»nd told her what f thought of it after
tie went out to his work. She looked
tind of frightened, and pretended she
was going to cry, and then she spoke up
quick like and said:
“ Sister Janet, it’s a triumph of mind
aver matter. You can waah now, and
apk - be all tired out, and sick and nerv
ous, and—and—John can afford iL”.
Perhaps if I had known that she had
paid for it all. and it hadn’t cost John a
ant, I might have been more forgiving,
bnt I just straightened up and said :
“ Mrs. Elliot, yon may go on and rniii
four husband with your boarding-school
ideas, but, as for me, I’ll never touch
the thing*. I can work, thank good
ness, while Tve got my health. I wasn’t
brought up in idleness.’’
She never took it to heart a bit; tha
next thing I knew she waa at th* little
parlor organ she had, singing and play
ing as if that was all there was in life.
And that silly old minister—men never
do have a bit of sense, bnt yon expect
more of a preacher of the gee pel—bnt
he just at and talked to her as if she
was a companion for him, and they
walked about the fields and stayed down

wife- she was so different in her ways
from me—but when I heard that baby
cry, I felt thrilled to my very soul, and
I just threw my work-apron over my
head and cried for the first time in
year*.
Myra didn’t get strong, and the days
went on and still she didn’t get np, and
I felt it waa my duty to go and tell her
that she mustn’t favor herself that way,
that she couldn't lie abed and* let stran
gers take care of her child, and that
ahe’d never get strong till she’d got out,
bnt I made up my mind to speak in a
gentler sort of way. I had beeif think

Myra lire her own way and not try to
make her over, especially since John
seemed so well satisfied with her, and I

It fell In the way of Malthus in his
celebrated work on population to search
in the accounts of travelers for those
causes which operate, in different coun
tries of the world, to check the progress
and to limit the numbers of mankind.
Foremost among these is vice, and fore
moat among th* vices is that-most un
natural one, of the cruel treatment of
women. “ In every part of the world, ”
•ays Malthas, “ on* of the most general
characteristics of the mvage is to de
spise and degrade th* female sex.
Among most of th* tribes in America
their condition is so peculiarly grievous
that servitude is a name top mild>tajl&.
■crib* their wretched state. A wife is
no better than a beast of burden. While
the ifian passes his days in idleness and
amusement, the woman is condemned to
incessant toil. Tasks are imposed upon
her without mercy, and services are re
ceived without complacence or grati
tude. There are some districts in Amer
ica where this state of degradation has
been ao severalv felt that mothers have
deatmyad their female infants, to de
liver them at coo* from a life in which
they were doomed to such a miserable
slavery. ” It is impossible to find f<«
this moat vicsoo* tendency any pi
among the uni ties of nature. There w
■<’thing like it among th* beasts. With
them the equality of th* sexes, as re
gards all th* enjoymeato as well as all

earth mound 7x14 feet, aa iron pillar ft
feet high, 8 inches square at the bottom,
and 4 inches at tbe top ; timber pasta 5
f<vt high and 8 inches square. There
are 882 of them marks between the Lake
of the Woods and the bee* of the Rocky
mountains. That portion of th* Itound-
ary which lies east and west of the Red
river valley ia marked by cast-iron pil-
larw at even-mile intervals. Hie Hntiali
place one every two miles and the United
States one between each two British poets.
Our pillars or markers were made at
Detroit, Mich. They are hollow iron
castings, three-eighths of an inch in
thickness, in the form of a truncated
pyramid, 8 feet high, 8 inches square at
the bottom and 4 inches at the top, as
l>efore stated. -
They have at the top a solid pyramidal
cap, and at the bottom an octagonal
flange one inch in thickness. Upon the
opposite faces are cast in letters two
idles high the inscriptions, “Convention
of London” and “Oct. 20, 1818."
The inscriptions begin abont four feet
six inches above the base, and read up
ward. The interiors of the hollow posls
are filled with well-seasoned cedar posts,
sawed to fit, and securely spiked through
spike-holes cast in the pillars fdr that
purpose. The average weight of each
pillar when completed is eighty-fiv«>
pounds. The pillars are set four feet in
the groand, with their inscription faces
to the north and aouth, and the earth is
well settled and stamped about them.
For the wooden post* well aemoned logs
are selected, and th* portion above the
groand painted red, to prevent swelling
and shrinking. ThsM peats do very

careless-looking stranger wm walking up
Mission street, when he observed a lot of
hoodlums clustered round the gate of a

woman wm weeping bitterly, surrounded
by her terrified children. A scanty array
of household goods on the pavement
showed that it wss a case of ejectment.
“What are you abasing that woman

addressing an ill-favored individual who
wm carrying out th* furniture.
“I ain’t abusing her,” growled the
landlord-j “ahe can't pay her rent, and

“ Twenty-two dollars.”
“ Hero, take it out of that,” and the
