A Strike That Woman Will Make.

Some day the woman will strike,
perhaps the sooner the better, not for
places in politics, but for control and
guidance Of social life, and we may
live to see the day when a man who
is not gentleman in all relations of
life will be boycotted and left to herd
with his own kind. There is no ex-
cuse for a man who is boor, who is
given to bad company and openly
INDUCES his vicious tastes. There is
a place for him, but it is not among
ladies, nor is tia compliment to man
who tries to be a gentleman, who
offers all possible respect to lady, to
find in his society, on equal terms, a
man whom he knoWns to be I'M
worthy. To taboo him is the pre-
rogative of the lady, and much as
they may rail society and its failings
there is no cut so deep to a man as to
be advertised as unworthy to go into
the society of people whose respect he
does not comprehend until it is lost.

"AANG THE BABY. I"

"Then you won't go Alice?"
"No, HERBERT am so sorry-but
the babyn
ooh, hang the baby!" and Herbert
flung out of the room, slamming the
door behind him.
Alice stood looking at the door,
growing whittier and whittier. Then
she gave & heart-breaking cry, and
fell on her knees by the cradle, and
hiding her face in her hands, sobbed
bitterly.
She had looked forward so long to
this particular party. 1t was given
by Mrs. Mountjoy, one Of the leaders
of society, and all that was eminent
in politics, diplomacy or literature,
as well as distinguished in the fash
ionable world, was sure to be there.
She had been kept at home so much
since baby had been born that she
really felt the need of a little variety
and relaxation. But baby had been
threatened with Group theweek be-
fore, and the fond mother had not
yet recovered from her fright. Baby,
she admitted, was better, "but not
fit" she declared, "to be left, at least
with only the nurse to look after it.
Nurses are so careless, everybody had
told her, even the best of them"
She had not asked Herbert to give
it up also, and even said there was
reason why he should stay at home;
but still in her heart of hearts, she
hoped he would.
"He said Hang the baby' yes, he
did darling" she murmured, with
indignant emphasis, as she bent over
the little unconscious sleeper. "It
was your papa who said that, and he
has gone to a brilliant party with
such thoughts of his wife and child!
Did you come, dearest, to estrange us
from each other"
This awful idea called for a flood of
bitter tears.
Herbert had said such beautiful
things in her trusting girlhood.
"Never should their lives sun in sep
arate channels, as those of some mar
ried people of their acquaintance did
never a JOY be accepted that did
not make them one-never a barrier
should come between them"
And now to think that this wee
babe, with its golden curls, this beau
tiful little helpless creature, should
part them, as never strong hands
could.
She pictured the gay assemblage,
and her Herbert dancing with young
girls, smiling on others, and leaving
her at home to die of heart break.
Her Imagination, always too vivid,
viewed him in his triumphs, until
her misery took almost the form of
madness.
"He didn't want me to CO." she
said; she acted as if he didn't, and
then he pretended to throw all the
blame on that dear, helpless baby !"
Suddenly she heard the sound OF
carriage wheels outside; they stopped
at the door; the bellrang, and fairy
like figure stood on the threshold of
the room, in all the wistfulness of eX-
pectancy, with dimpling smiles and
laughing eyes,
"Oh, Mabel" cried Alice, starting
to her feet with glad cry. "This
is, indeed, surprise. Pm so glad
you've come. My darling sister"
Forthwith ensued Il scene of. rap
turous welcome. Then the baby was
exhibited, and one would not have

A GEORGIA VOLUNTEER.

Far up the lonely mountain side
My wandering footsteps led,
The moss lay thick beneath my feet,
The pine sighed overhead;
The trace of a dismantled fort
Lay in the forest nave.
And in the shadow near my path
l saw soldiers grave.
The bramble wrestled with the weed
Upon the lowly mound;
The simple head.board, rudely writ,
Had rotted to the ground.
/ raised it with reverent hand,
From dust its words to clear,
But Time had blotted all but these;
"a Georgia Volunteer"
l heard the Shenandoah roll
Along the vale below,
l saw the Alleghanies rise
Toward the realms of snow;
The valley campaign rose to mind,
Its leaders, name, and then
l knew the sleeper had been one
OF Stonewall Jackson's men.
He sleeps; what need to question now
If he were wrong or right?
He knows ere this whose cause is just
In God, the Fathers sight,
He yields no war.like weapons now,
Returns no foeman's thrust,
Who but coward would revile
An honored soldiers dust?
Roll, Shenandoah, proundly roll
Adown the rocky glen;
Above thee lies the grave of one
Of Stonewall Jackson's men.
Beneath the cedar and the pine
In solitude austere,
Unknown, unnamed, forgotten lies
A Georgia Volunteer.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
Justly claims for it superiority over all REM
edies ever offered to hepublic for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever,or Chills and Fever, wheth.
er Of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure il
the direotionsar strictly followedand carried
out. In q great many cases a single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. It is,
however prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowelBi in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quirea cathartic medicine, afterhaving taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, single dose
of KENT's VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient. Use no other.
