"Old Maids"

The term is already almost an extinct one.
The world is beginning to realize that many
noble women are too honest, too brave and
too pure to use marriage as q makeshift.-
And it is plain that there cannot now be in
existence more thoughtful, more large-heart-
ed, more self.sacrificing, more modest, tender
and truthful women than these AS society
comes to see that woman is as separate an
entity as distinct an individuality as man,
it will pay less regard to her accidents and
more to herself. 1t will not take it for grant
ed that she has had disappointment" at
tender age, or buried her youthful lover, or
been the victim of a misunderstanding" if
she write herself miss" at forty. Nor will
it audbly wonder why charming woman is
unmarried after twenty-five. 1t will admire
her for her admrableness, whether that has
had the certificate of some mans expressed
appreciation or not. 1t will permit her to
live her own life. In the past the patience
of single women has been too complete and
selfsacrifcing. Almost with one accord
have they consented to efiace themselves, as
the French say, grieving the while that mar
ried sisters and preoccupied brothers-in-law
and gay young nieces-alas! that even dis
appointed parents-were so ready to etface
them. They have seemed content TO live
only for others. But this virtue of selfsacri-
nee is greatly misunderstood loueny one D
self for great end, to help the weak, to re-
lieve the burdened, that is heroic. But only
to sew for the idle, to take steps for the
inconsiderate, to pamper vanity and folly
with endless services, to be an unpaid upper
servant for unapprecative kindred, to make
ones self of no account that selfishness may
prosper that is selfish and perpetuates ty-
ranny. This degradcs and belittles her who
ministers, as it initiates and misleads her who
is ministered unto. BY cultivating little of
that selfishness which she sees in others, the
single woman may command respect. She
should not slight her dress, and put away
from her the ornaments and graces of life
They are her armor and defence, her argu-
ment and appeal; for. it is for her to show,
in her own person, how much more is the
woman than the wife, and how incontestable
is her right to place in the house, in socie-
ty, and in the world.

BUILDING ON THE SAND.

'Tis well to WOO, it's well to wed,
For so the world hath done,
Since myrtle grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have a care We young and fair,
BE sure you pledge with truth:
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth!
For if you give not heart for heart,
AS well as hand for hand.
You'll find you've played an unwisa part
And built upon the sand"
Ills well to save. TITS well to have
A goodly share of gold,
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
On what the'deep mine brings;
We cannot live with yellow dust
UnmiXed with purer things;
And he who piles up wealth alone,
viii often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest and own
Ills built upon the sand"
'Tis good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe where'er you can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind
And love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds,
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend a helping hand,
For those who talk, yet fail to do,
Build upon the sand"
