WOMEN'S RIGHTS. , ------ -# It was half past twelve before the dozen frieads who had been dining with me left the house. The evening began with argnment, which by degrees, was relieved by light yet bitter banter. Some of the ladies began to make me of those most ex­ pensive words, "indeed," "really," and "I must say!" or "if you will allow me to 6ay!" etc. And I am ashamed to aay that I myself--the host--became so* animated as to desire to prolong the discussion instead of putting an end to it before anything extreme should be said on either side. My guests were my nearest relations --nephews, nieces, and young cousins. One niece was the wife of a rising young Member of Parliament, a man supposed to have a prosperous future before him. Another was one of the sweetest young girls I ever met. One oousin was a Sister of Mercy, who had no home ties left and dedicated herself «0 God's poor. And the subject over whioh we grew •O eager was the "Rights of Women." To my surprise the wife of the M. P., A more than ordinary agreeable, clever J'oung woman, took the most decided ine against her sisters. The Sister of Mercy only sat and listened, and often laughed heartily. The youngest and the weakest, a pale little creature who spent all her time in nursing her children and arranging her fair tangled fringe, was our bitter­ est enemy, and loud were her compli­ ments against the bitter subject of wo­ men ; though 1 happen to know that very morning she had gone in tears to her husband to entreat his interference with a refractory nursery maid. But 1 am old enough now never to be surprised at any thing. I was betrayed into using strong ex­ pressions myself. I remember assert­ ing that Solomon's virtuous woman contented herself with giving him a iirst-rate dinner, and keeping his gar­ ments in order, and the children alto­ gether out of sight. The argument grew hotter. Elector­ al disabilities had to be exhausted, then the vexed question of university honors, medicine and woman's degrees. Final­ ly I almost shouted: "In my opinion woman's mission is submission!" After that they left me. I felt too much excited to go to <bed at once, so I resorted to the calming in­ fluence of a cigar. My wife died twenty-five years ago. Ou married life lasted five years, and when she died I gave up pshaw! It was not that that made me give up the Militia, and Parliament, and Quarter Sessions, and the old schemes for paying off the mortgages and all that to go abroad. The old church is not restored yet. However, this is nothing to the purpose. I am meditat­ ing an essay on woman in general, not on individuals, and if the world lasts another thousand years, it would never produce again a woman such as she was. The cigar is very soothing. I will Only make a few notes on the back of an envelope--heads of subjects with their consequences arranged like a ped­ igree under them. I believe with the ereation of Ere--a most important point. Here my pencil rolled away from me and 1 think I must have fallen asleep, and yet I should be sorry to swear in a court of justice that all which followed was only a dream. My study haw recently added to the house, and the shadows flickered strangely over the wide white plastered wall that faced my great easy chair as I sat by the fire. It became suddenly quite dark, then a circle of light danced into the center of the white wall, and grew larger and brighter, till I saw as if in broad day­ light a scene which might have been reflected from a magic lantern. Bing-a-ring-a-ring! Oh! that inde­ scribable sense of hurry--who that has ever experienced it does not recognize it? It must be the division bell of the House of Commons. There go the Honorable Membet-s running fast. The scene represents the exterior, twopo- licemen stand at one of the doors. Two or three members hop stiffly out of the way of the Honorable Members. Bing-a-ring-a-ring. It has stopped now. Ther<' is a pause, the pigeons peck about and plnme themselves, and the policemen pursue their endless walk. A brougham trots up at a round pace, an anxious faoe looks out watch­ ing ; finally a voice calls to the foot­ man : "John! Sir Joseph is there." A tall care-worn member of the op­ position jumps into the carriage. Bound St. James' Park," he calls out, •nd away they go. A lady takes her husband's hand eacerly and speaks: "Here are the notes, Joseph. Now, whatever you do, do not forget 65,000, 700 and 66." "You are sure." "Of course, 65,000, 700 and 66. And it was the Tmick and not the Daily News, remember that, and the date was April 12<b. Yon had put down the 11th. "And was I accurate about Peel ?" "Yes, 1 have found his very words. Thev are just what you want, only I think I would make the other two pointB first." "I meant them for a peroration." "Yes, but don't you think this one that I have found will do better ? See this quotation. It will enable you to fulfill the ungrateful duty of annihilat­ ing one of onr own side with^more grace: "*¥011 urge n»' as a jndge; but I*had rath „T You woui > have bid me -rgu like a f&i htf.

"Did you notice an inaccuracy in B's speech last night ? Ho said that Lord Palmerston was distinctly of his opin­ ion. Here is Palmerston's speech on the same subject. Bead it, dear'" "Bravo, Jennie! you have surpassed yourself to-day. Now we must turn." "Already! Oh, Jos, I wish I could go to the gallery"! "You could not stay late enough to hear me." Then in an eager whisper, she said, as the brogham pulled up, "Good-bye, God speed you!" That picture faded away as the little brogham trotted out of it. The next showed a London drum. The hostess standing at the head of the stairs re­ ceiving heir guests; a lady, exquisitely dressed, sitting on the sofa, with two or three men around, and a buzz of po­ litical murmurs. * "Best speech of the season! outdid himself; never thought Pelham would come out like this!" "Well, Lady Pelham, I congratulate you heartily. We all look upon Sir Joseph as the rising hope of the party." "You should have heard the roars of laughter with which his Shakspearian quotation was received. Harvard, you can tell Lady Pelham what it was. I do not remember the words, but he took so fatherly a tone to poor W., that from a man of his age the effect was in­ imitable." Two members were talking together in the ante-room. "Best speech of the session! I never believed there was so much in that lazy fellow Pelham." "it is all his wife's doing. She has brought out his dormant powers." * m * * * * Thd shadows are passing over the wall again. I bend forward eagerly. What is it? What a blurred looking picture! It is raining fast, pouring, with the hissing sound of rain on the pavement. It is so dark that I can only just distinguish a narrow alley, such a den of pestilence as Shoreditcli can best show. On the right stands a public house. I see faint lights through the chinks of its dirt-encrusted shutters, and hear load tones and evil words within. A man reels to the door, and looks out, nothing but rain and black mud, and a horrible stench from the rushing gutters. He shuts the door with an oath and goes in again. "Take care, missus!" A faint glimmer from a lantern shows me two figures picking their way through mud and filth--a rough look­ ing man, whose old fur cap is drawn low over his brow, and behind him a woman, dressed in the coarse gown and white cap of an English Sister of Mer cy; a little black wooden cross on her breast, and a long cloak around her. The face, on which the yellow light shines, is homely with a slightly worn expression, and eyes full of kindly sweetness. "I am very glad to have arrived," she says, cheerfully, shutting her cot­ ton umbrella, and about to step into the house. A man irom within pushed her back roughly but not unkindly. "Do you know what you undertake, miss?" he says, "Five of 'em--two brothers, wives and a child. And it's black small pox." "I know; let me pass! Thank you for your warning," she answered gent­ ly. The man mutters something and draws back. She goes in. ? * • a :? • •* * •• I suppose some days, even weeks must have passed in my dreams, for I awoke to find my little circular picture full of dayl ights. It is the same alley, but a narrow pathway along it is swept clean and dry, and here and there strewn with straw. At the door of t he public house stands a group of people surrounding the Sister of Mercy. Two of them seem as if their hearts were of speech; on the arm of one hangs a weakly woman, the other stands alone, They press her hands, one man raises the rough sleeve of her gown and kisses the hem, with tears raining down his cheeks. s Kindly words she says to all, a little practical advice, a little exhortation. They listen as if she were a saint from heaven, and then she goes her way. One old man exclaims as she disap­ pears: "Well, if there be a God, He will hear our blessings on that there Sister." The shadows gathered so quickly over my picture that I hardly saw her to the end of the street. I leant my head on my hand and tried to make out these visions, but I seemed strangely unable to fix my thoughts. "Exceptional cases, nothing but ex­ ceptional cases," I heard myself mut­ ter, and the words half aroused me. I felt for my pencil to make another memorandum, when my attention was again arrested. * « • * • • Shadows rose up one after another like thin curtains from my magic circle, and a new scene presented itself to my gaze. A charming boudoir furnished with every luxury, the walls hung with crimson silk, full of rare pictures and cabinets of precious china. A white bear-skin rug before the fire, on which was seated a young lady, who leant her arms on the lap of an older woman re­ posing in a deep arm chair. They were very like each other, but it was doubtful whether the elder lady could ever have been so lovely as her golden-haired child. The girl held out to her mother a clearly written letter, saying in a bro­ ken voice, "Mother, I want you to see what I have written to him." Her lips smiled bravely, while the tears were streaming unheeded down her cheeks. The mother took her letter. I seemed to be reading with her eyes, for I heard no voice, yet I know what that letter contained: MY DEABEBT HABRY: Your letter came to me this morning, and it is so difficult to answer that I hope you will be patient with me. We have known each other so long, and loved each other so dearly, that it grieves me bit­ terly to refuse to marry you. Yes, dearest, it is to refuse that I write, and perhaps you will think me hard and pedantic for my reasons, and perhaps unfeeling and unkind. Oh. do not think so. for I have been crying all the time I have teen writing this, and I can scarcely see to write now. It goes to my heart to grieve you so. And must i, need I tell you why? Harry, if you do not grow more steady, you will break my heart. 1 have read your letter over and over again, and tried to believe what yon My, that J could save you, I am only a girl, and full of faults. I could not hear of my husband gamb­ ling, or see him helpless from drink without terror, disgust, horror. I dare not, Harry; your salvation is in higher hands than mine. Do not lean on a broken reed. We have no strength in ourselves. I am doing this--I am send­ ing you away from me--but it is break­ ing my heart. For I love you, my darling--I lovo you as I know that you love me. Do not try to see me, or to alter my determination, for it cannot be altered. Good-bye, my darling; I will pray for all God's blessings on your head. Good-bye, good-bye, MACDE. Then the shadows stole ltageringly over the article, folding it sof^y out of sight. Again I must suppose a lapse of time, perhaps years. It is war time, anxiety and trouble are brooding over the land. The shadows flit past. It is the same room, with the same figures, but differ­ ently occupied. Dressed in deep mourning, mother and daughter Lu« been picking lint. A little packet™f letters lies on the table, and low sobs burst now end then from Maude. „ There lies her own letter, worn, and vellow, and old. It was found in his breast and sent home with a lock of his chestnut hair, accompanied by a let- J ter from his colonel--full of bitter grief for the young officer whom every one had loved, the steadiest, the best, ' the bravest, the most zealous, whose influence had raised the whole tone of , his command. I "Maude--Tell Maude that I owe all' to her under God." Those were the last words he uttered before he was laid in a soldier's grave. * * * * • * See, the shadows are stirring again, moving to and fro in an agitated way. What is coming now? It is dark at first, then slowly, as my ' eyes got accustomed to the gloom, I saw before me a death bed. Upraised on the white pillow lay an aged woman, her face beaming with a light more divine than of earth, her pale hands crossed on her breast. Bound her stood her sons and daughters, and her children's children, and not one among them who has not wept bitter tears that so soon they should see her faoe no more. * * * * * * . Only one more little glimpse, and light poured over the picture, whioli disappeared in a golden glow. I liid my dazzled face. "Charley!" A voice spoke my name in tones that thrilled my soul, and a sound of distant music filled the air. I raised my eyes. In the midst of the glow stood the form of my wife. Her robes were as white as snow, her golden hair fell like a halo around her, her lips parted in that sweet smile that never could fade from my heart. "Husband," she said, "you have seen visions, sent to teach you the secret of woman's mission--influence, the power of the weakest." "And their rights?" "The reward of their labor. Prayers and blessings, the fruition of self-sacri­ fice, gratitude, reverence, love. These are the rights of true women." The sweet vision passed away, and I was left sitting in my chair with the blank wall opposite to me, and the em­ bers in the grate slowly burning out. Sweet Maudie, energetic Jeanie, my good cousins--we would have thought it of you all ? Well, well! one lives and learns. I wish I had come home soon enough to see my mother once more. They said she asked for me. - In this world all must have its fitting place, and all be adjusted so well that the revolutions of our circular globe do not produce a second chaos. What were the tree without its leaves or the flower without the stalk ? What were women without man, and in Heaven's name where were men without woman. --Tesmple Bar. A Cheap HoteL Three of us walked into the ofiico of a hotel in a little town in Mississippi one night, and when the landlord had been aroused from his nap behind the stove, a big dog kicked off the only bench in the room, and the smoking lamp turned up so that we could see each other, he sized us up and said: •'Gentlemen, I'm a poor landlord but a truthful man. In the first place, I'll have to put the three of you into one. bed. In the next place, it's a bed s<i. dog-goned mean that you'd a heap bet­ ter lie on the floor." "Can't we sit up in the room?" asked one. "Don't believe you kin. There's a dozen panes of glass gone, the root leaks, and there's no show to build a fire." "What sort of a tavern do you keep, anyhow?" "Poor--miserably poor. I'm no landlord, my wife runs all to poetry, and the building is mortgaged for mor'n it's worth." "How about breakfast?" "Well, you can count on bacon, taters and hoe-cake, with mighty poor coffee. The tablecloth is full o' holes, we never use napkins, and maybe there won't be forks enough to go 'round." "Seehere!" said the drummer, "you'd better get out o' this and give room to somebody w ho can keep a hotel!" "I know it--I know it, but where and how shall I go? I couldn't raise six bits to save my neck, and wh«*t town wants me? I haven't got no trade, am to weak to labor in the fields, and this keepin' tavern seems to be the only opening for me." "Got any whiskyJP? "Nary." "Any good water?" "Well, it's creek water, and purty sandy just now." "Any more wood to keep up the fire?" "Not a stick, but 111 cut some in the morning." The four of us stood looking at each other for a long minute, and it was the landlord who spoke first. He said: "Gents, its no use to kick. I'm sorry, and that's all I can do. I'll light an­ other lamp, bring out a pack of keerds, and we'll pluy seven-up while the hired man comes in and fiddles for us. It's only six hours to daylight, and eight to breakfast,and a shilling plug of toi acker pays the bill for the hull three of you." But when we left the next forenoon he wouldn't even take that. He said our society was recompense enough.-- M.

Gesticulation is foreign to our nation; and yet the man who would be an ora­ tor must learn what to do, as well as what to avoid doing, with hio arms and hands. The word is but an echo, the ambassador of thought. All energetic passion, all deep sentiment, must be heralded by expression, or by outward and visible sign of some sort; other­ wise the words will fall coldly, as ema­ nating from the intellectual machine, and not springing, warm and irrepressi­ ble, from the heart. Talma, in his treatise on the art of acting, says: "The gesture, the attitude, the look, should precede the words, as the flash of lightning precedes the thunder." Yet, if you watch any uncultivated speaker, you will find that his action never indicates the path he is travel­ ing, but follows it. Observe the itin- eran preacher, whose apoplectic elo­ quence suggests that he is suffering from a determination of words to the mouth; you will see that the flinging of his arms to and fro is an effort to add force to his words, not the outcome of strong feeling before it has broken into speech. The true orator's move­ ments must appear so spontaneous that they pass unnoticed, and vet, insensi­ bly, they will affect his audience. The most powerful speakers are always, more or less, actors, who identify themselves with the cause they advo­ cate. Cold rhetoricians who have not this capacity may bring conviction to our reason when we read their speeches in the papers the morning after they are delivered; but, lacking the passionate persuasiveness of men whose voice and frame vibrate with the emotion their words evoke, they will never touch the hearts or rouse the en­ thusiasm of an audience. In public speaking, as in reading, it is of primary importance that the voice be not pitched too high or too low, but that the keynote be struck in the mid­ dle of the register. Many persons be­ come exhausted in reading, or in ad­ dressing an audience, from ignorance of the art of respiration, and from an er­ roneous notion that it is necessary to employ some non-natural tone. Neither is it essential to shout that the speaker's words may be carried to the furthest ex­ tremity of a large hall. There can be no greater mistakes than these. As in singing, so in oratory, the mostmatural emission of the voice, if combined with distinct articulation, will "ten" more at a great distance than all the bellowing in the world. Actora are especially liable to forget that violence is not power, and that loudness is indicative of hysterical and feminine impotence than of manly force. I sat beside a great actress at the theater lately, when a scene that should have torn our very heart-strings was being enacted. "Why do they talk so loud?" she whis­ pered to me. "They would produce twice the effect if they did not scream at each other."--Nineteenth Century. Eating llefore Sleeping. "Go home and eat a good supper, that's all the medicine you want," and the medical gentleman to whom a re­ porter had gone for a nervous, or se­ dative, or sleeping potion, opened the door to show him out. "But, Doctor, it is 11 o'clock at night." "Well, what of it? Oh, I see, the popular prejudice against eating at night. Let me tell you, my young friend, that unless your stomach is out of order, it is more benefit to you to eat going to bed than it is harmful. Food of a simple kind induces sleep. At what hour did you dine?" ' "Six o'clock." "Humph t Just what I thought. Six o'clock. Fourteen hours between dinner and your breakfast. Enough to keep any man awake. By that time the fuel necessary to send the blood cours­ ing through your system is bnrned out. Animals sleep instinctively after meals. Human beings become drowsy after eating. Why? Simply because the juices needed in digestion are supplied by the blood being solicited toward the stomach. Thus the brain receives less blood than during the hours of fasting, and becoming paler the powers grow dormant. Invalids and those in del­ icate health should always eat before going to bed. The sinking sensation in sleeplessness is a call for food. Wake­ fulness is oftentimes merely a symptom of hunger. Gratify the desire and sleep ensues. The feeble will be stronger if they eat on going to bed. Some persons are exhausted merely by the process of making their toilet in the morning. A cup of warm milk and toast on retiring, or of beef tea on awakening, will correct it." "But is it not essential that the stom­ ach should rest ?" "Undoubtedly. Yet, when hungry we should eat. Does the infant's stom­ ach rest as long as the adult's. Man eats less often only because his food requires more time for digestion. In­ valids and children at night may take slowly, warm milk, beef tea, or oat meal. The vigorous sdult can eat bread, milk, cold beef, chicken, raw oysters, or some other such food. Of course, it must be done in moderation. You Btart home now and take a cup of tea and a beef sandwich on the way, and I'll risk your sleeping. Good­ night.--New York Mail. Thy Speech Bewrayeth Thee. A Highlander, in the British army, during the war of the Bevolution, was caught one evening creeping out of a thicket just beyond the lines, evidently returning from some secret errand. The American outposts (along the Hud­ son) were then quite near to those of the British, and, being concealedjin the forest, their exact number and dis­ tance were always uncertain. Under the circumstances the Highlander was suspected of 1 eing an informer, i. e., in communication with the enemy. It was shortly after the execution of Major Andre; and the enraged British were in no state to let a man go who was ac­ cused of sympathy with the Americans. The soldier was taken before his Colo­ nel, and the witnesses of his presumed guilt told their story. "What have you to say for yourself?" denyiuded the Colonel, with a threaten­ ing frown. "Only this, sir: I got away quietly from my comrades to pray a bit while in the bush, and was coming back when the soldiers took me." "Are you in the habit of praying?" demanded the officer. "Yes, sir." "Then, pray now. You never needed it more in your life." And the Colonel took out his watch. Fully believing that he had but a few minutes to live, the Christian soldier knelt and poured out his soul in such language as only a friend of God could use. All who heard it were astonished, the commander himself among the rest. "Go," said he; "you have told the truth. If' you had not been often to drill, you could not have done eo well at review.

Well, I took Mrs. Arp down in the lowland wheat this evening, where it is thick and green and tall, and I ex­ plained to her all about the wheat be­ ing first in the boot, and then in the milk, and then in the dough, and as we walked along in the water furrow I said that it reminded me of the old song of "Coming Through the Bye," that I would change it a little, and say: "If a body meet a body coming through the wheat. And a body kiaaa body wouldn't it he sweet?" And she smiled and said the rye of the poet was not a field, but a rocky branch named Bye, and the lassie was wading through it when her lover met her on the rocks and kissed her. So that knocked all the poetry out of the situation and I said no more on the subject, but I've seen the day when that wheat field would have been as good a place for the business as a branch, and, if anything, better.--Bill Arp, in the Atlanta Constitution. ~ Dickens at Thirty. Charles Dickens, when he first visited Washington, in 1842, was just entering his thirtieth year. He was a middle- sized, Bomewhat fleshy person, his hair, which was long and dark, grew low upon the brow, had a wavy kink where it started from the head, and was cork­ screwed as it fell on either side of his face. His forehead retreated gradually from the eyes, without any marked pro­ tuberance save at the outer angle, the upper portion of which formed a prom­ inent ridge a little within the assigned position of tfie organ of ideality. The eyeballs completely filled their sockets. The aperture of the lids was not large, nor the eye uncommonly clear or bright, but quick, moist and expressive. The nose was slightly aquiline, the mouth of moderate dimensions, making no great display of the teeth, the facia! muscles occasionally drawing the upper lip most strongly on the left side as the mouth opened in speaking. His feat­ ures, taken together, were well pro- portioned.
