While the circus with 1.-THE most beau
titul woman in America" was parading
through Chicago the other day, the alb
surd cry was raised by practical joker:
"The $4,000 beauty has got loose ~
The crowd ran away in every direction.
Some women tainted, aud one was
thrown through q window, nearly kill
ing a telegraph operator. The Chicago
people are not accustomed to $4,000
beauties"

THE BAKERS DAUGHTER.

She walks in beauty like the night
OF cloudless climes and starr! skies
And, lovely though she is to sight
She Is not lovelier than her pies.
The roses of Damascus blow,
Their scents to far Arabian sands;
But sweeter Is the kneaded dough
That steals the odor of her hands.
Nor stated Turk, nor equity Lord
Nor pampered Prince did eer partake
Of dainty fish that could afford
Such rapture as her simple cake.
crave not fame, nor wealth, nor power:
only wish that could be
A pound or two of some prime flour,
And she were gently kpeading me.

One thing circus can do, and does do for
the country; it can and does stir up things.
1t shakes up the dormant life Of dull neigh
borhoods, it makes food for reflection and
themes for conversation; it leaves a pleas
ant remembrance in the arid lives of thous-
ands. 1t is a marvel how, on OCCASION
things can shake themselves together So
for example, now there IS Bridge street
hostelric-friend PITCHER'S, the American,
that got away with over three hundred guests,
(aside from regular customers) and this with
apparent ease. And, yet, there is less of it
than there might be. Show-day works Won

to congratulate themselves on the hopeful
and promising condition Of their cause as
now
First, we have bad the emphatic action of
the Boston Methodist ministers meeting. in
which they expressed "hearty and entire
sympathy and cooperation " with our move
ment. Next has cone full Endorsement of
our claim in the message of Governor Long
John G.. Whittier, the poet, beloved by all,
sends his cordial hail and amen to part of
the message Next, Governor Cornell. of
New York, in his message speaks heartily
OF the good results from School Suffrage in
that State, and recommends such amend
ment and modification of the law as shall
make It's conditions early understood.
The next step is of kind never before TO
my knowledge offered to our cause
In the Maine Senate, on Friday, the 9TH
inst, Hon. David Dudley, of Aroostook,
gave notice that est an early day he should
Introduce bill to amend the Constitution,
so as to give the privileges of elective fran
chise to all its citizens, without regard to
Sex." Without any petition or movement
by the women of Maine, Senator Dudley
has undertaken for women what St. Pail
told the magistrates they ought to do WAC
had thrust him into prison "openly and
uncondemned." ST. Paul said for hims If,
and his fellow-prisoner, Let them come
themselves and fetch us out" Senator Dud-
ley has come himself to fetch us out. This
is the first unsolicited offer of help from the
ranks of those by whom the KEY Is held
which keeps our letters locked. 1t is the
dawniDg of the day long waited for, when
an awakened sense of injustice among men
will bring to our cause that fine and high
championship which they who have strength
and power owe to those who are at dis
advantage in both those respects by hard
conditions. Above every other hopeful
sign of the time, 1 hail this gauntlet so
calamity thrown down by Senator Dudley.
Now let the women of NJ .ine hold up bis
hands by petitions asking, as he does, for
full suffrage. He will have the warm SYM
pathy of host of Unlocking women and
men who agree with him.
All along the lines are the signs of that
building which has 'sneither the sound of a
hammer, nor the noise of any instrument. "
but whose strong 70 Indations are laid, and
whose top stone is sure. Oregon and Min
nesota have their amendment in hand
Indiana and Pennsylvania are pushing for
Presidential suffrage. California is moving
in the right direction. and Colorado stirs
again. Vermont has made sure of three
advance steps during the session of the
Legislature just closed. Rhode Island and
Iowa, ever active, ask for full suffrage
New Hampshire keeps up staady interest.
Illinois is more actively at work for suffrage
than for years before. In Missouri the Leg
islaturc was not allowed to forget the claims
of women
With all these solid facts to give us
strength and courage, let us not take coun-
sci of our fears, but with the faith which
the justice of our cause insures let us more
boldly than ever ask full recognition and
security for our political rights.

was for moment or so incoherent in his

emotion, though he felt in every fibre of his
frame thrill Of graceful recognition rs his
brother kissed his forehead and said: .'God

An hour later as Teddy was leaving him
he sid: ''Oh, Charlie, there was something
yout were going to tell me. What is itl"
"Oh, that was a small matter, we will
not mix it with your joy tonight"
Mrs. Pemberton did not approve of the
match. Years were growing on her, and
her one hope seemed further from fulfillment
than ever. Her yearning love for her
younger son made her more tender than
was her wont in all that she said to him,
but toward Charlie she was cold and bitter
in her heart, though she cloaked her cold
ness and bitterness to herself under the
thought of resignation only to the Divine
Will.
1T is you," she said, "who have made
this match, in your poor, short-sighted am
bition. You have bern permitted to have
your own way in all things; and you are
right, probably, as this world goes. But the
fashion of this world passeth away. You
have been selfish all through Edwards
career, and sooner or later you will reap as
you have sown."

A Eoman,s Postscript.

Very few gentlemen, / fear, realize theil
Indebtedness t1 woman for the vast amour
of fun they have enjoyed at her expeHse
She has been tbstlever-fsiling target for tht
shak.s of ridicuIe, and think how many oi
our poets have son their first laurels iG
carioIturing some Saminine method, manner
or CUSTOM "HoW girl throws ball,
" How a woman catches a chicken" " How
lady shsrpens pencil" ETC., etc. In
former Gays the chief subject for fun was a
Woman's postscript. THAT in the good
old days of letter-writizg, when the post
script was expected to contain more than
the customary letter of the present day, and
as we believe in resurrectiSg good, old fash
ions. we propose to add postscript to our
letter of last week in regard to Christmas
presents, especially as from responsive let
tiers we received we fear che omissions
greatly exceeded she suggestions.
In the first place we would saw to the
friend "who was rendered utterly unhappy
because she was obliged to purchase a cheap
grade of goods" that possibly she has not
learned the best method of shopping.
Of course, a wise salesman knows that it
is to his interest to display the best and
most expensive material or wares first,
but the wise customer will calmly decio G
about what she can afford to
give for an article, and will ask first TO see u
lower priced article. For instance, TO be
more explicit, you have decided to give $40
or S25 for tea set. If you go to a china
store and look at an exquisite $3.50 set. of
course the palmer one viii greatly diminish
IN value. Would not the the better plan be
to look at Sl5 set first, and then be cores
pondingly happy when you have secured
the better one at 1857 1t requires good
deal of nerve for generous person TO do
Christmas shopping.
Now, in the matter of pictures. If you
spend an hour looking at the choicest en-
cravings, the beautiful heliotypes- will not
seem so desirable: but if the heliotype is
within the possibilities of your purse, why
not rejoice in the fact, as we do, that these
beautiful copies of the Aurora" "The
Angel Raphael" 'The Seasons" "St. Jer-
ome' THE Madonnas," Rosa Bonheurs
Studies" and the beautiful "Flowers of the
Field" are thus brought within the reach of
the most moderateJpurse; and indeed-we
enjoyed exceedingly, a few days since, col
lection of pictures, at the home of q friend,
who had carefully mounted on cardboard
the best wood cuts, having collection of
three hundred portraits of the representative
people whose pictures have from time to
time appeared.
Again, is it not'a good plan to give the
little folks in our households a certain
amount of money to expend for little gifts
for each other and their friends, thus intro
ducing them early to the delight of giving2
