TLTON ADMONIsHED BY A WOMAN
What, Mr.. IIton, do you mean by your
declaration tina you will not let the law
OF the land hold you to q contract which
YOU wish to violate? If you mean GRIM
NAL outrage, you will find the law of the
and able to hold you, or at least able to
brand YOU as a monster. In the last issue
Of The Golden Age you argue the matter
again. You say that - Love is love-not
liking, not friendliness. not kindness, not
esteem, but love-and if a man ha, ceased
10 feel 1t for the woman who sits at the
other end Of his breakfast table, which is
the most moral-or the least immoral, if
YOU will-tor him to break the chains
Shich bind him, break them as gently and
unse fshy as be may, but ia some wise set
himself free, put himself in position to
live a true life or to wear his letters un-
compl dningly silently, bat invoking mean
while all the lfghtnings Of heaven to do for
him what he has not the courage to do for
himself2" If this were meant for the per-
: flge of gay rake, justIfying variety lat
the head of his breakfast table l could
understand it. You speak of the man on
~. as if the woman were not of much acss
her cheaper than men of free lives common
IL hold a mistress Her honor, which you
cannot give back, her wIfehood, which
rests on her honor. her motherhood, which
must continue aone the less for your deser-
ton, and to which you owe eternal fidelity,
these YOU make Of no account-she merely
"a sits at the head of your tahle''-and 1t is
a question of leaving her to sit alone, or of
drivJnr her out into the world. And that
you call the Age of Gold. 1t looks to me
more like the time when tools we're first
made Of bronze after the coarse patterns
Of the Age of Stone. There is not so much
mauliness in your Wh importing appeal to
the moral law as ruled the breasts of rude
cave dwellers, who would have broken
your head with 4 stone hatchet, and served
you right if you had thus proposed to quit
your marital obligations. YOu might cas-
be set down as half fool and half
knave IN this plea, if it were possible to
see that IN either character you are at all
4, d,fcient. You sit there wishing her dead,
you confess that what you thus do has
the spirit of murder IN it. You quote a
church member who said that II was i'm
possible for human nature not to cherish
this murderOus wish under such circum-
stances; and then you tr,umphantly ask
whether it IS better to murder the woman
or to put her away. Either may be bet
ter for the woman, but the question is what
yOu are bound to DO, not what is worst Of
the crimes you say you intend to choose
between. 4 LADY n Chicago Journal.

now remained My short end Of a thong
in the conjurer's hand, and he desired one
of the BOYS who assisted him to laV hold of
it and mount He did so, climbing by the
thong, aud we lost sight of him. TIE con-
iurer then called to him three times, but
getting no answer, he snatched up a knife,
as if IN q great rage, laid hold of the thong
and disappeared in his turn. By-and-by
he threw down one of the boys hands, then
a foot. then the other hand and the other
foot, then the trunk, and, last of all. the
head Lastly, be came down himself, puff

HARRY MEIGGs AND HIS WA sHERWoMAN.
Mrs. Josslyn is a wssherwoman, and
works very hard for her living. In the
palmy days of Harry Meiggs she deposited
with him no less an amount than $4,000,
and when Meiggs and her money were gone,
the time in which woman could lay up
50 large sum from the profits of her busi-
ness was gone also. Some two or three
months ago she read in some publication
hat her old banker had made money in
South America by building railro ds, and,
with beautiful ith in human nature, she
embarked upon the Panama steamer and
wended her way to the South, where
Meiggs now holds sway. She sought the
millionaire in the gorgeous residence des-
eribed in the OUeria71d, and presented her
bank-book and told her tale Meiggs
listened and when she finished he handed
her check for the AMOUNT Of the deposit
and interest from its date to tho time Of
payment. She departed wealthier and
happier woman.-iSaz Francisco CtroHf-

Living Waters.

There are some hearts like wells, greenmOssed and
deep
8 ever summer saw:
And cool their water is-yea, cool and sweet;
But yuu must come to draw.
They hoard not yet they rest in calm content,
And not uusought will give;
They can De quiet with their wealth unspent
SO zefcontained they live.
And there are some like springs that bubbling burst
To follow dusty ways,
And run with offered cup To quench his thirst
Where the tired traveller strays,-
That never ask the meadows if they want
What is their joy to give
Unasked their lives to other life they grant
SO sei-bestowed they live
And one is like the ocean, deep and wide,
Wherein all waters fall;
That girle7 the broad earth, and draws the tide,
Feeding and bearing all;
That broods the mi-ts tn sends the clouds abroad
That takes again to give;
Even The great and loving heart of cod,
Whereby al love doth live.

posted her young kittens in the nest of a
hen about to set, biddy took possession and
broodei the kittens in most afectiouate
manner, at the same time fercely driving
away all approaches Of the mother cat. If
a kitten offered to crawl out Of the nest it
was pecked back under her wings in the
most determined maternal manner and
when, after TWO days thus spent, the lost
kittens were discovered and removed into
the barn floor, the hen still claimed them
and attempted to get thsm under her wings
as before, at the same time manifcstiuy
