MRS. PERKINS' LECTURE.
BY KM. RANDALL.
LOVE," wild Mrs. Terklns,
woman hasn't found her
npluire until she rcnclies the polls."
"Exactly," said Perkins.
" And because sho hasn't attained the
summit of her ambition hasn't reached
the polls, she should bring all her ener
gies to bear upon that one point. Until
that point 1b gained, everything else
should be secondary In her thoughts, for
this should bo her design :
Firxt, Object to be gained. Second,
Home and family. If her husband Is
neglected ho should remember that It Is
only for a short time, and It will be the
making of his wife. If he feels hurt
because his children are uncared for, he
must keep In his mind that his wife's
work will make his girls famous, and, In
the end, elevate the morals and princi
ples of his boys."
Little Mrs. Perkins paused, quite out
of breath, Inwardly gloating over her
eloquent speech, yet, with an undercur
rent of feeling that her husband didn't
appreciate it after all.
Mr. Perkins was silent for an Instant
only.
" What does . this all tend to, my
dear1!"'
" That I want to join the II. Woman's
lllghts' Association," said the lady,with
It must be confessed, the least spice of
defiance In her voice.
" Eureka 1" said Perkins, then draw
ing the little, blue-robed figure to him
tenderly smoothing down the soft, au
burn hair, looking steadily into the
brown eyes that despite ten yearBof Mar
ried life, couldn't meet the bud, blue
ones without giving their owner a throb,
" What good would it do you, littlo
wife V Would you love your husband
and children any better for so doing; be
any more thankful for the blessings
your Heavenly Father hasglven your,or
perfect yourself more completely for the
life that Is to come? If so, Join it and
welcome. "
And Mrs. T. did Join the club. True,
she felt a bit of compunctiou at first
about leaving her family three nights in
a week, knowing, as she did, that ber
husband was more fond of home, than
is usual in most cases, and that he felt
her absence severely.
Not a word, however, from his lips as
night after night he watohed his wife's
retreating form flit across the back gar
den, and adjoining field, until it was lost
to view in dusky shadows about the lit
tle cottage where lived Miss Tolly, the
leader in this grand woman rebellion.
Only on moonlight nights, however, did
she take the trip alone. Neither pity
for his wife, nor shame for himself, nor
fear of Miss Polly's sharp-edged tongue,
could prevent him bearing his wife com
pany, when there was no light to guide
her. Usually Mr. Perkins, impelled by
his strong sense of honor, retraced his
steps immediately after leaving his wife
at the door ; but upon one occasion the
temptation of heariug Humboldt elo
quence proved too strong for him. A
curtain to ono of the windows of the lit
tle back parlor had not been lowered
sufficiently, and eitlter a passing glimpse
of the little group within, or a part of
the curiosity wrongly imputed to women
alone, led the aforesaid gentleman to
take up a position, where he couldn't be
seen and yet could see.
" Ladles," said Miss Polly, the blazing
sun of this grand system, " what are we
here for, to-night V"
" What V" echoed the lesser orbs.
" We are here said Miss Polly, " to
prepare us for the groat struggle the
struggle which is eventually to rob the
lords of creation of a portion of their
might, their power. Power, not only
over the bodies of women, but their
minds; not only the bodies and minds
of women, but their souls! What, has
it not already been boasted that a
woman, If she could vote, would vote
the same ticket that Jier husband did t
Has not many a woman been led by her
husband to forsake the path of religion,
avoid praying people, and take delight
in the society of dancing, card-playing
companions ? Is it not so, ladies V"
" But," ventured little Mrs. Perkins,
" has not many a husband been re
formed by the prayers and Christian ex
ample of his wife V"
"Mrs. Perkins," .said Miss Tolly,
awfully, "don't let your partiality carry
you too far."
The lady sank back, abashed.
" Fellow workers," said the speaker,
" our sisters are already in the field.
Why do we sit with folded arms ?
Treadling will do no good, if we do not
put into practice. We must send out
lecturers and use our best endeavors to
raise the yoke which has galled our
necks so long."
Miss Tolly, who was really an intelli
gent, well-meaning, middle-aged lady,
then unrolled a long sheet of legal-cap
pages, written over with bold charac
ters. " Ladles," once more began the speaker,
11 I have been thinking and planning
lately, and, nn prenldont of tbli honor
ably body, have mnde the following ap
pointment !
" Mrs. Janet Perkins will lecture in
the Humboldt town hall Monday eve.,
Oct. 12th. Bubjcct, ' Self Chosen.'
" Miss Valeria Ferris will lecture at
the Wavcrly school house Wenesday
eve., Oct. 10th. Subject, ' Sisterhood.'
"Mlsa Oeorglana lilodgct, in the red
sehooNiouso Friday eve., Oct. 10th.
Subject, ' Woman's Present Influence.'
" The meetings of tho H.I. W. R. A.
will be adjourned until week after next,"
said Miss Polly, without appearing to
notice the excitement caused by her
manifesto. " Secretary, read the by
laws." " Jove," ejaculated Mr. Perkins, a few
minutes later, following Just close
enough after his wife to avoid exciting
her surprise, tho lady in question being
rather timid, "I'll let her try it, and I
have n, notion that one trial will be
enough,"
Poor Janet TcrklnBl Those awful
words "self chosen," burned into her
very brain. They rang In her ears with
the Hunday sermon, and were echoed in
the clear pure tenor of her husband's
volco singing the closing anthem. Hue
read " self chosen" in liery characters
all over the daily news, until she felt
that even Esau's pottage, In exchange
for the birthright of " suffrage" which
Miss Tolly had urged her to fight for,
would be reully a bargain. All compo
sition, too, was out of the question.
Even the eloquent speech which she had
flung so triumphantly in her husband's
face, had deserted her. Miss Tolly could
not help her. Hhe wrote " by inspira
tion," she said. Words to that effect
addressed to Mr. Perkins, produced the
remark :
"Guess she isn't often inspired."
"Sit right down, Janet Terklns,"
ordered Tolly, " and think of something.
Make up your mind you've got to write
then write. But on my knees, I beg
you," said she, with a theatrical gesture,
" don't let one of the other sex help
you 1 Do be independent of your
tyrant!"
Monday morning noon evening
came, before the manuscript which Miss
Tolly dominated " the lecture," was
completed, and not until 8 o'clock did
Mrs. J. P. find herself mounting the
steps of the town hall. Every eye was
turned upon her, as she entered the lec
ture room, but still she bad no feeling of
fear or responsibility. She was dazed,
bewildered. She bad one great reason to
rejoice, her husband had yielded to her
(leadings and remained at home to care
for the children. Fail as she might, ho
would never witness it.
She never thought of herself as she
walked down the aisle supported by
Miss Tolly, only of the way she could
Assist her suffering sisters.
But let us return to Mr. Terklns.
In a very singular manner hud that
gentleman behaved after seeing his wife
depart ; he changed the outer garments
of the children for others, assuring them
mat tuey snouia see mamma," over
and over again. About nine o'clock be
left home, taking the children with him
and closing the house, directed his steps
toward the town hall. At the door he
was met by a few others, and in com.
pany with them, entered the building.
Mrs. Terklns had finished ninthly,
. and, warming with her subject, and just
given utterance to the following words
" Dear sisters, let each of you from
this night, begin your new mission.
Educate your girls to know that they
are to have a part in the government of
their country, and rights equal to those
Inherited by their brothers. Teach
your boys that, in order to win a pure
woman they must be pure themselves,
and, in doing so, feel that you are not
only self-chosen for the work,but chosen
of "
Here she was interrupted by a most
unearthly shriek from Miss Polly, and
following with her eye the direction in
dicated by that lady's outstretched hand,
gave one scream herself and fainted.
Down the aisle came two gentlemen,
one Mr. Perkins, and the other a gentle
men, whose wife also belonged to the
H. I. W. R. A., each carrying two chil
dren. Behind them followed eight or
ten children, perfect rag-a-muflins load
ed with tatters of every descrlption,and,
bringing up the rear, another man, with
a baby in his arms.
Mrs. Janet Perkins lectured no more !

A Call Upon an Editor.
" THROM the sample trunks in the
1. hallways of the hotel, we should
judge the drummers from New York
houses have arrived in town," was the
innocent paragraph a Western editor
wrote for his paper.
When he returned from dinner the
grinning office boy announced to him
that four gentleman were waiting to see
him.
" Where are they y asked the quill
driver.
" Well," said the Imp, " they've been
smoking in the composing room till the
compositors have sneezed all the type
out of their sticks, 'n they've sent me
out six times for beer, 'n now they're
playln' draw poker with the foreman on
the Imposing stone."
"Very well," said the editor, bring
ing a large club In the corner Into view,
replacing tho pnper cutter with a bowle
knife, and half opening a drawer In
which rpposed a revolver, " show "em
in."
Four gentlemen, In very plain suits,
with very large diamond pins and very
large watch chains, with lockets at the
ends as big as dollars, entered, tho fore
most laying a card on the desk, In
scribed KriAftp, CiiiHKr, k Co.,
IIKII llf-tkman Htreot, New York,
Hardware stii Cutlery.
In small letters, and
Presented liy Geo. (lovnu.
in very largo ones, asked :
" Are you the editor 5"'
Tho Journalist looked at the party
quietly, as If calculating the cost of their
grave clothes, and onswered, " I
am."
" Here Is a littlo paragraph about com
mercial travelers," said Mr. Gouge,
pulling a paper from his pocket, "which
me and my friends, who are members of
the Temple of Honor, and belong to the
Young Men's Christian Association of
New York, would like explained."
The miserable man took the paper
mechanically, and gazed at his para
graph, which the printeis had set as fol
lows: !
" From the simple drunks in tho hell
ways of hotels, we should judge the
drunkards from New York houses have
arrived in town." . j
Quietly taking up his revolver, the
editor strode up stairs. Two sharp re
ports and heavy fulls were heard, and
the journalist returned and pleasantly
remarked to his visitors :
" Gentlemen, there are not many en
tertainments in this town now, but a
proof-reader and a compositor are to be
burled to-morrow, and if you care for
that sort of thing, should be pleased to
see you at the funeral."
And he went down to write an obitu
ary notice, while that night, through
the cold and heavy mist, four gentle
men bought rallwaystickets for Chicago.
" Boston Bulletin."
Anecdote of Jackson.
"17HEN Andrew Jackson was a young
V V an attending courtat Rogersvllle,
Tenn., he lived at a hotel famous for its
good cheer. One day, as he sat on the
plnzza,a youth came riding along dressed
in the pink of fashion, his eyes fixed on
vacancy, replying not to the salutes
which it was the custom of the times
for strangers to give each other.
At a glance Jackson saw the fop, and
determined to play the part of Boniface,
He welcomed the stranger with dis
tinguished politeness, and the company
about the fire made room for him. But
the automaton was not to be won to
conversation.
He walked up and down the room con
templating his own graces, and present
ly exclaimed commandingly :
" Landlord, I want supper."
Supper was spread and the stately
youth devoured it. Then he resumed
his walk, answered not a word to the
remarks of the fireside circle of lawyers
and judges, and Jackson grew more and
more wrathful.
" Landlord, I want to go to bed 1" was
the next demand ; and he added, " I
want a room to myself."
Jackson represented that the house
was full, and there was not a single
room to be had; the young fellow was
not to be moved. Jackson disappeared,
and shortly returned, announcing that
the guest's room was ready. The two
went through the front door, all the
company following, and stopped at
the corn crib, through the cracks of
which a light was shining.
" There's your room," said Jackson
" Do you wish to insult me, sir ?" the
youth asked.
" No insult at all, sir. You vowed you
would not sleep in a room with any ono
and demanded a room by yourself. There
it is, sir."
"I vow I will not sleep there," said
the dandy.
"By the Eternal you shall !" exclaim
ed Jackson, and grabbing the youth, he
sent him at one toss into the crib and
locked the door.
And there he staid all night, and In
the morning he was released and dis
missed breakfastless by the impetuous
Jackson. This is a tale related by an
ancient lady of Rogersville.
Where Should Emigrants Go.
EVERY train from the East, says the
Santa Cruz (Cal.) "Local Item,"
and every steamer that arrives, bring
numberless emigrants seeking the shores
of our Golden State to find homes and
gather wealth. A large portion of these
new-comers are those of small means,
who come without any objective point
at which to locate, and with no definite
courseofactlon marked out. Many come
to these shores with the deluslvo expec
tation of finding employment plentiful,
and golden ducats lying around loosr,
waiting to bo picked up. Arriving hero
almost penniless, they find the same old
cry of " hard times" they left behind
them, and which they hail vainly hoped
to escape. Already the State is overrun
with this class of people, who can flnii
no employment, and how they subsist in
a mystery.
California has broad acres, and there
is room enough for all whn rr.r.y ijmo,
But unfortunately there are so many
large landed proprietors, who hold im-'
mense tracts of rich and valuable land,
which cannot be puruhused for love
nor money, that the prospects of these-
emigrants are not the most flattering.
Large land grants have been California'!
curse, and are to-day. Our salubrious
climate and unbounded 'resources aro
well enough to boast of,but there must be
something more tangible for incoming
settlers to subsist ou.
The day for gold-digging, except in
the deep mines owned by large com
panies, Is nearly past In California, and
those who go thither now, must, to a
large extent, become farmers. But if
the land is thus held by large owners,
this can only bo by their becoming hired
laborers. How much belter to go to a
State like Texas which has equally
good climate, and is fur more promising
as an agricultural State where land Is
to lie had in abundance! In the remoter
regions of Texas emigrants can have a
farm as a gift from the Government; in
places more accessible one can be bought
at a low price and on easy terms of pay
ment, from the railroad companies
which are ail anxious to sell.

Too Sharp for the Beggars"..
The following legend relates how u
certain Grand Duke of Florence built a
bridge without expense to the State:
" The Grand Duke Issued a proclama
tion that every beggar who would ap
pear in the grand plaza at a certain desig
nated time should be provided with u
new suit of clothes free of cost. At the
appointed time the beggars of the city
all assembled, whereupon the officer
caused each avenue in the public sqnare
to be closed, and then compelled the beg
gars to strip off their old clothes, and
gave to each one, according to promise, a
new suit. In the old clothes thus col
lected enough money was found con
cealed to build a beautiful bridge over
the Aruo, still called the ' Beggars'
Bridge.
To Cure Drunkenness.
Charles Napier, an Englishman of
good standing in science, has been test
ing the theory that alcoholic drink in
compatible with animal food, but not
with farinaceous. He announces, as the
practical result of many experiments,
that vegetable diet Is a remarkable help
to the cure of drunkenness. He men
tions the case of an old man, whose
constitution had been shattered by re
peated attacks of delirium tremens, and
who was cured of his appetite for liquor
in several months by eschewing meat.
This is an easy way to cure drunkenness
and it ought to be read in the temperance
meetings now in progress all over the
country.
Loving Friends.
Never cast aside your frieuds If by any
possibility you can retain them. We aro
the weakest of spendthrifts if we let one
drop off through inattention, or let one
push away another, or If we hold aloof
from one through petty Jealousy or heed
less slight or roughness. Would you
throw away a diamond because it pricked
you ? One good friend Is not to be
weighed against the jewels of the earth.
If there is coolness or unkindness be
tween us, let us come face to face and
have it out. Quick, before the love
grows cold 1 Life is too short to quirrel
In, or to carry black thoughts of friends.
It is easy to los-e a friend, but a new one
will not come for calling, nor make up
for the old one.
