'Looking at the lives of these women,
and seeing the voter as he stands on the
corner ready to sell his birthright for three
cents worth of whisky, makes it rather q

close of Mrs. Stanton'S reception, and per-
haps she was right.

hardly belongs to this group. She died in
1862. before the work in which the women
here spoken of have been engaged had fairly
begun. But it would be difficult to measure
the influence she exerted in bringing about
the general approval by her independence of
thought, her unselfsh life, her sacrifice of
means and position to the spirit of the
liberator, which burned like fire in her
bosom. She was born in Dundee in 1895;
her father was the friend of many dis
tinguished political economists and re-
formers, and it was from him that she
obtained that largness of view-that enthu-
siasm for humanity which was the aspira-
| ton of her future career. But she lived
too soon. She spent her fortune in an I'M
successful effort to free the colored race.
and died before any of her efforts had
ripened into frution. But she was cour-
ageous and sincere a martyr to her faith
and convictions. and deserves a high place
among women refOrmers.

constitution striking out the word male

tanned by George William Curtis, Charles

somewhat violent speech by Mr.. Greeley
against the measure, Mrs. Stanton caused
to be presented memorial prayer for its

proposed, in semi seriousness, to impose a
tax upon bachelors. And it is Chose and
his brethren who must pay the piper. I'm
fortunate Chose! Must he purchase his
liberty by an annual payment, or must he
sacrifice it for the public veal? He does
not, of course, intend to remain forever a
bachelor; between 30 and 40 he will look
about him, and. after throwing the

young lady of hisacquaintance, will settle
down into Benedict. But he never meant
to sacrifice himself thus early and to lose
ten years of liberty. Life is so easy for
the bachelor. II he has large means at his
disposal existence is one long holiday as
long as health and strength hold out. Even
should he be less wellendowed with worldly

There will be dozen homes where he is
always welcome guest, he will have invi-

winter and the doors of many charming

mothers with manageable daughters are
setting their caps at him, and he is safe
from the cajolements of the young ladies

Happy would it be for him if he were
equally safe from tie wiles of other sirens

is another side to The picture. Bachelor

And the breakers beat on the outer reef.
And the surf on the wreck-strewn shore.
There's u wall on the ocean air,
And the storm birds scream and fly,

But, alas! no aid is nigh.

she lost not only her own money, but that
which had been loaned by her brother and
friends. She bravely maintained it until it
became forlorn hope, and then she
relinquished it into hands which
she believed stronger than her own.
For the next few years she worked
and labored necessarily to pay off the debts
incurred for the paper, and never rested
till she had earned the money and dis
charged herself of all obligation. Miss An
thony was born at South Adams on Feb.
Is, 1890. She is of Quaker parentage and
was fourteen years teacher. Her features
are regular, her face of a fine, strong type,
which has lost the rugged" and somewhat
antagonistic expression. quite foreign to
her nature, which it formerly bore, for she
is one of the most tolerant, most fOrgiving
of mortals, severe only to herself. Since
1852 she has been associated with the
suffrage movement, but was previously and
always distinguished for zeal in the tenn
perance and anti-slavery questions. She is
not a writer and disIikes to have to use her
pen, but she is
A NATURAL ORATOR
and an indefatigable worker. The only
barrier to success. had she been a man,
would have been her conscience, but then it
perhaps would not have acquired its de-
velopment under masculine education and
training. Her public life and that of Mrs.
Stanton have been of speeches and resolu-
tions, conventions and flying travel. Not

with expensive hotels and hotel fare at the
termination. but hard night and day travel

least expense, snatching hasty meal here

All this is changed now. ''Susan" has

is as much part as if she belonged to il

given to their courage, their martyr-like
spirit, their constancy, their unSelfsh devo-
