Woman.

Place her among flowers, foster her
as tender plant and she is a thing of
fancy, waywardness, and sometimes
tolly-aunOyed by dew drop, fretted
by the touch of a butterfy's wing and
ready to faint at the rustic of beetle;
the zephyrs are too rough, the showers
too heavy, aud she is overpowered by
the perfume Of q rosebud. But let
real calamity rouse her affections. en-
kindle the fires of her heart, mark her
then-hOw her heart strengthens itself
how strong in her purpose. Place
her in The heat of battle-give her a
child, a bird-anything she pities-to
protect, and see her, as a relative in
stance, raising her white arms as
shields, as her own blood crimsons her
upturred forehead, praying for life to
pro ct the helpless.
Transplant her in the dark place of
earth-awaken her energies to action.
and her breath becomes healing
her presence a blessing-she DISPUTES
inch by inch, the stride of the stalk
lug pes'llence, when men the strong
and brave, shrink away pale and af-
trlghted. Misfortune haunts her not:
she wears away a life of silent endu-
rance, and goes forward with less tim
idity than TO her bridal. In prosperi-
ty, she is a bud of odors waiting for
the winds of adversely to scatter them
abrOad-pure gold, valuable. but I'M
tried in the furnace. In short, woman
is miracle mystery-the center
from which radiates the great charm
Of existence.

Naked For Forty Years.

Incredible as the following may ap-
pear. II Is an authentic fact, in which
hundreds can bear testimony
About forty years ago a young man
named Wilson, residing near the town
of Perth, conceived the lunatic idea of
leading a hermit's life. The youth
had from his early age shown symp-
toms of arrangement, and this pro-
cceding on his part was not considered
strange by his friends. The chosen
Place of his hermitage was about three
quarters of mile from his parental
homestead, in the recess of a dense
bush. where he erected a small hovel,
and furnished it with an old log canoe.
which he used as couch to sleep in.
ljiyesting himself of all his clothing
he has ever since remained nnde, with
the exception of tattered remnant of
shirt, which his fancy leads him to
retain. In tbs nude state, for forty
years, he has lived, walking through
the snow in the depth of winter, and
Yet he has never been known to have
received a frost bite. When he re-
quires a drink he walks deliberately
into the river, 1t mattering not to him
what season of the year it may be, and
wades out till the water reaches his
waist, and then he stoops and quench
es his thirst. His food is brought to
him by his friends, and when given
to him is eaten with the righteousness
of an animal. which he now resembles
more than man, his body being as heav-
lily coated with hair as that of COW.
He never shows a dangerous DISPOSE
ton, and chatters in monosylables
When people cross his path he inva-
riably begs tobacco. for which he has
an evident Partially, and in ehattering
tones will utter "bacca" until his re-
quest is answered. His hair is long.
gray, and unkempt, falling over his
shoulders, and his beard, which is
similar, reaches down below his waist.
he is now between 60 and 40 years
ofage, and possibly the only living be-
ing ever known tC have lived year at
