a FRIEND.

friend it seems q simple boon to crave
An easy thing TO have;
Yet our world differs somewhat from the days
OF the romancer's lays.
A friend: Why all are friends in Christian
lands
We smile and clasp the hands
With merry fellows Ger cigars and wine;
We breakfast and we dine
With social men and women. Yes, We are
friends.
And there the music ends!
No close heart beats-a cool, sweet, ice cream
feast;
Mild thaws, TO say the least;
The faint slant smile OF winter afternoons;
The inconstant moods Of moons
Sometimes too late, sometimes too early ris-
ing,
But for night suficing;
Showing half-face. clouded sky and null;
Once in q month at full:
Lending tonight what from the sun they Dor
row:
Quenched in his light to morrow.
If thourt my friend, slV~ me the life that
sleeps
Down in thy spirits deeps;
Give all thy heart, the thought within thy
thought
Nay, I've already caught
Its meaning in thine eyes. thy tones. What
need Of words: Flowers keep their seed.
Many there be who call themselves our friends;
Yet ali, if heaven sends
One only one, so mated to our soul,
To make our half a whole,
Rich beyond price are we.

bride was becomingly attired in a travelling
costume, and was never brighter and more
lovely than on this occasion, and the groom
looked proudly happy as he bore of amid
the congratulations Of friends this long
coveted prize. May their fondeSt anticipa-
tons be doubly realized.

HOUSEROID

No household treasures are dearer in
double sense to the housewife than table
furnishings. AT present crystal and table
linen are her special pride, and no gift is
more acceptable than pretty cloths orna-

figured damssk has the pattern outlined
with good effect. Better still is the plain
satin damask white or in delicate tints out

formed tasks properly belonging to their
daughters because it was troublesome to
teach them and tiresome to wait upon their
unskillfulness. They do not train their
daughters to feel that they owe any obliga-
tons or that they have any duties to per-
form. The mother is unmindful that in
after years the girl may need the exact
training which she withholds, and she pla-
Gates her conscience by saying: sob, she
will learn it when she has to.n Here is

duties heavier she has an extra obligation

trials and cares come she chafes and frets,

child should have daily household duties,
and boys and girls should be early trained

proper fashion. In this mothers or

In these days of conventionalism it is
pleasure to witness spontaniety of action.
Childhood is the natural period, therefore
in home life the checking of evil or gross
propensities only ought to be practiced.
Love in the heart of a child is
heavenly and a man or woman who ELECTS
it is thereby ennobled The thought was
called forth by pretty scene few morn
ings since. a man, who from his belong
ings, was easily classed a traveller. was
approaching house as three little girls,
neatly dressed, stepped out on their
way to school. There was shout, ''Why
there's Uncle Jim bless his sweet soul, >
which was three times repeated, and the
dusty traveller hurriedly put down his va
lise, TO lift each littleone in succession for
the welcoming embrace. What q home
coming was thatl Does anyone be-
lieve that the memory of the soft
arms and fresh, pure lips do
not exercise a restraining influence
over life peculiarly beset with tempta-
ton? The love gof the "little ones'' is
purifying and love for them elevating.
This scene opened another more pleasing; it
was of home where love unrestrain ed
flowed in right channels, a retreat rom
conventionalities, harbor of safety and rest,
and told as no words can of the true woman
who created and directed it all.

The days of subjected won anhood' are
waning. A world of bright women no
longer hold to the doctrine so diligently
promulgated in the past, 'Woman's
entire existence must be one of self
sacrifice" Women are learning that if
they must choose between life of
immolatlon and one of self-maintenance,
the latter is to be preferred. In America
women have found out that they are In
possession of dormant powers which
once put into action will enable them
to gain independence. Love hallows all
sacrifice and ennobles the humblest duty,
but love does not thrive where its daily
fostering is only that of subsection to the
will, whims and caprices of selfish lord
All civil law which discriminates between
the sexes is unjust, and before many years
women will compel its expurgation from
the statute books.

Wendell Phillips said that there is no
education so valuable as that which is at
tanned by earning ones own living. If this
is admitted, then no man DESTROYS of the
better education of woman will put any
impediment in her way. 1t is when
W omen learn to look on work as a system
of education and to respect those who are
pursuing their studies by earning their
living that there will be more students
and more of enthusiastic desire to
bear off the prizes. Men honor men
who have their diplomas from the school of
early hardship, but women too commonly
wag their tongues against a woman who
has fought her way beyond early adverse
conditions. 1t is time that women cease to
give cause for lament of the rarity of
woman's humanity to woman.

WOMAN.

Most hattered and least trusted Of the race,
Dropt for whiIn and followed for q face:
Loved for their follies-their devotion scOrned,
In presence Sighted and III absence mourned,
Their hearts, their characters by men abused,
Who never think their help should be refused;
Seated by kings and trampled in the mire,
The best and worst they equally inspire,
Cursed for their weakness, hated Tne- they're
strong:
Whatever happens, always in the wrong.
Tact is their genius. And yet one thing more
WOMB Is lost when woman proves bore.
