SHINING LIGHTS-
BY ASXA SHIELrm.
"If tbere is axytbic dues make me
Liiriy aick, it ia to see women w bo gava
fair promise of developing a noble intel
lect, dropping down to mere domestic
idiots the moment they are under the
control of a man." . -
Mids Helen Ferguson's finely-chiseled
nose and daintily -curved lips executed a
superb sneer, and Miss Hunt, who was
knitting socks for a newly-arrived mem
ber of tha great human family, looked
up with a smile.
"Some moot ran the domestic affairs,
Helen," she said, quietly, " while the
others atterw to their great public da-ties.-
" Oh, it is all very well for yon to lacgh
at me, Aont Lizzie," Helen said, "but
the faot remains there are plenty of wo
men of average intelligence quite capa
ble of making paddings, and running do
mestic aiiirs. But when a woman like
Amabel Losry can ait for one mortal
hocr saying 'catchy-con' and ili.lay
widy ' to a little pink idiot of six weeks, I
am dLusted."
" Oh ! Yoa have been to see Amabel,"
said Mrs. IiunL " Do yoa think these
otks will fit her baby V
" I am sure I cannot teil ! I did not ex
amine the proportions of that interesting
young man's feet !" exclaimed Helen,
loftily.
A .ft little laagh from her aont an
swered ber.
" Your time Trill come, my dear," she
said.
"Never! Chauncey does not expect it
He understands that marriage between
us is a anion of soals devoted to lofty
aims, of minds eager to obtain and utilize
knowledge, and he will never expect me
to sink down to the level of a domestic
drudge."
" How about hearts in that onion yoa
speak of 7" asked Mrs. Hunt.
"F.ubbishr said MUs Helen. " VTe
are not a pair of love-sick idiots."
She sailed oct of the room as she "poke
ber head well ap, chin oat, and shoul
ders set back squarely. A gaunt, raw
boned old maid of forty ? Not a bit of it.
A delicious maiden of nineteen, not too
tall, gracefully slender, but well rounded,
with a beautiful face, large, liquid-brown
eyes a profusion of chestnut hair, and
dimples that were simply dislractinz. A
Vassar girl, who had graduated with
such honor as proved that tha lovely
head held Lraia above the average ca
pacity. Mrs. Hunt laughed aain when
she was alone,
"What a dear, absard darling she is l"
she thought. "And Chauncey is just a
catch for ber."
This was fortunate-, as Chauncey
Erowne was the premised husband of
Helen Ferguson. He was an enthusiast.
Having unfortunately inherited a large
fortune, he had no need to exert a really
fine mind, a well cultivated intellect, in
any useful channel, and he took ap vari
ous and sundry "causes," and threw hie
whole soul into them while the fever
lasted.
Absolutely devoted to each other, this
original pair of lovers prided thetneles
upon a philosophical contempt of any
such nonsense a love ITot once, in their
dignified courtinj had Chacncey Drowse
descended to a compliicent ; not once
had he given Helen a caress beyond a
regulation kiss at meeting and parting
a kie so strictly conventional that they
would have exchanged itwiih as much
coolness in a croxded ball-room aa in the
privacy of Mrs. Hants cosy par'.ar.
Tkey never talked of their future
home, of the bower of lote and happi
ness that iiakes the Elenof most love-d:ems-
Tney conversed npon loftier
topica thair work together, the Boble
aims they were to pursue hand in hand,
the philanthropic schemes they were to
make realities, it was really bewilder
ing to listen and to look ; to hear such
lofty s ntimeuts, to see such young beau
tiful faews, soft, tender eyes, intended to
convey love's messages, kindling with
Eery enthusiasm over a "GiuV with an
immense C.
Helen was an orphan, with a small in
come of her own, and ber aunt's love
and wealth gave ber a laxoriocs home.
She bad no duties in the home circle.
Mrs. Hunt managed her own household
afair?, and being in perfect health and
full of energy, did not call npon Helen
for any service, content to see her hap
py in fcee own way, careful only to see
tht her way never led her oat of the con
fines of womanly propriety. She went
with her to the lectures on "First Aid to
the Injured f she attended the "Wo
man's Temperance Mission," on the reg
ular meeting evenings ; she contributed
to the "Flower Mission," the "Working
Woman's Art Class," the "Eeauty for
the Masses" lecture. Wherever Helena
radiant, lovely face waa seen, Mrs. Hunt's
more matured beauty was also to be
founvL.
And how.Helen worked! She gave
weekly lecture to the "Art CUda,"And
hunted cp her authorities) ia the pabliv
MAY 25; 1892.
libraries, reading all her manuscript to
Chaoncey, and accepting his criticism
and suggestions, as it seemed good to her
not with any slavish subm'&ioa of the
feminine to the masculine in intellect.
She visited friends for subscriptions to
ail her nndertakings ; she took the cor
respondence of the "Temperance Mis
sion" into her own hands, and gave her
self no rest.
But for Mrs. Hunt, it is appalling to
imagine the gaibe she would have assum
ed in sheer, unaffected in Jl Terence to
anything so trifling a3 dress. Bat Mrs.
Hant, in her quiet, gentle way, saw that
she was always fitly and becomingly at
tired ; and Janet, ber maid, was too proud
of her young mistress's beauty to neglect
its adornment.
The wedding-day was appointed ; the
calm, rational courtship Sowed on in its
even channels. Together Chauncey and
Helen attended to tbeir various public
duties, while Mrs. Hunt superintended
thefpreparations of the trocuseaa, invited
the guests, and looked about for suita
ble boarding-house, aa Helen refused to
listen to bouw-keeping. -But
one evening, when the wedding-
day was but two weeks distant, Chaun
cey came in an boar too early for tae
Missionary Meeting" and, after a bar-
ried word of greeting to Mrs. Hunt, rush
ed on to Helen, who was calmly copying
a "Treasurer's lie port" in the back par
lor. "Helen," he said, "I have terrible news
for yon. Put awayjyour papers for a mo
ment. Oh," he cried, hi voice quiver
ing wita pain, how can Iriveyoa.up .'
My darlinjt! My darling!"
No wonder she was startled.
"Give rae up?" she said turning very
pale.
"I moat dear. I have lost everything !
I have nothing left to offer you, Helen,
V. a- aL - T'n1 . L ... Z L. I 1
but the little house and live hundred !
dollars a year my mother left. Ny fath
er's fortune is gone in the 'Corn A '
Bank' tailure. I mast work now, dear,
though I have no knowledge, Heaven
help me, of any money-making art. Aa 1
my wife mast keep my little house, and
help me to live honestly by economy and
house-wife'y skill !"

color had come back to her round cueek.
t-l T . . i :i. v: t t
i cueeA, ;
her eyes were full of a soft, tender glow
Chauncey had never seen before.
"I will still be that wife," he said,
and her voice had no hard ring, but was
gentle and caxeseiDg. "I will keep your
little house, Chauncey, and help yoa to
live honestly."
"My own, my treasure, I cannot ask so
great a sacrifice. We have played indiff
erence, dearest love, but now, when we
madt part, let me teii yon once how I
love yoa, my life's blessing, my dearest!"
"Yoa cannot give me op. ft would
break my heart, Chauncey. I cannot
live without your love.
"Pretty well for philosopher!" thought
Mrs. Hant. "I knew their hearts were
in the right place in spite of their non
sense." She knitted quietly, listening to the
talk so near her, and now and again wip
ing her eyes. After a ti .r.e they came in
to her, making their confessions, as
biashingly as if newly betrothed. j
The wedding came off at the appoint- !
ed time, Chauncey having had an offer
of a position in a large wholesale busi
ness. Not even Helen knew how much
of the liberal salary came oct of Mrs.
Hunt's income, or how largely her in
fluence with an ancle controlled the offer.
But the same energy that Chauncey had
thrown into a "Canae" he threw into his
business, mastering the routine of duty,
atudying stock, figares, profits and con
tingencies with fervor and enthusiasm
and coming home to the little house,
thoroughly weary, and ready for Helen's
gentle sympathy and petting. Yea, pet
ting, ot me w?si.est-uiiaJea woman
of Helen's acquaintance more svs:emati-1
tally spoiled her husband.
His slippers and dressing-gown were
alwajs ready, his dinner carefully cook
ed and served, and Helen ever ready to
talk, if he was not too hard, or to caress
and soothe him if he was weary.
Out of her own corps of eihcient ser
vants Mrs. Hant had spare-! a "treasure''
to her niece, so that the actual drudgery
of the house was spared her; be! just as
careful! v as she had conducted the affairs
or ner mission and societies, just so i
eEclentiy did Helen manage the limited
income, studying .to combine comfort
with economy, and avoid waste, while
providing liberally. She did not drop
all her outside duties, but home was tirst
with her.
Two years after the wedding day Mrs.
Hunt entered a sitting room where Hel
en, in a low rocking chair, was nunir a
tiny mite of a baby.
"I was afraid yoa were not well," Mrs.
Hunt said. "You were not at the hall
last evening to hear Mr. Jordon ! Sa.li a
Such a splendid lecture ! I am sorry
yoa missed it!"
"Baby was not well" said Iilen.
"There! there, dontee ky, mariisia'j j
own precious: a n.mx sne is teetlung:
Hub, hush, tootsey-wootsey ! Chauncey
says I humor he. too much, but auntie,
how can I help petting my own baby?"
"IVont try, dear. AH my darling" have
gone before nie to the better land, and
my greatest comfort, my deepest happi
ness, ia to know that ail a mother's love
could give them was theirs while I had j
them. I would not recall one ki., one
word of love."
"Aunt Lizai!"
This was after a long rilence.
"Yea, dear."
"What horrid little fool I was !
When?"
"When I stack np my conceited noee
at the womanly women, and tried to be
a manly one. When I talked as if Chaun
cey was merely a fellow-worker in a
Caaee, while I loved hiaa better than
my life. When I did not see that while
women may do noble work in public
duties, may use their brains for the bene
fit of humanity at large, the happierons,
if not the moat useful, are thosi who cse
their brains and hands to make home life
cheerful, to train to God's service the
tender young suLs committed to their
charge, an4 keep from temptation the
little feet they are permitted to guide."
"I never thought yoa were a fool, Hel
en, ane wore yoa aia was nooie won,
and there are many who will perform it
faithfaliy and well, having no other
duties to distract them. Bit I am glad '
jourealiae that a woman can give her
noblest aspiration!, Ler truest wisdom, to
home, husband and children, and is not '
T T
JnLe
an idiot, even if she spends hoars talking
baby nonsense to ber baby."
! yon hear that, Miss Luzie? Mini
ma can call you tootaey-woowey, precious
pet, and sing Mother Goose to yoa now
with a clear conscience."
And just then Chauncey Erowne, ex
preaident, ex-treasurer, ex-librAriao, ex
secretary to a dozen eauat.4, the calm,
Beif-potsresed lover, the energetic business
man, entered hastily, asking :
"Is papa's pretty puppet better, and is
its horrid eld toothy pegs done aching?
Oh, Aunt Lizaie, pardan.me. I did cot
see you."
"Too are forgiven. I will leave yoa
to comfort the what is it, Helen?
little idiot ?"
"Now, Aunt Lizzie T protesten Helen.

A Plain Man's Ideas.
" A Farmer" in Mississippi writes the
following letteron silver to New York
paper. It presents aa argument in a
stj le as plain and clear ad it is hooiely
and forcible, viz:
" I am a farmer and Jo Cot know very

The Southern Convict Lease

The country is but liule aware of the

in the South. Kennan, the traveler,
lately startled ths public with the hor

own eyts a system but a sliade les tar-baro-3

is n; kintal ned ia twelve States. It is

it continue? Our own safety forbids it.

of watchfalnsss aad the scr-.r-?s-l.:n

Questions for Republicans to
Answer.
la view cf the tact that republican
patronage has been so bestowed aa to
baild ap an exeewi of Iaocratic news
paper circulation it is time tbat a few
important questions should be pressed
on'.hea'.tenticn of all earnest Republicans.
While Waiovrats rarely patronize Repub
lican papers great numbers of Repub
licans take iVtuocratic papers regolarly
and give them liberal support. They
will, no doubt, continue to do so. Repub
licans are disposed to read both sides
! and listen to what the opposition has to
sar, and while no objection may be made
to tais practure in itself it ia certainly
time to protest when such patronage of
the Democratic press is accompanied
with neglect f Republican papers. It
may be, of course, that some Republicans
are so thoroughly-informed that they can
learn nothing from their local Repub
lican papers, bat such instance are
certainly rare. Mach of the ablest
discussion of political questions comes)
froai the countrv press. The papers
nearest to the people often speak with
the greatest weight and give the soundest
instruction. As the meet powerful
agency to promote the success of the party
and to inculcate lis principles) the local
Republican papers ia every locality
merit the generous support of earnest
Iiepublieans. Take Iemocratic papers if
yoa choose, bat not to the neglect of
those cf your own party.
Let every Republican put himself on
the stand and propound such questions
as th-je.
Is there a Republican papr published
in or near yoar county, the editor of
which U knosvn to be an arnest and
hooe-t Republican? If so Jo yon get
ropy of such paper regularly and do you
pay for it pruoi-H.'y?
Lm you ditie any elfjrt to induce voar
friends to aid in extending the circula
tion of local Republican papers? Do yoa
a I vertise in such papers as freely and
filly as yoar circuxf tances and the
nature of yocr business will permit?
Is your fricnlahip for the Republican
ptvss active or passive? Are yoa aware
that the Republican party has been put
i
at
a great d :sa.i vact through the fail ure
of Republicans to give Lberal aid
' Siippcrt to the Republican press.

been given bat a short time before to the
inhabitants of the low lands tut only a
few of them had been notitled. The
first intimation was a voiaaie of a:er
spreading over the banks and to a depth
of three feet and throw ing a asLst of fLam
from it. In a few minutes the water had
risen above the first doors and several
thousand lied in terror to the higa
ground.
At least eleven people are drowned.
The water rose 4 feet ia one hour and a
half, an-' from !) o'clock continued to ri?e
steadily lot not so rapidly. Probably
LOCO inhabitants of the city live on the
low ground which is oversowed. So
rapid was the rise of tlie tide that great
numbers were unable to escape and the
work of reacoe engaged the energy of the
people. At I- o'clcck eleven per-on
were reported drowned aad there Ci'ict
be many others. The only names ob
tained so far are :
Nellie West, child ; Mrs. Liaise Hor
