MARGARET.
CarIot,a Perry.

Beauty she had not, neither place nor state;
Not hers tho gracious gifts that women
prize,
In learning of the schools she was not
wise;
She was not anything the world calls great.
Yet, In the quaint old Southern city where
She lived and wrought, in polished marble
set,
Comrnde of Jackson, Clay and Lafayette,
Her statue rises clean and white and fair.
Who was she, thus to win such comradeship2
Who was she thus, to be immortllli2ed
With the beloved, honored, idolized2
Great names forever upon llistory's lip.
A woman who made bread, who at her stall
Or by her bake shop door sat day by day,
Selling her wares in simple, honest way,
| A worry humble woman-that was all.
But everywhere the orphan children say,
"She was our mother, " and the city's poor
Cry ont, Twas she who blessed our hap
| less door,"
While from tho past the soldiers blue and
| gray
Do speak their praise, and every noble cause
Declares she was our helper; every need
Whispers, she knew not any class or creed
But listened always to loves higher laws.
And SO she died, and so tho people set
| Amid tholrhnroes- with IL proud consent
This simple woman-crowned monument
And carved thereon the on6sword Margaret
. gracious city he who runncth reads
Your pride In patriot fire, in martial fame
But In the place you give this humbl
| name
You prove your faith in loves divlner deeds

woman suffrage in wyoming.

Gov. +. l.. Warren of Wyoming Terri
tory, now in Boston, has written II letter
to the chairman of the committee on
woman suffrage in the Massachusetts
House, in which he thus expresses the
opinion of woman suffrage in his terri
tory 81 have been citizen of tint ter
ritory ever since its organization, and was
II resident there before its organization,
while it was yet n part of Dakota; and
from my experience and observation nm
compelled to say, in Justice to the women
of Wyoming, that woman suffrage Inns not
lowered the grade of public officials in
that territory. On the contrary, our
women consider much more carefully
than our men tho character of
candidates, and both political parties
have found themselves obliged to nomi-
mite their best men in order To obtain the
support of the women. As business
man, as IL city, county, and territorial
officer, and now ms governor of Wyoming
Territory, have seen much of the work
ings of woman suffrage, but have yet to
hear of the first case of domestic discOrd
growing out of it. Our women nearly all
vote, and since in Wyoming MS clsowhert
the majority of women ARE good md moi
bud, the result is good and not evil"

ExoITEMENr ON A srEAnrsHIP.
Tho CITY OF RerIin Runs Into an zce-


New YoBK, May 23.-The steamer
City of Berlin ran into an iceberg, head
on, during dense fog on Newfoundland
Banks, May 10Th. She was considerably
damaged above the water line. No one
was hurt. There was much excitement
among the passengers.
Mr. james O'Rourke, one OF the cabin
passengers ON the steamer, makes the fol
lowing report: The City of Berlin sailed
from Liverpool for New York on May
18th. All went we'll, the weather being
very fine and sen smooth until approach
ing the Banks of Newfoundland, where
thick fog set in at 8 p. III. Monday, the
| 18th instant, which continued until III y.
m. of the Goth, when il cleared OIL.
| The ship was run mt about half
speed during the fog, and steam
| whistles kept blowing, Mt intervals,
| Of about five minutes. On Tuesday morn
| ing at about 800 o'clock tho ship came in
| collision with nm immense iceberg which
carried away the jib-boom, bowsprit,
| figure head and oil gear attached, stove in
the bow, breaking the iron plates, deck
plnnking, iron ratings, NC. Many tons
of ice fell upon the forccastle deck,
breaking it through and going INTO
the hold. The two men on the
lookout had very narrow escape
with their lives, the fog being no
thick ut the time TINT they could not hee
the iceberg until il came tumbling on the
forward deck, whore they were standing,
which caused Thorn to run for their lives.
AT the time of the shock, Chief Officer
Iarleton and Second Officer Barker were
ON duty on the bridge, and with grcai
promptness Mr.. Barker rushed to the bow
of the ship to ascertain whether the
ship was cut through below thu
water line, Mt the same time giving orders
TO cut away the lashings of the life-rafts
and boats and to prepare them for lower
ing in case the ship should sink. Two ol
the boats were swung outward, and th.
others were being put in readiness unit

mnw Indians cn,ch EnrIos

Among our Indians the most highly
priced article of adornment is eagle
feathers. They not only use them for
making head dresses and ornamenting
their blankets, but use them as money in
the purchase of tire-water, tobacco and
other necessarics of Indian life. Among
the Blackfeet the mode of catching them
is Interesting. After holding mn eagle
dance the braves" repair to the noun
tains, where each digs pit and covers it
lightly with reeds and grass. A piece of
tough Buffalo meat done up in wolf
skin is laid on the pit. After the sun is
risen the eagle swoops down, alighting
upon the wolf-skin, which he begins to
tear. The Indian who is concealed in the
pit reaches out stealthily, seizes the bird
by its legs and drags it into the pit, where
he crashes its breast with his kness. The
return of asuccessful party is the occasion
of great rejoicing, und the plumage of oul
bird of liberty graces the top-not of Z
greasy Indian buck.

London Spectator.
War is, of course, economically purely
destructive. The men employed produce
nothing; the engines prepared are useless,
except for killing; the money expended is
most of it consumed ON objects which can
yield no direct return. Enormous guam.
titles of food are wasted iii transport,
domestic animals are used up i'll nnpro-
ductive labor, and the men slain are
necessarily among the strongest in the
nation. Nevertheless, the economic loss
of war is often not felt for time; and it
is probable tlat in the war supposed to he
coming with Russin this will he the case
TO nm unusual degree. II is by degrees
that the economic effect of war comes to
bo felt, through the agency usually of
| taxation. No nation cnn throw away per-
hups two years revenue i'll one ON lmprO
ductiye effort without becoming gradually
| poorer that is, without having less To
spend III giving good wages to great
| multitudcs of men. Suppose war to
| cost ESQ, DOC, 900 u yenr and the hmeri-
can war cost E120, DOC, 000-though much
of that is spent in wages, the whole is
| loss, for even the wages are paid, from an
economic point of view, fordoing nothing.
| When the war stops, therefore, there will
be distress, great or little, in proportion
TO the expenditure, but great or little,
equally inevitable, not to be kept of by
amy financial arrangement. 1t may be
rendered short, of course, or oven in
nocuous, by other causes, such as Il sud
/ den discovery of new and cheaper
motor, which by reducing the energy to
be expended ON producing result, posi-
lively adds to the national force, and,
therefore, to the national producing
power, or by the opening up of new
channels of industry; hut, apart from
these, there is no avoiding the economic
consequences of war. Wnr is waste; the
nation pays for the WASTE by taxation, and
therefore every individual in the nation
must, pro tilnto, suffer. The particular
war may be right, or unavoidable, OF
purely elf-defensiyo, but one of its CON
sequences must be this; and it is never
wise to conceal whit must inevitably
happen.

A NATURE PRAYER.
y. Edgar Jones.


Oh, birds that sang such thankful psalms,
RebulSing human fretting.
Teach us your secret of content,
Your science of forgetting.
For every life must have its ills
You, too, have times of SORROW
Teach us, like you, to lay them by
And sing again tomorrow;
For gems of BLACKLIST jet may rest
Within golden setting,
And he is wise who understands
The science Of forgetting.
Oh, palms that bow before the gale
Until its peaceful ending,
Teach us uryielding, linked with strength,
Your graceful art of bending:
For every tree must meet the storm,
Each heart encounter sorrow
Teach us, like you, to bow, that we
May stand erect tomorrow;
For there is strength In humble grace-
Its wise disciples shielding
And he IL strong who understands
The happy art of yielding.
oh, brook which laughs all night all day,
With voice of sweet seduction,
Teach us your art of laughing more
At every new obstruction;
| For every life has eddies deep
And rapids flercely dashing
Sometimes through gloomy cayern5 forced
Sometimes in sunlight flashing;
Yet there is wisdom In your way,
i Your laughing waves and wimples;
| Teach us your gospel built OF smiles,
The secret of your dimples.
| Oh, oaks that stand In forest ranks,
Tall, strong, erect and slightly,
Your branches arched in noblest grace,
Your leaflets laughing lightly.
Teach us your firm and quiet strength,
Your secrets of extraction
| From Shiny darkness In the soil
The grace of life and action;
| For they are rich who understand
The secret of combining
| The good deep hidden In the earth
With that where suns arc shining.
Oh, myriad forms of earth and mir,
OF lake, and sea, and river,
Which make our landscapes glad and fair
To glorify the giyer;
Teach us to learn the lessons hid
In each familiar feature,
The mystery which so perfeets
Each low or lofty creatuIe;
| For God Is good, and life is sweet, .. ."
While suns are brightly shining
| To glad the glooms and and thus rebuke
Our follies of repining.
Each night Is followed by Its day,
Each storm by falrer weather,
/ While all the works of nature sing
Their psalms Of joy together.
Then learn, o heart, their songs OF hopcl
Cease soul, thy thankless sorrow;
For though the clouds be dark to-day,
The sun shall shine Tomorrow;
, Learn we'll, from bird and tree and rill,
The sins of dark resentment;
And know the greatest gift of God
a Is filth and sweet contentment.
