False Sentiment as to Work for Young
Ladies.

A false sentiment has rendered it de-
rogatory for woman to be business
woman, for girl to earn or appreciate
dollars and cents, if she can possibly
find father, brother, or uncle to sup
port her. The noble army of working
women, who of all women best demon
strate their raison d'etre is in general
despised army ; and while society ap-
plauds the woman who is an artist, an
editor, an author, it does so by calling
her genius, and setting her out of that
grand corps where she legitimately be
longs. Families with three, four or
five daughters, whether there are sons
or not, if the father can possibly sup
port them, are brought up to do moth
ing but help mother a little This
helping is not generally really learning
housekeeping and seamstIess work in
all its varieties, but skimming the sur
face of things, making cake, dusting a
room, trimming gown, and leaving
those weightier matters of the law, as
shirt making, ironing, bread making
and beef cooking to some one else.
Girls speak of it as hardrhip, if they
are obliged by stress of circumstances

the girl is aside from knowing anything
about business she reads stories and
fashion magazines. not newspapers, ana
works on science and architecture, and
practical every y-day life. She does not
learn telegraphy or carving, or furnl-
ture decorating, or gardening, or book
keeping, nor does she go into her
fathers business and learn it as her
bI other would if she had one; bless

mani Thus out of this Amy OF work
| ing women are kept, so far as possible,
all women of education, means, retlne-
ment. cultured taste. These organized
into a society make no end of blunders
in business, and regard them as credit
able rather than otherwise, as Chinese
/ lady cherishes the defOrmity Of a
cramped foot. If they read common
law and medicine so as to be rs vel
informed on these points as ordinary
men, bless you, they are very odd,' a
the least. These good ladies with thu
very best intentions undertake to handl,
the working woman question I; they ar
, thrown into contact with the poor, ant
knowing absolutely nothing of what
is to earn living, or what it costs t

President Lincoln's Kindness of Heart.

striking incident in Mr.. Lincoln's
official life is related by Judge Brom-
well of Denver, who visited the White
House in March, 1865. Mr.. Seward and
several other gentlemen were also pres
ent, and the President gradually came
to talk on decisions of life and death.
All other matters submitted to him, he
declared, were nothing in comparison
to these, and he added 81 reckon there
never was man raised in the country
on farm, where they are always
butchering cattle and hogs and think
nothing of it, that ever grew up with
such an aversion to bloodshed as |
have; and yet I've had more questions
OF life and death to settle in four years
than all the men who ever sat in this
chair put together. But rve managed
to get along and do my duty, as be-
lleve, and still save most of them; and
there's no man knows the distress of nv
mind. But there have been some of
them l couldn't save-there are some
cases where the law must be executed.
There was that man -, who was sen-
fenced for piracy and slave-trading on
the high seas. That was a case where
there must be an example, and YOU do
not know how they followed and press
ed to get him pardoned or his sentence
committed; but it was no use of talk
ing. 1t had to be done 1 couldn't help
him and then there was that -. who
was caught spying and recruiting with

had come to point where something
must be done that would put stop to
such work. And then there was this
case of Beal, on the lakes. That was a
case where there must be an example.
They tried me every way. They would
not give up; but l had to stand firm on
that, and l even had to turn away
his poor sister when she came and
begged for his life and let him be exc
cuted, and | can't get the distress out
of my mind yet" AS the kindly mar
uttered these words the tears ran dowI
his checks, and the eyes of the men sur
rounding him moistened in sympathy
There was profound silence in whicl
they rose to depart. Three weeks afte
the President was killed.

churches known by that name. This
seems to be almost as much of truism
as it would be to affirm that it is Sin
consistent with honor and Christian
character" for man to claim perma-
nent denOminational fellowship as a
Baptist, after he has "repudiated" i'm
mersion as the only Scriptural form of
baptism, and believers as the only
proper recipients of the rite. .t
The attempt was made so to construe
the rejection of the amendment which
was offered by the opponents of the
resolution, as to make it appear that
the convention, in passing the resOlu-
ton, denied the Fright of appeal from
all human creeds to the Word of God"
1t clearly did no such thing. The COLI
cession of the fullest right of private
appeal from all creeds to the Word of
God, lies at the foundation of the whole
actiOn-nay, the whole being-of the
Convention and it was as needless to
ask it to stultify itself by passing such
vote, as it would have been to have
asked it to affirm the Inspiration of the
Bible, or the being of God. Or if the
real object of the amendment were to
drive hook upon which some ingen-
ious and unscrupulous person might,
by and by, hang the conclusion that if
any Vermont Congregational minister's
studies of the Bible, and of other things,
shall conduct him to the conclusion that
the Inspired Word does not teach the
evangelical doctrines, and should turn
his pulpit into rOstrum of free relig-
ion, he must "to the bitter end" be
regularly recognized as Congregation
al minister still the eighty-four breth-
ren who refused to walk into that trap
deserve general thanks for having theil
eyes open, and their heads level.
From the Advance Western organ of the Demon
inatiOn.
The resolution is well expressed, and
such a declaration is, in our judgment
altogether timely and appropriate.

Jokes from the Churches.

At Methodist conference meeting in
New York a man got up and said he
had long wished to speak, but his wife
would not let him. His wife had died,
however, and having his liberty at last,
he proposed to exercise it, In about
two minutes the entire conference wept
over the death of the lady as over the
loss of personal friend.
John Newton had varied and pecu-
liar personal experience. He was a
sailor, a soldier, slave, minister and
missionary. Talking one day with one
of those chronic grumblers that you will
find in every church complaining about
the imperfectiOns of others he remark
ed: "Well, Madame, if there were a
perfect church on earth, it would cease
being so the moment you and l enter
ed it," -....
An Old-fashiOned minister passing a
fashionable church, not long ago, on
which new spire was being erected,
was asked how much higher it was to
be. 'Not much," he answered that
congregation don't own much higher
in that direction" Too often the hight
of the steeple is the hight of the church's
ambition and all below it is the sheriff's
or creditors.
Old Phineas Rice was one of the
quaint types of itinerants. He had a
hard patch to cultivate once, and when
he made his report to the conference
following, he reported the church
Cooking up" The presiding bishop
expressed his pleasure, but asked for
an explanation, because no one expect
ed success in that parish. DR.. Rice was
equal to the occasion, and added,
"Well, Bishop, the church is on its
back and can't look any other way"
There was roar of laughter all over
the conference.

he commenced, and an hour passed ST.
lently away, when the book agent be-
gan to show signs of nervousness, which
were apparently unnoticed by the
broker, for he never took his eyes fro I'm
the volume, but read steadily on. Elev-
en- o'clock came, and the lady began to
walk smartly around the room, glanc
ing occasionally out of the windows.
At noon the broker was still reading,
and the agent wore decidedly troubled
countenance. A few minutes before l
o'clock the broker laid the book down,
leisurely donned his Overcoat and hat,
and remarked: ''.
"That is very good book. / am
sorry l cannot >read more of it, but |
am obliged to go to dinner. If you will

WILLING TO OBLIGE.-A very pre-
possessing young lady canvassing for a
popular book, stepped into the Office OF
a broker, and finding him apparently at
leisure, asked him to look at the book.
The gentleman informed her that it
would only be waste of time, as he
could not purchase it.
"Oh! never mind that" calculated
the vivacious young woman, ''it won't
cost anything to look at it, even if you
don't buy. should like to have you
read some portions of it, and see what
| it is" ..... ...:
The accommodating broker took the
volumne, and glancing at the title page
commenced perusal of the introduc.
ton. This finished, he began the frs
chapter, and read carefully and leisure
