SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
11T XEMO,
(CupyrlKlitrtd.)
Why not ht our "Thoughts" wan
dor for a while arouud Hint creation
old subject, WOtANT The diffi
culty is to bo hioJiHTo in our lan
guage, since wo mea are apt to ex
press ourselves regarding tho whole
sex just according, t whether wo
have had fateful or helpful uxperi-
ence with one member of it. We
are commercial ia our training that
wo make the grand mistake iu this
instauco of judgiug tho wholo by a
sample, the fabric by a thread, the
house by a splinter. Wo sum her
up just as wo feel individually. To
one she is like Arctic ice, distant
and abominably cold ; to another
she is steel, moldablo into a weapon
of fate, an anchor of hope, or the
narrowness of a razor-edgo ; or
again she is a ruby, warm aud lus
trous ; or mayhap (to bring a sudden
end to similes) she is a jelly-fish, so
simple you think you can see
through her, so yielding you think
you can mold her, uud yet capable
of bringing a smarting and hopeless
ache iuto your lit art that neither
concentration on other subjects nor
'II 11 .
years win alleviate. Jiut another
simile must come forth : to some
blessed mid happ y ones she is the
very tonic of life her intuition de
Alii .1
nets 1110 tinwortuy ambition, her
frown condemns it, her smile urges
on to noble ffoi t, her nod of ap
proval energizes tho (lagging spirits,
her gentle hand leads to the goal of
victory over self and over wrong.

llyiug in the car in which ho is tiav-
eliug ! The wheels seem to acquire
a certain cadence in their sound as
they pass over the lish-plates. The
latter begins to form itself into
syllables in tho ear. There it is now !
Proit i -gal ! prod i gal ! prod
gal:'" uud every momeut of divert
ed attention it strikes iuto the car
again: " Prod -i gal! prod i gal !
prod-i gal:" liven the soulless
train is thinking in concei t w ith me,
and coinciding with my thoughts of
woman as a sex and its a power in
the world.
A misanthropic father one time
brought up a son iu entire seclusion
from all womankind. When man
hood approached ho led tho boy out
through the world on a tour of ob
servation and described to him the
various creatures they met. As
they went, there came Irippling
along tho path a sweet young girl,
swinging her hut and smiling from
the very gleo of existence. "Father,'1
said the startled youth, "what ani
mal is that?" "My son," said tho
father, "that is a very silly and
dangerous creature called a goose.
1IM ll ' it li

know which creature tho boy would

As surely as tho planets revolve,
as surely as the tides ebb and How,
us sure us is tho influence of gravi
tation, tho man will seek tho woman
us his complemeutal portion. Dur
ing his boyhood sho is to him "only
a girl ! with a decided tiugo of su
periority in tho tone ho uses. But
gradually his eyes aro opened and
she becomes to him tho tumiiun
bonuti, tho highest good in lifo.
Everything thut bus been dear, to
him before fades into triviality ex
cept as it recommends him iu her
eyes. Ho intercepts her path to
t t v ,
eaten a sinuo. xi 110 wins it, lie is
raised into tho sovonth heaven of
iieiigut ; 11 it is (louiiHi mm, no is
plunged iuto a despair wherein even
mother and life, all, havo no valuo to
him. Woman becomes, therefore,
tho motivo force of tho world, with
its multifarious industries and its
arts. The gleries of a palaco aro us
naught to a man unless no Una a
woman to rulo therein ; his triumphs
in accomplishment aro Dead Soa
apples unless he can lay the trophies
at her feet t the ringing plaudits of
the crowd are hollow mockery to
him unless those thrilling sounds
can reach tho car and flush the
cheek of tho woman whom ho re
gards nbove all others He becomes
as clay iu her hand ; sho can mold
his very character and transform it
in these moments of supreme de
sire i she can draw aside the curtain
and show him 11 luo id. i, nobler
thought of love than his, for be
neath his chivalry uud his poetry
too often animalism is strongly lurk
ing ; sho can, if she will, let into his
eager soul the higher thought that
tho law of supremo love is not wild
possesion, but V.f-suhjugat ion.
Yet with those opportunities at her
command, with the yearning man,
awake to his incompleteness, quiver
ing at her side, with tho power with
in her to uplift his thoughts, his
motives, his ambitions, how num
berless aro tho women who aro mere
coquettes or shallow retailers of
Hinull-tnlk, or who meet the man on
his own lower plane of thought f
There aro the wheels again
"Prod-i-gal ! prod-i-gal, prod-i-gal
!"
Instead of woman being (ho weak
er she is the stronger in that which
constitutes leal strength. Morals
aro greater than muscles. To her is
committed the moral conservation
of the race in curbing her lover, iu
gently inllucncing her husband, in
setting right standards before her
children ; iu-if it be that she have
neither lover nor hu-.baud nor child,
yet is her power not reduced to
guide h'-r less advanced sister, to be
the trusted coniideut i. f those who
lire perplexed 11111I tending toward
moral destruction, to come into tho
lives of children whose mothers
have not the if' ' ient to
guide tinir own.' iTi'i.. tlioii!:"..
woman's apprehension of her power
has been, yet were this world be
reft of the constant leaven of her
upward tendency uud her carrying
of mail with her, it would bo noth
ing but a moral churiiol house. Sin-
is tho block that prevents progress
from slipping back again.
The wheels are slowing down as I
draw near my destination. Meus-
uredly they still say 'Trod i -gal !

for she too often scatters her ad
vantages to the wind, and reaps the
whirl-wind as a result.
