A MAD ACTRESS.

Gray wrote his we'll known ballad on
Mrs. Montfort, a celebrated actress, contem-
porary with Cibber. After her retirement
from the stage, love, and the ingratitude of
a bosom friend, deprived her of her senses,
and she was placed in a receptacle for luna
ties. One day, during a lucid interval, she
asked her attendant what play was to be
performed that evening, and was told that
it was Hamlet" In this tragedy, while
on the stage, she had ever been received
with rapture as Ophelia. The recollection
struck her, and, with that cunning which is
so often. allied to insanity, she eluded the
care OF her keepers and got to the theatre,
where she concealed herself until the scene
in which Ophelia enters in her insane state /;
She then p%ushed:on the stage before thelady
who had performed the previous part of the
character could come on, and exhibited a
more perfect representation Of madness than
the utmost exertions of the mimic art could
effect. There was in truth Ophelia herself,
to the amazement of the performers and the
establishment of the audience. Nature hav-
ing made this last effort, her vital powers
failed her. On going off she exclaimed q It
is all over" She was Immediately conveyed
back to her late place Of security. and a few
days after,

THE New York custom-house storekeep-
ers have received orders to sell by auction
the famous laces that were made for the
Empress Eugene. After the fall of the
French empire, the owner brought them to
New York city in search Of purchase, and
the government confiscated them as snug
gled goods. The laces are worth $4,000.
One of the pieces is a dress for which the
late A. T. Stewart offered $4,000.
The following is mentioned by a lady as
chief among their cares: Watch and wait
day after day over the dear little ones of
of our household flock as they grow in
strength and activity, watch the little feet,
that they walk in right paths; watch the
little tongue, that no wrong words escape
those sweet, pure lips watch the mind,
so tender and susceptible to good or evil.
Wait for many years for the good results
of all our watching. Let us watch cautious
~ and patiently, tor the reward is sure.

REVISION OF THE BIBLE.

This important work commenced under
auspices of the c~onyocation OF Canterbury
OF the Church Of England in 1870, in which
scholars Of various denominations are associ-
ated both in England and America, is said to
be considerably advanced. The work of
the American scholars is said to be very sat
isfactory to their English brethren, nearly
all their suggestions having been adopted.
The entire work is considered in a reverent
and conservative splr1U, only rnose oranges
being decided upon which are deemed alb
solutely necessary, and which gave a clearer
and more accurate equivalent in English of
the original Hebrew and Greek. Of the
two committees the English is more con-
servative in clinging to old words and
usages; while the American is more rad
ical, or at least, more in sympathy with
the changes in words and idioms about to
be made in the near future. OF the Old Tes-
lament the Pentatuech and one hundred of
the Psalms, and of the New Testament the
Gospels, the Acts, the Epistles to the Ro-
mans and the Pastoral Epistles have been fin
ished.

incumbent ON the emancipated to throw off

place them-those women who, in Paris and
elsewhere, study anatomy and pathology
side by side with young men, and who hold
the tactthat they feel neither shame nor re-
pugnance, a proof of their superiority to

HOME.
BY JAMES

There is a land of every land the pride,
Beloved by heaven DER all the world beside:
Where brighter suns dispense serener light,
ind milder moons emparadise the nights;
A land of beauty, virtue, valor, truth,
Time-tutored age and love-exalted youth.
The wandering mariner, whose eye explores
The wealthiest isles, the most enchanting shores.
Views not a realm SO bountiful fair,
Nor breathes the spirit of a purer air;
In every cline the magnet of his soul,
Touched by remembrance, trembles to that mole.
For in this land of heavens peculiar grace,
The heritage of natures noblest race,
There is Il spot of earth supremacy blest,
y dearer, sWeeter spot than all the rest,
Where man, creations tyrant, casts aside
His sword and scepter, pageantry and pride,
While i'll his sottened looks b~enignly blend
The sire, the son, the husband, brother, friend.
Here woman reigns, the mother, daughter, wife,
Strcw, with fresh flowers, the narrow way oflife!
In the clear heaven of her delightful eye
An angel guard of loves and graces lie;
Around her knees domestic duties meet,
And freside pleasures gambol at her feet.
Where shall that land, that spot ofearth be found?
Art thou q man "a patriot ?-look around;
Oh! thoa shalt find, howe'er thy footsteps roam,
That land thy country, and that spot thy home!

WOMAN's PLACE IN NATURE,

WOMAN'S PLACE IN NATURE.
Mans place-in nature seems to be pretty
clearly defined. In spite of the fact that
he is descended from a hairy q%uadruped,
furnished with a tail and pointed ears, prob
ably arboreal in it's habits,'' and that he
''still bears in his bodily frame the indellible
stamp ofhis lowly origin" he is the best
thing that we know; and when we formu-
late a God we are obliged to make him a
man. 1t is the Father, the Saviour, to whom
we pray, not to abstract force-Which, how
ever, is the sign of the power by which we
live; it is man whom we worship in his ideal
man whom we credit with possibilities of god
head, and the attainment of absolute perfec-
ton, great gravitation, electricity, nor yet
the ~protoplastic cell. This, then, is his place
in spite of his descent-the highest express
sion of embodied intelligence known to us
in his perfection according to his idea. a
God. And woman? Up to this time civil
lied society has been tor the mostpart found
ed on the principles that the greater in
clades the less, that two halves make one
whole, and that man has meant also woman.
Sex has been looked on as complement, not
antagonism; and the laws regulating the di-
vision of labor and the appointment of du-
ties have rested on the recognition OF differ
ences, and the belief that by those differ
ences and their free exercises we come to
harmony. Man has been man and wo-
man, and hybrids have not been encour-
aged. But we have changed all that now.
Tired Of the undressing division made by
nature and society into well-defined men
and women, a third sex is rising into social
being; and we have to find a name and
place for those odd man-Women, those crea-
lures of intermediate class, who are planting
their feet in the middle distance between the
two extremes, calling loudly on men and gods
to witness their daring-and their transfer
NATION. &
Retaining nothing of the one sex but its
form, gaining nothing of the other but it's
rough-hewn license and abandonment of in
convenient delicacy, these men-wome are
the anolagues of those queen compounds
which make the despair of scientific class
iiiers. How can we call them women when
they have rejected as the signs of their
shame every mental and moral attribute by
which women have hitherto been known,
and for which they have been loved? But
how are they men when they have nothing
of the bodily strength, the mental power,
the logical faculty by which these govern
and make themselves respected? What can
we say to Women who voluntarily fling
themselves into circumstances when they
know that they will lose their tenderness,
their modesty their unselfishness, their devo-
ton? Who voluntarily rem ounce all the
sweetnesses of w~omanhood, persistently
deride its characteristic virtues, and spurn
lis appointed duties? Who see in life only
an arena where victory is to the strongest
and where " each for himself y is a cry that
makes a louder echo than those old-fashon-
ed v~ersicles about doing unto others as we
Mould they should do unto us, and in honor

Mild Winters,

AS the present mild and unusual wealth
er, for this time of year, is the universal
topic of conversation, comparison, with
the mild winters Of "long gone by" may not
be uninteresting In HIP the tempera-
ture was so high that leaves came out on
the trees in January, and birds hatched
their broods in February. In 1899 the
weather was equally mild, and the maidens
of Cologne wore wreaths of violets and corn
flowers at Christmas and on Twelfth day
In l421 the trees fowered in the month of
March, and the vines in the month of
April. Charles ripened in the same month,
and grapes appeared in May. In 1872 the
trees were covered with leaves in January,
and the birds hatched their young ones in
February, as in l172 ; in 1886 the same thing
was repeated, and it is added that the corn
was in the ear at Easter. There was..i
France neither snow or frost throughout
the winters of 1888, 1907, 1909, 1917 and
1863; finally, in 1862, even in the north
of Germany, the stoves were not lighted
and trees fowered in February. Coming
to latter dates, the winter of 1S46-47, when
it thundercd at Paris on the 18th of Jan
uary, and that of 1866, the year of the
great inundation of the Seine, may be men
toned as exceptionally mild.
