nun flnd his W chair as we'll as other cam-
'ortS! These were the things that this pro-
found Professor found to evidence y dancer
IN the United States. 1t is hard to over-es-
inmate the value of this well-weighed criti-
cism from so eminent a source, based as il is.
on undcniahle facts. The female woman in
TINS country has unquestionablv arrived at
Il degree OF individlaliSm which places her
in many things on q level with man. She
cannot be depended upon to set out of bed
at 4 O'Clock of a winter morning to make Il
ire and get breakfast, Willie her lord and
master takes a beauty nap, With anything
like the certainty that she once could. She
won't eat the chickens gizzard while there's
breast lett,-no, nor afterward. either. She
objects to fill her husbands pipe and ~.sstart''
1t with a few gentle putfs, as any Professors
spouse ought to. She opens her husbands
letters on the same ground that he opens
hers. A man has no right here to whip his
wife, or to harness her to 4 pillow, as the Ger
man farmers do In fact, it's getting so in
our country that a wife has almost as many
rights as a husband, and the conviction is
slowly gaining ground that marriage is Il
matter OF mutual service and attention. We
owe Professor Chris,lieb something for
bringing this to our notice. He may have
stopped us on the brink OF q p%rccipice, as it
Were--Sp'snqfeld Republican.

Allow VOICE IN WoMAN.-Yes, we agree
with chat old poet who said that a low, soft
voice was an excellent thing in woman. In
deed we feel inclined to go much further
than he has on the subject, and call it one of
her browning charms. No matter what 9TH
er attractions she may still have; she nay be
as fair as the Trojan Helen, and as learned
as the famous Hypatia of ancient times: she
may have all the accomplishments consid-
cred requisite at the present day, and every
advantage that wealth can procure, and vet
if she lack a low, sweet voice, she can never
be really fascinating. How often the spell
of beauty is broken by coarse, loud talking!
How often you are irresistibly drawn to Il
PLAIN, unasuming woman, whose soft, sill
very tones ender her positively attractive.
Besides, we fancy we can Judge of the char
acter by the voice; the bland, smooth, faw-
ming tone seems to us to betoken deceit and
hypocrisy, as invariably us the musical, sub
dued voice indicates Il genuine refinement.
In the social circle, how pleasant it is to hear
a woman talk in that low key which charac-
.teriZes the true lady! In the sanctuary OF
home, how such a X voice ~sootles the fretfxl
child and cheers the weary husband! How
sweetly such cadcnces float through the sick
chamber; and around the dying bed, with
what solemn melody do they breathe a
prayer for a departing soul.-Ladses Reposi-

What If we walk the wastes of life to-day,
Weighed down with cares, and sore of heart viii
sorrow?
,.bcre waits for us across the drcary way
che golden dawn and splendor OF Tomorrow:
Tomorrow
a,r maths shall blossom like the meads of May.
yn-dav from Heavens peace we feel outcast-
We marvel if God marks the falling sparrow,
And to the shorn lamb teInpers the fierce blast.
Dear Christ!-we shall get back our faith to-mor-
row:
Tomorrow
,,ur doubts, and fears, and trayails will be past.
To-day we hug our pains and nurse our smarts,
And have no courage to pluck out the arrow
pressing with venomed point into our hearts,
But we shall be more firm, more brave, to-mor-
row:
Tomorrow
we shall more nobly, wisely, act our parts.
To-day our souls are torn with death-like throes,
But in the burrows SCARED by torturing harrow
The Master Of the seed fields patient sows
The harvest we shall reap with JOY tomorrow:
Tomorrow
Our wilderness shall blossom like the rose!

HOW AMERICAN WOMEN ABUSE THEIR
HUSBANDS.

DIR. Theodore Chrislibb, the German
"evahgelical" whose sweetness and light so
look captive the rest of the e~vangelicals at
Inc alliance meeting in New York some
years ago, has found a serious blot upon our
c~l'liixation in the great republic. Prof.
Chrlstlieb confided to a recent American
visitor that he had great fears for the future
OF our nation because 'the spirit OF Christ"
was not here. Pressed to explain his mean
ing, he did not cite any OF those financial or
social scandals that make us uneasy, but .sse-
'lou<ly declared that OH more than one occa-
son he dad heard an American married wo-
nan say to her husband. Dear, will you
orihg me my shawl?' and the husband had
brought i'll" And further, that he had seen
man come home and find his wife sitting
~ 'he best chair in the parlor, and not only
"la she not rise to get his dressing-gown and
''apers, but she did not rise at all, but let

One peculiarly about tretting, when IN
dulged in to a great extent, is that it redu-
ces its victims to the very verge Of dispair.
with anything to ever hope more. Yet a
change of scene and intercourse with the
right kind of people would eventually drive
such feelings from their mind. All who have
been housekeepers know, if o from expe-
rience, then ON observation, how men,
wearied with labor, will on their return
home fret at the smallest trifles. Sometimes
tits because they are hungry and tired. II
such be the case, it would be advisable for
YOU to get them something to eat as quick
ly as possible, if you value peace and quiet,
and under the refreshing effect of a good re-
past see how amiable they become. AS for
woman, they are as a rule SO sensitive that
they are bound tn fret-if not about one
thing, another. A ~long-nosed, sharp fea-
tured woman frets most after the work is
done, and she is completely tired out. A
round-tavorcd woman begins at the very
outset to do most of her talking. torment
ing herself and every one around her sim
ply because the work looms up before her
so that she knows not how she will be able
to accomplish it. In the end she is too wea-
ry to say anything. Sickness; or %confine-
ment in the house or one room for Il long
time will upset anybody's good qualities sun
less they are thorough Christians. But nat
urally placid men and women, who find
themselves fretting without any apparent
cause, ought to have perception enough to
see that it is the friction of the hard worked
machinery of body and mind. and know
that unless they bring into use a liberal sup
ply OF the OHIO Rest, the whole apparatus
will give out after a time, ere the task is half
done. Husbands, drop your labor, take
your wives away from their work for a sea-
son of undisturbed rest. If your childhood
days were happy ones, go among your for
mer playmates, and in recalling old times
grow young again. Pick out all the merri-
ment you can. Laugh till your dead aches,
and avoid every long-taced individual until
you are far enough advanced to show them
now to enjoy life. w

WISHING TO DIE.

When a man goes round the house sigh
ing and wishing himself dead, you needn't
trouble to put the bottle of opium away.
He wouldn't touch it for worlds. If he
should be suddenly attacked by collie you
would hear him screaming out for a doctor
at the top of his voice. One day Pompey
said he wanted to die and go to glory. He
wrought himself into an ecstatic state, and
told the people at the. prayer meeting that
he positively couldn't wait much longer.
That night, at twelve, some one knocked at
his cabin door. "What you want?" said
the colored man, trembling. II want Pom
pey to take him to glory" replied a gruff
voice. The darkey thought q momen and
then said, "Mr. Angel, Pompey done
moved up Norf three months ago, and don't
never expect to come back again. Now, 60
away" White or black we are all the same.

HOW WOMEN BUN AFTER MEN IN ENG
LAND.

We have an English exchange named IRON.
1t is a hard-hearted concern, as is apparent
from the following quotation: A recent
case of misconduct by Il drunken sailor in a
third class railway carriage, the terror OF his
female fellow-travelers, the communications
rope, and the general break down OF ordin-
airy precautions and regulations, has again
provoked a demand for more carriages set
apart for ladies on our principal lines of
railway. Like many other cries, this last
one is very silly, and could only have arisen
from a person completely ignorant of the
phenomena of railway travelling in this
country. The institution of a ladies' car
rage signifies so much waste OF space, and
nothing more. Ladies will not get into the
carriages set apart for them. They refuse

HER STOCKINGS

The other day Il grocery man at Vallejo
gave Il large party, at which the daughter OF
the carriage painter who lived next door
created quite Il sensation. 1t was not that
She was more handsomely attired than the
other ladies present, but that when she cir
ated in the |'dance of DEATH she was oh
served to display the only pair of pink silk
stockings in the room She left the house a
few moments at the expiration OF the dance.
and in the next waltz displayed a pair of
light blue dittoeS. An hour later her crush
ed and cXasperated female friends beheld
these supplemented by further hose OF a DEL
lcate chocolate color And so it went on.
until her miserable rivals determined to fol-
low her the next time she disappeared. They
traced her to her fathers paint shop in the
back yard. where she was discovered, brush
III hand, and about ornamenting her neither

salmon. The eXulting spies rushed back
With the damaging news, but it was too late.
Inc men, were too tight to understand, the
music had gone home. and the lights were
being put out. Thus it is that fraud and du-
pliclty triumph, while honest simplicity
walks around with a darn on its calf and a
hole in its heel.

The logic of childhood is sometimes ire
slstible. A promising youth of only seven
summers, who had been accused of not al
ways telling the truth, cross-examined his
father: Father, did you use to lie when
you were q boy - No, my son. said the
paternal, who evidently did not recall the
past with any distinctness. "Nor mother,
either" persisted the young lawyer. No;
but why "Oh, because l don't see how
two people who never told Il lie could have
a BOY that tells as many as l do" The
problem has never been solved. There is a
mistake somewhere, and the chances are
that it was not made by the boy.

when near the Pawpaw bridge at Rives-

hog which boy was driving over the
bridge. The team ran over the steep
bank ut the end of the bridge, Mr..
Arnett, who was driving, ending them
toward the river; but when within
about twenty feet ofthe river the horses
wheeled suddenly and the wagon was
upset. All escaped with only slight
injuries except Mr.. Arnett's daughter,
who was caught and held between the
lever and seat until the wagon was
lifted up. She was unable to speak
for some time, but finally recovered
and came on to town.-W Vest Virgin

contest for license or no license, was
ended, the weary combatants on the
license side found themselves in pos
session of the field. Victory had
perched upon their bloodslained ban

vey the field and view the wounded and
dead that lay strewn around, after the
smoke Of battle had cleared away
While thus halting and recounting
the valoroua deeds and noble achiev-
ments of tho heroes and champions of
the tangle foot cause, the hearts of
brave men we're touched, and they
wept for joy. But when the bodies of
three noble champions who had fallen
in the battle were stumbled upon, with
their upturned faces, all CHASTITY and
haggard in the moons pale light, their
limbs stretched lifeless upon the hard
pavement, they were stricken with
sorrow and grief. A wall, hidious

covered to be On fire last Sunday
morning abont 3 O'clock. The alarm
was given and the citizens of the vii
lage hastily gathered and vigorously
fought the fire fiend but not until four
houses had been destroyed, did they
succeed in conquering him. So far
as we can learn the sufferers are John
Google, b G. Google, and John Small
wood. The loss of real estate is not
stated but the loss of personal prop
erty is probably $500. The fire was
the work of an incendiary, who may
expect the wrath of the community

his guilt is established. By the her.

Town Election.

The borough election passed Off
quietly and resulted in the election of
ticket a majority of whom are sup
posed to be in favor of issuing license
to sell intoxicating liquors. This re-
suit is no doubt owing to the fact
that there was misunderstanding in
regard to the manner of voting. 1t
was agreed by several of the would
be managers and general ticket man
ufacturers, that good ticket should
be selected to be voted for by all par
ties and that the vote should then be
taken directly on the question of IL
cense or no license. and such tick
ct was agreed upon and printed call

ed to be unsatisfactory to some of the
anti-license men because majority
of the councilmen selected were sup
posed to be license men and new

INDIAN REMAINs.-Dr. l.. S. Brock
has portions of three large skeletons,
that were found by Clark Dean, few
days ago on the old Dean farm, at
Collins Ferry, on the west side of the
river. The skulls are ofimmense size,
as are the other bones. Unmistaka-
bic evidence of disease are given by
some of the bones. There was also a
string of beads made of bone, and his
calumet, or pipe of peace. Other re-
mains and relics have been found in
this vicinity, which indicates that this
must have been a somewhat important
locality, in the days that the Red men
occupied the country adjacent to the
Monongahela. But the history ofthe
deeds done by the Aboriginees here,
will never be known.
