A Cay UNTo WoNANKIND- There are plen-
ty to say and to hear the saying, The world
is Gods, not theirs; let Him work out
change if change must be-" Take thine ease
under thy own vine or fig tree; let the world
rush on its way to sorrow, 10 sin, to shame.
What should such fragile form as thine do
to stop or stay it? Let truth fall in the streets,
let virtue wander homeless till its feet take
hold OF the steps that lead down to destruc-
ton; what should such delicate hand as
thine do 10 arrest or save II? Soil 1t by no
such contact. Let gilded hells be opened on
all sides to lure thy sons and thy neighbors
sons to gamble away their earnings, the sup
port Of a home; to draw them to arms that
will embrace only to poison. sending them
back to innocent and unconscious arms that
will be poisoned in turn; to put to the mouths
of the weak in will, the strong in appetite,
that that will destroy body and brain, rea-
son and conscience, home and happiness,
heart and soul, together. What shouldst
thou know Of such matters? To know Is to
be contaminated; keep Thy Ignorance, and
thy womanly charm together. Let govern
ment go to rack, let commerce and society
conspire to accomplish evil let lives be blasted
and hearts be broken, and souls be damned.
What are these to thee? Thy sole duty is as

fine harmonies. And yet. sir, and yet,
madam, God created this woman, not Il
flower, not flute, but a living soul; as such
to receive help, and to yield help to all other
living souls; to it intrusted seed to sow, tai
ents to multiply, work to be done. o, my
sistersl the world is groaning and travail
ing in pain until this day, crying out of the
darkness wherein it gropes, out Of the an
guish in which it writhes, for your hands
and help and care. Where, then, are Your
woman's hearts and your woman's con-
science that you are silent and still 60 you
to the asylums and the hospitals, and make
of them homes Go to the jails. the prisons,
the penitentiaries and make them IT iorma-
tories and regenerators. Go to the igno-
rant, the rude. tie stupid and see that the
light of intelligence is let into their night
of mental bondage. Go to the doors through
which men go in men ard come out wild
beasts-the doors that return, for the mon
ey there left, poverty, fighting, dismantled
homes, brawls, murders; that absorb man
and money, and in exchange crowd aim
houses and jails and ripen fruit for that
ghastly tree Of civilization-the gallows.
Standing there, in behalf Of men, Of women
of children of society alike outraged. defied +,
dishonored, destroyed, say: "ln the name
of the law. and with the power of the Law, p,

TOUGH CANADIAN AND TOUGHER
SToRY.-AbOut forty yoars ago, young
man named Wilson, residing near the town
of Perth, conceived the lunatic idea OF lead
ing a hermit's life. the youth had from
his early age showed symptoms OF derange-
ment, and this proceeding on his part was
not considered strange by his friends. The
chosen place of his hermitage was three
quarters of mile from his parental home
stead, in the recess of a dense brush, where
he erected small hoyel and furnished it
with an old log canoe. which he used as
couch to sleep in Diyesting himself OF all
clothing. he has ever since remained per-
fectly nude, with the exception OF a latter
ed remnant of shirt which his fancy leads
him to retain. In this nude state for forty
years he has lived, walking in the depth OF
Winter through the snow, and yet he has
never been known to have received frost
bite When he requires drink he walks
deliberately into the river, it 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
auenches his thirst. His food is brought
to him by his friends, and when given on
him is eaten with the yoraciousness of an
animal. which he now resembles more that
man, his body being as heavily coated with
hair as that of q COW. He never shows a
dangerous disposition, and chatters in mo-
nosyllables When people cross his path
he invariably begs for tobacco, for which he
has an evident Partially, and in chattering
tones will utter "bacca" until his request
is granted. His hair is long. gray, and
unkempt. falling far over his shoulders,
and his beard, which is similar, reaches
down below bis waist. He is now between
60 and 70 years of age, and he is possibly
the only living being ever known to have
lived year after year perfectly naked. and
exposed to all the inclemencies of weather
which mark our Canadian Winters.-Er.
