Weman and Home.

Woman. e., civilized woman-may
be defined as housekeeping animal.
The girl of three summers busying her
self with the cares of an automaton
famlly-dressing, undressing, and re-
dressing her doll-children, making her
playhouse beds, arranging her minia-
ture chairs and tables, setting out her
mimic tea-set, boiling her dwarf tea
kettle, and regulating the general econ
omy of her Lilliputian households
only type of the dignifed matron who
shall one day-unless nature is cheated
of her true vocation-preside in home
of her own, governing with a gentle
sway, and diffusing around her that
quiet felicity which more than compen-
safes for the loss of Eden.
Heaven did not intend women to be
the inmates of boarding houses. They
are out of their element in all such
abiding-places. There are cratic ex-
ceptions to the general rule, but the
true sphere of really womanly woman
is her own home-her true EMISSION"
to make her husband and her children
happy. Her heart more than her head,
'marshals her the way she should CO."
Her affections, her wifely and motherly
love, instructs her intellect, sharpens
her perceptions, and gives force, en-
ergy and precision to her plans and
purposes. Such a woman prateth not
of her sex's rights-mourneth not over
its wrongs. She attends no conven-
tions, covets not the double -barrelled
garment, demands not a seat on the
bench, post in the State, or vote
through the ballot-box. Content with
the position assigned to woman by the
Almighty at the creation, and which
the prophets, patriarchs, apostles, and
the Saviour himself, have declared to
be most meet and seemly for the
weaker vessel" the good wife never
attempts to Overstep the limits of her
sphere, but makes that
sphere charmed circle, within which
the husband and father is disburdened
of his business cares, and enjoys full
ness of placid happiness which the out
side world can neither give nor take
away. Fortunate is he who hath such
a woman to wife; for she shall not only
smooth the roughness OF his earthly
journey, but lead him gently by the
haud toward heaven.

A Sumner.

No man, however low down in the So
cial scale, but has some redeeming
quality. Our friend who gave the church
members a well merited rebuke, ac-
knowledged the "corn" as to his failing,
and took particular pains to show up
theirs, They had parish in our church,
writes New England correspondent,
and the great question of the salary of
the pastor of Blank was up for discus
sion.-But the debate was like the han
die of pitcher-all on one side, nearly
every one tak.1g the ground that would
be impossible to go beyond the present
starvation point. At length, to the sur
prise of all, poor old man who was
never known to speak in meeting, rose,
and holding on by the pew to steady
himself, said "Mr. Chairman, they
call me q droll fellow, and so am !;
they call me drunkard, and SO 1 am /;
they call me a swearer, and it is true,
and I'm ashamed of of all !;
but amt half so much ashamed Of it
as am that have to live in town
where the people are to stingy to give
the minister a decent living" The ef-
feet of this short speech was very happy.
It shamed the people into duty and
decency, and the salary was increased
by the unanimous vote of the congrega-
ton.

The Light Most Favorable 10
Beauty.

Wincklemann relates that the young
girls of Rome, after they have been
promised in marriage, are seen by their
lovers for the first time in public, in the
rotunda of the Pantheon, because the
light enters there by a single opening in
the roof, and the light from above is
most favorable to beauty. Women are
the Judges and from their decision there
is no appeal. Man being the only one
among living beings to whom the up
right attitude is natural, it is fitting he
should receive the light from above, as
this enchances all the graces of the hu-
man figure, of which hight is the domi-
nant demension. The contrary is true
of the scenes of nature. The noun
tains, the hills, the trees, the rivers, the
ravines and the other accidents of the
landscape, lose a part of their character
and their form when lighted perpen-
dicularly. Thus field is never more
interesting for landscapist ihan when
it is traversed oblique!y, almost hOri-
zontally, by the rays Of the rising or
setting sun. In a gallery whose open
ings are made on the slope of the roof,
statues produce the most agreeable ef-
feet, and have the most dignity. A sheet
of light extends itself over the breast
enlarges il visibly, effaces the lower
part of the ribs, lessons the projection
of the abdomen but it is the human
head above all which under the light
from above reveals all its beauties. The
eyebrows become more prominent, the
eyes more brilliant under the dark
cavity followed by the arch OF the
brows, the cheek bones slightly raised.
the nose simplifed and heightened,
marked by luminous line that sup
ports the shadow thrown where the
black of the nostrils is softened and
lost. Let the light come from below,
all the beautiful order is overthrown.

A correspondent of the London times,
who was in Bilbao Immediately after
the raising of the siege, says many of
the inhabitants have pale, famine
stricken looks, but the majority have
suffered less than might have been ex.
pected, although their privations have
been very severe. A room was shown
to me in which many persons were
huddled together, among them a women
in child-bed. heard another family
which for seven weeks lived in cellar
sleeping in their clothes. Many have
naturally suffered from want of light
and air /; food also was scarce and bad,
and for the last five days there was no
bread, and garbanzos and maize cakes
were used as substitutes. Cats and rats
are said to have been eaten commonly.
Horsef1esh was As. pound, veal 8s., one
egg Is, a cabbage 3s. There was little
wine, and that of bad quality.
1.-The inhabitants deserve the highest
credit for their resolute endurance.
They declare they were prepared to hold
out another month. Few lives have
been lost less than thirty. Great pre-
caution was taken, doors and windows
being fortified with sand bags and
planks, and watchMen placed in towers
to observe the besieging batteries and
blow horns warning people to retire
within doors whenever a gun was fired.
The destruction Of property, however,
was terrible scarcely one house has es-
capped, the interior of many being de-
molished. One received forty-two shells,
another twenty-five. Scarcely a whole
pane of glass is to be seen anywhere.
The Carlists bombarded thirty nine
days and threw G, ,O00shells of old spheri-
cal pattern. In addition to the destruc-
ton inside the town. numerous houses
were set on fire by a portion of the
Bilbao Volunteers, who were angry with
the occupants for sympathizing with
the Carlists. Many farmhouses round
Bilbao are still in flames. Three bridges
in Bilbao have also been destroyed by
floods. The river is now clear, and the
first steamer that arrived since the siege
was loudly cheered by q large crowd.
The Carlists left behind three spiked
guns. Their precipitate retreat is said
to be owing to four battalions refusing
to fight

The celebrated anatOmist, Professor
Hyrtl, of the Vienna University, re-
Gently opened one of his lectures to his
class with the singular question :
(Which is the most beautiful foot, con
sidered from the anatomical stand
point - and then said: 1T is remark
able that there can be so many diver
gent opinions ON this subject. While
the sons of men look upon a small
slender and graceful foot Gf lady's
foot as an ideal one, the anatOmist ut
terly rejects it as beautiful, and only
the large, long and broad foot is the
ideal one in his eyes. Even the great
est classical writers of antiquity
Horace, Catullus and others-whO had
great appreciation of feminine beauty,
never mentioned, in the description of
their beloved, their small feet. The
people belongingto the Celtic race have
small feet, the Hind0os, especially, have
such small feet and hands that they
NAV be envied by manv European
To1utesses. The greatest beauties Of
Europe-the Italians-have really long
and broad feet"

The Romance OF . Millionaire.

The Paris papers announce the death
of Baroness Michaela de Pontalba. a
native of New Orleans, and the late
owner of princely estates in that city;
the daughter of Don Andres Almenas-
ter. the Spanish intendant of finances
of the colony of Louisiana, who founded
the cathedral in New Orleans and sew
eral charitable and religious institu-
tions, and who died, leaving his daugh-
ter the wealthiest then this side of the
Atlantic.
In those days, and indeed long after
ward, the fair demoiselies of the colony
finished their education at the convent,
and made their debut in society and the
fashionable world at a very early age.
And, indeed, marrying at fourteen and
fifteen years of age was no rare thing
for them to do. As Mile. Almenaster
was married in 1912, at the age Of nine
teen, to her cousin, the Baron de Pom
talba, it was some time ere that date
when she reigned belle in the parlors
of the old creole aristocracy, and where
she met the celebrated John McDon-
ough, the New Orleans millionaire. OF
marvellous beauty, and an heiress, the
young merchant fell an easy victim to
her charms, and his subsequent lonely
life and asceticism were attributable to
the early and crushing disappointment
of his love.
Young McDonough, from the cul-
tured society of Baltimore, obtained an
easy entire in the privileged circles of
the Southern capital, where his gay and
dashing habits and luxurious living soon
made him a noted parsonage 1t was not
long however before the bewildering
Spanish beauty led him captive. He
proposed marriage, but the answer he
received was as decisive as it was NOR
tifying. He was not rich enough to
marry the heiress of Don Andres AL
menaster.
In his bitter anger McDonough vowed
he would live and work until he was
richer than all the Almenasters and
Pontalbas put together. He kept his
word. A recluse from the moment of
his rejection, the energies of his pow
erful mind and indomitable will were
absorbed in getting. He accu-
mulated eight millions of dollars, and
died in lonely house, opposite New
Orleans, with only servants for attend
ants, a comparative stranger in the
city where he had lived all his life, and
of whose property he was SO largely the
owner.
In his death-hour he talked incohe-
rently of his early disappointment and
desired that small painting on ivory,
supposed to be likeness of his early
charmer, be buried with him. 1t was
done, and so faded from tine world his
romance and his life.

A school for all.

When look upon the tombs Of the
great, every emotion Of envy dies; when
1 read the epitaphs of the beautiful,
everyinordinated desire forsakes me;when
1 meet with the grief of parents upon q
tombstone, my heart melts with COM
passion when 1 see the tombs of the
parents themselves, I reflect how vain
it is to grieve for those whom we must
quickly follow; when see kings lying
beside those who deposed them, when 1
behold rival wits placed side by side,
or the holy men who divided the world
with their contests and disputes, 1 re-
fleet with SORROW and establishment on
the frivolous competitions, factions,
and debates of mankind.

laughed the lady, and Toms eyes were
something worth seeing when he heard
that laugh. ''Dear, dear It's too
good to keep Oh, Tom !! Don't you
know me?"
Up went the brown veil, and there
stood Kittie, her face perfectly con-
vulsed with merriment.
"I'll be shot if it isn't my wife =

faint, or do something equally divert
ing.

Bernard. 81 declare, If that isn't the

"Just one," whispered Kittie to Tom,
with her eyes full of mischief. ''Silence

another one?"
Toms face was as red as the rose in
Kittie's hat.

you'll get me that lavender silk, I"
finished Kitty.
"Yes, I'll do it," cried Tom. "Just
say it's bargain.
"And you'll never do so again p
added Kittie.
''Never, as sure as my names Tom
Vernon" said Tom silently.
.'Well. on those terms, agree to say
nothing about it, butt was so rich T.
and Kittie couldn't help laughing till
she cried. "Oh, Tom, to think of it -
Tom declares now that he knew who
the lady in the brown veil was all the
time, but he can't make his wife be-
ieve it. She got the lavender silk, and
the transaction bids fair to be a lucky
one for her, because if she wants any
thing she has only to say Just one y
and ''Silence gives consent y and Tom,
looking decidedly sheepish, is sure to
come to terms.

remembrance. For Williams, on his
way to the battlefield as Colonel of a
Massachusetts regiment, which was
made up in part from his old comrades
ut the fort. made his will at Albany,
and devised all his property to the
founding of free school in the west
township ON the HOOsac, provided that
when the boundary lines were drawn
between New York and Massachusetts
the township should fall within the
latter and should be called Williams
town. Both these conditions were met,
and the free school became Williams
College in 1893, and the town has been
proud of the genial memory of its
founder from that day to this. The
sword and the watch of Colonel Viii
liams, both of them ON his person when
the fatal bullet struck him, now hang
as memorials in the trustees room of
the college.
The town is equally remarkable for
the quiet beauty of its valley, and for
the boldness and variety of the noun
tain scenery about it. 1t is, indeed, as
Rufus ChOate once expressed it on the
spot, surrounded by an eternal poem

Poetry.
EARL HALDAN's DAUGHTER.

1t was Earl Haldans daughter,
She lookd across the water,
And long and loud laugh'd she;
The locks of six princesses
Must be my marriage fee,
SO hey. bonny boat, and no, bonny boat,
Who comes a-wooing me-"
Ii was Earl Hsldans daughter,
She walked along the sand;
When she was aware of a knight so fair.
Come sailing TO the land
His sails were all of velvet
His mast of beaten gold,
And hey, bonny boat and no, bonny boat
Who saileth here SO bold =
The locks Of five Processes
won beyond the sea;
l shore their golden tresses
To fringe a cloak for thee.
One handful vet is wanting,
But one of all the tale,
So hey, bonny boat, and no. bonny boat,
Furl up thy velvet sail -
He leapt into the water,
That rover young and bold;
He gript Earl Haldan's daughter;
He shore her locks of gold:
Go weep go weep, proud maiden,
The tale is full, to-day.
50 hey, bonny boat, and no, bonny boat
Sail westward no, and away :"

THE RoPE.-Two young, ragged boys
whose names were Guy and Jack, found
an old rope lying in the road, over the
possession of which they disputed long
and loud. Guy snatched one end and
Jack the other, and both pulled with
all their force to get it. Suddenly the
rope broke and both fell backward down
into the mud, presenting a pitiable
appearance.
A passer-by said to them, at this very
moment, ''Behold what happens to
quarrellers For the most worthless
trifie they become angry at each other |;
and what then results? They cover
themselves with ridicule and shame
before the eyes of everybody, just as
you now stand before me covered with
mud and dirt"

always brings evil in its train,
