WHAT ARE WE COMING TOP
fearful ~Soliloquy of n Rural Matron
Who Visited Gotham.

"The recent visit of Robert 1ngersoll
to this city reminds me of an exper-
fence we once had with a friend of
traveller in the lobby last night. She
was an old lady from the country, one
Of the old, stiff backed sort. She was
new to city ways and suspicious of the
doings of city people. Knowing this
we were at a loss how to entertain her.
But finally we hit upon Bob I~ngersoll's
lecture, as it happened n of those
which was making such a stir at the
time. The old lady listened very at
tentively to the speaker throughout,
but as we went home we noticed she
was very quiet and seemed somewhat
depressed. But she said nothing, ex-
cept that she had enjoyed herself. Ear
ly the next afternoon my wife took her
to hear Mrs. Jenness Miller talk about
dress reform. At dinner that evening
we observed even more r%eticence and
apparently deep thought upon the part
of our friend, but still she ventured no
opinion as to what she had heard.
However, late that night we heard a
stir in the old lady's oom and my wife
went to inquire if she were sick. But,
no., we could hear her pacing h floor.
She was muttering to herself in the
most incomprehensible way, and at
first we could not imagine what she
was talking about. But at last her
voice was raised in a very agony of
spirit. 'Alack, alack, no God, no chem
ises-what is the world coming to? -
