Wasted Forces.

The men who toll three hundred and thir-
teen days in the year, and pass the remain
ing fifty-twO in thinking how to render that
toll more productive of money for wife and
children to spend; the wives who grew
haggard in making house, clothes, and table
as tasteful, attractive, and comfortable as
twice their income should do, for the sake
or husband, sons, and daughters; the girls
at home who worry over small means, spend
golden hours at the sewing-machine, and
scrimp and save and labor, that father and
mother may see them rs fine as their richer
neighbors-all these are thrifty, industrious,
and unselfish, and their virtues are almost
vicious.
For the immense force expended in these
labors of Sisyphus leaves them sapless and
poor. There is no time or room in their
hurried lives for the simple Joy of existence,
for pure fun and frolic, good humor, and all
the cheap delights of cheerfulness. Let us
admit, for the arguments sake only, that
&cultivated men and women can not keep
their place in society unless they conform
to q certain standard of dress, equipage. and
surroundings. That exclusion would simply
be so much the worse for society. For the
exiles, being numerous and agreeable, how
ever behind the mode, would soon have so
CuhEIiliLE u CDteTlc VI bL0ir own that society
would impsril its sixteen-5utton gloves In q
frantic knocking for admission.
But we think the proposition untenable.
1t has already become fashionable to live
within ones means. 1t will presently be
thought very bad taste TO seem to spend be-
yond them, as most "good managers now
do. If all these working fathers and con-
irving mothers and stitching daughters
would give up now and forever the effort to
appear richer than they are, the wearing
labor of dropping buckets into empty
wells, and growing old in drawing nothing
up" there would be such a saving Of
strength for the real uses of time as would
transform their thin and pinched existence
into exuberant and creative liie.-
There is enough courage, fidelity, pa
thence, industry, thrift, perseverance, energy,
self-sacrifce, conscientiousness, abroad in
the worl6 to insure its welfare and happi-
ness. What it lacks is that good Judgment
which foTbids virtue to run to waste. And
this is defect which common-sense should
hasten to repair.

Such business knowledge and energy as

man, and she is a very modest little body,
with all her knowledge, though entirely
self possessed in answering questions, as n
teacher should be. She was in short frocks
at the State Fair held here in 1880, when,
as pupil of the silk school, her case of CO.

cultural Society, and many visitors to the

was able to explain the process of silk-reel-

AN OLD wIFE's VALENTINE.
BY MARY A. BARR.

The old wife stood at her garden gate
The eve of St. Valentines Day:
She watched for the post. that Ike rate
Just stopped and then gallOped away
just stopped, and then, in the waning light,
Passed over the hill and out of her sight
Her grandchild tugged at her shawl and gown
And her daughter called, sweet and clear,
mother come in, for the cakes are brown,
And the boys and father are here"
"Ah, yes" she said, land the night is cold;
quite forgot that am growing old"
At breakfast lay at the fathers place
A letter as white as snow;
He looked at il with a curious lace.
And said, "Now want to knowi"
The boys all smiled the mother grew
Der face and throat crimson hue.
He opened the dainty letter then,
And To- in its satiny fold
Was painted rose and forget-me not,
And lilies with hearts of gold;
And. uAder the whole, just one sweet line
Forever, forever, thy Valentine"
He touched the note with a tender care,
And he went to his sweet wife's side;
He stTOked with his hand her snow-white hair
And he kissed her with loving pride,
Saying. with smiles and misty tears,
"My Valeatine through fifty years"
40 boys he said, with youthful pride,
'After fifty Years of life,
III you ind in your home. and by your side,
A fair aud faithful wife,
Count your life lucky, as count mine,
And Loyalty kiss your Valentine"

And the night was long and drsary,
Endless seeming 10 my caild heart
Longing for the mOrafng light.
Pain ard woe full sore were DER me.
And the shaded lamp before me
Seemed to mock my bitter yearning,
Long ago, one winter night
TIN my mothers soft caressing
Fell upon me ike blessing.
As she told of One VINO suffered
Bitter throes on Calvary:
Till ushed my sCbs and crying,
On her gentle bosom lying,
While she told me of the Savior
And His death upon the tree.
Told me DER and DER the story
OF the Christ child ana His glory,
of the shepherds wondrous vision
And the star Of promise bright;
OF the humble shed and manger
Grading the holy stranger:
OF the angels. praises singing.
Long ago, one winter night.
Stiller grew my hearts quick beating
AS she told me of The meeting
At the tomb, one Sabbath morning.
Of the angels fair and bright.
Then. at last, the story ended,
Up TO God prayer ascended-
All, II all comes back so plainly
To my fevered brain tonight.
As upon my couch languish,
SoOthingly upon my anguish,
Like a star that breaks the darkness,
Or a ray of m9rning light,
Comes the thought of that sweet st0rj
of the ChTist-ehiid and His glory
That was told to hush nay wailing
Long ago, one winter night.
ALI my burden seemeth lighter,
And the darkness groweth brighter;
Pain and grief no longer DER me
Their dark wings of sorrow cast;
Christ, my King, forever reigneth.
And my soul no more complaineth:
Christ hath raised the veil of shadows
From my weary heart at last.

Physical Training for Woman.
lLearenworth Times.I

LeaVenWOrth IlmeS.I
It Is not less mental training that women
leedIbut more physical. There are few
women VIII have graduated from any edu-
csiional institution, whether high-schcol,
seminary. or college, who will not confess
to the disastrous nervous system that has
been made by their course of study. But it
is all because the physical system has been
kept in state of Comparative repose, while
the mind has labOred necessarily. The
boy, while be is going through school and
college, plays football and baseball runs
foot-races and has walking matches and
rope-pulls, takes long tramps over fields and
hills, rows, and practices in the gymnasium.
If girl goes boating some one else yields
the oars; she can't walk more than a mile or
two per day; she stands or sits about and
watches the gamer and races of the boys.
All through her school or College course her
brain is kept busy, her nerves at high ten
sion, and her muscles lax and practically
unexercised The result is and must be de-
vefopnent mentally, retrogression physical
ly.
And not only for her individually, but
through her for a large part of the Nation.
It is true that there are few Colleges that
furnish gymnastic training for women stu
dents, but they are very few and do not
largely effect tie general health OF women.
1t is only by regular and intelligent exercise
Athat boy or girl can undergo the severe
Rmental labor required by the College course,
or be SUI cessful in any menlal labor SITTER
ward without great physical detsiment.
As Nation we are fast coming to be the
victims of nervous diseases of every Sort
but it is only because we refuse our faded
and over worked bodies the relaxation and
exercise they imperatively demand. Will
liam Cullen Bryant's eighty four years of
constant labor were due largely to his hour
of gymnastics each morning. The school
girl just as much as the school boy needs
regular gymnastic training, daily exercise,
and much of 1t, in the open air, on foot, on
horseback and in the boat.
And herein lies the key to the success of
the education OF women. Unless its advo-
Gates see this and provide for the physical
training of women, tho result of the move
ment will be more detrimental than bene-
fetal.
