Tuhal Cain.

Old Tubal Cain was man of might
In the days when earth was young;
RY the fierce red light of his furnace bright
ihe strokes of his hammer rung:
And he lifted high his brawny hand
ON the iron glowing clear,
TIL The sparks rushed out in scarlet showers,
As he fashioned the sword and the spear.
And he sang "Hurrah for my handiwork
Hurrah TOR the spear and the sword
liurrah for the hand that shall WELD them well,
For he shall be king and lord"
TO Tubal Cain came many one,
AS he wrought by his roaring fire,
And each one prayed for strong steel blade
AS the crown of his desire:
Aud he made them weapons sharp and strong,
'1luthey shouted loud for glee,
And gave him gifts of pearl and gold,
And spoils of the forest free.
And they sang "fIurrah for Tubal Cain,
Who hath given strength anew
liurrah for the smith, hurrah for the fire,
And hurrah for the metal truei'
But sudden change came DER his heart
Ere the setting of the sun,
And Tubal Cain was filled with pain
For the evil he had done;
He saw that man with rage and hate
Made war upon their kind,
That the land was red with the blood they shed,
In their lust for carnage blind.
And he said "Alas that ever made,
Or that skill of mine should plan,
The spear and the sword for men whose JOY
Is to Stay their fellow 70
And for many day old Tubql Cain
sat brooding DER his woe;
And his hand torbore to smite the ore,
And his furnace smOuldered low. .
But he rose ut last with cheerful face,
And bright courageous eye,
And barred his strong right arm for work,
While the quick flames mounted high,
And he sang "llurrah for my handiworkl"
And the red sparks lit the air;
Not alone for the blade wasl the bright stee
made, -
And lie fashioned the first ploughshare.
Apd men, taught wisdom from the past,
IN friendship Joined their hands,
Hung the sword in the hall, the spear on the wall
And ploughed the willing lands;
And sang: 'Hurrah for Tubal Cain
Our stAnch good friend is he;
And for the ploughshare and the plough
To him our praise shall be.
But while oppression lifts its head,
Or tyrant would be lord,
Though we may thank him for the plough
Won not forget the swordr'

WHITE WOMEN CAPTIYEs.
The Woman of 1900.
From the San Francisco, Call.

Perhaps you imagine we attempt the
prediction of feminine perfection. No.
The Coming Woman will doubtless have
in private her little spirits OF ebullition
Perfection is not desirable. Were it at
tainable, there would be left nothing to
be improved Lite would stagnate in
monotony. Who wants to encounter per-
feet man OF woman? Their very presence
would irritate and prove Il constant re-
proach. A woman entirely guiltless of
'.tantrums'' would be a lake without 4
breeze. an ocean without gale. Doubt
less the C. w. will indulge in modified
"conniptions'' if the man trusted with her
errand doesn't bring home the exact shade
of Berlin worsted to match. Such flaws
are pleasant for variety's sak Ike. Sit steady
in your seat, hard down your helm, bring
her up to the wind, and let the connubial
lib shake until the squall is over.
Once q woman who has already come,
charged me to procure 1or her Thanks

rigidly particular as to the sex OF the dis

that woman. and no sooner had | lifted it
from the basket, than the squalls com
menced blowing. She maintained that |
had not fulfilled my mission; that | had
not accomplished the getting OF hen
turkey. She ought to have known better.
Internally l felt wroth against hen-turkey
and hens of any species. Still gusty and
flawv, that woman, disguised that a male
turkey must grace her Thanksgiving
board, set to work, she and l, in ominous
silence picked the bird of all its feathers.
One remark / ventured. Sad L, Mad

told me to s'Shut up" | did so. kept
the helm hard down, and let the head
sails shake. Then she carried the bird
to the sink. She disembowelled it. In
so doing, she developed Il large quantity
of eggs-in the turkey. Eggs are not
common in male turkeys. Fora time she
was silent. I deemed hers the silence OF
indignation. 1t was not; it was the silence
of remorse. She might, from me, have
concealed those immature embryos OF
young turkeys, and in so doing concealed
her error. Being true woman, she
would not. She could not. SO at last
she turned and said: 'Sir, perceive by
the internal embryotic evidences in this
turkey that I have been wrong. / ask
your pardon" OF course | granted 1t,
Now, had I not kept quiet during this
squall, we might both have become en-
ragged, and an eternal friendship might
have been eternally ruptured, and all for
a hen-turkey. AS did this, so will the
Coming Woman. She will always own
up to her faults and mistakes, when con-
vlcted by internal evidence, no matter
whether such evidence lie in herself or
any other hen-turkey.

The Young Girl Who Roasted a Man
From the New Orleans Pcayune, July 80.

From the New Orleans Picayune, July 30.
In going through the parish prison a
few days since, the attention of the re-
porter was attracted to young girl APP
parently not more than fifteen years of
| age. " She had fair nut-brown hair and a
complexion fresh and white as milk. The
mild blue eyes were singularly soft and
intelligent, and her whole appearance in
dictated the free, joyous characteristics of
youth and happiness. Yet this amiable
looking creature, this fair delicate Miner
va Of slender form and ingenious face, is
said to be devil incarnate. She was not
| a prisoner, only visitor to the institution,
and when the reporter saw her she was
conversing with a noted burglar; indeed
she says she is a cousin of Pete Munday's,
| and goes under the soubriquet of Lily.
She is almost as fair and delicate as one.
Her career is a remarkable series of adj
ventures and hair breadth escapes.
About a year ago she lived in San An
tonia, Texas, and for some real or fancied
| misconduct received isevere castigation
at the hands OF man with whom she
was living Burning with resentment
and conscious of her inability to cope with
him in physical strength, she waited until
lllt lltAl ulSll WHICH, Ntto stolCCP, anu
then locking the doors of the room and
closing every avenue of escape, she pre-
pared for q work OF horror almost i'm
possible to conceive. On one pretext or
another she sent all the inmates of the
house away. and procuring paper and
other intlammable material, built a funeral
pyre around the bed of the sleeping man.
This done, she; set fire to it, and locked
the door behind her, fled the house. The
man woke up when the house was full of
flames, and in escaping from the room
was literally roasted. One side of the
body was burned almost to cinder. He
has never recovered from his injuries, and
is to-day hopeless invalid, suffering ex-
cruciating torture and continual anguish.
His generosity-perhaps his sense of atone
mcnt-prevented his prosecuting the girl,
and she made her escape to New Orleans
Arriving here she took apartments on
Toulouse street, between Rampant and
burgundy, where she still resides. She
is yet very young, certainly not more
than seventeen at furthest. Her vindic-
tive and savage fury when excited is a
terror to all her acqualn.ances. 1t is
strange that beneath an exterior so fair
and beautiful should be concealed the
element of such lawless violence.

An Absurd Custom.

Shortly after the accession of James l.,
when Scotch gentlemen were beginning
to feel at home in London, Lord Har-
wood gave dinner party, to which were
invited a number of courtiers and officers
both civil and military. After the bottle
had been circulated few times, Gen
s., an English trooper and reckless
bon rjrant, arose and said: Gentlemen,
when am in my cups, and the generous
wine begin, to warm my blood, | have an
absurd custom Of railing against the
Scotch. Knowing my weakness l hope
no gentleman in the company will take it
amiss." He sat down, and Highland
chief, Sir Charles Bleakie, of Blair Atholl,
presenting a front like an old battle-worn
tower, quietly rose and remarked: Gen
tlemcn, when | am in my cups and the
generous wine begins to warm my blood,
if I hear a man rail against the Scotch, |
have an absurd custom OF kicking him at
once out of the company. Knowing my
weakness, | hope no gentleman will take
it amiss.' 1t may be needless to add that
Gen. S. did not on that occasion suffer
himself to follow his usual custom.

IMPORTING A WIFE. insight, Unseen.
A tour of the American Union and of Can
ada was recently made by Rev. James
Nugent, Il chaplain of the Liverpool Bor
ough Jail, who, moved to noble sympathy
by the poorly requitted toll OF many Irish
girls OF the better class, conceived and
executed the idea of coming across the
ocean himself, and procuring more COM
Portable homes and more remunerative
employment for Il certain number of such
specially deserving young women, pre-
paratory to sending them hther. In In
diana, Illinois, and some parts Of Canada,
he found good places in American fami-
lies for about 20 of his selt-assumed charg-
es; and from an honest bachelor farmer
in Oregon accepted a particularly delicate
commission. The farmer in question lives
in part of the State where there are
scarcely any unmarried women, and, up
on learning the object of Father Nugents
journey, he requested that some worthy
young foreign maiden of suitable house
hold abilities should be sent to him Us a
wife. The request being made in perfect
good faith, the chaplain promised to hon
or it if he could; and, accordingly,
amongst about score of blooming Irish
lassies now on their way from Liverpool
10 the places provided for them, is one
who comes to wed wooer known to her
by photograph and letter only. She is an
orphan from the north of Ireland, who,
since the death of her parents, has earned
an average income of about six shillings
week by the hardest kind of drudgery
in the work room of a large draperY es-
Establishment in the English seaport. 1t is
by the advice of Mr. Nugent that she ac-
cepts the novel destiny offered her in Or
egon; and as she is Industrious, good
looking and virtuous, there can be little
doubt that the Western agricultural bach
elor is a most fortunate man. N. Y.

FREE LOVE IN MAINE. The correspond
ent of New York paper, writing from
Deer Isle, tells of a village on that island
called Clam City, of about 80 houses,
which is sort of Yankee Salt Lake. Its
inhabitants, according to this account, are
not overburdened with learning. An in
dividual called Father Ames, the coolest
inhabitant," exercises sort of patriarchal
sway over the people. He is about 65
years old, has some education, breaches
every Sunday and sometimes week days.
He is represented as saying:
To make a woman happy you must let her
have her own way, and the worst thing you can
do is to bind woman down for lifetime to
one man, no matter how much she loves. She
| was born to be the equal of man and not his
slave; therefore say unto my young women,
go mate with man, but ever consider YOUR
selves free to leave him when you believe it
your duty"

mons and probably constitute that mystic
rious League which proposes to elect Mrs.
tiser.

drawn on his imagination. We don't
