remind them that the progress of science

into their hands the former ayocations
of women. The baking, brewing, spin

the substitution of machine for hand

We have forgotten that this woman
formerly contributed to the support of
the household, and assumed that every
woman has been sought to be MAIN
tanned in idleness by her father, hus-
band, or brother. In the ranks Of the
English aristocracy some provision is
made for the female members of the
family but when you quit the narrow
confines of this class you find hundreds
OF women compelled, like men, to seek
their own bread. "And it is a terrible
incident of our social existence" saws
the London Times, ''that the resources
open TO women of gaining a livelihood
are so few. At present, the language
practically held by modern society to
destitute women, is: Marry, stitch, die,
or do worse" / propose, in a second

CHAPTER XII.
DEATH OF cATHEEINE DE- 1uDcI


DEATH or CATHERINE DE NuDCI.
1t was about four months after the
events recorded in the last chapter. The
holidays had been spent with all the
glee and varied pleasures which so
happy and united family We're capable
Of enjoying.
The Christmas garlands Of evergreen
were beginning to look faded as the
bright spring sun shone in at the win
dows Of Colonel Hewitt's comfortable
and magnificent library. The trees
were once more waving in their vernal
splendor, while the perfumed air was
redolent with the breath Of crocus, hya-
cinth, narciscus and many other sweet
spring flowers. The grass, which had
just sprung forth into new life, here and
there disclosed the retreat Of the little
violet, seeming almost afraid to lift its
gentle head for fear Of meeting with a
cool rebuke from grim old Winter, who
often, 10th TO leave US, retraces his steps
for a day or two, leaving the marks of
his icy touch on the hearts Of some Of
our fairest flowers.
The old halls at Captain Marsh's had
again echoed to the tread OF youthful
feet, and the walls had once more vi
brated to the sound of the ancient sire's
voice rs he laughed a heartier laugh
than usual, while the lively jokes were
handed about, and the cup Of foaming
cider was drained in honor Of the New
Year. All had been life and gaiety, and
grandma Marsh declared she felt as
young as in the days of ''sweet sixteen:n
it did her so much good, she said, to see
the dear children enjoy themselves, and
to show that she really felt as she said.
she and grandpa had kept time to the
tune Of ''Come, Haste to the Wedding
much to the amusement of the young
people, by whom she was nearly idol
lied.
All this had passed by, and though
there were less signs of merriment, anC
quietness seemed to reign within tn,
homes of our friends, yet they were moi
idle, nor were their hearts so inflated
with past pleasures that they were in
capable Of enjoying the present; on the
contrary, all seemed to feel new life anC
vigor as the feathered songsters warblet
forth their glad peals to welcome in the
first month of spring.
1t is near the close Of March that we
again meet our heroine. Once more we
find her in her little boudoir. where we
hrst became acquainted with her. Her
old friend sits beside her in a COW little
rocking chair, looking so ethereal that
you would scarcely recognize the once
gay and thoughtless Blanche svoot
sad smile rests upon her lips. and tbe
little spot Of crimson deepens upon he,
cheek as she listens to the words Of 60,

Silent Orators.
a rINr THEME ron nrDIcrIE.

1t is very well known that the Presi-
dent does not possess what is vulgarlv
called "the Gift of gab.n He cannot
make an eXtempore speech, nor, we be-
lieYe. a. speech of any kind. His life
has shown that he can face hostile
force, when bullets and cannon balls are
flying about like hail, with perfect cool
ness and self-p0ssessiOn; but an array of
upturned faces, though ever so friendly,
puts him out of himself; he hesitates,
stammers, and, finally, retires rs dumb
as an oyster. There is many a shallow
pated, empty-hearted fellow, who has
never done a solitary thing TO redeem
his life from perfect contempt, who viii
talk on his feet by the hour, on almost
any subject; and yet this silent, quiet
soldier of ours, who has performed
achievements that will live by the side
of the most renowned in history, is COM
paratively tOngueless-
1t is n great convenience and some
times pleasure, to Others as well as to
ourselves, to be able to improvise 4 neat,
facile, able, or even vOluble discourse;
but it is no demerit not to be able to do
it, much less a disqualification or dis
grace. Some of the most intellectual
and cultivated men that the world has
ever known have shared the inability
with less gifted mOrtals. Our most
philosophical and learned President,
Jefferson, whose writings are regarded
as models, changed the messages of the
Executive to Congress from oral into
written discOurses, because of his aver
sion TO the former; while our most active
and energetic President, jackson, was
almost as incapable Of making speech
as President Grant is. The most cOpiOus
and graceful among our old authors,
Washington Irving, could scarcely de
liver an ordinary dinner toast with
cOmpOSure. Hawthorne, whom a large
critical authority pronOunces the best
writer of English that ever lived, would
run away rather than face the COM
mOnest audience, and one of our most
illustrious poets makes it the condition
of his attending public dinner that he
shall not be called upon to say word.
Artists, like literary men, are supposed
to have some degree of nous, but who
that has been invited to one of their
symposia cannot recall some pitiable
night, when even the best among them
has been got upon his legs?
Eloquence is charming, and the
faculty of easy and graceful utterance to
be desired by all men, just as every
woman ought to wish to sing with ex-
quisite skill, but it is no more discredit-
able to a man not to be q DemOsthenes
or an Everett than it is for 4 woman not
to be q Nilsson or 4 I.ucca.

INFLUENCE OF a SMILE.-There n
nothing which makes the human face
so attractive rs bright smile. It breaks
over the countenance like the sunlight
through the rain clouds after a shower,
and it enlivens all upon whom it rests.
4 couutenance, ever so stOlid and I'M
passable and hard, often becomes
sOftened, vivacious and charming under
the influence of a smile. There is some
thing indeseribable about a smile, and a
great deal of character is often exhibited
in il. No man or woman with a really
bad heart ever possessed an open, smil-
ing face, which brought peace and glad
ness with il. Beware of the man who
never smiles, for ''the motions of his
spirit are dull rs night, and his afiec-
tiOns areas dark rs Erebus."
The smile of tenderness and affection
from the mothers face greets us upon
our entry on the journey of life, and the
recollectiOns of il fingers sweetly in the
heart while reason lasts. The smile oi
encouragement in distress or sickness, is
often worth more than money or medi-
cines. In the domestic circle it lightens
the burden of life, and makes the hard
est lot cheerful and endurable. 1t is the
offspring of Hope, and the pledge o.
amity between friends. \ broad smile
was never inspired by bitter thought
or an uncharitable desire. In the face
where smiles prevail, happiness reigns
and a gentle human charity dwells in
the bosom of such. 4 smile is the Ian
guage of kindness and fOrbearanee, and
il emanates only from the soul in har-
mony with nature, and at peace with all
the world.

Keep II Before the People.
IA RACHEL p. LEFEvRE.

"a RACHEL y. LEFEyEE.
Keep it before the people, that this world is
moving on.
That darkness fast is fading and light Will vet
be won;
The darkness oi past ages shall quickly Zee
away,
And Gods own light nlumine the pure and
perfect day.
Keep it before the people, that right shall tn
umph yet;
Wrong shall mol always prosper, for God the
line hath SCI
That checks its onward progress, ''no farther
shalt thou go,
Thou shalt not tempt thy brother 10 deeper sin
and woe"
Keep it before ihe people, the sabbath shall be
blest
To those who keep il holy, for worship and FOR
rest;
Not FOR rioting and drinking must that day be
e'er proianed;
MOI with such a a.ackenlng record must our
nations name De stained.
God lives and ruieth ever, though inhdeis may
plan,
Though politicians barter the heaven-born
rights Of man;
Though brother tempteth brother to wicked
ness and crime,
His ear is over open, and He watches all the
time.
Keep it before the people, that His name must
be revered;
No nation e'er shall prosper unless His power
is feared;
No nation e'er shall flourish unless His laws
are loved,
But by trials, sore and greyious, will It's loyalty
be proved.
Has the bloody lesson taught US all so unavail-
ing been?
Are its terrors all forgotten when by us no
longer seen?
That We turn from one oppression only 10 op-

sin and pain?

temptation lie
Where his daily footstep passeth, and the
teInpter meets his eye?

Then rouse, ye nobIc-hearted ones. come forth
