SUNDAY APPEAL.
ON LADY


Oft as my lady sang for me
That song of the lost on hat sleeps by the sea,
Of the grave on the rock, and the cypress tree,
Strange was the pleasure that over me stole,
For twas of old sadness that lives in my soul.
So still grew my heart st each tender word,
That the pulse In my bosom scarcely stirred
And I hardly breathsd but only heard
Where was Il Not in the world OF men,
Until she awoke me with silence again.
Like the smell of the vine, hen its early
bloom
Sprinkles the green lane with sunny perfume,
Such a delicate fragrance filed the room.
Whether IL came from the vine without,
Or arose from her presence, / dwell in doubt.
L'ght shadows played on the pictured wall
From The naples that nutfered outside the hall,
And hindered the daylight-yst abb no all;
Too little for all that the forest would be
Such a sunbeam she was, and is, TO mel
When my sense returned, as the song was DER,
I fain would have said TO her, " sing 1t once
more"
But SIS Don as she smiled my wish I forebore
MI ic enough in her look I found,
And the hush OF her lip seemed sweet at the
sound.

Women or Ladies.

some writer has said that one of the
sweetest words in the Enolisb lam
guage. one of the most expressive and
"full OF sound, is the almost now for.
gotten term "gentlewoman." Thevsrv
name itself carries US back 10 the s;r,a
of Sir Roger de Coverly, ..smug NJ
Addison ? good hearted. kindly Dick.
Steele, the convivial Christian hero.'s
But now that 'ghis tedious, buckram-
coated modern age" has set ia. the
old-fashioned word is discarded, and
the unmeaning phrase, 'slady" is uni
yeFsaliy applied to members of the
beautiful-unmeaning because any
word thus Unfortunately made use of
soon loses all positive, or so to speak,
individual sense. True, we live in
democratic country, but political equal
lty does not in the least lessen social
distinctions. The most culriyat ed man
and the dirtiest vagabond both equally
take their ''ladies" to the theater. The
nymph OF the pave speaks of her .'lady
friend. Indeed, so.far has this absur-
dity been carried, that now to say .she
is true woman" is to pay one of the
highest compliments which the sex is
capable of receiving. Woman"
brings to mind tender recollections of
soft eyes, dear lips. embracing arms,
and gentle hearts; 'lady" is but fni--
kin, Greeian-bend animal, full of affec-
tation and nonsense, as different from
the real article as is Thackary's 'Lcais
the Man." different from the "Grand
Monarch when arrayed in robes of
state. To the word "lady" may be Sc
riously applied the definition given
through simplicity by little girl: ga
cold -bleoded mamma" Extensive mis-
used as is this title, however, it is still
spreading. and there is every prospect
that in short time, we will have to
exclaim with, Hamlet: "That was a
woman, sir, but rest her soul, she's
dead. ~ Y World.

A Tough One,

"Talk about bedbugs," said Bill
Jones, who had been across the plains,
'you should have seen some of the
critters | met in Idaho last spring. I
stopped one night with some settlers,
who lived in little log cabin contain
ing only one room and loft. When it
came time to go to bed they strung a
blanket across the middle Of the room,
and the settlers family slept ON one side
of it and give me the tother. l laid
down to go to sleep and the bedbugs
began to gether like lunch-eaters around
free layout I tried to kiver up
and keep away from 'em, but the pesky
varmints would catch hold Of the bed
clothes and pull them off from me-
They didn't think nothin' of draggin'
me round the room if held on. l fit
'em till about midnight, and then l
looked around for some way of escape.
There was a ladder reachin' up into the
loft, and | thought the best way to get
away from the bloodsuckers was to
climb up thar, SO l did There wasn't
any bugs in the loft, and l laid down
congratulatin' myself on my escape
Pretty quick l heard the ladder
as if somebody was comm
up. Bimeby l saw bedbug raise
himself up through the hole in the floor,
and lcok carefully around the loft
Soon's he saw me he motioned to his
chums below, the blood-thirsty cuss,
and cried, exultin'ly: Come up, boys;
les herer"

Our JoHN's EXAMINATION. Our
John has had public school examina-
tion-and according to all reports, was
pronounced one of the most remarkable
Youths of the nineteenth century--an-
swers were short, concise, and all of
them correct. One of the series of
questions we give as specimen of his
profound erudtion, and deep research
amid the labyrinths of wisdom.
'John, tell us what is mathematical"
"Matthew Mattics is not relative of
Father Matthew, but is feller as deals
largely in figures, ledgers. and cash
books"
"Good. What are mathematical Ia
bles?"
Tables as han't got any legs sir
they generally stand on nothing"
"What are they used for?"
"For policy dealers to swindle with,
and book-keepers to strike balance
sheet"
"What is division?"
"Well, division is, for instance, when
you tell Bob to do nothing, call me to
20 to work, divides with him"
"How?"
"Why, l does nothing, of course,
and he goes to work and helps me.
"Very good, John. What IS addl-
tiou?"
addition is, when you give feller
one kickin', and he don't fight back,
you give him another-thus adding in
suit to injury"

THE DOORSTEP.

The conference meeting through at last,
We boys around the yestry waited
To see the girls come tripping past
Like snow-birt.s waiting to be mated
Not braver he that leaps the wall
By level musket flashes litten
Than l., who stepped before them all,
VINO i0nged to see me get the mitten.
But no, she blushed and took my arm!
We let the old folks take the highway,
And started toward the Maple Farm
Along kind OF levers byWay.
I can't remember what we said.

Yet that rude path By which we sped
seemed all transformed and in glory.

To keep It warm had to hold it,
To have her With me there alone.
Twas love and fear and triumph blendedi
At last we reached the foot -worHstone
Where that delicious journey ended
She shook her ringlets from her brow, -
And with Thank you, Ned.sslis<Sembled.
But yet knew she understood

The moon was slowly peeping through it,
Yet hid its face, as if it said

My lips till then had only known
The kiss of mother and of sister
But somehow, full upon her own
Sweet, rosy, darling MOUTH kissed her.

ARTIFICIAL WAYrs.-Bulwer says
that poverty is only an idea, in nine
cases out of ten. Some men with ten
thousand dollars a year suffer more
for want of means than others with
three hundred. The reason is, the
richer man has artificial wants. His
income is ten thousand, and he suffers
enough from being dunned for unpaid
debt to kill sensitive man. A man
who earns dollar day, and does not
run in debt, is the happier Of the two.
Very few people who have never been
rich will believe this; but it is as true as
Gods word. There are thousands and
thousands with princely incomes who
never know 8. moments peace, because
they live above their means. There is
really more happiness in the world
among working people than among
those who are called rich.

Nor BAD.-Little Jimmy, who is
now a little more than four years old
having achieved pair of rubber boots,
astonished his paternal the next day by
asking if he wouldn't procure him q
pair of skates and deduct the pay out Of
his allowance when he should have one!
He was, during the late thawy wealth
er, at his grandmother's, and contrary
to her injunction ran out in the slusE
and got his feet wet.
"Grandma," said he, as he sat by
the stove drying his feet, ''what dc
you do to your little boys when they
don't mind you, and go out in the wa
ter and get their feet wet?"
why" replied she, with severe
countenance, Il whip 'em."
"Well,' continued he, in a very dis
eliminating tone, "I'm not your little
boy"

w An amusing result ofthe pass
port system is reported from Paris
A certain mayor had to make out a
passport for certain duchess. The
duchess was wealthy; the mayor was
in her service. The duchess was some
thing of a coquette; the mayor was
anxious to crafty her humor. But the
duchess was one-eyed, and the mayor
had difficulty in making out the pass
port. How was he to describe her eyes?
He entered them in the schedule as fol-
lows: "Eyes--Dark, beautiful, soft,
full. of expression--one of them being
absent" This is surely the triumph OF
courtesy, and worthy of the nation that
plumes itself on its politeness.

w- Singing is great institution. :"
1t oils the wheels of care, supplies the

Such a man not only works more will

singing cobbler will earn as much

Clem cites as proof of woman's
ineapacity as teacher. to scenes that
transpired a; certain examination in
GalhPolis. He says the examiner pro-
pounded to a couple of young ladies
the simple questions, ''What IS Addi-
tom" What is English GRAMMAR"
"a Noun?" &c.
Now, has he proved ANYTHING bv
this reference? Docs it demonstrate
the ignorance of those young ladies'
Was it their fault, or by their soEcita-
ton that those questions were asked
them? Were they not there for the
purpose of being examined, and was it
not the examiners place to find out
their qualifications by thorough ex-
animation, and if he failed to do it,
must the fault reflect upon the young
ladies', and they be condemned as ig-
norant and unqualified? No doubt
they answered the questions and what
more could they do? Glenn is mistaken
when he says. that the country is be-
ginning to ignore female teachers. The
truth is that the people are Just be-
ginning TO wake up to due sense Of
the great importance and worth of fe-
male teachers.
At the late Indiana State Teachers
Association, particular reference was
made by some of its most illustrious
members, to female teachers, inviting
them more largely into the field of la
Dor, and appealing to the people to ex-
tend greater inducements in way of
more respectable remuneration. 1 still
