The :. Quiet Ci,izens" al Prayer

One of the quiet citizens " who as.
sisted in the lynching of the negro Wood
son at Murfreesboro writes the Murfrees-
boro News an account of the crime. He
says; After arriving at the place of
execution we were told that it was a
solemn and serious duty we were about
to discharge, so much so that it was
thought advisable that we should implore
the mercy, blessing and counsel of God
to attend us; consequently the entire
company kneeled, and prayer was Of
tered in behalf of the murderer, and
that our deliberations and acts might be
controlled by an all wise God. After
prayer Jesse Woodson was told that we
would be more merclful to him than he
had been to Mrs. Jarrett; that he would
be allowed a short time to pray and
make such statements as he wished. He
commenced by avowing his innocence.
He was told that nothing he could say
would change his doom or lengthen his
life, and that he had better be engaged
in prayer, aud it would be useless to pray
with lie on his tongue. He then con-
fessed the crime, and said he thought
there was a thousand dollars in the
pocket-book. He described the place
wher" the money was deposited, and
said II we would go with him be would
get it. This confession was made with
out threat, promise or torture. He
implicated no one but himself. After
allowing him short time to pray he was
placed on a horse, the rope adjusted
about his neck and fastened to limb,
and the horse led from under him, leav
ing him suspended in the air. At the
same time eighteen or twenty shots we're

victor Hugo on womnn's Rights.

Victor Hugo ON WOman's Rights.
The society for improving the condi-
ton of women recently wrote to Victor
Hugo, appealing to him in the name of
right TO assist their efforts. His reply is
full of the characteristics of the man:
In our society, such as it has been made,
woman suffers. She is right to claim
better fate. | myself am only a CON
science, but | understand your rights,
and to obtain them is one of the duties
of my life. You are, therefore, not
wrong to rely on my good will and as
sistance. Man was the problem OF the
eighteenth century; woman is the prob.
lem OF the nineteenth. And who says
woman, says child-that is, the future.
The question thus put appears in all its
profundity, and on its solution depends
the fate of the supreme social battle.
What strange and anomalous situation
In reality man depends on you, for wo-
man holds the heart Of man. Before the
law she is the minor, incapable, without
civil action, without political rights-in
short, she is nothing; before the family
altar she is everything because she is
the mother
The domestic hearth is what she makes
it; at home she is the mistress of good
and III Sovereignty complicated by op-
preston; woman can do all against man,
but nothing for herself 1t is imprudent
of the law to make her so weak when she
is so strong Let us recognize that
weakness aud protect it; let us recognize
that strength and counsel it, There lies
the duty of man, and there is also his
interest No, | shall never cease to say
it; the problem is laid down, and it must
be solved. She who bears half the bur
den ought to have half the right. Half
of the human race is deprived of eqality;
it must be given to them. This will be
one of the grand glories OF our grand
century. Let the right of woman coun-
terbalance the right of man-that is to
say, let the laws be placed in conformity
with the morals and manners of the
country.

A Singular Influence.

/ THE particulars of an interesting oc-
currence at the corset factory Of Mr.. i,
Strouse, on Oak street, Tuesday, will be
of interest to students Of those occult
matters in the mental and physical con-
ditions of human beings which for ages
have puzzled the physicians and philos-
ophers of the world. The facts, in brief,
are as follows: In the factory of Mr..
Strouse large number of young la9les,
some of considerable intelligence, are
employed in the various branches OF
work usually performed in every factory
of the kind in the, country At about
eleven O'Clock in the forenoon OF Tues
day, a small knot Of the girls stood chat
ting together on different TOPICS. based
upon current events as reported in the
newspapers, and by natural progression
in the talk they came to speak Of sudden
deaths, and of the recitals Of cases
where persons had been cut off from life
without previous warning of the near
ness Of their dying day. There was all
at once felt among the girls the shadow
of solemnity as-ofsthe sweep of a pail
through the room, and the conversation,
which had been quite lively, was in a
moment hushed as though a spell of ST.
lence had been laid on every tongue.
One particularly spirited and pretty
girl-Miss being perhaps disin-
clined to acknowledge The rather un-
usual and fearsome sense of something
awful which had come among them, in
an effort at playfulness placed on the
bench near one of the young girls a COM
mon land-turtle which had been picked
up somewhere. The girl on whose bench
it was laid turned and saw ii, gave a
Shrek which sounded elf1shin intensity,
and Immediately fell to the floor ia a
faint as though she had been dead. 1hls
apparently led to touch of horror IN
the minds of the other girls, some OF
whom grew white.in consequence, with
/ a. set expression on their faces, and Tor
an instant not word or cry was uttered-
Soon the same kind of thing happened to
another of the girls. She fell to the
floor IN what looked like a dead faint, or
the trance of person exhausted by pro-
longed mental excitement, leading to ex-
naustion. Shortly another girl was
seized with the same kind OF an attack,
and she, toe, yielded to the influence
and was numbered with those who had
already given way One after another
of the girls tainted and fell, until no less
than seven of the young ladies had Leen
brought low. The affair was SO un-
expected that CONSERVATION or at least
] deep interest was shown by the Workmen

then you shall see that God never makes
a promise He does not keep, and that
holy, unfulfilled longing which makes
your heart ache SO intolerably isGod's
promise to you that you will be satisfied
when you wake in Hislikeness. sflT r.
~ We cannot hide that some have striven,
Achieving calm, to whom was given ~
A joy that mixes man with heaven; -
Who, rowing hard against the stream,
Saw distant gates of Eden gleam,
And did not dream it was dream.
There are those always and everywhere
who, withSa sure faith in God, in that
fatherhood Christ opened to ussso per-
fectly, find their faith forever blooming
into hope that is not seen, and because
they hope for that they see not they
with patience wait for it. ~
!. And so it is, dear friends, that, as your
minister, commend to you this glorious
gift of God-whatever comes as in itself
a solid blessing and power to help you
to win all blessing. Make sure that you
are true to the laws out of which true
hope must spring;s that it rests in God as
that of the husbandman rests in the land
and the seasons, and then that you are

but with large and generous purpose,
and then there will be in you a secret
spring of gladness nothing can destroy.
There viii not be day when you will
not be aware that this holy spirit is lift
ing you out of mere realities, as we call
them, into this sunny heaven, day when
there will not be bloom and fragrance
Of the heart born of hope that can never
die, so strange, SO sure, and so full that
only after THESE blessed words of the
deepest and divinest inspiration that
gem our Scriptures with light and glory
can the full worth of this treasure be
told by our poet as he sings
Eternal hope, ere fonder spheres sublime
Pealed their first notes to tune the march of
time,
Thy joyous youth began, and shall not fade
When all the sister planets have decayed;
When wrapped in flame the realms of ether
glow,
And Heavens last thunder shakes the world
below,
Thou, undismayed, shall o'er the ruins smile,
And light thy torch at Natures funeral pile.

IN chamber old and oaken, Ef
In faint and faltering way,
Half dozen words were spoken,
Just eleven years today
What was bound and what was broken,
Let a Woman's conscience say.
Half dozen words excited,
whispered by a lovers side;
Half delighted, half affrighted,
Half in pleasure, half in pride,
And a mafden's troth is plighted,
And false love-knot is tied.
Has maiden not feeling VI
That can swell, and sing, and soar?
g Came not DER her spirit stealing
Thoughts of things that were before?
In her heart did no revealing
Tell her love was something more?
Barely half dozen glances,
Half in earnest, half in mirth--
Five, or six, or seven dances
What is such a wooing worth?
Courtship in which no romance is
w Cannot give a true love birth.
4 Passion is pain and power,
Slowly growing unto might
Bvlong vigils, not the hour;
Real love is not at sight;
'Tis weed; tits not a flower
That arises in night.
Lightly is the promise spoken,
y Lightly is the love knot tied;
And the maid redeems the token,
Living at her husbands side;
And her heart-.it is not broken,
But it is not in it's pride.
With the years shall come feeling,
Never maybe, felt before;
She shall find her heart concealing
Wants it did not know of yore;
Silently the truth revealing,
Real love is something more.
