THE SELF-ABNEGATIoN OF WOMAN.
The chamomile plant, as we all know,
when trodden upon exhales n sweet per-
Iume. Corresponding qualities of wOm-
ans nature have been so assiduously cul-
tlVatedi and have attained so rank a
growth that they have overrun, and
weil-nlgh exterpated the more majestic
traits OF her character; leading the
shallow-minded and unthinking to re-
gard them as the distinguishing charac-
teristics of her sex.
Through all past Ages, submission to
the authority of q husband has been
estimated as one of the chief of womanIv
virtues. Even woman herself, in her
blindness, has placed man upon the
throne OF her moral nature, and has
bowed In unquestiOned obedience to his
mandates; well pleased if, by long life
OF unrequited toll, she could add TO his
wealth or advancement upon that grand
arena Of the outside world, from which,
on account of her sex, she was forever
debarred. Even when trOdden into the
dust, and her most sacred rights wrested
from her grasp, she has endeavored by
entreaties, and tears, and an exhibition
of unabated, and inextinguishable affec-
tion, to melt the heart of the tyrant.

the oppressOr and the oppressed have
taken long step onward and upward.
Man is becoming ashamed of his pusil-
ianimity and cowardly treatment of
woman; and woman, rising from her
bowed and cramped attitude, is standing
erect, and with new life pulsating
through her veins, sees her horizon
widening every hour, and new Oppor-
tunities of culture offered to her aspiring
mind; together with cOngenial employ
ment, and more varied spheres Of use

-oman's Enemies in Eng ID

The Woman Suffrage discussion in
Englsnd, recently, provoked q .,,Od deal
of Ia Shter, rs well as much heated
recrimination, and was plainly indi-
cative of q tendency to ignore and put
out of sight the claims of the fairer sex.
In the House of Commons the laughter
was irrepreSsible, and the Speaker was
even addressed with mock mOurnfulness
by one gentleman, who said that he was
probably addressing the last male oc-
eupant of the Speakers chair.u Mr..
Jacob Bright's bill, which caused the
main discussion and ridicule, simply
proposed to extend the suffrage to
women hOuseholders, and was in
tended as preliminary to proposing to
give suffrage to all adult women, mar
ried or single. Some prominent poll
ticians expressed themselves rather
plainly about the bill, announcing that
they should vote against it, because
they did not believe women generally
desired to vote, and because they had
been heartily disgusted at the course of
the "women politicians in reference to
the contagious disease legislation. One
organ of the Administration boldly as
serted, in recOunting the story of the
debate, that the best educated women
lldu cOuSplcuOuSly SHOWN their unfit
ness for politics during the past wear.
The most advanced liberals in the Com
mons voted against the bill-amonp
them Messrs. Childers, Clay, Colman'
and Winterbotham. Disraeli'
on the contrary, voted for it, and will
fight for it.
'The women of England, if they had
their own way, would put back the
clock an hundred years. says the Spec
tdtOr, and echoes a very general opinion
among Englishmen. The English act
on the principle that political rights
are granted, not to crafty sentiment.
but TO benefit the community; and
therefore they think women, in their
present uneducated state, should not be
allowed rights which might permit
them to injure the commonwealth.
They recognize in them a conservative
force which would be disastrous for4
England if it suddenly developed in itsd
midst. And therefore they put aside,
the attempt TO gain suffrage, even FOR
house-holding women, with ridicuie,
trying to smother it as speedily as posi-
sible.

y WORD To FATHERS.-We have read
n story Of 4 little boy, who, when he
wanted a suit of clothes, begged his
mother to ask his father if he might
have it. The mother suggested that the
boy might ask for himself ~ would, -
said the boy, "but 1 don't feel well
enough acquainted with him. There
is sharp reproof to his father in the
reply of his son. Many a father keeps
his children so at q distance from him
that they never feel confidentially
acquainted with him. They feel that
he is sort of monarch in the family.
They feel no familiarity with him.
They fear him and respect him, and
even love him some, and children can
not help loving some everybody around
them; but they seldom get near enough
to him to feel intimate with him. They
seldom go TO him with their little wants
and trials; they approach him through
the mother. They have a highway to
her heart on which they go in and out
with perfect freedom. In this keeping
off plan fathers are to blame. Children
should not be held Off Let them come
near. Let them be as intimate with the
father as with the mother. Let their
little hearts be freely opened. 1t is
wicked To freeze up the love fountains
in the little ones hearts-fathers do
them an injury by living with them as
strangers. This drives many a child
away from home for the sympathy his
heart Graves, and often into improper
society. 1t nurses discomfort and mis-
trust, which many n child does not out
grow in lifetime. Open your hearts
and your arms, oh, fathers; be free with
your children; ask for their wants and
trials; play with them; be fathers to
them truly, and they will not need a
mediator between themselves and YOU.

Mrs. EDWIN FORREST AT HER HUs-
BANDS BIER.-AIrs. Edwin Forrest, the
tragedian's wife, was, according to the
statement of a reporter, at her husbands
funeral. He says:
"Sitting at the window facing Broad
street, and with no one near her, her
arms resting listlessly on her knees, her
fingers nervOusly drumming and towing
with each other, was Catharine Sinclair.
the divorced wife of the dead. III any
one knew who she was they appeared to
keep their distance. She arrived yester-
day morning and entered the house at
half-past twelve. She was draped in
deep mourning, with a double black
Grape vail flowing nearly to her feet
She moved nervOusly toward the rear
parlor, where the remains were living
There were but five or six persons in
the room. Throwing aside her vail
she.stood for nearly ten minutes, placed
her hand upon his head, and followed
the arm down to the hand, which She
grasped for a few minutes. Then she
glided toward the foot Of the coffin and
plucked one or two flowers from the
cross which lay upon the dead mans
feet. She then moved rapidly 10 the
front parlor, where she was seated until
the coffin left the house.n

Real Lace.


We take fashion criterion and read
that "sham lace, like sham iewelry. is
vulgar" and further, that real "valen-
ciennes, of the requisite width for trim
ming, can be purchased at from S3 to Sc
a yari."
Many a lady whose circumstances
will not allow her to pay one dollar a
yard for lace, will grieve more heartily
over this fact than that ST 4, failing to
obey her God, must be accounted a sim
ner.
That it is conceded fact by the FASH
iOnable world, that to wear imitation
lace is decidedly vulgar, does not make
it rule without many beautiful excep-
tions.
The world over, there are noble ladies,
poor, il you please to call them poor,
who could not buy single yard of
real lace without making somebody suf-
fer.
The already burdened husband must
work harder; the children must 20
without many grateful comforts the
meals can be more frugal-indeed, very
pinehed and meager if our gentle, mod
est lady wears real lace.
Then If she, wOman-like, admires real
lace, and cannot, without sad sacrifice
'iOi tAOoS sue iONtSi purchase real lace,
and buys neat, inexpensive imitation
to relieve the plainness of her toilet,
what then?
Well, she walks quietly down the Av-
enue, meeting gay and gorgeously at
tired ladies, whose laces cost more than
her entire wardrobe. They look at her
and significantly nod, and speak, too, so
her ear catches the echo, "What vulgar
taste, wearing sham lacesv'
The pink on her cheek deepens to car
mine, and for moment an indignant
feeling possesses her heart, but again
glancing up towards the beautiful Sky,
the glory Of life to come shines in her
soul, and a smile, sweet as an angels,
fingers on her half-parted lips.
She stops to buy her husband the new
book he 50 much wanted, and gets Dula
the simple game of Parcheesi to enter
tain him with evenings, and Arlie the
slippers she needed SO much. She walks
briskly home To find that Anna, "maid-
of-all-work," has dinner nearly ready,
and adding few graceful touches to the
table, by fruit and flowers, she welcomes
with a free and happy heart husband
and children.

WOMEN IN SOCIETY. Imagine So
ciety given upwhOlly TO the sterner sex!
Fancy an array of hats and coats only
at fairs, concerts, lectures and social en-
tertainments? Think of parties with
out the blooming faces of girls, and the
benignant smiles of the matronsi What
could be more funereal? If for no other
reason the absence of the dainty and be-
witching toilets, i'm which women en-
trench themselves, would make parlOrs
and assemblies like gardens without
flowers. Say what you will, circle of
the period, the dress of the present day
with all its wonderful and mysterious
arrangements, is picturesque and becOm-
ing, and fills up the modern drawing
room with fine effect. The fault of
American society, or at least its misfor-
tune, IS that it is, TO too great degree,
IN the hands of young girls. Nothing
prettler than a girl in her first youth
can be found i'm this world She IL
sweet as a half-opened rosebud. and If
the rosebud knew how beautiful IL was.
It would perhaps never want to be a
rose. But girls cannot give tone and
color TO the social circle, as maturer
women can, whose lives are enriched bv
various experiences. Mothers mistake
when they stay habitually in the back
ground, and give up their fit places i'm
the world to their young daughters;
married ladies owe it to their husbands
and children, and to themselves, to give
up no charming accomplishments of
their girlhood to live so that they shall
be arbiters of taste to their girls, not
suffering themselves to be called old
fashioned and behind the age. The
powerof woman is almost without limit,
in whatever direction it is exerted. In
fluence, that quiet, silent thing, gentle
as the dew-drop, and as potent 70 re-
fresh, belongs to wives, mothers, sisters,
friends. Have we any right TO fold IL
up in a napkin or bury it out Of sight2

The Scientific ABlericdl says the fol-
lowing story is going the rounds of the
newspapers, and would be decidedly rich
if it were only true:
A verdent looking VermOnter ap-
peared at the Office of a chemist with n
large bundle in yellow bandanna, and
opening it exclaimed: ''There, doctor
look at that" "WeI," said the doctor.
'I see it," "What do you call that,
dOctorP az call it iron pyrites.n
"What, isn't that golden 'sNo,'' said
the doctor, and putting some over the
fire, it evaporated up the chimney.
''Well," said the poor fellow, with
woe-begOne look, "thereis 4 widder
woman up in our town has a whole hill
of that, and I've been and married her."
That the poor fellow had married the
widow for the sake of the hill of pyrites
is very true, but that the pyrites evap-
GRATED up the chimney is simply impOs-
sible, and such statement is to be re-
gretted because the inexperienced may
be led to believe that if a bright, yellow
metallic looking mineral does not evap-
crate when strongly heated, it must be
gold. There are several minerals which
are sometimes mistaken for gold, but
the two which are most apt to give rise
to deception in this matter are pyrites
and mica, and hence they are some
times called FOOLS gold. The method of
distinguishing between them and gold
is very simple, and requires no compIi-
Gated apparatus. Gold is mallea6le.
that is, it can be beaten out into thin
leaves under the hammer, while the
others crumble to powder. Moreover.
gold is easily cut with knife, while If
We attempt to cut pyrites it breaks up,
and mica is in fine powder; however,
in that it most resembles gold, and in such
cases its weight betrays its character
Gold Is nearly twice as heavy as lead;
even by posing it in the hand, we can
tell that lead is much heavier than
mica.

ENERsON's ESTIMATE OF WOMAN
Speaking of the curious contemporaries
ouSness OF inventions and discoveries, he
says:
1.-THE truth is in the air, and the most
impressionable brain will announce it
first, but all will announce it few
minutes later. So women, as most
susceptible, are the best index of the
coming hour. So the great man, that is
most imbued with the spirit of the time,
is the most impressionable man, of a
fibre irritable and delicate, like iodine
to light. He feels the infinitessimal at
fractions. His mind is brighter than
others because be yields to a current so
feeble as csn be felt only by needle
delicately poised.n

WoMAN's EC0NoMY.-In the man.
agement of the family, it is the hus-
bands duty TO provide and the wife's to
econOmiZe. Many wives have to learn
II in the end, who, had they known it
IN the commencement of married life,
would have saved themselves, their
husbands and their children from infin-
ate sorrow.
1t is the stock in trade of many writ
ers for the papers to cast slurs on the
daughters of the rich, about their frivol-
ity and extravaganza, but n multitude
of cases can be pointed out where wom-
an born to wealth-by their economies,
voluntary, and from principle, from a
sense Of duty-have in time of mercun-
tile disasters, nobly turned their ener-
gies and their corporations to the saw
ing of the "house.n
On the OCCASION of panic, one of our
merchant princes came home late one
evening, bearing the terrible intelligence
to his wife that his failure was ineyita-
ble next day, that all his resources were
exhausted, and that the financial disas-
tiers were so great that he could not
raise among his friends another dollar,
and that he needed large sum. His
wife heard him with extraordinary

how much he needed, and taking down
the family Bible she opened it, and
turning over a leaf, found hundred
dollar bill, and then another, and
another, until more were counted than
the amazed husband wanted, and upon
inquiring where she obtained so large
an amount of money, she said that in
prosperous times he had given her such
a liberal amount for household and per-
sonal expenses, that she was enabled by
judicial economies in food and clothing
to lay aside a considerable amount every
week. Knowing the tickle character Of
mercantile life, she thought it might
answer a good purpose to do as she had
done.

CHAPTER NLIII.


Let Us pass over the succeeding six
months. Clarence and Sonora had be-
come quite domesticated in their warm.
sunny home.
Nothing had been left undone that af-
feetion could devise to promote the hap
piness Of Blanche, who still shared their
home with them, and whom they fond
ly hoped was fast recovering her former
elasticity Of spirits and health.
As we have not seen our heroine for
so long, suppose we visit her in her
Southern home. As we near the town
Of D., passing up Flint river, we can
scarcely refrain from exclaiming, "Oh,
what a lovely spot for a home" \ lit
tie distance from the rest OF the houses,
where the river forms a sort of minia-
ture lake, upon whose waters the sweet
scented breezes of the orange trees were
waited, might be seen one Of the pret-
tiest cottages, built in true Southern
style, with its broad verandah sweeping
majestically around it, while upon each
side Of the nicely graveled walk was
laid out a garden whose exquisite
beauty betrayed the careful hand of its
owner. In the midst Of clustering roses,
and beneath the leaves Of large pome-
granate, peeped forth from its white
marble basin a fountain, whose waters
as they sparkled in the sunlight every
once in a while revealed to view the lit
tie goldfish, as they bobbed up their
heads TO catch the insects, which, in
spite Of their feeble efforts to soar up
ward, would fall a prey upon the glis-
tening waters. As we enter into this
cozy retreat, surnamed Lake Cottage,
we are once more greeted with the
happy couutenance Of Sonora Pierpont.
The large French windows on the piazza
are open. a canary sings in one win
dow, while i'm the other hangs a cage
containingamocking bird, while rocking
to and fro, enjoying the balmy October
morning, while she busies herself be-
tween sewing and talking to her pets.
sits the mistress Of the establishment.
Upon the velvet couch within the recess
of the window reclines the fragile form
of our once light-hearted friend Blanche.
whose life is fast drawing to a close,
verifying the strange prediction of old
Katy, "At twenty years you'll join the
heavenly band"
On the opposite side Of the room, be-
side 4 window looking out upon the
lake, sits aunt Maggie, enjoying the
full beauties of the magnificent scenery
before her At Sonora's urgent request
she has promised TO spend the winter
with her.
But who is that singing as she smiles
upon the little cherub which every once
IN a while opens its large blue eyes to
see II Is still safe within its mothers
arms? Why, that is Adele. and upon
her lap rests her first born. the little
