Edward Atkinson Concerning Gump-
ton.

Some sensible remarks were recently
made by Edward Atkinson of Boston in
an address to the members of the Gold
en- Branch Society of Phillips Exeter
Academy, upon "What Advantages
does an American Boy Possess?" He
dwelt upon the Importance of gumption.
He conceived gumption to be the power
of applying the work of the hand and
the brain together under the quick ap-
plication of the will, which makes boy
or man ready for any emergency, and
enables him to decide at a glance, or
with single thought, the right way of
doing something. Gumption does not
belong to any part of the curriculum Of
the school or college. but is acquired, if
at all, independent of the efforts of
teachers and during the time spent out
side of books. Men who have been en-
gagged in active work from their early
years and had to select men to fill i'm
portant places, notice that the number
of school or college graduates who have
been adequately prepared to apply that
instruction to immediate use, consti-
tutes painfully small proportion of the
whole number. The method of prepar-
atory study should not be so ill-advised
as to disqualify the graduate in a meas
ure for the work he must do. Mr.. At
kinson thought that it would be well to
provide for boys and young men in
school and college an organized system
of sports as means of developing man.

opmeat Of hand and brain together.

Take Care Of Your Employees.

A noteworthy instance of thoughtful
consideration is the act of a certain
Boston firm, in sending number of its
employees to Europe for a summer trip.
Employers are too apt to regard those
whose who work for them merely as
useful machines, to be valued, accord.
ing to their capacity for labor, and to
take no coguizance Of the fact that their
employees need, now and then, chance
to rest, to enjoy change Of scene, and
to crafty their tastes in dicticns
that lie outside of the dry routine of
work. 1t is gratifying to observe that
employers are more and more favoriDg
their employees in these respects, not
only because they wish to confer enjoy
ment upon the latter, but because they
are shrewd enough to perceive that the
humane and generous plan, in the long
run. insures the performance of better
work than the niggardly plan under
which an employe is allowed no privi-
leges, and is forced to work like a galley
slave.

Chaales Reade's True Woman.

Walter Besant In the Geuteman's Magazine.
Reade, in fact, invented the True
Woman. That is to say, he was the
first who found her. There have been
plenty of sweet and charming women
in stories-the patient, loving Amelia
the bouncing country girl, Sophy West
ern the graceful and gracieuSeS ladies
of Scott the pretty dummies of Dick
ems the insipid sweetnesses of Thack-
cray the proper middle-class Tor upper
CLASSY girl of Trollope; the conventional
girl of the better lady novelists. There
have also been disagreeable girls, espe-
cially the bad-style, detestable girl of
the "worser" lady novelists but Reade
the trourere-has found the real
woman. You will meet her on every
page of all his novels. What is she ?
My friend, Columbus's egg was not SIM
pier. She is just exactly like a man,
like ourselves, but with certain woman
ly tendencies. Like ourselves, she ar
IDENTIFY desires love. She knows that it
is the besG-the absolutely best-thing
the world has to give; that we are all
born for love-man and woman alike
that to lack this consummate and SUI
preme blessing is to lose the best part
Of life. Since she desires above all
things to be wOoed, and is forbidden to
woo on her own account, she conceals
her own thoughts, yet, from her own
experience in hiding, she is quick at
reading the thoughts of others. She is
satisfied with nothing less than what
she herself gives, which is all herself.
Her reserve leads her, in the lower ma.
lures, to deceit and falsehood. Her de.
votion, which is part of her nature
leads her-also in the lower natures
to suspicion and jealousy. She is always
in the house, aud therefore her mind is
apt to run in narrow grooves. The
prodigality and wastefulness of men are
things beyond her understanding or pa
thence. She is IMMERSED in affairs, and
therefore comprehends nothing of com
promise. She is generally ill-educated
and therefore is incapable of forming q
judgment ; hencesheis carried away by
every wind of doctrine as, for instance
in matters ecclesiastical, knowing moth
ing Of the Early Church or its history
she believes the poor little Ritualisl
curate, who knows, indeed, no more
than herself or in Art, where for want
of a standard she ia led astray by every
fad and fashion of the day, and wor.
ships sad-faced flatnesses with rapture
or in dress, where, her taste being un
cultivated, she puts on whatever is
most hideous and unbecoming, provid
ed it is worn by everybody else.
This is the woman whom Charles
Reade presents to us. She is not, at all
events, insipid ; no ideal women are IL
she is artificial, he shows the real WON.

What a Woman Can Do.

As wife and mother, woman can
make the fortune and happiness Of her
husband and children and, il she did
nothing else, surely this would be sufli.
cient destiny. BY her thrift, prudence
and tact, she can secure to her partner
and herself competence in old age, no
matter how small their beginning. or
how adverse fate may be theirs. BY
her cheerfulness she can restore her
husbands spirit, shaken by the anxiety
Of business. BY her tender care she
can restore him to health, if disease has
overtasked his powers. BY her counsel
and love she can win him from bad
company, If temptation in an evil hour
has led him astray. BY her example,
her precepts. and her sex's insight into
character, she can mold her children,
however adverse their dispositions, into
noble men and;women. And by lead
ing in all things true and beautiful
life, she can refine, elevate and spiritual
ize all who come within reach so that
with others Of her sex emulating and
assisting her, she can do more to regen-
crate the world then all the statesmen
or reformers that ever legislated.
She can do much, alas perhaps more,
to degrade man if she chooses 70 do it,
Who can estimate the evils that woman
has the power to dop As a wife she
can ruin herself by extravaganza, folly,
or want Of affection. She can make a
demon or an outcast of man who
might otherwise become a good men,
Der of society. She can bring pickering,
strife and discomfort into what has been
happy home. She can change the
innocent babies into vile men, and even
into vile women. She can lower the
moral tone of society itself, and thus
pollute legislation at the springfield.
She can, in fine, become an instrument
of evil instead of an angel of good.
Instead of making flowers of truth,
purity, beauty and spirituality spring
up in her footsteps, till the earth smiles
with loneliness that is almost celes-
al,Ishe can transform it to a black and
arid desert, covered with the scorn of
an evil passion, AMI by the bitter blast
of an everlasting death. This is what a
woman can do for the wrong as well as
for the right. Is her mission a little
one? Has she no worthy work, as has
become the cry of late? Man may
have harder task to perform, a rough
or road to travel, but he has none lof.
tier or more influential than woman's.

The Sewing Girls of New York.

In communication to the New
York Sun, William Lochead discusses
a matter to which those who are en-
joying prosperity and living in COM
fort will do well to give attention. He
says: There are no human beings on
the face of Gods earth who work
harder for small wages than the sew
ing girls Of New York city. Thousands
of them make calico shirts for thirty
cents dozen, and are compelled to do
so to keep body and soul together.
Some of these girls have TO support
their aged parents. and others their in
FAINT brothers and sisters, all on these
starvation wages. You ask, how they
can do it? Many a poor sewing girl
could tell you how it IS done with an
aching heart, and this would be what
they would tell you: We get up at
the break of day and commence work,
and ofttimes work till the clock strikes
midnight. Our food consists of bread
and water, or bread and molasses.' Such
condition Of things is an outrage and
and an inhuman disgrace in a Christian
country. 1t is of vital Importance to
every sewing girl in this city and
Brooklyn that a sewing girls union
aid society should be organized to en-
able them to demand respectable wages
am satisfied that the public at large
would assist them to hold out for living
wages. 1 myself do not uphold strikes
in many cases, but in their case il
seems at present the only available way
to obtain justice. What is wanted is a
woman of means to furnish money tc
hire hall and advertise a sewing
girls meeting for the purpose of or
ganizing such union as l have de.
scribed. If l had the means, nothing
on earth would give me more pleasure
than to hire hall and organize sew
ing girls union aid society,""

FOR THE LADIES.
About a Young Woman.

1t was in the concert room. The as.
sembled ladies and gentlemen were
awaiting the beginning Of the enter
tainment. Presently very pretty
young woman entered the hall, walked
down the main aisle, and took her seat
near the front row.
"By Georger exclaimed young man;
"that's a mighty pretty grill"
Perfect masher,' said his friend SEN
tentiously.
"Did you see how she looked at mep p
asked the first.
''At your replied his ..apigrammatic
friend. Didn't I catch her eye three
times ?" :
"a pretty dress-pattern," observed
lady.
"But did you notice how awfully 1t
hung?" asked a second fair critic.
"Blue and greenl" sneered a third
splendid tastev
"She's got nice hair" remarked Mr..
A.
"WOnder how much of it is her own y
responded his wife.
"That dress must have cost as much
as 81 yard" was the comment of a
young lady in the next seat.
"FOr my part / don't see what folks
want to rig out so at concert" said the
young lady's mother; "nobody would
do it that was anybody"
''Why, ma" replied the daughter, 81
think she's just splendid. Iwish / had
a dress just like it."
"She's got homely nose." remarked
lady with a nasal appendage like a
knife. 81 always notice noses, you
know"
Altogether too TALL" was the remark
of Mr.. b., a perfect dump of a woman,
by the way.
"a beautiful complexion" remarked
Mr.. c.; "clear red and white"
"Humphl That's easy enough" said
Mrs. c., exchanging with her female
friend plying smile at her lord and
masters simplicity.
"l wonder how old she u.s." said a
lady across the aisle.
"Not a day under 25," was the reply
from her interlocutor.
twenty-five" was the contemptuous
comment of the other. ''She will new
Fer see 80 again. Who wouldn't look
young with all that rigging on?"
1t is just possible that the speaker
thought that she herself would look
young with "that rigging" on; but it
did not seem possible to an unprejudic-
ed observer.
"She'sa brazen-faced thing, anyway"
said a woman in one of the back seats.
"Prancing way down front, just to
show her fnery!"
did you see that hat?" asked a
young lady, decked out in flaunty head
gear. "All the colors of the rainbow"
"Who is she, wonder?" asked an
inquisitive lady.
81 don't know" was the reply; "no-
body in particular, / guess. She's not
one of our set"
At this juncture the music began,
and what other commentaries were pass
ed upon the young woman were lost in
the jangling of sweet sounds.
But wasn't it kind in her to give so
many good people something to talk
about?
