a MISSIONARIES FATE.
Among.a sayage.clan
OF cannibalish people;
"A missionary man
Set up luis modest steeple.
Ard there each day he would
Pursue his noble Iabors;
He told them to be good.
And babe them love their neighbors.
The canniBals, with grins,
Gave ear to themes he treated;
They crossed their tawny shins,
And on their hams were seated.
And yet they were not lost.
That Missionary labors;
he taught them to his cost
The way to love their neighbors.
For one day whom for prayers
Those cannibals they met him.
They caught him unawares-
They killed him and they ate him.
They said they found him good
He'd practiced what he taught them
And now they understood
The goodness he had brought them.
And when they filled each nav.
They said while they deplored him,
They loved him alive and raw,
But roasted they adored him.

Injustice.

Injustice is very hard 10 bear. -
Yet we must all learn to expect it
and TO suffer it as calmly as we can.
To have our best deeds turned and
twisted into evil ones; to have our
acts and words utterly misrepre-
sented; to have those turn cold to
US for whom we have always felt
the warmest friendships only the
fate Of humanity. Not ali the
the truth and tenderness heaven
gives can save us from injustice.
Nay, since enemies are often made
by acts of kindness, and people
generally dislike those who do
them favors, one will find that
where most justice is to be expect
ed there is the greatest lack Of it.
There may be two meanings to
many things that are said, and
the sneer "tnat was sarcasm" will
turn a friendly speech into a ven
emous enc. He did this for osten-
tation,' or just to make people
talk af him. she wants people to
think her an angel, and so goes
about pretending to smile;' all
these reproaches are to be expected
by the most unaffected and simple
hearted. And 30, yes she's very
polite, but she secretly hates me-
one of the nice little venemous
peeches that throw friendship
lack into ones face.

The Feminine SaIufatiOn.

The Louisville Courier-J ournal
says: What the average man has
to endure in the way of senseless
and indiscriminate introductions
that are of no benefit to himself or
the other man is dreadful enough,
but it is nothing to what the poor
prosecuted women have to put up
with from one to another. When
man meets man, if there is third
man along, an intrduction follows.
When woman meets woman and
the two happen to know each 9TH
er, there is OSCILLATION. and this os-
culation is generally about as I'M
necessary and un-called for intro
duction. If the two women hap
pen to hate each other the smack
is louder and the accompanying
hypocrisy much more demonstra-
tive then when the opposite feel
ing predominates. Each is dis
gusted and each despises the other
just little more, If that is posi-
BILE. Sometimes women meet who

trIfle of hypocrisy in the kiss that
follows, and they feel that they
might Just as we'll be omitted in
the future, if some independent
feminine spirits would only strike
out and begin the reform. There
is no reason to suppose that the
kisses of women tor women are
any more agreeable that the kisses
of men for men; yet where is the
American who would hesitate be-
tween a bloody homicide and
kiss from one of his own sex ? The
honest woman who one day COM
pleteIy lost control of her temper
and blurted out: "Mrs. Smacker,
| had as lief you would spit in my
face as to kiss me-there now !"
was only giving vent to an ndig-
nation built up byyears ofpersecu-
ton, and many of her sisters Sc
cretly approved of the explosion

The Last w Ords of a Suicide.

1t has already been announced
that a young woman threw herself
under the train at Lebanon. Pa,
about ten days since, by which her
head was instantly severed from
the body. She arrived on the train
the previous evening. accompan-
led by stylish-looking young
man, who was heard to remark to
her: mo, pet, am going TO the
Fair first, you go to the hotel and
wait until / come" The woman
was afterwards seen on the street,
appearing deeply downcast. An
unsigned letter was found on the
street the day of the suicide, be-
lieved to have been written by the
woman, which reads as follows:
"My own dear one--I have con-
Guided TO live no longer, for l
know that L have been cruelty be-
trayed. God knows l have never
deserved this. / hope to meet you
in heaven, if God pities my tr0ub-
led soul and takes me home to
Him. Try and lead a better life.
Think of my heart sorrows as
spend my last moments here on
earth among strangers in strange
land. The motley you gave me |
have given TO the hotel man, and
which they will in all probability
use to bury me. / will die forgiv-
ing and thinking Only of you
Goodbye until we meet again in
the world to come"
The remains of the suicide were
not identified.
