NEW YORK, June 13.-The New York
woman Of to-day is nothing if not literary.
She either writes poetry. novels, hymns,
essays on how to be happy IN various states,
or else she translates. For my own part.
I'm afraid of her. She is impertinent to the
last degree, for she has an idea that she
knows more than anybody else in the
world, and that you are yearning to be in
formed of the fact.
THE VERY PIoUs YOUNG WOMAN
A very condescending young woman
said &c me the other day, Don't you even
TRANSLATED" With a weakness that was new
to me l confessed that l did not, and she
said that it was a great pity. / thought
it was too. A very fashionable woman is
given over to writing hymns-hymns which
are, as she describes them, spiritual, with
q sufficient amount of material to be ap-
preciated even by a sinner" She showed
me one, and, as a representIve sinner,
must confess the meter was very much like
'Swinburne's " Faustine," and that the whole
thing was simply bosh. This was the first
verse:
"When the essence divine looks out from your
eyes,
o. believe;
And the downcast soul is impelled to arise
o. believe
That the worldly joys do. dear, this day,
Fade like the suns last warm sweet ray.
WHERE RELIGION IS A SHIELD,
The misguided woman who, like Mr.. Silas
Wegg. has dropped into poetry, is having
her hymns printed for private circulation,
and the covers are the most beautiful things
you ever saw-of white, with heur de lis in
gold upcn them, and q clasp that looks more
BIKE the three feathers of the Prince of
Wales than the French flower. II is rather
interesting to know a little about the life of
a woman Of this sort. Curiously enough,
the hymn-writinR being is married,
and speaks of her husband as
a 'kind but SHINING SOUL" and of
her'mrrriage zone where there is no sym
patky, but a mutual agreement to let each
seek that which seems best unto his SOUL"
Now, respect everybody's belief, but re-
gard that woman as proper candidate for
the whipping post. Her home Is full of fine
furniture, and pet is altogether such
wretched place that the SHINING husband
has been driven 10 finding what is good for
his soul at bis club and in the affections OF
other women. The lady who does the
hymns finds prayer meetings aud pc.
preachers sufficient for her, and consequent
" her husband is not needed.
Some day she will have to
die, and when she does I
don't think that hymns will be as sat
isfactory to her as she thinks, and It WON'T
be very pleasant to have recalled to her all
she might have been to the man she swore
TO love, honor and obey until death did
them part. Doesn't your heart throb when
you think Of the women who use religion as
. shield for their own coldpess and selfish
nses9 And don't you feel like having them
taken some place and killed in some horri-
BILE wayi They are the women who injure
the cause Of loving kindness and make men
the worst of sinners. get very enthusiast
tic about this, because despise hypocrite.
SOULS OUTSIDE HER HOME.
Every afternoon there drives up the
avenue a handsome, bold-looking woman,
superbly dressed, whose turnout is in the
very latest style. Men refer to her in low
tones and women pretend not to see her :;
but everybody in New York knows who
"pays the freight" We will call him Mr.
Brown. Mr.. Browns sons are wild, fast
men. His only daughter eloped with man
whose character is more than merely
questionable, and his wife, a rather
neutral, delicate-lookng woman, has the
sympathy Of all New York--even the sim
ners among men feel sorry for her. Now.
she don't deserve it. She is the cause of all
the trouble. Years ago, when her children
were babies, she became religious enthu-
siast. aud got general taste for saving the
souls OF all the people in the world, which
usually means meddling in other peoples
affairs. She grew so spiritual II that
her husband was driven from her
room in order that she might be bet
ter able to pray, or sing a hymn
or two, at all hours of the night A
man may stand this for little while, but
he is pretty certain to rebel, and of course
this one did. He fought desperately for a
time to keep his wife's interest in his soul
and her love for him, but he gave in after a
while, and sought somebody who was less
interested in souls generally and moro in
him personally. She had no time to attend
to her children; they never knew what it
was to be with their mother and hear all
the dear, sweet stories, ahd learn to sing
the merry tunes of childhood at her feet.
HOW A WOMAN BREACHES BEST.
o, dear, mol They were let alone, and, as
children always learn wickedness easier
than they do virtue, they simply went to
the devil in their own way. Now, she
means over their condition, but goes on in
her own path, being specially conspicuous
wherever woman can most effectually
make donkey of herself. Blessed be st.
Paul for advising that woman keep quiet in
the churches And blessed be ST. Paul the
second time for the other good talkings to
he gave women, and which mean love and
take care Of your husbands and babies and
your own kin. 90" says Madame Prim,
then we are not to look for the sinners out.
SIDE" My dear, think not. That is, not
until the sinners at home have all been re-
formed and are willing to help the
preacher. A woman breaches best by
deeds, not words, and the success she makes
IN her own HOUSEHOLD will give her a niger
position as missionary than that she gains
out
WOMAN WE'RE NOT MADE FOR CLUBS.
Somebody took the trouble to write To
me about my opinion for women's clubs.
1t was a very nice letter, but still maintain
that woman is not clubbable creature
One dear little dot told me that she didn't
Join a club, because she didn't like the
president Isn't thatssa delightfully."- feminine
reascDs And isn't it entirely different from
a man'ss he would have Joined to be one
more to put out the disliked president.
or else would have taken ali
the advantages of the club, ignored
the president entirely until election time.
