wasn't dressed for company, and so
they left. All done in a sceond.-
It was just one little war-whoop,
and a whisk of their dresses, and
blame the wench Of EN- that was in
sight anywhere.
jim, he was a sight. lie was
gormed with that bilin hot molar-
ses candy clean down TO his heels,
and had more busted sassers stick
in to him than if he was an Iniun
prinoess-and he came a prancin'
up stairs, just a hoopin' and a Gus
sim, and every jump he made he
shed some china, and every squirm
he dropped some candy.
Anu olistered! Why, bless your

Female Declaration Of Indepen-
deRee.

Female Declaration Of IndePen-
deRce.
Mr.. McCoRD What do you
think of ''woman SufTerage?" Since
the ''National Woman Suffrage
Convention" met in Washington,
this momentous theme seems to be
agitating, more or less, all places
save our own quiet village; and the
question asked, "Are not women al
ready enfranchised under the Con
stitution and Amendmentsg
Enclosed please find a copy Of
the ',National Woman Sufferage"
new Declaration of independence.
Respectfully,
EsrELLE VEusE.
We, the undersigned, believing
that the sacred rights and priviH-
ges of citizenship in this Republic
have been long guaranteed to us by
the original Constitution Of the
United States, and that these arc
now made manifest in the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments
so that we can no longer refuse
the solemn responsibilities thereof
do hereby pledge ourselves to ac-
cept the duties of the franchise in
our several States soon as all legal
restrictions are removed.
And, believing that character is
the best safeguard of national lib
erty, we pledge ourselves to make
the personal purity and integrity of
candidates for public office the first
test for fitness.
And, lastly, believing in God as
the Supreme Author of the first
American Declaration of Indepen-
dence, we pledge ourselves in the
spirit of that memorable act to
work hand in hand with our fathers,
husbands and sons for the mainten-
ance of those equal rights on which
our Republic was originally found
ed, to the end that it may have
what is declared to be the first con-
dition of just govcrlment-the
consent of the governed.

A Queer Case Of Agreement.

Mr.. Bacon, the hero of the "Geor-
gia Scenes was courting lady in
South Carolina. She had refused
him frequently, and he as often con
tfhued his suit. At one interview
she became exceedingly annoyed at
his importantly, and told him she
could not marry him-that their
tastes, opinions, likes and dislikes,
were totally different. ain fact she
said, "Mr. Bacon, I don't think there
is one subject on earth upon which
we agree" Il assure you madam,
that you are mistaken, and I can
prove it." "Ifyou can mention one
thing about which we agree I will
marry YOU" 'sWelI'' said Mr.. Bacon
81 will do it. Suppose, now, you
and 1 were travelling together; we
arrive at a hotel, and there are only
two beds for us, in one Of which is
man, ana the other Woman-Whlch
bed would you select to sleep in?"
She arose Indignantly, and replied,
'with the woman of course, sirT'
$50 would 1" earnestly replied Mr..
Bacon. We are not informed as to
whether the lady married him or
not, but we do know that his good
taste entitled him to her.

The Shubuta, Miss, Times tells
a very rich divorce case in that

way. It appears that Jas. Chap
man and Jennie Williams, or James
and Jennie Chapman, had stuck
up" with each other and been liv-
ing together as man and wife for
long time, and that Jim got tired Of
the old woman and courted Miss
Indy. who promised to share his
bed and board. provided he would
get a divorce from jimmy. Jim
therefore FASTENED to the Office Of
7. II. Clay, one Of Alcorn's colored
magistrates, and offered him IS for
a divorce. Clay pocketed tho 'fTe"
and wrote the following certificate
Of divorce
"1liss Lindy, this is to certify that
James Chapman and Jenny viii

me, and you and him are at liberty
to marry him when YOU viii

Judge Not.


Judge not; the workings ofhIs brain
And Of his heart thou canst not see;
What looks t. thy dim eyes stain,
In Gods pure light may only be,
A scar brought from some we'll worn-held
Where thou wouldHt only faint and yield.
The look. tho air that fret thy sight.
May be q token that below
Tie soul has closed IN deadly fight
With some Internal, fiery foe,
Whose glance would scorch thy sning grace
And east thee shuddering on thy face.
The fall thou darest to despise.
Maybe the slakened angels hand
Has suffered it, that he may rise
And take 4 finer, sureF stand;
Or, trusting less TO earthly things,
May henceforth learn to use his wiz gs.
And Judge none lost, but wait and see
With hopeful pity, not disdain;
The depth Of the abyss may be.
I he measure of the heighti if pain,
And love aud glory, thatmay Ta.se
This soul to God IN after days.

A PUZZLED DUTCHMAE.

One who does not believe in i'm
n1ersion for baptism was holding a
protracted meeting, and one night
preached on the subject of baptism.
In the course of his remarks, he
said: Some believe it necessary to
go down into the water, and come
up out oft, to be baptised. But
this is claimed to be fallacy, for
the proposition Unto" of the scrip
ture should be rendered differently,
for It does not mean ''into" at all
times. Moses, said he, "we are
told, went up into the mountain and
the Savior was taken into a high
mountain, etc. Now, we do not
suppose that either went mo a
mountain, but unto it. So with GO
ing down into the water; it means
simply going down close by. or near,
the water, and being baptised in the
ordinary way, by sprinkling or
pouring"
He carried this idea out fully,
and in due season and style closed
his discourse, when an invitation
was given for any so disposed to
rise and express his thonghts. a
number of the brethren arose and
said that they were glad that they
had been present on this occasion;
that they were pleased with the
sound sermon they had just heard,
and felt their souls greatly blessed.
Finally, a corpulent gentleman Of
Teutonic extraction, a stranger to
all, arose and broke the silence,
which was almost painful:
"AIr. preacher, I ish so glad I
wash here tonight, for I has had
explained to my mint some dings
dat I could never pellet pefore. o,
I am so glad dat into does not mean
into at all, but snust close py or
near to, for now 1 can pellet many
dings vot I could not pellet pefore.
We reat, Mr.. Breacher, dat Taniel
went into de ten of lions and came
out alifel Now, I never could pc
lief dat, for de wilt peasts would
shust eat him right of; now it ish
very clear to my mint. He wash
shust close py or near to, and tidn't
get into de ten at all. o, ish so
glad I wash here tonight
Again, we reat dat te Heprew
children wash cast into de firish
furnace-und dat always looked a
pig story, too, for they would have
peen purnt up; but it ish ali blain
to my mint now, for dey were shust
cast near by or close to de flrish
furnace. o, I ish so glad I wash
here tonight!
"And den, Mr.. Breacher, it ish
said dat Jonah wash cast into de
sea, and taken into de whales pei
". Now, I nefer could pellet dat.
1t always scent to me to pc a peeg
feesh story, put it ish all blain to
my mint now. He wash not into te
whales peIly at all, put shust shump
onto his pack and rote ashore. o,
/ ish so glad J. wash here tonight!
"And now, AIr. PREACHER. If you

ges of scriptures, I shall pc, OH so

One of dem is we're it saish de viek-

The Golden side.

There Is many > rest in the soad oflifs
If We could only stPp 70 take It;
And many tone from the bstter land.
Ifthe querulcus he art Word makeit
To the sunny soul that is full Of hope.
And whose bsautifdl trust ne'eF fsileth
The grass Is green and the flowers bright,
Though the winter storm prov sileth.
Better to hope tho the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted
For the sweet blue sky wili soon peep
through;
When the ominous clouds are Tifted;
There Wss never 8 night without DAY,
Or an evening without = mornings
And the darkest hour, as the pyoverb
Is the hour before the dHWning.
There is many gem in ths path Of life,
Which We pass in our idle pleasure.
That's richer far then the jeWeled crown,
Or the misers hoard Of treasure;
It may be the love of a little child,
Or mothers prayer to heaven
Or only beggar's eFa efai thanks
For OfcuP water q yea.
Better TO weave in The web Of life
Albright and golden filing,
And to do Gods will with q ready heart
And hands that are ready aud willing
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
OF oUr curious lives asundeF,
And thus blame hesyen for the tangled
ends,
And sit and grieve and wonder.

Why Women do Not Keep Pace
With Men,

Miss Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has long
hut most vigorous and lively article In
the last independent on phase Of the

stop in their mental developement and do
not keep up with men. She says
Boys and girls begin by being aston.

they go hand In hand. The first thing
we know the road splits, ind, before one
can tell what has happened, or why, or
how, he Is tripping down his side OF It,

This Is especially noticeable among

The reason of this state OF things, she
concludes, Is that "women's wits 60 into
