"O! for a higher sphere of usefulness!
I feel such an unnatural longing to do
something anil be something that is
worthy of more than a passing notice;
something that will give my namo a
place among the gifted ones of our na
tion and win for me a bright crown in
heaven. Surely I am capable of better
things. "What I daily acccomplish
cooking, washing dishes, and chamber
work are all well enough, and very es
sential no doubt; but I have nobler
aims and higher aspirations. I grant
that it is a pleasant duty, and ono that
I do not mean to neglect, to train our
two little olive branches in a way that
will be an honor to their parents, but
ought my own household to claim all
my attention? Are there not others to
whom I owe something? Have I no
talent hidden in a napkin ? But still,
what time have I for any more than I
already do ? I am altogether overtasked
with that kind of work, too, against
which my feelings rebel. If I were rich
now, I might hire that done, and cm
ploy my time in what? "What am I
capable of doiug ? Alas! ray education
has been sadly neglected, and I fear I
am unfit for anything buta mere house
keeper; and I am too old, if I had the
means, to fit my sol f for anything more
useful than my present occupation. But
am I really too old ? Let me see. I
was twenty-two last birthday. Old
why, what might I not yet accomplish
if I were not married, and did not have
these two blessed babies? But husbaud
and babies need be no drawback. These
are a still greater incentive to my work,
I will try by the aid of the kind Father
in heaven to be content with my lot.
And should there be no path open for
me to earthly fame, Lord, grant that thy
erring child may, by quiet deeds of love
in her own little world, win for herself
a bright crown in heaven."

iuu9 suiiitHiuiseu .Mrs. ugueii one
bright summer morning, as she cleared
away the breakfast things, and put her
llttlo sitting room in order.
This same Eunice Ogden was no ordi
nary woman, ueing naturally very
sensitive from childhood, she bad ever
been yearning for love and sympathy.
Her mother died when she was only
eleven years old just old enough to ap
preciate her loss. For a while she lived
with a married sister, who was bringing
up a family of small children of her own.
and consequently did not havo much
surplus petting for lonely little Eunice.
After a few years her father married a
widow with several small children, and
then of course she was placed under the
care of a step-mother, who, although
very Kind, good woman, had no very
exalted idea of rearing "iris.
Eunice passed her time as most girls
do in the country. She was sent regu
larly to the district school, where she
acquired a tolerable knowledge of the
ordinary branches of the English lan
guage. This and nothing more. Hav
ing a natural taste for reading, and there
being no one who was sufficiently in
terested in her welfare, aud, at the same
time capable of selecting reading most
suitable for her, she fed her taste on fic
tion and romance. She often fait a
stroug desire to live a belter life. She
longed to bo famous of in the world of
literature. But here the lack of suffi
cient education stood In her way. Her
T1IK
, . , ,, t,. i
lamer was iuu jwui ivccuw uui uhuj iu
school, and tho facilities for learning
near home were very inferior; and Eu
nice lacked the determination to acquire
an education herself. So the days drift
ed by, and ere she had reached her eigh
teenth birthday, she attracted the atten
tion of ayoung man in the neighborhood
who was in every way worthy of her;
and when he sought her hand in mar
riage she gave it willingly and her whole
heart with it. And thus she launched
forth in the sea of matrimony, with her
mind full of generous resolves snd noble
impulses, but with so little determina
tion of character, that they were scon
wrecked on the shoal of domestic diffi
culties, and here she began her real life.
The end of three years found Eunice
and her husband with one child (having
just lost their eldest), shattered in
health, broken in spirits, and the rem
nant of their little fortune fast wasting
away. So they decided to try frontier
life for awhile, with the three-fold pur
pose of recovering their health, bright
ening their spirits nnd buildingup their
fortune.
And hear, at the opening of our story,
near the foot of the mountains, and less
than five hundred miles from the shore
of tho Pacific, we find them. An infant
daughter has been added to their little
family, which partly consoles them for
the child they lost Their health is re
gained and they have fair prospects of
bettering their fortune.
The lack of society is a great tiling to
cause a woman to turn her thoughts in
ward. And here, in this solitude, the
better part of Mrs. Ogden's nature be
gan to assert itself, and gave rise to the
words that introduced her to tho reader.
As she had grown older her force of
mind had become stronger; and now
tho thoughts within her were not so cosi
ly quelled, but kept rising up until she
resolved: "I will do something yet. I
will make somebody of myself that the
world shall notice. I can borrow books,
and occasionally get a little time to read;
and by the llmo we are ready to return
to civilized life I may be learned enough
to take my place among the aspirants
for fame." How well she kept her word
we shall see.
Ten years havo passed away. In a
pleasant sitting-room of a neat house in
one of our western cities, sits a lady.
Do we not recognise her? Yes, It is Mrs.
Ogden. The same, and yet changed.
Her face has a more refined expression.
Her dress Is neat, and even elegant, as
are all her surroundings. Near her
stands a bright boy of perhaps twelve
years, with cap in hand, and books
ready strapped, waiting for his mother
to give the farewell touches to his hair
ere he departs for school. By his side
stands his little sister; as fair a flower as
ever bloomed outside of Paradise. Their
mother has been through all their les
sons with them, and they start off to
school with tho knowledge that they
can stand unblushlnciv beforo their
teachers, and aniwer each question con
cerning them.
After bidding tliem "good-bye." Sirs.
Ogden mado her way to tho kitchen
with the intention ot civiug so mo di
rection about the dinner. But she had
scarcely reached that apartment, when
the housemaid came in with tho intel
ligence that, "Miss Martin is in the
parlor."
Very well, Maryf you can finish tho
chamber work, and Ivaty, you can wait
for your directions until her call is end
ed, for she never has time to stay long."
Lina Martin was one of Mrs. Ogden's
dearest friends. Five years before when
she bad just commenced writing for the
newspapers, Miss Martin was ono of the
few friends who stood by her in all her
struggles to override tho bitter preju
dice with which the public viewed her
"strong-minded" ideas, as. the ignorant
were wont to style them.
"Good morning, Lina," was Mrs.
Ogden's greeting, "I hope I see you
well."
"Quite well, thank you. There is no
need to ask you the same question, you
look so blooming."
"My health is unusually good this
season. But where have you been keep
ing yourself? I haven't seen you for a
wees."
un, j. nave been extremely busy. I
spent last evening at the house of a
friend, and hearing your name in everv
body's mouth, I decided to come and of
fer you my congratulations for the well
merited applause which your last arti
cle in thenar has called forth. Itmust
be happiness for you to write."
"It is indeed, but not In the way you
think. Atone time in my life I thought
such praise would be happiness enough,
but now I find happiness in the knowl
edge of the power for good my writings
have over tho minds of the working
women. Lina, I know you are a true
friend to me, and when" I relate to you
an incident of yesterday, I trust you
will not mistake my motives:
"I went down town and, as I wa3 com
iug out of Colby's,lBaw two womeu, evi
dently of the working class, comiug up
the street justa fewsteps away. As they
caught sight of me, ono of them caught
the other by the dress saying, 'there she
is; there is Mrs. Ogden, now.' 'Are you
sure?' said the other, as they camo on
behind me. 'Yes, ono who is acquaint
ed with her pointed her out to me at
Church last Sunday. 'I'm going to
speak to her, then,' and ere the other
could detain her she had hurried on to
my side, and touched my arm.
" 'Are you Mrs. Ogden, the author
ess ?' " she asked.
" 'I am Mrs. Ogden, and I write some
times, I replied; 'what do you wish?'
" 'You'll excuse my speaking to you, but
i did so want to tell you how much
good your last article in the Star did
me and all my neighbors. O, you do
not know how eagerly wo search the pa
lcrs for something from your pen. And
when we have found it, ltow we devour
every word, finding nothing that does
not encourage and elevate. Your name
is fast becoming a household word
among us.' "
"Can you amagine my feelings as I
took tho good woman's hand nnd
thanked her for her kind words of
praise? And when her way diverged
from mine, she pressed my hand and
said, 'God bless you, Mrs. Ogden, and
may Ho grant you many days to bright
en our lives with sweet and tender
words from your pen.' Do you wonder
that my eyes moistened with tears, or
that my heart was too full for utterance;
or that I could but silently return her
hand preasure at parting?"
"I know this much," said Lina, her
own eyes full of tears, "that youare the
truest woman I ever knew. You must
be very happy, and you richly deserve
to be."
"Come in often, Lina," was Mrs.
Ogden's parting salutation half an hour
later. " You are always welcome."
"There is no place I would prefer to
go," said Lina, as she went down the
steps.
Aud now, readers, we will also take
our leave, with the knowledge that hard
as were some of Mrs. Ogden's endeavors
to reach thecminencc on which she now
stands, the pleasant thoughts that now
fill her mind are well worth the strug
gle.
Arc there not many women whose
minds are often crowed with such
thoughts as Mr. Ogden had on the morn
on which we first made her acquaint
ance? And would it not be well worth
whiio for such to make a trial nnd see
what they can do?
They may not all succeed as well as
she, but they will at least bo happier
for having mado the effort.
Position Notes.
No change in gentleman's fashions is
to be noted.
"White sealskin is anew fur which will

Monograms on note paper havo gone
completely out of fashion.
Everything Is loaded witit trimming
from the slipper to the bonnet.
Tho most fashionable Jewelry at pres

The Elizabethian ruffs are assuming
proportions more ponderous and awe-lu-splring
than ever.
The skirts of ridintr habits should only
bo fourteen inches longer than the ordi
nary dress-skirt.
Pumns and black silk stockings, with
scarlet cloaks, are the proper things for
geutlemau's full dress.
The blue colors with win to spots, so
much worn ilnrinr tho summer, still
continue in favor in heavier materials.

Bows for tho hair and neck are worn

"Watered ribbon sashes are very popu

Corsets and Christianity. A lady
who had chartro of a voutic ladies'
Bible class, speaking of defective home
training, said that her best pupil, IS
years of age, had caused her the most
acute anxiety. Bain or shine sho was
always at her post. Tho girl's whple

"Well, you sec," said the parent, "Fan

the boy's face, and in a littlo time those
around him mado up a purso sufficient
to save his dog, and a person went with
him after a license. Tho boy's eyes
sparkled at his uucxpocted luck, and
speaking to the dog, he cried out, "ou

Asking for Money.
One of the very best wives and moth
ers T have ever known once said to mo
that, whenever her daughters should be
married, she should stipulate in their
behalf with their husbands for a regu
lar sum of money to be jiald them, at
certain intervals, for their personal ex-
Eenditures. Whether this sum was to
o larger or smaller was a matter of sec
ondary importance that must depend
on the income and the style of living
but the essential tiling was that it
should come to the wife regularly, so
that sho should no more have to make a
special request for it than her husband
wouin uavu iu uh iiL-i lur a dinner.
This lady's own husband was, as I hap
pened to know, of a most generous dis
position, was devotedly attached to her,
and denied her nothing. She herself
was a most accurate and careful mana
ger. There was everything in the
household to -make the .financial ar
rangements flow smoothly. Yet she
said to me, "I suppose no man can pos
sibly understand how a sensitive woman
shrinks from asl-iny for money. If I
can prevent it, my daughters shall
never have to ask for it. If they do
their duty as wives and mothers they
have a right to their share of the joint
income, within reasonable limits; for,
certainly, no money could buy the ser
vices they render. Moreover, they have
a right to a share in determining what
those reasonable limits are."
Now It so happened that I had my
self gone through an experience which
enabled me perfectly to comprehend this
feeling. In early life I was for a time
in the employ of a kind friend who paid
me a fair salary, but at no definite pe
riods; I was at liberty to ask him for
money whenever I needed It. This
seemed to me, in advance, a most agree
able arrangement; but I found it quite
otherwise. It proved to be very disa
greeable to ask for money it made ev
ery dollar seem a special favor; it
brought up all kinds of misgivings, as
to whether he could spare it without in
convenience, whether he really thought
my services wortii it, and so on. My
employer was a thoroughly upright nud
noble man and I was much attached to
him. I do not know that he ever re
fused or demurred when I asked for
motley. The annoyance was simply in ',
the process of asking, and this became
so great that I often underwent,serious
inconvenience rather than ask. Final
ly, at the year's end, I surprised my
friend very much by saying that I
would accept, if necessary, a lower sal
ary, on condition that it should be paid !
on regular days, and as a matter of bus
iness. Tiio wisii was at onco granted,
without the reduction ; aud my em
ployer probably never knew what a re
lief it was to me.
Now if a young man is liable to feel
this pride and reluctance toward a mere
employer, it is easy to understand how
many women may feel the same even
in regard to a husband. And I fancy
that those who feel it most are often tho
most conscientious and high-minded
women. It is unreasonable to ay of
sucii persons, "Too sensitive!
persons, "Too sensitive! Too fas
tidious!" For it Is this verv duality of
finer sensitiveness which men affect to
prize in a woman and wish to protect at I
all hazards. The very fact that a bus- chair beside her, when her dress that
band is generous; the very fact that his she lias not had lime to change smells

position Iu which ti man can place his '
wife is to treat her at least as well as he
would treat a house-keeper a ml give her
the comfort of a perfectly clear ami defi
nite arrangement as to money matters.
She will not then be under the neces
sity of nerving herself to solicit from
him as a favor what she really needs i
aud has a right to spend. Nor will she
be torturing ucrscii, on me otucr side,
with the secret fear lest she has asked
too much and more than they can really
spare. She will, iu short, be in the po
sition of a woman aud a wife, not of a
child or a toy.
I have carefully avoided using the
word "allowance" iu what I have said;
because that word seems to imply the
untrue aud mean assumption that the
money is all the husband's, to give or
withhold as he will. Yet I have heard
this sort of talk from men who were
living ou a wife's property or a wife's
earnings; from men such as keepers of
boarding houses, who worked a little
while their wives worked hard and
' from men, such as farmers, who worked
nam anu maue meir wives worK naruer.
Even in cases where the wife has no di
rect part in the money-making, tiie in
direct part sho performs, if she takes
faithful charge of her household, is so
essential, so beyond all compensation
in money, that it is an utter shame and
impertinence in the husband when he
speaks of "giving" money to his wife
as if it were an act of favor. It is no
more an act of favor than when the bus-

At the students' aunual debate at He
gent's Park College, Eugland, March
25th, many prominent Baptists were
present nnd took part Iu tho discussion
of the question: Ought women to preach?
A young lady closed tho discussion in
au eloquent speech and the question
was decided In the afilrmatlve.
Woman's Bights.
That women have certain rights that
even the lords of the soil will not deny
is a proposition that admits of no ques
tion. It is of these rights that we talk.
It is a woman's right to be supplied witli
labor-saving appliances to assist her in
the labor of the house. The husbaud
purchases a mower at the expense of
several hundred dollars, while he ex
pects the good wife to make his shirt",
the boys' pants aud girls' dresses, In the
old fashioned way with a needle and
thread, when a sewing machine can be
bought that a girl of nine years can run
for $50. If such a purchase is mentioned
she is told that the com in tho east lot
is poor, and the oats across the way will
hardly pay for cutting, and the whole
matter was treated as if a luxury that
could easily be dispensed with was
asked for. Tills spring a new horse-rake
was boucht for the farm that cost Per
sians $123; but who thought of buying
a Ktutting-iuaciiiue mat cost Ana
yet socks wear out and old needles must
be run each evening the year round to
keep the family in socks, while with
one of those machines a year's supply
for the family might be prepared by
one of the youngsters in a few after
noons. A cultivator comes home in a
new wagon, but tho old wash-board is
brought out regularly every Monday
morning, and no washing-machine is
ever thought of, A threshing-machine
is hired to do tho work of a flail, but at
ths cistern the old hook is good enough
for the "women folks" to draw the wa
ter with, when for SO a good Iron pump
could be provided that, with proper
usage, would last for years. And so it
goes, one year after another, and the
wife becomes old aud wrinkled, and the
girls register vows that they will never
live on a farm.
It is true the money is often hard to
get, to purchase many of these conven
iences, but it is better to go without
some unnecessary things that are bought
until they can be procured. If they can
not be procured any other way, set aside
some small resource for which a small
income Is derived, aud let it be devoted
to the purchase of those labor-saving
implements. Let the hens pay for them;
instead of swapping the eggs for sugar
orginguam euougn lor an apron, lay
aside tho cash they bring for tills pur-
nose. Give one of the girls a pig and
let her fat aud sell it, and if she knows
that the price of that porker is to bo de
voted to trie purchase ot something to
lessen the drudgery of house-keeping, It
is altogether probable mat it win uctiie
heaviest pig in the pen in the fall
Aside from the help these things are
to womeu on the farm, there is another
and grauder reason why they should be
in every farmer's home, and that is the
eflect they have, incidentally, on the
farmer's family. What boy can retain
very lofty feelings of reference or re
spect for his mother when the moment
she sits down after tea she fails asleep
in her chair, exhausted by the labors '
of the day? He may pity her, but j
what interest does be feel in telling her '
what he had read, when he knows she !
does notgeta respite from her household
drudgery to look in a book from one
year's end to another?
How much
pleasure does lie take in
drawing his
chines do the drudgery iu tho hay-field,
ami why not at the wash-tub? They
rake and pitcli the hay, aud why not
knit the stockings? They hoe the corn,
and why not sew the shirts? If any one
can find an answer to tlie.se queries, let
them be published.
A NicniT of Trillion. The sexton of
St. Joseph's Cathedral at Vienna, being
n man of extraordinary nerve ami bold
ness, was accustomed to stand on the
pinnacle of the tower whenever the
Emperor mado a grand entrance into
the city, and wave a flag as the pageant
passed by. When, however, Leopold,
who had just been chosen Emperor of
Frankford, was about to enter the city,
the loyal sexton, still anxious to be true
to the old customs, but finding that
years had told against his nerve, de
clared that any one who would take his
place successfully should win his daugh
ter. Gabriel Peteraheim, who was dis
liked by the sexton, but beloved of the
daughter, at once accepted the oiler, to
the disgust of the sexton, who then ar
ranged with two villains to close the
trap-door of the upper stairway while

emancipated its mothers and daughters
by opening to them the elective fran

of slavery and feudal barbaric rule after
another. Its latest movement In this
direction has been an amendment which
gives to the married woman equal prop

marriage union by uunuing it. upon me
rock of equality, Instead of tho quick
sands and shoals of womanly subjection,
which lias caused so much infinite do
mestic misery from the daysof Xan
tippe to those of modern divorce.
Section 914 of the new code of State
laws reads as follows:
Skc-. 914. When a married woman,
entitled to an estate iu fee, is authorized
by power to dispose of such estate dur
ing marriage, she may by notice ofsucli
power create any estate which she might
create if uumarried.
In a business point of view this sec
tiou gives woman unlimited equality,
since if shecau procure sufficient capital
to engage in any bread-earning pursuit,
ami if she should, like man, succeed in
amassing a fortune thereby, the law will
not stand iu her way, but enfranchise
her from her husband's control aud tpae
dixit, the same as though sho were un
married, rendering her safe not only
from his creditors, butalso from himself
if lie wished to appropriate her earnings.
Tho Los Angelos Star in commenting
upon this amendment remarks that "it
is the corner stone of Woman'slJights,"
and adds that if the ballot is refused
to women after this, society will be
greatly in fault, since when woman
proves that she is competent to engage
successfully in the bread-earning avo
cations of life, she is certainly fit to
vote. Whiio we heartily congratulate
tlie Star upon Its enlightened views,
which, after all, are only thoe of com
mon justice, we aver that if beingcapn

caging in the business avocations of life,
be a fit test of full citizenship, then
thousands upon thousands of women in

as fully entitled to the ballot as men.
Woman has proved that notwith

self-support, but of the maintenance of
others dependent upon her exertions;
and the reason why she is so seldom the 1 tli and she refused to comply, stating

A Xew York correspondent of the Bos

concerning Frank Walworth and Ills
mother: "Mrs. Walworth Is now' ami

enduring for her son's sake, and workiug
for him when there is work to do..' She
is perfectly and absolutely Indifferent to

And in his own case, life inside the pris
on means, as it lias outside for many
years, 'my mother.' Ho never admits
toher, or to any member of the family,
that hp feels the confinement, the labo'r,
the coarse food, or any hardships of the
prison. He claims, as he has from the
first, that he committed no crime, be
cause ht5 acted in self-defence, therefore
he does not feel his punishment as a deg
radation. For, during six months at a
time lie slept outside his mother's door
unknown to her, to prevent a night at
tack from the family persecutor. Here
is a fact not generally known: There was
a broken chair found iu the room where
the fatal altercation took place, and
there were other evidences which, jf uses
had had been made of them, would have
established beyond a doubt tho plea of
self-defence, aud a friend actually plead
ed with Frank Waiwortn to swear mat
his father had broken the chair in at
tempting to use it as a weapon of offence
against him. This Frank point blank
refused to do, declaring that not to save
himself from the gallows would he de
part from the truth. Friends, as well
meaning, begged Mrs. Walworth to show
more feeling at the trial, urging that it
might produce a good eHect. 'I can do
nothing for eflect,' she said; 'I was nev
er an actress, and ray sufferings have
taught me self-control.' "
A California court has decided that it
is the duty of a stewardess on board a
vessel to wash the captain's shirts. A
ship landed at Sau Francisco from New
York, and the stewardess of the vessel
placed a bill of $45 for washing the cup
tain's shirts in the bauds of a court for
collection, the captain objecting to the
payment of tho same, stating that he
had been a sea-captain for sixteen years
and had never paid a cent for having
his linen washed. On his last trip he
had ordered the stewardess to the wa-ih-
other dav. The wretched woman cast
but one lingering, reproachful glance
upon her lord, aud lied, simply observ
ing, as she departed, that the briny deep
should wash away the insult. Leaving
