PARAG Y.

Notwithstanding the dark hue of their
complexions, which varies from olive to
true black, all the Paraguayan women look
exceedingly cleanly and even handsome
with their e4quisitely white frocks and
glossy, raven hair, which, like merlnaids,
they are continually combing. Their figures
are faultless aud remarkably erect, never
having known the deforming confines of a
corset; the poise of their heads is something
to excite the envy of fashionable lady.
Yet, whatever they carry is balanced on
their heads-jurs of water, baskets of
yerba, or bags of naandioca. One meets
them every morning coming to market in
single file, all dressed tie same, laughing
and talking, with their naked toes seeming
to grasp the ground. Owing to the rank
herbage, they do not turn their feet out,
as the only track through the dense grass
from one house TO another is that of the
bullock-wagons, which is invariably fol,
lowed, as it is easy to lose ones self in the
tall pampa-grass and underground. Ever
in the city the ground is sometimes covered
with tangled creepers.

A Home Missionary that is BOine
the Greatest Good for the Greatest

The Rev. DR.. McAnally, of the st. Louis
Christian Advocate, through an editorial
in that widely circulated Journal under
date of the 8th of January, refers to "Ma-
guire's Cundurango" in the following fat
tering terms, which are entirely voluntary
on the part of the Doctor. Any one can
test the virtue of this remarkable medicine
and become as emphatic as this eminent
divine. We quote his remarks:
"MAGUIRE's CUEDURANGo.
"We have no partiality for patent med,
cines, never use or recommend them, un.
less we know of what they are composed
and then, as best we can, judge of Their
general effects by the nature and character
of the component parts. Whether the
medicine named above be patented or no
we can not tell-never inquired. But know
what are its component parts, and give it as
our candid and decided opinion-ar
opinion carefully formed-that to produce
healthy and safe action on the liver, kid
neys and secretions generally, there is moi
better medicine known. Learning O
what ingredients il is composed, and know
ing something of their effects, we'tried the
mixture on ourself and others, and fount
it to be most effective and salutary ant
heartily recommend it to all persons O.
bilious habits. This is written on our owl
motion, without the suggestion or knowledg,
Of any other person whomsover. And it i.
written for our readers generally, in tn
hope of benefting them."-[St Louis Globe

The Cloud.
The cloud lay low in the heavens

The cloud lay low in the heavens
Such a little cloud It seemed,
just lightly touching tho yea's broad breast.
Where the rose-light ling cred across the west
Soft and gray as innocent rest.
While the gold athwart 1t cleaned.
1t looked such harmless cloudlet,
Seen over the sleeping wave;
Yet the keen-eyed mariner shook his head,
As slowly 1t crept over the dusky red,
"see the rocket lines are clear" he said,
And his lips set stern and grave.
And or ever the eve was midnight,
That cloud was lowering black;
Dimming the light of stars away,
Dimming the nash OF the furious spray,
AS the breakers crushed In the northern bay;
Winds bowling ON their track.
So, in life's radiant morning,
May tiny care or cross
Just trouble the peaceful course OF love,
AS If the strength of its sway TO prove,
AS If to whisper, my surface may move,
But my roots can laugh at loss"
1t may seem such little jarring,
Only experience sighs,
Tor with times sad learning to sharpen The
glance,
He sees tho "rift in the lutte" advance,
Knows how fate may seize upon circumstance
To sever the closest ties.
All, me! in the fercest tempest
The life-boat its work may do;
But what can courage or skill avail
When the heart lies wrecked by passion:
gale,
When change or death have furled the sail,
When treason has bribed the crew.
Then watch. oh hope and gladness,
Watch for the rising cloud,
Sun it away, frank warmth of youth,
Blow it away, bright breeze Of truth,
For oh, there is neither mercy nor ruth,
Should 1t once your heaven enshroud.

editorial-woman is quietly but surely
winning position. As correspondent
she is the very concentrated extract of a
social tea party. She can be gossipy
without being garrulous, and sarcastic
without being abusive or vulgar. In the
so-caIled "learned professions" in the
United States there are already five hun
dred and thirty doctresses, sixty-eight
preacheresses, and about half dozen
lawyeresses, besides four hundred and
twenty dentistesses. Many of these are
enabled to combine two or three callings
at once, as, for example, Mrs. Gibbs, of
St. Louis, who notifies the public that
she is an "elocutionist, poetess, washer
and ironer."
In Illinois the ladies have filled the
office of County School Superintendents,
and have without exception managed the
financial part of their business to the
great satisfaction of the public. Not a
cent has been lost either through dishon-
esty or ignorance. In many cases they
have evoked order out of chaos. They
have put school affairs ON the most pros
porous basis. They prove to be practical,
intelligent and energetic workers, and
hold the teachers under their supervis-
ion to the strictest discharge of their du-
ties. Even those who opposed the law
making women eligible to this office, now
pronounce her, after five years trial, a
perfect success. There are those who,
with these facts before them, are in favor
of extending the field of female labor
even to the extent of allowing them, un-
der certain limitations, to wrestle with
the ballot-box.

UTILIZING NATURAL FORCES,

The tendency of the age is to utilize
all the products of Nature. The ele
mental forces-steam, fire, electricity,
water, wind, etc, etc-have all in vari-
GUS forms surrendered their latent
strength to the almost absolute control Of
man. They were once in a certain sense
his tyrants. They are now, if not his
slaves, his submissive agents, his hewers
of wood and drawers of water. They
fetch and carry for him, they devour
space, and make his days as prolific Of
events as the years of his forefathers
were, so that in his nominally brief span
of three score and ten years he works out
greater physical results than did the pa
triarchs with their centuries.
Perhaps one of the most progressive
steps taken in this generation, aside from
the inventions Edison has perfected and
the inventions he is expected to perfect,
and the progress of the Congressional
Grasshopper Committee in exterminatine
that pest, is that which has been and is
being taken to enlarge the sphere OF
womans usefulness-to utilize the latent
forces of that ''last, best gift" &c.
Hitherto, although under protest in
many cases, woman has been kept dowr
to the narrow sphere of domestic life, anG
her aspirations and duties were limited
to the perpetuation of her species and tC
spanking her children into the paths Of
rectitude. For ages before the power Of
steam or the marvellous capabilities O.
electricity were discovered man mus
have become cognizant of these laten
forces in the female SEX but their deyel
opment and utilization were undoubted
ly restrained by the moral cowardice O
their physical superiors-their would-b
lords and masters.
The statement of the fact is, or ough
TO be, humiliating to the ruling powers
that mankind have long been tremblin
for their supremacy in all the walks o
Gfe-at the Bar, on the Bench, in th
Pulpit, in the Court and camp and field
and-corner grocery. They realize wit
the spirit that dictates prophecy tina
when woman once steps in to line on
basis of equality, the day of fat office
and sinecures and honors without meri

of merchandise, are forever after to b
things of the past; and that the tran

is to be a camp-meeting at Sugar Grove
Encampment on the Ohio, twelve miles
below Louisville. We will go for few
days You were never at one, and it will
be something new for you"
So the next week found Mabel with her
friend on the grounds at Sugar Grove. In
all Mabers wanderings she had never seen
anything like this. They arrived at night,
just after evening services had commenced.
There was an almost oppressive quiet pre-
vading the place and people. 1t was so
different from her ideal of Western camp
meeting. There were no unearthly shouts
or shreks, no wild excitement, no rushing
frantically about, but, to her surprise,
everything seemed to be done decenty and
in order.
The rippling of the waves on the shores
of the Ohio on one side of the grounds, the
signing of the wind through the forest of
trees which lined the hill that lowered to
almost mountains height on the other
side, the moonlight struggling through the.
branches of the trees, the smell of the burn
ing wood from the tents, the ftful glare of
the fires which lighted the grounds, the
changing shadows of the tents, the chirping
of the night Birds the incessant hum of
insects, seemed fitting accompaniment to
the earnest tones of the speaker. And God
never seemed so near to her as here.
The preacher was the Rev. Mr.. M,
from Louisville. A man who had given up
career of fame for the cause of religion.
AS Mabel listened, to the eloquence of the
speaker she learned, as she never had be-
fore, from whence help must come to meet
bravely such trouble rs hers had been and
was still. 1t was well that she asked and
received in that hour the strength that she
needed for, as she turned to leave the tent
after the sermon, a gentleman who had
been seated behind her, held out his hand
in greeting. She looked up and recognized
Capt Gilmore. They walked together out
of the crowd in silence.
''AIabel have no wife now," he said,
pathetically.
dead Z" Mabel asked.
''Yes, over two years ago. And you,"
he said, looking down into her face;
'T suppose you are married by this time ?"
"No."
''No?"
And that was all. They separated here,
she to 90 with her friend, he to return on
the boat to the city. They met only once
more during the meeting, and then only
enough for him to ask her where she was
spending the summer.
A week after Mabers return to her
friends house, Capt. Gilmore visited her
He met her with outstretched hands, and
| his first words were:-
''You know why I have come, Mabel"
Not until you tell me-" she replied,
quietly.
81 have come to ask you to be my wife,
Mabel"
Because you pity me?" she asked, look
up into his eyes.
because l love you"
"Tnen will be your wife"
That was their betrothal. The wedding
followed soon after. And to this day
neither has had cause to regret Mabel Wos
tons choice.
