recent years, was discussed. On the WHOLE
the women novelists Of the period have
done as good work as the men, the speaker
thought, and the general influence of women
in the last three centuries on literature has
been stronger than that of men. He illus
trated his reasons for the latter conclusion
by mentioning the fact that Samuel John
son was able to refuse the patronage of the
nobility because the women of England
bought enough of his books to support him.
Mr.. Cooke pointed out the particular infu-
ences, moral and ideal, which women have
contributed to literature. More and more
are women ceasing to follow men and aim
ing to express their own natures. The
two things necessary to make women fully
the intellectual equals of men are continued
training on the same footing with men and
freedom from many ideas which now pre-
vail. When women come to the same
freedom in thought and action which men
have, the highest development-in no re-
spect inferior to that of men-will be pos
sible. The second lecture of the course
will be given this evening on "The Home

planning and executing, was to marke
degree Independent in thought speech and
action, managed thriftily his gradually in
creasing accumulations, enjoyed much as
he went along, and provided literally for
those about him, and won the high esteem
of a large circle of acquaintances for his in
telligence and ability, his self-reliance and
integrity. 1t is hardly three months since
his brother Lucu1 died, and now only one
of the large household of the sons and
daughters OF Elisha Cummins survives,
Mrs. Lorinda Bowen of this village. He
leaves one son, Lawson Cummins, and
daughter, Mrs Elsie Bruce. Mr. Cumming
was remarkable for health and vipor en-
Joyed to an advanced age. His methodical
habits, his temperance in eating and drink
ing, his avoidance of many of the harassing
excitements of modern life, his moderation
in labor, and his customary cheerfulness
and contentment with his lot preserved the
strong constitution he had inherited from
both father and mother; and from his child
hood to the day of his death he suffered
from only one serious sickness. His friends
have realized for the last two or three years
that his strength was waning, still his step
continued elastic, his mind active his
tongue quick to express his thought, his
heart cheerful, and his body undisturbed by
racking pains. Even when eighty.fve
winters had passed over his head he had
experienced almost nothing of those "evil
days" and years with "no pleasure in
them," which Ecclesastes represents as al
most inseparable from old age. Deafness
troubled him somewhat, but not disease.
He grew old beautifully, aud sank away so
quietly, so restfully, that death was di-
vested Of its terrors. Most appropriately
may we repeat of HIM
of no distemper, of no blast, he died,
But fell like autumn fruit that mellowed long,
Fate seemed to wind him up for fourscore years,
Yet freely ran he five winters more;
TIL like a clock, worn out with eating time,
The wheels of weary life at last stood still"

HOME HINTS.

The home is to society what the heart is to the
body-the vital motive power.
When the father is vigorous, the mother
cheerful, and children happy, it is heaven on
earth
When disease stalks in and fells the father,
prostrates the mother or seizes the children, all
becomes desolation.
To make the home happy, keep the health Sc,
cure. Poverty may come, but it can be endured
if the health remains.
No health was ever maintained without as
sstance. Health. like the body, must be sup
ported But do not make Il mistake and do 1t
foolisbly.
The best way to sustain health is to assist u,
to stimulate il. The best way to healthily
stimulate it is by the use OF pure, unadulterated
medicinal whiskey. Doctors have declared
this scientists have confirmed it, and both have
insisted that Dutfy's Pure Malt Whiskey is the
only strictly medicinal one in the market. In,
deed it has become, as it deserves, "A household
