which every farmer can apply. 1t is
simply to observe your horse when he
is drinking out of a brook. If, in
bringing down his head, he remains
square without bending his limbs, he
possesses sterling qualities, and all
parts of the body are built symmetri-

of the world do not take much stock in men
without some proof of their genuineness:
we are wary and suspicious when we see too
much goodness in man. One of the men
l spoke to on the subject answered like
this: ''When man comes preaching to Inc
| can generally find some argument for him.
but when woman says anything to me l
can only listen-I cannot argue" There is
something about a good woman that, in
spite of ourselves. forces to the surface the
best part of our nature; base and unworthy
thoughts cannot livean us before her, but
melt away almost as the snow before the
sun. Even though the effect be passing
one. such is our belief in a good woman
that she calls forth in us something of the
same beautiful spirit as her own. There
are men whose surroundings in life have
prevented them from aSsOciating with or
seeing much of the innate goodness of wO-
man; or perhaps they have only mixed with
that class OF glddy. thOughtleSS ones who
think only of the pleasures of the moment,
and are hardly worthy of the name of wO-
man; but even those men respect women
more than they do men: or if they have no
faith IN woman or respect for them. they
certainly have none for men. for the men
they mix with must of necessity be as low
in feelings as themselves. Some claim that
men are superior to women; others the re-
verse; but my belief is this: A perfect man
Cf such thing were possible III this world)
is perfect: perfect woman is perfect. and
neither is superior to the other any more
than the rose to the lilly. Each is in self
perfect and there is nothing more to add:
hence there can be no superiority. But
even where this equality exists between man
and woman, the woman has. by the power
OF that lndetlnable something that she
alone possesses. the greater influence over
the destiny of others. What woman can
not Go towards the uplifting of the fallen
there is little use for man to try.

Faith in Woman.

Editor mirror:
When Miss Holbrook spoke to us few
weeks ago she said that woman, no doubt
could not do much towards the uplifting of
the fallen;' and again, perhaps some of
us did not entertain very high respect for
wOmankind." If Miss Holbrook had had
much experience among the class of men of
this place. she would not have spoken as
she did. have investigated the matter since
the Sunday of her pleasant talk with u.s.,
and l find my own ideas corresponding
with those whom have heard from: they
unanimously agree that friendly talk of
the kind we heard that day, was worth
more than the most eloquent sermon of a
Beecher or Talmage; and this is because
we believe more in the sincerity of woman
than man. do not mean to say that there
are not good men in the world, but that
there are more good women than men. Men

ApOthegms From Victor HugO's ''Les
NliSerableS.,,

Life, misfortune, isolation. abandonment
poverty, are the fields of battle which have
their heroes; obscure heroes who are some
times grander than the heroes who win re-
nOwn.
A smile is the same as sunshine; it ban
iSheS winter from the human cOuntenance
1t is an old law of envy and hatred
geniuses attract insult; great men are always
more or less barked at.
Babylon violated lessons Alexander
Rome enchanted lessons Caesar, Jerusalem
murdered lessons Titus, tyranny follows
the tyrant. 1t is misfortune for man to
leave behind him the night which bears his
form.
Certain persons are malicious solely
through necessity for talking.
Labor is the law; he who rejects it will
find ennui his torment.
What precipices are idleness and pleasure.
Do you know that to do nothing is melan-
chOly resolution; to live in idleness OH the
property of society; to be useless, that is to
say. pernicious. This leads straight to the
depth of wretchedness. Woe to the man
who desires to be parasite! He will become
vermin.
The soul aids the body. and at certain
moments raises it. 1t is the only bird which
bears up its own cage.
If one is not on ones guard, lowered
fortunes may lead to baseness OF soul.

with her white arms lift man from the mire
of degradation and hold him to her bosom

SO you have read in the papers of
drink that Lincoln took, have you? Well,
my boy, I've read of it too, and I'm not 60
ing to say the papers are false or mistaken,
but there's another drink Lincoln took that
mighty few of the nowaday newspapers
have ever tried. and it's the one would
paternally prescribe for you and press to
your youthful lips He drank deep of
liberty and patriotism from the chalice of
a nations cup of joy, even though it bore
the dregs of bitterness. No, you can't re-
member it, and perhaps tits we'll you can't,
but when you hear again of drink that
Lincoln took call the attention of your in
former to the fountain in whose waters
were washed away the stains of slackles
from four million slaves. Explain to him,
my boy, that such drink never makes a
mans hat too small. and that of all
beverages known to the profession this
one is the best for the blood. -Duluth
