should like to be in a position to answer
them intelligently in your own interest as
well as that of public order, and I have
come here to ask Of you some explanation,
which will enable me to act in the matter
with propriety."
The chief Of police had had some trouble
to reach the end of this little speech; he ex-
pected to be interrupted at the first words
and his little effort had not been studied
beforehand. But he found himself in the
presence of a cool man, who listened to him
without opening his mouth, and who looked
straight in his eyes. When he had finished
MIR. Brownlow answered him:
sit is fact, sir, that I have remarked,
too, for some time the crowds Of people
standing before my house. I am ignorant
of the reason thereof; so far they have not
done any damage to me and do not COM

After these words he threw himself back
in his chair like man who had finished
speaking and had said all he had to say.
''Permit me to remark to you, SIR" said
the chief of police, very politely, that the
present situation can not be prolonged.

with all its faults, and they are

recent speech, Il believe the present
marriage system to be the greatest tri-
umph of Christianity, and that it has
created and conserves more happy
homes than the world has ever before
known. Any law that renders less

alone renders possible pure society

build its utmost safeguards. and upon
this union the Gospel should pronounce
its most sacred benedictions. But,
while l hold these truths to be self
evident. l believe that constant evo-
luton is going forward in the home as

Entitled to Vote.

The general argument for letting wo-
men vote, says A. S. Blackwell, in
Woman's Journal. is the same as
the argument for having re-
publican form Of government rather
than monarchy. 1t is fair and right
that those who are to obey the laws
should have a voice in making them,
and that those who pay taxes should
have voice as to the amount Of the
tax and the way in which it shall be
spent. The fundamental principle of a
republican government, roughly stated,
is this: In deciding what shall be done,
where everybody's interests are con-
cerned, we take everybody's opinion.
and 60 according to the wish of the
majority. AS we can not suit every.
body, we do what will suit the greatest
number. That seems to be, upon the
whole, the fairest way. A vote is
merely written expression of opinion.
1t is written down and put into a box,
so that it can be counted.
In thus taking the sense OF the com.
munity, certain classes of persons are
always passed over, whose opinions, fol-
one reason or another, are not thought
worth counting. The laws of different
States differ, but all agree in excluding
minors, idiots, lunatics. felOns and wO'
men. There are good and obviou;
reasons for all these exceptions but the
last. 1t is evident that the opinions o.
children ought not to be counted, MOI
those Of idiots, lunatics and criminals.
Is there any equally good reason why
in reckoning up the opinions of the
community, no account should be taker
of the opinions of women If not, they
ought to be allowed to vote.

to Her Development In knowledge.
Poor Eve! she wanted to be wise; but
she did not desire to be the only wise
one in the family; she gave also unto
her husband. The serpent, the most
subtle OF all the beasts, seemed to know
which of the two most desired knowl-
edge. We can not defend Eve for her
disobedience and theft, but do we not
sympathize with her keenly in her de-
sire for more knowledge And how
severely she has been punished and her
daughters, even down to the present
time! The husband, with whom she
had generously shared the fruit that
was to make them wise, did not hest

THE HIGHER LAW.
Justice In the Household-senslblev Views
Of an Important Subject.

Happy the wife who has a husband
who appreciates the part she has in
making the home-the part he can not
perform and for which money can not
pay. Yet many good and otherwise
sensible women do not feel free to use
the family funds as they do the smaller
sums they are able to carp themselves.
even when the husbands are ready to
acknowledge their equal right in the
family purse. 1t may be partly the
fault of the wife. II she allows herself
to ask as "a favor what is already her
own, she places herself iii wrong posi-
ton. Her husband does her no favor
in permitting her to buy their children
clothes or her own. Yet often one
would suppose so from the grudging
manner in which he will ask If some
small sum will not be enough. There
are honorable exceptions-many OF
them-and one good man has often been
heard to refer to his immense indebted
ness to the wife who has worked for
her bread and clothes so many years,
when, had her services been paid for
as housekeeper, cook, dressmaker,
tailor and maid-of-all- work. she would
now be in comparative wealth. Mutual
love and common interest make every
privation endurable; and there should
be no thought of "mine" and chime
on either side. Then If proper provi'
sion is made for the wife in case she bt
left alone, she will not have to reflect
as many Borrowing widow has done
on the injustice that deprives her o
entire control of the home she has hat
an equal or harder share in earning
and making comfortable. So long a
the law does not do justly to women
every man should provide for his owl
wife. Rural New Yorker.

Fretting.

1t is only the occasional one who
can get along with more or less worry.
Things will 60 wrong in this Imperfect
world, and do so; they who have tho
management of them are sorry and
vexed and feel the burden of the mis-
takes and losses that are thus enc0un-
tered. The Bible recognizes this a.
among the evils to be met by believing
people. 1t tells them to not fret; in
structs them to be helpers in bearing
burdens; counsels them to cast their
burdens on the Lord, and seeks to ed.
ucate them into living life that
shall be without carefulness. Not
even concerning the importan
matters of eating, drinking and
furnishing are they to bu
anxiously thoughtful, but remember
ing that God knows their need, they
are to await His kindly provision. But
while Christian intelligence knows all
this, it can not prevent the anxiety. Sc
that in the whole Christian family,
even among its worry best members,
there is the ever-pl ,sent friction. As
also piety increas g the objects Of
thought and intere It, and, therefore.
concern, it must add to the possibility
of the solicitude. L is the Christian

Where life's rough winds are stilled.
Our hearts, embodied BY Thy grace
As in fathers strong embrace,
With Thine own peace are filled.
From tempests gathering dark above
Thou art our covert sure,
With eager wings, as OF . dove,

And there we rest secure. ffJ
As streams that bless the thirsty plain,
From Thee the waters burst
That cleanse away our crimson stain,
With cooling comfort soothe our pain
And quench our desert thirst.
When wearied with the burning sand
Where Turing visions mock.
Then close to Thy dear side we stand
And find Thee, in weary land,
The shadow Of rock.

We seek Thy sheltering grace;
For Thou didst bear the scorching heat,
And all the tempest's fury meet

Surplus Women.

A recent article by Mrs. Anne Wit.
tenmyer, in the Northern Christian
Advocate argues against allowing wo-
men to be lay delegates to the MethO.
dist General Conference, pointing out
that there are more men than women in
the United States, and implying that all
women ought, therefore, to be fully
busted in taking care of the homes OF
these men. i"There care no surplus
women in the United States" says
Mrs. Wittenmyer-an assertion which
would be more to the point if the men
were not massed in the Western States
and the women in the Eastern. The
same issue of the Christian Advocate
publishes the following appeal:
WANTED Immediately: For Chilli and
Brazil, South America, unmarried
ladies to serve us music and art teach.
ers, and teachers of the higher and
ordinary branches taught in schools. "
Now, If unmarried women can be
spared to teach for years in South
America. might they not be spared for
few wee;s to go to Conference?
Even a married woman generally takes
time to visit her parents occasionally,
and it would require no longer time for
her to attend the Conference When
we consider that no one is obliged to
accept an appointment as delegate who
finds it announcement to go, and that an
alternate is always chosen to serve in
case the regular delegate is kept away
by any emergency. this objection does
not carry much weight Undoubtedly

women are needed at home; but it j:
