A Beautiful Hama.

A beautiful hand is an excellent thing
in woman; it is charm that never fails,
it is means of fascination that never
disappears. Women carry a beautiful
hand with them to the grave when a
beautiful face has long since vanished
or ceased to enchant. The expression
of the hand, too, is inexhaustible; and
when the eyes we may have worshiped
no longer flash or sparkle, the ringlets
with which we have played are covered
with cap, or, worse, trlrban, and the
symmetrical presence which, i'll our SON.
nets, has reminded us so often Of ante
lopes and wild gazelles, have all, all
vanished, the hand, the immortal hand,
defying alike time and care. still van
pushes and still triumphs; and small, soft
and fair, by an airy attitude, a gentle
pressure, or new ring, renews with
untiring grace the spell that bound our
enamored and adoring youth. -DiSrdcIi.

Women as Landlords.

1t is we'll that no occasion should be
lost of testing the commonplace that men
are harder than women. Irish tenants
are said to have found that the reverse
Of this is nearer the truth. Speaking Of
the cases settled at Ballina, the Times
correspondent says that they were ex.
treme cases, and the fact that the land
has been in the possession Of a lady did
did not diminish the risk OF raek-rent-
ing. On the contrary, it may be said,
without any disparagement OF the gen.
tier sex, that, in many instances, they
have been found the most severe and
exacting Of all proprietors, who enforce
their claims with uncompromising strict
ness.

John Brown and Frederick Douglass.

John Brown and Frederick Douglass.
There is no more interesting part OF
Douglass book than that which describes
his connection with John Brown. When
they first met in Rochester, Brown was a
respectable and prosperous merchant,
who owned large brick store on one OF
the principal streets. After seeing the
store Douglass expected that the house
would be proportionately fine. On the
contrary, it was small wooden building
on q back street, and the inside was
palmer than the outside. It's furniture
would have satisfied a Spartan" and
there was an ''air of plainness about it
that almost suggested destitution." The
first meal Douglass ate there was called
tea, but it consisted of ''beef soup,
cabbage and potatoes. The table was
innocent OF paint, veneering, yarnish
or tabie-cloth, and the mother and
daughter cooked the meals and did the
waiting. The master of this household
fulfilled st. Paul's idea OF the head of
the family. His wife believed in him.
and his children observed him with rev.
erence."
Douglass describes Brown as his face
Is known to us through the illustrated
papers OF those stormy DAYS: . In per-
son he was lean, strong, sinewy, of the
best New England mold, built for times
OF trouble and fitted to grapple with the
fiintiest hardships, clad in plain, Ameri-
can wooden, shod in boots Of cowhide
leather, and wearing n eravat of the same
substantial material; under six feet high.
less than one hundred and fifty pounds
In weight, age about fifty, he presented
figure straight and symmetrical rs q
mountain pine. His bearing was singu-
lrly impressive. His head was not
large, but compact aud high. His hair
was coarse, strong, slightly gray and
closely trimmed, and grew low on his
forehead. His face was smoothly shaved,
and revealed q strong, square mouth,
supported by a broad, prominent chin.
His eyes were blush gray, and in con-
versation they we're full Of light and fire.
When on the street he moved with a
long, springing, race-horse step. abb
sorbed by his oan reflections, neither
seeking nor stunning observation.
After tea Brown cautiously approached
the subject that was nearest his heart
the freeing of the slaves-and he laid
his plan before Douglass. 1t was bold
one, and one that would send him down
the pages of history either as a murderer
or martyr. He was ready to take his
life in his hand, and all the money he
had saved by living in the most econom-
ical manner was to be devoted to the
cause. g can but be killed." he said.

Perhaps he most striking character
istic of til women of the West is the
even undue importance they place on
the intellectual life 1t is a natural re-
suit of the early deprivations of the
parents who, in going to new country,
relinquished the educational privileges
of the East, and to whose receding
visions the opportunities Of schools,
libraries, art galleries md social culture
were blessings that frightened as they
took their fight. As an almost invari-
able sequence, their children were
reared to consider these the very essen
tials of life. The mother might neces-
sarily be Confined to life limited in its
realizations but infinite in its aspira-
tons, ard out Of this grew the feeling
that the daughter should enjoy those
privileges denied TO herself. Thus the
pres mt generations Of the y omen Of the
West are the ones who recruit the intel
iectual ranks. Byston 1Jorelfer.
