THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER.

From our first recollection We
have always heard great deal OF
talk about the return of the prodi-
gal son. We have heard that in
structlve parable read many times
in churches, and heard many elo>
quent sermons preached from the
same, yet we cannot remember OF a
single instance either in sacred or
protane history, where hurraE was
made over the return of the prodi-
gal daughter.
Many girls have wandered away
from home, fallen into bad ways,
and occasionally have become 80
heartsick they have braved fathers
wrath and contumely, reproach and
scorn of their female acqaaintances,
and sick and tired OF life, have re-
tarned to the home of their youth
ard innocence to die. We have
never heard however OF an instance
where her father saw her afar off
and ran to meet her, ordered the
finest apparel brought forth, the
tatfed calf killed, and the neighbors
invited 20 rejoice over Der return.
On the contrary in the cases we
ever heard of, she has slipped quiet
ly in the back way and the matter
kept as quiet as possible. Instead
of makingit matter of public re-
joicing, the prodigal daughter was
made to take back seat. Her fe-
male acquaintance who met the
prodigal son with hearty hand
shake and wreath of smiles upon
his return, seem afriad to come near
her, and generally gather their dress
skirts as she passes by.
Why this distinction
We find no fault with the grand
instructive parable, nor with those
who preach from it. We think the
old gentlemen right. But the same
principle should apply to women.
While laboring day after day to
reclaim fallen men, we should not
Neglect to give erring women a
chance to reform. While we make
a hero of a reformed man, we should
at least extend the hand of friend
ship to the reformed women, and
once moro give them the right to
earn a respectable living, free from
the reproach and contempt OF socie-
ty.
Public sentiment should be edu>
Gated to regard women's crimes the
same as it regards those of man.
Society should be impressed with
the fact that both are equally guilty
and one entitled to forgiveness and
reinstatement in society as we'll as
the other.

The world is growing better, but
1t Is net due SO much to wealth or
to business enterprise as to the in
tiuence of good mothers and gentle
women.
The man of the world has no time
to train his children in moral ethics.
lie may take time to punish them
TOR overt immortality, but it is the
mother who plants seeds in the
young hearts and nourishes the
growths with gentle care.
Next to the mother ranks the
sweetheart. By demanding gentle,
ness, department, moral rectitude
and refinement in manners, she en-.
courages the development of thai
which the mother had tenderly
watched and nourished. 1t is nat
ural for a man to endeavor to please
those he loves, and for the sake O
enjoying the smiles and favors o
the woman upon whom his affec
tons are conferred he will endeavol
to rise to her social and mora
plane.
Many men are kept out of the
cutters by their love and respect fol
pure, good women.

VICE Is CONTAGIOUS.

Vice is contagious. Crime is as
catching as the measles.
Let some criminal, however re-
voting and inhuman ms crime, at
tract the attention of the world, and
imitators will spring up by the score.
Thus ''Jack the Ripper" has had
a double in almost every country on
earth. A disciple of his has just
been arrested in New York, who
was taken red>handed after cutting
the throat of his seventh victim.
Since young Norcross tried to
blow up Russell Sage with dyna-
mite bomb, he has had several imi.
tators in Europe, and not few
in this country.
Men are as initiative as parrots,
and sometimes it makes but little
difference whether the acts they
initiate are worthy OF imitation or
not.
1t is this parrot tendency in hu-
man nature, this sheep like faculty
of following ones leader whether he
jumps into bramble-bush or the
mill-pond, that has perpetuated
some of the most ridiculous fash
ions.
1t is hard to admire Shakespeare
unreservedly, when we look at his
picture and see that monstrous ruff
fie around his neck. Yet every
body wore one like it in his day,
and even Shakespeare was not great
enough to stem the current of this
outrageous fashion.
Many Of our readers can remem-
! Der the two>yard-wide hoopskirts
once worn by women. When two
ladies met, one OF them was obliged
to get into the street to turn out.
But still this absurd fashion was
kept up for several years, simply
because of the initiative tendency
OF human nature.
So men have worn boots that are
to small for them, and trousers that
are too large; have worn hats as
stiff as iron pots, and collars so high
that they almost shut out a view of
the sun at MONDAY; they have
wedged their hands into gloves in
tended for hands FIVE sizes smaller
than their own they have dressed
like guys and deemed themselves
Apollos simply because it was the
fashion to dress like guys.
But though men initiate the fol,
lies and the crimes of other men, it
is great comfort to reflect that they
also initiate their virtues; and as
virtuous people much more numer-
Gus than vicious ones, virtuous acts
are infinitely numerous than bad
acts.
Col. 1ngersoll once said that if he
had had the making Of the world he
would have made health contagious,
like disease. But this is precisely
the condition of affairs that prevails
under the present order. Health is
more contagious than disease, and
nearly everybody is fairly healthy;
so, morally, nearly everybody is
fairly good.
But one murderer makes more
stir than three million good men
who never murder; but though we
talk about the murderer, read about
him and dream about, him, let us
not forget that there are three mil
lion good men who could never be
induced to follow his example.

LOVING HOMES.

Nothing appears to US so beautiful
in human experience as the recipro-
cal affection of parents and children,
especially after the latter have at
tanned maturity, and, it may be,
formed new relations in lite. We
have seen the loving and lovely
daughter, after she had become
wife and mother, seize every oppor-
tunity OF visiting the parental home
to lavish her affectionate attention
upon her parents, and, by u thousand
graceful and tender kiudnesses, as
sure them that, though she was an
idolized wife and happy mother,
her affections still cling with ever
Strengthening fervor to the father
and mother who watched over her
infancy and guided her youth. 1t
has been our privilege to know such,
and as we have witnessed the out
pourings of love and happiness be-
tween these devoted and glowing
hearts, we have felt that surely
much of heaven might be enjoyed
here if all families were equally at
tached. And would that every
daughter knew what pure JOY she
might create in the parental bosom
by a constant keeping alive of the
spirit of fiiial devotion, and Selling
frequent opportunities to make it
manifest in little acts of gentleness
and love, Notwithstanding the child
may have become a parent. The
child never grows old to a fond pa
rent. 1t IS always the dear child,
and never so dear as when it keeps
up the childish confidence and love
OF its earliest years.

No american NIid.hIpmite..

Among the queer survivals in the
United States navy is the theory that
an ensign is necessarily very young
man. When lads were midshipmen
at II or IA and there were wars to
thin out the officers at the top a man
reached his lieutenancy at worst in
his early twenties. But now that the
midshipmite Is unknown and promo
ton slow an officer may remain an
ensign at 27 or 2a. A few OF the
older captains and admirals still hold
to the idea that an ensign needs look
ing after and it is not long since men
approaching their 30th year found
themselves hampered by rules as to
coming aboard ship by 10 o'clock and
other like reg ulations such as pre-
vailed in the days OF boy midshipmen
and ensigns.
