Justly and CharItabIy.-


"The supreme art Of life, above all other
arts, is the art Of living together justly and
charitably-no other thing so taxing, rsquir-
ing so much wisdom, 30 much practice, as
how to live, with our fellow men"
30 said the Rov. Mr.. Beecher in his sermon
last Sunday. No need to comment on its
tIuthfulness. II he had merely said aIivine
together justly" without the acharitably,r it
would have had as much truth in 1t as most
people could put into actual operation. II
the men and women of this world treated
each Other always with simple Justice there
would be no need of charity. But in the
stimate they make of one another, in all
those common relations OF life in which peo-
pie meet together or brush against ono an
other, Justice, simple justice, is the excep-
ton What is called charity" and "charita-
ableness" is only a sneAking, inadequate con-
science fund which injustice pays over TO the
victims she has already defrauded of their
Just dues.
To be more definite: Notice two people
talking OF a third, and In nine cases out of
ten the unidnd things they say will overbal-
ance the kindly and appreciative. And
when an unkind or even injurious rumor gets
abroad about any one, nine people out OF ten
will accept it as truth before 1t is proven.
Now, there is no particular reason why poo
pie, when they comment incidentally on an
absent persons characteristics, should not
speak Of the nobl and commondable ones
rather than OF the ignoble. But they don't
That is injustice. II they spoke about his
goodness and kindness and largeness of heart,
1t would not DO charity, or charitableness, It
would be common justice.
Said a gentle, tender-hearted little lady
tue other day: why are people so unnec-
ossarily bitter and severei Now, there is my
friend, Mrs. A. She has some marked faults,
but her good qualities are equally marked
and much more numerous. Well, l have to-
day spoken with four different friends, and
they have every one referred sneeringly or
sarcastically 10 her faults. They are
good friends, warm friends OF hers, and IL
she were in trouble would do all they could
for her. Now, h l should like to know IL,
why they cannot sec that she is just as good,
kindly and warm-hearted on one Sido as she
is disagreeable on the other, and set one over
against te bother to balance it, or, rather,
overbalnnce it."
And that is a very typical instance Of the
way people talk and feel. They will not have
mastered "the art Of living together justly"
until they have learned 10 feel both sides of q
friends character at the same time. Then
they will find that IL they give justice,
charity will taks care of itself.

Other things being equal, an Industrious
woman can find profitable work to do as
easily as an industrious man. In fact, no
change Of recent years Is more noticeable
than the enlargement of what used TO De
called Hwoman's sphere" The sphere" is no
longer merely the nursery and the school
room, but the whole globe, bless you This
increase Is strildngly shown by a comparison
OF the last three censuses. In 1850 only 27o,-
s97 women and girls were employed by man
ufactureB in the United States; in 1870 this
number had become S23, ITO, and in 1880
531 $50.
The manufacture of artificial feathers gives
employment to more than 5000 women; 4 900
are engaged in bookbinding, at which only
5000 men are employed; $1,000 do work in
shoe factories; $1,000 manufacture mons
clothes professionally. in addition to the mill
ions who do this kind of work at their own
homes. 1t is somewhat surprising that moro
women are engaged In making mems clothes
for the market than In making women's
clothes, the latter being only 1900 In the
United States; 1900 womrn-Ind surely it is

The census shows that 2l7 make fireworks

The census must be believed, but this cannot
