CONGRESS OF WOMEN.

1t was the civil war that discovered to
the women of our land their ability as
organizers and the full measure of their
influence. Women's clubs, the object
of which was the common Improvement
OF women, sprang up throughout the
length and breadth of the country. But
in union there is strength, and feeling
that need of utilizing woman's power
in every possible way, the New York
Sorosis issued a call to the various
women's clubs, inviting them TO send
delegates to great convention to be
held IN New York city in October, 1878.
The result of the convention was the
organization of the Association for the
Advancement of Women. Its motto,
"rruth, Justice and Honor" describes
its standard. Its members VINO
csme among us this week, are
true hearted, thoughtful women
who have embodied thought in action.
aud who are today recognized repre-
sentatives and leaders in all wise social
measures. There are women among
them who have become famous IN lit.
erature, science and the arts, women
OF whom every American 10 proud. The
stimulus and Inspiration of their
Presence should be gladly welcomed
by all. and everything in our power
should be done by us to facilitate the
efficiency of their work. The women
Of the city cannot afford TO lose these
valuable meetings. They may hear

midst. Let Us receive our visitors with

are source of muca annoyance to the

seems to me that if we gave a mortgage
wouldn't have anything to worry over"
1t was some time before Mary made
any reply to this, and when she did, she
said:
Il wish I could think your statement
correct, John. and could believe that
the debt would be SO easily paid off:
but no matter about that, for the mort
gage will have to be given. and perhaps
we ought to feel thankful that we have

Soon Louise returned empty-handed
from the store, Markham having again
refused to let any goods GO without
money. Louise had been crying and
there were still tears in her eyes when
she reached her parents.
What is the matter?" the mother
asked. what did Markham say"
Louise hesitated, hung her head and
fingered her dress nervously. 1t was
plain she did not want to relate what
Markham had said. The mother repeat
ed her question, and Louise, having no
other alternative. replied:
He went on dreadfully, mother, and
he made me cry"
what was it he said?''
''Oh, lots of things. lie said he
wouldn't sell us any more goods with
out money, and that he was not so rich
that he could feed paupers. and he
wasn't going to try. We would have to

long cry. Oh, how wish old Mr. Mark
ham was lilse-like-'
Like who?" John Green asked
''Like-lile you, pa" said The girl,
only too plainly terminating her speech
in way totally different from what
she had originally intended.
Young as Louise was she was in love
with Paul Markham. and she blushed
at the mention of his name, and for
fear of betraying herself avoided it as
much as possible.
She did not tell her parents how Paul,
having overheard her interview with
his father, had followed her away from
the store, and came to her out on the
prairie where she stopped to cry: nor
how he had spoken such consoling and
cheering words, and, better still. offered
to loan her portion of his small sum
of money. She had accepted his kind
words thankfully and declined his prof
cred loan with equal gratefulness, and
she felt that she had done perfectly
right, SO there was no harm in keeping
her own counsel.
WELL" said John, breaking long
pause. Markham has shown what sort

to get some from the store. Markham
has refused us credit, but surely he
won't deny her when he knows that we
must have it or starve.'
For little while perfect silence
reigned. Mary sobbed on her husband $
breast like a heartbrokcn child, while
John gazed vacantly out into the
gathering darkness. now and then

his eyes. A minute or two passed So,

No, we cannot starve: but it is hard

John pretended to take a more cheer
full view Of the situation. and it is
probable that he managed to deludc
himself to some extent. Anyhow. his
voice resumed little of its old-time
ring and his eyes grew brighter as he
said:

Mary shook her head despondently,
and the tears she had with SO much eff

about her and drawing her to him laid
her head on his shoulder.
