chung. half swooning, her heir sweep
ing the ground, and her limbs dragging
Three times her husband broke hef
clasp and three times her hands closed
again with the same convulsive clutch.
Then. as commencing her to God, he
pressed his horse back for the fearful
leap, love gave her almost superhuman
strength and she climbed to the saddle
with him,-"By her love she over
came.
And her head was on his breast.
where she smiled like one at rest,
Then the horse in stark despair with his
front hoofs poised in air,
On the last verge rears amain.
Now he hangs, he rocks between, and
his nostrile curdle in,
Now he shiverS head and hoof, and
the flakes of foam fall of,
And his face grows fierce and thin.
Then back-toppling, crashing back.
a dead weight flung out to wrack,
Horse and riders .overfell.
Oh! men sigh, that was a woman to
die for. There are no such women
nowadays. The high heroism is a
thing of the past. Let the man who
thinks so go into his kitchen awhile
and watch his wife, worn and weary,
while he ponders this saying:
It's harder to live with the average
man than to die with him.
There are doubtless women, worn
out, broken down, crushed by the
duties of wifehoOd and motherhood,
who would gladly trade all these years
Of suffering and pain for the few JOY
Gus months that followed marriage, and
then like the Duchess May, smile at
the dark leap, with the arms of the man
she loved close-clasping her.
Every wife, every mother is a hero
inc. Is there no courage in putting
that little hand into your, and forsak-
ing father and mother for your sake
Is there no heroism in assuming the
responsibility and risk of motherhood?
1t is doubly heroic when the young
woman can look around her and see
what loss marriage so often entails,
loss OF health, of figure, of complexion,
OF strength.
The best recognition that can be
given to the heroism of women is that
which mimimizes its perils and smooths
the path of duty as much as is posi-
bic. It's a very beautiful thing to have
monument setting forth the virtues
of the wife and mother, with weeping
husband hanging wreaths about it.
But 1t is a very much more beautiful
thing to be a happy, healthy woman
and q Joyful mother of children
The crown of motherhood ought not
to be crown of martyrdom.
The most practical recognition of the
worth of woman. her courage, her suf.
fering and her needs, is to be found in
that 'GOd-send to women" Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. There
is no extravaganza in that statement
the martyrdom of motherhood is done
away by the use of this great remedy
for female troubles, facilitating drains
and the Inflammation and liberation
which cause such suffering.
