oOMMENT ANDA GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
" OF THEM.
For so long as men and women have
lived on this “little earth so lone” have
been rageous men and scolding .wom-
en—b’ig, brawny savages who have
clubbed their-weaker brethren for the
mere pleasure of bloodthirstiness.
And sharp-voiced shrews who have
railed and rated, and made up for their
comparative want of muscle by the
greater strength of the tongue—the
greater command of words coupled
within smaller sense of responsibility.
More have been ructions between
tribes and within tribes, and at the still
narrower point of the individual home.
Am we fear that, so long as the
present dispensation lasts and humani-
ty. is, aahumanity has hitherto been,
the old, bad. round will be repeated,
andormtions of greater or less severity
~aand larger or smaller in extent—
will. be the appointed besoms of moral
SDEIQOIiLiEal clearance.
Fox‘s-"the 111011th the nations of
lEui-opearearmed 0r arming, but they
arelike th'eeEarl of Chatham and Sir
Richard“: Strahan—the one longing to
baw’Em, but Waiting‘for the signal
from the other—the other with the
sword half drawn, waiting for the first
more of some. one else.
Whether the future would be benefit-
ted'by a general rush at one another’s
throats is a. question no one cares to
pntLtG, the test.‘ But undoubtedly a
Ectopean motion would clear the air.
Whether the gain would be worth
the cost and the game would pay for
the-candle is another matter altogether.
Wars. hitherto have been the ultimate
argument, and have settled boundaries,
treaties, dynasties and nationalities.
Even women may think and ponder
«on matters in which they have no right,
practically, to interfere, because they
have no power personally to share in
or. direct. .
LEI-again a sense of humor as one of
the mOst precious gifts that can be
muchsafed to a human being, says a
writer in London Truth.
Be is not necessarily a better man
i‘m. having it, but he is a happier one
ill. renders him indifferent to good or
Mfortp'ne. It enables him to enjoy '
his own ‘discomfiture.
Blessed with this sense he is never
unduly elated or cast down. No one
can ruflle his temper. No abuse dis-
turbs his equanimity. Bores do not
lion him. Humbugs do not humbug
Hill.
Solemn airs do not impose on him,
Sentimental gush does not influence
him. The follies of thelmoment have
:30 hold. on him.
Titles and decorations are but child-
fish-1 baubles in his eyes. Prejudice
does not warp his judgment. He is
mover in. conceit or out of conceit with
lidmself.’
He abhors all dogmatism. The world
is a stage on which actors strut and
first for his edification and7 amusement,
and he pursues the even current of his
way, Invulnerable, doing what is right
and, proper according to his lights, but
utterly indifferent whether what he
does findsapproval or disapproval from
Others.

Mr. Harris makes a liberal offer in
order to refute false charges.
I hereby offer to contribute $50 to-
ward the purehase of a public scale on
which all Coal, etc. shall be weighed
by a public weigher. Such a scale can
be put up for $130, and it will insure to
all purchasers their full weight.
I offer this in the interest of the
public, and for my own protection
against false charges made by my com-
petitors.
I hereby publicly petition the au-
thorities to make a suitable ordinance
compelling the dealers to use this
scale when erected.
COAL, $5.00 PER TON. Having
made this price, the public, for its own
protection, as well as in justice to me,
ought to give me its patronage.
