A Hunters Death.

A Kentucky newspaper-the Paris

found among some old papers, gives the
following account OF the death of Dan

''As he lived so he died, with his gun
in his hand. We are Informed by a

the same process. The reason that otE-

is that they are in much earlier or lat

A Mronged Woman.

Job was a wonderfully afflicted man,
but as partial compensation for it he
had the sympathy of the human race for
1000 years. But it has not been 80
with Jobs wife. Nobody has ever
spoken a kind word or her. Oa the
contrary, she has been held up for forty
centuries as horrible example.
But for all that, we are confident the
poor woman deserves a better place in
history than she has ever occupied. If
she was sour-tempered, she had enough
to give an acid tinge to her disposition.
She was made to drink the dregs from
a very bitter cup. and ii is probable she
bore her troubles with about as much
equanimity as the average woman would
do.
In the first place she was suddenly
reduced from luxury to penury. Any
unfortunate woman who has suffered
this ordeal knows just the frame of
mind Mrs. Job was in.
In the next place, she was bereft OF
her children. There is no grief so bur
densome as that which falls upon a
mothers heart when the grave hides
her childen from sight.
In addition TO the accumulation of
sorrows, she was left with an invalid
husband on her hands. Job was COW
cred wiik boils, aud experience has
taught US there is no more exasperating
patient than man with boil on him.
There are wives, and good wives, too,
in this Christian land Of ours. whose
lives have been made most miserable
for days and weeks at time by a hus.
band and one boil,
just think, then. what this poor wo-
man had TO endure with a husband with
perhaps from five hundred to one thou
sand boils on Eim. Is it any wonder
that the woman encouraged her hus.
band to terminate his existence ? The
only wonder is that she didn't cut her
own throat in despair.
But these were not all the troubles
that Jobs wife had to bear. Her bus-
bands friends came on visit to him
and took possession OF the house for six
weeks at time. Other women, and
good women, too, have had to endure
the same afiiiction, and they can very
eisily account for Mrs. Jobs exhibition
OF bad temper. Job got worried with
the three visitors himself, and vet he
didn't have to wait On them, to clean
up their rooms, TO wipe the tobacco
Juice from the parlor carpet every day.
to sweep out the mud they carried in on
their boots, and To submit to the thou
sand and one annoyances that a male
visitor giveG the housekeeper,
1t is abou. time that somebody was
raising a voice in defense of Jobs wife
and saying kind word for the poor
woman, who, for 1000 years has suffer
ed the sings of unjust criticism is un-
complaining silence.
There are great many Jobs wives
in the world to-day. We meet them
every day. They may not have hus-
bands with boils on their bodies, but
they have husbands who go to cIuts of
evenings. They have husbands who
are selfish enough to devote all their
time to business and pleasure without
considering that portion of that time
OF right belongs to the woman, the
charm of whose existence is his compan-
ionship. The Jobs wives of to-day are
the women who are burdened with tie
cares and sDIrows Of this life and who
ge' no sympathy. And their name is

Penny and Guinea.

I'm London one can buy more for a
penny and less for guinea than in any
other place on earth"
This was the dictum OF one the Unit
ed states ministers accredited to the
court of st. James some time ago, my
memory wavering between Mr.. Motley
and Mr.. Marcy as the originator of the
remark. Whichever gentleman actual
ly uttered the words Of no. very vital
Importance, the truth of the statement
is incontrovertible, and is as pslpable in
Mr.. Phelps time as it was In Mr..
Marcy's.
think the one great reason why
there is such difference between the
purchasing power Of the guinea-the
former coin being relatively so much
more valuable than the latter-is that
England Is, has always been, and per-
slsts in being an aristocratic country.
In spite Of the great advance OF the
democratic idea in late years, and the
undoubted fac. that in some respects
England enjoys as great an amount of
freedom as any republic OF our day, II Is
nevertheless, the case that practically
only two classes of people are recognized
in England, namely, the rich and the
poor, the aIistocratic ard the pleheian.
The rich are very rich the poor are
very poor. a guinea is nothing to the
former penny a great deal to the
latter. Hence, as little as possible is
given to the rich for their guinea as
much as possible to the poor for their
penny.
In making this positive statement
Pm aware that l am laying myself open
to a counter argument of great strength,
which would truthfully indicate the ex-
istence of an most important element of
English life, 20 wit the middle section
of the community an enormous body
which ranges between the aIistocracy
and the ple6eins in endless gTadations,
touching the upper ranks on the one
side, and the lower on the other. The
question would take some time 10
thresh out, bat being so, would indubi-
ta6ly prove that, as have sai6, the
population of England is separated into
