to fall into error.
over woman." as tieien watterson
terms it, let us say that the forego
ing quotation is not from a woman - .
but from a man whose history is
worthy of more space than we can cive it. The author was Joseph
Hardy Nessima, a Japanese who, at
tho risk of his life, ran away from
his native land to America in order that he might learn English and read the Bible, some portions of which in the Chinese language had fallen into his hands. He arrived
m this country in 1000 wnen ne was twenty-two years of age. Through the benevolence of Mr. Alpheus Hardy, he took his preparatory course at Philips Academy, his college course at Amherst and Iiis
theological at Andover. Returning i t i
stood in the front rank of her class
es in one of the leading universities
of this country: whatever the de
partment, languages, literature, mathematics, science, she stood sec
ond to none. She was several times
elected to represent her class in literary contests, and along all lines was recognized as one of the leading spirits of her class. She married immediately after graduation, and,
.though many years have elapsed, is
still "doing herown work," sewing, mending and caring for children. We do not say that this woman's life is wasted, we do say that much of her power is wasted, that
is an infinite pity that, doing so
much well, she snouiu ue lorcea to
spend her time in the endless,
thankless routine of lighting dust and cobwebs, sewing on buttons, etc., while her intellect is starving, and the faculties which in her girl-
lood promised so much have lost
heir cunning through long disuse
The other caso is similar, ol a
young woman of remarkable natural
ability as an artist, who dropped
ier brush when she entered the mat
rimonial estate, and long exclusive wielding of the broom and dishcloth
have rendered clumsy the once
skillful lingers.
It is idle to say that such cases
argue simply lack of force in the women themselves Men as well as women are victims to the customs and prejudices of society. It is
over man that Carlyle mourns as
"drowning in the despicablest ot 1 11 . .i 'ti i;r
puddles; me priceless gut 01 nie slowly strangled out of him by the
lnnumerauie iiacKinrcaus 01 auuiui
forms." The thousands of women
of whom the two given above are
representatives, are simply being
strangled by these "packthreads,"

or, to use Mrs. Mary a. Liivermore s
striking figure, "they are lyiug in
the trough of the sea."
True, it would not be a difficult thing to seize the rudder strongly
and steer straight out into the calm
depths beyond the chopped up seas
of the shore. The difliculty lies in
seeing the possibility. The des
uicable "packthreads" which bind
them to their doom are the spider
webs of custom. To "do her own
work" and do it so that it shall be beyond criticism is the generally
conceded duty of the young wife in
moderate circumstances, liut in the due course of nature this soon
makes it utterly impossible for her
to do anything else. However kind
generous and well intentioned her
husoanu may ne, nine times out o
complain. It is women chiefly who
need to learn the lesson mat

It has been suggested often and
Ijy many persons that there should
e a suitable monument erected in Petersburg to the memory of the
Union soldiers of the late war who
enlisted from Pike county. A mon
ument should be erected by all a ! A
means. A soldiers monument
would demonstrate to the old veter
ans that they are not forgotten. It
would teach the young generations that "the cause for which so many
fought and died" was a worthy one.

man should have seen in the inequality in the rights of man and woman the greatest cause for the low moral tone of his nation, and for the scarcity of great men, is a very significant fact.
