AustIia is to occupy Herzegovina, Bukowipa

The Wife as a Traveller.

Let us have no cant, one way or the
other. Home is the pleasantest place in
the world, and that is not home where
the wife is not. Women are rarely good
travellers, and wives are perhaps the
worst travellers in the world. Our
friend Punch, who is no cynic, and
strictly family man, once made a per-
son ask his friend: Are you going to
travel for pleasure or are you going to
travel with your wife ?" 1t sounds very
dreadful when the laugh has died away;
but there is a kernel of truth in the half
unpleasant satire. If you you, a
strong, hearty man, with no aches, pains,
or nerves-fnd travelling sometimes so
fatiguing, such a WEAKNESS, such a pain
of a pleasure, what think you IS felt by
the much more highly strung creature
who travels to please you and in order
not to be separated from your side over
long? Where you feel badly she staTves;
where you grumble she silently endures,
till perhaps she can endure no longer.
Does her fatigue increase your enjoy
ment? Does it not spoil it altogether
Are YOU not vexed beyond utterance
when YOU can not get her the much de
sired cup of tea, when the the train is
full and she can not lie down, when at
the end of a long journey that is the best
bedroom to be had? Then there are places
which can not be visited save on foot or
on horseback; and while she can not
walk, how, in the name of all that's rea-
sOnable, can she be expected TO ride a
mule on that saddle for hours upon hours
over the Tete NOire or the Col de Balme
She lies, and succUmbs. You don't let
her, and she feels she has marred your
pleasure. And both Of you inwardly
confess, as night closes in, that Nine. De
Stael was right when, in " Corinne, she
describes travelling to be, an des Plus
tTistee pldsirs de Ia re" Then leave your
wife at home. Many men do; many
men must. The matter Of cost settles
the question very frequently. What's
meat for one may be meat for two !;
but what are travelling expenses for one
are not and can not be made travelling ex-
penses for a second likewise, more especial
" whom the second wants several things
with which the first can dispense. But
Is it pleasant to any man to leave his
wife at home, even though she be the
one to urge him to 90 on a little tour,
thinking that he requires It? If he be
anything of a fellow, he feels as though
he were acting selfshly, even though he
may not be, and, in any case, he misses
his usual and best companion, and must
often feel desperately lonely without
her. Think of those dull evenings

NOW. Girls. or NeEerI

There is one aspect of this Centennial
year 1876, which deserves more atteu-
tion than has yet been bestowed upon it.
1t is Of grave importance in connection
with the institution Of marriage and
with the rights of women. There may
be people, perhaps, who viii say that II
was only by q mere accident that the
Declaration Of American Independence
was made in a leap year. These ssme
people viii tell you that it was only by
accident that Maximilian RobespierTe
splashed his silk stockings On the mem
orable occasion which, as a great his
torian has so cOnvincingly shown, led
him on and up to the giddy heights Of
power and of crime. 1t was Only by &C
cident, too, we suppose, that Cromwell
and his comrades were turned aside
from their purpose Of embarking for the
new world. Why did not the congress
of the colonies act in ITS or postpone
action till 17777 There can be no doubt
in the mind of any thoughtful student
Of history, that the true answer 20 these
questions is to be found in the fact that
the wear 1776 was not only q bisseXtile
year, but of all bissextile years the most
quardrennial year imaginable, since l776,
being divided by four, gives US as Its
result 444, or as many tours as can only
be conveniently crowded into the num-
Der of any year, which is at all likely TO
interest US Or-ouTss descendants to the re-
hottest generation. It was, in short, a
four-leayed Glover Of a year, and as
everybody knows who knows anything,
and everybody believes ~7hc believes
ANYTHING, your four-leayed clover Is the
highest symbol of feminine good luck.
This, of course, prefigured for the United
States of America an influence OF the
most unezampled sort upon the united
state of matrimony. 1t was plainly
written in the book Of fate from the be
ginning that the old and conventional
relation of the sexes should be reversed
In the Republic Of l776; and the young
women Of America will be false 10 their
duty and TO the high destiny Of their
country If they fail to celebrate this, the
first centennial leap year Of our history,
by formally doing away with the euete
customs of g past barbaTism and inau-
gurating the new era, (which has thus lar
been only fee0ly preached and prophe-
sled by such voices crying IN the wilder
nos rs those Of Miss. Susan B. Anthony,
Mrs. Cady Stanton, and Mrs. Lucy
blackwell Stone. Let every unmarried
Girl in America who respects herself
and the republic, take solemn oath,
say on a pair Of scissors or an old shoe,
or anything else which may be regarded
as really binding by the female mind,
not only to refuse the shand Of any man
who offers himself 10 her IN marriages
but also to shoot on the spot any man
who may refuse her hand when osiered
90 him by her, after mature consultation
with his parents and guardians
