A SAFE PRIsoN.-An extraordinary incident

in ordinary use, and the other. which was on

had to be made. Originally two keys were
provided for the latter, but some time ago one
of them was lost. A few weeks back a ne
cessity arose to visit the reserved safe, and to
intense establishment of the Cashier, he found
a key in the lock. He immrd iately informed
his employer, and the two together opened
the door, when they found inside the corpse
of man who had formerly been employed in
the bank. He had probably stolen the key
and visited thu depository with the intention

had died miseraby in the midst of the wealth
which he had desired to appropriate.
A TOKEN OF AFFEcTIoN.-One day last

evinced in paroxisms of uncomfortable grief.
She fingered by her husbands grave-side until
the officiating ninis er and most of the mour-

she drew something from underneath her left
breast which proved to be her late husband s

from six to eight pounds, fell with a heavy

to labor for and to overcome-I might
have been happy. Habits have be-

THE CHRONICLE.
What Some Women Think.

There is a pith to the subjoined
statement of the woman suffrage ques-
ton, which will set a good many
people to thinking. a proposition
having been offered in the Ohio Leg
islature, to grant the elective fran
chise to the sex, one hundred and
forty married ladies of Lorain county
sent in the following memorial
With the novel experience of last
weeks epicene jury in Wyoming,
these ladies might have enlarged the
specification of obnoxious duties, in
the last clause but One of this protest.
They say:
We acknowledge no inferiority to
men. 80
We claim to have no less ability to
perform the duties which God has i'm
posed upon US, than they have to per-
form those imposed upon them.
We believe that God has wisely and
well adapted each sex to the proper
performance of the duties of each.
We believe u trusts to be rs i'm
portant and sacred as any that exist
on earth.
We feel that our present duties fill
up the whole measure of our time and
abilities; and that they are such as
none but ourselves can perform.
Their importance requires us to pro-
test against all efforts to compel US to
assume those obligations which can
not be separated from suffrage; but
which cannot be performed by us,
without the sacrifice of the highest
interests of our families. and of sOcie-
ty.
1t is our fathers, brothers, husbands
and sons, who represent us at the bal
lot box. Our husbands are ouI choice,
and one with us. Our sons are what
make them.
We are content that they represent
US in the cornfield, the battlefield and
at the ballot box, and we them in the
school room, at the fireside, and at the
1radle-believing our representation,
even at the ballot box, TO be thus more
full and impartial than it could possi-
bly, be, were all women allowed to
vote.
We do, therefore, respectfully pro-
est against any legislation to establish
'wOman's suffrage" in D land, or
any part of it.

WORK AND WIN.-Whatever you
try to do in life, try with all your
heart to do well; whatever you devote
yourself to, devote yourself to it COM
pletely; in great aims and small, be
thoroughly in earnest. Never be-
lieve il possible that any natural or
improved ability al claim immuni-
~ from the companionship of the
steady, plain, hardworking qualities
and hope to gain its end. There is no
such fulfllment on this earth. Some
happy talent and some fortunate OPP
%portuQity may form the two sides Of
the ladder on which some men mount,
but the rounds of that ladder must be
made of stuff to stand and tear,
and there is no substitute for thorough
going, ardent and sincere earnestness.
Never put one hand to anything on
which you cannot throw your whole
sell, never affect depreciation of your
work, whatever it is. These you will
find to be golden rules.

The late Rev. Mr.. Thomas, long a
missionary, to India, was II day,
after addressing a crowd of the natives
on the banks of the Ganges, accOsted
by a Brahmin, as follows:
"Sir, don't you say the devil tempts
men to sin?"
YES" answered Mr.. Thomas.
'sThen,n said the Brahmin, 'eer-
tainly the fault is the DEVILS; the
devil, therefore, and not man, ought
to suffer punishment"
While the cOuntenances of many of
the natives discovered their appr0ba-
ton of the BIahmin's inference, Mr..
Thomas, observing u boat, with sever
al men on board, descending the river,
with that facility of instructive retort,
for which he was much distinguished,
replied, "Brahmin, do you see yOndeT
boat 2"
"Yes!"
"SuppOse l were to send some of
my friends to destroy every person on
board, and bring me all that is valua-
BILE in the boat, who ought to suffer
punishment? 1 forinstructing them,
OF they for doing this wicked act?"
"Why," answered the Brahmin,
with emotion, ''you all ought to be
put to death together"
"Ah, Brahmin," replied Mr.. T.,
'and if y GU and the devil sin together,
thedevil and you will be punished to-
gether."
