RAMABAi.

The little Hindu maiden heard voice amid the
lull
~ singing streams and rustling leaves, in
sfSves IN Gungamaul;
II s%cbi aionS the m6dntaia wind down to the
Western sea-
Heaven whispering tS the listening esrth;
Truth like the air, is free"
That word had winged her fathers feet from
lettering caste away,
To give his fiedglings liberty for fightin ampler
day
Then mans close cage-like code allowed; and
30 the maiden grew,
TO reach OF thought and insight clear no dim
zendna knew
Child OF the lone Ghatit Mountainsl flower Of
Indfa's wilderness
She knows that God unsealed her hps her sis
ters dumb to bless
Gave her the clew TO bring them forth from
where they blindly grope;
Bade her unlock their dungeon doors and light
the lamps of hope,
Bravest OF Hindu widows! how dare we look at
So fearless in loves liberty and say that we are
free!
We, who have heard the voice OF Christ and
yet remain the slaves
6f indo ence and selfshness, mmured in living
graves!
o, Ramabai, may we not share thy task, almost
diyincy
Thy cause is womanho0d's, is Christs own work
no less than thine.
The power that unseals sepulchres will move
thy little hand.

The Princess of Brazil.

The credit of having struck the last
blow at the shackles Of the slaves in
Brazil belongs to a woman. The Prin-
cess Isabella has been at the head Of
the government as the princess regent
for year past, during the illness Of
her father, the Emperor Dom Pedro,
and she has devoted her energies to
hastening the rather slow work Of
emancipation begun by the Emperor.
She summarily dismissed one ministry
that was not in sympathy with her
views on this question, and she called
to her aid council month ago, all
of whom are pledged to the immediate
freeing of the slaves of the empire.
Through the influence thus obtained
she was able to get the necessary sane
tion from the legislative branch. and
the great work mapped out by her
father is carried into execution by the
daughter, who will succeed the invalid
Emperor on the throne. All honor to

The Sublime Patience of a Modern Soc

The rarest virtues are often unrec-
ognized and apparently unrewarded.
An instance of this was observed by a
reporter in little grocery store the
other day. The proprietor was Ger
man. frosty-haired, but hale, diligent,
respectful and self-respecting. The
"proprietress, as she evidently re-
garded herself, was a stout woman
with an awful temper, which was in
process of explosion and, for the time
being, totally obscured any good quail
ity that she might possess. The brunt
of her wrath first fell on one of the err
rand bays in the store.
"You ape, you puppy" she ex-
claimed, "you shan't sleep under this
roof another night What dyer mean

you out O. doors, I'll give yer nothing
to eat, Fll-Fll-"
The woman's fury waxed so high
that she was at loss for words and
could only shake her big red fist in the
boys face.
All the while the old German busted
himself about the store, but seeing
that the situation was getting danger
Gus. he said mildly TO the boy, who
held his ground stoutly:
"Never mind, Henry, dot vor Min
nie's little way, dots all. "
This was enough to draw the attack
upon himself
"You old bag of bones,", shouted his
wife. IF you had the making of half a
man in you. you wouldn't see me in.

you'd thrash him. you'd call the police.

The old German made no reply tc
her, but observed to a customer

There are plenty OF cultivated, ju-
dicious. delightful individuals there
They are our hope Ahd Americas hope;
It is through their means that improve
ment must come. They know per-
fectly well how false and hollow the
boastful stuff talked is; but let the
storm of self-laudation rage, and say
nothing. For political opponents and
their doings ARE in America hard
words to be heard In abundance; for
the real faults in American civilization,
ahd fef The foolish boasting which pro-
longs them there is hardly Il word, Of
regret or blame, at least III public.
Even in private many of the most cul-
aFated Americans shrink from the
subject-are irritable and thin-skinned
when it is canvassed. Public treat
ment of it, in cool aud sane spirit of
criticism, there is none. In vain l
might plead that ! had set good ex-
ample of frankness in confessing over
here that, so from solving our prob
lens successfully, we in England find
ourselves with an upper class material
lied, a middle class vulgarized and a
lower class brutalized. But it seems
that nothing will embolden an Amer
lean critic to say firmly and aloud to
his countrymen and to his newspapers,
that in America they do not solve
the human problem successfully,
and that with their present metha
vds they never can. Consequently
the masses of the American people
do really come to believe all they hear
about their finer nervous organization,
ahd the rightness of the American aca
cent, and the Importance Of American
literature; that is to say, they see things
not as they are, but as they would
Ike them to be; they deceive them
selves totally. And by such self-de-
ception they shut against themselves
the door to improvement, and do their
best to make the reign of das Gemeine
eternal. In what concerns the solving
of the political and social problem they
see clear and think straight; in what
concerns the higher civilization they
live in FOOLS paradise. This 1t is
which makes a famous Fren eli critic
speak of "the hard unintelligence of
the people of the United States '-la
dure i'sintelIigencs deS AmericatnS du
Nord-of the very people who in gen.
eral pass for being specially intelligent
and so, within certain limits, they
are. But they have been so piled with
nunsense and boasting that outside
those limits and where it is a ques-
ton of things in which their civiliza-
ton is weak, they seem. very many of
them, and if in such things they had
no power of perception whatever, no
idea of proper scale, no sense of the
difference between good and bad.
And at this rate they can never, after
solving the political and social problem
with success, go on to solve happily
the human problem, too, and thus at
last to make their civilization full and
interesting. To sum up, then. What
really dissatisties in American civiliza-
ton is the want of the interesting, a
want due chiefly to the want of those
two great elements of the interesting,
which are elevation and beauty =

A FRcetlous COnsiderat tIon Of Base Ball
and Its Exponents.
Baseball is all the rage now and
arnica is IN demand. There are evil
dences of it on every hand. 1t is esti-
mated that not less than thousand
men will make regular busihess of
playing baseball this summer.
1t is said to be nice healthy sport.
A poet thus describes some of the
signs of health:
" His eyes were black; his face was red,
He hadn't any teeth at all;
When asked what made him look so sad
He said 1--WE been a-playn' ball"
The baseball player has no excus
for being wicked, His occupation
should teach him to lead the batter
life:
A Chicago baseball player has been
sold for $4,000, and the New York
World cynicAlly asks: "Now, what
would the president of the Chicago
Browning Club bring if auctioned off
to the highest bidderP"
Even the colored brother, who imi-
tates all the vices of the white man,
has base ball club. The colored UNI
pire has one marked advantage over
the white umpire. He can't get a
black eye.
Speaking of umpires, it is stated on
reliable authority that n baseball um-
pire was struck by lightning in the
West. Being used to such things, he
merely smiled and remarked "out on

Baseball is very ancient game.
The Emperor Domitian occupied his

of the rain.
However, 1t pays to be an expert
base-baller. The Yonkers Statesma,
remarks cynically: "Whcn baseball
player gets $5, 900 a season. and al
opera singer can only command ~, 500
it does not take long to conclude thai

No man can fully realize what ,
miserable game baseball is until hi

had his head split open for deciding

game happened to be wrong. Mock

HE TELLS HIS LOVE.

Hes not afraid to toll his love;
He's not afraid 10 speak
In tender tones, though they may bring
blush to either cheek;
a happy glow 1t is that lends
Its light to eyes above,
That wear a look OF youth and age
Because he tells his love,
he does not leave 1t to be guessed
AS many others do
INIT he's affecticnate and kind.
And tender hearted, too;
But in thousand generous ways
Is his devotion shown
To those whose lot is cast with his
To those he calls his own.
The children hal, h.m with delight
And round about him swarm,
AND closely 20 his manly breast
ne clasps each tiny form.
Gay i'-ughter freely bubbles up,
ind hearts and homes are blest
And life is brighter far because
True love is thus expressed.
He's not afraid to have 1t known
His happiness depends
On those within certain sphere,
On those he calls his friends;
And though with dignified reserve
The curious he repels,
By many gracious word and deed
His love he freely tells.

is opalescent and some have ivory
