was wrapped in small rug to protect

TENNYSON'S WOMEN.
They Are Some OF tho FaIrest Feminine
Creations In Poetry.


Tennyson gave the world pictures OF
some of the fairest feminine crea tons
In poetry-winsome maidens, demure
and trustful; womanly women, loyal
and companionable; devoted wives,
gentle and faithful; noble matrons, low
ing and self-sacri1cing, serving the best
interests Of home and country.
Tennysoh's conception of woman and
Ter sphere may be regarded as rather
old-fashioned. He was evidently not
in full sympathy with some of the adA
yanced notions of the modern women.
His burlesque of "woman's rights" in
"The Princess" has not hurt the cause
of the weaker sex. He understood the
right relations of the man and the
woman, and his utterances in the clos
ing passages of this poem go to the
heart of the problem. 1t is still true
that woman's chief place and crown.
ing glory is to be queen of the home.
There she may have an unlimited field
for usefulness and exert far-reaching
influence for good, if she but realize her
opportunities and improve them. In
the household woman finds her proper
sphere and work:
Her office there to rear to teach,
Becoming as Is meet and fit
A link among the days, to knit
The generations each with each"
No other poet has done more to glor-
ify the maternal sentiment, or to make
the family relation sacred. Woman's
work, as he conceived it, is not only
training the plastic minds of the young,
but squirting the man to more reso-
lutte endeavor and grander achievement.
Yielding to her subtler forces and gen.
tier agencies, he aspires to higher
plane of being. While accomplishing
his manhood" by REFRESHING the baser
and cultivating the finer side of him,
she at the same time works out her own
salvation, humanity speaking, in the
truest sense. In word, it is by low
ing and being loved that she reaches the
fullest development and renders the
world the best service. Conserving
and fostering goodness and greatness,
ministering to the wants of the lowly,
scattering gloom and softening the
sting of anguish-this is woman's mis-.
sion.-Eugene Parsons, in Chautau-
guam.

changed hands through the unsettled
state of the public mind, oCcasioned by
bank failures and the explosions OF
public companies; but Marsden & Ry-
lotty's bank had stood mistaken, for it
was conducted on a sound financial
basis with a large capital, and had be-
come quite an old established institu-
tiQn.
{ In consequence of the aforesaid fail
ures, the receipts at Marsden's had en-
banded enormously, and Mr.. Phillip,
whose heart and soul were in the life

as his health was concerned, for Phil

constitution being far from strong now;
but when the banker laughed and pooh
poohed the idea, the doctor, with a
merry twinkle in his eye. prophesie'l
that Marsden would assuredly die in

The latter almost believed it, too,
while admitting that his intellect was

mating faculties not quite 50 clear, nor

back. He had been a mastery finan-
cier in his early days at the bank.

Longfellow's Evangeline.

The story of the origin of J.ongfel-
lows ."Evangeline' writing of the
POEMS thus told: Hawthorne dined
one day with Longfellow, and brought
with him friend from Salem After
dinner the friend said: 81 have been try
ing to persuade Hawthorne to write
a story based upon legend of Acadie
and still current there, the legend of the
girl, who, in the dispersion of the Ar
cadians, was separated from her lover
and passed her life in waiting and seek
ing for him, and only found him dying
in a hospital when both were old"
Longfellow wondered that this legend
did not strike the fancy of Hawthorne
and said to him: IF you have really
made up your mind not TO use it for a
story, will you give it 10 Inc for a
poem?" To this Hawthorne assented,
and, moreover, promised not to treat the
subject in prose till Longfellow had
seen what he could do with it in verse.
And so we have "Evangelne" in beauti-
full heXameters, a poem that will hold
it's place in literature while true af-
lection lasts. Hawthorne reioiced in
this great success of Longfellow and
loved to count up the editions, both for.
eign and American, of this now world.

USEFUL BLACK AND TAN.
Dog Undertakes to Help a Hen Support
Her Family.


Her Family.
A hen was sitting upon "clutch"
Of 10 eggs, and Don, the black-and- tan,
soon became very curious to know why
she stayed in the barn so closely.
The dog, as it appears, had formerly
been given to teasing the hen, snatch
ing her food away from her, and other
wise making himself a torment; but
this intercourse had gradually turned
into friendship, and the two would
sometimes be seen lying and squatting
side by side in the sun, on bit of car
pet in the back porch.
During the three weeks that the hen
sat on her eggs, Don used to pay daily
visits to the barn, and sometimes would
stay with her by the half hour.
Then the chicks came out of
their shells. Don was intensely inter-
ested. All day long he scarcely left the
barn. The next morning, when the hen
stepped off the nest, and with a cluck
called her brood after her, Don fol-
lowed.
The hen fell to scratching, and the
fluffy chicks darted hither and thither,
picking up the titbits which the mother
had uncovered.
"Good!" said Don to himself; 81 can
help in this business" and, to the terror
of the chickens, he ran among them and
began turning up the soil at lively
rate. Then he sat down and waited.
The mother hen called back thu
chicks 10 the newly-scratched earth
and soon they picked it clean. Then
the dog took another turn, and so the
good work proceeded, to the great de-
light Of all the parties.--Indianapolis
