Women and the Old LAWS,

In England less than ninety years
ago it was not unusual for a man to
sell his wife into servitude.
A cOmmOn-laW husband and wife
were one person and that one person
was the husband.
Upon marriage the husband be-
came entitled to all his wife's goods
and chattles, also to the rents and
profits of her lands.
He was her lord, bound to supply
shelter, food, clothes and medicines.
He was entitled to her earnings and
the custody Of her person.
He had power to choose for her
associates, separate her from her
relatives, restrain her religious and
personal freedom and, if necessary,
chastise her moderately as though
she were the child.
The father of legitimate children
was bound for their maintenance
and education and was entitled to
their labor and custody.
He had power to dispose of them
until they were twenty.one years of
age by deed or legacy and the testa-
mentary guardians right to the
children's custody superseded that
Of their mother. The mother was
entitled to no power but to reverence
and respect from her children.
lntestate personal property was
divided equally between males and
females, but son, though younger
than all his sisters, was heir to the
whole of real property.

LAUGH 4 LITTLE BIT,

Here s a motto, just your fit;
" Laugh little bit.
When you think your trouble.hit
" Laugh little bit
Look misfortune in the face.
Brave the Bedlam Is rude grimaCc:
Ten to one twill yield it's place
If you have the wit and grit

Keep your face with sunshine lit
" Laugh little bit"
Gloomy shadows off will fit
II you have the wit and grit
Just to laugh little bit.
Cherish this sacred writ:

Keep it with you, sample it

Little ills will sure betide Won,
Fortune may not sit beside you,
Men may mock and fame deride YOU,
But you II mind them not a whit
II you laugh little bit.

POETRY
A LITTLE WHILE.

Life is too short for bitterness.
For thoughts that are not kind
sweep back the cloud of jealousies
And let the nobler mind
Look out undimmed. Give fuller swa,
To chgrity-be Just
10 those who stumble by the way
The strongest are but dust.
Life is too short for heedlessness,
For words that hurt and wound,
For acts that set the qnivering cords
or pain to broken sound
loo short for faithfulness-the heart
That rests on thine may break,
And leave the agony of night
For thine lone life to take.
Life is too short for any work
That is not high and true,
TOO short to slight the broader aim
God meant should come to you.
., heart, rise up into the light.
or grander life and thought,
And find the place and blessedness
Thy loving faith has wrought.

EVEN great and rich people find
it necessary to economize sometimes.
A story illustrative of this was told
me by one of the ladies of a foreign
minister's family. She was one day
at dyer's place, when who should
come in but Mrs. Cleveland The
first lady Of the land whose husband
draws the comfortable salary of S5O,-
600 year and works hard for il.
wanted fur cape dyed. She was
very particular to inquire about the
price, just as any other American
woman would be. The foreigner
was greatly amazed by this. She
could not imagine such a thing as a
queen going in person to a dyer's to
have garment worked over so that
it could be put in style. Never
would such thing be seen in the old
world, she declared. All of which
goes to show that we do things i'm a
way of our own in this country, and
a very good way it appears to be.

A KILLARNEY tourist, so the
story goes, was assured by guide
that the echo on Loch Gill was worth
hearing. SO off went the tourist to
hear it, and hired two men to row
him out, accomplishing the transac-
tion so quickly that there was no
time for them to arrange for the
usual echo to be in attendance. In
despair they broke an oar, and one
swan ashore to bring another. The
echo began. "Good morrow. -
cried the tourist, "Good morrow, -
said the echo, with brogue. "Fine
day, God bless it," cried the tourist.
" Foine day, God bless it," said the
echo. "Will you have drink p,
cried the tourist. "Begorra, I will p,
roared the echo.

A VERY vain preacher having de-
lIvered a sermon in the hearing of
the Rev. Robert Hall, pressed him
to state what he thought of the SER

some time, but this only caused the
question to be pressed with greater
earnestness. At length Mr.. Hall ad-
mitted: "There was one very fine

it?" Why, sir, it was the passage

brutal and cold-blooded one, and
Brennan knew that there was but
one plea that might save his client
from life sentence, and that was in
sanity. The trial was one of the
fiercest ever fought in Wisconsin
court. The attorney for the defense
occupied a whole day in his closing
address to the jury, and the effort
was a mastery one. The jury found
the man insane, and he was sent to
Oshkosh. Once there, he improved
rapidly, and in few weeks was dis
charged. His first act was to sue
Brennan for the recovery of his
property, on the ground that he was
insane at the time he decided it. In
the face Of his own argument that
the man was insane Brennan could
do nothing, and the farmer won his
case. Brennan has backlisted in
sanity as defense for murderers.
THEY SAY.-That you should be-
lieve only half you hear, but be sure
it is the right half.
That in order 20 have people speak
well of you. it is only necessary to
die.
That many people are never right
in their views except at the wrong
time.
That you ought not to be clam :;
be a mud-turtle and have some snap
to you.
That if the devil were cast out of
some people they would look like
walking skeletons.
That life consists i'm a large part
Of praying for rain, and then wish
ing for it to clear off.
