Tributes to Woman.
[soc1AL.]
It is because women have create,
tact than men that they prove the most
influential teachers. They have moro
self-restraint than men and are natural
~ more gracious and polite. In matters
of social detail, sptness and de1terity
come TO them like nature, and hence
well-msnnered men usually receive their
best culture by mixing in the society of
gentle and adroit women.-Sanla4el
Smiles.
[pERsoNAL.]
We cannot conceive woman as dis
tinct. distant, unrelated; she seems so
personal, concrete, so near; yet we can
never quite come up to her discern
ments, nor gainsay their delicacy and
truthfulness. The very name of woman
becomes soiled if we seek to be related
to her by the coarse ties of appetite in
stead of the charm of ideas. Endowed
with magnetic gifts, by necessity of sex
a realist and diviRer, she lives nearest
the cardinal facts of existence. instinct
with the mysteries of love and fate; a
romance ever attaching itself to her
name and destiny.-A. q. Alcott.

Women are such strange creaturesl
Is there any trick that love and their
own fancies do not play them? Just
see how they marryl A woman that
gets hold of q bit of manhood is like
one OF those Chinese wood-carvers who
work on any odd, fantastic root that
comes to hand. / should like to see
any kind of man, distinguishable from
a gorilla, that some good and even pref
ty woman could not shape a husband
out of.-O. W. Holmes.
POWERFUL
When the people talk of women's
claims and women's rights I think of
the tournaments Of former days. If the
ladies had descended into the arena, the
most Of them would have made but
sorry knights, whereas, remaining in
the gallery, it was they who gave the
prizes, aud it was to win the need OF
praise from them that each knight did
bis best. There is something OF the
same kind even in the most unchival-
rous ages.-Artha4r Helps.

ally control everything. Woman is one
of the ablest and most cunning Great
ures who have ever mingled in human
affairs. I understand those who say
they don't want the ballot. They want
the power without the responsibility
SO while we are being amused with the
ballot, woman is quietly taking things
into her own hands.-C. D. Warner.

Love in woman is no trihing emotion
On its joyous side it seeks affinity with
every phase Of nature that is gladstone
and of promise. When enc thoughtful
~ considers the part which love has in
tho destiny and character of woman,
the issues that come out of it for veal
or misery, her ruin or perfection, moth
ing is more pathetic, and death itself is
not more solemn.-He7ary Giles.
One Of the finest compliments eve,
paid to woman was that of Steele, when
he said to Lady Hastings, "that to have
loved her was a liberal education. n
Viewed in this light, woman is an ed
ucator in the highest sense, because
she educates humanely and lovingly.
