with all that is expensive about them;
but we must have men and women
whom nature as we'll as training has
made teachers; we must have the heads

The plough tears up the tawny land,
And burrows follow where it goes

The grain therein with lavish hand.
Thick springs the golden wheat, and like

As dismal days that know no change.
Yet in the midst strange, fair flower il

paragraph relating to Charles +.
Browne (Artemus Ward printed from
Scri5ner's Magazine in yesterdays Tri-
Juae, has elected a note from a CORES
pondent, who says that during recent
visit to London he occupied in Craven
street tie same rooms which were
Brownies during his stay in that city.
Artemus was spoken of kindly by every
body in the house, and the landlady
was never weary of descanting upon
his atfability and humorous talk She
said, speaking from personal observa-
ton. that his popularity in the best
social circles of London was something
uncommon, and that she had never
had so many carriages with coronets
on the panels at her door before or
since. Yet this success came slowly;
the first nights Of the lectures were
failures; but soon there WAS such a
rush to Egyptian Hall that it was next
to impossible to get in if one was at all
late. Poor Browne was even then dy-
ing of consumption, and was only kept
alive by stimulants constantly admin
istered to him during the night by his
servant.-N. Y Tribune.

WOman'S Inconsistency.

We do not assert that woman is abso
lutely fixed in her love loyalty; but she
is such compared to men. Were she @
hundred times less stable than she is
he might well honor her in that as his
infinite superior. Love to her means
loyalty, dedication. She is liable to
deceive herself--she is far more Liable tc
be deceived. But when she gives with.
ont reserve or stint the wealth Of hcr
affection, she plays the prodigal to the
last, unless his conduct stirs her to
count the cost. The law of her being
is not to swerve where her heart l"Ads
the way. nor will she, save except ~
ally. Too often, however, her falt ful
heart is driven back by him who sum-
moned it from the first-driven back by
neglect and indifference. rejection
and to shield himself, he calls his
GOODNESS or his cruelty her in
constancy. He is industrious in
finding faults in her that will excuse
his own. He says she is fickle-inc"n-
slant. She cannot comprehend no" or
why she is so, though she has not 'he
holiness to dissent from what she hears
on every hand. She discovers in him
extraordinary lapses from loyalty, VIC
lated pledges, sundered ties. These are
not natural to her; but as she, her teach
ers say, was born inconstant, he cannot
be so, surely. Her divergence from
him helps her in her uprighteous self
condemnation. Her looking at herself
through his eyes draws his defects
and exaggerates her own. He is
her consider and casuist. He always
puts her in the wrong, and graciously
pardops her for the sin he has himself
committed. No marvel her logic is
perplexed, and her ethics are Devil
dered. For such is mans power over
woman. -Ladys Jo1mal.
