Country In which She Lives.
Let no man or woman be mistaken as
to what this movement for women's
suffrage really means. We none of us
want to turn the world upside down or
convert women into men. We want
women, on the contrary, above all
things to continue womanly-womanly
in the highest and best sense-and to
! bring their true woman's influence on
behalf of whatsoever things are true,
honest, just, pure, lovely and of good
report, to bear upon the. conduct of
public affairs. Some people attempt to
meet the claim of women to representa-
ton by the absurdly irrelevant remark,
for can not call it an argument, that
women, householders ought not to vote
for members of Parliament because they
can not be policemen and can not be
soldiers. Who wants them to be either
policemen or soldiers? There must al
ways be certain division of labor be-
tween the sexes. The physical consti-
tuition of a woman fits her to perform
society in high degree depends. The
physical condition of man fits him for
certain other duties, one of which is that
of external defense. And there are
certain other duties which men and
women must undertake jointly and in
cooperation with one another, and
from which the total withdrawal of ono
sex or the other is fraught with dam
ger and mischief. Those who are ir
favor of woman's suffrage maintain
that the duty of loving ones country.
of understanding her interests, of en-
deavoring to influence public affairs by
the choice of men of high character
and true patriotism to serve in Parlia-
ment, is one which is incumbent on wo-
men as we'll as on men. There is moth
ing in the nature of a woman which
fits her to be policeman or a soldier;
and there is nothing in the nature of a
woman which units her to love her
country and to serve her by helping to
send good men to promote sound legis-
lation in Parliament People some
times talk as if fighting for ones coun-
try were the only way of serving her.
Surely that is taking a one-sided view
of nations interests. All work well
done. all service in lifting up the lives
of others to a higher level, "All we
have wished or hoped or dreamed of
good" forms the real treasury of ma
tional greatness. /, have no wish to
disparage the usefulness, the necessity,
of the army and the police force; but
civilization owes quite as much to that
great host of silent busy workers, of
whom at least half are women, through
whose labors alone there is any thing
worth preserving, as to the army and
the police force for preserving it

SAVED BY LINCOLN.
An Old Soldier Tells Why He Honors the
Name of ssOld Abe"


Two young boys from one of the
towns in this State had early enlisted in
the Union army. They marched side
by side, shared the same dangers, ate
together and slept together. One of
the boys was not so strong as the other.
and often, after hard days march, he
would be quite exhausted. At such
times the stronger one would carry the
knapsack of the weaker, and lend him
his arm over rough places.
One night, after particularly weari-
some march, the sickly lad was more
exhausted than usual, and was sinking
heavily to the ground when he was told
that it was his turn that night to serve
on picket duty. The stronger youth at
once volunteered to take his place, and
although he, too, was worn out with
the double load he had carried during
the day, he took his stand for the night
with gun in hand. Toward morning the
tired eyelids would no longer stay open,
and he was found asleep at his post.
Then came the trial by court-martial,
and the sentence, to be shot for Sleep
ing while on duty.
In vain it was pleaded that he slept
but moment. that he was taking the
turn of a sick military rule
was memorable. The condemned lad
tried to comfort his friend, and then
wrote to his father and mother, telling
them why their son must die. At his
home was young sister, who, after
she had heard the letter read, at once
set out for Washington to see President
Lincoln. She found the President and
told him the story. and after few in
quiries had been made of the Secretary
of War, the great man with the kindly
heart wrote across the death sentence:
'tPardoned. A. Lincoln" go home"
he said, to the trembling girl. land tell
your brother to be proud that he has
such sister, and you, my girl, have
reason to be proud that you have such
a brother"
And those of the audience who heard
the story admitted that the pardoned
soldier had right to reverence the
name of Abraham Lincoln. Chicago

Ends To be Attained.

am in favor of woman suffrage, and
would vote if the right were extended
to me, for many reasons, based on the
advantage to be derived therefrom by
both sexes. One of my weightiest
reasons for it is that think it would be
the surest means of securing for women
the simple justice of equal pay for equal
work. Facts show that voters alone
have their interests properly guarded.
For example, while the disbanded vol
unteers of the late war, who stay at
home and vote, are a privileged class on
whom honors and emoluments are
heaped, and very justly, the regular
army, who fought none the less bravely,
but who are non-voters, are treated
with scant consideration in time of peace.
Moreover, believe that the exercise of
suffrage would train women to hiyher
thoughts and aims, and introduce re-
filming influence into politics, so that
women would be made stronger and
men finer thereby.-Mary L. Booth.

An Archbishop's Opinion.

The Archbishop of York at the recent
Church Congress put himself on record
as believer in the political equaliza-
ton of the sexes. He is thus reported:
''With respect now to the equal rights
of women we have been very long in
finding that out, but we are finding it
out; and twenty years hence, when
some other archbishop shall have the
pleasure of addressing them. he will
have workingmen and workingwomen
all together before him, and he ventured
to think there would be no privilege
which the intelligent women should not
have that men enjoyed now. He would
say there was nothing that stood be-
tween them and the happiness and
progress which God would give them
and the evil will of men"

EVILS OF TOWN-LIFE.
The Cause Of the Physical Deterioration of
Dwellers In Cities.


The general unftness and incapable
ity of the jewellers in our large hives
OF industry to undergo continued vio-
lent exertiOn, or to sustain long en-
durance of fatigue, is a fact requiring
little evidence to establish; nor can
they tolerate the withdrawal of food
under sustained physical effort for any
prolonged period as compared with the
jewellers in rural districts. 1t may be
affirmed also that, through the various
factors at work night and day upon
the constitution of the poorer class Of
tOwn-dwellers, various forms of dis
ease are developed, of which pulmon-
airy consumption is the most familiar,
and which is doing its work in lavish
and unerring fashion. Thus it may be
conceded as an established fact that
the townsman is, on the whole, consti-
tutionally dwarfed in tone, and his
life, man for man, shorter, weaker and
more uncertain than the countryman's.
/ hold the opinion that the deteriora-
ton is more in physique, as implied in
the loss of physical or muscular power
of the body, the attenuation of muscu-
lar fiber, the loss of integrity of cell
structure, and consequent liability to
the invasion of disease. rather than in
actual stature of inch-measurement.
The true causes of this deterioration
are neither very obscure nor far to

Colonel Theodore w. Bean relates
that Rebecca NJ. Wright. daughter of
Amos NJ. and Rachel Wright. was born
near Winchester, Va, January 81,
1888. ''She is connected by birth with
the Society of Friends, as were her an
cestry for many generations. Miss
Wright enjoyed the advantages of a
fair education obtained in the schools
at Winchester, and, at the age of fifteen
years, was employed as teacher. At
sixteen she declined further employ
ment in this calling and took a years
course of study at the Friends School
in Loudon County, Va. For three
years prior to the war she taught a pri-
vate school under the care of the
Friends at Hopewell Meeting, Va.
Subsequently she was assistant teacher
in a private school of eighty pupils,
but her pronounced Union sentiments
during the early days OF the rebellion
were distasteful to the management
and the popular feeling of the COM
munity. She therefore withdrew from
the institution and opened private
school in Winchester Her sentiments
were well known; she taught the chill
dren of loyal parents. and never lost
faith in the Union cause, or refused to
aid the friends of the National Govern
ment and its armies in the many and
memorable struggles for the possession
Of the Shenandoah Valley"
Miss Wright was appointed to a
position OF honor in the Treasury De-
partment at Washington in the year of
1868, in recognition of her distinguished
service to the country. She subse-
quently married William Carpenter
Bonsal. She still retains her position.
