THE CAREER OF COLLEGE WOMEN
AFTER GRADUATION.

The first question everybody is i'm
patient to ask is, do college women
marry? Before [ bring forth the fatal
| facts, let me tell the story of the
| young man to whom an eccentric
uncle bequeathed fortune on con-
dition that he lived and died bach
elor. AS If could not be determined
until after the young man was dead
whether or not he would fulfil the
conditions of the will, the court de-
creed that the legacy could not be
paid. In like manner, as most of the
Vassar women are not yet dead, it is
impossible to present other than ten
ative matrimonial statistics.
The record to date is this: of 1882
alumn8, 400 have married-a trife
less than 80 per cent of the whole. AS
the Miscellany reports marriages
every month, this percentage will be
inaccurate before even another class
has been graduated. A truer proper
ton may be found by taking the
records of some of the earlier classes.
The first class ('67) numbered four
members: of these, three have mar
ried-75 per cent. The class of '68 had
twenty five members; fifteen of these
or so per cent have annexed an
nexed another name to that of their
college diploma. Of the thirty four
members of $50, there are twenty one
married, or not quite 81 per cent.
The class of 10 presents nearly the
same record: of the thirty four mem
bers, twenty two are married. The
last of these four classes has just eel
ebrated it's quarter centennial.
According to Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams, by the time man has been
twenty five years out of college he
has either failed or won in the battle
of life. Assuming that a woman's
occupation and prospects would be
settled by that time, it may be stated
that, in the first four classes of Vas
sar, sixty one of the ninety seven
henderson about SO per cent-have
married; little less than two thirds
of the whole number. A college
woman's chances of marriage, then,
are about two to one; but even this
will not do for an absolute statement;
for as matri mony can be entered upon
at greater age than almost any
other profession, it is quite pos ible
that the semi centennial of these
classes may show an increased per-
centage in that direction. The aver
age age of students upon graduating
from Vassar is twenty-five years and
some months.
The late Maria Mitchell used to say,
'sVassar girls marry late, but they
marry WE'LL" Let us hope that time
may not disprove her observations

A story at the expense Of the APP
palachian Mountain Club of Boston is
related in Huppy Thought An ex-
cursion party from the club, it ap-
pears, had gone to rural part Of the
State; and in default of sufficient ac-
commodations, some of the members
were obliged TO seek quarters in a
farm house.
Simplicity was the order of the day.
Everything was very clean, but there
was natural absence of some of the
uxuries of high priced city hotels.
Some of the ladies of the party dis
lowered that there were no keys in
the locks Of their rooms, and waited
upon the farmers wife.
That good woman was surprised.
"Why," she said, tive don't usually
lock our doors here, and there's no
one here but you. But, then, I sup
pose you know your own party BEST"
The visitors did not insist upon the
keys.

THE COMPANIONSRIP OF BOOKS

s'I am never lonely" said a woman
recently. and her bright face and
CHEEKY manner testified to the SINGER
itv of her words Yet she lived much
alone, and had few companions in the
house or visitors from without. Blu
her resources were many. First came
her flowers, which were cared for like
living things, or like children, with
loving care Her plants were moved
from one point Of vantage to another,
set in sunny windows, watered, the
dead leaves shipped off, the ground
loosened or enriched about the roots,
and altogether a large part of the
morning was gone before the plant
family had been properly disposed of
for the day. Then her dog and her
canaries occupied her attention, and
her correspondence filed many hours.
She had never abandoned the habit of
study formed in her youth, and every
afternoon had it's allotment of time
to English history or to her German,
which she loved the more the longer
she made it her object of study.
Nobody is without a perennial re-
source from ennui who can find ref
uge from dullness, and soiace for pain
and forgetfulness of trouble between
the covers of a book. The lover of
books is to be congratulated, for
whatever may be the state of his fl
nances, the favorite volume can be
obtained from a library or borrowed
from friend, and if money be judi
ciously saved and expended, good
book may now and then be secured
by purchase, after which it becomes a
precious individual possession. The
woman who was never lonely loved
books, and they were her familiar
friends; some of them, worn and old
and shabby, have summered and
wintered with her SO long that they
fitted into every mood and sympa-
thized with her-so it seemed-as if
they were sentiment beings. And, in
deed, so much that is imperishably
vital goes into every book that who
shall say these were not the most
5taunch Of comrades, as they were
the most enduring of resources?

A Talk
About
Watches,

Bob. Ingersoll says that once a
warch was not a necessity, now it
is. Without a watch you miss the
train, and missing many trains con-
secutively invites Generalization.
Hon. Frederick Douglass once
said that no article he ever owned
had been more serviceable to him
than his watch. His success in life
depended on punctuality, and in
fifty years he did not remember
missing a single appointment.
Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage says
A true watch is an invaluable pos
session.
A celebrated Chief Justice once
said that the number Of watches
worn in any community was the
measure of the refinement and civ
ilization of that community.
S. LII. Preston says that every
person old enough to appreciate
and care for a watch should own
one, and thinks it would be the
proper caper to purchase it at No.
l Columbia Block, as there is
where the best watches are sold.
Directly opposite the Boston &
Maine passenger station (Westmore
side). Respectfully,
s. H.PreStOn.

THE GLOOM or Il POLAR NIGHT

During the scientific researches in
Nova u mbla, says Constantin NOssi-
loft in an article quoted in Current
Literature, | had the sensations and
experience of the long Arctic night.
It began November and ended Jan
uary 20. September was pretty COM
forta BILE. Then suddenly snow cover
ell the mountains. The Samoyedes,
my only companions, put on their
winter clothing, the fishing boats set
sail for Archangel, the ground froze,
the sun lost it's warmth and heavy
SHOWS fell. Winter had come in earn
est. On the day when the sun showed
itself for the last time all hands went
out of doors to bid it farewell. It re-
manned in sight for half an hour
only. For a few days longer there
was morning twilight. Then this
faded and gave place to black night.
The stars shone the whole "a hours.
The huts of the colony were buried
under the snow, of which thick
whirlwinds filed the air The wind
shook the huts to their foundations.
Sometimes for days together the in
mates of the different huts could hold
no communication with each other,
though the huts were side by side.
IF any one went out he was seized
by the wind and had to be dragged
back by means of ropes. In this dark
ness and desolation the aurora
borealis did much to cheer and enter
tain them. It lasted some times for
five days in succession, with splendors
of color it seems impossible to de-
scribe. To enjoy the spectacle I used
to remain for hours in a hole in the
snow, sheltered from the wind. l
rible than tempest during the Polar
night. Man feels himself overwhelm
ed in immensely. When there came
a lull in the storm the men ventured
out, to breathe the air and purge
their lungs of the exhalations of the
lamps fed with seal oil.
Twilight appeared again in tee mid
die Of January, and on the goth the
sun rose above the horizon, while the
members of the little colony stood in
line facing it and fired q salute. No
one had died or been seriously i'll,
but all had the look of corpses and
were feeble as convalescents after
long sickness. Health re turned with
the appearance of the sun.

sis thy servant a dog?o was once
asked upon a memorable occasion,
and in bitter indignation and scorn.
There are many excellent persons to
day who might positively envy the
pampered little pets of Paris who are
catered for by the dog tailols of the
Palais Royal. These spoiled and cos
seted little animals have quite a
wardrobe; a toilette de reception, a
cache poussiere to wear at Long
champs, plaids for the train and
tweeds for the sea coast, with pockets
for their railway ticket, their mouchotr
and their little silver backt d brush.
Their India rubber shoes are made to
measure and moulded to their feet,
and on the occasion of wedding
they have been seen bedecked with
lace and satin, garlanded with orange
blossoms, and led in the bridal pro-
cession by pages with silk ribbons.

Art for Arts sake, of course. Fo
what else? and why not? But do those
who make this phrase their Shibboleth
always reflect that it's prohi oitions
cut two ways? If art is to be practis-
ed for it's own sake alone, does it not
exact from the artist that he shall
use his highest and noblest powers in
that practice? If the art that points
a moral and adorns tale is in SO far
forth not true art, what of the ar :
that exists for the purpose of sensa-
tionalism and yellow bookishness?
Art is not to be moral and instructive,
agreed-but neither shall it be i'm
moral or instructive in vice. Art
deals only with beauty, and the high
er the kind of beauty it shows to us
the better the art. The feUrs de NAL
are not the loveliest blossoms. Art
for arts sake, the work for the works
sake,is the motto of every true artist,
and he who follows it truly will do the
noblest and purest work it is in him
to do, and will shun the ugly and the
degrading, not because to dwell upon
them is a crime against morals, but
because it is a crime against art
