SOJOURNER TRUTHS REAL AGE.

Sojourncr Truth has not sojourned
So long in this vale If tears as current
reports .nakc ont. Having heard her
spoken of as about sixty, twenty five
or thirty years ago, the recent state
ment that she is LOG or los years old
seemed improbable. The Rev. Sam
uel j. Rogers, in the Christina at
Work of October 26th. has unraveled
the yarn" hy quoting from the
narrative of her life prepared by a
friend at her direction when she was
in the prime Of life and her mind
was clear, and published in Boston
in 1851 the following statement:
The subject of this biography
was born, as near as she can
now calculate, between the years
1897 and 1900" All the incidents
and details of tho narrative which
Mr. Rogers had before him confirm
the statement. Two or three years
before 1910 she was first sold at auc
ton for 500, being then only nine
years old. At her last masters she
lived eighteen years, beginning in
1910, and had been there several
years before she was married, and
i'll 1928, when the slaves We're eman-
cipated in New York, her children
were small. She is probably not
more than eighty five years old, or,
at the utmost, eighty seven. Mr.
Rogers says very beautifully: Dur
ing the years of the war, Sojourner
was a welcome and frequent visitor
to our home. and it is because of the
high esteem in which we held her
that would make less of her age and
more of the real nobility of her
character. y Christian Advocate.

L have come to the conclusion if a
man, or woman either, wishes to real
ize the full power of personal beauty,
it must be by cherishing noble hopes
and purposes. by having something
to do, and something to live for which
is worthy of humanity, and which by
expanding the capacities of the soul,
give expansion and symmetry to the
body which contained it.

Sanfords Ginger for the careworn.
A Woman's Voice,

Says Lillian Whiting in the Boston Trav-
eller; 'The point of reconciliation of past
theories and present facts lies in the new sd-
iustment of the forces of the home. The
world of women is no longer divided into the
women Of the home who have no history and
VINO are never heard of outside its walls, and
the class who have a history that is one of
struggles, defeats, and denisls, but it is
largely the women of settled homes and po-
sitions who are achieving results that make
up history. New forces are entering into
life and rapidly Transforming the old condi-
tions and presenting society to US under new
relations. Individual development is recog-
nized as potent factor in life, and rs being
IN itself worthy and demonstrable end. As
society advances, antagonisms grow less.
Mutual federation, if not appreciation, be-
comes the law of life; but it is quite time this
csnoniZation of the commonplace woman
was ended. On the same principle, why not
laud to the skies the day lsborer, the hod
carrier, the bricklayer, because he docs not
aspire to careerr Why not embalm In all
Eteratures the assertion that the happiest
man is not he who Pounds an empire, or in
vents an ocean telegraph, or an eclectric rail-
way, or writes an immortal poem, or gives to
the world new theory of the solar system,
but instead the man who splits the kindling
wood dutifully, and is never heard of outside
his own door yard2 If woman is conceded
the endowment of intellectual faculties, why
shall she not express herself through them in
al the various ways her individuality may
prompt Why shall she not be happy in
having history, in having enjoyed the ex-
psnsion of various experiences, rather than
in having plodded through mere existence
that had in 1T nothing of lifeT In fact, with
most women it is true that it is not less, but
more life and fuller, that they want"
