" omen and Mice.

Guun@ man, beware Of women who are
uo, afraid ot mice Ii is dangerous to risk
them. They are either too good ur too bad
for this world and its waShiugs \ woman
who can stand her gulund uucouCcrncd
and unpCrturbed az the advance of n
mouse, who can look upon thc dun intruder
without the exercise OF lip or Gi, with
ont the tluttcr Of heart or skirt, Is no,
the woman for ordinary wear aNd tear
She belongs TO one ut two forbidden trees
II 10 the first, she is too near cold pcrfcc
tiou, too much of "a pulsclcss paragon "for
human natures daily food. 80 Steer clear
ot her, young man; She will make your
life perpetual Sunday. during which YOU
will bg doomed To the stocks OF a stiff
shirt and climbing collars lou shall ever
rest beneath the shadow ot her spruutiug
wings, and your SIGH shall uol bC one ut
regret il some day She plume them and
doat away like whiiT ot Stccly smoke iu-
to winter sky. IT she belong to the other
Glass, she is "a woman formed uf the dust
OF pulvcrizcd granite and iron filings into
which the breath Of life was blown Low a
siroCCo, and who was tempered 10y being
set out ON an iceberg and volcano by
turns. She il is who is tit for treason,
spoils, diplomacy, murder, bloomcrs and
boots, but not for YOU. n YOU would be-
sCalpcd, go directly 10 the rcd man and
have il done in good order, but keep thee
away from Whitc-Squaw- not \ fnid -of-a
Mouse, for verify is she 'yard wide and
all wool"
Turn away from these and come and
look upon the ideal wOman-thc true ideal
Of feminine hcauty-an ideal for which
PrHXitiles and Phydias sought i'm vain; am
ideal which all the philosophy OF Plato and
his school could not create AN ideal which
never dawncd upon poet or painter in his
''drcam of fair women, an ideal beside
which the orO- faced conceptions OF Raphael
are lackadaisical and lifclcss; AN ideal
which all the world has looked and longcd
for, which all the world has had right under
its nose, and which all the world has been
too stupid TO recognize when it saw II.
Look upon her if YOU will. She stands i'm
a chair in the middle OF the room her
eyes arc rcsOlutcly closed; her lips are
parted in half suppressed shrcls and hys-
tcrical laughter; her hands clutch her
skirts, which she franuCally flirts up and
down to ward off and frightcn the poor
little mouse, which has long since He'd, ter
ror-strickcn, away. Anon, YOU catch a
tantalizing glimpse of pair of dainty
slippers and ankles and the comical ripplcs
into which her face is broken, and the
shades of the lily and the rose, which shift
and fit after each other over it, add n charm
TO the whole which ought TO smitc rs with
the rod the stonicst masculine hearts and
call forth the living fountains which some.
where under the surface flow through them
all Young man, this is not paragon OF
an Amazon This is woman. She is
your opportunity - embrace it and be
blessed
