at heart.

The Revolution was Miss Anthony's
enterprise, and in the attempt to sustain
it she lost not only her own money, but
that which had been loaned by her brother
and friends. She bravely maintained it
till it became q forlorn hope, and then
she relinquished it into hands which she
believed stronger than her own. For
the next few years she worked and
laborcd 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
Anthony was born at South Adams on
February Is, 1920. She is of Quaker
parentage, and was for fifteen years a
teacher. Her features are regular, her
face Of a fine, strong type, which has
lost the "rugged" and somewhat an
tagonistic expression, quite foreign to
her nature which it formerly bore, for
she is one of the most tolerant, most for
giving of mortals, severe only to herself.
Since 1852 she has been associated with
the suffrage movement, but was previ-
ously and always distinguished for zeal
in the temperance and other questions.
She is not a writer aud dislikes 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 development under masculine educa-
ton and training. Her public life and
that of Mrs. Stanton has been one of
speeches and resolutions, conventions
and flying travel. Not luxurious
Journeys in Pullman palace cars, with
EXPENSIVE hotels and hotel fare at the
termination, but hard night and day
travelling by the cheapest modes and at
the least expense, snatching a hasty
meal here and there: as time and the con-
tents of q slender purse permitted.
All this is changed now. "Susan"
has earned her rest, and she takes it in
the home which Mrs. Stanton succeeded
in earning for herself in Tenaily, N. j.,
in the midst of her friends family, of
which she is as much q part as if she
belonged 10 it by blood. Here they
write the history they have helped so
much to make, and whatever may be the
individual opinion in regard to their
work, credit has at least been given to
their courage, their martyr-like spirit,
their constancy, their unselish devotion,
their true womanliness and the substan-
tial benefits they have been largely the
means of comforting upon their own sex,
so that Mrs. Stanton's daughter may
we'll say that one woman, at least, is
glad to acknowledge that her life has
been made better because those two
women have lived.

he troubles between yourself ana your

the troubles between yourself ana your
wife"
The judge, a most devoted husband,
turned pale and asked agitatedly.
"What do you mean2 What have you
heard?"
"Nothing," replied Mrs. Stanton Sc
renely, the merry smile no doubt twitch-
ing on her lips. 'But as your wife has
now a separate estate and you predicted
such unhappiness as the result of this
law, l presumed you were now on the
eve of divorce"
The judge joined heartily in the laugh
at his own expense.
Mrs. Stanton and Horace Greeley were
lifelong friends until the Constitutional
convention of 1868. Mr.. Greeley in
that body opposed an amendment to the
constitution striking out the word
"male" as a qualification for voters,
which was sustained by George William
Curtis, Charles J. Folger and many
others. just after a somewhat violent
speech by Mr.. Greeley against the meas
ure Mrs. Stanton caused to be presented
a memorial praying for its passage headed
by the name of Mrs. Horace Greeley.
The great philosopher was furious, and
in revenge decreed that her name should
never again appear in the Tribune except
as 'Mrs. Henry B. Stanton"
Mrs. Stanton was boln in 1915 in
Johnstown, N. Y. She was the daughter
of Judge Daniel Cady and Margaret Liv-
ingston, his wife. She was educated in
a class of boys at the Johnstown aca-
deny, and afterward at Miss Wizards
seminary in Troy, N. Y. Her W ex-
perience turned her attention to the diff
fcultics and disabilities of ONE and
aroused her strong indignation. Had
she been a boy her father would have
trained her with the greatest care for the
legal profession. AS it Was she was
turned loose amidst Coke and Black
stone in her fathers Office, but her mental
activity, her independent lines Of
thought and really splendid forensic
faculties, aided by a fund Of ready wit,
were more subjects for joking by her
father than for laying the foundation of
future cminence, although he was very
proud of his clever daughter. In 1910
she married Henry B. Stanton, and went
with him to London to attend the
Worlds Anti Slavery convention held in
that city. Subsequently they settled in
Seneca Falls, and it was from that point
that the call for the first suffrage con.
v~ention was issued, bringing together
three women destined to exert an i'm
portant influence upon the succeeding
years and their events-Mrs. Stanton,
Lucrctia Mott and Miss Anthony.
Since that time the lives of the two have
been wrought in together, although they
have had their separate interests, enter
prises and ambitions-Mrs. Stanton
naturally expanding more of her energies
and the results of her work in her home
life, Miss Anthony dcvoting herself al
most unreservedly to the cause she had
at heart.

Thanksgiving,

Glad in the sun.hino,
All things lift their voices
To the Giver Of good;
: And the whole world rejoien
Because of the love
Of the Father above.
Who knows His forgiveness
Will everlnorc render
A tribute Of praise;
For His love is so tender
That words fail to show
Whut our grateful hearts know
Then let all His children !
Rejoice without measure;
The great love Of God
Is our solace and treasures:
Since He holds us dear,
What is there to fear?

Yet, as one of the group of famous
women who met and asked for their
share in the right to individual life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness, with
out in the least FORGETTING or sacrificing
that refinement and delicacy of woman
hood which was her distinguishing fea-
ture, her picture, at least, must here
have a place. Who that ever saw that

that ever heard the tones of that per-
suasive voice could fail to be moved by

TEMPERANCE TOPICS.
The Hest Drink,


Water, water everywhere!
1t is the gift of God,
Sailing in the cloudy air,
Bathing the dewy sod,
Rejecting in the placid stream
The moonbeam's silver sheen
Ideal of the poets dream,
Home of the Great Unseen.
Water, water everywhere!
Mid rocky solitude,
LAYING the fields Of earthso fair
In richest plenitude;
Forming the rock, feeding the plant,
The life Of bird and beast;
And ministering to human want
The greatest and the least.
Water, water everywhere!
The beverage of Heaven;
Relieving i'll and soothing care
By Heavenly Father given.
Perennial is the mountain spring;
Eternal rivers flow,
And all celestial blessings bring,
And wipe out every woo.
Water, water everywhere!
Health giving, pure and free;
Naught else can once with it compare
All things with it agree.
Drink here alone, and drink your bill;
1t only is the source OF health,
The power Of brain, and mind, and will,
The spring of surest wealth.

Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake, as the
President of the New York State Wo-
mans Suffrage association, presided on
the occasion of Mrs. Stanton's birthday
celebration. Mrs. Blake is one of tho
youngest of the suffrage leaders, having
been born in Raleigh, N. c., in 1885,
Her father, George Devereux, was q
Southern gentlemen of Irish descent, her
mother q johnson, of Stratford, Conn.,a,
direct descendant of William Samuel
Johnson, one of the first two Senators
from that State. Both her parents were
descendants of Jonathan Edwards. Mrs.
Blake was q much admired beauty and
belle in her young days, and displayed
also much literary ability. She has been
twice married, the first time to Mr.. Frank
Umstead, a lawyer, in 1866, who died In
1859; the second time to Mr.. Gren6ll
Blake, in 1856. Her principal work
previous to 1870 was done for Rarper's,
Magazine, the Ecening Post, the PhilaS
delphia Press and other journals. She
published also several successful novels
and was and is a correspondent to some
leading journals still. Since, 1870, how
ever, her efforts have been largely di+
rected toward the Acknowledgement of
women, and it was owing mainly to her
efforts that the bill was passed in New
York State comforting the right of school
suffrage upon women. Mrs. Blake still
retains a youthful and attractive appear
ance, she dresses with taste and is an
energetic aud untirng worker. Her
home in New York is a pleasant. and hos
pitable one, and she has two handsome
and accomplished daughters, both
grown to ~womanhood, one Of whom is
married and now known as Mrs. Beverly
johnson, the other occupying the po-
sition Of vice-principal in enc of the
large public schools.

Frances Wright hardly belongs to this
group. She died in 1852, 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 indepen-
dence of thought, her uusel6sh life, her
sacrifice of means and position to the
spirit of her liberator, which burned
like fire in her bosom. She was born in
Dundee in 1895; her father was the
friend of many distinguished political
economists and reformcrs, and it was
from him that she obtained that large
ness of view-.that enthusiasm for hui.
mainly which was the aspiration of her
future career. But she lived too soon.
She spent her fortune and died before
any Of her efforts had ripcned into
fruition. But she was courageous and
sincere, a martyr to her faith and con.
victions, and deserves a high place
among women reformers.

Adjoining the Gospel.

AuOrn1n3 Tic UoSpcis
Speaking on the words in Titus 2:lO,
"That they may adorn the doctrine OF
God our Saviour in all things" Rev.
DR.. Alexander Maclaren says: "Let
US think for a moment of this wonder
full possibility that is opened out here
before every Christian, that he may
add beauty to the gospel. He may
paint the lily and gid the refined
gold. For men do quite rightly and
legitimately judge Ct systems by their
followers. 1t would not be a fair
thing to test a philosophy or a body of
political or scientific truth by the con.
duct and character Of the men that
professed it; but it is a perfectly fair
thing, under certain conditions and in
certain limits, to test a system OF
practical morality, which processes to
do certain things with peoples char
acter and conduct, by its professors.
It is just as fair, when a creed comes
before our notice which assumes to
influence mems conduct, to say well!
1 should like to see it working as it
is for any of you mill-owners to say,
when a mar comes to you with a fine
invention upon paper: Have you got
a working model of it? Has it ever
been tried? What have been the re-
suits that have been secured by it?
Or az it would be to say to anybody
that claimed to have got a medicine
that will cure consumption to say,
Have you any case? Can you quote
any cures?' So, when we Christians
stand up and say, 1--WE have a faith
which is able to deaden mems minds
to the world; which is able to make
them unsellish; which is able to lift
them up above cares and sorrows;
which is able to take men and trans
form their whole nature, and put new
desires and hopes and joys into them;
it is quite fair for the world to say,
Have you? Does it? Does it do so
with you? Can you produce your
lives as working models of Christian
ity? Can you produce your cure as a
proof of the curative power of the
gospel that you protest. So this pos
sibility does lie before all Christian
men, that they may by their lives
conciliate prejudices, prepare people
to listen favorably to the message of
Gods love, win over men from their
antagonism, and make them say {:
well, after all, there is something in
that Christianity"
When we pray for any virtue, we
should cultivate the virtue as well as
pray for it; the form of your prayer
should be the rule of your life; every
petition to God is a precept to man.
Look not, therefore, upon your prayers
as q short method Of duty and saliva
ton only, but as a perpetual monition
of duty. BY what we require Of God
we see what he requires Of us.-Jer-
envy Taylor.
