It seems as ff a blilow of celestial glory hud daah(.nl clear over heaven's Uttlem'ents ujhju this metropolis of l'ersia. In connection with this palace there is a garden, where the mighty men of foreign lands m-u Boated at abant|uet. I, nder tlic spread of oak, and linden, and acacia, the tables are arranged. The breath of honeysuckle and frankincense tills the air. fountains leap up into the light, the spray struck through with rainbows falling in crystalline bapt.sm uiion lloivering shrubs—then rolling down through channels of marble, anil widening out hero rmd there into pool.-, swirling with the tinny tribes of foreign aquariums, bordered with Sl.u let anemones, V[erieums, and manv colored ranunculus.

Amon^ thequetMLs whom I honor are tho female day M-hool teachers of this land. I put ujHiri their brow the coronet. They aro the sisters and tho daughters of our towns and cities, selected out of a vast nnml»er of applicants. Kvause of their esj^ecial inteliectual ami moral endowmenU. There aro in none of your homes women more worthy. Theso |erso!»s, j*me of them, come out from alllucnt homes, choosing teaching as*a useful profession others, finding that father is older than he used to be, and that his eyesight and strength are not as good a.s once, go to teaching to lighten his load. But I tell you tho history ot tho majority of tho female toacliI ers in the public schools when I say: "Father is dead." After the estato was settled, tho family, that, were comfortable before, aro

It is hard for men to earn a living in this day, but it is harder for women—their health not so rugged, their arms not so strong, their opportunities fewer. Theso persons, after tremblingly going through tho ordeal of an examination as to their qualifications to and 1 teach, half lewildered step over tho sill of the public school to do two thiugs—instruct tho young and earn their own bread. Her work is wearing to the last degree. Tho management of forty or fifty lidgety and intractable children, the suppression of their vices and the development of their excellencies, the management of rewards and puiiishments, tho sending of so many bars of soap and fino tooth 1 combs on lenignant ministry, the breaking

I of so many wiid colts for the harness of life, sends her home ut night weak, neuralgic, unsprung, so that of all the weary people in your cities for Ave nights of the week, there arc noue more weary than the public school teachers. Nuw, for God's sake, give them a fair chance. Throw no obstacles in the way. if they come out ahead in the race, cheer thorn. If jou want to smito any, smite tho male teachers they can take up tho cudgels for themselves. liut keep your hands oil'of defenseless woman. Father may be dead, but there are enough brothers left to demand rnd see that they get justice.

Within a stone's throw of this building there died years ago one of the principals of our public schools. She had been twenty-five

years at that iost. Mie had left the touch of singly or collectively, the estate of tho dorefinement on a multitudeof tho young. She ceased husband and living widow had. out of her slender purse, given literally Xow, ,hat

sho mothered tho whole school. Worn out with nursing in tho sick and dying room of one of the household, she herself came to die. She closixl the school look and at the same time the volume of her Christian fidelity and when sho went through tho gates they cried: "These are they who came out of great tribulation, and hrnl their robes washed and mado white in the blood of the Lamb.''

immortality of earthly fame which is mor- ago approved and sought for now none tal, but the immortality celestial. And they iwornstom-l.-iimvln.wi,,.. shall reiwii foreverandever! Oh.theopportuni ty which every woman has of being a queen! Tho longer 1 livo tho more 1 admire gwd womanhood. And I have come t«.» form my opinion of the character of a man by his appreciation -r non-appreciation of woman. If a man have a depitssed idea of a womanly character ho is a bad man, and there is no exception to the rule. Tiie writings of Goethe can never have any such attractions for me as Shakespeare, lecauso nearly ail tho womanly characters of tho great German havo some kind of turpitude. There is his Mariana,

No. no: Give mo William Shakespeare's idea of woman and 1 see it i:i Dcsdeuiona, and Cordelia, and Rosalind, and Imogen, and down Helena, and Ilcrniione, and Viola, and J.-a-Ix-lla, and Sylvia, and l'erdita, all of them v.-ith eiiongh faults to prove tlieni human, but enough kindly- characteristics to give us the author's idea of womanhood, his I.jdy Macbeth oniy a dark background to bring out the supruK.e iveliness of his other female charaetci-s.

Oh, woman of America! rise to your opportunity. lie no slave to pride, or" worldliiicss, or sin. Why ever crawl in the dust, v.l.an you can mount throne Ue queens unto Uod forever. Hall Vashti'

Again: I want you to consider Vashti the vciie-i. Had she appeared liefore Ahasuerus and bis court on that day, with her face tin-covci-ed. sho would have shucked all tho delicacicsot' Oriental society, and tho very men who in their intoxication demanded that she come, in their sober moments would have despised her. A.s some tlo'.vers seem to thrive best the dark lane and in the shadow, and where the sun does liot seem to reach them so !od appoints to most womanly natures a retiring and unobtrusive spirit. (.Jod once in a while docs call an Isabella to a throne, or a Miriam to strike the timbrel at the front of a host, or a Marie Antoinette to quell a I'rcnch mob, or a Ueborah to stand at the from of an armed battalion crying out, 1 .*p: up! This is the day in which the l„o will deliver Sisera into thy hands.*' And when women arc called to such outdoor work', and to such I'.eroie^pos.iions Cod prepares t.hcm for it and they havo iron in their soul, and lightnings ia their eye, and whirlwinds in their breath, and the borrowed strength of the Lord Omnipotent in their right arm. They walk through furnaces as though they were hedges of wild flowers,anil cross seas as though they were sbii.micrin'* sapphire, and all the harpies o"f hell sink down t« their dungeon at the stamp of their womai.ly indignation. But these are exceptions. Generally, Luruis would rather make a garment lor the poor boy licbccca. would rather (ill tho tro.ugli for the camels Hannah would rather

tr.nko a coat, for Sam::el tho ITebrow maid would rather give a prescription for Xaamon'S leprosy tho woman of Sarepta would rather gather a few sticks to cook a meal for famished Elijah l*hebo would rather carry a letter for tho inspired apostle Mother Lois would rather educato Timothy in tho Scripttires. When I seo a woman goiug alout her daily duty—with cheerful dignity presiding at the table with kind ami gentle, but firm, disciplino presiding in the nursery, going out iuto the world Without any blast of trumpets, following in the foot-stojvs of htm who went about doing good-I say: 'This is Vashti with a veil on." Hut when I see a woman of unblushing boldness, loud voiced, with a tongue of inllnite clitter clatter, with arrogant look, passing through the streets with a masculine swing, gayly uraved in a very hurricane of millinery, 1 cry out: "Vashti has lost her veil A\ hen 1 set* a woman struggling for |olitical preferment, nnd rejecting tho duties of home as insignificant, and thinking the otllcea of wife, mother and daughter of no importance, and trying to force her way on up into conspicuity, I say:

Ah, what a pity! Vashti has lost her veil!*' hen I seo a woman of comely features, and of adroitness of intellect,' and enflowed with all that tho schools can /or one, and of high social position, yet moving in society with super-

But do not misinterpret what I say into a depreciation of tho work of those glorious and divinely called women who will not bo understood till after thoy aro dead women liko Susan B. Anthony, who are giving their lifo for tho letterment of the condition of their sex. Thoso of you who think that women have under tho laws of this country an equal chanco with men are ignorant of tho laws. A gentleman writes me from Maryland, saying: Tako tho laws of this state. A man and wife start out in lifo full of hope in every inspect by their joint efforts, and, as is frequently tho ease, through tho economic ideas of tho wife, succeed in no cumulating fortune, but they havo no children they reach old ago together, and then tho husband dies. What docs tho law of this state do then/ It says to the widow: ''Hands off your late husband's property do not touch it tho stato will find others to whom it will giyo that but you, tho widow, must not touch it, only bo much as will keep lifo within your aged body, that you may livo to seo thoso others enjoy what rightfully should bo your own.'1 And tho stato seeks the relatives of the deceased husband, whether they bo m\,v or far, whether they wero ever

heard of ore or not, and transfers to them,

is a

specimen of unjust laws in

tbo states concerning womanhood. In-

stead of flying off to the discussion oa to

not tho giving of tho right of

voting to woman will correct theso laws, lot mo say to men, be gallant enough, and fair enough, and honest enough, and rightoous enough, and God loving enough to correct these wrongs against women by your own masculine vuU. L)o not wait for woman suffrage to come, if it ever does come, but so tar as you can touch ballot boxes, and legislatures, and congresses begin tho reformation. But until justice is done to your sex by the l&ws of all tho states, and women of America tako tho platforms and the pulpits, and no honorable man will charge Vashti with having lost her veil.

Again: I want you this morning to consider Vasht the sacrafice. Who is this that

All that refinement nnd books, and wealth can do for that home lias been dono but Ahasuerus, the husbund and the father, is taking liold on paths of Bin. He is graduallygoing down. After awhile ho will flounder and struggle like a wild beast in the hunter's net—further away front Ood, further away from (he right. Soon tho bright apparel of the children will turn to rags: soon the household song will become the sobbing of a broken heart. The old story over again. Brutal Centaurs breaking up tho inarriago feast of Lap!tha.'. he house full of outrage, and cruelty, and abomination,

Vashti and

homes represented

in this house this morning that- are in danger of such a breaking up. Oh Ahasuerus, that you should stand in a home, by a dissipated life destroying the jieace and crnifort of that" home. God forbid that your children should ever have to ring their hands, and have people point their finger at them as they pars down tho street, and say, ''There goes a drunkard's child.'' Go.l forbid that the little feet should ever have to t.-.-.idge the path of poverty and v.Tctehediics,-. God forbid that any evil spirit, born of the ivinu cup cr tho brandy llask, should come l.irtli anil uproot that garden, and, ith a blasting, blistering, all consuming curse, shut for over tho palace gate against Vashti and the children.

Oh the women and the men of .sacrifice are going ttit ake tiie brightest coronals of heaven I This woman of tiie tort gave up palatial rcsiidcnce, gave up ail for what, she considered right.
