Beautiful Thoughts.

is COMMON between the girl and boy,
and dwell on the difference.
1t is profound, and this it is: The
education of tbs boy III the modern
sense, aims to organize a force, an
effective and productive force, to
create s. creator; which is the mod
ern man.
The education of the girl is to pro-
duce harmony, to harmonic re-
ligion.
Woman is religion.
Her destiny is such that the higher
she stands as religious poetry, the
more effective will she be in common
and practical lie.
The utility of man, being in crea-
tive, productive power, may exist
apart from the ideal; an art which
Yields noble products may sometimes
have the effect of yulgsrizing the
artist, who may himself retain very
Halle of the beauty he infuses into his
works.
There is never anything like this
in woman.
The wsman of prOsaic heart, she
who is not living power, harmO-
nv to exalt husband, to educate a
child, to constantly sanctify and en-
noble family, has failed in her mis-
sion, and will exert no influence even
in what is vulgar.
A neither seated by the cradle of
her daughter, should say to herself:
u have here the war or the peace Of
the world, wat will trouble the
hearts of men or give them the
tranquility and high harmony of
God.
"Sho it IS who, if die, will at
twelve years Of age, on my tomb,
raise her father on her little wings,
and carry him rack to heaven.
She it is who at sixteen, may
with a word Of proud enthusiasm,
exaIt man far above himself, and
make him say II will be great"
"She it is who, at twenty, and at
thirty, and all her life long, will re-
new her husband, every night, as he
returns deadened by his labor, and
make his wilderness Of interests and
/ cares blossom like the rose.
She again, who, in the wretched
DAYS when the heavens are dark, and
everything is disenchanted, will bring
God back to him. making him find
and feel Him on her Bosom"
To educate a daughter is to edu-
cate society itself. Society proceeds
from the family, of which the wife
is the living bond. To educate a
daughter is a sublime and disinter
ested task; for you create her, o
mother, only that she may leave you
and make your heart bleed. She is
destined for another. She will live
fol others, not for you, not for her
self; it is this relative character
which places her higher than man,
sud makes her a religion. She is
the flame Of love, and the fame of
the heart. She is the cradle Of the
future, and she is the school, another
cradle-in a word: She is the al
tar.
GOd be thanked, all the debated
systems for the education Of the boy
end hero, all disputes cease here
Tie great conflict of methods and
theories expires in the peaceful nur-
ture Of this blessed flower; discards
are disarmed, aud embraces each eth
er in Beauty.
She is not condemned to strong
and violent action; she will know,
but not enter into, the frightful work
of details, ever increasing, beyond all
the powers Of man.

not by following IN our footsteps
We will prepare Tavs for her to

There can be no excess to love,
none to knowledge, none to beauty,

A contemporaneous gentleman of for

The Captain had kept his good fortune a
secret from his wife, and he hurried home
to tell her. She was sitting down after
a hard days work, and without word
he dropped the armful Of greenbacks in
her lap. 1t was loyal and touching
thing to do. For a moment she sat par

HORRORS OF NEW YORK POOR
HOUSES.

Miss Ella NJ. Terry, secretary of the
State Charities Aid Association of New
York, gives a most horrible description of
the condition Of the insane paupers in the
county poOrhouses of that State. In a
personal inspection she found lunatics
chained in strong, close cells like OK stalls,
the lack of suitable care taken oblging
this recourse to constraint In Broome
county the bathing was done in the coal
cellar, six patients in the same water,
which was then saved to wash the dirty
clothing In Chemung county man had
lain seventeen years only covered with
ragged quilt in dry goods box, with a
bed Of straw. AS general custom the
insane in county poorhouses were kept in
attics and Easements and outbuildings.
They were filthy and squalid, they lounged
about in idleness in shadeless courtyards,
and little effort was made to keep the
sexes separate. She recommends that
insane wards in county poorhouses be
abolished, and that the insane should be
cared for by the State in cottages of mod
crate cost on the vacant lands of the pres
ent State institution. Miss Terry has re-
signed the secretaryship being about to
be married.

DEATH OF CONGRESSMAN HASKELL.
An Active and Able Republican Taken.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE many
friends Of Hon. Dudley @. Haskell, mem
Der Of the House from Kansas. mourn
the death of that gentleman, which oc
cured in this city yesterday morning,
after lingering illness. Mr.. Haskell,
who was one Of the young members Of
the present Congress, was born at Spring
field, Vermont, March q, 1912, but re-
moved in 1865 to Kansas. lie received
classical education at East Hampton,
Mass, and subsequently took special
course at Yale College and received de-
gree. He was for some years engaged in
business at Lawrence, in his adopted
State, and in 1872 was elected a member
of theState Legislature. He served in that
capacity three years and during his last
term was Speaker Of the State House of
Representatives In 1874 he was
nominated by the Prohibition party
in Kansas for Governor but de
c1ined. He was elected Repre-
sentative in the Forty fifth Congress and
has served continuously in the House ever
since that time. I'm the last Congress he
was chairman Of the Committee on In
dian Affairs and p!omircnt member of
the Ways and Means Committee In the
latter position he was generally recog-
nized, on account Of the age and ill.,
health of Judge Kelley. as the leader of
he t., wv. g AN
tariff BILL and those who knew him best
say that no member of the House was
better acquainted with every detail Of the
tariff than be. lie was an ardent protec
zionist and while the tariff bill was pend
ing he devoted to that subject nearly the
whole Of his time and often had confer
enCes with manufacturers and others in
terested in il at late hours Of the night.
To his indefatigable labors in connection
with tariff legislation is largely attributed
the i'll health which ended in his cath.
He was not well when he returned TO
his home after the adjournment Of Con
gress last spring. and during the summer
he visited one of the health resorts in the
Northwest and finally about month ago
came TO Washington. At all three
places he was treated for different dis
ease, his physicians holding various opin-
ions with regard to the nature of his ill
ness. Since his return here he has been
confined to his rooms. He contemplated
last week being carried TO the House to
take the oath, in order that he might in
troduce measures in the interest Of his
constituents, although unable to attend
the daily sessions Of the House.
The family Of the dead man, accompa-
MED by Congressional committee, will
leave Washington with the body for Law
renee, Kansas, where they expect TO ar
rive Wednesday and where the funeral
will take place on the Gay following.

between rival goers were witnessed. 1t

seemed to be in the best of humor.
North Second street seems to be the
most popular drive in the city owing to
the absence of a street car track.

THE HOUSE RULES.
Committees Divided and Others Discon-
tinued,

tinued.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The Commit
tee on Rules of the House of Represen-
tatives met yesterday merning. 1t was
determined to recommend that two com.
mittees be made out of the old Education
and Labor Committee to consider the two
subjects separately, one to be called the
Committee on Education aud the other
the Committee on Labor. 1t was also
decided to recommend the creation of a
Committee on Rivers and Harbors The
question of submitting the improvement
of the Mississippi river to the River and
Harbor Committee was discussed, but
the decision of the matter was left to the
House. 1t was determined to recon-
mend the retention of all committees of
the last House except such as related to
personal subjects. The Census Commit
tee was dropped, as was also the Com
mittee on Accommodation for the Con-
gressional Library. Ex-Speaker Kiefer
was instructed to report a resolution,
without recommending its adoption, for
the appointment of committee of nine
on woman suffrage A request of the
correspondents that they be admitted to
the House lobby was considered and
unanimo usly agreed to.
