A Word for the Women.


We do not hesitate to say that the
average woman, educated in the better
class Of schools in this country. is bet
ter scholar, and more capable and ac~
complished person, that the average coll
lege of the other sex. What we want is
cheaper schools of an equal excellence.
The farmers boy goes to college, finds
cheap tuition, wins scholarship perhaps,
boards in commons, earns money during
vacation, and gets through, while his
sister stays at home, because the only
place where she can get an equal educa>
tion are expensive beyond her means.
There is no college that needs to be so
richly endowed as a woman's college
Women are not men, quarrel with the
facts as we may, and they cannot get
along so cheaply with such self-helpful-
ness as men while-going through the pro-
cesses Of their education. If We are to
have women's colleges, we must have
well paid professors. philosophical appa-
ratus, cabinets, collections, art~galleries,
laboratories, and they must be provided
for by private muniicence. Provision
should be made for the poor. so that
high education shall come within reach
OF all. There is not a woman's college.
or an advanced public institution for the
education Of women, that is not to-day in
need of large endowment for the pur-
pose of bringing its advantages within
the reach ofthose whose means are small.
Now we commend this matter par
ticularly to rich women. There are
many scattered up and down the country,
who are wondering what they shall do
with their money when, and even before,
they die. To all these we beg the privi-
lege of commencing this great object.
Let the boys alone. They have been
| pretty well taken care of already, and
the men will look after them. 1t is for
You, as women wishing well TO your own
sex, and anxious for its elevation in all
possible ways, to endow these institutions
that are springing up about the country
in its interest, so that the poor shall have
an equal chance with the rich. You
can greatly help to give the young womer
of all classes as good a chance as theil
brothers enjoy, and you can hardy claim
a great deal as womanly feeling if You dc
not do it.-Dr. j. G. Holland; ScriJne
for October.

HARTFORD OHIO COUNTY, KY. OCTOBER 13 1875.

GUS Boxtel-raising his livid face from
his hands in which it had been buried
'it he has them he can keep them only
as long as he lives, and"
The rest of this detestable thought
merged in a hideous smile.
"The suckers are at the Hague" he
said, therefore | can no longer live at
bort: away, then, for them, to the
Hague! to the Hague!"
And boxtel, without taking any notice
of the treasures about him-so entirely

inestimable treasure-let himself out by
the window, glided down the ladder,
carried it back to the place whence he
had taken it, and like beast of prey,

grab you by the leg?"
"Why, wouldn't let it, of course"
"Well, Jim, | come around TO ask You
favor, rs a friend. Jim, I've just
bought new dog, sorter bull-terrier,
and the man said he'd fly at almost any
body, and hold on until ne was dead.

apples, and Id sick this dog on you, and
then you'd see if that man misrepresented
the facts to me.
Certainly won't"
"Oh, come on, now-just to try him!
You may have all the apples you can
carry off with you"
"Why, you must be crazy"
won't go? Not to oblige a friend?
Not to ascertain the value of what may
be a splendid fighting dog?"
"Of course won't
ooh, very we'll, then, don't; but the

CHAPTER VIII.
THE FAMILY CELL

The incident just related was, as the
reader has guessed before this, the mis-
chievous work of Mynheer Isaac Boxtel.
II will be remembered that, with the
help OF his telescope, not even the least
detail Of the private meeting between Cor
nelius De Witte and Van Blerle hal es
cIped him. lie had, indeed, heard hoth-
ing, but had seen everything, and had
rightly coac,uiel that the papers entrust-
ed by the Warden to the Doctor must
have been of great importance, as he
saw Van Blcrle so carefully secreting the
parcel in the drawer where he used to
keep his most precious balhs.
The upshot OF all this was, that when
BOxtel-who watched the course OF po-
litical events much more attentively than
his neighbor Cornelius was used to do
heard The news Of the brothers De Witte
being arrested on a charge Of high trea-
son against the State, he thonght within
his heart, that very likely he, Bpxtel.
needed only to say one word, and the
godsoG would be arrested as well as the
godfather.
Yet, full of hatred as was Boxtel's
heart, he at first shrank with horror from
the idea of informing against a man
whom the information might lead TO the
scafiold.
But there is this terrible in evil
thoughts, that evil minds soon grow ia
miliar with them.
Besides this, Mynheer Isaac Boxtel en-.
couraged himself with the following
soPhism:-
Cornelius De Wiite is a bad citizen
as he is charsel with high treason. and
arrested.
Il, on the contrary, am goDl citizen
as am not charged with anything ia the
world, as | am as free as the air of hcav
en-.
"IC therefore, Cornelius De Witte is a
bad citizen-of which there can be nc
doubt. as he is charged with high trea-
son and arrest-his accomplice, Corr
nelius Van Baerle, is no less bad citi,
zen than himself
"And an a good citizen, and as it il
the duty Of every good citizen to inform
against the bad ones, it is my duty to in
form against Cornelius Van Baerle."
Specious as this mode OF reasoning
might sound, itwouid not, perhaps, hav,
taken so complete hold of Boxtel, no
would he, perhaps, have yielded to tn
mere desire Of vengeance which wa,
gnawing at his heart, had not the demol
of envy being Joined by that of cupidity
Boxtel was quite aware Of the progres
which Van Baerle had made toward
producing the grand black tulip.
Doctor Cornelius, notwithstanding al
his modesty, had not been able to hid
from his most intimate friends that h
was all but certain TO win. in the year {
grace 1913, the prize of hundred thou
sand guilders offered by the Horticultu
raj Society of ITaa.lem.
Just this certainty of Cornelius Va
Baerle caused the fever which ragged
the heart Of Isaac Boxtel
IfCornelius should be arrested, thel
would neeessarially be great upset
his house, and, during the night after b
arrest. no one would think of kcepin
a watch over the tulips in his garden
Now, in that night, Boxtel wou|I elm
over the wall, and, as he knew the i,la,
Of the bulb that was to produce the graz
black tulip, he would ilch it; and i

BE3-EI1E..

The old clock on the m1ntel,
Has chimcd the hour Of eight;
Papa has issued orders,
The children must not wait.
Mamms, in spite of protest,
Enforces the command:
She captures both the rebels,
Holds one in either hand.
These tyrants Of the household,
That rule with dreadful power,
Their sceptre yield at bedtime;
The clock has chimed the hour.
She leads them through the parl'r,
And gently up the stairs,
The mystery of undressing
Is followed now By prayers.
When all the rites are over,
The last good night is said,
Mamma pulls up the cover
And tucks the boys in bel.
Then comes an hour Of quiet
unknown throughout the day;
The leaders Of the riot
Are snugly packed away.
The racket and the hubbnb
Will soon break out again
Stop till the beams of daylight
Wake up these little men.
The elders of the household
Have now a chance Of peacej
The restless feet are quiet.
The prattling voices cease.
