s.The Song of the Shirt. !"

The miseries of the east end needle
women form no new theme. They date
back to 1.-THE Song Of the Shirt
beforeit Yet in spite of all that has
been done in recent years in the way of
social and remedial legislation and in
the way of organized individual effort
for the elevation of the ''masses" the
woes Of the unfortunate class have met
with no amelioration. On the contrary,
they have deepened and intensified as
the years rolled on.
Speaking generally, there has been of
late years decided upward tendency in
the wages paid for mems labor, and a
consequent rise in their habits, their
homes and their scale of living generally.
Even the wages of some women workers,
notably those of skilled factory hands,
have shared in this improvement,
though to more limited extent. But
the condition of what may truly be
termed the residuum, the lowest stratum
of the toilers, the needle women en-
ployed in the cheap clothing trade in
London and some of the provincial
cities, but more especially London, has
gone from bad to worse.
1t is so years since Hood wrote his in
spired poem which aroused such general
sympathy for the class for which he
pleaded. They need that sympathy more
now. When "The Song of the Skirt
was written, these poor women were
earning an average wage of at least ~
pence per hour. At the present time
many of them-most of them-cannot
average more than II pence an hour

Loneliness of the Pacific.

In the summer of 1850 left San Fran
cisco on sail vessel formerly from Bal
timore) for Panama, distance 1000 miles,
and on the entire route, which lasted 43
days, we never saw sail. Loneliness is
no word for it, especially when we lay
becalmed in the tropics, with our vessel
floating as helplessly about as q chip on
mill pond, the ground swell keeping up
the monotonous roll of the vessel from
side to side all day and night and day
after day, each roll being accompanied
by flap of the sails and a creaking of
the rigging that might have passed for
the flap of the wings and the wall of lost
spirits.
When we read about N oah and his ark,
we are apt to think that he must have
had rather lonely time, but then he
was out only 40 days, and besides, with
all the animals, etc., on board, he had
plenty to occupy his time and attention,
and If he wanted amusement to while
away the time he had only to start a
sparring match betwesn his monkeys
and parrots. True, there is no report of
any such proceeding on his part, but
that is doubtless because there was no
modern newspaper reporter on board.
tell you man cannot realize what lone
Hness or discomfort is until he has made
some such trip, and if he wants to COM
plete his education in that line he should
preface it with tramp of 1900 miles
over the mountains and across the deserts
amid wolves and wild Indians, as thou
sands of forty-niners did Washington

One Girl,s Proposal.

One day came an offer from man
who had loved mo ever since I was lit
tie girl and who is the only lover ever
had who became my friend afterward.
It seems to me l must always have
known that he loved me, and he is still
SO unselfish and patient friend that l
always think of him as unchanging. All
that he said was:
"Phyllis, we have gone this far in life
apart. Can't we go the rest of the way
together?" And when I said "no" and
began to excuse myself, he stopped me:
"Dear girl, don't say that to me. I
have loved you much too long and too
well not to know you. understand all
you would say. Trust me as trust you,
and forget everything I ever said, except
that my heart aches with love for you.
Remember that always. Shall we walk
on?'
Twas SO dismayed by his abrupt dis
missal of the subject that l nearly fell
down instead. How conventionality
helps one through crisis! - Ladies'

The cominE Of Woman sanrage.

Is woman suffrage coming? 1t begins
TO look so. Out in Kansas, in recent
election, women having the right to vote
did vote. They went early to the polls,
with the balance Of political power in
their hands, and staid late, not mere
ly O handful, hut 95 per cent Of the reg
lstered female voters. This incident is
bound to exert an influence, and the
chances are that Kansas will very soon
be followed by other states. Once the
thing takes an actual turn opposi-
ton to woman suffrage will not have a
foot, of earth to stand upon. Down in
this country, where it is our pride and
boast that our women are too good for
such duties, there is as yet no agitation.
But woman's sphere has Of late been
greatly enlarged. She is a part and parcel
Of our commercial, our industrial and
our scientific as well as our social world.
She has come to be breadwinner, and
with it taxpayer. She is o factor in
civilizations development and a formu-
lative, creative and executive entity in
our political economics.

has not wanted suffrage. If, however,
her ideas are changed, and she calls for
the right to make laws and assist in fill
ing the offices, there is no doubt but that
she will be accorded every opportunity.
theoretically it is right to which she,
as a property owner and a supporter of
public institutions. is entitled. Prac-
tically and sentimentally her sphere is
higher and nobler. The American can
not go on record as advocating woman
suffrage, but it is bound to admit that
the tendency of the times and incidental
conditions are growing more and more
favorable thereto. o.-Nashville American.

On it Assyrian moonlight shone:

Its petals breathe dead loves kiss.

In the gardens Of Semiramis.
But Egypt has a sweeter bloom
Tho lotus of forgetful breath;
Swathed and embalmed in spiced gloom,
The sad Nile sobbed its dreams to death.

AS quiet asdeaths waxen lid.

Beneath her silent pyramid.
