A TESTIMONIAL TO A MINISTER.

WAvERLY, Mo-, March 20, 1886.
The good people Of Waverly never do
things by halves. They gave their pastor, Rev.
]. E. Barks Of the Presbyterian church and
his family very loving, cordial and tender
welcome, then spread before them an abuu-
dant, delicate and elegant hospitality till they
could get to house keeping. This was not all.
One Of our excellent elders. the captain, went
to Columbia to hear Talmage lecture, and by
. fortunate set Of circumstances secured the
privilege of carrying Talmage's grip sack
from the cars to the carriage. This was an
honor not to be meekly worn by the captain,
and not for one waking moment could he for
get or let his friends lose sight of the fact thai
he had "packed Tslmage's baggage" Help
ing preacher bear his burdens is not an I'M
usual thing for him, but his great delight.
Many of our citizens possess the same ex-
cellent spirit. which was demonstrated last
Friday evening, at which time they all came
to the pastors house, bringing bundles, bas-
kets and packages of many kinds, which they
gleefullY and gracefully deposited around the
rooms. The gifts which the Sunday school
children brought were especially pleasing to
the pastor. Another gratifying circumstance
was the name of the giver was on each pres
ent. What could the grateful pastor do but
praise God from whom all blessings flow:
Then tell our Heavely Father his Joy and call
down Hie abundant blessings on their hearts.
They, soon after the prayer, said good night,
but next morning the pantry shelves began
| to look more respectable than they had been.
May our excellent elder some day be per-
mitted to ''pack" Queen Victorla's bandbox.
May peace and plenty ever preside at the
boards and happiness reign supreme in the
homes of sll the Waverly people.

Houses are scarcer and rent higher

awe have q good deal of trouble
lately with servants" said q family
man the other day, "particularly with
governesses. There seems to be no
place i'm the American household for
the governess. We have only one child,
and it hardly pays to have both gov
erness and a nurse, and 80 we endeav-
ored tor time to get some one who
would combine the two functions.
Finally we advertised for a nurse with
enough education to teach child the
commonest English branches. She
came, and we supposed we had at last
found valuable domestic. Last night
my wife ran around the corner to her
sisters. She came back and brought
lot of people with her, and they all
trooped into the parlors.
"The nurse was there. She wore q
placid smile, which was directed toward
q large and cumbersome gentleman

coal-heaver when not in society, and
who sat with an appearance of solidity

East river bridge on q musical chair

TO MY FRIEND TEACHER.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-N long
since there appeared an article in your
paper signed "Teacher." In that arti-
Gle Teacher seemed to be trying to
point out errors in schools about using
the rod for governing school. and in
which he or she as the person or teach
er might be. always spoke OF the boys
as being the only pupils, or as if boys
were the only beings who needed an
education. Now if Teacher will
answer me, l will let him know that
woman is a human being, and also
social being, needing a moral, intel
lectual, physical, domestic, civil and
ornamental education just as much as
man. But taking one at a time for
want of space, | will first view her as a
human being, as l want to let him
know of her existence as such. If
woman has the responsibilities of hu-
man nature, she certainly ought to
have it's advantages also; the privileges
should 60 with the duties, the means
with the obligation to use them. The
almost universal impression is, that as
the station in society and the physical
constitution of women are, in some
respects, subordinate and inferior to
that of men, their education should be
of a corresponding character; that Is, a
subordinate education for subordinate
station, and slender requirements for q
slender constitution! A woman with
some education will be likely to rise
above the condition of an abiect men,
ial, but without an equal education
she can never rise to an equal standing
with the other sex. The slight ground
on which their right to participate in
the best advantages of education, hat
been set aside, show that prejudice
rather than reason has Influenced
the decision. Let the claims O,
women be judged by the same
rules that those OF men are; let botf
branches OF the human race re
ceive according to their actual wants
and then no injustice will be done. We
shall point to the general elements ol
our nature as the only competent guide
to true standard of female education
and in none of these elements is tht
female less concerned, OR can she per.
form her duties with less assistance
The intellectual nature of woman
calls for its full share of cultivation
Hers must be an intellectual part. Sh,
will have through lite the same Occa
sion for mental vigor as if she had beer
born to other duties. The Statesman
and warrior have not more need O
knowledge than the mother of fam
lily, She must live among the intelli
gent, and contribute to their happiness
she must share i'm all the vlcissitudes @
life, and meet all its dangers with for
titude, or she cannot perform her mis-
sion as woman. 1t is hers to live, an
it is hers to die; and in what create
event can mankind be concerned
Both the ills of life and the terrors {
death she has to endure, with onl
such supports as are common to th
race ;and if it would be cruel to deny
man the solace of knowledge, it is eve
more cruel to withhold it from woman
Now if Teacher will tell Re what b
thinks of woman as human being,
will answer him as to what my view
are as to making her social being.

The Sugar Camp.
From the Columbus Dispatch.l

From the Columbus Dispstch.l
The sugar camp that have in mind
Was reached by paths that downward wind
From fertile fields to the valley, where
The naples held out their arms in air.
The freezing frost and the melting sun
Brought boys and girls, mixed toll and fun
The toll was to empty the filling trough
And the fun was had in the "sugarlng off,"
The sap was boiled in the freezing night
And the boys and girls in the glaring light
Would SIT and sing. or walk and spark"
Where trees cast shadows long and dark.
The sap in the pot that boiled and steamed
Was not SO sweet, and the fire that CLEANED
Meath the iron pot had not such glow
As the love their hearts had come to know,
'ris years since then and the maple trees
Are dead to suns and the frOsts that freeze,
But love goes on, as in other days,
For love has hundred thousand ways.

The beast begot of sea and slime had marked

who defiled her,
Ye left her there alone!

Retrospection.
BY LILLE B. HOPKINsoN.

Out of the sunshine of love and gladness
Into the shadow Of care and strife,
Oft wrapped in clouds of gloom and sadness,
Fighting alone the battle Of life.
Out of the sunshine into the shadow,
Oft losing in gloom the wearis0me way,
Like rudderless ship out on the ocean,
Hopelessly drifting day after day.
Out of the sunshine into the shadow
OF q nameless longing, haunting pain;
A something as nearly akin to sorrow
As the gentle showers to pelting rain.
Out of the sunshine into the shadow
OF hopes all withered in their prime,
OF hours lost, of foiled ambitions.
Which strew like wrecks the shores of time
