SHE LOVES AND IS LOVED,


and fulfills all her duties towards those
to whom she has given life without a
thought of self or a regret for sacrifice.
As they grow up she is their friend, and
her daughters treat her as a sister, if to
the sons she is something more precious
than any sister could possibly be-moth-
er and sister, ideal of womanhood and
saint in one. She is a true friend to
those whom she adopts into the sacred
circle of her affections; and no one ever
knew her capricious or disloyal. Young
men go to her, as do girls, to pout out
the tale of their troubles into her ear,
but no one makes her contidGnte of his
sins. She is pure in heart as in deed,
and instinctively those who have dark
spots in their histories conceal them from
that would degrade them in her eyes.
She has nothing in common with the
horrors of life, if the affections and the
sorrows are hers by the right of the par
ticipation of sympathy. Little children
crowd round her as round a friend al
ready known to them, and she seems to
understand them as by second sense,
and to soothe them when no one else
can. Her servants love her as much as
they respect her, and supplement their
duty by an attachment which gives it a
personal charm too often wanting; for
she is wise In her management of them,
as well as generous, and treats them with
human respect as well as with the
guidance of a superior intelligence. In
society, when she appears with her
sweet, bright, pure face, which is lovely
from youth to age, she is,
THE asLIGHr OF ONES EYES"
to more than one. Whatever sorrows
she has had, she has never lost the sun
ny, frank afectionateness which was her
earliest characteristic, and none of her
trials have worn on her temper. She is
ever ready to sympathize with others I;
and, while the tears are in her own eyes
by reason of the sorrow that lies in her
past, her sweet, small mouth smiles
tenderly as she talks to you Of your
pleasures. Cheerful and bright as the
day, she is soft and tender as the night !;
religious and faithful to her creed, she is
neither harsh to those who differ from
her in their views, nor prone TO judge of
others from her standpoint. Her life is
true to itself all through; but true with
out being aggressive, faithful without
being iIliberal. Not often met with in
these dislocated latter times, who does
not love her when she 10 found? The
fate which brings her into ones horizon
Is blessed beyond all others; and chance
meeting becomes consolidated into q
friendship that counts among the hap

she carries with her blessing and love,
leaving behind her admiration and re-
greet; but every one feels both the richer
and the purer for having known her; and
the Sweet Woman of ones world stands
as the most precious Of those whom we
best prize and most truly love.

THE SWEET WOMAN.
A Very imaginative PIclure---BuI
One Thas Has Some Happy
Touches. An Ideal of
In6nfte UmseI6sh-
ness.

The sweet woman is questionable in
loving her husband, and him only-in
not caring to attract idle admiration or
the homage of the more serious adorer.
When she married, it was for love, pure
and simple, and she did not look to her
wifehood as to her papers of release from
control and her character for unlimited
freedom, She has not sailed near peril
GUS shadows. even in in the most inno-
cent hirtations,, and does not think it the
confession of her charms that she should
be made the centre of questionable at
traction, any more than she thinks it
the mark of superior understanding to
oppose her husband for the better asser-
ton or her own independence and digni-
ty. She has no very decided opinions on
politics, women's rights, or the doctrine of
fate and free will. She is not radical to his
conversation "high" when he is "broad;"
a bigot when he is liberal, or an agnostic
when he is reverent. She slips insensibly
aud by the natural training of love, into
the groove of thought where he finds
himself, and holds his position to be the
best of all because it is his. She is more
content with his fame than she would be
with her own; indeed she finds hers in
his, and would not care to be parsonage
on her own account. She desires for
herself, her honor and supreme personal
happiness, only bis love, only his health
and prosperity and, so long as he is
safe, her star is without a cloud to veil
its brightness. Her children while little
are not burdensome intruders whose ad-
vent she counts as the greatest misfortune
that could befall her; nor are they her
importunate rivals when grown up, as
her sister who lives only tor dress and
gayety, and she who cares for nothing
but intellectual display and masculine
ambition, find theirs. She loves them
with the honest, hearty love of woman
who finds nothing to be ashamed of in
her instincts, and who thinks that dress
and pleasure, ambition and public life,
are of no account compared to the happi.
ness of love and the glorious possession of

"Come on come A dozen of US can be
spared for the rescue" -,
Sixteen men swept down the valley like
the wind. The firing and the yelling con-
tinued, proving that the man who had been
called coward was making heroic tight
In ten minutes they came upon the lone
camp, light as day by the burning wagon.
Fifty feet from the bonfire, and hemmtd IN
by circle of dancing, leaping, bowling saw
ages, was Joseph's brother standing over
Jnsephs dead body. The gold hunters
heard the pop pop pop of the boys re-
volver as they burst into view, and the
next moment they were charging down
upon the demons, using rife and revolver
with terrible effect. In two minutes there
was not a live Indian in sight. Josephs
brother stood over the body. with an emp
ty revolver in his hand. The men cbeered
wildly as they looked around. but the boy
looked up into their faces without sign OF
exultstion, surprise or gadness.
There were three dead Indians beside the
wagon, killed where the fight commenced,
aud the corpses in front of Joseph's BROTH
err numbered more than the victims of the
sixteen men.
"Is Joseph badly hurt 2" asked one of
the men, as he hailed his horse beside the
'He is dead !" whispered the whlte-faced
defender.
"He isS God forgive me for the part I
took last night"
"You called him a coward !" cried ,Io-
seph's brother, land you are to blame for
this Was he a coward Look there and
there and there We drove them back
from the wagon-drove them clear out
here Joseph is dead. You are his murder
ers !"
Every man was near enough to hear his
voice and to note his action as he picked
up the rifle of an Indian and sent bullet
through his own head. With EXPLANATIONS
of grief and alarm trembling on their
lips, the mea spraug from their saddles.
The boy was dead-desd as Joseph-and
both corpses we're bleeding from dozen
wounds.
"We'll carry 'em up to the train and
have II burial in the morning." said one OF
the men, and the bodies were taken up be-
hind two of the horsemen. They did have
burial, and men looked into the grave
with tears in their eyes, for they had dis
covered that Joseph's brother was wo-
man,-yes, a woman with the whitest
throat and softest hands. 1t might have
been Joseph's wife, or sister, or sweetheart.
No one could tell that but they could tell
how they had wronged him and they said,
as they stood around the grave
"We hope the Lord won't lay it up
against us !"
