My Righto,
Tea, God ba mado mo a woman,
And I am content to ho
Just what He meant, not reaching out
For other things, since lie
Who know mo beat and loves me most has "r
derod this for me.
A woman, to live my life out
In quiet womanly wajs,
Hearing the far-off battle,
Seeing as through a haze
The crowding, struggling world of men fight
through their busy days.
I am not strong nor valiant,
I would not join the fight
Or jostle with crowds in the highway
To sully my garment white; .
But I have rights as a woman, and here I claim
my right.
The right of a rose to bloom
In it own sweet, separata way,
With none to quettion the perfumed pink
And not to utter a nay
If it reaches a root or points t thorn, as even a
roue tree may.
Tho right of tho lady-birch to grow,
To grow a tho Lord ahall please,
By never a sturdy oak rebuked,
Dcniod nor sun nor breeze,
For all ite pliant tlenderneaa, kin to the stronger
tree.
Tho right to a life of my own
Not merely a casual bit
Of nomkbody else' life, fliuig out
That taking hold of it,
I may stand a a cipher doe after a nr. mora
writ.
Tho right to gather and gleau
What food I need and can
From the gamored store of knowledge
Which man has heaped for man.
Taking with free hand freely and after an
ordered plan. .
The right ah, best and sweeteist f
To stand all dismayed
Whonevor sorrow or want of sin
Call for a woman' aid.
With none to cavil or question, by never a look
gainsaid.
I do not auk for a ballot ;
Though very life were at stake,
I would beg for the nobler justice
That men for manhood' sake
Should give uuorudiiinirlv. nor withnld till T
ruuat fight and take.
Tho flout foot and the feeble foot
Both souk tho self-same goal,
Tho weakest soldier's name is writ
On tho great annv-rolL
And God, who mado man's body strong, made
too tno woman s soul.

TUB BTOEY OF AN OCEAN VOTAOE.
I was liomevrard-bound from one of
my various excursions across the ocean,
by which I had for many years becrniled
the tedium of my monotonous bachelor
existence, and having settled my belong
ings in my stateroom, I turned out to take
a survey of my fellow-passengers. It was
autumn and the last of the summer tour
ists were returnincr. and both mlnr,n
and decks were crowded with animated
groups. Every one eeemed cheerful an
gay, and already several embrvo flirla
tions could be detected among the younp
people, of whom the passencers wm-l
largely composed. Being an outside

most part such senseless chatter, such
arrant frivolity that I heard, such con
scions posing and airy fluttering that 1
saw. Of course after a while I found ex
ceptions to this tendency, but the quiet
and sensible people on board, as usual,
occupied the background.
Failing to find myself interested then
in theso surroundings, I began a leis
urely inspection of the vessel, wandering
about its nooks and crannies, and famil
iarizing myself with my little island
home. And so strolling along, I came
upon a small, quiet, gray-clad figure
seated alone and looking wistfully over
the waters. As she was quite unconscious
of my proximity, I stepped a few paces
off and examined her closely. She looked
almost a child, so small and slight she
was, and yet one would not have dared
to treat her as a child. There was a self
reliance and serenity about her entirely
unehildlike, but, all the same, very
pretty to see. Her complt xion was dark
and very rich, and her cheeks charm
ingly rounded and curved, and her
eyes, turned seaward, were the largest
and darkest I ever remembered to
have seen. Indeed, so uncom
mon was their size that, when some
sound aroused her and she1 turned them
slowly on me, I was dazzled by them
they gave her face such a btrange aspect,
pjid yet it waa a peculiarity far from
being unlovely. She was Spanish I
had seen that at a glance and the
mute, uncertain way in which she looked
at me prompted the conviction that she
felt herself, even at the outset of this
voyage, hampered by the fact that she
knew no other tongue. After that one
long, steady glance, she turned her face
away again and I heard her sigh gently.
After a moment's hesitation I moved just
a step nearer and addressed her in her
! own language, asking if it was her first
! voyage.
, She turned with a swift impulsive
smue ana looKea at me again. The great
eyes were raJiart with pleasure, and,
with an exquisite utterance that made niv

"Oh, yes," she answered. "I have

There was a patient resolution in her

sitting together a long time, idly talking
uuuut me weainer ana the ship, and
wondering how long we should have it
so fair, when she turned to me, in her
sott bpanisli speech, that loses so incal
culably by translation, and said :
" I want you to tell me about yotir
people and your home."
I felt as if her little, soft, plump hand
badgealt a blow upon my bare heart;
but i answered, simply:
" I have no home, and my people are
all dead or cone from me tbnt. io yv
parents and sisters and brothers, for I
never hall a wife or a child, which is
what you meant, perhaps."
" Yes ; I meant that. It is so sad. I
thought, perhaps, you might have a
daughter like me, and that made you so
kind."
" No, I have no daughter," I said
slowly; "though I am, in truth, old
enough to be your father."
" And you have neveY loved anyone
never wanted to be married to some one
who was good and beautiful and kind?
How strange I "
These questions were scarcely marked
by any interrogative accent. She seemed
to be merely stating them as facts, with
a gentle reluctance. But, though she
expected no answer from me, I was irre
sistibly prompted to confession.
"Yes, Lola," I said, "I knew some
one like that once, and I loved her. But
it was long ago, and we were parted."
"Oh, why did you pail?" she said,
passionately. " Why did you suffer any
thing to part you ? Was she not willing
to give up all, to leave home and friends
and country and everything to follow
love, as I have done ?"
Urged on by a deep excitement, she
had revealed her secret, and I half feared
she would repent and try to retract it,
but she did not. She seemed either
to be unconscious that anything had been
divulged, or unconscious of the fact
that I had not known it all the time.
"You do well," I said, fervently. "It
is worth the. sacrifice. God grant you
do not repent it."
" I have no fear," she said, confidently.
" Fear could not live in my heart, which
holds a perfect love."
Then, so simply and naturally, she
told me her story. She had become en
gaged to a young American sent out to
Spain as agent for some New York busi
ness firm, and he had gone home a few
months ago, expecting to return; but
his superiors had made other arrange
ments, and he had written that although
he would bo stationary in New York
thereafter, he was coming back to marry
her and bring her to her home in the
new world. At the time set for his ar
rival, however, he had sent a letter in
stead, saying an attack of illness pre
vented his coming, but he was now con
valescent, though the physicians said he
must not take the voyage for some time.
"When I got that letter," said Lola,
"I could do nothing but cry and fret for
the first two or three days. I did not eat
or sleep, and my aunt, whom I lived
with, said I would die, and was very
hard and cross. I was utterly wretched,
until one night as I lay thinking it all
over I resolved that I would go to him.
lie had once, half-hesitatingly, suggested
it, saying it would save so much expense,
ind he is not at all well off; but it had
frightened me 60 that he gave it up, say
ing he would spend all he had, sooner
than give me the anxiety and trouble of
such a voyage. But now now that he
was ill and alone I could think no
longer of my dread ; indeed, it was gone,
and all I thought of was to go to him,
and comfort and nurse and take care of
him. So I got my aunt's consent, though
she would not give it at first, and I took
the very next steamer. And see how
easy and pleasant it has been I He need
not have been afraid for me; but, then,
he could not know, and neither could I.
that I should find you !"
Her ardent tone and look, as she said
these last words, thrilled me strangely.
It was a spontaneous, affectionate out
burst that pained while it caressed me.
And beside my own personal feeling, a
dreadful misgiving about her weighed
on my heart. She was so confidunt, so
full of trust what if she should bo do-
ceived in this man ? What if the attack
cf illness were a mere subterfuge? Such
i mugs naa oeen. i turned cold and thi.n
I hot at the mere euggotstion.
I afcked her
lover's name, but it was unknown to me,
though the name of tho houso he repre
sented was familiar. But that went for
nothing as to the man's personal charac
ter, and the fear that this might bo
treacherous made me sick with dread.
What would be tho end, if my" appre
hensions proved correct? What would
become of the poor child? A wild
thought suggested itself. It was a
strange mixture of deep pity for her and
deep joy, tempered with pain and yet
sweet with hope, for myself
At last the voyage was over, and tho
realization of this fact made me unac
countably sad. For Lola was dearer to
me every day. In her little attacks of
illness, which she had not altogether
escaped, I had carried her about in my
arms, like a child, and she had leaned
on me and looked up to me with a child

When we stepped ashore. Lola mid T

agreed to go together to the hotel, and
then Jl was to find her lover and send
him to her.
I saw her safelv seated in lr i;tin

x oiueieu a uainry DreaKiast there and we
ate it tete-a-tete. I don't think either
had much appetite, though I taxed mv
wits to the uttermost on the menu and
had even given a lavish order for flowers.
I tried to think of evervth

felt almost certain of a imnendino-
calamity and I .looked again aril
again into her sweet face trying to
fix its look of happiness in my mind.
And she was happy ! Her vcice was joy
ous as a laik's and her face as radiant as
dav. I would fain lmv lincrrnd .v'hil.
to bask in this bright sunshine, but she
was ievensniy impatient and eager that
I should be gone. I think she grudged
me the boon of seeing him first, for she
made me promise that I would not tell
him of her presence, but bring him back
with me under some nvpffwr. if T Wi
him well, and return and take her to Mr

settled it in her mind f lint, their

When I was ready to go I went up to
her and took her hands in mine. "Loin."
I said, "whatever lies before you,
whether joy or sorrow, remember "that
you have me always for your friend. You
must relv irnon mo n vrm vrmiil n..

It was an effort, but I forced mvself tn
say it. Then, before leaving, I stooped
anil kissed her sweet lios. It was tha
first time and would nrobablv b tbA lnt
and I valued it as people do value what
can come to mem out once.
When I reached theliniiRo tbao.l.iou.
"-f --v wuui cur)
of which Lola had given me, I inquired
for her lover he was gone. The woman
who kept the house could give no infor
mation except that she thought he had
gone West.
I was unfeignedly distressed. In that
moment I roso above self and thnnrrht
only of Lola. How bhall I d'escribo the
scene that followed my announcement to
the little creature? The heart -ren diner
grief, tho wild denial of her lover's
faithlessness! She utterly refused to
believe it. She would fur tnnnnr i
said, think that he was dead. After her
lirst outburst of passionate grief was
over, 6he calmed herself and said, stand
ing up: " I must go awav; I must not
stay here.
The sight of her agony almost killed
me.
"Oh, Lola," I said, "where?"
She flunor herself back fin t f I f Innniya
with a motion of utter despair. I went
to her and threw myself on my knees
beside her and folded both her tremb
ling hands in mine.
" Lola, be brave," I said. "Face the
worst. It is a bitter thincr tosnv. Imt. T

" I Cannot 1 I could not inr it I An A
I have no money."
"Never mind that " I said. "I have
plenty, mor far more than I want. I
would give my life to comfort you. I
will go now, if you say so, and take pas
sage on the next returning ship."
" I could not bear it. I never will go
back," sho said ; "no one loves me there.
I am only a unless little burden. I never
will go back 1"
"Then stay," I Mid, passionately
" stay with mo. Let me love and com
fort you. Stay with nie alwavs, Lola.
No ono can love you as I will."
At first I think she did not understand
my meaning, bnt when she did r.ho
wrenched her hand from mine and
sprang to the middle of the room.
"How can you? How can von be so
cruel ?" she said. " I)0 vou think I could

" Lola, my little child," I said, " vou

For the present I will find some safe r'lace
to put yon in, and we will see what

"Do you love m?" she said, facing
me and upeaking with eager vehemence.
" Oh, I do, I do !" Iaaid.

I could not speak at once. For one
moment a wild nope had budded in my
breast, and it would not die without a
struggle. Then I looked at her and
said, calmly:

It was not a rapturous consent, but I
found a wonderful satisfaction in it,

easy to fall into hopeful dreams of tho
xuiure ; it was impossible not to. And
now, as she sat meekly on the sofa, after
all her passionate struggles were over, I
felt convinced that, if I could win her
hand in the way we had agreed upon, I
could also, with time, win her pure
heart for my own. It was a glorious
goal. Something to live for, something
to work and struggle for. My life and
utmost energies had found the incentive
they had lacked so loner.
Wo fell now into a. mmnncbl nrwl

She did not seem to notice my action,
but sat facinc? the d
eyes resting on the little hands clasped
in uer lap. ATesentiy a footstep was
heard coming along the hall, and she
listlessly looked up. As she did so,
the light of a great, ecstatic joy rushed
over her face. She sprang to her feet,
with the glad cry:
' Richard I" and flung herself into his
arms. He clasped her tight to his heart,
and drew her into the room. Was he
true or false ? I knew that I need only
see his face to tell. In that moment of
extreme excitement he would forget to
don his mask. He stooned olmvn h
and covered her neck and face with
kisses. Iheu, after that moment's rap

did in such terms as only a good alia
honorable man could have used. I had
to listen, too, to his explanation. He
had, indeed, gone West, having accepted
a promising appointment which would
give him permanent and remunerative
employment. Having settled matters
there, he had obtained leave, and was
now on his way to Spain and Lola. It
was all as clear as day.
That very evening they were married.
I was the only witness besides the cler
gyman, and I never will forget tho radi
ance of her face as I watched it during
tho service. I rather feared her joy
might be dimmed by some remember
ing thought of me, but it was not so.
I don't think she ever comprehended
my feeling for her, and, of course, it
pleased her to fancy now that it had
been chiefly pity for her loneliness.
The service ended, there remained
nothing but to take Lola to a jeweler's

paid for with a kiss.
It was, indeed, the last !

Hoe Out Yonr Row.
One day a lazy farmer boy
Was hoeing out the corn.
And moodily had listened long
To hrar tho dinner linrn.
The welcome bins! was heard at lawt,
And down ho dropped his hoe;
Hut the good mna shouted in hi ear:
" My liny, hoe out your row."
Although a " hard ono " was the row,
To turn a plowman's phrase,
And the lad, as sailors havit,
Beginning well to "haze,"
" I can," ho said, anil manfully
He seized again his hoe
Anil the good man smilod to see
Tli boy "hoe out lus row."
The lad the text remembered long,
And proved the moral well,
That persereranee to the end
At lust will nobly tell.
Tak eonrago, man ! resol yon an,
And strike a vigorous blow;
In life's great field of varied toil,
Alwaw "bo ont yonr row."

The Life of an Actress.
Mr. Labouchore recently said ia an
article in Truth on the London stage :
Actresses live in q world of tlieir own.
They generally exaggerate every senti-
ment. Their real life-is tinged with
their theatrical life, and high-wrought
melodrama becomes a second nature
to them. Few of them have a perfectly
sane notion of existence ; they exist in.
the feeling of, the moment. They fro
generally incapable of taking an inter
est in the ordinary occupations of their
sex ; at ono moment they are in the
wildest spirits, at another in the depth
of despair, and those with whom they
come in contact are alternately either
melodramatic villains phottinff their
destruction, or angelic beings that have
no existence out of plays. If they are
asked why they love or'hate, they liuiist ,
that they are endowed vith a peculiar
instinct, and this instinct they exalt as
something far superior to practical in
telligence, and glory in being its sub
missive slaves. There are certain qual
ities which go to make an actreos, and
most of them go to mako a lunatic.
All actresses are, of course, not neces
sarily mad, but if I were on a jnry im
panoled to try an actress for murder. I
should approach the inquiry with the
reeling that nature haa probably not
been lavish to her in that harmony of
intellectual powers which produce
moral responsibility.
"Diamond Cut Diamond."
Crossing the Kocky mountains once,
says a correspondent, I saw an amusing
illustration of tho hardnens of corundum.
A traveling peddler undertook in the c an
to sell a lurgo "diamond" ring to a
miner who had mado his pile. "Humph,"
said the miner, after critically examining
tho ring, "they've got common stone up
in tho diggings where I've Ik i ii that'll
cut that diamond all to pieces!" "If
you'll find a piece of stouo that will cut
that diamond I'll give it to vou," re
plied the jHHldler. "All right, ' said the
miner, "if I can't cut thut diamond '
with a stone I'll buy it of yon." Ther
ujion tho miner took tho ring in his
hand and pulled from Lis vest pocket a
small piece of browu-lotiking utone,
similar to a bit of dark free-stone, except
that tho grain was ery line, and with
this ho proceeded coolly to cut and
scratch that "diamond" with eirul
ugly-looking gashes. A group of pas
sengers that hud gathered about tht
miner were amazed, but while thev
snickered thepeddlerwith his "diamond""
withdrew discomfited. " TUt little)

miner, "isapieco of corundum tht I
