Kitty Denies the Allegations.

To the LIGHT:
AS the Express says, editOrially, that
"in all deyiltry a woman will be found
to be at the bottom OF It," |, as woman,
ask the privilege of branding this AS a
baseless calumny on my sex. Ii Is
SANDER and nothing else. II man be-
comes infatuated with woman that has
never given him anv ENCOURAGEMENT and
puts an end TO his life the unofiending
woman comes In for the entire blame;
II 4 husband drinks to excess and goes
to the bad" his poor wife, who Is grieved
to death by the conduct Of her husband,
gets all the blame. Women are Infinitely
better than men-even the most aband-
on ed women have good traits about
them. Who is responsible for so many
women being ruined and usdone? Man!
How did he accomplish their ruin? BY
protesting burning love and lifelong
devotion. And when he had: accom-
plished their ruin, what did he do? Cast
them off like loathsome weeds and drove
them into desperation and vice. Women
never receive justice from men:

AND now comes the all -pervasive
Statesman of Austin to the front as the
ohump champion of Cleveland's democ-
racy and reform, and reads the veteran
Pulitzer, of the New York World, a cur
tain lecture on his misunderstanding Of
democratic affairs Clevelandishly con-
sidered. Brother Pulitzer can formulate
q more correct opinion Of the status,
policy, tendencies, popularity or unpop-
ularity of Clevelsnd's administrative
course in one short editorial than the
Statesman ia likely to surround between
now and next general election.
Cleveland's policy will be judged
and condemned or approved at
the east, and not at the west,
so far as determining the avail
ability of the man as a presidential
candidate is concerned; and that is just
what this whole matter Of personal"
or "party" policy amounts to. The
states that can roll up 100000 demo-
cratic majority are Of no account in de-
termlng the action of the party. All
such states can go it alone, 1t is the
doubtful states that are considered.
The opinion Of one Pulitzer will be of
more weight in the democratic national
counsels, than all the editors in Texas
combined. New York will have more
voice in actually determining the next
presidential candidate for the demOc-
racy than all the southern states COM
bined. So much for having a solid south.

WILLING TO REPEAT.

I've noticed that man can argue
on one side until he believes in it.
When l was youth we had up the
question (Which gives us the great
est pleasure, the pursuit or the pos
session of an object?" / was then
pursuing maiden with great alacri-
ty and pleasing prospects, and was
intensely happy in that particular
business, and as had been assigned
to that side of the question, spread
myself like green bay tree to sustain
my cause. | dwelt upon the eager
and fascinating pleasure with which
man pursued fame and fortune land
how vain and empty he found them
when once in his possession. / quot
ed Shakespeare and recited Cardinal
Wolsey's soliloquy: "If / had serv-
ed my king" etc., and l. sat down
with modest content, for the eyes
of the maiden were upon me and l
had won her smiles. Just then one
of the rollicking boys, who never pre-
pared himself, but just opened his
mouth and let it talk, arose and
said ''Well, now suppose, Mr.. Pres
ident, that brother Arp were pursu-
in pretty girl that he were in love
with just as hard as he could and
were. a longin' for her and dyin' to

TO keep her forever and ever, amen.

CONDITIONS OF SUCCESS.

Most young men desire success,
but few of them will pay the price.
They want to be rich, and if they
could 60 to bed at night and wake
up Astors and Stewards in the morn
ing, limpness would be satisfied.
They want to be learned, and most
enthusiastically would they share the
high distinction if education would
come to them in dreams, without the
drudgery of books and study. They
do not object to being Chalmers and
Irvings they object to the hard con-
ditions imposed. The years of self
denial, application, incessant toll and
tax on brain and muscle appall them.
These are the s'lion in the way''-the
king of beasts that few dare to en-
counter. Only here and there Co.
Hath of perseverance feels equal to
the contest. When Sheridan, the
English statesman, broke down in
the first speech he attempted to make
in Parliament. friends advised him
not to make another attempt. "You
can never make an orator." they
said, and counselled that he should
seek some other calling. But Sheri-
dan knew better. He had studied
himself. He knew that he was equal
to the task, and he answered, at is
in me and shall come out" And it
did come out, though by painstaking
that would have discouraged less per-
severing men.

An AnecdOte of "Jeb" Stuart.

From paper by General Longstreet,
in the February Century, we quote as
follows, g 'Jeb' Stuart was very dar-
ing fellow and the best cavalryman
America ever produced. At the Second
Manassas, soon after we heard of the
advance of Mcdowell and Porter, Stuart
came in and made report to General
Lee. When he had done so General
Lee said he had no orders at that mo-
ment, but he requested Stuart to wait
awhile. Thereupon Stuart turned round
in his tracks, lay down ON the ground,
put stone under his head and instantly
fell asleep. General Lee rode away and
in an hour returned. Stuart was still
sleeping. Lee asked for him, and Stuart
sprang to his feet and said. Here | am,
general.
General Lee replied, 4 want you to
send a message to your troops over on
the left to send few more cavalry to
the right.
Il would better 90 myself. said
Stuart, and with that he swung himself
into the saddle and rode off at rapid
gallop, singing as loudly as he could,

The Name Upon the Window Pane.

In the old Scottish inn we met,
motely group from every land,
Scholar and artist, peer and priest,
And many a traveller Drowned and tanned,
All pilgrims waiting for an hour,
Chatting in idle courtesy,
And yet amid the drifting talk
A little message came to me.
1t happened thus: restless boy
Unto the dripping window went,
Whose glass, SCARED with a thousand names,
His mind to the same fancy bent,
He sought and found vacant spot,
And took the diamond from his hand,
But ere letter had been formed
A voice accustomed to command,
Cried, "Phillip, stop; before you write,
Consider well what you're about
"Father, why should hesitate?"
because you cannot rub it out"
These words fell on my idle ear;
l said them DER and Ger again,
And asked myself o who would choose
All they have written to remain?
Unto loving mother oft
We all have sent, without doubt
Full many hard and careless word
That now we never can rub out,
For cruel words cut deeper far
Than diamond on the window pane;
And oft recalled in after years,
They wound her DER and DER again
So in daily walk and life
We write and do and say the thing
We never can undo nor stay
With any future sorrowing.
We carve ourselves on beating hearts,
All, then, how wise to pause and doubt,
To blend with love and thought our words,
Because we cannot rub it out!

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Much danger makes great hearts
resolute.
When all else is lost, the future
remains.
'Tis an i'll thing to be ashamed of
ones poverty.
Little things console us because
little things affiict US.
1t is the up-stretched hand that
meets the down stretched hand.
To have what we want is riches,
but to be able to do without is power
There shall be no success to the
man who is not willing to begin
small.
Things are UNDESIRABLE just until
we have them to bear; their possi-
bllity comes with them.
The yoke man creates for him.
self by wrong-doing will breed hate
In the klnQlleSt nature.
Only in a world of sincere men is
unity possible, and there, in the long
run, it is as good as certain.
A set of mortals has risen who be-
lieve that truth is not printed
speculation but practical fact.
Silence never shows itself to so
great an advantage as when il is
made the reply to culumny and de-
famation.
Scorn not thy fellow creature
there is some spark of good yet left
in every man, even though he be
lying in the veriest mire.
Bad faith on the part of an ind-
vidual, a city, or even a state, is a
small vice in comparison with the
calamities which follow bad faith on
the part of sovereign government.

A PET CAT.
FOR THE MoNITORt

A lady in Providence, R. l., writes
of a young pet cat as follows:
Zone day | was singing, and l no.
ticed that puss seemed very much de-
lighted. She jumped up into my lap
and rubbed her face against mine,
and kissed me after her fashion, and
though ordinarily averse to being
handled, allowed me to pet and ca
ress her as much as l pleased. Since
then, | have but TO commence sing
ing to bring her instantly to me, when
she will make every demonstration
of delight of which she is capable.
Sometimes when she is sound asleep
l will commence singing and she will
rise at once and come to me, some
times being So sleepy she will fairly
drag herself along with half-opened
eyes, seeming impelled to come. A
curious thing is that though Frank
and my niece have both tried to
bring her to them by singing, she
takes not the slightest notice of
them; but let me join my voice to
| theirs, and before | have uttered
more than two or three words she
will come straight to me, jump IN my
lap and purr and kiss me. Some
times when a tone seems to strike
her particularly, she will put her fore
paws on my chest and gaze intently
into my face moment or two, and
then rub my face and kiss me again.
And all this makes no difference
whether she is hungry or full fed.
Another curious thing is that some
times when she runs up stairs against
my wishes and / want her to come
down, though I call her by name
again and again, she will look at me
from the top of the stairs but viii
not stir; let me begin singing anC
she will invariably come down to me
At other times when | call her she
will not come unless she chooses, bu
always will when | sing. She ha'
never failed me once. We nigh
say she was charmed, but consider
ing the fact that | have had sor
throat and hoarse cold for a numbe
of weeks it surely cannot be by tn
music of my voice.

Chemistry Of Character.

John and Peter, and Robert, and Paul,
God in His wisdom created them all.
John was statesman, and Peter slave.
Robert preacher, and Paul was knave.
Evil or good, as the case might be,
White or colored, or bound, or free,
John, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul,
God, in his wisdom, created them all.
Out of earth's elements mingled with flame,
Out of life's compounds of glory and shame,
Fashioned and shaped by no mill of their own
And helplessv into life's history thrown,
Born by the law that compels man to be,
Born to conditions they could not foresee,
John, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul,
God in his wisdom created them all
John was the head and the heart of his state,
Was trusted and humored, was noble and great !;
Peter made meath life's burden to groan,
And never once dreamed that his soul was
his own;
Robert great glory and honor received,
For zealously preaching what no one believed,
While Paul of the pleasures OF sin took his fill,
And gave up his life to the service of Ill.
1t chanced that these men in passing away
From earth and its conflicts, all died the same
day:
John was mourned through the length and
breadth of the land;
Peter fell meath the lash in merciless hand;
Robert died with the praise of the Lord on
his tongue,
While Paul was convicted of murder, and hung.
John, and Peter and Robert and Paul.
The purpose of life fulfilled in them all.
Men said of the statesman, elbow noble and
brave!'
But of Peter, alas "He was only a slave!"
OF Robert-"Tis well with his soul, tits well; ~
While Paul they consigned to the torments
fhen.
Born by one law, through all Nature the same,
What made them different, land who was to
blame?
John, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul
God in his wisdom created them all.
Out in that region of infinite light,
Where the soul of the black man is pure as
the white,
Out where the spirit, through sorrow made wise
No longer results in deception and lies,
Out where the flesh can no longer control
The freedom and faith of the God given soul,
Who shall determine what change may befall
John, and Peter, and Robert and Paul?
John may in wisdom and goodness increase,
Peter rejoice in an infinite peace,
Robert may learn that the truths of the Lord
Are more in the spirit, and less in tho word;
And Paul may be blessed with hoier birth
Than the passions of man had allowed him on
earth.
John, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul,
God in His mercy will care for them all.
