forgotten all about the matter, but when
it was brought to his recollection, ne
again made polite excuses, pointed out
that circumstances in the meantime
had greatly changed, and that he had
other duties to attend to now. But the
Secretary was an old-f fashioned man; he
had the curious and obsolete idea that a
promise was promise and ought to be
carried out, and said as much. And
did you really believe at that time. said

that promise ?" Certainly" was the

THE POOR, ABUSED SEX.


The thought entered my mind while I
was riding home in street-car at about
6 o'clock in the afternoon, that we, the
male portion of creations glory, are
greatly abused by what is called the
weaker sex. My thoughts are based on
facts. "The truth and nothing but the
truth, " as the court clerk rattles off an
hundred times every day without think
ing of what he says, so permeated is he
with the Importance of " truth "-as
far as the witnesses are concerned.

JOSEPHINE -(Continued. J


It was my uncles desire that should
marry Josephine. My aunt, of course,
would have something to say against
my irreligiousness, as she called it, for
she actually objected to my non-observ-
ance of many ceremonies which she
deemed absolutely necessary for saliva
tion. But she could easily be content
ed, if her husband would express his
decided will. 1t depended then on Jo-
sephine and myself to decide about this
matter.
One evening while we sat in the IL
brary [ said to her:
do you know, Josephine, it occurs
to me that I would do we'll to go to St.
Petersburg or any other seat Of learn
ing and devote myself to some scholar
ly profession. u have opened this con-
versation only for the purpose of sound
ing her sentiments toward me and with
the determination to propose to her, if
I should find that she had any respect
for me.
Scholarly profession ?" she echoed,
:" I believe that you are scholar enough
for your purpose
But this is not the thing. / may be
a well-informed man for a merchant,
but for a scholarly profession I must
study quite different from what I have
hitherto DONE"
No." she said, this would be false
step. A scholar by profession must be
either an eagle, able to swing himself up
to the heights of fame, or an insect liv-
ing his short little day on the sap Of
some shady leaf. You would be more
of the latter than of the former. be-
lieve that you are just the man to be a
wealthy merchant"
DO you think that would be an en-
tire failure as scholar ?"
Eyes, do. You have few faults to
be good for anything but merchant"
Few faults? What do you mean by
that ?"
ct mean that man destined for spir-
itual greatness must have great many
faults. He who is cautious and circum-
spect without being keen and shrewd
pensive and thoughtful without being
romantic and poetical honest and pure
without being brave and imposing able
for deeds of any kind without desire
to search after new experience-is good
only as businessman or artisan, but
not as scholar, not for any noble pur-
suit in life.
"You mean to make me compliments,
cousin ?" I said, while I felt as though I
could tear her in pieces for that bit of
analysis of my character. You admit
so many virtues in me-"
"The fact that you think or rather
say so, proves that am not mistaken"
she answered coolly. "If you would
have the stuff of man in you capable
of doing any good as a scholar, you
would meet my remarks differently
You would either smile conceitedly with
out making any remark, or resent my
severity as you feel it. 80"
II would perhaps do the latter if
had man before me, not girl" said,
while felt as though twenty nails had
held me riveted to the chair.

age who tried to look youthfully. There
was mechanic literally exhausted
from the tolls of the day, sitting near
the door. He would not yield his seat
to the lady. She looked daggers at
him.
1t was only Miss Sprightly, Light
move, and their friends, who did not
care if the gentlemen did not offer them
their seats, because they rather enjoyed
the tumbling accidents which happen at
sudden stop or strong pull Of the car.
The peals Of laughter, the involuntary
grasp at the arm of a stranger, the very
charming: Beg pardon, sir and the
very polite response, perhaps with a
flush in the face, afforded them fun
Workingmen with their cans in which
they had taken their cold dinner with
them; mechanics with their tools !;
fathers of families with packages of
gifts for their darlings at home, ETC.,
hung about on the platforms of the car
as best they could. Who were the
abused, who the abusers in this crowded
car?
Simple Bierglass is an honest laborer
in a soap factory and gains very de-
cent livelihood. But he works very
hard from sixteen to twenty hours every
day. According to the kind of labor he
performs, his working clothes are greasy
and soiled, his hands are rough and even
his face cannot always be cleanly
shaven. He is a hard toiler, but he
works with pleasure. All his earnings
he brings home to his wife whom he
loves ardently. He is proud to see her
well-dressed and in good company. But
when the good lady goes out for stroll
in the afternoon dressed like princess
and in the company of one or more of
her dear" lady friends, do you think
she would recognize her laborious, be-

! in silk, trimmed with laces, and shad-
pwed with ostrich feathers, to speak to
laborer whose garments are glistening
ith fat, whose face is not smoothly
Maven and whose sleeves are tucked up
denuding brawny, muscular arm with
rough, hard working hands OF course,
she crosses to the other side of the
street to avoid meeting him who dresses
shabbily for the sake of providing fine
things for her, whose hands are worked
rough for the sake of gaining the means
to buy for her kid gloves. Who is the
abused, who the abuser in this instance
Shall [ continue in this strain ?. =.
Well, | will rather not. In every sta
tion and department Of life I see my
own poor sex abused foully abused by
those for whose sake they live, they
suffer, they die. Some of them are to
be pitied, some to be despised for allow

man ?" she said with sarcastic smile,
which simply crushed me. "The great
est torture in life for me would be if my
lot were cast with man who is neither
fool enough to be my toy, nor great
enough to be my master. This, cousin,
is direct answer to the subject which
you intended to broach indirectly 80"
The last remark was coup-de-grace.
You will perceive from this dialogue
what mind, what a penetration that
girl has. She understood at once that
my speaking about pursuing scholarly
profession was not in earnest. She
drew her conclusions and turned the
conversation upon the subject l was
thinking of, with her characteristic apt
ness and precision. l remained with
my uncle six months afterward, during
which time I did not have to suffer
much of Josephine's whims. But the
recollections Of her are always pleasant
to me, for from her I have learned to
know myself. You found me pondering
on these recollections when you came to
me this evening""
my dear fellow" [ said, the truly
remarkable aptness which your cousin
has displayed in the last dialogue is in
consistent with the chaotic state of her
mind depicted by you. There was sa-
gacious devination, logical conclusion,
and more than ordinary cleverness in
the turn she has given to your CONVEX
sation readiness of wit, moreover,
which borders on genius and for which
no chaotic mind is capable. Heartless-
ness, to be sure, there was in her re-
marks, but the heartlessness of chirur-
gian who knows full well the pain he in
ficts, and is equally convinced of the ne
cessity Of the operation. I have known
persons Of that kind of chaotic minds ;
stuffed with information without any
culture Of brain or of heart-but they
were the slowest and most helpless con-
versationalists precisely the reverse
of your cousin Josephine. I truly be-
lieve that you have wronged her with
your description.
You beat me there, old fellow" Jo-
seph said pensively; and yet I believe
that [ have been fortunate not to fall in
love with her. and more fortunate yet
to avoid marrying her"
"This may be SO, said. But in my
mind I thought that if he had indeed
loved that woman, she would make
shining light of him. There was not
spirit enough in him to be kindled by
her fame. She knew it and was pro-
voked for the excellent qualities of the
man which were to be lost for the lack
of high-spiritedness.

dimes, he would run rather close to the hon nd :
airy line which separates honesty from disho n
