Grants wife.
Memrllls Ayalanehe.

While the nation mourns the quiet, pa
ticnt man of power, whose title to great
ness was proved by his simplicity, there
is u quiet, patient woman watching by
the cold clay that was once her husband,
who may well claim Il thought The
world heard little OF Grant from himself,
He was not, so far as we know, aNcrse to
ostentation. He was simply without the
love of IL. He made no pretensc of sim
plicity. That "deVil's darling sin, the
pride that apes humility" he did not
possess.
Mrs. Grant has been as quiet and I'M
assuming as her husband At least none
has heard of her from herself And yet,
where great power has been exhibited
and great success attained, the quiet,
faithful, toiling, silent partner must
have been an everything fountain of in
spiration.
"As unto the bow the string is, so unto
man is womann The world knows the
tough fiber of the yew that winged the ar
row. The world hears OF and talks of the
deeds of the man, his worth, his intel
lect, his power and his fame as it blaZes
aloft, and she sits and basks in It's cfful-
g6nce satisfied They two are one. His
fame is hers.
Wherever there is lofty character, high
success and noble deeds, there is a quiet,
earnest, faithful woman's silent, calm,
unvarying influence asserting itself unob-
trusively, eXerted unconsciously to her,
and in general perhaps with as little
direct recognition by the other partner.
It may be that sometimes this silent
partner is ono who seems rather TO have
of hn lffo fhnN ~ ha, han,, a
daily part of 1t. 1t is not seldom perhaps
that it Is only some eternally cherished
memory to which the man Is ever faith
tul, his ideal and guardian angel, such as
James Buchanan found in buried love,
TO whom he was faithful, never again
twining heartstring about woman's heart.
But the law of mans being is otherwise
and he Is rare man who can worship
from afar and receive inspiration and
guidance from the ever absent.
II would be Il curious unfolding could
we but see the dual life of that one per-
son--the man and his wife-among our
great men and know the exact part con-
tributed by woman to character and
deeds. 1t would not he wholesome we
suppose or IL could be done. We could
turn both with sentimental interest and
speculative curiosity TO examine
miscroscopically ithe part Grants wife
bore during their years of quiet
and uneventful married life when he
was ripening for the great part he played,
TO ind that tender, loving, but strong
w1ely Inspiration and influence which we
feel sure forms part of every true mans
HE aud its works. That the world Justly
accords the praise 20 him when they are
one need not prevent a passing thought
OF that subtle, gentle, loving and silent
power which is so sweet and yet so
strong and so fertile in results from that
one which we may be sure is also always
twain.
