A Chance for a IOrn Widow.

Some months ago an official in
Gloucester, Mass, received a letter
from Sing Sing, N. Y. A slip taken
from a newspaper was pasted at the
top of the letter, which stated that
during that year there was a large
number of widows in Gloucester &C.
casioned by the lose of lives among
the fishing fleet. The letter says:
1.-THE thought occurred to me that
there might be some one among these
widows who would like good hus-
band. l am q widower, no children,
sound and substantial, the owner of
two good farms, also hotel, and
have considerable personal property,
so that have the means to take care
of a wife. AS woman she must be
rs or 80 years old, be of good family,
we'll educated and fond of music. 1

children, as I prefer one without any.

as 1 have described I promise you a.
new suit OF clothes, gold watch, and
you shall have the first kiss from the

Women as Listeners,

Woman is primarily being who lis
tens. She has in these days lost mucl,
of her original teachableness, but she
has not yet entirely discarded the ap.
pearance of being teachable. In her
capacity for hearing without obeying
lies her true power. As a talker, she
has her peers; as a listener, she is un-
equaled.
If, as a French writer says, the con.
versation of women in society is like
the straw in which china is packed
worthless itself, but without which
everything would be broken-the lis
tening Of woman is what saves us from
. Babel of tongues that would bring
the sky about our ears in no time. Not
that woman is always, or, as a rule,
unwilling to use her tongue (there is no
need OF being RADICAL, but the listener
who encourages you with eyes and ex-
preston and appreciative laughter, is q
woman. She never let's her glance
wnnder, in an absent manner, to be
brought back to meet yours at an inn
portant point with an effort of which
you are both keenly conscious. To
whom are you tempted to relate bits of
curious personal experience, the suffer-
ing caused by some random shot of out
rageous fortune, the fancies suggested
by some book, some view, some Jour-
ney? To a. clever, sympathetic woman,
whose eyes brighten with interest or
sadden with sympathy as she listens,
who seems to anticipate your next word
with eager pleasure, and who, for some
reason or other, just then, while you
are in this confidential mood, has very
few experiences or fancies of her own
to communicate-only hints at them
Just enough to keep you in countenance.
