slurs on Women.

At q recent dinner in New York, at
which no ladies were present, a man, in
responding to a toast on "Women,"
dwelt almost solely on the frailty of the
sex, claiming that the best among them
were little better than the worst, the
chief difference being in the surround
ings.
At the conclusion of his remarks, a
gentleman present arose to his feet and
said:
81 trust the gentleman, in the appli-
cation of his remarks, refers to his own
mothers and sisters, and not to ours"
The effect of this most just and timely
rebuke was overwhelming, and the ma
ligner of women was covered with con-
fusion and shame.
This incident serves an excellent pur-
pose in prefacing few words which we
have for long time had it in our mind
to say.
Ofall the evils prevalent among young
men, we know of none more blighting
in its moral effects than the tendency to
speak slightingly ofthe virtue of women.
Now, is there anything in which young
men are so thoroughly mistaken as in
the low estimate they form of women
not of their own mothers and sisters,
Jnduh ONOuY OuJ vi OluGESY WllO1 LuHy lOT-
get, are somebody else's mothers and
sisters.
AS rule, no one who surrenders to
the debasing habit is safe to be trusted
with an enterprise requiring integrity
of character.
Plain words should be spoken on this
point, for the evil is general one and
deep-rOoted. If young men are some-
times thrown into society of thought
less, or even lewd women, they have no
more right to measure all women by
what they see of these than they would
have to estimate the character of hon.
est and respectable citizens by the de-
velopment of crime in our police courts.
Let young men remember that their
chief happiness in life depends upon
their entire faith in women. No worldly
wisdom, no misanthrOpic philosophy,
no generalization, can cover or weaken
this fundamental truth. 1t stands like
the record of God himself, for it is moth
ing less than this, and should put an
everlasting seal upon lips that are wont
to speak lightly of women-PackarG s

A CLUB FOR WOMEN AS WELL AS
MEN.-The Albermarle Club in London
is an association organized on the prin-
ciple of ignoring sex, and giving to men
and women together the ordinary faeili-
ties of London club. 1t is the first ex-
pertinent of the kind. There is a club
for women separately already on a small
scale, but there has never been one
where the two sexes met on even terms.
1t has the countenance of some of the
best women and men in England, and it
begins with over 300 members, having
accommodations for 500. There is a sep
crate drawing-rOOm for ladies and a
smoking-room for men, from which la
dies are expressly Xcluded-though
smoking among ladies is not unknown.
The dining-rOom is open to both, but if
a lady likes a cup of tea in the ladies'
drawing-room she may have that. At
present there is nothing in the rules to
prevent member of the club of either
sex from asking friend of either sex to
lunch or dinner. The only security ta-
ken on this point is that the name of the
guest and host shall be entered together
in book open to inspection. The mar
riage relation gave rise to some debate,
/ hear, in connection with the question
of membership, but it was decided that
the club had nothing to do with it-in
other words, that wife might bea menu
Der without her husband, and the hus-
band, of course, without his wife. The
experiment is made in perfect good faith,
and the club is entitled-since they
would make tito fair treatment. But
it is difficult to see. how its life can be
long prolonged without giving rise to
scandal,

Very nearly twenty years ago the author of
the following story, having always lived upon
a farm, and being wholly ignorant Of all prac-
tical knowledge of the literary world, her asso-
Citations confined TO the illiterate and strug-
CLING pioneers OF the land of her adoption, con-
ceived the idea of entering in some way the
worlds arena Of letters. Being possessed OF
fertile imagination, imperfect education, affec-
tionate nature, feeble strength, and romantic
disposition, and having encountered many
strange experiences (which made her tired and
old before her time," Mrs. Duniway compiled
her crude ideas in the form of a novel, many,
and indeed all the important incidents thereof
being founded upon facts, so grouped as TO form
a connected story. She has been induced to
re-publish the work in these columns, partly
because of a desire to revise and correct the
original work of both herself and the publisher,
and partly because so often urged to do so by
subscribers, that she feels under obligation TO
