a Young Lady's Idea of Marriage.

So she was going to be married! to
be mistress of house, settle in Lon
don; be able to go out into the streets
all alone, to shop or visit; have gen.
tleman all her own, whom she could
put her hnger on any moment, and
make him take her about, even to the
opera and to the theatre; to give din
ner-parties her own self, and even a
little ball once in while; to buy what
ever dresses she thought proper, in
stead of being crippled by an allow
ance, have the legal right of speaking
first in society, instead of sitting mum
chance and mock modest; to be mis-
tress instead of Miss--ccntemptible
title; TO be a woman instead III a girl;
and all this rational liberty, domestic
power and social dignity, were to be
obtained by merely wedding dear fel-
tow who loved her and was so nice;
and the bright career to be ushered in
with several delights, each of them
dear to girl svery soul; presents from
all her friends; as many beautiful new
dresses as if one was changing her
body or her hemisphere instead OF her
name; going to church, which is good
English girl s theatre of display and
temple of vanity, and there tasting de-
lightful publicity and whispered adlni-
ration in a heavenly long veil which
she could not wear even once if she re-
mained single. This bright and varie-
gated picture of holy wedlock, as re-
vealed to young ladies by feminine ira
dition though not enumerated in the
Book Of Common Prayer, SO entranced
her that time flew unheeded. = Charles
Reade.

WONIENS WACES

a writer in The Wonadn'S Joatraaa!
sends forth the following encouraging
words: / oftentimes think what noble
work for humanity our army of work
ing-girls is doing. The next generation
of workingwomen will bless them for
their patient pioneer work, Only with
in the last half century have women
pushed themselves into the various avo-
cations which had before been monopol-
lied by our brothers, who, having both
the capital and the experience, gave to
their sisters only the menial places,
with hard work and little pay. With
the meek submission characteristic OF
the women of fifty years ago, they ac-
cepted the lowly position, and worked
long and hard and well, only to find
that the miserable pittance paid them
would barely support life.
But the day is fast approaching when
sex will no longer determine wages
Woman is pushing herself forward in
every avenue of business life. She has
risen from the poor shop-girl into the
proprietor of dry-goods and millinery
stores. Instead of being only the copy
lst OF the tiresome law-papers, she has
risen to the dignity and commands the
fees of the first-class lawyer. Instead
OF the ridicule and scorned medical stu
dent, she practices among our best fam
lilies, and instructs by her books and pa
pers even the superior sex in her pro-
fession. From the humble, ill-paid
school-teacher of half-century since we
see her rising to the important position
of county and city superintendent, and
she is compelling, by her patient labor
50 faithfully performed, a large com
pensation. And in every other depart
n1ent where women are laboring by
their faithful devotion to their employ
ers' interests, by their work, which even
employers themselves acknowledge
could not be better done, they are COM
peiling respect and admiration. Their
work as workmen is becoming proven
bal, and their wages are advancing
Oh! my sisters! you patient, humble
toilers, despair not. A brighter day is
dawning, Your painstaking work has
not been In vain. Already although
your work of fifty years has had to bear
comparison with masculine work per-
fected by long generations of the accu-
mUlated wisdom of fathers and sons
the world of employers acknowledges
your eminent fitness and worth in all the
avocations in which you are laboring.
Your reputation once established, the
corresponding wages must follow.

MISS CHAMRFRLAIN.

A London correspondents writes az
follows; Miss Char toerlain still con-
tlnues in the graces of the Prince of
aieS, and is, am positively informed
ON most friendly terms with the Prin-
cess, Friends of her family say that
either her father, or her mother, and
generally both, are in the room when
ever the Prince calls. He is on the most
intimate footing with them, and seems
to have taken the whole family into his
affections. He admires Miss Chamber
lain beyond everything, and tells her
friends that she should have been born
a duehess-that her manner and bear
ing is all that the manner and bearing
OF the highest titled lady should be.
When it was reported last winter that
the Prince had gone to Cannes to see
Mr.. Gladstone, that was merely blind
He had gone to see Miss Chamberlain.
When he enters the room, the father,
and daughter rise and make profound
obeisance. Then ceremony is thrown
aside, and he is the same as any other
man. The Prince of Wales is admitted
to be one of the most fascinating men in
Europe, and his attentions to Young
iauy, pc Sifo ever 50 IuucH Oi an AIneTl-
can and republican, are very likely to
turn her head. 1t is said that so far she
regards him simply as friend, and,
knowing the nature of American girls,
| can well believe this to be true. Miss
Chamberlain seems to be in favor with
other members of the Royal family, as
she has recently made long visit to
the Duke and Duchess of Albany. The
Chamberlains are well-to-do Cleveland
people, and are evidently fattered by
the attentions of a Prince. The friends
of the family who told me these partic-
ulars say that the father and mother
speak most enthusiastically of his Royal
Highness. They think that he is the
most unsophisticated as well as the most
agreeable man they have ever met"

WOMEN OF CHINA.

OF all women in the world the ladies
of China are probably kept in the clos
est bondage, for, while they are COM
PEELED to render to their parents an obe-
dience more absolute than is praetlced
in any country, with the acquisition of
husbands they find themselves commit
ted not only to complete acquiescence
in the wills of their lords, but also to a
veritable bondage to their fathers and
mothers-in-law. This last consideration,
coupled with the inevitable doubt
whether each will be the only star TO
shine in her new sphere, deprives mat
rimony of that charm which generally
surrounds it in the eyes of maidens.

Memory,

A mans memory is like his stomach.
To do its best work it must have good
treatment. 1t must neither be neglect
ed nor overloaded. 1t can easily be so
neglected by abuse, or by irregular or
unsystematic employment, as to become
chiefly cause of annoyance and dis
comfort; or, again, it can be so over
worked and heavily taxed that it be-
comes practically the chief organ or
agent Of the entire system; every other
portion dwindling in its comparison.
The latter course Is the great danger of
those who value the help of tenacious
memory.
Both memory and stomach are yalua-
bic, not in proportion to the burdens
they can carry, but in proportion to
their training for their part in the work
of the system as a whole; and either of
them is made effective as much by what
is kept from it, as by what is packed
into It's. s.. Times.

The fare at the country tavern was

Few churches were warmed. The
older ladies carried ''foot-stoves, little
tin boxes containing metal drawer, in

The term church." as applied to
houses of worship, was used principally
by the Episcopalians. Other Protestant
sects termed them ''meeting-houses.
Among the Methodists and Baptists
church architecture, without and with

frescoed ceilings, and all attempt at
ornamentation was regarded with dis
favor.
Church choirs were voluntary, home
made, and without paid singers. The
congregation Joined in the singing
more than at present. Singing masters,
as well as school teachers, came mostly
from Connecticut. Our fathers sang
with the spirit if not the understanding
of music.
Avowed .'freethinkers," infdels, or
atheists in those DAYS were held in a
disrepute now hardly to be realized.
They were marked men among small
communities.
Newspapers were rather scarce. Few
families took one paper. They were
dull, stupid, stilted, prosy sheets. The
village editor ordinarily deemed it be-
meath his office to give any smaller To-
cal items than house or barn burning.
His editorials were always on political
topics.

The Small Bow,

The small boy has many sports
known only to himself. You may know
that he is perfectly happy and mental
" at rest when he steals boat whose
oars are locked up, and paddles around
with picket that fills his hands with

haps, not so happy as when sitting in a

Is it Worth While.

Is it worth while to iostle a brother,
Bearing his load on the rough road OF life?
Is it worth while that we jeer at each other,
In blackness of heart that we war to the
knife?
GOO ply is all in our pitiful strife.
God pity us all as we jostle each other:
God pardon us all for the triumphs we feel
When u fellow goes down meath his load on
the heather
Pierced to the heart; words are keener than
steel.
And mightier far for woe than veal.
We're ii not well in this brief life's journey,
On over the isthmus, down into the tide,
We gave him q fish instead of serpent,
Ere folding the hands to he and abide
Forever, and aye. in the dust at slider
Look at the roses saluting each other;
Look at the herds all in peace on the plain.
Man, and man only, makes war on his brother,
a nd laughs in his heart al his peril and pain,
Shamed by the beasts that go down on the
plain.
Is 1t worth while that we battle to humble
Some poor fellow down into the dust?
God pity US ALL Time too soon viii tumble
All of us together, ike leaves In gust,
Humbled, indeed, down into the dust.
