1t is a very common observation that
many very worthy people, more par
ticularIy among the rural districts,
have no fixed purpose in life, but spend
their days in kind of passive quies-
cence, and are borne along by the
strongest tide, generally toward the
glare and glitter of the city, or fields
and pastures new beyond the sound of
their village bells. Few people in any
of the walks of life cultivate that men
tai energy which is so essential to
marked success or grand achievement.
A transient impulse toward a particu-
lar end, followed by a period of doubt,
apathy and incidence. is usually sup
p1emented by failure and disappoint-
ment; but when some ruling purpose
or passion is the main object of a per
sons existence, then viii his thoughts,
aspirations and efforts tend in the one
direction of the accomplishment of high
and noble aims.

A PHILADELPHIA paper, in telling
that Henry M. Stanley, when he lived
in Omaha in 1867, fell in love with an
actress, who tilted him, remarks that
now Stanley is a womon-hater. This
statement the great explorers friends
Indignantly deny. Although Stanley
is not married man, he gives no evil
dence of hatred for the other sex. In
fact, one of the best friends he has is a
Philadelphia woman, toward whom he
entertains feelings of the greatest re-
spect, if not of positive affection.

Man


Demonstrations in chemistry have
shown that man, the being that per
forms these marvellous things, is formed
largely Of condensed air, or sOlidifed
and hquehed gases; that he lives on
condensed as well as uncOndensed air,
and, by means of the same agent,
moves the heaviest weights with the
velocity Of the winds. The strangest
part Of the matter is, however, that
thousands of these human beings com
posed of condensed air and going about
on two legs, on account Of the
production and supply Of those forms
of condensed air which they require
for food and clothing, or on account of
their honor and power, destroy each
other in pitched battles by means Of
condensed air; and, further, that many
of the peculiar powers of the bodiless,
headIess, conscious, thinking and sen
sitive beings, housed In this building Of
flesh, are the result simply Of its in
ternal structure, and the arrangement
Of its particles or atoms; while chemis-
try supplies the clearest proofs that,
so far as concerns this, the ultimate
and most minute composition and
structure, which is beyond the reach of
the intellects of even this marvellous
age, man is, to all appearance, identi-
cal with the OK, or even the lowest
forms of animal creation.

ONE of the most remarkable women
in England is Mrs Meredith, who has
created and directed the career of that
complicated organism known as Mrs.
Meredith's Institutions with degree
of unerring good judgment and won
derfu1 executive ability. Her father
during her childhood held an official
position connected with the prisons in
Ireland, and was early impressed with
a desire to do something to mitigate
the desolate lives of the women con
victs. Some time in 1860 she began
speaking at the Social Science Con
crosses and elsewhere of the evils
which resulted from the incarceration
of women at Brixton, shut off from
all beneficial outside influences, and
of the imperative need to make decent
citizens of the discharged convicts.
In 1866 she obtained leave to visit the
inmates of the prison, and many years
she made it her daily duty to go to the
woman prisoners with words of cOun-
sci and sympathy. Feeling that a
helping hand must be stretched out to
the discharged prisoners if their prom
Uses of reform were to be fulfilled, Mrs.
Meredith established a refuge for them
in houses adjoining her own home, and
later opened a mission on Chaplain
road, where they are employed at Iaun-
dry work or needIework, and no female
prisoner is allowed to pass from out
the prison gates without some attempt
being made to reclaim her to the ranks
Of honest citizens. These women,
though hardened by crime, possess
! one instinct of womanhood hard to kill
Love for their children and desire
to save them from corrupting jnfu-
/ ences.
