour the telling them all
they can understand-and they can
all that we know-Of the
great laws of the human body, of sex
and reproductiou.-["A Mother" in
the Independent.

Remarkable Cure Of COnsump-
ffOn

A-0AAa
The transactions Of the Connecticut
State Medical Society contain a pa
per from Professor s. G. Hubbard, Of
New Haven, in relation to the cure
Of the late Rev. Jeremiah Day, form-
er President Of Yale College, Of tu-
bercular consumption. President
Day, during early life, gave early
promise of long life, and when in 1889,
in his seventeenth year, be entered
Yale College, he was soon compelled
to leave from pulmonary difficulty.
He rallied, however, and was able to
finish the course and graduated in
1895. He was very feeble, however,
for many years, He became a cler-
gyman, and in 1901 vas elected Pro-
fessor of Mathematics and Natural
History in the College. But he could
not undertake the duties. An alarm
ing hemorrhage Of the lungs prostrat-
ed him, which was treated "learnsd-
"" by bleeding copious enough to
have charmed even DR.. Sangrado.
He went to Bermuda, where he was
Piled with digitalis to such an extent
as almost to take what little life was
left. He came back to his native
town, Washington, Connecticut, to
die.
he suffered from continued heinz
orrhage and repeated veneseetions,
till be happened to meet DR.. Sheldon,
of LitchfeId, who had made the
treatment with iron his hobby. he
expressed a belief that Mr.. Day could
be helped. Though the case was re-
garded as hopeless, the patient was
placed under the care Of DR.. Sheldon,
who treated him with iron and calls
ava bark, feeding him carefully with
wholesome food. Under this regi-
men he soon exhibited indications Of
improvement; and finally, in 1903,
returned home as one restored from
the dead, in sufficient vigOr to be in
augurated in the professOrship. He
never afterward exhibited symptoms
Of pulmonary disease, although be
had been affected by it for more than
twelve years. He lived till August,
1867, and was 80 years old at the
time Of his death.
The cavity of the thorax was exaut-
iDed, to ascertain tho traces of his
former malady. Only about a pint Of
the serum was found, the lungs wers
everywhere free from tubercle and
weFo apparently healthy In the
apex of each lung was found dense,
corrugated, circular cicatrix, an inch
and a half or moro in diameter. Also,
. third circular cicatrix on the left
side Of the left lung, a few inches be-
low the apex, each involving such a
depth of tissue as to indicate that
the vomic@, of which they were the
remains, had been large and Of long
duration.
Here, then, remarks Professor
Hubbard, was all that remained to
mark the beginning, progress and cure
Of a case oftubercular consumption,
occupying twelve years in its period
of activity, and with its ineipient
stage dating more than three-quar-
tiers of a century. A legible record,
surprising in interest and importancs
to the human race those of the slabs
Of Nineveh, or the Runie Inscriptions

same. Whoever builds his ship with
the grapevine will come to grief; who
ever makes wine with the acorn will
have a bitter mouth.
Woman needs the strength and
courage of man, and he needs her
cheerfulness, her sympathy, her con-
ISOLATION. If man does not marry her,
he will use her and trample upon her;
he does it now in Paris, and in Lon
don, and in New York. She will be
his mistress, if she is not his WIFE
And then, when she is sick, or ilI-tem-
pered, or stupid, he will throw her
away. If she is his wife, the mother
of his children, the partner of his sue
cesses and the consOIer of his failures,
then, and only as such, will he cher
ish, Defend and sustain her. Time
was when woman was described as
the help-Dleet of man. Was it only a
phrase, and meaningless? Possibly;
but then, words in the Bible mostly
did mean something. The time, too,
was, and yet is'in some quarters of the
world, when woman was a help-meet,
and accepted and worked up to her
position as such. She did not demand
everything and do nothing.
Why is marriage easy and Univer-
sal in such country as Japan? Life
there is simple; two or three small
rooms, a few dishes, amat upon which
to sleep, one dress, a little rice, and
some fruit-these suffice for all, rich
and poor alike, in a great city like
YeddO, which has a civilization as
perfect and as old as ours.
And it is not life of stupidity or
barbarianism; all can read and write;
manners are good; books and pictures
are plenty; theatres abound; process
siOns and festival days enliven life
1t is easy to see, therefore, why mar
riage is not a fearful thing in that far
off land; and, by contrast, it is easy to
understand why few have the courage
to dare it here.
This strange and most perplexing
question has led me to ask, from one
of our most accomplished mOdistes, a
few figures. 1 asked her: "What is
the finest tr01lSSeau you make? What
is it that the few very richest people
here in New York think it best for
their daughters to have, when they
marry?"
I received a very polite and civil
reply, which has, I must admit it,
startled me. She said: ttIn Paris,
the upper classes, the aristocracy, &C.,
appropriate from fifty to sixty thOus-
and francs for a trOuSSeau, not includ-
ing jewels. Here this kind OF thing is
not uncommon, though not frequent:

Government of Spain. The Madrid

Some years since a prominent busi-
ness man of Northampton, who began
to "soW his wild oats' young, and has.
not got through yet, attended a col
ored ball in that town. After each
breakdown" he noticed that a we'll
near the house, which, by the way,
was not a deep one, was resOrted to
by the men to quench their thirst.
Unobserved, while the dance was,
going on, he slipped out Of the house
and moved the curb a few feet beyond
the well, and then awaited the result.
Presently out came one OF the dancersy
and plump to the bottom he went.
Blowing and putting he came to the
top, and exclaimed; Goshl who
moved dis well since Is out here

The eccentric Dean Swift was walking
in the Phoenix road, Dublin, when thun-
der shower came on, and he took shelter
under a tree, where a party was shelter
ing also, two young women and two young
men. One Of the girls looked very sad,
till, as the rain fell, her tears fell. The
Dean inquired the cause. and learned that
il was their wedding day; they were on
their way to church, and pOw her white
clothes were wet and she couldn't go.
'Never mind, III marry you," said the
Dean; and took out his prayer-bOOk LCd
there and then married them, their win
nesses being present; and to make the
thing complete he tore a leaf from is
pocket-bOok, and with his pencil wrote,
and signed a certificate which he handed
to the bride. It was as follows;
Under q tree, in stormy weather,
I married this man aud woman together
Let none bat Him who ralss the thunder,

first time in its history, governed by true
Republican principles. The disorganiza-

by the factious Democrats in it, has ended
at last by the election of Republican pre-
siding officer. Washington is now indeed
what itshould be--slavery dead, and the
black people enfranchised-it appropriate

gospel of right has been successfully pro

The succession 10 the Spanish
throne remains undetermined. The
choice of Prince Alfred, of England,
which has been suggested, is regarded
as absurd and impossible, because be
is a Protestant. The name of Ferdi-
nand, ex-King of Portugal, is men
toned with favor. Though an ul-
tramontane in religion, he is regard
ed as politically a liberal, as popular
in Spain, and would be unobiectiona-
bic to the Emperor Napoleon.
Gen. Prim has received the title of
Marshal of Spain. Gen. Dulee has
been made Duke of Madrid.
A deputation of Cubans has arriV-
ed in Madrid and held consultations
with the Central Junta. They have
agreed to measures providing for the
gradual abolition of slavery.

The revolution in Spain has rejoiced
the hearts Of one family at least, that
of the political editor Of the Democra-
cia, of Madrid, who has been released
from prison. His sentences amount
ed to one hundred and two years of
Ofimprisonment.
Queen Isabella has issued a protest
against the revolution in Spain. The
document argues that the force used
by the rebels to depose the Queen does
not injure her rights to the throne,
and declares the acts of a Junta, es-
tablished by violence, are not binding
on the people.
The Provisional Government Of Spain
has proclaimed the deposition ofQueen
Isabella. The Junta has been offered
loan of 16O,OOO,OOO reals by An
dalalusian bankers and merchants.
The leaders Of the Junta at Madrid
are monarchical in their preferences,
but have agreed to accept a Republic
if the people so pronounce at an cleo
ton. The elections for members of
the Cortes is fixed for the 18th Of No
vember. All the provinces have form
ally recognized the authority of the
Central Provisional Junta in session
in Madrid.
A Havana dispatch Of the l1th says:
''Though people here have been in
formed of the progress of events in
Spain, there have been no political
manifestations. No excitement is ap-
parent, and the city and island are
quiet"

little that I have seen in the world
and know Of the history Of mankind
teaches me to look upon their errors
in sorrow, not in anger. When I
take the history of one poor heart tha

to myselfthe struggles and temptations
it passed through; the brief pulsation
Of joy; the tears of regret; the feeble

gone; I would fain leave the erring
