Tribute TO Women.

1t takes hundred men TO make an
enc Impment, but one woman can make
a hone. I not only admire woman as
the most beautiful object ever created,
but ] reverence her as the redeeming
ing glory Of humanity, the sanctuary
Of all the virtues, the pledge of all
perfect qualities of heart and head. II
is not just nor right to lay the sins of
men at the feet of women. Ii is because
women are so much better than men
that their faults are cons tdered greater.
A mans desire IS the foundation of his
love, bur a woman's desire is born Of
her love. The one thing in. this world
that is constant, the one peak that rises
above all clouds, the one window in
waich The light forever burns. the one
star that darkness cannot quench, is
woman's love. | rises 10 the greatest
heights, il sinks to the lowest depths. Ii
iargives the most cruel injuries. IL is
perennial Of life and grows in every eli
mate. Neither coldness nor neglect.
Aarshness nor cruelty can extinguish it.
= WOman's love is the real love that
suJiues the earth; the love that has
wrought all miracles Of art; that gives
as music all the way from the cradle
song 10 the grand closing sy mphony that
bears tie soul away on wings Of fire A
