fear Of sluttony or dissipation. As books bring
into our daily circle as familiar companions the
noblcst spirits that ever wrought upon earth,
and permit US 10 rear our children under the
influence Of the noblest natures, so the Piano,
with simple inc'ntations bring US up rom their
sleep, the brotherhood Of song, and persuade'
them to dwell among US.

A Woman Asserts Her Rights ManfulIys
Montana has a citizen named Miss Given
Evans, who, as may readily be inferred
from her name, is by birth Welsh wo-
man. About n month ago she entered the
United States District Court in Montana,
and asked to have naturalization cert1ti-
cate made out for her. The puzzled func-
tionary settled his spectacles on his nose,
examined the applicant with surprise, and
then plunged into United States statutes, Ia
which he found no legal reason why wo-
men shonld not be duly naturalized, and
80 Miss Evans received her papers, with
which she boldly went to the land office OF
the Territory. There she asked clerk to
make out her declaratory statement to pre-
empt ono hundred and sixty acres of pub
lie land. The gentleman, like the other,
was somewhat astonished by her request,
but examining authorities, he found no
reason to rcpel the applicant, and her GER
tificate was duly filed as No. 1000. The
energetic lady then went to work on her
newly acquired land, and built house.
and set about to improve her farm, fenc-
ing it, and otherwise showing that, having
it, she intended to keep it. She now has
a COW, yoke of oxen, and all the usua
farming tools generally used by pioneers.
