cvitable conclusion, when one finds
companion and keeps his company, it
should be presumed that he has found
his equal in all that is nscessary to make
the association agreeable, and the world
has nothing to do with whether his select
ed companion sprang from an aristocrat
or plebcian.
Tho father saw twas useless to reason
longer with the son as he had certain
fixed opinions in his mind concerning
the subject of controversy that could not
be eradicated, so he closed the conversa-
ton by saying;--
Luther, if you desire this association
with Rose Fadden. | shall not object,
and will take your word for her culture
and refinement"
Father" said Luther, II thank you
sincerely for this kind concession | al
ways knew that you were not disciple
of this narrow minded and illberal theo-
ry of birth being the only true standard
by which we can measure social distinc-
ton. My aunt has exercised this in
auence over you and diverted your mind
from its native channel"
Thus the contest ended with a victory
for Luther.

wRITTEn FOR THE "sENTINEL. "
WOMhN'S MISSION.

God made woman pure and bright,
To be mans solace and delight.
Alas both were tempted and deceived,
And of Eden's garden then bereaved.
Yet even in their fallen state
Man still cherished his loving mate.
This primeval blessing alone remained
Of the higher bliss they first attained.
o, woman WELD thy rod of power;
Cheer man through peril's darksome hour;
Should he falter by the way,
BE thou his comforter and stay.
Lead him where crystal streamlets flow,
Beyond the groveling scenes below;
Neglect no duty; In light or shade
Divine mandates must be all obeyed.
God has given to each part
To act with pure and upright heart,
And his holy spiri. will descend
On those who try their WAYS to mend
When LIES changing scenes are DER,
And loved ones meet to part no more,
May each and all be clad in white
In the Redeemer realm that knows no bligh,

with money, education, acquired art,

Of Him who judges righscously. Are

hope Gods blessing on thl course we are

flies and we must fly to keep up, or be
left behind each second, like the tick Of

THE DREAMER.

All day the white haired woman sits
Beside the open door and knits;
No living thie x her dim eye sees.
As busy with old memories.
She dreams her dreams of what has been,
And knits her old timed fancies in.
She thinks OF those who long ago
Went out across the threshold low.
How many times her listening ear
Has thought familiar footsteps near.
And she started up to find
A dead leaf rustling in the wind.
But never as to those who lie
Beneath the wide and tender sky.
With folded hands on quiet breast.
All wrapped about with peace and rest.
She thinks of them. For here they tread
The green earth with her. None are dead
Though years have fallen like the leaves
About the graves where summer weaves
Her grass fringcd cOverlet to keep
Safe hid from us the ones asleep.
She sees them all. Not grass nor mold
Can hide the ones she loves of old.
She talks with fi,em. when Drowned winged
bee
Makes merry in the locust tree
She thinks he comes and sits with her,
Whose voice was loves interpreter.
Oh. dreamer! young again to day,
What matter if your hair is graye
Sometimes she thinks that roun her knee
Her children play in happy glee,
And when they tired and sleepy grow
She sings some songs of long ago.
And on her loving mother breast
She rocks her little ones to rest
oh, dreamer. knitting all the day
Your dreams in which our stitches gray,
Yours is happy. happy heart
A haunted world from ours apart;
The years that turned your tresses gray
Have given you back your youth to- day.

HOW TO RETURN AFAvOR.

An old Scotchman was taking his
grist to mill. in sacks thrown across
he back of horse, when the horse
stumbled, aud the grain fell to the
ground. He had not the strength to
raise it, but he saw horseman riding
along, and thought he would ask him
for help. The horseman proved to be
a nobleman who lived in the castle
hard by, and the farmer could not
muster courage to ask favor of him.
But the nobIeman was gentleman,
also, and not waiting to be asked, he
disinounted, and between them thew
lifted the grain to the horses back.
John-for he was gentleman, too
lifted his cap, and said: My lord, how
shall ever thank you for your kind
nessT 'Very easily, John. replied tie

A TRERIE EN- DOUS GIRL
Warren County. Ky, Letter to tht Frankl
Patriot

u
Patriot.
This child, girl, was four years of
age on the Goth day of last March. She
weighs 100 pounds, measures eighteen
inches across the chest, aud is four
feet eight and one-half inches high.
There is thick growth of hair cover
ing her entire body, while her face is
covered with whiskers, including a
mustache. Up to about eighteen
months ago, she was a hearty girl. At
about that time her body became very
hot and was covered with heavy
perspiratiOn, lasting for several days.
The Odor occasiOned by the perspira-
ton was very offensive, aud within
fifteen minutes after being cleanly
dressed her body and clothes would
become saturated as ii by some black
colored liquid. When the perspira.
tion ceased, the hair began growing,
leaving only the soles of her feet and
the palms of her hands bare. Her
voice attained a remarkable depth,
sounding as though it came from the
inside of q barrel. Her strength is as
tonishing. She can carry her two
year old sister under her arm with ap-
par mt ease, and the mother states that
the child actually does not know its
own strength. The statements herein
made are strictly true, and, if necss-
sary, the testimony of the clild's par
ents and many people living in the
neighborhood can be procured for cor
rotation.
