Letter From q Female Suffragist.
Miss Louisa NJ AlcoH sent letter to
Mrs. Lucy Stone on tina occasion of the
recent Woman Suffrage convention in
Boston, in which she said:
81 am sorry that cannot rally round
the flag and lay in new store of enthu-
siasm for this year; bus, though "a super
fuous woman find my hands SO full
of home cares that 1 cannot leave even
for day. l have been SO busy lately try
ing to bring up young suffragist in the
way she should go, and in caring for an
old one, whose long pilgrimage is nearly
done, that | cannot give any report of
the state of the question in Concord at
present. Here, as elsewhere, the worst
enemy to progress seems to be the indif-
terence or timidity Of women them
selves. Those fitted by intelligence and
position to take the lead prefer to hold
back and devote their energies to church
and charities, or to narrow rounds OF do
mestic duties, beyond which they seem
afraid to stir or even look. 1t is dis
couraging to see so many excellent wo-
men, blessed with plenty of time, mon
ey, and brains, content with trif1es when
so much grand work is waiting to be
done, and in the doing Of it they would
find the genuine culture, happiness, and
success which so ennobles life"
The young suffragist referred to is the
little daughter of Mime. Nejreker, who
was May Alcott, who died abroad, and
left the little one, whom Miss Alcott has
adopted. Her name is Louisa May
NeIreker, and size is winsome little
maiden of some four wears.

What New England Doesn't Be-
lieye

A friendly Indian is one who does not
make business of scalping the superior
race: one who only kills his white ben
efactors at such odd times as can safely
and conveniently lay the blame on
some one else. A friendly Indian will
live five to ten years on the best of terms
with his neighbors; that is, he will bor-
row all the corn meal he needs, steal
what pork he requires and enough fire.
water to keep him mellow. Then, when
he has sufficiently demonstrated his
friendly disposition, he will select a
favorable opportunity, and assisted
by his relatives, also anna
BILE Indians, will murder and outrage all
the whites in the settlement. Then he
disappears, taking with him the settlers
horses, and becomes bad Indian for a
time, keeping away from the busy haunts
of men until his gnawing conscience
(which is situated in his stoinach) forces
him to 90 to the reservation and draw
rations. There paternal government,
through its pious agents, pardons all Of
fences, blesses him and rewards him for
his friendly disposition with a blanket
and repeating rifle. Thus does the
poor, untutored savage, the last of a
doomed and dying race, appeal to the
Eastern humanitarian, who has never
had the opportunity of becoming per.
sonally acquainted with his many virtues.

The Painless ness of Death.

At birth the babe undergoes an ordeal
that, where he conscious. would be more
trying than most painful death; yet he
feels it not. Born in an unconscious
state, the brain incapable of rece wing
conscious impressions, his entrance into
this hithel to unknown world is accom-
plished during state ofoblivion, known
as natures an9sthesia:
"Painlessly we come, whence we know not -
Painlessly we go, whihe7 we Know not!"
From the earliest period of human
history death has been considered as
necessarily accompanied by pain; so
general in this belief, that the terms
"death-agony," "last-struggle." "pangs
of DEATH" etc, have been in almost
universal use in every age and under
all conditions of society. Nothing Coud
be more erroneous, the truth is, pain
and death seldom go together-we mean
the last moments of life. OF course,
death may be proceeded by weeks or
even nonths Of extreme suffering. as
occurs during certain inCurable diseases.
So exaggerated has been this notion
that it has been considered an act of hui
manity to anticipate the" death struggle"
by violence; for ages it was customary
among the lower classes of Europe to
hasten death by suddenly jerking the
head of the dying, thus throwing the
head backward, straining the pharengal
and thoracic muscles, rendering the res
piration, already difficult, shortly i'm
possible. Venetian ambassador, in
the time of Queen Mary, asserted that
it was Il common custom among the
country people to smother the dying by
means of pillow placed
over the face, upon which leaned or sat
the nearest relative. This was founded
upon the pious belief that a short road
was the best one. This custom was
handed down from generation, parents
performing it for their children, and
vice versa. But, perhaps, the saddest
privilege ever allowed the near friends
of the dying man, occasionally occurred
during the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
when through executive clemency-in
executions BY hanging-they were per-
mitted to grasp the feet of the suspended
criminal, and by clinging to the extrem-
tiles, precipitate their additional weight
on the hody, thereby fastening strangu-
lation. 1t is needless to say that these
theories are ia So in both conception
and practice. Death is physiological
process, and like all other animal func-
ions, should be panless.-Dr. Thomas,
D. Spencer, in Popular Science Monthly.

LOVES HOUR.

Loves most delicious hour
Is when the world is near,
So near that all would near,
should even whisper part
The lips with passionate message from the
heart.

If hand yearned unto hand,
Gould see and understand
Each tell, tale crimson streak
The pulse might paint upon the opsn

For then love hath voice
A subtle UNDERGONE
To lovers only known,
Which through proSaic speech
Goes tinkling like silver bell to each
Iae face may keep its calm,
Yet so Ger written be
That only one can see
The sweet mysterious signs
Traced like q fiery script on all its lines.
Thus, while the worlds constraint
ForhidS the enCircling arm,
And kisses close and warm,
Demanding lip and eye
Betray not either hope or ecstasy.
Yet, like invisible air,
Loves magic mesh erfolds
The securing sundered souls,
With web so deity spun,
That where the world sees two, Love
counts but one.
