A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

TERRE HAUTE, JL APRIL 0, 1881

MAY A WOMAN OPENLY PROPOSE MARRIAGE? The Liberal Review, in answering!!* own query, "May Women woo?" declares that the world is at fault In frowning upon the right of the sex to make a natural selection of life partners.' Tbfi argument is exhaustive so far as it goes, and will settle the vexed question in some minds as to the propriety of women wooing and winning the masculine objects of their affections. But the just relations of the sexes to each other, and the indubitable right of woman to dis: dose her heart, are untouched. Women do woo in obedience to an infallible law of their sex, and the true question is: "May the follow her wooing up by openly pioposlng marriage?" Let us see. The life of a woman is her love the life of a man is his wisdom. The lovefpf love in the one and the love of wisdom in the other make them women and men How is this to be understood? A little explanation will suffice, A woman embodies the emotional and affectional elements, while a man embodies the ele rnents of wisdom which embrace the reasoning, protective and executive. She sees ana appreciates these in the man .through the quick perception of herlovs, and fto longs for a union with the man possessing qualities which she does not ut it an inferior degree, while corresponding, though not no intense, longing for a union with bar emotional and affectional nature, which be possesses only in an Inferior degree.

qui

possess but it he has a

Now if these two people can be brought together and married, then, perfect union being achieved of love on one hand and wisdom on the other, they are •'bone of one bone and iiesa of one flesh." Tho union thus make&A com-, plete soul-being, Although there are tv^o -human bodies. There is mutual stimulation, and the action and reafction consequent upon the blending of the emotional and affpctional with the reasoning and protective and executive, create conjugal love, and thence derived happiness. Wisdom desires to house and nourish love, but love ought to clearly indicate its own desire to be housed.and nourished by a particular man, and there can lie no immodesty in doing so. It is a mlHtake to suppose that there is a law of feminine nature which makes a woman tho pursued and man the punjuer. That has arisen from the etiquette order6od by sociologists who never studied the laws of nature. The very beauty of woman is an advanco toward man, and when her soft eyes and musical voice arc added to charming manners, the fact bo*comes clearer. These things are given her to fascinate and draw man to her, and keep him enthralled until he is capr tured. Possessing this remarkable law of attraction, which is born of love, why should she, after having thus wooed man to bor, stand like a, mute statue, cold and beautiful, giving no voice to lier emotional aiid affectional nature, tunf to tror appreciation? Why* should she, Alter nearly consummating a union through her powers of attraction ahd fascination, fail to rise to the climax, and vindicate an inherent right to say in so many words "Will you marry me?" It is only superior love puttiug a question to subordinate wisdom, for love is celestial while wisdom is chiefly terrestrial. Sod ety puts the terrestrial

above the celes«-

tial.'and in that inverts tho natural order. Tho general rosult is, fewor marriage^ fewer children, and leas conjugality in our world. As sexual law has made woman, as has been shown, a born wooer, the logical conclusion is that, of right, she can propose marriage without violence to any principle of modest v. If this concession is ever universally made, tho world will be more prosperous and happy, and tho people less nomadic from necessity.

E O A N E O E AT

"1 will marry you in April." Such was the reply of a Keokuk girl, Miss Minnie Rail, to the importunate request of her young lover, "Charles Gray, to name some month in which their marriage could be consummated. The words had scarcely died upon her lips when her lover threw his arms about her in a passionate embrace, such was the exuberance of his joy. A moment more and the young girl uttered a quick, loud, shriek, and exclaiming,. "Oh, Charley, I am gone!" fell back dead. Tho two were found on the sofa, the lover in an agony of tears and sobs, and the pale, lovelv face of the girl lying upon his shoulder. A doctor was called, but the voung life had goneout, and the matriedunmarried heart stilled forever. She had died, it is supposed, of disease of the heart/being of fragile constitution and addicted to attacks of bad health. But there is another theory. The number of persons who have died front excess of joy makes a long and interesting list. A girl of highly emotional nature might be overcome bv discovering how much she ia loved, even though there was organic disease of the heart. The young man in this remarkable case stated, while in the extreme of anguish, that he had employed no unusual force while embracing the girl, and it is difficult to Ivlicvc that the shock could have been such as to drive the blood in volumes upon the heart. A woman under such otrrumstanee* wottld naturally expect some personal demonstration on the part of her lover, and the death of Miss

Rail is a question for the physiologists of a most Interesting character. Independent of its scientific phase, the occurrence ia a beautiful yet melancholy episode in the love drama ot the human as-esa

From Sunday Sermon.

I am writing a life of Christ. I did not find it very hatd to write until I came to the place where I stopped but when I came to the last forty days, when Christ came to the sight of the crow, the stages of thought, the depths of feeflitg. are such that I stand appalled. I am not fit to write it. I have had some sorrow as a preparation. I have had some trouble that has been an interpreter of Christ to me, and I am better fitted for the task than 1 should have been some years ago but the revelations of God are such that no plummet ever sounded them. The best that I can do I shall do, but with a feeling that, after all, it is but mereljr skimming the surface, and is very inadequate. In all things there is good the churches are so jealous that they are sorry to hear that a' man who is an infidel Is* a good man. I am not I tharik God for it. 1 am sorry that he is an infidel, but I rejoice for all the good that is inhim. nBessgtagsa^asse POISONED BY A LEAD PENCIL.

"I'LL BE READY IN A MINUTE" New Orleans Picayune. This is a woman's ready reply, but not the reply of a ready woman. Every man knows that. He may as well settle himself comfortable for a wait, when he ha* it for an answer.

What one of the sterner sex who ha* an engagement to drive or walk with a lady, or to escort ber to opera, theater or ball does not experience a chill in reply to his punctual ring at the bell and the delivery of his card, the assurance, "I'll be ready in a minute!" "A minute! That isn't long he say* to himself, and he walks into the parlor. One minute passes and grows into wo, three, four and five. He risea and ooks about and pulls out hie watch. He even ventures to ring for the servant to auggest it i* growing late, and with the servant conies the reiterated assurance, 'ready ina minute."

After meandering in front of the bookcases he examines the knickknacks in dangerous proximity to his elbow, trips over two or three ottomans placed in the shadows about the room, hums the latest popular airs, glances through tho elegantly illustrated'^books on the center table, takes out his cigar case, and wishes he dared to'light one. Then he repeats Mariana's refrain, "I am aweary, aweary," but before he can wish that he "were dead" the clock astonishes him by striking the half hour. The "one minute" has grown into thirty.

If he is intimate enough with the family to allow the privilege' he steps into the hall and from the stair foot c*lls up, saying. Miss Mary, I venture to sug. gest that—" Before he completes the sentence, a sweet, chirrupy. delicious voice interrupts him with, "Yes, ye* don't be impatient I'll be ready in a minute."

Back he goes to the parlor. He resigns himself to a heated melancholy. He begins to calculate how many seconds it takes to make a woman's minute. Comes to the conclusion that too much brain work is required for the problem. Inwardly he bangs Mis* Mary, and marvels at his folly in asking a girl to go anywhere. Her hat is never in reach, but covered up in a box somewhere in her wardrobe. If her coat only hang in the halt there would be hope* of her getting iton in a minute^ but it is folded away on some shelf. Her gloves are laid out in a aatln sachel, and to get herself together takes prodigious time.

By the time she does get down, if ber escort does not look as though he tad been eating persimmons, ana does tiot jerk out monosyllabic replies, there is nomething constitutionally right about him ahd the angels should have claimed him long ago! A man that would excuse her would be one whom the gods love and die young.

"The public speaker of the present day labor* under difllculties of which the speakers of the last century never dreained, for while the audiences of the past received what was said without question, those of the present day are usually the mental equals or superiors of the ones who address them. Kev. Dr Tyng, of New York, when a theological student, supplied a church in a neigh boring town, and on his way to preach one mornintf met an aged colored man 'Well Uncle, do you ever go to hear the young preacher?' asked the unfledged doctor. *No, Massa,' replied the negro, di8 chilp don't let none o' dem students practis on him.' The darkey had begun to think. The free and Independent thought ol this age accepts statements only where they are proven to be truth, while the development of mental power seems equally great in every other de^ partment of life. The valuable inventions of the day are counted by tbous« andt. The increase of scientific study Is universal. The spirit of Inquiry in all fields is so marked as to cause

COMMENT ON EVERY SIDE,

while people seem investigating and •advancing in every direction which can help them morally, mentally or physically. This is specially true of the human body and everything which concerns it, and the truths which the people have found, even in the last fifty years, are simply marvelous. How really ignorant some cultured and supposeably scientificpeople were only a few year* ago, aa compared with the present day, may be better understood from a few illustrative facts. A prominent writer prepared an elaborate essay to prove that steam ships could never oross the Atlantic, and his pamphlet was issued just in time to be carried by the first steamer that went to England. People once believed that the heart was the seat of life and health. It is now known that this organ is only a pump, simply keeping in motion what other tmd more important organs of the body have created and transformed. It.was once supposed that if a person felt a pain in the back, the liver was deranged if a pain came in the lower ohest the lungs irere affected ahd eonsumptinn was near It is now known that a pain in the back indicates diseased kidueys while, troubles in the lower ehest arise from a disordered liver and notimperfeet lungs. A severe pain in the head was once thought to come from some partial derangement of the brain It is now known that troubles in other part* or the body and away from the the head, cause headaches and that only by removing the cause can the pain be cured*' Itis a matter of

PRIVATK HISTORY

that Gen. Waahington was bled to death. His last illness was slight, aud caused principally by weariness. A physician was called who 'bled him copiously.' Strange to say, the patient became no better. Another doctor was called, who agairi took away a large amount of the vital fluid. Thus in succession four physicians drew away the life of a great mau who was intended by nature for an old age, and who prematurely died— murdered by malpractice—bled to death. That was the age of medical bleeding

The speaker then graphically described another period which came upon the people, in which the^ assigned the origin of all diseases to the stomach, end after showing the falsity of this theor*" and that the kidneys and liver were I causes of disease, and that many peoj. are suffering from kidnev and liver troubles to-day who do not know it, but who should know it and attend to them at once, continued: "Let us look at this matter a little closely. The human body is the most perfect and yet the most delicate of all created things. It is capable of the great

est

results and it is liable to the greatest disorders. The slightest causes sometimes seem to throw its delicate machinery out of order while the most simple and common sense care reatores and keeps them in perfect condition. Wben itis remembered that the amount of happiness or misery we are to have in this rld is dependent upon a perfect body, is it not strange that simple precautions and care are not exercised? This is one of the most vital questions of life. People may avoid It lor the present, but there is certain to come a time in every one'* experience when It must be fimifl* "And here pardon me for relating a little personal experience. In the year 1870 I found myself losing both in strength and health. leould assign no cause tor the decline, but it continued, until finally I called to my aid two prominent physicians.
