In order to trace up the origin and

I’he first woman was Mrs. Adam, who
was made out ot a rib, ami women have
been ribboned tver *iu?e. ((Joak). —

thaj day to tliis. Mrs. Adam id to

ir.Jtcr were in lavorof woman’s rights,
anu were noted women. But let us
look 3t the women of our own time,
see what they have done pro bpno
j publico.
! There’s Mr' P, of New York, who
wore £30,000 worth of diamonds at
the opening of an opera house, the
other evening; and Madtme (»., who
wr»r vBO.OOO north ,*n he same urea”
Mon. Ain’t tiiey women of worth t
Thpn the.-e are others who are not
worth so much, as the following, item
from a flFwspaper in mbral Boston
shows ;
‘Qiilp stw- a mi!lir:<*r*s plarard in

Ti ose paraeraj-hs however. I find ol'
careful inspoetiun, ti» refer to a portion
ol a iady ’s wardi tbe; a matter that
have never looked into !
There are women who haven’t the
diamonds, but are jewels in themselves.
“ A woman should be like an opal, a
man like a diamond.” An opal con
ceals its hit s, its soul, and you only
know that it has one by its ever chang
ing colors. Its delicate pi,ik« and greys,
and rose? and lillacs, and pearl tints,
are oniv so many expressions of the
<-,pjrtt within, and the charm would be
lost, utterly lost, if it blazed forth.—
ft would then be intellectual instead of
intelligent, and ftiicif tl, and spiritual,
and capricious, and versatile, and new •
always new: now seeming so delicate
as to be dimmed by a breath, and anon
giving glimpses, bfit still veiled glimp
ses, ol a fire as strong as tb it which
burns in the ad immune diamond’s
h - rt. Mv wte is one ol these. ‘She
loved me for the dangers I had p.as-<ui,
and ! loved her becao' 1 I wanted to.*

In tact there tsn t another woman in

She kisses me when I comes home at
night, and she kisses me and borrows
aU my raoney when I leave home in

wh*t you might seriously regard as a
siniie ;o one ot these women. Thev
are not f.stidious enough for ros. 1
may be too particular, but such is mv
bias, #nvway.
However, I keep wandering from nov
subject, to day, somehow. Thu* I) H
uhrieh is not handsome, but it ia iyil ( ,t
interest because of the fact that the prod
igal Son was born and raised here.
His history i? touching and #ugg*-etiv*.
I'r w of your riders hare ever heard of
it. I SUppoSC.
The Prodigal Son and welt in the vil
|;*a,* of Di bunch ages and ages ago.—
Mis parents were very wealthy. Thev
had three hundred goats, twriv*'Camels
some donkeys ant' some horned cattle.
Their mansion w is like the mansion ol
a prince; and from its roof the fuel tow
ered high aloft and filled the soul ofev„
cry man with envy \rt with admira
tion, likewise and even hate, withal.—
In the mansion w ia there not mug lack,
ing; there was a bowl and a spoon and
also a calah ah. Yet were not these
people proud. In that great mansion
was room lor the asses, and room lor
the men. and room for the women-kind
VI! these things were before the prodi.
g.. 1 every day. From the days of his
infancy naught knew lie ho* luxury.—
He had two shirts th»t were his owu—
shirts that hung tar down about the
calves, and caused him to be admired
by maidens and even by the aged and
the prophets. Elsewhere, in all the
coa«t oi Galiilee, was not another swell
like unto him. When he passed by
all men bowed low and said: Behold, t*
•s the rieli min’s son. He wrought not
with his own bauds, Vet every seventh
day lie ale of the broth of goat's meat
ami the luscious milk of as*t*. He
licked not anything that hnrisn hear 1
cou and wish. Bat yet in elr.gant leisure
■ml high living there ij * ha ie that de .
slroyeth happiness, and mafetti the
cheerful spirit :o droop. Wherefore, in
•he fullness of time, tin- Prodigal took
to himself ins share of his lather’s good*
and went away like many other foolish
pdgrims, to travel and see strange lands
that they know naught about, and are
100 stupid to learn.
So he journey < and to a far couurty and
squandered his substance in riotous liv
ing. Strong drink betrayed lon judg
ment, and in liieenJ feel fie a prey to
the revengin? tiger.
I lien went Ite t > the Publican tlist
welcomed him with j»y and gi*d
nes* and said. B.'ho'd thy servant is
naked, and hungry, and penniless, and
like to die with thirst, open thy gate*
l pray the. But the Public: n laughed
him to scorn, and said: Get to honest
labor and put shekels in thy pnree.
So be wrought in the field of» hard
master, and lain would have eaten the
busks wlmr* with he fed the swine. At
last he said: 1 have seen the great world
and it ir deceitful and fraught with sor
row. I will arise and go to rny father
A' and when his father saw non afar off
im ran and toil upon bis neck and kissed
him and ? iid: Bring forth the fatted calf
and kill it, for my son that was last is
found. And he put a garment shout
ins nakedness and shops upo# hie feet,
end a ring npnn h ; s hand, and s*id;
Let cp feast and be nvrry.
Aik* when the Prodigal's brother
j hei-rd tnese thin*;?, bp sjid: I have la*
bored for ton faithfully, vet have vou
never given me a kid to mako merrv
with my iriends. And he liked it no
hute.
I have said before, that a few dnye
sojourn in Syria and Palestine has giv
en to Bible language a newer ..nil fuller
; significance for me than it had before,
j 1 understand toe Prodig.>l, now. They
j killed l!it fatted call lor him on
this most m rnientouf occas.m: that had
ever happened in ir.s father’s family—
showing that to have a fatted csifsirv*
ed, w .i? in al! respects a* grand a thing
as a Champagne bl< w out i* wi;h us to
| day. The present citiz us of P-de«-
| tine would so regard uat the present
I'.rne. It is precious f w of th« m t hat
have got a fatted ( all among their rich.
e« and precious f* w that ever taste so
great a luxury'. I never con hi compre
hend before why the old party, the
Prodigal’s lather laid so much »ires« on
the h:*ted calf. The subject hardly
seemed to me to w arrant such a flourish
•is lie gave to it. It sounds too much
like, Who cares tor expenses? and then
sq cindering forty cents. Hut truly I
preceive tliat the old man came down
to the most gorgeous tunc that was pof
sible to ht? gvsrit.
And the brother complained that l»<*

a.'uld hare a princely revel with bin

They gave the Prodigal “shoes”—
werth a dollar sod « half a thousand,
Mid yetjOiorp indulged in by villagers
who xre inclined to put on a good d-e.»l
of style tha* any ether. And they
clothed the Prodigal. Yet if they gave
him more than one suit it was an event
worth recor ding particularly. The
>eaux of Palestine c m seldom afford
inurh fine raiment. Shirts are a trill*
scarce.
Wh'cn I was io Sunday-fichool I al
ways regarded that Prodigal Son as the
stupidest youth that ever lived, tft go
away from his father’s palace where he
bad a do*c» courses for dinner, and
wore handsome clothes, and fast horse*
and and *gs, and plenty of money to spend
and could go to the circus whenever he
wanted to (l had an idea that this was
a peculiar privilege of rich men’* son*
ail over the world.) and travel off n»
somp atraiife land and get swamped
and have to Iced hogs for a living.—*
But I always rejoice to think he went
back homn again, and l took pleasure
in thinking he must have appreciated
its riches and luxury so unspeakably
then, I could not understand the fatted
calf, but 1 never allowed him to inter*
sere materially with the unities ol my
romance. But my dream is over now.
It was just about art even matter be
tween the Prodigal’s two homes. If
he had had a shirt and something to ***t
when he was feeding svrine the differ*
ence between that place and his old
home would not have paid for th*
trouble of th# journey back again —save
that une was home and thn other whs
not. MARK TWAIN.
A UhIIIBK Mutch.
A correspondent relates the follow
ing laughable story: 1 knew a darkey
once, who, unlike most ot hi* race was
industrious and economical. The re
sult was that he owned a “house and
lot” near a lilt™ village in Pennsylva
nia. He conciued that it wouldn’t do
to oira pioperiy of this kind without
keeping domestic animals on it, and de.
termnied to “stin k"’ it. Ilis first ac
qusition was an old sheep of the male
peisuaston; which he was very fond
of lie spent many leisure moment*
playing with tit* annual and teaching
it various pranks; His chief amuse
ment was to get down on »ll*fou r s arid
nod defiawetj t the animal; seeing which
the animal would make a savage plurjr*
at him, and attempt to try whose head
was the hardest. It was a question.—
Bui as the ravage rreatut* ri me forward
i kc a bhttertngaram. the darkey would
incline his head suddenly and drop hi*
face upon thcearth. The consequent#
was, the vheep missing hta mark, would
tumble over a rod or two. One day
the follow failed in a couple of passing
neighbor* to wanes* his achievement*.
Tney came to toe fence and looked
over, while he got down on hi* band*
knees a* usual and began to nod at hi*
property. The sheep did not seem to
tee him at first, but presently raised it*
head from the grass on which it win
grazing and frowned upon hiui.
“Ob, j is’ watch him now!” said Sam
bo, in glee.
Old br.cky made a rush, as was hi*
wont, and Sambo suddenly dropped his
lace to the ground. But s* the fiends
would have i«, his flat note came m
contact with a small sharp snag he had
not ooverved before, and be jerked
hick just in time to receive the full
shock of the slierp’s head between his
own note and the wool. There wm
such a rolling and tumbling over for i he
n‘*xt quarter of a minute that tbe neigh
bors could not tell which was the sf.sep
and which was the darkey. They
soon got seoersted though, and the
darkey got slowly up, grinning foolish
ly, ind said:
•‘ Pon ;iy word, he nebberdone dat
afore! Geuiti’ too smart for dis nig
ger ! l’se gwine to stop toolin’ vvid
such a lellati as d»t!”
There was plenty of mutton in th*
neighborhood next day. tot the sheep
was never seen again.

, They nnailv decided to burv him
• alive. As they w*re besring him to tho
[ grsve a good Quaker, leaning over hi*
gate, inquired ;
••Friend*, where do you go with that
man!”
••He is too lazv to work, and we are
going to burv him,” they replied.
“Thee ehou’J not do to haid a thing
as that.” replied the Quaker. “Let
i him be idle if he will not work.”
•■But he is siarvmg.”
“ Then 1 will send him «ome ’corn
from my granary.”
Cpon this liberal c.Ter there aesmed
to he no resort hut to let the man io«,
when he turned to the Quaker and in
quired :
••1* it abellcd?”
“No,” replied the Quaker.
••I’ll aeg thee starve first,” respond*
cd the irate disciple of Wm. Penn.
“Carry me cu then,” replied the
vagabond, “I thought you had ne reel
charity in your heat!.”
