A LITERARY FEAST
The Prize Contest a. the Normal

The Prize Contest at the Normal.
Notwithstanding the night was lower
ing overhead and villainously muddy
underfOot, the assembly room was well
filled Wednesday evening to hear the es-
says and declarations given by the
Normal's best talent.
The feast was opened by Professor
Sadler who said the desire of the facul-
ty was to improve public speaking in
the students; that the contestants had
been chosen by the faculty from twice
their number which had been selected
by the school, and he asked the indul-
gence of the audience from the fact that
the contestants had had but two weeks
in which to prepare.
BY request, the Elstun Bros. gave an
instrumental duet which was highly
| commendable.
Miss Florence Bacon held the audi
ence spell-bound in the rendition of
"One Niche the Highest, and, although
she hardly did herself justice at the
outset, she soon gained better control of
herself and held to viewa scene in Vir-
ginia with vivIdness quite impressive.
The essay by Miss Lena Cause was
really fine, and we'll appreciated, especi-
ally by the ladies, and not few smiled
condescendingly or perhaps pityingly at
your humble servant because he was only
a man.
L. A. Wright deserves commendation
for his defamation of "Old Iron Sides"
Miss Lulu Holmes, from "Gold Lies
Deep in the Mountains" gave US some
beautiful thoughts. She drew from dig
ging and delving after gold in the mount
aims a parallel of searching deep for
thought which is better than fine gold
"Christmas al the Quarters" was very
gracefully delivered by Miss Jennie
Conner. We imagined the Normal a
scene of gayety and good cheer very
easily.
We next listened to the essay entitled
intellectual Advancement" by Mr..
Beaumont, which took the prize,
Knights History of England. Further
comment is unnecessary.
The defamation by Mr.. Miller, "Wax
Works." was we'll received by the aud
fence, and that means that it was good.
"Who Will VIM by Miss Alice
Overstreet, was an essay of deep thought
and fine sentiment. 1t contained this
| apt passage: an the contest tonight
there are two victories to be won. They
are vIctors who win the prizes offered
for superior talent displayed. and they,
also, are victOrs who accept most grace
fully their defeat, and in contemplating
their own deficiencies bear no Ill-will to
the other victors.

Our Wives.

A young woman during the first
week of her married life entertains
vague suspicious that the statements
of older wives, that the way to a
mans heart is through his mouth,
are true. Her Charles, who is al
most if not quite, exempt from
human failings, has already man.
ifested a profound admiration for
veal pies, and has openly expressed
his detestation to overdone mutton.
She accordingly builds up within
her fortress of resolution, in which
to guard that sacred treasure of
husbands affection. In her girl
hood this young woman had spent
much time in cultivating her mus
ical taste, in reading Emerson and
Carlyle; she had been heard to de-
clare with pride that when she mar
ried she would give up none of
these things.
Let us visit her now, at the end of
ten years of matrimony, and we will
find that she has broken her VOW
and thrown it to the winds. We
find a tiresome sort of person, whose
whole intellect is absorbed in at
tending to the cares of house-keep-
ing, and in getting stylish dresses
for her children. Her conversation
rises seldom above the level of finfant
gossip and servants, and the only
ideas developed by time and ex-
perience are expressed in her con-
viction that men are the most un-
reasonable and selfish of creatures,
and women the most abused and
self-sacrificing.
There is a great evil somewhere,
but what is it? The husband ac-
knowledges to himself that he is
disappointed in the wife he has
chosen, and yet he finds difficulty in
pointing out his mistake, and hardly
finds cause to blame her, for is she
not faithful wife, devoted mother
and a most frugal manager? The
mistake is a national characteristic.
So passionate and intense is the
American mind in pursuit of its
temporary interests, the men will
suffer the chains of business to bind
them down and throttle them, Will

their wives bend beneath a similar
yoke OF duty at home.
What is lacking is the power to
rise above the petty snnoyances of
daily life; we need TO learn to dis
tiuguish trifles from affairs of mo-
ment, to know that every mole-hill
is not a mountain. We need not
forsake the upper strata of ofsentiment,
thought and ideality-the atmos-
phere of the soul-bccause we know
that there is a lower one of routine
and small vexations, in which our
feet are told to tread. To breathe in
the one is to receive strength and
refreshment for exertion i'm the
other. 1t is a good plan to pick up
needles and pins from the floor, but
picking pins ought not to be made the
chief object of existence; for if we
move along with our heads con-
stantly downward we most assuredly
will set nothing better than pins and
needles to the end of our days.

power of harm, not by the power of
personal force, but by the compell-
ing force of the better part of mans
nature to respect aud reverence her.
And rs woman's sphere increases,
the taunts of vice and places of re-
sort which il is not now considered
proper for her to enter (even in
scare b of loved one) will diminish,
until there shall be no place where a
man may not, with propriety, take
his wife, sister or daughter.
Does any one exclaim against such
a state of affairs?
Well, on what ground do you OBJ
jecti Is man, by nature, so deprav-
ed II at only q portion of his time is
proper to be spent in the society of
ladies? Certainly not. The condi-
tions which have established this
state of affairs have arisen in conse-
quence of q wrong education. l
refer to the general education Of old
prac ices and laws whereby woman
has been kept at home while her
sons were being ruined abroad.
Tie proof of the fact that man is
better for being in the society of the
good and true at home is, that the
best and noblest of men are the ones
who have spent most time In the
society of, and hearkened to the
couI sells of, their mothers. History
will bear me out in this assertion.
And if some families are capable of
proc ucing such good results by
equs lizing the pursuits of knowledge
and happiness among its members,
both male and female, why can il
not be attained to in all others by
doirg away with the petty tyran-
nies which make woman an inferior
in the minds of sons and husbands ?
And we who know what woman
may do, if she have the legal right,
is it, we ask, just aud right for US to
refuse TO help those who need help
to rise to higher life?
We know that so long as a vestige
of he old relic of barbarism re-
mains, which makes man more
powerful, in the eyes of the law,
thar woman, so long there will be
bruies Gin the form of men) who
will! exercise their control over the
lives and happiness of those depend
ent upon them, and it is also well
known that the most wretched con-
ditions of life are produced under
syst I'm of servile bondage, either of
bod ! or mind, and this phase of life
is re peating itself daily in our large
cities, and we need not look far to
see The effect upon our lesser COM
nun tiles. Now let freedom of
thought aud action take the place OF
fear and despair, and note the result.
We need not fear the revolution
which will follow. The separate
portions of right and wrong will
adj st themselves more quietly than
might be supposed. The right gain
ing strength till wrong shall no
longer bear rule, having no one to
adn mister it.
This is not visionary sketch, il is
only carrying out the idea of living
''FO' the right, that needs sssistca nee,
For the wrong, that needs resistance,
For all human ties that bind us,
For the tasks by God assigned us,
AnJ the good that we can do"
