Women and Dogs.

One day last winter, just as it was
drawing toward dark, l found myself
near the entrance of famous dry goods
store. Out of it, in all the pomp of silk
and velvet and marvellous lace, lady
came, carrying in her arms a bundle
swathed in softest cashmere. / thought
at first it was baby. l beg all babies
pardon. 1t was dog. There were but
a few steps to her carriage door, but ere
she reached it a woman came hastily
forward and said something to her
which I did not hear. My lady with
drew herself haughtily, and angrily
shut the door after her. The woman
scarcely looked like beggar, and my
curiosity was aroused. | had seen the
imploring look answered by the indig-
nant one; | had heard the rapid, pas
sionate tones answered by the slammed
door, and l was weaving my own by
pOthesis when the woman turned rap
idly round and faced me.
A strange, wild, pttiful loOk-such a
look as women haunted by sorrow and
perplexing griefs wear. Our eyes met,
and mental telegraphy assured her l
had been watching.
"You saw, then ?n she said
"Hes, / saw
"Look here ~ And she uncovered a
three weeks old baby-a baby with the
most unbaby-like face 1 ever saw. 1t
was thin and wrinkled, and looked as if
it had passed through years of anguish

Jesus died for it, and that woman with
the dog in her arms-my God ~ and she
turned from me with a gesture of such
sublime scOrn and despair as would
have brought the house down, if it had
been in a theater, and acting instead OF
reality.
And ever since I have thought of the
two women and the sorrOwful-fa
baby and the pampered dog. And so ]
have come to remember how common a
thing it is to see women, whose blossoms
should be for children to nestle in, and
whose arms are natures arks for help
less infancy, carrying dogs. Women,
whom God intended to nurse angels
and train heroes, carrying dogs Wom-
en-, whom God meant for daughters ot
consolation and sisters of charity, carry.
ing dogs!
We are not called upon to judge These
women higher than they judge them
selves; but we do say that the love anC
cherishing care of a God made woman
are too holy by far to be "given unto
dogs" especially when there are bodie:
and souls for which Christ died perish
ing for lack of them.

OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY FL, 1870.

whom he held in his power. Like the
God of Moses, he had "body, and parts"
and these were fashioned as Big Man.
The God of David and Solomon was
mighty monarch, whose law was abso-
lutte, whose magnificence was une-
qualed, but all bore a strong resemblance
to an earthly court of very resplend-
ent order. The God of the Ephesians
was a woman, voluptuous, beautiful,
seductive, in whose presence her dew
otees might indulge in all manner of
wanton excesses. The God of Mo-
hammed is fashioned somewhat after
the God of David, save that he promises
fleshly lusts for the faithful in the great
Hereafter, of which David left his fol-
lowers, or the followers of his God, in
wholesome doubt.
The God of Jesus, like the God of
Confucius, is an ideal embodiment of
Love, Wisdom, Forgiveness, Blessing,
Charity, and Hope. The God of the So
called Christian is hermaphrOdite be-
tween the God of Moses and the God of
Jesus. He partakes of many of the at
tributes of each, and mingles many of
the peculiarities of both, and the Chris
tian sets up Jesus as His manifestation,
thereby deifying the Son of Man, al
though Jesus rebuked his followers for
the same folly in his physical day, and
said unto them, "Worship God"
The religion of the Mormon is a Won
derful combination of the religions of
all creeds and countries. His God and
Christ are an odd admixture of the God
of Moses, the God of Abraham, the God
of Solomon, the God of Ephesus, the
God of Jesus, and the Christian God.
The fashioning of all these Supreme
Beings comes from within the human
soul; and the higher development the
soul attains, the more perfect and beau
! tiful is its idea of God.
Further consideration of this import
ant question will be continued in a sep
arate article. ANGUS.

written by Madge on the day of the
death of his wife to be posted the first
opportunity-an opportunity which did
not come for months; and now, as the
years rolled on and brought no tidings
of the bereft mother-in-law, all expecta-
tion of ever hearing from her was given
over. Mrs. Morrison had been a mother
to the little flock, and the added burdens
had we'll nigh exhausted her. The mar
riage of Alice gave her world of con-
cern, which was in no way lessened by
its unhappy consequences; and to get
her away from home, out of the groove
in which she had so long been confined,
Madge thought was necessary to prolong
her fading life.

OUR ANGEL KINDRED.

BY WILLIAM LEIGHTON, OF LIVERPOOL, ENG.
Far in the glories of a fadsless day,
Amid excess of beauty, and the swell
OF rich and everlasting melody,
Our angel kindred dwell.
No care can reach them in their radiant home;
No night can trail its terror DER their skies;
No sin can cast around its baleful gloom;
No tear can dim their eyes.
Immortal pleasures crowd the golden hours.
Undreamed-Of beauty basks on every hand;
And odorous breathing from the lips of flowers
Fill all the peaceful land.
And bright forms mingling in the holy mirth,
Pure white-robed dwellers on the blissful
shore,
The happy "gOne before"
Among them cherub shapes of childhood glide;
MaidenS are there with waving locks OF gold;
And manhood in its glory and its pride,
And age no longer old.
And he, the last that left us, whose young life
By laughing, promise-laden breezes dliven-
Dsdained to meet the rude worlds noisy strife
And sought the calm of Heaven
dream I see him in his radiant rest,
Among his angel kindred upon high,
And honOred as BELTS the latest guest
They welcome TO the sky.
Or guide him where'er Heavens rich marvels
rise,
And sisters look unutterable love
Into his answering eyes.
All, blessed spirits in their balmy ease!
No cross of earth can ever chafe Them now!
For them no more the trembling hands and
knees,
Nor doubt-beclouded brow.
Ours is the darkness, theirs the boundless day;
They drink true life; we draw the labored
breath;
! They have eternal sunshine on their way;
| We have the gloom of death.
| Yet, nearing the cold river, rejoice
That when pass its darkness and its roar,
| All these will welcome me with heart and voice
Upon the further shore.

Don't say, 81 told you so ~ Two to
one you never said a word about it.
Don't throw dust in your teachers
eyes. 1t may injure the pupil.
Don't buy a coach to please your wife.
Better make her a little sulky.
Don't publish your acts of charity.
The Lord will keep the account.
Don't mourn over fancied grievances.
Bide your time, and real sorrow will
come.
Don't linger where "your love lies
dreaming" Wake her up, and tell her
to get breakfast.

SMELLING. Doctor Franklin was
once sitting in a coffee-room when there
came in an officer who smelled very
strongly of brandy and beer-two things
which the doctor could not endure
The officer of strong odor sat near the
doctor, who moved to another seat. At
this the officer was a little miffed, and
said :-"What do you move away for ?"
because you smell so,n replied the
doctor. The officer became enraged,
and challenged DR.. Franklin to fight a
duel. mo, no; I can't do that" re-
piled the doctor, 'for if we were to fight,
and you should kill me, in one week 1
should smell as bad as you do now."

stretch of law, will expire next Septem-
Der, but his counsel claim that it should
have ended the 9Th of January. Great
complaint is made of the present un-

overcrowding of inmates. There are
1000 cells, seven feet by six, and half
of those contain two conviets, who

A WOMAN FREEMASON.-The Hur-
perS' Bdzdr says that it is mistake to
suppose that the lady who concealed
herself in a room where lodge was
about to hold, and who, when dis
covered, was allowed to be initiated,
is a myth. The clock case may be a
myth, but the lady is not. She was the
Hon. Mrs. Aldworth, and continued
through life to take an active interest
in the order into which in her youth
she had so strangely gained admission.
She founded the Dublin institution for
the orphan daughters of Masons. Her

From the Weekly Bee.l
A Woman Goes for Judge Deadly and all
the Men.

Editor Bee In the recent trial of
Smith for the mailbag robbery, we find
in Judge Deady's charge to the jury the
following sentence in reference to the
testimony of Mrs. Montgomery: at
has always been suppOsed-but you can
judge for yOurselves-that a woman
without chastity is without virtue, and
cannot be relied upon to tell the truth"
Who ever heard of such a charge being
made to a jury in regard to male wit
nesses? What a chaotic state our
courtroom would present in such
case! How many chaste, virtuous men
we wonder could have been selected
from that body of jurors! Imagine
them, strong in their armOr of virtue,
sitting in judgment upon that poor
wOman's truth because she was not
chaste. We wonder which of the male
witnesses testimony they considered
reliable on account of their virtue! We
remember hearing some of them spoken
of as anything but marvelS of purity.
To assest that a woman is destitute of
truth because she is unchaste is very
unjust. The word of such a woman is
as reliable as an uuchaste mans, and
we might stand appalled, if we were
convinced that only strictly virtuous
men are truthful. But then, of course,
immaculate men are the rule, and not
the exception, if we are to Judge by the
complaints of poor, lonely wives, de-
nouncing Masonic and other lodges,
billiards and clubs, where the feminine
element is invisible. But we strongly
suspect that these organizations are
often represented by one charming
woman, potent to beguile her unfortu-
nate victim into Oblivion of late hours,
home, and waiting wife.

Lacking Pubic Spirit.

1t is humilating to confess that the men
Of property in Rock Island are lacking in
public spirit in regard to an opera house.
The population of our town suffers severe
ly in consequence of this lack of generosi-
ty and enterprise. The best entertain
ments pass US by--or, if one gets caught
here. every good actor utterly refuses to
perform again on a stage where there is no
room for acting and no scenery worth the
name, and in house where nobody can
see or be comfortable. Mr.. Harper has
often offered to 60 more than any other
ten men to secure first class opera house.
He would even build one himself were any
reasonable encouragement offered him by
our people, as to suitable lot, or other
wise. Last night there was a magnificent
audience of 1000 or 500 people in Bur-
tbs Opera House, and very large portion
were from Rock Island and Moline-peo-
pie who prefer to see good performance
on a suitable stage with suitable scenery,
and in comfortable house. Build bet
ter house in Rock Island and all that sort
of thing would be reversed. But if our
business men, our capitalists, and our
property owners take no interest in the
matter who else can be expected to do SO
1t is not creditable to Rock Island to be
so far behind the age.

Maggie Mitchell.

No living American actress has sostrong
hold upon the affections of the people.
to-day, as Maggie Mitchell. Many of the
men and women who haye become promi-
nent upon the stage have popularity
largely of local character. One will be a
favorite in San Francisco, for instance. but
fail to attract in the east after the first
curiosity is satisfied Another may be a
great local favorite in Chicago, or at the
south, and fail utterly when transferred to
the boards Of the principal theatres of the
east, and made to face the critical au
diences of New York and Boston. And
some who please these audiences fnd very
different greetings when they appear in
the west and south. But Maggie Mitchell
seems to please everybody, and at second
appearance anywhere always attracts a
larger audience than on a first visit. She
is fayorite in every city she visits, large
or small; more generally So probably, than
any actress now before the public. When
audiences of three thousands persons are
gathered to witness ''Fanchon," 1.-THE
Pearl :of Savoy" or the Little Barefoot. I"
while hundreds upon hundreds are turned
away from the doors, it is pretty good evil
dence that the public are not tired of wit
Messing these pieces Not for one night
alone but for succession of nights, the
people turn out to witness the perform
ances of Maggie Mitchell None of the
tragedy queens attract night after night
as do the lighter presentations of this viva
cious and charming actress. She thor
oughly pleases the great public, that is
certain. There is no yawning in the audi
ence when Maggie is upon the stage, and
no desire to have the curtain fall; and af-
ter it has fallen, and the audience carry
away the memory of pleasant evening,
they are glad of an early opportunity to
greet the actress again.
Tonight, in Burtis Opera House, will
be the last time, for the present, that our
people will have chance to laugh and cry
over the charming acting of little woman
that every American should be proud Of
little piece of humanity who has, to-day,
more warm friends than any living states
man.
