bert, whose opinions on all subjects con-
nected with the present state of Japan
are entitled TO great weight, emphsti-
cally sets forth the approaching changes
In the civilized world which win result
from the new commercial relations be-

from the rapid growth of European colo

the establishment OF sort of Britannia

All the region north of that point will be
drawn into the Orbit Of San Francisco,
which now stretches arms TO Mexico and
British America, 70 China and Japan.
This wonderful city must become the
center Of the teleRraphic system of the
two worlds. The European malls from
China, since the eompleiion of the Pacific

Gradually her keenest sorrow spent
itself, and vending her way at last to
her favorite playground, near her par

as she had ever been TO congenial soci-

alone in the midst of the companiOnship

more about what pleases me, than every

Nature Against Woman Suffrage.


In a review of n chapter on Woman
Education in Hillards Sixth Reader,
which classes woman suffrage rs . war
against Nature, Henry b. Blackwell,
in the WOmdt'S Journal, after quot
ing some of the Objectionable passages,
says
''As a taxpayer of Boston, I demand
either that Hillardis Sixth Beader be
/ excluded, or that this passage be eX-
plunged. lam unwilling thatmy money
should be used to pervert the minds of
children by justifying the meanest and
subtlest form of aristOcracy-thep pOliti-
cal aristOcracy of sex.
"The contempt for wOman's intellect,
which prevades society like an atmOs-
phere, has its foundation in an unen-
lightened public sentiment. By u
thousand such influences as the above,
in the family, in the church, in litera-
ture, in society, even in the school, the
minds OF our children are warped and
perverted from their very cradles, and
the masculine instinct to rule and the
feminine instinct to obey, and that equal
rights for men and women would be a
reform against Nature"
Against Nature! Why, three centu-
ries ago, suffrage for lawyers, physi-
clans, merchants, and manufacturers
was thought contrary to Nature. Only
noblemen were entitled to rule. Two
centuries ago, suffrage for Baptists and
Roman Catholics was contrary to Ma
ture in Massachusetts. Only members
of Orthodox churches were entitled to
rule. y hundred years ago, suffrage for
farmers, mechanics, and day labOrers
was contrary 10 Nature. Only the
1fltx- untitled TO
years ago, suffrage for negro men was
contrary to Nature. Only white men
were entitled to rule.
1t is time this scarecrOw was abolished.

once I was young and pure, with golden hair
And violet eyes. The rose and lily
Blended DER my checks, and when smiled
Ripe, crimson lips displayed white, nesting
teeth.
Ny form was melody sOlidihcd,
Possessing qualities that men do love
And women envy. Artists thought ofme
While dreamingiy creating their ideals.
The dag passed in music, love and flowers
Morn opening like the prelude 10 an air,
Night but tuning the instrument anew.
Life seemed a garden Of endless delights,
And was happy, for then beheld
The world with youthful eyes, and never
dreamed
That blackest subterranoan hells were arched
By lovely gardens fair.
'Tis past. fell!
Alas! alasi alasi and now my life's
4 dead flower, scentleSs and cOlOrless, that
Lies midst the rubbish on the dirty road.
Passing feet crush me deeper I'm the dust,
TIL I am lost from sight amid the slime.
o why, my God! o why, o why IS this?
See! seei how when pass along the street
They all do shrink and shudder as gOi
And yet I've harmed them not, nor yet am
Leprous nor contagious-still do they shrink
And men who creep into my den at night
Pass quickly by, lest ! should recognize;
And only children, with their sunny eyes,
Smile on memo, no, no, they do not knowi
o, that my mother had but strangled me
When lay sleeping guilelcSs in her arms!
Then what am never would have been
This hideous present that my soul doth lOathe
o would that death were an enteTnal sleep,
UnbrOken either by heaven or hell!
How gladly, madly, would take the leap,
And fling my woes into eternal night
Think they such as can know no love?
That my poor weeping heart no feeling hath?
That all its nObler sentiment is dead?
All, should / dare reveal its secret throb,
Its yearnlng love for one he'd coarsely scof
And mock and laugh; TO him IL is jest;
To me it's dearer far than all the stars
The altar fmy highest, fairest hope
The single castle Of my iondest dream;
And when found 1t rudely dashed todusi,
took a drug 10 lull me of to sleep
To sleep 10 never wake on earth again.
Alas. they brought me back 10 life and woe.
