CHASTEN ED.

How softly tread the specters OF our sorrow
About our sunnest way!
low gently rest the shadows OF tomorrow
Upon our path to-day
Beneath the laugh OF pleasures evanescent
The heart remembers pain,
And catches from the hilltops OF the present
The sound Of coming rain.
Yet not the skies ip which no clouds are drifting
Reveal the beauty rare
vi those whose vailed smiles are ever shifting
Their half-lights everywhere.
we turn unblessed from faces fresh with
beauty,
Unsoftened yet by fears
To those whose lines are chased by pain and
duty,
And know the touch OF tears.
The heart whose chords the gentle hand Of sad
ness
Has touched in minor strain
is filled with gracious joys and knows glad
All others seek in vain.
How poor life, where pathos tells no story,
Whose pathways reach no shrine,
which, free from suffering, misses, too, the
OF sympathies divinel
Some day our souls may face the Sun un.
clouded
And bear its wonders near;
'fis well awhile to gaze on visions shrouded
In earthly atmosphere.

Why They Would Vote

In the city of Buffalo, women are the
chief patrons of the public library. The
best managed philanthropies are theirs
They are the rulers in the churches.
Whittier, even though slowly, does all
this broadening activity OF woman tendP
Those who fail to see the drift of events
are like that celebrated bird of the des-
ert who runs his head into the sand
and fancies that, because blinded him
self, no ono else can see him. The
large majority of women do not care to
vote, or they would have done SO long
ago. But some of the most wOmanly
of women, women to whom in no sense
does the adjective ''masculine" apply,
are beginning to feel that the duty 0
voting is one which they will be oblig-
ed to assume in order to protect their
weaker sisters. The average yearly
income of the working-women of Bos-
ton from all sources is $269.07; her
average yearly expenses for positive
needs, $261.30, leaving her but $7.77 as
a margin for illness, religious purposes,
amusements, books. II was not a
suffragist," said public school teacher
of this city not long since, until I
came to reflect that if it should be pro-
posed to cut down my salary | could
not influence this decision by a single
vote-no, even though | have served
the city in my official capacity with the
best strength of mind and body for
twenty years. ITO working-women,

But the woman with ideas said, s'Wc

allies; the ministers who refuse us seats

men who recline in satin and lace and

ears to suffering humanity" And SO
she waits at the gate. And when a
poor half-starved woman passes in, when
corrupt politician swaggers through.
when fallen woman brushes by, when
dlunkard staggers past, she registers
her vow four-fold, Il can wait; already
the gate is ajar, and mayhap, in the fu-
ture, angels may roll the stone from
the gate away. '"--Amanda Wise, M

Probably the rage of the season in

Woman As Reformer.

Perhaps the most notable feature of
woman's work as reformer is her sys-
tematic method. This is what was least
expected. But it is hardly too much to
say that her great temperance move
ment is the best controlled and most
systematic effort at reform that the
world has yet seen. And it may also
be said that this and other reform move
ments and the great missionary enter
prises are bringing into view a more
notable class of women than has ever
before crowned the generations. The
mastery management, the eloquence,
earnestness, faith and power which they
have brought to their work mark new
era in the history of reform. Req. j. A..
