herself quite as competent as men are TO

them in this particular. She is not extIav-

1.-THE LAST TIME"

We shall see the daylight breaking,
See the rosy dawn awaking;
We shall watch the twilight fading
On the path the elms are shading,
For the last, last time.
We shall see the blossoms swelling,
See the song bird build his dwelling;
Watch the dead leaves downward sailing,
When the Autumn winds are wailing-
For the last, last time.
We shall hear the song of pleasure,
Join the DANCES merry measure;
Shrink and dread the form of sorrow,
Which may meet US on the morrow,
For the last, last time.
We shall feel Hates venomed dart,
Aimed to pierce the inmost heart;
We shall know Loves sweet caressing,
Breathed from lips our own are pressing,
For the last, last time.
But in that land, where we are going,
There the skies are ever glowing;
There the smile of Love Eternal
Lights the hills forever vernal;
In that fair and fadeless cline.
Never comes the last, last time.

WOMEN AND MONEY.

An incesSant taunt of men is that WON
any thing about money. The former part
of the statement may be a fact as respects
many women; but the latter part, men
have no authority for making, because
they scarcely ever attempt to be teachers
The dense and irremediable financial igno-
rance of women is usually a foregone con-
clnsion; it is SO universally taken for
granted that hardly anybody thinks of
questioning it. Men mention it as a self
evident truth, because they have always
heard it so mentioned, and will continue to
affirm it, for generations yet to come, for
no better reason. If women have no clear
IDEAS of money, it is simply because every
effort is made to preclude them from any
and all intelligent acquaintance with the
subject. They understand that money has
power of purchase; they are aware, most
of them by severe experience, that it is
very hard to get; and there their informa-
ton ends. They would like to increase
their small stock of knowledge, and they
often try to. But they can't To all
questions the masculine reply is, "Oh. you
can't comprehend it." and so the matter is
dismissed.
Men seem to hold that financial knowl-
edge of every sort must be intuitive, if it
exist at all in the feminine mind, since it
never can be put there by any external
means. They have to learn whatever they
acquire for themselves; they are general
ly as ignorant of money before beginning
practical life as any woman can be; but
they never suspect that instruction of ex
perieuce would do her any good. If they
dollars and cents, she would be as wise as
they; but they would be obliged to forego
their beloved generalization. They appear
to believe that any degree of monetary
understanding would unsex her, and they
are perpetually Jealous to prevent her from
gaining it.
Nevertheless, they like to complain of her
extravaganza, or at least to laugh at her
W tSliuihtC NdiueS, "puutlluS
that she should be SO ignorant of what they
have taken the greatest pains to withhold
from her. They are constantly wishing
that she knew how to use money, though
they are resolved that she shall never have
any enlightenment from them. They are
like the overcautious parents who want
their boys to swim. but won't allow them
to 90 near the water.
1t is the duty of every man, especially if
he be of moderate MEANS to tell his wife
or daughters about his pecnnary affairs
what he has, the amount of his income,
and his capacity for earning. They have a
right to his business confidence, and if they
should get it, there would be far less room
for domestic misunderstanding and dis
cord. He has no ground for considering
them imprudeut or reckless of expenditure
when he keeps them in entire financial
darkness. They have no means of ,iudg-
ing whether they can spend with prudence
