Among these ouioohers were sever
al women, sad, careworn and poorly
clad They had sons or husbands
among the prisoners. One woman
dressed in thin alpaca dress with a
threadbare shawl pulled round her
shoulder, was conspicuous by her
manner. She was evidently hard
working woman The bones OF her
bare wrist showed the strain Of long
continued labor. The lines in face
that must at one time have been come

Charlotte Cushman's Grave.

The famous tragedienne, Charlotte
Cushman, is the most distinguished
woman buried at Mount Auburn.
Her monument is modelled after the
Egyptian obelisk recently erected in
Central park, the shaft being twenty
five feet in height. This rests on a
suitable foundation, and the entire
structure is nearly thirty four feet
The only inscription is the name
Charlotte Cushman,' which, indeed,
is ali that is required. Miss Cush-
man was native of Boston, and was
the oldest of five children. Her faith
or was bankrupt, and she went on
the stage for the purpose of aflording
a support for those she loved She
developed an extraordinary dramatic
genius, which was fully appreciated
by the public, and her role included
the highest range Of Shakespearian
characters. Hence she drew immense
audiences, and as a result her pro-
fessional emoiuments were of an un
paralleled amount. She was always
highly liberal to her relatives, and left
them an estate estimated ut half
million. Miss Cushman was the
only tragedienne that went through
life unmarried The reason OF her
celibacy is unknown, but it may be
supposed that her bold, masculine
manners were too repulsive. She
had one admirer. however, but
no one knew the rea ,on why he was
unsuccessful Perhaps he shrank at
last from Offering his hand to one of
such hauteur and autocratic disposi
ton, or some pique may have led her
to reject him in hope of more dis
tingnished match. Whatever be the
reason. she remained Charlotte Cush
man, and gave noble example of
dignity Of maiden life. She selected
a lot in Mt Auburn some time before
her death, and showed her usual taste
in the preference Of locality. 1t is
prettily situated at the base of a gen
tie eminence, and has fine view OF
Boston, with the Charles river in the
distance. The tragedienne remarked
at the time of making the purchase
Here l shall be in sight Of dear old
Boston" Immediately after he,
death February Is, 1876 small
headstone bearing her name wa.
erected, which eventually gave place
to the above mentioned obeiisk.

To Keep Men Temperate.

\ German Temperance Society Is
about to be formed, whose chief OBJ
j"ct is to introduce into Berlin cheap
coffee taverns, for the poorer classes.
This is we'll; they have served Il good
purpose, and there should be more of
theln here and everywhere.
To encourage Improvement IN the
mode of living, so as TO make the
poor more company, Is long step
toward keeping them from intemper-
ance.
1t is a great mistake to say that
men seek Intoxicating liquors because
they have an appetite for them, or
because they like the taste Children
eat candy because they like 1t, not lor
the after effects OF 1t, when are often
very disagreeabie. Men seek liquor
for the sake of the effects that follow
the use oi it, Some people do love
beer, VINE, rum or brandy, etc, Tor
It's own sake: they like the taste Of IT :,
have an appetite FOR 1t. But the
most OF drinkers aud drunkards take
intoxicating liquor because of tn
effects; because it makes them feel
good afterwards. There are two
stages after the drink, the first OF ex
liberation when the topper feels hap
py," the second OF stupefactlon when
he is insensible to the trouble that
oppresses him when sober The
young man, not yet drnnkard, takes
his glass to be excited, and the exhil-
aration he feels In company after
drinking is the pleasure that appears
TO his silly mind one of the pleasures
OF life. He is in a fair way of bccom-
ing n drunkard But the evils OF IN
temperance are among the poor.
They drink because Of the hardness
of life Drink first eXcltes, then stu.
pehes. They feel better al first. and
then do not feel at all.
This suggests the direction which
philanthropy should take in saving
men and women from intemperance
1t is good to preach temperance; to
convince men that it Is wisest ant
best to abstain; ply them with argu
ments. Inducements and appeals, the
more the better; keep on with the
old methods and reform and save al
many as possible But so long al
