SHE RISES TO SPEAK.
MADAM PRESIDENT: Can you spare me
little space? When | read b. A. Bowers $ letter
TO Amos t., ] remembered that /, too, had been
inspired TO speak in meetin'," but was too
busy at that time.
Some of us bachelor maids have long since
ceased to regard our only Amos as a reasonable
being, and therefore have neglected to tell the
public how amused we have been when occa-
| sionally an article of his. teemng with advice,
| reproof, criticism, and scorn, appears. After
diet Of cake and preserves, one enjoys good
| sour pickle.
Your chosen wife, Brother Seaman, should
| Judge frcm what you have written, must be n
woman of the world, who has dscreetly eaten
| of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good
and evil, and still is pure; not some haxen-
| haired, blue-eyed doll, who knows not the
] apples of Sodom from wholesome food, or
woman whose character bears the prints OF
| folly.
And what will you give in exchange for this
woman's individuality? For you seem i'm
pressed with he idea that you have only TO say,
Twill you be mine?' aud some one of Ewes
brightest daughters is waiting to say, Yes"
Sons morning, as you stand before your
mirror. putting the finishing touches to your
toilet. forget self for n while, and think of
Amos Seaman as another being, take an inven-
tory of his good and bad qualities be honest
with yourself. and when you balance up the
accounts see if you think lie is worth woman's
freedom.
For. as / understand it, you would expect
70 ~, hnr rrl.a m ha
assumed your name.
You may be one of the men certain class of
girls like to lirt with, but it's my impression
you will be single a good while, unless you
learn TO respect women more than you DO now.
Never, since the beginning Of time, has
woman been respected and honored as she is to-
day; and the man who SCOTS a. her is either
too young to appreciate aught but himself, or
from choice his associations have been with
women far below the standard.

AS YOU LOVE YOUR LIFE. 30
Mrs. L. A. Warner. writing from Jackson
ville Fla, tells of the great Affections that
have come upon her in the past few month";.
In June, she underwent severe surgical opera
ton. and had not recovered when her three
children, two sons and daughter, were taken
down with typhoid fever, traced to defective
plumbing and sewers gas poison.
The daughter. a graduate of is, who had just
been given important place in business
college, died, and one son is in state Of dis
tressing invslidism. The second son, a little
boy, after recovering, went ont on his wheel
and was run over, and may probably be
cripple for life.
The mother is broken-hearted. and her
troubles seem almost more than size can bear.
She begs all those who have sewer connections
TO have their closets outside, as she knows of
numerous cases similar to her own. 30, why"
she says, has not someone who has had ex-
perience and knowledge of the fatal dangers
OF closet or bathroom with sewer connections.
raised a cry with voice and pen, that we might
have had a chance to know what death-traps
they could prove TO be-
Zone acquaintance living near here insisted,
contrary 10 advice of friend, who had a like ex-
perence with mine, on having a closet indoors
with sewer connections. The outcome was that
in little over year they buried their only
child, poisoned by sewer gas.
Sewer connections right but as you love
your own and want to keep them, let me beg of
you to build these necessary apartments cut
side of your house.
Il have received number Of letters Of late
from G. G. friends asking why ] do not write
for our department again, and if / will get
seed and cnros for them. Friends, / wish /
could, TO employ myself; TO be busy would be
the best thing | could do; but / cannot force
myself to it. .
One thing / can do. If you want sea-shells,
there is firm here who are going to dissolve
partnership. They have some 20 or 80 barrels
of fine, large, pink conch-shels from the West
Indies that they are selling off at 1.35 barrel,
which is certainly bargain. If you want one
or more barrels of them. aud send me the
money, will see they shipped to you.
30, yes; you will need to send 10 cents ex-
ira for tho dray TO take them to the freight
Office. Better have them 90 by freight the
rates So much lower. If you should send
for two or three barrels the drayage costs no
more"
HAPPY HOUSEHOLD.
