Wisconsin's Female Lawyer.

I,avina Goodsel. VINO has attracted a
good deal OF attention in Wisconsin by
drawing up bill to the State Legislature
providing that no person should be re.
fused admission TO the bar on account Of
sex, and securing its passage, seems TO be
possessed of unusual energy and Of de-
cided talent for law, She owes her sue
cess and reputation entirely to her own
unaded exertion. Some time ago she
was Employed here on fashion journal,
but conceiving that she could do some
thing better, she resigned her position
and went to GAINESVILLE, Wis. where her
aged parents resided and needed her as
sissance. Arrived there she determined
that she would no. settle down to washing
dishes and making over gowns, as most
women do. She had long had fancy
for law, and had convinced herself that
she possessed a business head. There
fore she began TO study law, kept at il for
three years, applied for admission to the
Circuit Court, passed brilliant exami-
nation and was admitted. She gained
her first cases, and one Of them having
been carried to the Supreme Court, her
right to plead there was denied on ac-
count of her sex. She reviewed the Su-
preme Judges decision in legal journal
and got the better Of him in argument,
and then went to work upon the Lesis-
lature. with the result already known.
Some Of the ablest lawyers in the State
admire her acumen and learning, and de-
clare her to be born barrister. She is
Represented as entirely feminine, notwith-
standing her profession, and one OF the
ber Of women in all the duties Of life.

holding aloft in the Green Mountains
of Vermont naturally attracted his at
tention and kindled new hope in his
bosom.
His heart yearned toward the young
champion of freedom, and he longed
to enlist him more fully in the cause
to make him, if it were possible, his
ooad jutor. So, staff in hand, in the
winter frost and snow, he walked all
the long and weary way from Balti-
more to Bennington. The meeting OF
these two men under the shadow of the
Green Mountains, whose winds were
ever the swift messengers of freedom
may be regarded as the beginning of a
movement that was destined, under
God, to work the overthrow of Ameri.
can slavery. From this fresh noun
tain spring came forth the moral influ
ences which, feeble at the first, became
at length too mighty to be resisted.
AS the result of this interview Mr.
Garrison agreed to take upon himself

OUR GRE1T N1T[ONAL HOLIDAY

We are again reminded by the recur-
renee of our great national holiday
that we ought to rejoice and give
thanks for the safe deliverance of our
country from all the perils that it has
encountered during the past year.
But we ought not to lose ourselves in
self praise, and to be so absorbed in
self laudation as to lose sight of our
short comings, or to forget that the
country is made up of individuals and
communities and if each individual
would contribute a correct, candid
and intelligent representation to make
up the community, it would be impos-
sible to have bad or disorderly ele-
ment in it and if all communities
were so made up, these communities in
the aggregate would compose II nation
perfect in respect to its integrity and
patriotism. If we had no bad material
in communities at home, we could fur
nish no bad man to represent US, nei-
Their in Congress nor abroad. Each
little community that celebrates to-day
will claim its full share of the common
glory won by our national achieve
ments; but will it be as ready to care
fully look and see whether it has con-
tributed to any of the undesirable ele-
lnents which compose the nation
Will the day be spent in self satisfied
glorifcation entirely? or will the les
sons of time be soberly and candidly
conned? Would it not be well to be
joyous and happy, and at the same
time to be careful that we give proper
attention to those things which will
improve our communities intellectual
ly, physically, financially and morally
Bs we'll as politically? We do not seem
to appreciate the fact that the perpe-
tuity and stability Of the government
depends upon the character and con-
4ition of each community, intellectual
ly, morally and socially, as well as po-
litically. Yet, nevertheless, it is true
that each little community presents a
point in the underpinning on which
the whole structure rests, and the dome
of the Capitol is not more dependent
upon the condition of the foundation
Of the building than is the government
of this republic upon our little commu-
nifty as part Of its foundation. There
fore let us be practical to-day in our
thoughts and reflections and consider
how we (meaning any community may
best contribute II good square block tc
lbe laid in the foundations Of the TEN
pie of liberty, and make such good
work that if the foundations ever yielt
they will not first crumble in our vicin
ity.

BENJAMIN LUNDY, THE ELIJAH
OF GARRISON.

From 1921 to 1880 the anti-slavery
sentiments of the country, defeated in
the Missouri struggle, had become too
feeble to utter even a whisper. From
one year to another scarcely an illus
ion was made to the subject by the
press. Benjamin tupQy, with his lit
tie sheet, Fhe Genius of Universal
Emancipation, first on the banks of
the Ohio, afterwards in Baltimore, then
q market for domestic slaves, main
tanned alone the cause of the down
trodden negro. Ills was q brave and
earnest voice, but it was scarcely heard
outside of the Quaker body to which
he belonged. The cotton traffic had
become immensely profitable, and the
0uakers in the great cities were as fond
of large gains as Others, To Benjamin
Lundy chiefly belongs the honor of
keeping alive the flame of anti-slavery
sentiment and of supporting the hands
of the man raised up to lead the new
crusade against slavery. On visit to
Boston for the purpose of interesting
the people in the question offreeing the
slaves, Mr.. Lundy became acquainted
with VIM. Lloyd Garrison, then editor
of the National Philanthropist, but
who in 1928 went to Bennington and
established the Journal of the Times.
This paper was temperate in tone, but
Lundy's Genius of Emancipation crea-
ted in Mr.. Garrison an intense fervor
tof hatred, so much so that he wrote a
petition for the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia, which he sent
TO all the postmasters in Vermont for
signatures.
Mr.. Lundly's paper was a small, din
gy-looking sheet, published once a
month. lie spent the greater portion
Of his time in travelling from place to
place procuring subscribers and en-
Ideavoring to excite an interest in the
subject by conversation or lecturing.
In someinstances he carried the head
rules, column rules and subscription
book of his paper with him, and when
he came to town where he found a
printing Office, he would stop long
enough to print and mail number o.
The Genius, lie was a man of slight
figure, though Of a wiry temperament
and these exertions no doubt overtaxet
his strength. No apostle of the Chris
tian faith ever exhibited more arden
and unselfish devotion to his work thar
that which characterized the anti-slav
cry labors of this devoted but simple
minded Quaker, who obeyed the rule
Of his sect in "minding the light" o

CURIOUS PREDIoTIoN.-Mrs. Lydia
Maria Child, the authoress and anti
slavery agitator, is now seventy-seven
years old, and lives at her old home in
Wayland, Mass. In the course of re-
cent conversation with a writer in the
Boston HeraLd she spoke of Garrison as
a firm believer in spiritualism, and adj
ded: Whittier admits that there is
something very mysterio us and unex-
planned in it. He told me that there
was an old Quaker whom he saw when
he was a lad, who was renowned for
his prophecies. lie very often spoke
under the influence of the spirit.
Whittier sent me a copy of prophecy
made by the old man in 1903. 1t be-
gan by foretelling a great split in the
church, which would commence With
the Presbyterians, and it would in
clude the Friends. We have since seen
the Pres byterians divide, and the Hick-
site trouble among the Quakers. Then
the old prophet said he saw a great
trouble about the slavery question,
which would end in war and eman-
cipation. He foresaw fnall ay grand
gathering of the churches into an es-
tablished church and ruled by it and
be saw the Society of Friends paying
tribute to this church and he saw
also a military despotism of the coun-
try, though this would only be for a
while. Now, this was a remarkable
prophecy, but all but the last two
statements have been fulfilled"

THE MOUNTAIN RILL.

Born OF the ample boards of ice and snow,
Garnered by wintry winds in caverns deep
The mountain rill goes trlckling down the
steep
And hides in the cool messy wood below
Where purling quietly it creeps along
Meath the dim arches, till it breaks away
Into the open pastures: There all day
1t leaps and frolics with merry song.
More soberly its gathering volume goes,
Winding with widening channel DER the
plain;
With margins green or bright with golden
grain
Dispensing food and gladness as it flows
The rumbling milestone now, and buzzing
loom
Require its aid, and with cheerful zeal
Setting its shoulder to the ponderous wheel
brushes foaming down the noisy flume
The mills-white waters turned to heavens own
blue,
TRANQUILITY glide in silent majesty;
Pictured with many an overhanging tree,
With flowers and fitting birds every hue.
At length DER meadows green the booming
wave
Tolls low requiem, and the vast sea
Type of msearchable Eternity
| Gathers the river to its boundless grave.
But not forever; from the briny deep
Fresh drops shall swift ascending to the sky
Come back to us in dewy ministry
To say that death is but a transient sleep.
