been hoped for. The three committees
In Texas & Pacific have at present suhl-

Like these poor sparrows in the snow
Your song would hardly then be heard
And saying this, took the seed
Of rape and hemp from Folly's cage,
At which its little soul of greed
Protested with terrific rage.
And with liberal hand l cast
The food upon the wintery blast.
The twigs let fall flaky shower,
And never was summer bower
More vocal with the twittered glee
Of birds than was that icy tree.
They saw the seeds. But what did they?
One, then the other, flew away.
VeNed at the silly things-to spurn
The food that they must surely need
Signing, was about to turn,
Thinking that | would no more heed
Sweet PHYS voice-that nature knew
Better than | did what to do
For her poor children-when my ear
Caught sound of chirp and futter near,
Looking again, | saw below
A score Of sparrows on the snow.
Here was a lesson sweetly taught
By Nature, Coveliest of teachers,)
The two lone birds that I had thought
Such silly, thankless little creatures
Had flown to tell their mates where they
Might find feast that snowy day,
And down they come from trees and ewes
Like wind blown brown autumnal leaves
And soon the snow, all tracks and trails,
Was full of pert, sky-tilted tails.

4 Debate on Women.

A Western correspondent sends
the following:
| recently listened to debate in
one of the school lyceums Of this
city upon the novel and momentOus
question Of woman suffrage"
The debater upon the "anti-wo-
man side was doubtless engaged
in his first effort, and this fact, to-
gether with a slight impediment of
speech, and a most original series Of
arguments, combined to produce one
of the funniest and most unanswera-
bic speeches that l had ever heard.
Here it is, almost In full:
" Ladies and gentlemen, the 6rst
thing to find out Is w-w-what man
was m-made for, and what w-w-wO-
man was made for. God created
Adam first, and put him in the Gar
den of Eden. Tthen he made Eve,
and p-put her there too. If he
hadn't c-c-created Eve, there never
would have been all the s-s-sin there
Is now in this w-world. If be hadn't
made Eve, she never would have
p-p-picked the apple and eaten it.
E-n-no, she never would have pick
ed it and g-g-given it to Adam to
eat. Paul in bis epistles says WV
women should keep still. And be-
sides, Ladies and gentlemen. women
couldn't fill the offices, | d-d-defy
any one to p-point out a woman il
this city or c-c-county that could be
sheriff. Would a woman t-turn out
in the dead Of night to track and
arrest m-m-murderer? / say n-no :
Ten to one she teould elope lc-acith
him ?" And amid thunders of ap-
plause and laughter the gallant de-
fender of mans rights triumphantly
took his seat

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

Laugh. and the world laughs with you :
Weep, and you weep alone,
For the brave old earth must borrow its
mirth.
1t has trouble enough of its own
Sing, and the hills viii answer,
Sigh, it Is lost oH the air
The echoes rebound to joyful sound
And shrink from voieing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you,
Grieye, and they turn and go:
They want full measure of your pleasure,
But they do not want your woe,
Be glad, and your friends are many,
BE sad, and you lose them all
There are none to decline your nectared
wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded
Fast, and the world goes by,
Forget and forgiye-it helps you to live,
But no man can help you TO die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long aud lordly train,
But, one by one, we must all march on
Through the narrow aisle of pain.
