"APARAGOE OF HER SEX.

There is many truth spoken in jest,
many a one in sarcasm, and both jest
and sarcasm, when acting as The opinion
that impells the steel' Of truth, sends
the shaft with unerring certainty. We
have often thought Of this when read
ing paragraph, where the desire to be
witty and sarcastic, and by this means
to bring the object into derislon, has de-
feated its own object signally and totally.
Under the head Of "a paragon Of her

copied from one paper to another, reach

accomplished in the last thirty years,
in the face Of obstacles that would be
sufficient to make the bravest turn back,
and remembering that she has never
once faltered in public duty, the while
she has kept her private life above the
aspersions even Of the narrow-minded
foes Of liberty, we feel that to designate
her as "Ihe woman who dared" is not
derision, however intended, for she has
dared only to do right. Bat here is

IN nYR nLDEN TINES. y

It Is difficult to realize the improve
ment made in the past century in the
implements used to accomplish even
the simplest arts of agriculture. So
gradually has the scythe succeeded the
sickle, and the reaper the scythe; the
horse thresher the fail. and the steam
thresher that moved by horsepower;
the factory the hand-loom and the
thousand spiud.es flying At the behesi
Of water the buzzing spinning " heel,
propelled by woman's weak arm, that
the present geI GRAFTON enter into posses
sion Of the manifold labor-saving ma
chimes without realizing the vast con-
cessiOns that muscle las made to mind
in producing them. The man riding
around his field on his sulky plow with
an umbrella to protect him from sun
shine or shower, reads as one reads
mythical stories Of times when the plow
was a sharpened stick and the propell-
ing force thereof a single OK. We are
told that in some parts Of Scotland in
former times the plows were drawn by
four horses abreast, aud required the at.
tendance Of three men. The business OF
one man was to drive; for that purpose
he placed himself between the middle
horses with his face toward the plow to
guide it straight and in this position be
stepped backward with the reins in his
hand. The second walked behind the
horses with a staff which he fastened iu
front of the beam aud by means of il
regulated the depth Of the burrows, rails
ing or lowering the plow as occasion re-
quired. The plowman followed, hold.
ing the stills, and in this formidable and
ludierous manner they attacked the
soil. In harvest they bore home the
grain in a basket machine placed on
horseback, persons walking on each
side with forks to keep it in place.
When persons talk of the good old
times Of our forefathers, it would bt
well, before they sigh for a return to the
primitive simplicity of the same, to ask
themselves whether they would be-
willing to pay the rude price for suct
return.

HUMANE LABORs.

Atthe late anniversary meeting (the
eleventh) Of the Massachusetts society
for the prevention Of cruelty to animals,
at fremont Temple, Mr.. George P. An
gell reported ninety-three societies and
46s regularly employed agents in the
State, to investigate aud look after cases
Of cruelty to animals, and the income OF
the society is Sl2,6 ,6S7 s.. lie said: $50
long as existing forms Of cruelty prevail
in our slaughter-houses and cattle mar
kets; so long as thousands Of animals
are left without sufficient food in win
ter; so long as our old. lame, and worn
out horses are subjected to cruel treat
ment; so long as thousands Of children
are growing up in our cities and towns
fond Of brutal sports, and regardless Of
the rights Of weak creatures, so long
will there be work and use for all that
there may be given to this sorganization." !"
Letters were read from Bishop Foster
and John G.. Whittier. Nathan Apple
ton told OF the elegant parlors in Paris
in which he had met the members Of a
kindred society, and that they there
had to hold a congress every two years
in the interest OF this cause.
The laws offering inadequate protee-
tion to helpless wives against brutal and
drunken husbands, Lucy Stone sug-
gests that these poor creatures, as
helpless as are the dumb beasts whose
welfare is looked after by the society,
apply to the same for redress.

Those whose blood yet thrills with
horror at the mention Of the tragic death
Of Mrs. Manuel and her infant, on the
day before the sudden Indian break
on Camas Prairie, Idaho, on the l4th Of
June 1877, will be further shocked to
learn that her murderer is none other
than "Yellow Bull" who has been fig
uring so conspicuously at the executive
mansion and other places in Washing
ton in company with Joseph the Nez
Perez" during the past season. 1t
would perhaps add to his popularity
with those who so deeply sympathize
with the "poor Indian" if be were to
appear at the next Presidential levee
with the sealp-locks OF a woman and
baby hanging at his girdle, as tokens Of
his bravery and proves.

THE EFFECT OF A CAUSE.

The True Blue, n greeuhack paper
published at Rochester, New York,
says: "Most women act in regard to the
elective franchise as most men do 10 the
greenback question. They are not open
to conviction. They are ready to throw
II aside without an effort to secure it, or
a thought as to whether it is Of value to
them or not. Perhaps practical results
will bring conviction where theory has
failed. In Wyoming Territory the
women vote If they want to; hence
they possess the power, and as a result,
take the public schools, for instance,
they get the same pay for the same
work as meu do. How is it here? Men
get 81, $50 a year, while women equally
competent get third as much. All the
effects of cause, and that cause the
possession Of the ballot by the one, aud
the lack oft by the other"

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL JOURNAL.

In our reading Of the chronological
Journal and Science Of Healh for
April, we were struck by the general
tone Of the magazine. Its aim is to ele-
va,e, and it is pure in character in
every department, while entertainment
aud instruction are skillfully blended,
so that its matter is exceedingly inter
esting from beginning to end. Indeed,
the chronological Journal is a capital
illustration Of what can be accomplished
In the way Of making science pleasant
to the general reader. All the depart
ments are replete with amusement and
instruction. The smaller type es-
pecially abouuds in valuable hints to
the reader. The Journal is published
now at s. 90 a year, % cents a number,
with a choice Of premiums to each sub
scriber. Address 5. r. Wells & Co.,

Among the many truths uttered by
Carlyle is the following: "The moment
we feel angry in controversy, we have

truth, would be found to be mere per-
sonality induced by selfishness.
