to rise. She. had sent report OF the
condition of affairs near her office and
residence, saying that she had been
compelled to go up to the second story.
but with no thought Of flight When
another call was made upon her for
further information. no answer came;
and later. far down the valley, her
dead body was recovered from the
flood.
There were many illustrations OF the
mother-love that is everywhere where
mothers are. Among the most touching
are those OF the mother who put her
seven children out of the attic window.
one by one, on to driftwood, and fifteen
hours later was herself gathered alive
out OF the wreck. with not child
saved; and that OF the mother who.
clinging with her two children to the
roof of her house, us it was swept
along, had rope thrown by which she
might have saved herself if she would
have left her children. But to this
friendly offer she only sadly shook her
head, stayed with her little ones, and
went down the roaring flood.
One reflects with sorrow that in this
country the, sex to which such actions
are possible are compelled, as children
are. to be governed by laws they have
no voice in making. The meanest man
has vote; the noblest woman has
none. The man guilty ofan infamous
crime is temporarily made the political
equal of women, who, without being
guilty of any crime. are permanently
disfranchised So we make history.

Instances OF Courage and Bravery OF Wo-
men In the Johnstown Disaster.
The press has given the public the
story OF the unparalleled destruction
caused by the great food in Pennsyl-
vania. Every chord of human feeling
has been thrilled, says a writer in the
Woman's Journal. by the tragic cir
cumstances of that awful disaster. The
generous courage of many men. and
the greedy hunt for plumber from the
dead by others, with all the attendant
horrors, have been told in the papers OF
the day. But out of all the ruin and
loss Of property and life, and over all
the agony which rent so many thousand
hearts, there rise clear and beautiful
instances of heroism which prove
(even in contrast with the depravity
shown side by side with them) the
nobility OF human nature. The finest
OF these occur among women.
