SHE HAS COME.
c. C. FRIENDS: There have been various essays
written the coming woman She Is no longer
coming. she is already here. She is neither a saint
n very great sinner. She holds man by the
sken cords of love rules him with u rod OF
iron. She attracts him with the same smiles. wiles
and wcheries; the same sweet graces and delicate,
unassuming modesty, the same power aud protec
lion as did the mothers of mankind in the most
remote period of antiquity.
But it is useless 10 describe the undesirable.
Woman in an unknown quantity and of very di-
verse chemical affinity, the union Of which forms
of the most complex and ending of COM
pounds. Notwithstanding all this. she is yet the
most perfect OF all the creations of Dame Natures

SINCERITY OF CHARACTER.
&. c. FRIENDS: In life sincerity is the touch
stone of character. The good and valuable ia
lie who strives realize day by day his sincere
conceptions of true manhood. Thousands are
struggling TO exhibit what someone else hdmires,
reach the popular standard, to be, or 10 appear
10 be, respectable honorable; but few make 1t
their aim TO live thoroughly up TO their own indi-
yidual convictions of what is right aud good At
all turns a who will do faithfully needs TO
believe firmly. IL he have TO ask at every turn
the worlds suffrage, if he cannot dispense with
the worlds suffrage, and make his suffrage
serve, he is poor eye-servant, and the work
mitted TO him will be misdonc.-Mary L. McGrail,
