The following is an extract from an
address by prominent missionary from
India
"The girls are married at the age OF
five and six, never later than ten, on ac-
count of the believed effect that such
misfortune would have on her ancestors.
She is put into box. which Is closed
up like coffin and covered with deco
rated cloth, and in this shape taken to
the husbands house, where she is de-
posted and left for the rest of her life,
never TO go out save on the occasion OF
exceptional and rare visits to her mother.
In the high caste houses the outer
court. around which are the mems
apartments, luxuriously furnished, is
reached by an underground passage A
passage leads from this to the inner
court about which are the wives rooms
or cells. The walls and floor inside are
of brick there is no bed, no chair and
no furniture but sort of desk and box
in which the occupants clothes are kept.
They are never taught to read or write,
and | suppose that when | went there
first not one in eighty thousand could
this inner court. They are marvelously
beautiful, however, both men and
women, as race, despite the hard lot
of the wives. Each lady has her own
brick-foored cell, and sleeps on a strip
of mating. The widows are far worse
off, however. They can never marry
again; can eat only one meal day, OF
rice; are debarred by superstitious GUS
tom from receiving any help or any
word of love or mercy; are compelled
to wear their hair hanging loose, un-
cleansed and unbraided, and cannot
speak in the presence of their mother
| in-law or sister-in-law without permis-
sion. Every three weeks they have a
twenty four hours fast. | saw one little
girl. a child who was. burning up with
fever, and whose tongue, black and
swollen, was protruding from her parch-
ed lips. | asked her if she wanted
water. and she signified feebly that she
| did. / told the women to get her some,
but they refused, saying that she was
widow and it was wrong. She had had
l.no water for three days, but they would
not let me give her any on the plea tnat
was polluted foreigner, and such an
act would break her caste and that oil
the whole house. She died IN great
agony the next day"

A TERRIBLE SroRY.-The Oakland, Cal. =,
Times, tells horrible story of woman
in that section. She was paralyzed and
on application of her husband was taken
to the county hospital. A few days after
the husband went TO see ner and found
her in the hospital, In a room with three
other patients. He saws; They told me
it was no place TO leave her, because she
had paralysis and there was no one TO
help her. They simply left the food by
her and went away. l returned to the
oyster beds, and q week ago last Saturday
my wife's brother, who had been TO the
hospital, wrote me letter from San
Francisco, where he lives, saying my
wife was sick, and urged me to come and
go and see her. l went and found her
dead. The women told me to pull off
her stockings, and see where the rats
had gnawed her feet while she was alive.
/ pulled off the stockings and saw that
the flesh was eaten off her feet into the
bone. The rats had eaten her flesh while
she was alive, because the blood was all
over her feet. She cried and screamed,
they said. when the rats were gnawing
her feet. 1t was holy terror to see how
that woman suffered. 1t would soften
the heart of stone TO look at her.
never saw such horrible thing before
pray to God / may never look upoe
such thing again. never knew them
was such a thing in this country.

"rhe Joy of Incompleteness.

II all our life were one broad glare
OF sunlight, clear, unclouded
If all our path were smooth and fair,
BY no deep gloom enshrouded;
II all lfe's flowers were fully blown
without the slow unfolding,
And happiness mayhap were thrown
On hands too weak for holding;
Then we should miss the twilight hours,
The intermingling sadness,
And pray, perhaps, for storms and showers
To break the constant gladness.
If none were sick, and none were sad,
What service could we render?
| think if we were always glad,
We hardly could be tender.
Did our beloved never need
Our loving ministration,
Life would grow cold, and miss indeed
Its finest consolation.
If sorrow never smote thelheart,
And every wish was granted,
Then faith would die, and hope depart,
And life be disenchanted;
And, If in heaven is no more night,
In heaven no more sorrow,
Such unimagined, pure delight
Fresh grace from pain will borrow.
The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1880-10-29

On the jefferson avenue line recently
woman of fifty, made mp to look about
twenty-five years old, got aboard at a
crossing TO find every seat occupied. She
stood for moment, and then selecting a
poory-dressed man about forty-five years
of age, she observed:
"Are there no gentlemen on this car?''
"Indeed, dunno" he replied. as he
looked up and down. "lf there hain't,
and you are going clear through, I'll hunt
up one for you at the end of the line ~
There was an e oara,sing silence for
moment, and then light broke in on
him all of sudden. aud he rose and
said:
'You can have this seat, madam
am alus perfectly willing to sand up
and give my seat to anybody older than
myself"
That decided her She gave him a
look which he will not forget to his dy-
ing day, and grabbing the strap she re-
fused to sit down, even when five seats
had become vacant Detroit Free Press.

If I Gould Keep Her So.

just little baby, lying In my arms
Would that l could keep you with your babl
charms;
Helpless, clinging fingers, downy, golden hair,
Where the Sunshine fingers, caught from other
Blue eyes asking questions, lips that cannot speak
Roly-poly shoulders, dimples on your cheek
Dainty little blossom IN world OF woe.
Roquish little damsel, scarcely six years old
Feet that never weary hair of deeper gold
Restless, busy fingers all the time at play,
Tongue that never ceases talking all the day;
Blue eyes learning wonders OF the world about,
Here you come to tell me-what an eager shout !
WinsOme little damsel, all the neighbors know;
Thus long to keep you, for love you So
Sober little gchool-girl, with your strap of books,
And such grave Importance IN your puzzled looks
Solving weary problems, poring over sums,
Yet with tooth FOR sponge cake and for sugar Plum
Reading books of romance in your bed at night,
Waking up to study with the morning ngnt;
Anxious as to ribbons, deft to tie bow,
Full of contradictions would keep you so.
Sweet and thoughtful maiden, sitting by my sue,
All the worlds before you, and the world IS wlue
Hearts are there for winning, hearts are there 10
break,
lIas your own, shylnaiden, just begun to- wake?
rs that rose of dawning glowing on your cheek
Telling us In bushes what you Will not speak?
LShy and tender maiden, would fain forego
All the golden future, just to keep you So
All ! the listening angels saw that she was fair,
Ripe for rare unfolding in the upper air;
Now the rose of dawning turns to lily white,
And the close-shut Yields vellthe eyes from sight
All the past summon as | kiss her brow
Babe and child and maiden, are all with me now.
Oh my heart is breaking but Gods love know
Safe among the angels, He will keep her so.
