woman's Mission.

Woman has two missions, temporal
and spiritual. Both are necessary to
useful life; both are practicable. II
she follows the reasoning of an en-
lightened mind. and the dictates OF a
good conscience, she will fulhIl both.
1t Is surprising 10 see how many OF
life's duties can be crowded into a
home. A selfish. and yet admirable,
desire 10 heap all the good OF this life
on her own loved ones has brought
woman's sphere down to the hearth
stone. We will not discuss her sphere;
some women have larger spheres than
others. Woman's mission Is 10 do
good in an untiring, unselhsh, chris
tian way. Her duty to the home
should not be ignored, neither should
IL be magnihed. The mind selfshly crc-
ates the idea that the hungry can be
fed, the naked clothed. and the dis
tressed comforted In every respective
home; that the divine command Is
thus fulfilled and the conscience salts
fed.

The House of Representatives has
passed the silver bill. 1t is a meas
ure which really places the absolute
control of the manner and amount
of silver coinage in the discretion of
the secretary of the treasury, and
the secretary of the treasury is a
creature of Wall street without con-
science so far as the common peo-
pie and their wants are concerned.
A peculiarity disclosed in the dis
cussion of the measure was that
many members were opposed to the
bill, but felt sure the Senate would
correct it. They could not rise
above their party caucus themselves,
though they felt and were willing
to say that the proposition was a
wrong and an abomination A cor
respondent speaking of the passage
of the bill, says:
There was no doubt at any time
of passage of the bill. While the
caucus ostensibly left members free
to act with or against their party
as they pleased, party lines were
never more rigidly drawn, and many
who were opposed to the bill voted
for it, that party discipline might
not be impaired.
Referring to the feeling of the op-
ponents of the measure the same
correspondent says:
They blame the buIldozing tactics
of the Speaker in caucus, and his re.
fusal to recoznize members on the
floor of the House for the purpose of
making amendments which he knew
would not be in accord with the
dictates of the caucus, and their cen.
sure of the Speaker is not spoken
with bated breath.
Mr.. Cornwell, of Nebraska, one Of
the most ablest and most aggressive
of the members from the silver
States, says: awhile / am indig-
nant of the bossism which has pre-
vented a fair consideration and
amending of the bill, am perfectly
easy in regard to its ultimate fate.
A few Senators who are notorious
for their defense of everything that
is wanted by the great banking
houses will attempt in the most des-
perate manner to retain the worst
features of this bill, but. their inter-
ests and associations are so we'll
known that they will not have much
influence. am ashamed that the
friends of silver in the popular
branch of Congress must depend on
the Senate for relief, but such is the
fact, and they are well convinced
that their faith is not misplaced"

neck, she was calling him her dear
boy, her hero; she was thanking
him through tears and sobs. He a
heroi-he could have laughed aloud
bitterly at the mockery of it. She
was telling him that Ethel had come
back to them; she was awake again;
she wanted to see him-would he
come? With choking in his throat
he made his way to where his little
love was lying. Mrs. Van Zandt
softly closed the door, aud they were
alone.
White she was like bent lily; the
damp yellow hair lay over her pill
low and brushed back from her
white forehead, where his eyes saw
the mark of n cruel bruise, blow
as she fell; but her lips were smil-
ling, and one hand was outstretched
to him. He could not take it; he
sank on his knees at her side.
@Ethel, sweetheart. can you for
give me?' he groaned, aud with the
words the hoodgates were swept
away, and he sobbed aloud: "Ethel,
it was almost death-it would have
been murder, and 1 your murderer
atom, Tom," she whispered,
weakly, ado not frighten me SO. 1

now"
Forgive me, Ethel, say you for
give mel" She stroked gently the
brown head buried in the pillows.
"Yes, Tom, 1 forgive you"
And then he raised his haggard
face at last, and a great pity swept
over her tender heart. Both hands
were outstretched to him now, and
as he took her reverently in his
arms, she murmured so family that
he could barely hear it; "And love
you, dear, dear Toni"
