From the Boston Transcript
A Wind came up one summer day

Fair with hint of sapphire skies
And jssmIne's starry gold
And lay at the feet of a Da6odll white,
And filled her with bliss untold.
20 Danfodil. spill me your fragrant breath T.
And she gave It. in sigh on sigh;
''Oh. stoop from your stately purity,
And kiss me where l lie;'
But, NAY. dear Wind! Pm a nun!n she said
''That wish must deny"
"Then you love me not" cried the eager Wind
She trembled where she stood,

Will meet me in warm mood.p
''Then go-thrn go - said the DG6odil,
And frightened her snow white snood.
At eve the sw eet South Wind had fed.
And the Daffodil stood alone;
He lay at the beurt of q musk-rose red,
Whence the West Wind scarce had flown;
And the one pure tear the DaffUdil shed
10 the moonlight only was known.

ulfIatlOnS are spoken OF as Jokes, when
the truth is, that.a girl who makes her,
self conspicuous in this way is consid-
cred fair game for the libertine, and
has only herself to blame if he meets
her advances halfway. The ribald
joke on kissing, the publication of non
sensical Irritation signals, of immoral
personals, and words of double enteutlre
can commend themselves to no sensible
people, as they must be offensive to all
well bred ones. In woman we have
the most exalted type of living beings.
Let each Of us with closed eyes recur
i'll memory to our boyhood and our
mother. What patience! What
tenderness! What unremitting care
and soicitude! What self.abnega.
ton! What purity! What good
ness! What matchless love! Shall
e,then, ,as Journalists belittle the char
acter of woman or exalt it? If there
is anything that is good in us was it
not emplanted in our breasts when chill
dren by our mothers -? If it flour
ishes and bears fruit now, is it not
because it has been watered by the
tears of joy and sorrow of our loving
wives Ifmen are even as good as
they are, do they not owe it to woman /?
Then let us see to it that from our
stronger nature goes out for her that
fostering care and protection which are
her due. Around us are always
growing up young girls, beautiful buds
OF promise. Let it be our care to
print nothing that can lower the
standard which each may set for her.
self, but rather much that may elevate
and encourage her. The opportuni.
ty for good here is about us every day.
Let us avail ourselves Of it, permitting
no temptation to lead Us into offense,
and no false modesty to deter us from
sounding note of warning.
