The Difference.

The male and female clerks in Wash
ington are thus contrasted: It is COM
mon enough to see male clerk saunter-
ing through the corridors during Office
hours, alone and unattended, but fe-
male clerk never. They always are
found in pairs. When female clerk
wants to leave her desk and go out into
the corridors, similar desire is sure to
seize another female clerk, and they go
out together. There has never been a
case recorded where female clerk has
left her work during offce-hours and ap-
peared in the corridors alone. There are
always two of them, generally with arms
twined afectionately, and, at the same
time, gracefully, about each other, slowly
pacing the corridors. This fact is sin
gular, and may be important. There
may be scientific, perhaps psyche
logical, reason for this phenomenon. 1t
can't be because Of their social natures,
fer when they leave the departments for
their homes this dual condition Of affairs
no longer exists. They go along the
streets alone, but in the corridors of the
department they are found in pairs.
This phenomenon is an interesting one,
and should be investigated, and no
doubt rich results would be obtained
and much light thrown on the vexed
problem of the female nature.

Woman, Wife, Mother.

Great, indeed, is the task assigned to
woman. Who can elevate its dignity :?
Not to make laws, not to lead armies,
not to govern enterprises, but to form
those by whom laws are made, armies
are led, empires are governed. To guard
against the slightest faint Of bodily in
trinity the frail yet spotless creature
whose moral no less than physical being
must be derived from her to inspire
those principles, to inclucate those
doctrines, to animate those sentiments
which generations yet unborn and ma
tons yet uncivilized shall learn to bless;
to soften frmness into mercy, and
chasten honor into refinement; to exalt
generosity into virtue, and by soothing
care to alay the anguish of the mind
by her tenderness to disarm passion
by her purity to triumph over sense to
cheer the scholar sinking under his toll ;
to be compensation for friends that are
perfdious for happiness that has
passed away; such is her vocation. The
couch Of the tortured sufferer, the prison
of the deserted friend, the cross of the
rejected Savior-these are the theaters
in which her greatest triumphs have
been achieved. Such is her destiny; to
visit the forsaken to attend the neg
lected when monarchs abandon, when
counselors betray; when justice prose-
cutes, when brethren and disciples flee,
to remain mistaken and unchanged, and
to exhibit in this lower world type Of
that love pure, constant and ineAable,
which in another world we are taught to
believe is test of virtue. Bl0ckaUo06'S

After months of earnest and somewhat
thorough research we have amassed
a surprising amount of facts.
which prove beyond all possible doubt
First, that philanthropic endeavor on
the part Of woman renders her more
royal and helpful in her own home, and,
second, that almost every woman who
has achieved national or worldwide
fame as tr.e mother has not lived a
secluded, domestic Life.
L make this assertion now without the
slightest reservation, because I have o
wealth Of evidence, In well-authenticated
facts.
Passing by hundreds of illustrious ex-
amples, let me call your attention to the
model mother, the pet of masculine ora
tors, the typical woman, the great model
ever set before the imagination Of girl.

the Gracchi.

fiend-honest confession. now-didn't
you suppose that COrnella was a sweet
household divinity, somewhat majestic
to be sure, but, nevertheless, a woman
with no thought of mission other than
to her own children2
Well, then, remember that Cornelia,
the mother Of the Gracchi, was a thor
oughly-educated, philanthropic, strong
minded, eloquent woman. who gave rub
lie lectures on philosophy in Rome, and
was even more fortunate in her disciples
than in her SONS. Cicero says "Cor-
nelia, had she not been a woman, would
have deserved the first place among
philosophers" We say had she not
been wise philosopher she could ne
have been so royal q mother. It re-
quires rare combination of intellect
and heart to be wise mother.
Mrs. Hale, in her carefully-prepared
biographical sketch of Cornelia, says
" The whole life of Cornelia presents a
beautiful character. And from the
facts which are in our possession we
draw these differences
l. Cornelia must have been educated
in very superior manner by her father,
for in no other manner can we account
for her knowledge.and love of literature (;
nor for the fact that while yet young
she was regarded as worthy the most
virtuous and noble men of Rome.

Can You See the acatchp in This,

The following is a barefaced
story of how a Dublin cham
bermaid got twelve commercial
travellers into eleven bedrooms.
Nov she says, "If two of
you gentleman will go into No
I bedroom and wait there few
minutes, I'll find spare room
for one of you as soon as I've
shown the others to their room.
Well, now, having bestowed
two gentlemen in No. 1, she
put the third in No. 2, the fourth
in No. 3, the fifth in number q,
the sixth in No, 5, the seventh
in No, 6, the eighth in No. 7,
the ninth in No. 8, the tenth in
No. 9, the eleventh in No. 10.
She came to No. where, you
will remember, she had lift the
twelve gentleman along with
the first, and said: 1--WE now
accommodated all the rest, and
still have a room to spare; so if
one Of you will please step into
No. II you will find it empty"
Thus the twelfth man got his

MISSING.

One little boy is missing
From the village green Tonight;
One voice Of merry laughter,
One footstep quick and light.
Playmates are sadly turning
From their pleasant sports away
For q darling one is missing
They have no heart to play.
One little chair is empty
In cheerful cottage home,
AS round the table gather
The inmates one by one;
And parents, humbly kneeling
Before the throne of grace,
Pause with sobbing heartache,
For one upturned face.
One bounding step is missing,
AS mp the chamber stair,
The little ones are climbing
After the evening prayer;
Aud one small bed untumbled,
With pillow soft and white,
For one dear child is missing
From your cottage home tonight.
One voice has Joined the choir
In the angel song above;
One spirit bright and beautiful
Sings of redeeming love.
Look upward, fearful mourner,
And wipe your tears away,
Though little boy be missing
From your cottage home to-day.

CHAPTER VII.

When the hour was passed the
knights were again marshalled, and
the second trial was begun. In this
Reginald was easily victor. His
practice, by the advice of Purple
Robe, in which all the others were
wanting, assured his success, and
when they had all ridden and thrown
three times at the mark, it was his
javelin that was always nearest the
center. Again the herald made pro-
clamation that Sir Knight Reginald,
having three times thrown his jave-
lin nearest the center OF the mark
with his horse at full speed was en-.
titled 10 the prize Of craftsmanship.
He was commanded also to proclaim
that the next aud last trial would be
at the knightly sport of the rings,
which required steady nerve and un-
erring vision and that to make the
trial moro difficult and enhance the
value of the victory, one Of the rings
Of the Princess was to be used.--
Each knight was to be entitled to
three tits with his horse at full
speed, and he who should three
times carry Of the ring on the poin,
Of his spear should be entitled to the
ring as prize, and that il i,
