ed public that Dom Pedro islands six

Az Dom Pedro walked about the

tracted by the shapely figure of that
handsome female Sioux, Sitting Bulls

Meyers cigar store. Moritz stepped
out, introduced himself to The Elm
peror, and invited His Majesty to step
inside and smoke II genuine Havana,
of which Meyer received IL large stock
a few days ago. Dom Pedro accented
the Invitation, and after smoking the
fragrant weed remarked that it was
the finest he had smoked since leav.
ing his native land. He promised to
give Moritz Il call OF his return from
California, and requested Meyer to
ave a box of the same cigars for him.

and we advise everybody To buy their
cigars of lin, MS he sells II better

SELECTED MATTER.
Quaker Women.

The position of women is undoubtedly
higher among the Friends than in any
other society. From George Fox's time
an equal place has been assigned them in
the family of God, as in human society
Their divine commission, $50 tell my
brethren that ascend to my Father and
their Father, to my God and their God"
has been recognized and narrowed down
by no human limitation. Without COM
hitting ourselves to the bold rationalizing
exegies of the Quakeress, who, when hard
pressed by certain Pauline texts relative
to women keeping silence in church, re-
piled: "Thee knows Paul was not partial
to females" we may say that the Friends
alone have proved themselves free from
the old tendency to stick to the letter of
Scripture and sin against its divine pro-
gressive spirit, binding women, after nine
teen centuries of freedom, with precisely
the old worn out bandages and restrictions
which were necessary to preserve social
order when first Christianity enfranchised
women, and proclaimed the equality of the
sexes. And perhaps that laborious Socie-
ty for the Protection of Providence which
exists in our midst might study the result
with advantage, and might even learn in
time that, as we do not make laws to pre-
vent weak-armed men from being black
smiths, to quote from John Stuart Mill,
so we need not in the long run make re-
strictions to keep women from spheres for
which Providence has untitled them. Ma
ture being abundantly strong enough to
preserve the order of the sexes without the
help of our crutches. Free to exercise
any exceptional gift in public, and taking
their regular share in the business of the
Church, the Quaker women are profound
ly domestic, though with certain large
ness of mind and absence of feminine lit
tleness which doubtless springs from wider
training.-Macmillam'm Magazine.

A PRAcTIcAL LOVE LETTER.-The Dan
bury Ne,os says: This is what may be
called sample or practical affection. -
True love is not content to bask in the
sunshine without an umbrella handy in
case of rain. The following letter is a
sample in question:
My Dear Husband got here, last
night, all safe, and was met at the station
by uncle and aunt. They were so glad l
had come, but were sorry that you were
not along. Imiss youso much. We had
hot rolls for breakfast, this morning, and
they were so delicious. 1 want you to be
so happy while I am here. Don't keep
the meat up stairs. 1t will surely spoil.
Do you miss me now? Oh if you were
only here, if but for one hour. Has Mrs.
Or brought back your shirts |
hope the bosoms will suit you. You will
find the milk tickets in the clock I for
got to tell you about them when went
away. What did you do last evening +?
Were you lonesome without me? Don't
forget to scald the milk every morning.
And I wish you would see if I left thepo-
tatoes in the pantry. If I did they must
be sour by this time. How are you get
ting along2 Write me all about it. But
l must close now. Oceans of love to you.
Afectionately your wife.
P. S.--Don't set the teapot on the
stove.
