THE UNSELFISHNESS OF WOMEN
By Rev J. Hardy, Author of "How to Be Happy Though Married."

In C hi nil memorial arches that were
erected by order of the Emperor to
commemorate daughtera who sacrificed
themselves for parents, mothers .who did
he same for children, and'wKows. who"
remained such out of respect for" deceased
husbands. One arch was put up to a
daughter who on two occasions had cut
les"h from her body and cooked 1t orber
father to eat when he was very 111 and
.was ordered, by Chinese physicians end
.superstitious people, flesh from one of his
children. Surely in the largo towns of
Christian England, if It were, the custom
to erect memorial arches, fas many or
more would be required to commemorate
the unselfishness of our women.
The unselfish daughter makes a .friend
of her mother. HoweveT hurried or ex
cited she may be on returning from work
or amusement she tells her what she has
been doing and seeing. Never does she
think of her as a tiresome old thing who
ought to be superannuated. Hememberlng
how patient her mother was to, her, she
puts up with her fads, sick fancies and
repetitions.
Affection for Pnrentrf.
The three daughters of an Eastern lady
were Invited to furnish her with proof of
their love before she went a long jour
ney from home. One brought her a mar
ble tablet, with her name inscribed upon
It; another brought a garland of fragrant
flowers; while the third came and said,
"Mother, I have brought neither marble
nor flowers I have neither; but I have a
heart, and here Is your memory engraved
your memory Is precious. This heart,
lull of affection, will follow you wherever
you, travel."
The last gift is the best that any daugh
fer can give to her father and mother. She
may not earn a penny of money, but If she
gives her heart she fully remunerates for
all that has been expended upon her.
She pays her way by filling in the little
spaces in home life as only a daughter
can; by lifting the weight of care from
her mother, and by slipping in a soft
word or a smile where it is like oil upon
the troubled waters of a father's spirit.
How could Sir Thomas Moore have sus
tained his sorrows and trials without his
noble daughter, Margaret Roper? After
his death she obtained possession of his
head, but not until it had been exposed
on London Bridge; and, after keeping It
all her life, gave directions to have it
laid upon her bosom when she was dead,
and buried with her.
Self-Sacrificing AVIvc.
And then in time unselfish daughters
- become unselffish wives, and toll for hus
bands, many of whom give them neither
sympathy nor help. The ordinary man
cannot realize the monotony and lone
liness of, the 'lives of many married
women, removed as they, are .from the
business and -excitement ;of ttie world.
A jodwlfe must be always -it home, a
ways'keeplng the house going. The hus
band when ho comes home has done his
work. Ho takes It for granted that he
has a Tight to. rest and. enjoy himself,
b"ut the wife! Frequently she has to do
the work of several servants, but so great
1b her unselfishness that she does not
object. She Is cook, housemaid, nurse,
all for what? "What are her .wages?
"What does' she take for herself? Often
only just food and clothing sufficient to
keep life in her that she may go on work
ing. If, even when husbands are well-meaning,
kind men, their wives havfe to Sacri
fice' themselves on many occasions, what
must It be when they are of 'an opposite
character? An East End of London
Incident will answer this. At a spiritual
lstlc seance, a man was informed that
the spirit manifested was that of his de
ceased wife, whereupon the following dia
logue took place:
"Is that you, 'Arrletr' "
"Yes, it's me." ,
"Are you 'appy, 'Arrlet?'
"Yes, very 'appy."
"'Appier than you was with me, 'Ar-,
riet?"
"Yes, much 'appler."
"Where arc you, ''Arrlet?"
"In 'ell." '
"Who shall say how many heroines un
known to fame are at this moment mak
ing the best of a bad matrimonial bar
gain? Their husbands are weak-willed,
foolish. Idle, extravagant, dissipated and
generally ne'er-do-well; but Instead of
helplessly sitting down to regret their
marriage day they take the management
of things into: their own hands, and make
the best of the inevitable, by patient con
tinuance In well-doing.
A Mother's! Love.
Not long ago the -writer lived In Dub
lin, near the Zoological gardens, and used
-frequently to see a model mother there.
She was a lioness, with three cubs, 11
weeks old. When the keeper -put Into
her cage a portion of horseflesh she would
take It up, carry It to where the cubs
were lying, and though very hungry her
selfbeing fed -only once In 24 hours
she would never eat a morsel until the
little ones were tired .of - licking it. "It
would be well," said the keeper one day
to me, "if all Christian mothers-In Ire
land were as good as that poor. heathen
lioness!" Alas! there are m'others who
are not willing to sacrifice themselves.
There are creaturesmaaqu'era'ding In the
form of women who prefer all kinds of
unsatisfying excitements and unfemlnine
occupations to the oldest, most useful and
happiest profession that of motherhood.
Some of them might be called cuckoo
mothers, for they take no trouble to rear
their offspring, but leave them altogether
to the care of strangers. They never
hear their children's evening prayer nor
tuck them" Into "bed." for at that hour
these cuckoo mothers are preening their
plumage for evening gaiety. Happily the
majority of women when they become
mothers are human and not the cuckoo
kind. A young woman may be selfish
and egotistical, but when once she Is
privileged to call & baby her own she
alters In- this respect. For -Its- sake she
gives up ease and ,comfort. and her own
way. What anxieties and-sleepless nights
do the measles, whooping cough arid
other diseases Incidental to children, even
when well into their teens, cause moth
ers! A man's work Is from aua to sun,
A woman's work is never done.
Is there any work done by men more
useful than that which is done by a good
mother? One good mother Is worth a
thousand schoolmasters. She influences
far more than does the father. "Men,"
says RIchter, "govern and earn the glory;
and the thousand watchful nights and
sacrifices by which a mother purchases
a hero or poet for the state are forgotten
not once counted; and so, one century
after another, do mothers, unnamed and
unthanked, send forth the arrows, the
suns, the stormblrds and the- nightin
gales of time."
Slaters Influence Brothers.
We all know how very self-sacrificing
iaany sisters are In order to Improve or
even to give enjoyment to their brothers.
Even when they are unaware of the fact
they influence for good their schoolboy
cltlns In being & good daughter. And yet
we, should never go out of our way to
look for duties, but should start with
what lies nearest to us. Give up. now
and then a pleasure because father or
mother would be lonely without 'ou;

brother -whb wants to play at fishing
Tou might help the old cooli'ln your
father's house, or attend to the door
while the parlormaid goes home to serf
her. sick mother. '
We cannot but admire the unselfishness
of tho different classes of women spoken
of above, but also we cannot help seeing
that much of what is called unselfishness
is selfishness once.or twice removed. Cer
tainly the woman who never thinks of
anyone outside her own family circle,
though she may not be personally selfish,
is deficient in altruism. Egotism a- deux
is only a degree better than egotisrri.
Unselfishness is noble, .and much to be.
admired, but It should be wise unselfish
ness, for when not guarded against there
Is a danger of it making other peoplo
selfish. Men cannot be chivalrous and
self-denying If women do not give them,
opportunities. They 'should give . them
every chance to cultivate these noble
qualities. Instead of this, some fondly
fooitsh wives encourage their husbands
In rudeness and selfishness by not de
manding, and even Insisting upon, that
attention, consideration and help which
brothers and instil into them reverence I every woman, much more a wife, may

or play for the elder ones, or to Join In
a game With the younger, but who are
enthusiastic and charming when they
meet men In society. "So you are to be
married?" questioned a cynical young
man. "Yes, vety soon." "Of course you
think her an angei?" "Oh, no; I have
four sisters."
Parsing the Sick.
"It would be bard to find stronger evi
dence that the times we llva in are bet
ter than the times past, than that young
ladles of good social position give them
selves to the- wbrk -of nursing the sick
poor." These words of the late eminent
surgeon. Sir James Paget, refer to an
activity in which the self-sacrifice of wom
en Is very apparent.
Think of how Felicia Skene denied her
self when Oxfbrd was attacked by cholera
and smallpox, in. 1S3. She would some
times find the sick and dying left quite
highest pleasure she makes the poor man
weak, inefficient and childishly selfish.
UniTlae Unelflshaes.
Unselfish mothers, too. must beware of
making their children selfish. The-mother
who Is continually giving up her time,
money, health and .pleasure for the grati
fication of her children teaches them to
expect It always. They learn to be Im
portunate in their demands, and to ex
pect more and more. If the mother wear
an old gown that her Idle son may have
a new coat, If she work that he may
clay, she Is helping to make him vain
selfish and good-for-nothing. The wise
mother will Insist upon being the head of
her household, and with quiet, unobtrusive
dignity she will hold that place. She
should never become the subject of her
own children. Even In such external mat
ters as dress and furniture she should
be better equipped, so that from earliest
years her children may learn to look
alone In a house, and had to tend them ; up to and not down upon their mother,
