Men who can tell the truth and look

Men who know their message aud tell

C.ckl,np Rooster. and Growing Hens.

A Miss Emma Webb, last week de-
livered lecture in Brooklyn. n. T., on
the great Women's Rights movement.
She gave some home thrusts ut weak
minded men and strong minded women.
She said:
know of no sight more offensive to
reason or more disgusting to treat than
that of man trying to convert himself
into a woman, unless it is that of wo-
man to convert herself into man. Such
mental. moral and domestic transiorma-
tons arc always against nature; and
where they are not signs of foolishness,
they must be evidences OF depravity. The
delicacy, sweetness, and persuasive force
of beauty i'm woman is a thousand times
more effective in bending the naughty
stubborness of man than the sledge-
hammer blows Of the ''strong-minded.'
or, more properly speaking. the "slrong-
tongued." woman OF the world. The
tongue of an angry woman Is as power
less over man in society as the smile OF
her affection and modesty is omnipotent.
There is rs much despotism OF woman
over man rs man over woman. There is
no such autocrat of society as woman
NAV be by sweetness and amiability.
Does woman seek to increase her already
absolute power? She will never get it by
scolding in conventions. That is precise
" the way to lose all the power she now
possesses. Woman can never rule man
so absolutely by her vote as she does
already by the power of her charms. A
single, modest, refined. and charming wo-
man, is capable of exerting greater influ-
ence upon the legislation of the country
in the sweet seclusion of her own parlor

Myra look ed astonishment: "Why, she
exclaimed, IL thought it was Edward
Wales"
NO" said Cora, Robert said Edward
was in the same office, and sometimes di-
rected his letters for him"
o how Bertha's heart ached to ask his
forgiveness, but she would not take back
what had been said.
One year from the time they had part,
ed, Bertha stood under the old maple,
thinking of their parting, when looking
up she saw Edward Wales standing be-
side her.

Wasted Time.

Few things in the lives of distinguished
men are so impressive or so full o! yalu-
able suggestions, As their frequent lament
over lost opportunities for mental and
moral culture In his autobiography. Sir
Walter Scott says "lf it should ever fal!
to the lot Of youth to pcrusc these pages,
let such youth remember that it is with
the deepest regret that recolect in my
manhood, the opportunities of learning
which neglected in my youth, that

own ignorance. and that would at this
moment give half the reputation have

this respect while ii was not too late to

wrote 10 n friend: What would not give

How some Of on. Merchants hare
Risen.

4 few years ago, large drug firm in
this city advertised for \ boy. Next day
the store was throngcd with applicants.
among them aquecr looking little fellow,
accompanied by woman, who proved to
be his aunt, in lieu OF faithlcss parents. by
whom he had been abandoned. Look
ing nj this little waif. the merchant in the
store promptly said; Cant take him;
places all full, besides he is too small.
II know Inc is small" said the woman
"but he is willing and faithful There
was twinkle in the boys eyes which made
the merchant think again. A partner in
the firm volunteered to remark that he did
not see what they wanted oi such boy
he wasn't bigger than pint of cider. .
But after much consultation the boy was
set 10 work. A few days later o call was
made on the boys in the store for some
one 10 stay all night. The prompt re-
spouse of the little fellow conlrasted we'll
with the reluctance of others. In the
middle of the night the merchant looked
in TO sec if all was right in the store, and
presently discovered his youthful profe9e
busy scissoriug labels. What are You
doing?" said he IL did not tell you to
work nights Il know you did not tell
me 50 but thought might as well be
doing something" In the morning the
cashier got orders to "double the boys
wages. for he is wiiliHg." Only few
weeks elapsed before n show OF wild beasts
passed through the streets, and very nat
urally all hands in the store rushed to
witness the spectacle A thief saw his
opportunity, and entered at the rear door
TO seize something, but in twinkling
found himself firmly clutched by the di-
miputiye clerk aforesaid and after y strug-
gle, was captured Not only was rob
berry prevented, but valuable articles ia
ken from other stores were recovered.
When asked by the merchant why he
staid behind To watch when all others
quit their work, the reply was, You
told me never to leave the store when
others were absent, and thought I'd
STAY" Orders were Immediately given
once more Double that boys wages;
he is willing and JaittfW." To-day that
boy is getting q salary OF $1,000. and
next January will become member ei

The loss in London alone was estimated
