Women and Theft.

Col: John W. Forney. who is one OF the mos
noted society men" in the country. must be
held responsible for a ventilation of the petty
fra1lt1es OF society women" in late number of
his paper. the Progress He says: women have
small faith in the honesty of women;
they Will tell you that at receptions
parties, and the like. small ornaments
are always carried of; that card and photo
graph albums Of reception room tables are
regularly plundered, and that artificial and
growing flowers are clipped and torn to pieces
II they stand anywhere within reach OF visitors.
1t is always women who are suspected of these
thefts. If women are right in their opinion of
women, and you look for the explanation,
do not think that you need look far. A
lady may do with impunity what a gentleman
would never dream of doing, and she
knows 1t. A man dare not gossip, for if he
does, and any one is injured thereby, pun
ishment is swift, sure, and severe. But to gossip
is the privilege of the lady, and she is never
called to account. So with this older and graver
sin: Suppose, for instance, it was positively
known that rich and arfstocratic dame had
deliberately stolen one Of those rings, what
would be the result? Nothing of course. The
affair would be hushed up. But suppose it was
gentleman; we'll he would be ruined forever
as much as If he was caught picking pocket in
a crowd

To stately editice.
he What church is ths
'Ah! just the place am looking for,
trust He is here to-day"
He passed through the spacious columned door
And up the carpeted aisle,
And as he passed on many face
He saw surprise and smile.
From pew to pew, up one entire side,
Then across the broad front space;
From pew to pew down the other side
He walked with the same slow pace.
Not friendly voice had bid him sit
To listen to gospel truth;
Not sign of Difference had been paid
To the aged one by youth.
No door was opened by generous hand,
The pews were paid for-rented,
And he was stranger, old and poor,
Not heart to him relented.
AS he paused moment outside to think,
Then passed into the street,
ZIP to his shoulder he lifted stone
that lay in the dust at his feet,
And bore it up the broad, grand aisle
In front Of the ranks of pews
Choosing place to see and hear,
He made a seat for his use.
Calmly sitting upon the huge stone,
Folding his hands on his knees,
Slowly reviewing the wershipers,
A great confusion he sees.
Many cheek is crimsoned with shame,
Some whisper together sore
Ard wish they had been more courteous
To the stranger, old and poor.
AS if by magic some fifty doors
Open in simultaneously,
And as many seals and books and hands
Are profiered hastily;
Changing his stone for crimsoned pew
And Wiping tear away,
He thinks it was mistake, after all.
And that Christ came late that day.
The preachers discourse was eloquent,
, he organ in finest tone,
But the est impressive sermon heard
Was preached by humble stone.
Twas lesson of lowliness and worth
That lodged in many heart,
And the church preserves that sacred stone,
That the truth may not depart.

Wedding Days

The wedding day may be the most eventtul
Gay in woman's life, but 1t Is not the hap
piest, though it is conventionally called so.
Nor is it the mans Both the chief parties TO
wedding cut rather awkward figures and play
difficult parts on the day when they are made
one In the presence Of a great co1c0urse no, OF
only brides who can really enjoy wedding
day are those who do not much care for their
bridegrooms or who have struggled towards
their Te dher daT nfo seen Mdch pona
triumphs. In humber life, when girl mar
rtes man who is her superior in station she
must experience moment OF exquisite delight
when her union is cOnSecrated amid circle of
envious friends. But to ordinary couples who
love each other, and whose match is so well as
serted In respect Of age, station and fortune
certainly tiresome one. The two young
people fare impatient to be united, and they
glory tn the day which Is to make them man
and wife; but all the fOrmalitieS of nuptials
seem to them most tedious. The bride expec-
tant rises in the morning, unrefreshed by
sleeplesS night and nervous in anticipation of

rectly speaking, man has no rights over his
bride till the wedding service is over, and con-

grooms settle the difficulty by a compromise.
and kiss their brides on the hands. Lucky the
bridegrooms who can laugh O, wedding day.
The worst of dismal bride-gr ON is that his
glum looks may work upon his brides nerves
and make her cry. There are brides who feel
called upon to sob in church, at the breakfast
and again at the hour OF departing. Anything
is better than this. The bridegroom cuts
most miserable figure when he IS made to ap
pear as brute who is carrying Off an imp'es
sionable maiden against her WILL and the bride
herself does not shine out to her greatest ad-
vantage when she lapses into the melting
mood several times over in one day. Some
tears are, of course, excusable, and one honest,
unprecedented outburst at the moment when
the newly-wedded wife leaves the home where
she has been so happy is but proof of good
heartedness, which the bridegroom should note
as a glad augury, seeing that cold-hearted
girls do not, as rule, make warmly attached

bridegroom who strikes the keynote of the pre-

OF years, and, DESTROYS to leave none of his
wealth unenjoyed, he made nice calculation
OF his fortune, which he so apportioned for

his life Curious enough, it so happened that
his calculations did not deceive him, for he
died exactly at the time he had previously
reckoned, and had then so far exhausted his
estate that, after paying his debts, there was
nothing left but pair OF slippers. His rela-

Land Tenure In ireland.

The farmers of Ireland, as a rule, hold
their farms not under lease, but at the will
Of the owner. They may be turned out at
once for delay in paying rent, and get very
little if any satisfaction for the improve
ments they may have made, or for unex-
hausted manures they they have put upon
the fields. These grievances have given
rise to the tenant-right" movement in
that country; and this has grown, in despair
at any relief from the British parliament,
into the "home-rule party, which aims at
a separate legislature for Ireland. Mr.. Par
nell, who is now lecturing and collecting
money in this country, is one of the leaders
of the home-rulers." He narrates the suf-
fering and starvation existing amongst the
" ten acre farmers and the farm laborers,
in consequence of the failure of last years
I crops, and takes up collection for their re-
lief. He also takes up another collection,
to be appropriated to the promotion of
"home-rule," which Mr.. Parnell thinks is
the only preventive for the recurrence of
such distress whenever the season is unfa-
vorable to the crops. 1t is thought that the
success of the home-rulers will secure a
change in the tenure Of land, and that this
will in time, and without injury to any law
full rights, end in general distribution of
the soil among the farmers. The aristoc.
racy OF England and Ireland are Of course
bitterly opposed to such plans, and Mr.. Par
nell, though gentleman of education and
high character, is regarded and treated
there much as the Californian Kearney il
on this side of the Atlantic A fact of very
painful significance is to be noted in the
cool reception which Mr.. Parnell's "home
rule doctrines receive from most Of the
city newspapers where he has spoken since
his arrival in America. Thirty years age
he would have met nothing but sympathy
as Kossuth did. But the growth Of aristo
cratic ideas has been very rapid in Americs
since then. The New York Times has an
nounced its belief than tenant farming il
preferable TO ownership Of the land by III
tillers and the press and influential pub
lie of all our great cities are tending in tn
same direction. The disposition of GU
farmers to buy more land than they can pa,
t, for, or have the means TO properly till, i
helping forward these views.
