Anu NY Two SquhTt lnC0eS OF mirror
Say TO me am fair.
And must go dressed like a woman
Out OF my scanty pay;
hr. Grinder, you know how manage
On my nfty cents day.
Thus I am going helIward,
Fast AZ a woman can go,
And straight from the highly moral
Employment OF Grinder & Go.
Possibly God looks out
over the dark, sad city:
Does he look on me with eyes
Of anger or infinite pitye
Inexorable before me
Lies the life of the merciless street:
Liquor, kicks and curses,
Darkness and cold and seet.
So perhaps my first instalI1nent
OF rhe Eternal Sleep
Will be had in that cOsey refuge
Erected for Lost Sheep.
But, o Charitable Grinder,
How much less would il cost
Instead of hunting for Lost Sheep
To save sheen from being lost.

tiny feathers that glitter like gems.

Mrs. A. W. Tucker, wife of the Unitarian
minister at Peterboro, v H.. has been asked
TO preach for her husband when he needs
relief. 1t almost seems as though the con-
gregation think it would be a relief to them
to have her preach frequently.

The London Athenaum deals severely
with the New England coterie of female an-
thors-including Miss Alcott Miss Phelps,
Mrs. Whitney and Miss Dodge-when it says
that their ideas all run in the same groove
and describes that groove as being ''the
common use OF certain set Of vulgarisms,'

Miss Rhoda Broughton is snubbed by the
Spectator thus: Ills pity when charm
ing women talk of things that they don't
understand" said an old song truly,
and the pity is all the greater
when the things in question are
such as they could not well under
stand. There are passages in Miss Brough-
toms novels which constantly remind one of
that delightful French story of the little
girl who, in making her first confession, de-
tailed to her spiritual director a whole
series of atrocious crimes and wound up
with the avowsl, "Et puis, mon pere. je M dc--
clse d'aroir tue mon dduersarie en- duel"
"Jenny June" the New York correspond
ent of the Baltimore American, writes as
follows: 1t Is not doubted that Miss May
was sincerely attached to Mr.. Bennett and
that she is broken-hearted over the Incl
dents of this unfortunate affair. Some think
that il is interference which has done the
mischief, and that after all and after awhile
the marriage will quietly take place. But
this is hardly likely, and pity it is that it is
not likely, for it might be salvation TO a man
who possesses naturally many fine qualities
but who, taught responsibility because he
was a man, and left so young in uncontrolled
possession of limitless wealth and the sover-
eign influence of a great daily paper, would
have been almost superhuman to have with
stood the danger to which these circum-
stances exposed him.
This is what Nine. Caplin, in her new
work, entitled women in the Reign of
Queen Victoria has to say of her strong
minded sisterhOod: ut seems 10 me absurd
to talk of the right of women to en-
gage in any profession or occupation; the
prime question is, are they fit 10 engage in
it? Are they not whining and crying for
something to do, and neglecting. the things
which lie close before them--ike the baby
crying for the moon while he allowed the dog
70 run away with his bread and butter? They
are contending for admission into the pro-
fessions of law, divinity and physic. and
overlooking the arts which have garnished
their tables and rendered their homes beau
tiful and by which comfortable subsis
tence might be obtained"
No wonder women have weak lungs. and
every ill that flesh is heir TO, when they strip
themselves of their warm, thick clothing
worn during the day. and array themselves
