MRS. pEwsFORD,s DAUGHTER.

MRS. pEWSFORD'S DAUGHTER.
Mrs. Dewsford sat in her own room.
assiduously employed in fastening dried
butterflies on piece of pasteboard,
with an " Encyclopedias of Etymology ~
lying on the table beside her, and a
magnifying glass affixed in some mys-
terious manner to her nose. She was a
spare, prim, hard-featured matron, was
Mrs. Dewsford-one who believed in
Woman's Rights, and thought woman
generally much abused parsonage,
deposed from her proper sphere and
trampled on by the tyrant Man
Mrs. Dewsford came very near being
man herself-what with deep voice
and bearded chin, and figure quite
innocent of all superhuous curves or
graces. Really, If one had changed
her skirt and body to trowsers and coat,
she would have passed for one of the
condemned sex without mnch diff
Guilty.
But Lizzie Dewsford was quite differ
ent-Lizzie Dewsford, who stood be-
side her mother with cheeks round and
ripe as a peach, deep blue eyes made
mystic and shady by their long lashes,
and brown hair wound round and round
her pretty head in shining coils. You
wondered, as you gazed at her, how
they could both be women, and yet SO
unlike.
Nonsense, childl" :" said Mrs.
Dewsford, critically examining but
terhy with pale, yellow wings, sprin-
killed. with earmine.
"But mamma" pleaded Lizzy, sit
isn't nonsense. He really does want to
marry me"
Sc Marriage is all mistake, Eliza
beth" said Mrs. Dewsford, laying down
her magnifying glass. tI don't mean
you shall marry at all. ;"
Mamma
the trong-minded matron. Sc is woman
enslaved. IF I had known as much
about life when I was eighteen as do
now, I would never have married.
From the standpoint of grand mis-
take committed In my own Life, I can
rectify yours, Elizabeth"
But, mamma ;. cried poor Lizzy,
s. what shall I do?"
ssDo, child dol" calculated the
for ma daughter to ask ! Why, read
study-improve your mind. Devote
all the energies of your nature to the
solving of the great social problems
that surround you"
ssI don't care fig for the social
I1izzy. "I like Charley Everett, and
I'm going TO marry h1m
