I PLTJ EEMBMBER YOU Iff MY
PBAYBBS.
When the curtains of night are pinned hack
- *by the stars, v
And the beautiful moon leaps the skies,
And the dewdrops of fieaveu are kissing the
. ..rose.'.;
It is then that my memory flies.
As if on the wings of some beautiful dove,
Tn,baste with the roessage it bears,
Tb bring you a kiss of affection and say,
**F11 remember yon, love, in my prayers."
CHORUS.
Go~wh*re yon will-at land qr at sea
Tit share aft your sorrow and cares ;
Aad at night, when I kneel by my bedside
. and pray,
PB*remember jon, love, in my prayers.
? bare loved yon too fondly to ever forget
?be love you hare spoken to rae,
And the kiss of affection still warm on my
- Wbsa von.toldme how true yon would be,
I know not if fortune be fickle.or friend,
OT if* rime on your raetnory wears ;
I know that -I love yon wherever you roam,
A-nd-remember yon love in my prayers.
When heavenly angels are guarding the
1 . good;
As Gothas ordained' them to do,
In answerto brayers I have offered to ilim,
I know there is one watching yon ;
And may its bright spirit be with* you through
; ltfi?,A.:
, ^or 'g?Me*yoo up Heaven's bright stairs,
And meet with tte one who bas loved you so
" true,
And remember*d you, love, in her prayers.
A GIRL'S PROBLEM.

. J^fln^ ?ore I think about it the more I
feel "that I snail never be able to pick
the tangles tn this puzzle of life, if
d?bot sit down and coolly spread oat
on pape/ toe ss m of my untold, in tan- *
gi We grievances and perplexities.
If I ran my finger slowly and care
folly along their knotted intricacies, if
I tonco and measure them by square
and role, it may be that I shall succeed
in making oat their meaning, and
where on earth their snarled and netted
thread will lead me at last. I hate
stumbling and groping about in a
maze of doubts and wonders, stubbing
mT^^?es against craggy ..ifs," and
"WS?9 and "anas," and "moy be
so's/* It seems to*ne, after these mil
Ko? year? of experience in bringing
girls into the world, it is time to know
what thx>y are here for, and what reason
antfr* justice there" may be in sniffling
.sud crying oat in a scandalized way a
tiny earnest, honest, original thing that
one of them, might feel inspired to dot
We are born, it strikes 'me, io a ter?
ribly haphazard fashion. There is no
plas or purpose about the business. It
is done. Eke everything that women
undertake, in a sort of resigned, slip- j
shod, bit or miss manner, with no clear j
comprenension, calculation, or determi?
naron respecting r-suits. And then
the whole botch and bungle of the affair
impiously shuffled off on Providence,
who bas to. stand sponsor for all kinds
of. nu man mistakes, and be besieged to
correct them in some sort of x miracu?
lous way without the slightest procer
of mortal assistance.
If it is the mission of women to be?
come mothers-as there's noMoubt it is
in the majority of cases-[ really think
they oogjjt to study their Heaven-ap?
pointed work with more earnest and
enthusiastic purpose than they do. I am
??f? tfar-tio?r%h?uMJnot-;jttst meekly
?womit themselves, as it were, to a sor?
rowful election, and take no provident
care for the life evolved from their own
beyond the finical elaboration of small
cktbes for the poor little body that is
only a shell for the soul, to which has
been given no conscious motive or
thoo? ht at all.
: Of course the whole rank and file of
motherhood would rise up and give me
tho signal of silence if I opeued this
subject, and politely inform me that I
talked of a matter of which I knew
nothing, and that I should modestly
mind *iny own- business-a thing I j
would -gladly do if I could find out j
what it is. But one fact I do know : j
if I nov ever called to be the mother of ]
girls, I will not turn them out on the j
world without a clear, distinct notion of
their place and part in it, and some
power and purpose of character to reach !
the aims with which they shall be in- ?
spired.
Now. I hope this doesn't sound like j
reproach to the mother of Margaret j
?lcKensie-God bless ber ! She bas j
done what she thought she could, ac- j
cording to her light, and the result is j
in.-ber four girls, who revolve in a j
dazed circle about their ceutral lu m i na- j
ry. the sole son and brother, the gift of j
grace and crown of glory tu the feint- j
nine family life.
'Perhaps I should say that the sum of
the mother's existence is in the boy,
and that the girls, after all, are only
the absorbents of his scattered rays, !
and shine by refiected light
- At any rate, Tom has a purpose, i
which is more than can be said of the ;
rest of us. Ile knows what he is aim- !
ing at, and he can give himself heart I
and soul to the accomplishment of his j
object, with every favoring influence to j
push him to his mark. Beyond this pur- ?
pose, I will not admit that he is superior ;
to his sisters, and if he had to live the j
sort Of vague, aimless life which they j
are expected to do, he would be just as !
soft, silly, shiftless and namby-pamby, j
and a thousand times more despicable, i
as a man without a sound, sensible pur- i
suit always is. To be sure, we are
very proud of him. He is our re pre- j
8entative of famiiy character, talent,
and accomplishment, and such super- j
fions energy as we have remaining, after ?
our laudable effort to beautify our per- j
sons.-is devoted to the comfort and
gratification of this prime factor aud ,
unit of our household, to which we j
girls stand as vacant ciphers, useful
only in multiplying his value. He
seems the motive power of our domestic
machinery, and when he comes home
we rush zealously to his service, with
easy chair, slippers, newspaper, his
favorite dishes, the latest bit of pleas?
ant gossip, the farthest-fetched and
most flattering complimeut. the tender?
est subservience to his opinions and
?wishes; all of whi?h he accepts and ap?
propriates with the royal condescension
of a superior being, to whom thes-e
things by right belong. I should like,
sometimes, to talk with, him about the
matters that occupy his thoughts out?
side the narrow limits of the house,
whose atmosphere, I feel, needs the ex?
pansion of a eurrent of air from the
great, breezy world now and then, just
to save it from otter stagnation, if no
more. "But Tom always stares in a j
surprised, contemptuous way when wc i
jfro^ion or expressa sentiment concern-1
ing any public affairs, and he eith<
shrugs his shoulders and resumes h
reading without response., or he giv*
us some indifferent answer, and chang?
ihe subject to one that he conside
within the range of feminine apprehei
sion. Poor Tom I Ile hasn't thought
great deal of anything outside his ow
particular line of interests, and Fm nt
insinuating any intention of wrong o
his part. By no means. Tom is a
right But I just simply long for
breath of bracing, stimulating air b<
youd the confines of domestic exped
ency, neighborhood gossip, and th
perplexing 'philosophy of clothes
which is the absorbing study of a girl
brief day.
Indeed, it is one of my trials, that
cannot understand why the art of drei
is such a vital priuciple with women
Of course it is a privilege-duty, if yo
choose name it so^-to present as attracl
ive externals as good sense and du
consideration of other obligations wil
permit ; but I cannot see why it is an
more incumbent on me than on Tout t
devote the energies of yvuth to the at
tainment of a fair fascinating exterior.
Truly, now, what would we think o
j Tom if he spent his leisure hours ii
I compounding and testing the virtues o
; cosmetics for his ruddy complexion
and bandolines for his straight blond
? hair, which, like mine, will not wavi
and run in pretty, clinging tendrils
without labored effort and constant at
teotion ? And where would the dea:
boy have found time for his protractec
studies in law, letting alone the working
up of a successful practice, if his mint
bad been taxed, and tossed, and ton
with the vexed question of fashion ii
pantaloons, the perplexing matter o
choice iii style and trimming for his
four dress coats, all of which must b(
matched by the still more distracting
problem of hats, mantles, gloves, lin?
gerie, and the whole bewildering para?
phernalia of thc toilet designed to en?
hance hts charms ?
A thousaud times more charming is
Tom in his plain, honest cloth, that, has
no shams at all, and costs him no
thought, his form erect with man I v
purpose, and his face aglow and atluill
with warm, eager interest in the living
issues pf his day I
And is it because we girls are so
shallow, false, and utterly lacking in
possibilities of mental development that
we must make such desperate, unremit?
ting efforts to win through the cultiva?
tion and adornment . of physical grace
and beauty alone? Might uot a rever?
sal of the order, and the adoption of
Tom's policy result more certainly and
effectually in the attractiveness so
ardently.desired ?
But, then, we really have nothing to
inspire us with a beauty that is not self
seeking, and absorbed in petty ambi?
tions and small triumphs. We have
each our little hobbies, certainly, which
give us blessed, soul-saviug iutervals of
self-forgetfulness, in which there may
be a limited expansion of thought and
feeling beyond our own narrow sphere
of personal interests au?! vauities.
Grace is devoted to the manufacture
of divers sorts of fancy work, bending
hours over the trifling details of some
.marvelous creation of her art; Chira
revels in the elaboration of most won?
derful toilets, adapted to the various
familiar styles; Moll delights in the
concoction of dainty, delicate dishes,
aud recreates in ' the study of cook?
books ; and Margaret-your humble
servant-finds her keenest pleasure in
the construction of original articles of
household use and ornameut, though
utterly nuable to carry out the concep?
tions of grace and beauty which haunt
her night and day.
With knowledge of mechanical laws,
and trained skiii in the use of tool?, I
think I might realize, in some degree,
my ideal of work , but I should never
be satisfied until I could become an
earnest, practical student in the art of
architecture, which has for me greater
fascination than all the arts, liberal,
polite, or fine. It seems not enough
that I may botch and buugle, iu a pri?
vate way, at house furnishings, and
walk the streets of my rural village
with every sense strained and pained
by the ugly Hues and angles and pro?
jections ot buildings that might as well
have been planned with some reference
to the laws of harmony and proportion
Once or twice in my life I have had
the pleasure of visiting a etty, where I
saw neither the splendid outlay of the
dry-goads palaces, so dazzling to
feminine eyes, nor the glory of brilliant
thoroughfares, gorgeous exhibition halls
and wonderful scenic display ; but I
went staring and stopping along the
crowded way, gaping delightedly, like
a verdant countryman, at every marvel
of architecture, and seeking madly all
places where there was likely to be
found any work in the line of my admi?
ration. And staring, studying, stay
in*;, unmindful of the press and burry
of the throng cloding on every side,
there came to me thrilling - inspirations
and suggestions of beauty that seemed
in roy power to create, or, at least, to
desigu, of I had the courage to seek
training and opportunity. Might this
consciousness of power he simply ti de?
lusion *: For I have noticed that ? ii ere
is very little mechanical gonius, or even
talent, among women. Their futile
efforts in that direction are always a
staudin^ joke with men. I account for
my exceptional taste and skill in
mechanics to constant, association in
childhood with my father at his car?
penter's bench, where, as a special pet
and favorite. I was permitted the use nf
lighter tools, and given waste bits of
wood with pleasant hints of their capa?
bilities, which it was thc delight of my
busy hands to prove.
? think my father was rarely gifted
in his chosen trade, and tinder more
favorable couditims would have left to
the 'world beau?iful mementos of his i
art; but he was considered too fanciful,
and too much devoted to fine work and
perfect finish to be appreciated by his
country patrons whose needs did not
compass his highest, possibilities. Per?
haps, had I beeu born a boy, ? m?'ht
have taken up my inheritance, and
carried out my father's unfulfilled am?
bitions and desires. But a girl !-why
may not she also have a hand in the
construction of homes in which women ;
are to spend their lives ? At all events,
nothing shall tempt me to wish I had j
not been born a girl. I wish ouly that '
I had been born with a purpose.
After al!, I seem to be getting no :
nearer to a solution of my troubles. I
have succeeded only iu stating them,
somewhat incoherently, for solution.
There are so many to advise and !
direct women and girls what to do, and !
which way to go, ?hat, perhaps, some ;
prophet among the multitude will fore- j
sast my proper course. Doubtless the j
bidden drift of the counsel would be to
[patiently bide the^^^^fa^^^^at
I tentiou to lioosekeepp'g. worsted work,
j and personal attractiveness, nntil I ara
j called to my qucenship- in the domestic
I kingdom of home, my oniy true ??Ince
! aud power.
j But even here is a dreadfully ag
? gravating uncertainty.
I may not be called by any king
whom I could serve. Am I to wait and
dally along without any clearly defined
purpos*-without any choice, even, in
the only legitimate business of a girl
I that of getting married V Am I to sit

Tn a recent divorce case heard in

Peoples, charged his wife with induc?
ing him to climb an apple tree to shake
down the fruit. While io the tree his
wife cut it down with an axe, and in
its fall broke several of his bones. She
prevented his previous descent by
threatening to cut oft his legs if he at?
tempted it. Thc jury gavo a verdict

MY BEAR:
DO YOU SNOW TES SEASON
WHY PEOPLE WA XT TO BUY
THE WILSON LIGHTNING SEWER
in preference to any other
We will tell you.
1 *
I BECAUSE it has no Cog?. Carn? or Gears.
j BECAUSE it has no Rawhide or Felt
I Packing.
! BECAUSE ir. has no Cast-iron Parts paint
: ed over to cover its defects,
j BECAUSE it does not shake, rattle or
I dance all over the floor when run at a high
! rate of speed.
BECAUSE it has two speeds-one for fine
work or a delicate operator, and the other
i for fast speed, so that you can do one-third
. more work in M day than can be done on any
I other Sewing Machine.
i BECAUSE it runs Light and Easy.
? B KC A USE lost motion can be be taken up
! after years ot' wear without changing or pnt
j ting in new parts, which cannot be done
t with any other Sewing .'Machine.
! BECAUSE it darns rips and tears.
j BECAUSE it dors the most el^cant designs
! in embroidering without an attachment.
! BECAUSE it docs not break the thread or j
I needle when run backwards.
! We could ?el! yon for hours of its Superiority
lover all other Sewing Machines. We think j
i this is sufficient reason why people should ?
? bur the WILSON. It is sold on very easy J
j terms.
