A resolution was presented in the
Senate of Maine, last week, to give Mrs.
Betsy Reynolds o pension during her
life. The member who introduced it
made the following statement: Mrs.
Reynolds, widsw of John Reynolds, of
Burnham, sent four sons, two sons-in-
law, and one grandson to the war;
neither of them returned to tell their
story. They all died defending the
Union and the flag. When the war
closed she was left with thirty one
orphan grandchildren, made so by the
war. Her only servivipg son, who is
lame, volunteered, but was rejected be
cause of his lameness. Mrs. Reynolds
is now depending on her own labor for
her livelihood. Seven of her orphan
grandchildren are in the Bath Asylum.

the glitter of things--love-making among
tie rest-and the man who is showlestin
his affection, who can express 1t with the
most color, and paint it, so to speak, with
the minutest touches, is the man whose
love seems TO them the most trustworthy
and the most intense. They often make
the mistake Of confounding this show
with the substance, Of trusting to
pictorial expression rather than to
solid facts. And they often make
the mistake of cloying their husbands
with personal half-childish caresses,
which were all very well in the early
days, but which become tiresomc as the
time goes on, and the gravity Of life
deepens. And then, when the man
either quietly keeps them of, or more
brusquely repels them, they are hurt
and miserable, and think the whole hap
piness of their lives is dead, and all that
makes marriage beautiful at an end.
What is to be done TO balance things
evenly in this unequal world of sexY
What, indeed, is to be done at any time
to reconcile strength with weakness, and
to give each its due? One thing at
least is sure. The more thoroughly wo-
men learn the true nature of men, the
fewer mistakes they will make, and the
less unhappiness they will create for
themselves; and the more patient men
are with the hysterical excitability, the
restless craving, which nature, for some
purpose at present unknown, has made
the special temperament of women, the
fewer fcmmeS incomprises there will be
in married homes, and the larger the
chance of married happiness. All ones

last to the give and take system, to bear
ing and forbearing, and meeting half
way idiosyncrasies which one does not
personally share.

CIanin,s Ideas of social Reform.

Miss Fanny Claflin, of the New York
firm of Woodruff & Clafin, was in Gin
cinnati the other day, and below will be
found some interesting notes of a con-
versation she had with reporter of the
Enquirer:
1t is about year ago since we opened
our bank on Broad street, and went
to dealing in stocks on Wall street.
People said, why, amt you afraid to
be mixing in down there, where there
is nothing but meny We said, No,
what do we care for menY There are
five sisters of us-myself, Tenny and
three others-and we all work. Mr..
Bennett invited us to see him, and he
said he felt like assisting us, because
we were eminently practical women,
and deserved success. Would you be-
lieve it, Tenny is Mr.. Benefits family
physician, and SO she is Commodore
Vanderbilt's. AS for being a doctress,
| am sure there is nothing wrong in
that. Tenny has doctored some of the
best people in New York, including ex-
Mayor Kingsley. We are isolated and
cut off from society, but what do we care
for society," Why, came near commit
ting suicide, when little girl, because |
found out how corrupt my sex was. Oh,
you have no idea of the corruption and
evil of the female heart. You would ne
surprised if would tell you what know
of society in New York-drunkenness,
the = WELL no matter. Only a short
time ago there was an effort made among
the ladies in that city to raise sum of
money for some charitable purpose. One
Christian lady thought she could raise a
larger sum than anybody else by calling
upon the keepers of bad houses. She
visited one, and the proprietress said to
her: Why didn't you try to save me be-
fore ! came to this? | was left a widow,
with children and an aged mother to sup

his eye on that virtuous young lady.
He did so, and tracked her to two assig-

Merely opened our house down on

u,eb Art TciI, i,s own story.

An editor in New Jersey had little
nephew only six months old, and the
little nephew died. Some Of the editor
friends considered it would be a good
thing to give the afflicted uncle a sub
stantial expression of their sympathy
so they contracted with a local sculptor
for grave-stone. The design consisted
of an angel carrying the little one in her
arms and flying away, while a woman
sat weeping upon the ground. 1t was
executed horribly. The tombstone was
sent to the editor. with simple request
that he would accept it. As he was alb
sent the junior editor determined to ac-
knowledge it, although he hadn't the
slightest idea what it meant. So the
next day he burst out in the paper with
tho following remarksl

the hands of our eminent sculptor,
Felix Mullens, q comic bas relief, de-
signed for an ornamental hreboard. 1t
represents an Irishman in his night-shirt,
running away with the little god Cupid,
while the Irishman's sweetheart hides
hen head indifferently in the corner.
Every true work of art tells its own
story; and we understand, as soon as we
glance at this, that our Irish friend has
been coquetted with by the fair one, and
Is preparing to transfer his love to other
quarters. There is a lurking smile on
the Irishman's lips which expresses his
mischievous intentions perfectly. We
think il would have been better, however,
to have clothed him in something else
than a night-shirt and to have smoothed
down his hair. We have placed this chef
d'muyre beneath our parlor mantel-piece,
where it viii surely be admired by our
friends when they call. We are glad TO
encourage such progress in local art
This was painful A committee called
on the editor when he returned, and ex-
plained the tombstone to him; and that
night an assistant editor was seen coming
down stairs six steps at time, and ny
ing up street without coat or hat, with an
editor-in-chief close behind with a club.
Persons desiring the services of an assis-
tant editor can probably find this man

BY MRS. VIRGINIA fRANTz.
From the Brandon Republican,
A nation mourns A patriots dead
Step softly crush the rising mirth
"A brave, pure soul, has passed away,
And left gloomy shade on earth,
The cities draped in mourning tell
How all revere and love his namel
And soldiers eyes are dim with tears,
Who shared his perils and his fame.
Beneath the broad, blue, Southern sky.
There's not heart but feels his loss.
And lifts the banner Of his love,
To wave around his sorrows cross.
There's not man but feels that he 4
p Has lost strong and noble friend,
Who would act boldly for the right
The cause of justice would defend.
Yes, he is gone we'll see no more
His noble form among US herel
His spirit walks the heavenly shore.
While we are grieving for him here
A monument of mountain hight
The peoples hearts already raise;
'Tis built of sacred memories,
Of admiration, love and praise.
A christian and warrior, too.
Among us like a hero he stood
Generous and brave, tender and true,
Uniting all that's great and good!
A nation mourns his death to-day,
And never will forget his name;
I A second Washington was he,
Aswel deserving love and fame.
Ye patriots bold blush not to own
The shedding of a tear to-day;
And emulate his noble deeds,
For THEY will NEVER pass away.
The laurel and the myrtle twine,
Bright garlands to his memory;
While flowers bloom, and sunbeams shine,
Wen not forget our own. loved LEE!
