DIAR MOTHER'S GROWING OLD.
Her eye la not bo lustrous,
Her to1o hu lea. or cheer.
While in her hair, once dark U Bight,
The threads of gray appear.
And ah ! I am reminded.
When I her face behold.
That though afce .till 1 brautlful.
Dear moihex'a growing old.
Her cheeks have loet their glory,
fco like the blush of morn;
Eer smiles nave flown that ued to bless
The heart when sorrow worn.
And when I mark her step that
Was buoy&nt once and bold,
I cannot he'p the thought, so sad.
That mother's growing old.
Turn back the year. O Father t
Ana make her young once more.
Just a my soul remembers her
In happy days of yore;
When at her side my life la
Full gladness did unfold.
And I. a little child, dreamed not -
Dear mother would grow old.
Bevond these hours so fleeting.
Beyond earth's toils and tears.
In that sweet land I hope to gain
Beyond there mortal years,
Kotaing shall waste her pure life,
But beauty manifold.
iih happiness shall crown her lot.
And moiher'll ne'er grow Old.
THE NEW MINISTER.
Scragg End suddenly decided that
instead of occasional preaching by the
Ponkapawket minister, it was entitled
to a "stated supply." No longer would
it go without the "regular gospel priv
ileges." Adoniram Hewett, whose father had
been a deacon, was deputed to make
application to th proper authorities in
that denomination to which Scragg End
almost universally belonged for a minis
ter to supply the Soraeg End pulpit, or
rather the school desk until a church
should be bnilt.
AdoniraarH'mitt received an encour
aging answer to his application. A very
earnest and talented young preacher,
lately graduated from a theological sem
inary, would at once be sent to Scragg
End.
The minister was to board at Adoni
ram Hewitt's, the Hewitts being well-to-do
berond the majority of Scragg End
people, and being regarded as possessing
book-learning.which qualification would
make them congenial companions for a
minister.
Adoniram Hewitt's house presented a
' holiday appearance on that summer
afternoon when Lysander drove over to
Ponkapawket station to bring back the
minister.
As night came on Lysander drove up
with only a girl beside him. What
could be the reason that the minister
bad not come? The young lady was a
stranger. She had probably come -to
visit some one at Scragg End, and as
there was no one to meet her at the sta
tion, Lysander had brought her over.
Bat he was helping her out at their
own gate. She was walking up the path.
Mrs. Hewitt adjusted her glasses, and
satisfied herself that the face was unfa
miliar. She was a grave and dignified
young woman, with a self-possessed
manner, but with a bright flash on her
face. Why didn't Lysander oome up
and introduce her. instead of attending
to the horse.
"I suppose vou were expecting me,"
said the young lady, extending her hand
in a friendly wav. 1 am the new mm
ister Miss Barton."
As Mrs. Hewitt afterward declared,
"You could have knocked me down with
a feather." And her overwhelming as
tonibhment was so plainly shown that
the new minister became very much em
barraftsed.
Of conse you know certainly you
on s? Lit to nave been tola tnat tnat 1 was
a woman."
"Weuidn t Know. Wny. we never
thonght of such a thing. They didn't
say a word about it," exclaimed Mrs
Hewitt, and in her astonishment and dis-
. may she utterly ignored the outstretched
hand.
ine young lady Had a strong and res
olnte face, but Mrs. Hewitt suddenly
became aware that the orners of her
mouth were drooping, and there was a
hurt as well as a weary look in her face,
and an ner xnotaer compassion was
roused.
"Bat it don't make any .difference,
child I mean ma'am. I have no donbt
you can preach a3 well as half the men
We know what is going on in the world.
if we do live a good ways out of it, only
there never happened to be a woman
preacher anywhere about here, so it took
me by surprise. we believe in giving
women a fair chance herein Scragg End,
I can tell you.
"I was afraid you might have objec
tions." said the young lady, a smile
chasing the weariness out of her face.
"Oh. we shall think everything of
you, I've no doubt after a while. You
don't know what it is to be without
regular preaching as long as we have
Come right in and get nested, and have a
cup of tea, for I expect you ve had a
card journey. .
Before escorting her guest to'her room
Mrs. Hewitt managed to slip upstairs
and slyly abstract Lysander s new shav
ing set from the toilette table, where
she had placed it for the convenience of
the new minister.
It is undeniable that at the first receipt
of the news a general dismay overspread
ocragg End. The older people were
disposed to consider that a trick had
been played upon them, and were angry
accordingly, some even going so far as to
wish to have Mies Barton told that her
services could be dispensed with. But
nobody seemed willing to tell her, and
there was a great curiosity to hear her
preach.
There were a few courageous spirits
who openly avowed that they saw no
reason why a woman should not preach,
and were glad to have one for a minis
ter. Many complained of Miss Barton's
youth, but acknowledged that they
would not have objected on that score to
a young man of twenty-six or twenty
seven, which was her age.
There were sme who thought she was
too handsome for a minister, and others
who thought that since she was going to
set herself op for everybody to look at.it
was a pity that she was not handsomer;
some who thought women ought not to
preach at all, and others who thought
some women might be allowed to, but
a woman minister as a stated supply was
not what was wanted.
But in two Sundays Miss Barton con
quered Scrajrg End, except a few of the
most prejudiced, who would never own
themselves conquered. She was so sim
ple, so earnest, so sympathetic. There
were no long words, no far-fetched
analogies, such as Mr. Erioson used;
there was no rattling of the dry bones of
theology; she touched the chords that
vibrated in their every day life.
"She comes right home to you, that's
a fact," said Joshua King. . "She's scrip
tooral, too, and she makes as feeling a
prayer as ever I heard. I don't like to
see a woman in the pulpit, and I ain't
a going to say I do, but she's edifyin',
and no mistake."
"I never went to meetin before when
I didn't have terrible hard work to keep
from noddin', but somehow her talk is
kind of plain and sensible, and keeps me
Pettingill, who was
the congregation by
audible breathing. i
People flocked to Scragg End from far
and near to hear the new minister, at
first with much the same curiosity that
they would have shown to see a white
elephant, but soon for the sake of the
preaching. Nobody could quite ex
plain Miss Barton's popularity. Perhaps
old Mrs. Simmons came as near to the
truth as anybody when she said "she
wasn't any smarter than anybody else,
but someway she seemed just like own
folks. And she kuew just how folks felt
without boing told."
Ponkapawket was scandalizdd. It was
a disgrace to the whole town to have a
woman preacher holding forth every
Sunday, and drawing such crowds
drawing half tho congregation away
from the Ponkapawket church, too! The
deacons requested Mr. Erioson to preach
a sermon from the text: "Let your
women keep silence in the churches." i
Mr. Ericson was known to hold the
Woman's Rights movement in contempt;
but he had been twice to hear Miss Bar
ton preach, when there were no services
in his own church, and he had also
oalled upon her several times, and when
the deacons conferred with him about
preaching that sermon they found it im
possible to obtain any satisfaction; he
was very polite, and he did not say that
he would not, but '.'ho bmiling put tho
question by. i
One day he surprised Miss Barton by
inviting her to an exchange of pulpits
for the following Sunday; but that was
in harvest-time, and she had come to
Scragg End in June. Even Ponkapaw
ket had become accustomed to tho idea
of a woman preacher, if it did not ap
prove of it.
He had found her sitting on the piazza
on a warm afternoon in late September.
She had a large basketful of stockings
beside her, and was darning them dili
gently. Some were her own, some were
Adoniram Hewitt's and Lysander's, for
Roxy had gone away on a visit, and Mrs.
Hewitt's hands-were more than full. She
looked as housewifely as if she had never
aimed at any wider sphere. j
The shadow of a smile thickered about
Mr. Ericson's mouth as he observed her
employment. Although Miss Barton
looked up only as much as politeness re
quired, she saw the smile, and it
brought a flush to her cheek. Though
she lcoked so strong and resolute, it was
evident th&t Miss Barton was keenly
sensitive. I
He sat down beside her, and immedi
ately proffered his request, perhaps as
an autidote to the smile. '
"Your people would be shocked.
They don't approve of me," said Miss
Barton.
"I never suspected you of any want of
courage, said Air. riricson.
"I am a dreadful coward. I don t
think I fully realized it when I began.
If I had been sent anywhere .but to
Scragg End, I .don't know what I should
have done. Here they are humble
minded people, without strong preju
dices, and I do seem to have found the
way to their hearts. But I am afraid I
should never dare to enter another pul
pit certainly not yours at Ponkapaw
ket." "lou would soon conquer there as
vou have conquered here, said Mr.
Erioson.
"I couldn't endure their unfriendly
gaze. I should display all my woman-
ishness. I should blush, I should trem
ble, I might faint. I should be a stumbling-block
to the women who are fol
lowing in the tame pathway. I don't
mean to be that. My work in
End sufi!ce3 me, and I am so thankful
for it."
"I am sorry you feel so about Ponka
pawket, because I have a proposition in
my mind much more audacious than the
one that I made, said Mr. Ericson.
Miss Barton raised her eyes inquir
ingly, and dropped them again instantly
under the minister a gaze
"I thought we . might unite the
churches." Mr. Ericson's voice trembled
a little, as if he were afraid.
"I don't see how it could be done,
said Miss Barton, frigidly.
"Of course there is but one way," said
Mr. Ericson, quietly. "I dared not aek
you to be my wifo without suggesting to
you the fact that your wors need not be
given up.
The girl rose to her feet. Lysander s
stocking fell from her hand, and was
blown away by the wind, unheeded. "I
don't know what I have done to deserve
this this insult. I thought that at least
you respected me, and X tnougnt my
calling made me sacred-from such such
attacks altogether.
' I am sorry that you should think it
an insult. I can hardly see how a man
could give you a better proof of his re
spect than to ask you to become his wife
And as for your calling making you
sacred, we don't believe in the celibacy
of the cleriyy, yon know." In spite of
his evident mortification and distress.
there was a sly twinkle in Mr. Ericson's
eye as he said that. i
ButI--I am a woman, Raid Miss
Barton, sitting down again, and covering
her face with Ler hands
"The more reason why you should bo
married," said Mr. Ericson, calmly.
'You need a protector. i
"I am perfectly sufficient for myself.
And I shall never aire for anybody
anything but my work."
Mr. Ericson arose. "I am sorrv to
have troubled you," he said gently. "I
love you, aud I have never known what
it. was to love a woman before; that is all
my excuse." j
Miss Barton watohed him as he went
down the road, with the yellow leaves
falling upon him. She observed, as she
never had done before, how finely his
head was set upon his broad shoulders,
what a manly grace there was about his
strong, well-knit figure.
"But he has no business to love me.
she said, drawing her brows into a tight
frown. i
Then suddenly she remembered Ly
sander's stocking, and went down in the
grass to look for it. It had blown over
the fence into the field. . She stretohed
her arm between the slats and drew it
back. As eho did so she caught sight of
Lysander. He was gathering squashes
and pumpkins on tho little south hill;
she saw his figure in silhouette against
the bky. He started to come toward the
house, and she waited for hiai waited
until a sudden thought sent a flame of
color over her face.
"It can't be " she said, half aloud.
inqniringly. "I will keep that out of
my life. I won't be a failure! I won't
be!" And she rushed up to her room
aud locked herself in. j
She came down as calm and grave as
ever when the tea bell rang, and after
tea she and Lysander read their daily
quantity of Greek, for Lysander was
pursuing his studies with renewed avid
ity since he had a companion to help
him, and hsd not yet given up his long-
cherished hope of studying for the min
istry, though there seemed no prospect
of his being able to leave the farm. ;
After that day Miss Barton devoted
herself more zealously than ever to her
awake," said Luke
wont to disburb
work. She darned no more stockings.
When she was not writing her sermons,
she was visiting the sick and the poor,
and making, or suggesting and inducing
others to make, improvements, sanitary
and moral as well as religious.
"She was practical and efficient as if
she was not a woman," many people said,
and old Jeremy Grimes, who had wished
to tell her when she came that they did
not want a woman preacher, said: "They
couldn't have had such women in St.
Paul's time, or he never would have
written what he did."
But Mrs. Hewitt had a grievance.
Miss Barton didn't seem to make herself
one of the family as she used to. She
was shut up in her own room almost all
the time now, and she and Ly
sander didn't seem to get along together
as they used to. She never came into
the kitchen and wanted to help make
cake now, or sat with them around the
fire in the evening while Lysander read
aloud. She "didn't seem to have any
thing against them, but she wasn't free
and sociable any more."
Lysander was toaohing sohool this win
ter and attending to the farm work in
his leisure time. His habit of studying
with Miss Barton had gradually diedput.
To his mother's persistent questionings
Lysander replied that neither of them
had any time for it now.
Mrs. Hewitt could not make it out.
"Pa," who prided himself on being long
headed, hinted that he could, but he
would not say outright what he thought,
and his wife regarded hints with lofty
acorn.
One afternoon, after school hours, Ly
sander went down to the woods back of
the house to superintend the operations
of some men who were cutting timber.
Just at dusk Miss Barton, coming home
from a visit to a sick parishioner, en
countered four men carrying on an im
provised stretcher Lysander's apparently
lifeless body. He was lying white and
rigid, and there were scarlet spots upon
the ground all the way that he had come.
Down on her knees in the snow fell Miss
Barton, and threw her arms around him.
"Oh, my love! my love! have you gona
so far awy that you cannot hear me say
I do love you?" she cried. "I was cold
and hard because I thought it wa9 my
duty, bnt if you could only come back "
And then they had to raise Miss Bar
ton and carry her into the house, for she
had fainted.
"That's just what I could have told
you a good while ago if I had had a mind
to," said "Pa," as he rehearsed the scene
to his wife an hour afterward. "She's a
terrible sight like a woman if she is a
minister. And Lysander well, I calcu
late he won't complain of having his foot
out, if it does lay him up for a while.
I can't say whether she'll let him do the
preaching, or whether, they'll both do it,
but you'll see them married before sum
mer." "I don.t want anybody to think it's be
cause I'm a woman," said Miss Barton,
rather inconsequently, when Lysander
led her, blushing and tearful, to his
mother's arms. "But I didn't seem able
to help it. And Lysander saya I needn't
give up my work." Harper's Bazar.
To Necessity to Waste Time on Poetry.
Mr. Topnoody came home early
Wednesday evening, and as his wife had
not begun her supper arrangements, he
sat down near her and said:
"My dear, I had a minute for reflec

I d write some poetry on home.
"Drinking again. I suppose." she an
swered, significantly.

hardest hearts and brings back memories
sweet as heavenly music. But listen, my
dear:
Cling to thy home! If there the merest shel
Yield thee a hearth and shelter lor thy head.
And some poor plot with vegetable stored "
"Topnoody," interrupted his wife, "did
you see that man about spading up the
garden?"
"No. dear. I but hear the rest of
this:

Mrs. T.
"No, mv dear, but let me finish:
"Is thatall?" she asked.
"Yes, my dear."
"Well, I'm glad of it. And now go

Girl Life In India.
On the day of her wedding alio ia put
into a palanquin, shut up tight, and car
ried to her husband's . house. Hitherto
she has been the spoiled pet of her
mother; now she is to be the little -slave
of her mother-in-law, on whom she is to
wait, whose commands she is implicitly
to obey, and who teaohes her what she is
to do to please her husband; what dishes
be likes best, and how to cook them. If
this mother in-law is kind she will let
the girl go home occasionally to visit her
mother.
Of her husband she sees little or noth
ing, one is of no more account to mm
than a little cat or dog would be. There
is seldom, or never, any love between
them, and no matter how cruelly she
may be treated, she can never complain
to her husband of anything his mother
may do, for he would never take his
wife's part. Her husband sends to her
daily the portion of food that is to be
cooked for her, himself and the. chil
dren. When it is prepared she places it
on a large brass platter, and sends it to
to her husband's room. He eats what he
wishes, and thou the platter is sent back.
with what is left, for her and her chil
dren. They sit together on the ground
and eat the remainder, having neither
knivos, forks nor upoons. While she is
yea ig she never allowed to go any
where.
The little girls are married as young
as three years of age, and should the boy
to whom such a child - is married die the
next day, she is called a widow, and is
from henceforth doomed to perpetual
widowhood she can never marry again.
As a widow she must never wear any
jewelry, never dress her hair, never
sleep on a bed, nothing but a piece of
matting spread on the hard brick floor
and sometimes, in fact, not even that be
tween her and the cold brick; and, no
matter how cold tho night may be, she
must have no other covering than the
thin garment she has worn in the day.
She must eat but one meal of food a day,
and that of the coarsest kind; and once
in two weeks she must fast twenty-four
hours. Then not a bit of food, not a
drop of water or medicine must pass her
lips not even if she were dying.- She
must never sit down or speak in the
presence of her mother in-law, unless
they command her to do so.
Her food must be cooked and eaten
apart from the other woman's. She is a
disgraced, a degraded woman. She may
never even look on at any of
riage ceremonies or festivals,
be an evil omen for her to do
the mar
It would
so. She
may have been a high-caste Brahminio
woman; but on her becoming a widow,
any, even the lowest servant, may order
her to do what they do not like to do.
No woman in the house must ever speak
one word of love or pity to her, for it is
supposed that if a woman shows the
slightest commiseration to a widow, she
will immediately become one herself.
It is estimated that there are 80,000
widows in India under sixteen years of
age. The prevalence of suicide among
young females is so great that it has
been brought to the attention of the
courts. This can be traced to the op
pressive control exercised by the mother-in-law
in household matters over the
daughter-in-law,' independently of and
uncheoked by the interference of the
husband. The son is expected to take
the part of the mother against the wife.

A. Boyal Name for a Common Drug.
At Croton common drugs are sold at
all the stores. Recently an Irishwoman
entered one of them and said to a new
clerk:
"Would yees be after putting up for
me a pound of Queen Annie's powder?"
The clerk took down a package of bak
ing powder and was doing it up when
she exclaimed:
"Not at all, at all; me Patrick is sick
wid the African faver."
"What fever?" inquired the clerk.
"The faver 'nagur,' replied the woman.
"And yees should see poor Patrick shake.
He hasn't a tooth left, and but for the
chapeness of shad we would not be able
to kape his clothes on."
The woman got the quinine which she
wanted.
It is a fact vouched for by the oldest
inhabitants that during the shad season
many of the people cannot change their
clothes; not from the arduousness of the
work, but because of the number of fish
