reasonable rates. The house is

hardly right to ratify my friends senti-
ment at the expense of justice.
Our great national experiment stands
to-day in peril. Every heart must sink
at the frequent manifestations of cor
ruptiOn in high places as well as low.
In our largest commercial city, in our
halls of Congress, proof piles on proof
that there is rottenness at the core. |
see but one hope. Before it is too late
we must learn our errors. We must be
what we are vainly striving TO seem.
/ believe in a Republic, but not in
name which is lie. We are false,
when we call this Government by so
grand name, and it is a falsity which
is eating away our NationOl life. We
need to ponder well CicerO's noble words,
''Sine summa justitia republican geri
nullo mOdo posse" Without the high
est justice republic can in no way be
carried on
The pressing necessity Of our cause is
not only the work of the platform, but
of the homes. Not only should we Use
logic, or write essays all that has been
done and done again. What do we
learn by it? that women have
brains ? Men knew that before. What
is needed is a race of women who are
willing To testify tliaL lhey doli ilAe
slavery, who find in their souls some
thing which rebels against mastership
enforced by law. We want souls at
white heat with this love of liberty.
Such souls alone wOrthily praise God
for the boon Of existence.
Women have heen falsely trained to
consider that their duties and their in
terests ended with the care of the family
and the culture of self. From this We
are gradually recovering. The appeal
to woman now Is, not to hold her best
powers out of the reach of humanity.
1t is not enough to lift the heart in as
piration. The helping hand must be
reached down to the humblest.
1t is the glory of our Age that more
than any other, it is seeking to lay all
that i high and noble at the feet OF hu-
manity. This is the very spirit Of
Christ, who did not cherish his virtues
aloOf but showed them TO US under q
crown Of thorns, who were then not rs a
kingly robe, but made them the shining
drapery of the cross.
With His purpose may we take up
our rwork. Into His spirit may we be bap-
! tiZed

CHAPTER II.

CHAPTER IL.
Jacob Graham, the husband Of dear
Aunt Betsey, had become an old man,
infirm in mind and body. As the hus-
band of her more than mother, who
now lay quietly sleeping under the
snow-drifts in the village graveyard,
poor Ellen loved and reverenced him.
The hOrrid imputations of guilt, which
he and she were not only compelled to
endure in private from the angry lips Of
her husband, and which shocked her
senses till her poor enfeebled brain
reeled for a season under the cruel blow,
had now become public, and the revela-
tion stung the hitherto apathetic woman
into sudden resolves and deeds, so un-
like the lethargy Of many previous
months that she was herself astonished.
She received the writing of divorce
ment" with a hard, cold smile. AS the
magistrate, at her request, read the con-
tents aloud, she betrayed emotion by a
nervous tremor of her eyeiids, while hel
heart gave great thump, and then
stood still.
Monotonously the man of law reaC
on "And the plaintiff further prayi
that the custody of the children b'
granted him as q natural right, tina
they may be kept entirely free from til,
contaminating influence of such
mother He also prays"-
'iMy God" shrieked Ellen, starting
up. "He don't mean that Pm a vile
wicked hiHg-not fit to see my owl
children! The law cannot, it surel,
will not take advantage of poor, weal
woman! I'd have left the monster lon
ago if it hadn't been for my children
And now he must not, shall not teacI
them TO despise mer'
Relieving his plethoric jaws Of an ex
ira load of tobacco juice, the magistrat
answered:
"You see, the crime you are charge
with is a very grave one. You hav
forfeited all right to your husband
property or children"
Ellen did not scream or faint. Risin
slowly and confronting the stolid fe'
lures Of the man, she stood before hil
with naughty dignity. Until then 81
had not fully comprehended the awf
humiliation of her position.
sTTell Peter Dowd that l despise al
defy him! He knows am not gull
