Oliver Wendell Holmes on
Women.

\ WOMAN, notwithstanding she is
the best of listeners, knows her bust
ness, and it is Il woman's business to
please. don't say that it is not her
business to vote, but I do say womn
who does not please is false note in
the harmonies of nature. She may not
have youth, or beauty, or even m1mer,
but she must have something in her
voice or EXPRESSION, or both, which il
makes you feel better disposed toward
your race to look at or listen to. She
knows that as well as we do; and her
first question after you have been talk
inc your soul into her consciousness is,
Did pleas? a woman never forgets
her sex. She would rather talk with a
man than an angel, any day. Womanly
women are very kindly critics, except
to themselves, and now and then to
their own sex, The less there is ofsex
about woman, the more she is to be
dreaded. But take a real woman at
her best moment-well dressed enough
to be pleased with herself not so re
splendent as to be show and a SEN
sation, with the varied outside infuen-
ces that set vibrating the harmonic
note of her nature stirring in the air
about her-and what has social life to
compare with one of those vital in
terchanges Of thought and feeling with
her that make an hour memorable q?
What can equal her tact, her delicacy
of apprehension, her quiclness to feel
the changes Of temperature as the
warm and cold currents of thought
blow by turns? At one moment she is
microscopically intellectual, critical,
scrupulous in judgment as an analysts
balance, and the next as sympathetic
as the open rose that sweetens the wind
from whatever quarter it finds its way
to her bosom. 1t is in the hoSpitable
soul of a woman that a man forgets he
is a stranger, and so becomes natural
and truthful, at the same time that he
is mesmerized by all those divine
differences which make her a mystery
and Il bewilderment.

The Grant organs think ttat there

of a story. Here it is: a gentleman

mosquitoes. Gentleman. II say,

Borrow not q few" saith the Lord
to every believer. Go, thou sorrowing
one borrow empty vessels in which to
receive abundent consultations from
Christ. What magnificent grace shines
in the world empty! God will not pour
into vessels filed with creature supplies.
Thus it is manifest that the oil comes
direct from God; the word "empty"
shuts ont the creature. The words
"not few have room for God to en-
ter in. The hearts deep furrows are
so many deep vessels TO receive streams
Of comfort. The heart that has many
is furnished with vessels "not a few"
Faiths warrant is''B rrow not few"

Study and Beauty.

The woman who is Indifferent to
her looks is no true woman. God
meant woman to be attractive, to look
well, to please, and it is one Of her
duties to carry out this intention OF
her maker. But that dress is to do all,
and to suffice, is more than we can be
brought to believe. Just because we
do love to see girls look well, as well
as to live to some purpose, we would
urge upon them such cours1 Of rca /
ing and study as will confer such rs
no modiste can supply. a well known
author once wrote pretty essay on
the power of education to beauty-that
it absolutely chiseled the features :;
that he had seen many clumsy nose
and pair of thick lips so modified by
thought awakened and active senti-
ment as to be unrecognizable. And
we put it on that ground that we 50
often see people, homcly and mattrac-
tive in youth, bloom in middle life
into a sottened Indian Summer of
good looks and mellow tones.

A good anecdote is related Of Dr.
Rice, which entorces its own leSson.-
When he was at she head OF the Theo,
logical Seminary in Prince Edward,
one Of the out parishes of Virginia sent
to him for a minister. They as usual
in such cases, wanted a scholar, a
gentleman, an orator, pastor, fine
writer-in short, perfect minister.
They had formerly given $3.50 per
annum; but now, if they could get
such man as they wanted, they could
raise it to S4O5. The Doctor an
swered by telling them TO send to
heaven for DR.. Dwight, He was
the only such man he knew; and as he
had been living a good while on
spiritual food he might possibly live
on four hundred dollars

Many young men have an idea
that the focks of the golden calf are
clipped off and when he comes along
by then they have but to put forth the
hand and take. Not so, he must be
chased, and though fleet his step, if
you wish to win, you must keep pace,
regardless Of the sky, If you would
have money you must dig fv it.
