In the olden time men had highest regard for women.

The best authors honored worn Shakespeare's finest characters his heroines, Ruskin says he has heroes. There is hardly a play t has'not a perfect woman in it. also says that the catastrophe every play is caused always by fault or folly of man; the redei tion, if there be any, by the wisd and virtue of a woman, and fail this, there is none! Scott's b characters are all women, Flora ] Ivor, Rose Bradwardine, etc, W him as with Shakespeare it is women who watches over, teacl and guides the youth. To go 1 ther back, Spenser in his "Fa< Queene" has for his leading chai ter a woman. Chaucer wi "A Legend of Good Women," of good men. So, you see, d girls, you were not made to be m butterflies; you must be someth as well as look sweet. To be v rounded, the soul and mind must cultivated also.

The young minister had too much @ respect for the sex to use force to as bring about a suspension of the. birthday remembrance, and he was @ 4 too dignified to run, so he took it for /Et f the most part where his mother applied it in childhood days, but the ^ effect was more pronounced and last- /K Witch hazel, arnica .and other & pain killers were applied in the hope /K that he might get to that meeting ? < Onn^or hut oil in vnin Hp was tftfi lOt 4 sore to pray, preach or sit down. v /K To Convert Republicans. @ ' Anderson, Aug. 27.?Jn the course of his address before the Red Shirt A < crowd here yesterday, Senator Till- XC man said that the chief object of w his making addresses before, north- A ern audiences was to convert enough Republican congressmen and sena- W tors to assist him in repealing the A 15th amendment.
