A

AMANDA.

Where sun and flower are beaming Amanda's charms appear.

Hier beavty’s rays are streaming Round all this earthly sphere.

The breeze when gently blowing, The rose that scents the grove,

The vine when brightly glowing, All tell of her I love.

I hear her song's sweet numbers When zephyr’s breezy wings

weep o'er the gold harp’s slumbers And wake its tuneful strings.

Ail, all the charms of nature Amanda's beauty bear

And show tn every feature Her godhead imaged there.

The spirits of the dying

Must quit this clay’s control, But they to rest are flying

In sedlibens of the soul.

The floods, now onward striding, Are foaming, fierce and free, Yet soon their waves, subsiding,

Will slumber in the sea.

But I must vainly languish For joys I ne'er can know ; And wear a cureless anguish ie In loneliness and woe. ? Fair goddess, I shall ever Behold thy beauty shine Like stars above, but never Can hope to call thee mine! —Eric Johan Stagnelius.

HIS NOVEL METHOD.

mengssce em

A Sheriff Who Appointed His Deputy With a Double Barreled Shotgun,

That tale related of an Alabama girl who shot @ young man a couple of times and then married him recalls the method employed by George Bards- ley, one of' the early day sheriffs of Ellis county, tn appointing his deputies. One night he was called to Chris Ri- ley's saloon, where “Texas Frank,” a newly arrived desperado in Hays City, was “shooting out” the place—a per- formance which consisted in the pro- miscuous firing of his ‘“‘gun’’ at the bar- keeper, bystanders, lamps, bottles and pictures. Sheriff Bardsley grabbed the first weapon handy in his own saloon, which happened to be a double bar- relled shotgun, and proceeded to Ri- ley’s on the run. Dashing in he ordered Frank to throw up his hands, and the response was a bullet from Frank’s 44. Letting go both barrels of his shotgun, Bardsiey brought the desperado to the floor, so full of ‘shot holes that he couldn't hold either air or water.

Frank was not killed, however, and in course of time recovered, under the kind attention which he received in the county, jail. Presently it was ob- served that the Texas man was walk- ing around town without a guard, and a little later the people were aston- ished to find him serving legal papers and making arrests. Bardsley was: ap- proached ty a newspaper man at this time, when the following colloquy took place:

“Is ‘Texas Frank’ your deputy?” que- ried the reporter.

“Yep!” was the sententious response of Bardsley.

“How does that come?” was the next Anquiry. |

“Well, you see,” said Bardsley, “most sheriffs appoint their deputies, but I like to shoot mine.”’—Kansas City Jour- nal.

BRAVERY OF WOMEN. _

By Lapy Cook, nee TENNESSEE C

CLAFLIN

It was said by an excellent Divine, “That though many discoveries. have been made in the world of self-love, there is yet abundance of ‘terra incog- nita’ left behind. It has pleased men to arrogate to themselves nearly the whole of human courage and to regard women as very timid and cowardly creatures when compared with them- selves. Now we do not deny that some women occasionally have little affectations which give a colour to this opinion. ‘These are scared at meeting harmless cows or oxen, as though they were ferocious bulls, They jump in terroron a chair at the sight of a mouse. All these however, are errors of education, just as boys are taught from the cradle to despise girls for their supposed want of bravery, and grow to manhood without seeidg their mistake. Yet. Mandeville in his “ Search into the Nature of Society,” avers that “man, as he is a fearful ani- mal, naturally not rapacious; loves Peace and Quiet, and he would never Fight, if nobody offended him, and he could have what he fights for without it. ‘This may be true of man as a Ssav- age. But civilization gives so much skill and dissipates so many errors and ter- rors,that men have learned to be quarr- ]some, courageous, and self-reliant.

It would be natural to suppose the mothers and sisters of brave men would be brave also. We look for cognate pualities in both sexes of other an- imals, and are not disappointed. Why should mankind be an_ exception?

Why shouid it be imagined that men have all the courage and women a monopoly of timidy? Simply because of man’s stupendous self-conceit ‘The majority have never given the subject a rational thought. They have ex- cluded women from their favourite ‘fields for the display of bravery, and then pride themselves upon their vast superiority. But, whenever women

‘havehad equal opportunities, they have

proved themselves no despicable com- petitors with men in physical courage, and far ahead of them in moral fear- lessness. Ata time like the present, when public attention is largely drawn to a comparative view of the qualities of both sexes,it may be profitable to draw attentiérfe the bravery of wom- en. We do not desire to undervalue the conspicuous valour of men. On the contrary, we are proud to recognise to the full. We only wish to point out that women are capable of the same great quality to a profitable degree, and that, therefore, it should be encouraged in them as Wellasinmen. If the man refuse, let women exhort each other.

No one can doubt that moral cour- age is superior to physical, Men exceed in the latter, women in the for- mer, and it is not desirable that this should be altered even were it possible.

Yet it would add to the dignity of

both if men were stronger morally and women physically.

A modern historian says, “Moral and rational faculties may alike be dormant and they will certainly be so ifmen are wholly immersed in the gratification of their senses. Man is like a_ plant, which requires a favourable soil for the full expansion of its natural or innate powers.” If men had been shut out, as women have, from the exercise of their physical faculties, it is certain they would have developed excess of physical powers?

Notwithstanding her social disadvan- tage in this respect, woman has made her mark in the annals of bravery. History affords numerous examples of great heroines, many of them too, at a time when her general position was that of a slave, but we can only note a few. Leaena of Attica bore the sever- est torture without a word. Telesilla, the poetess, made the Argolic women fearless of death, and discomfited the the Spartana. Theodora saved the Eastern Empire. Artemisia drank the ashes of her consort. Camilla, Queen so the Volscians, was slain fighting at the head of her troops. Bodicea en- countered the veterans of Rome. ‘The Maid of Orleans drove the English from France. Arris stabbed herself to encoursge her husband to die. “See, it does not hurt, dear Paetus,” she said. The tales of martyrdom are fer- tile of heoric women. Young maid- ens met the most horrible deaths with placid contempt, if not with vehement joy. No fiendish tortures that devils could devise were able to shake the fortitude of numberless brave women.

Whether under Nero or the Bishops, under the Inquisition or the French Revolutionaries, 1t was noted with sun- prise and admiration that the woman died more bravely than the man. With what grace and calmness, and infinite tenderness, for others, did Anne Boleyn and Mary of Scotland lay their fair necks upon the block. Even the fearless Raleigh suffers by comparison, for their

queenly dignity cxcelled his half-jocular carelesness.

When we cometo physical self-sacri- ice, to giving one’s life to save the most dearto us, women stand almost alone, Whether to suck a poisoned wound, or to intervene and receive the assassin’s dagger, or to nurse the wounded in fhe midst of battle,or to watch by the cofich of pestilence and death, or to commit suicide to save their own and thesr hus- bands’ honour, they have acted without a parallel on the part of man. Woman’s love is stronger than her fears, and there is no sacrifice which she will not cheerfully make for him who sways her heart. What she does by impulse man feebly tries todo by calculation

But it is in moral courage that woman shines. Just as the greater strength and training of man makes him physically snperior, so the moral strength and training of woman makes him morally her inferior. In lovaliy, truthfulness, chastity, fidelity, pity, sobriety, honesty, and general perseverance in Well-doing, she isimmeasurably above him, This has been noticed by great writers in every age, and it would not be difficult to discover why she is so much man’s moral superior. Mandeville thought it was because her brain was more accurately balanced. We think, how- ever, that it largely owing to a higher s andard of moral conduct having bec n constantly demanded from her from remotest times. But she must insist upon further physical advancement, and man should look to his morals, that sexual harmony may result.

It is no wonder that the cowards and narrow-hearted among the menare bitterly opposed to the “New Woman.” They see “the rod of empire” slipping from their grasp, and feel that their brute force and cunning cannot save them. Women are already men‘s moral super- iors, and are fast becoming their intell- ectual equals. ‘Their physique is im- proving more rapidly than the mens Altogether, the outlook assures us of sexual equality atno far distant date. Whenever it arrives, it will give a univer- sal impetus to progress, and mark a new and happier era for humanity, for Right, not Might, will govern, and the worthiest wear the crown. ‘The brave woman of the past and present will than be revered as the daring pioneers in the discovery of a New. Heaven and a New Earth.

Some stories are so good that if they are nt true they oughtto be. The following ix, however, absolutely vouched for, says the New York Journal of Commerce. The wife of adry goocs merchant returned re cently from Enrope and brought back with her, among other things, @ piece of printed cotton fabric which had caught her fancy in Parix. She paid at the rate of 25 cente a yerd for it. Her husband, when he saw it, thought it strangely familiar, and no wonder, for when he opened it out be found that the ticket on it was that of an American printing concera whose goods he was in the babit of handling, and of selling this particular line at not mo-e than 10 cents per yard. It is pleasing to aid that domestic relations stood the est of this discovery.
