At last the knot yielded, and she UNI
folded the package. Folded coupon

thick layer Of crisp bank notes. On the
top little note. She read it.
"My dear little granddaughter, here is
your marriage dOwry. Two thousand

his wife. You are treasure in your
self, but take this from old grandpapa
as slight remembrance for all your
kindness to him."
"Oh, grandpapa, then you did not for

A ring at the door at that moment
startled her. She looked out and saw
her lover, Gathering her treasures into
the lap of her ruflied apron, she rushed
out to meet him.
ooh, Charlie, come in quick; I've got
some wonderful news to tell YOU"
The young man followed her into the
drawing room, wondering what had
happened.
"Oh, Charlie she cried breathlessly,
holding up her apron, her eyes shining,
her cheeks aglOw; "see here; I'm a rich
girl after ALL I've found my marriage

The young man bent down and kissed
the sweet, tremulOus mouth with a full
glowing heart, as he said:
my darling" his voice thrilling with
| tenderness, 81 am glad of all this because

Kathie let the folded bank coupons
and notes slip from her apron and fall to
the floor in a rustling shower.
''Oh, Charliep she whispered, leaning
her head against his shoulder, 81 am so

Her aunt and her cousins, though they
pretended to be pleased and to congratu-
late her, yet it was easy to see how
thoroughly they were chagrined.
The marriage proved to be happy
one not only to the party directly con-
cerned, but equally to Mrs. Montague
of Oaklands," and her proud, stylish
daughters.
The money given to Kathie's brother
proved to be the making of him. He re-
covered his lost ground, and in few
years he had accumulated handsome
property, repaid his sister all that he
owed, though against her wishes, and
showed to her how fortunate was the re-
suit of her liberality so heartily con-
demned by her aunt.

Women of Worth.

Since the world began, woman has
never failed to illustrate, in instances,
the glory of her nature-never ceased to
manifest the divine in the human. With
the regal Esther, yearning to bless her
enslaved kindred, and the filial-love-in-
spired daughter, who sustained the life
of her gray-haired father through q
prisons bars, there have not been par
allels wanting in all ages to prove that
the angels of God still wander ON earth
to remind man of Eden and give him q
foretaste of heaven. OF such type Of
virtue were Penelope, weaving amid her
maiaens through weary years the web
that shielded her virtue until her royal
husband returned from his wanderings,
and was to gladden. her heart; or
courteous Rebecca, at the well or timid
Ruth, cleaning in the field or, nobler
still, the Roman Cornelia, who, tainted
in Rome's decaying age, by rivals, with
her poverty, held up her children, ex-
claiming These are my Jewels r
Fit woman to have been the "mether
Of the Gracchi.

A WOman's Axe.

A case WAS decided not long ago be.
fore the appeal court at Metz. in Ger
many, which shows how lady's age is
matter entirely within her own control.
Fraulein Catherine Mail was engaged
to desirable partner, to whom she had
imprudently declared her age at six
years less than it really was. As soon
as the moment arrived for producing the
certificate of birth, she was aware that
her little deception would be discovered.
and she feared that the match would be
broken off She, therefore, took the
liberty of altering the official document
so as to make it correspond with the
statement already made. The cere-
mony took place, and the husband was
duly united to lady whom he believed
to be quite a .je,l'ae ingcnAe. Unfortu-
nately, the certificate, in passing through
some office, happened to be infinitely
examined by one the clerks. The bride
was charged with the offense of falsify-
ing public document, and condemned
to spend, if not her honeymoon, at least
three of the first months of her married
life, in prison. She had the courage to
appeal from the sentence, and cause the
case to be argued out before the court
of Metz, which reversed the decision Of
the inferior tribunal, and acquitted the
lady on the ground that she did not in
tend to commit an illegal act, but had
been actuated only by "female vanity. ;"

Charlotte Cushman discouraged wom-
en- rs far as she could from adopting the
stage as profession She was accus-
toned to say that for the candidate who
has beauty there is moral ruin as q re-
ward, and when her personal attractions
are poor then her course is one long,
disheartening struggle, ending generally
in failure. She attributed her success
to her wonderful physical health. Her
mind was masculine and her physique
was one rarely given to women. One
day when friend was admiring her
jewels, which were valuable and beauti-
full, though not numerous, she said: 81
had no beauty to bring these gifts to me
from others-I bough, them myself.
The grim humor, not merely of tone,
but of expression, perceptible as she
spoke, while holding the jewels up to
the light, can be understood by the few
who knew her well.

The Influential Woman.

We generally picture her as leader
OF fashion, stately and beautiful, the
center of her coterie. Her moral quail
ties are not considered at all and that
is where we err. When the rich woman
can show to the world only a life Of
fashion and idleness, she is deserving OF
open censure and disgrace, so long as
there are hungry bodies, minds or souls
crying for some of her abundance. To
whom much is given much is required.
Let public opinion mete out its wrath
OF censure upon the fashionable, idle
woman, who is disgrace to her sex
because of her aimless, useless life. Let
the expression best society" mean
those who do good deeds, who leave the
world happier and better for having
lived, instead of those who have been
most idle and aimless. The Influential
women" of every community are those
who are doing and daring, that the world
may be made purer and better, whether
they are fashionable or questionable il
mAtters not.

Womnn's SLAVERY.

In what respect is the condition OF
many married woman better than q
slave? She works hard year after year,
and has roof over her head and she is
provided with food; so is a slave. She
must beg her master for a little pit
lance for which to buy the clothing for
herself and children. The slave master
looks after such wants of his cattle
without their asking. She has no free
dom or independence she dare not buy
q single article at the store until she
gets the consent of the tyrant whom the
civil law has made her husband. She
can have no will about even household
affairs that her husband disapproves of !;
she Is slave in both body and mind
during his life and at his death, if she
survives him, she cannot, under the m
just and tyrannical laws of nearly all
the countries of the world, sell the prop.
erty which she has helped to ac-
cumulate, nor control her own children
without employing a lawyer and getting
a special permit from the court.
