his American patrons. No one has ever

A Cold Bath in Winter.

The season of the year when many
people who have experienced pleasure
and advantage from daily cold bath
have to discontinue the practice, is
como Months will elapse before the
return of GENIAL weather will allow of
their indulgence in what may be termed
mans natural stimulant. Amongst the
young and robust there are large
number who are able to battle even in
the depths of winter; the advantage of
so doing is, however, questionable
But let it be once well understood what
a cold bath really is, and the course by
which they can avoid Scylla and
Charybdis will be obvious.
A cold bath is not necessarily a bath
in water of the temperature of the at
mosphere. A bath is truly and really
cold when it produces certain physiolog-
zeal effects "a slight mOmentary shock
followed by pleasant and lasting reac-
ton. The effects are for a majority of
people most pleasantly obtained by
bathing in water about 30 to 40 degrees
below the temperature of the body-the
usual temperature of unheated water
in June or July. Bearing this in mind.
people can enjoy their physiological
''cold'' bath as safely and pleasantly at
Christmas as at midsummer, and there
is no necessity for the most timid or
weakly to discontinue his morning bath
because the summer weather is over
When the water sinks below temporal
ture of 90 degrees, let it be heated to
that point, and then used, and there
will still be cold bath, though OF
heated water.
The daily stimulant effect of such
bath is so beneficial to the great major
ity of persons, and is of such marked
service in maintaining health, that it is
important to have it widely known that
a cold bath may be taken all the year
round, provided cold Is not mistaken to
mean lat the temperature of the air"
To heat the bath during the winter
months is too often thought to be I'M
manly, while in reality it is truly scien-
tific, and to battle in unheated water all
the year round, whatever the temporal
ture of that water may be, is to prove
ones self an ignorant slave of outward
circumstances.

Mary WOllstOnecraft.

Geo e WOODBURY. II AtIantlc-
A liberal woman who speaks out her
whole mind is nearly certain to give Of
Tense; for liberality implies a DISPOSE
ton to tolerate condemned views and to
introduce new practices, both of them
actions inconsistent with that bearing
which the ordinary man admires in
woman. For this reason Mary Woll-
stonecraft gave offense in her own day
by originating and advocating opinions
which are now so familiar that we for
get they ever were original, and can
hardly believe there was ever any ne
cessity for advocating them. Her work
and life, therefore, are tide mark of
opinion, and are valuable on that ac-
count, even if they possess no other vir-
tue for us; they reveal the great ebb of
convention and prejudice in our centu-
ry; the advance our time has made in
lines of civilization more important
than material progress-in the ideal of
life, and the opportunities granted by
legislation and public opinion. for the
attainment of that ideal. The causes
which she served are now living, and
many of them are advanced in victory
probably beyond her hope; the abuses
she denounced are dead or languishing.
There is only one act of hers which will
meet with universal blame, and that
was an error in conduct for which her
early experience and the support of
contemporary speculation plead forci-
bly,. The race has found the institution
of marriage too essential to social safety
to allow any attack upon it TO pass I'M
questioned. She, by her conduct if not
by her pen, set herself against this, and
was consequently overbOrne and tram
pied down. her name Slandered, and the
virtue that was in her lost sight of; for.
in such cases, the ordinary man is in
capable of discriminating between acts
which result from defective theories and
those which result from moral dearavitv
rooted in RIGHTEOUSNESS and senSualtv.
Excepting this error, it would be diff
cult to find in her life anything more
blameworthy than rational and active
liberalism.
Posterity has passed her by, for she
performed no notable act and produced
no great literary work. She exercised
only contemporary influence q find.
however, an unknown authority assert
ing that she exercised direct and DOW
erful influence upon Englishwomen,
particularly in the provinces, for fifty
years.; but, like the character of for
gotten ancestors shaping in some de-
gree our own acts and thoughts. her
work lives in the great body of public

G. z. r. James, whose novels were at
one time enjoying a very large circula-
ton. One day called upon him, as we
had agreed to go out somewhere togeth-
er. found him dolefully seated over a
manuscript. He was not writing, but
he was gazing AT it with melancholy de-
spair. thought that lie was ill, and
ked him whether this was the case.
No, he said, he was physically well.
What, then, was the matter with him?
l anxiously enquired. 1T is my hero

opinion, which in respect to the themes
she treated is so much more elevated
and pure than it was a century ago.
She lies among the undistinguished
dead but it is a grateful task to recall
the names of those who have contribu-
ted to make human life more clean and
more beneficent.
The circumstances of her life and the
character of her opinions it is easy to
tell; but there is comparatively no re-
cord of the woman whose feminine
charm and beauty are lost to memory,
except so far as the applause of her
friends and the loneliness of her pOr-
traits reveal them. In one of these
portraits there is a peculiar charm of
expression, at once dignity and pa
thos, that stirs compassion in the heart.
Looking upon it, it is easy to believe
that she was courageous, enduring, and
loving in life. as well as original, liber-
al, and fearless in thought; that she
united the charities of daily ministry to
her friends with the graees of mind
cultivated by literature and acquainted
with philosophy; that she was as open
to human emotion and sympathy as to
the loneliness of nature, her Joy in
which, before the days of Burns and
Wordsworth, was her refuge and com
fort; that in her struggle with life she
neither lost nor harmed the most ad-
mirable quantities of wOmanhOOd.
am tempted to link her name with that
of George Sand; in many ways she sug-
geSts the great Frenchwoman; vast as
was the difference in their genius, they
belong to the same order of women.
Her name, nevertheless, which seems to
me the name of the worthiest English
woman in literature up to her time, will
remain obscure; and the last memory of
her will be, that over her grave in old
st. Pancras church-yard Shelley wooea

she died.

Childreu's Labor in Massachusetts
Factories,

Emma z. Brown. IN December Atlantic.
A truant officer who visited some
thirty factories in and about Boston re
ports that he found in every one of them
children kept at work in open violation
of the law. Systematic investigation
has shown that OF the Is. 600 children
employed in various factories through
out the state in 1873 only 4575 received
the legal amount of schooling; and that
among the 2S2, 4S5 children in Massa-
chuSetts between the ayes of five and
fifteen there are no less than D. 900 chill
dTen who have never been present in
either our public or private schools.
An overseer in one of the print works
in the state SAYS: There seems to be "a
growing disposition on the part of par
ents to put their children to work before
they are of the legal age, and to avoid
sending them to school the length OF
time required by law. Scarcely day
passes but mothers come to the mills
and BEG us to use our influence in pro-
curing employment for their children"

study. ''Can it be normal state of

economist, ''when children of eleven
years are reckoned among the bread
winners of a state?'

Float up from the languid south,
And kiss the blossoms adjoining,
The earth with your scented mouth;
Caress with your tender fingers
The bed where the lilies sleep:
Sigh where the violet fingers
And the sad-eyed pansies weep;
Awaken the rose from its dreaming,
Playw tn the daffodil's hair;
Fit where in dew-drops streaming
The ssar-crowned daisies stare.
o breath of the breezy cleaning!
Sweep from the eastern sky
The clouds that the night in her roaming,
Hath let DER the rivers lie;
Snat h from her shsdowy garments
The glories of purple and red
Scatter them over the mountains,
To tell us the night hath fled,
o breeze of the dawning tenderi
Call up from its dreamless rest,
With your tale of the mornings splendor,
Each bird from its messy nest.
Fill up the woodlands and meadows
With the music Of swallow and thrush;
Sweep the gray mists from the valleys;
Loosen the streams with a rush.
Then beckon with loving fingers,
Obreath of ne summer sweet!
To the dawn that so coyly fingers
Der the mountains with laggard feet,

To brighten the waiting world;
