The Gain Of a Loss.

The following circumstance actually
occurred in Dublin short time back.
Mr. l. was much attached to Miss
c., the young, beautiful, and accom-
plished heiress to property of some
ELS, 900 per annum; but, being himself
lord of no other earthly possessions than
talents and good looks, he "never told
his love-" fearful not only of refusal ON
the part OF the lady to reciprocate the
sentiment, but of the probable imputa-
ton of mercenary motives by her friends.
Miss c., however, had sufficient pene-
tration to discover the genuine and dis
interested affection of the swain, and the
highly praiseworthy sensitiveness which
caused him to shrink from its avowal.
She was by no means indisposed to en-
courage his suit, but the consciousness
of his comparative poverty rendered
more than the ordinary announcement
given by lady to her sutton necessary
to stimulate his courage to PROFOUND the
decisive inquiry. How was she, then, to
give expression to her sentiments re-
garding him, without at the same time
overstepping the bounds of maiden
modesty." She proposed game at
cards.
"For what stakes shall we play?"
asked Mr.. L..
"Theres my stake" said the lady,
throwing down a sovereign; eff you win,
you win tiff Twin, 1 win yourself. 1
am aware have no chance of winning.
though, against so expert player as
you."
Mr.. IL was, indeed, about the best
player in Dublin, while his fair antagon-
ist knew little or nothing of the game.
Strange to say, however. on this occasion
his luck deserted him. The poor gentle
man was so unfortunate as to lose both
the game and himself-and won the
heiress! Their marriage was celebrated
at st. St Peters.

Women In the Professions.

Many of the law and medical schools
OF the United States are open to women
on the same terms rs to men, and at the
majority of 126 theological seminaries,
exclusive of the Roman Catholic, oppor-
tunities of study similar TO those enjoyed
by the young men are afforded them,
though they may be neither matricu-
lated nor receive degree. The
numberof women practicing law
is far greater in the Western
States than in the Eastern, and large
proportion Of the schools, especially Of
those connected with the State Univer-
stiles, are free to them.
OF the three law schools in New En-
gland, only one is open to both sexes
that of the Boston University. The
school has, however, / am informed, not
yet graduated o woman. The women
OF the East who desire to read Kent and
to learn forms of procedure prefer to
obtain a. legal education in the more
private advantages of lawyers Office.
In the chaotic state of ecclesiastical
opinion regarding women's preaching,
but few have been admitted either to the
pulpit or to the theological seminary.
Although the number has greatly in
creased in the last decade, in 1870, Of
Az, S74 clergymen, only sixty-seven were
women. The Methodist and Universal
list churches have probably proved more
cordial in granting clerical privileges to
women than the churches of other lead
ing denominations.
To the practice of medicine q larger
number of women turn than enter both
the Legal profession and the clerical.
The first medical school for women
ever established-the Female Medical
Educational Society-was organized in
Boston in November, 1S48. For thirty
years, in both Europe and the United
States, measures for giving women
thorough training in medicine have been
pushed very vigorously. At times the
contest between those favoring and those
opposing their practice of the healing
art has been waged with the bitterness
of the anti-slavery struggle. The gen.
eral result, however, has been a victory
for the women. In Europe there are no
less than twenty-five schools Of high
standing, in which they can receive a
medical education, the large majority OF
which have been either opened to them
or established within the last ten years.
In India, 100000 of whose women
are forbidden by social custom from re-
ceiving the attendance of male physi-
clans at their homes, several schools
have been formed since 1857 for afford
ing women the opportunity of obtaining
a regular medical training. OF the
eighty eight medical schools in the Uni
ted States a considerable proportion adj
NIT women ON the same terms ~ men.
According to the census of 1870 there
were in the United States 62,3S3 physi-
clans and surgeons, of whom 525 were
women.-G n. 7Ysioiag, IN Harper's

THOMAS MoGovERN, of Chicago, paid
the most foolish election bet OF the year.
He stipulated with George Clock. Chi
eago grocer, that the one who should be
on the losing side in the Presidential
election should accord the other the
privilege of dressing him mp in imitation
of monkey and leading him around the
streets for an hour to the tune OF a
hand-organ, the organ to be played by
the representative of the successful
party. McGovern, the Hancock better,
held out for some time that his candidate
was elected, but he finally gave in and
agreed to liquidate the wager in the
manner stipulated. Clock rented a
hand-organ and rugged his friend out in
q masquerade costume, as nearly like a
simian as possible, and the twain began
their march. McGovern, in his gro
tesque attire, with A caudal continual
ton that would have been the envy of n
real ape, and a monkey-faced mask,
created great sensation. There was q
haturalness about his movements, rs he
gamboled about the sidewalk and
climbed the steps in front of dwellings,
that suggested the genuine baboon.
The exhibition attracted hundreds of
children, who followed the winner and
Lis victim around until the end, making
a great connection.

Screaming Women.


The woman who screams ut every
thing, from a mouse to a COW, is of little
practical use. How will the wife who
her husband is brought home with O
broken leg, her child has fit, the fam
lily fortunes go to sudden ruin, the house
catches fire, the ceilings fall in, the
pipes burst, and, to use Shakspeare's
expression, call is in extremity?" The
little scream, so feminine, and to some
ears so appropriate in the days OF white
muslin gowns, dainty little hats, and
rosebud cheeks, always blushing, will
have a very different sound for the har-
assed man of business, the long suffering
husband, the anxious father he will
look with envy on those happy fellows
who possess wives who do not scream.
Properly considered, this question of
screaming should have great weight in q
mans choice of a partner for life. The
little scream is invaluable as an index
of character. No really well-bred woman
would dream of screaming at COW any
more than OF losing her temper with
careless servants before company. She
has been taught self-possession under
emergencies as duty owed to society,
and it becomes matter Of course. A
man, therefore, in choosing wife,
should ask himself whether such a
calm, dignifed bearing, presence of
mind, and a reluctance to infict dis
comfort on others, are not qualities that
outlive mere beauty. Partly, therefore,
to vulgarity, and also partly to vanity,
must the scream be attributed. There
are girls 80 heeplessly addicted to self
adulation, women 30 morbidly anxious
for notice. that they will do anything
short Of committing murder in order to
attract attention. What they cannot
effect by good looks, spirit, or even an
attractive appearance, they contrive by
the scream. A scream CRATES q scream
is odious scream has no meaning, but
it makes the bystander stare it swakens
a spurious sympathy for the moment.
All we can say is that, all things con-
sidered, the man who marries woman
who screams deserves the misery which
is in store for him.

A NICE little romance appears in the
columns of the Springfield Republican.
One of the rosiest maidens in that city,
while hurrying to the depot to take a
train, tripped, and so gracefully recov-
cred herself as to win the admiration of
very substantial-looking old gentle
man. He assisted the young woman on
the train and to seat beside himself.
Conversation flowed pleasantly and ac-
quaintance ripened fast. On parting at
station not many miles west of the
city, the couple exchanged addresses.
The old gentleman proved to be wealthy
Chicago merchant, who opened CORE
spondence with the heroine. She APP
parently wrote as agreeably as she
talked. Letters winged their way be-
tween the city by river and the city on
the lake. Then came a proposition
not of marriage, but that the worthy
son of the susceptible parent be admit
ted to the correspondence. The father
gradually drew out of the field, and the
son more than made his place good
Then came an offer of marriage. 1t
was accepted. Three souls are happy, a
brilliant wedding and luxurious home
are in prospect, and the railroad officials
have been greatly puzzled of late by the
number of Springfield girls who are
stumbling, with more or less grace,
aboard trains bound for the great and
glorious West.

other things, that the army be increased to
10000 enlisted men, and says that he agrees
with Gen Sheridan in saying that the present
army is overworked he favors providing suit
able ornaments for the forts which guard tho
chief harbors of the country, and thinks that
IL view of the extension Of railroads in the
Western States and Territories. particularly
the completion Of the Pacific roads, many OF
the minor posts in these regions might
be abandoned, and recommends that the
soldiers be concentrated at strategic points
along the national frontier, and at points where
railroads intersect, 80 that they could be moved
to threatened points at the shortest notice.
He recommends the abandonment OF small
seacoast forts, and the establishment of strong
garrisons at Portland, Boston, Newport, New
York, Port Royal, Key West, San Diego. San
Francisco, Port Townsend, Philadelphia, Hamp-
ton Roads and Pensacola. Gen. Sherman has

Physical Endurance Of Women.

done by ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and frail
women, who at the same time keep up
with events of the day, have well-culti-

who do their own work, take care of n
large family, and at the same time Guilt
