sends her home at night weak, neuralgic, un

Queens are all such, and whether the world

edges them. When Scarron. the wit and

The longer I live the more I admire goes!
womanhood. And I have come to form my
opinion of the character of a inan by his ap
hrcciation or non-appreciation of woman
If a man has a depressed idea of womanly
character he is a bad man. and there is no ;
exception to this rule. Tho writings of Goethe
can never have any -uch attractions for me as !
Shakespeare, be a use nearly all the womanly
characters of tlie great German have some
kind of turpitude. There is his Mariana
with her clandestine scheming, and his
Mignon of evil parentage, vet worse than !
her ancestors, and his Theresa the brazen, i
and his Aurelia of many intrigues, and his
Philina the termagant, and his Melina the |
tarnish® 1. and his Baroness, and His Count
ess. and there is seldom a womanly charac
ter in all his voluminous writings
that would be Worthy of residence in
a respectable coal cellar, yet pict
ured, and dramatize 1. and emblazoned
till all tho literary world is . compelled to See.
Xo, no! Give me William Shakespeare's idea
of woman; an l ! see it in liesdemona, and
Cordelia, and Rosalind, and Imogen, and
He'ena, and Hernrone. and Viola, and Isa
bella, and Sylvia, and Perdita, all of them
with enough faults to prove them human,
bnt enough kindly characteristics to give ui
the author’s idea of womanhood, his Lady
Macbeth only a dark background to bring
mt the supreme loveliness of iiis other female
characters.
Oh, worn in of Ameri a! rise to your op
portunity. Be no siav_ Lo p; i !o, or worldli
ness, o>' sin. Why ever craw! in the dust
•vhon you can mount a tliroiiH Be queens
unto God forever. Hail Vashti!
Again: 1 want you to consider Vashti the
veile 1. Had .she npiieare 1 be!'ore Ahnshi.erus
and h's court on tliatday, with her face un
covered, she would have shocked all the deli
cacies of Oriental s oiety, mid tho vorv men
who in their intoxi ntim den ind ;d that she
come, in their sober moments would h ive
tespised livr. As some flowers see nto thrive
best in the dark lane and in the shadow, and
where the s m does not seem to reni h t!i -m.
so God appoints to most womanly natures
a retiring and unobtrusive spirit. Gol
on e in a while does call an Isabella
to a throne, or a Miriam to strike the tim
brel at the front of a host, or a Marie An
toinette t > quell a French mob, ora Deborah
to stand at the front of an armed battalion,
crying out: “Up! up! This is the dfiy hi
which the Lord wdl deliver Bisera into thy
hands.” And when women are called to such
outdoor work, and to such heroic positions,
God prepares them for it: and thev have iron
in their soul, and lightnings in tiieif cu e, and
whirlwindsin their breath, an l the borrowed
strength Cl tho Lord Omnipotent in their
right arm. They walk through furnaces as
though they were hedges of wild flowers, anl
cross seas as though thev were shimmering
sapphire, and all “the harpies oi
hell sink down to their dungeons at
tho stamp of their womanly indigna
tion. But these arc exceptions. ‘ Generally
Dorcas wotild YAthel' make A garment for the
poor bCy; Rebecca would rather fill the
trough for the camels; Hannah would rather
make a coat for Samuel; the Hebrew maid
would rather give a prescription fov Neu
man's Leprosy; the woman of Sareptn would
rather gather a few sticks to cook a, meal for
famished Elijah; Phoefca would rather carry
a letter for the inspired Apostle: Mother Lois
would rather educate Timothy in the Script
ures. \\ hen 1 sec a woman going about her
daily duty—with cheerful dignity presiding
it the table; with kind and gentle, but
Brm, discipline presiding in the hurs
sry, going out into the world with
out any blast of trumpets, following
in the footsteps of him who went
about doing good—l say: “This is Vashti
with a veil on.” But when I see a woman
of unblushing boldness, loud voiced, with e
tongue of infinite clitter clatter, with arro
gant look, passing through the street* with a
masculine siting, gayly arrayed in a very
hurricane of millinery. I erv out: “Vashti
has lost her veil?” When I see a woman
struggling for political preferment, and re
jecting the duties of home as insignificant,
and thinking the offices of wife, mother and
daughter of no importance, and trying to
force her way up ou into conspicuity, I say:
“Ah, what a pity! Vashti has lost her veil!’ 1
When I see a woman of comely features,
and of adroitness of intellect, and eii
dowed With all that the schools can
do for One, and Of the high social
position, yet moving in Society with super
ciliousness And hauteur, as though she would
have people know their place, and an unde
fined combination of giggle, and strut, and
rodomontade, endowed with allopathic quan
tities of talk, but only homceopathic infintesi
rnalsof sense, the terror of dry goods clerks
and railroad conductors, discoverers of sig
nificant meanings in plain conversation,
prodigies of badinage and innuendo—l say:
“Vashti ha?, lost her veil.”
But do not misinterpret what I say into a
depreciation Of the work of these glorious
and divinely called women who will not be
understood till after they are dead, women
like Susan B. Anthony, who are giving th:ir
life for the improvement of the condition of
their sex. Those of you that think that
women have under the laws of this country
an equal chance with men are ignorant of
the laws, A gentleman writes me from
Maryland, saying: Take the laws of this
state. A man and wife start out in life full
of hope in every respect: by their joint effort s
and, as is frequently the case, through th;
economic ideas of the wife, succeed in ec
cumulating a fortune, but they have nc
children; they reach old age together, and
then the husband dies. What does the law
of this State do then's It says to the widow;
‘‘Hands off your late liusbau i’s property; dc
uot touch it; the State will fin 1 others tc
whom it will give that; but you, the widow,
must not touch it, only so much as will keep
life within yollr aged body, that you may
live to see thoso others enjoy v. hat rightfully
should be your ow.i.’’ And the Star - seeks
the relatives of the deceased human 1, whether
they lie near or far, whether they were ever
heard of before or not, and transfers to them,
singly or collectively, the estate of the de
ceased husban 1 and livinr widow.
Now, that is a specimen of unjust laws in
all the states eoneerniug womanhood. In
stead of flying off to the discussion as U
whether or not the giving of the right of
voting to woman will correct these laws, lot
mesaytoraen.be gallant enough, and fair
enough, and honest enough, and righteous
enough, and God loving enough to oorre t
thes- wrongs against women by your own
masculine vote. Po not wait for v oman
suffrage to come, if it ever does eor.o. but s<
far as you can touch ballot boxes, an 1 Leris
latures and Congresses begin the reforms
tion But until justice is done to woman
hv the laws of all the States, let the women of
America take the platforms and the pulpits,
an 1 no honorable man will charge Vashti
with having lost her veih
Again: I want you this morning to con

The philosopher, coriff leut iu bis riewly dis

more intelligent generations, willing that
men should laugh at the lightning rod,
and cotton gin and steam! oat—waiting for
long years through the scoffing of philo
sophical schools, in grand and magnificent
silence. Galileo, condemned by mathema
ticians,anil monks, and cardinals, caricatured
everywhere, yet waiting and watching with
his telescope to see the coming up of stellar
re enforcements, when the stars in their
courses would fight for the Copernican sys
tem: then si ting down in complete blindness
and deafness to wait for the coming of the
generations who would bud 1 his monument
and bow at his grave. The reformer, exe

going on board he found that the captain

the lookout were frozen in their places. That
was awful, lu. magnificent. All the Ar*ik
blasts an l a!l ths icebergs could not drive
them from tlivir duty. Their silence was
louder than thunder. And this okl ship of a
world has ninny at their posts in tho awful
chill of neglect, and frozen of the world’s
scorn, and their silence shall be the eulogy
of the skies, and be rriwarde l loiig after this
weather-beaten craft of a planet shall have
made its last voyage.
I thank God that the mightest influences
are the most silent. The fires in a furnace of
a factory, or of a steamship, roar though
they only move a few shuttles or a few
thousand tons, but the sun that warms a
world rises aad set; without a crackle, or
faintest sound. Travelers visiting Mount
-Etna, having heard of tho glories of sunrise
on that pe:k, went up to spend the night
there and see the sun rise next morning, bv.c
when it came up it was so far behind th-ir
anticipations they ictually hissed it. Tbs
mightiest influences to-day are like the
planetary system—completely silent. Don't
hiss the sun!
Q, woman! does not this story of Vashti
the queen, Vashti the veiled, Vashti the sac
rifice, Vashti the silent, move your soul?
My sermon converges into the one absorbing
hope that none of you niay be shut out of the
palace gate of heaven. You can endure the
hardships, and the privations, and the
cruelties, and the misfortunes of this life, if
you can only gain admission there. Through
he blood of tho everlasting covenant you
go through those gates, or never go at all.
When Rome was besieged the daughter of
its ruler saw the golden bracelets-on the left
arms of the en -my, and she sent word to them
that she would betray her city and surrender
it to them if they would only give her those
bracelets ou their left arms. They accepted
the proffer, and by night this daughter of
the ruler ot the city opened one of the gates.
The army entered, and keeping their
promise, threw upon her their bracelets,
and also their shields, and under the great
weight she died. Alas, that all through the
ages the same folly has been repeated, and
for the trinkets and glittering treas
ures of this world men and women
swing open the portals of their immortal
soul for an everlasting surrender, and die .

Romance of tlie Cheese.
Miss Lillian Ray, a bright, handsome
and vivacious Briton of the gentler sex,
just from the mother country, spent the
fore part of the week in the village cf
Springville. Hereon hangs a romance.
Some two years ago a young man, now
a student of the Springville high school
—a line young man, by the way, and a
diligent student—was stirring curds in
an Ashford cheese factory. Knowing
that the products of the factory went
directly to Europe, aud feeling a enrios
ty to know under what skies his beauti
clieeses were cut and who the consumers
were, he corked up in a dainty bottle a
message requesting the finder to -write
him at Ashford. and put the bottle into
the curds, which were pressed, cured
and in due time sent to Liverpool.
Weeks passed and no return. The
tender grass in the pastures grew wiry
and tough, the nipping frosts had brown
ed the fields, and the milk yield was
sadly waning, when one day in October
the answer came. How it gladdened the
heart o' the long-waiting artist in curds
and sonnets ! The message came from
York, England. It was written by a
young lady of that place who found the
bottle in the cheese, and at first t-ook it
to be a Fenian bomb. A regular corres
pondence followed between the parties,
Later on the lady “crossed the seas” to
make an American tour, and she met
i in the breezy city of Buffalo according
i to appointment, for the first time in her
i life, the hero of the cheese episode. The
j lady went to Springville with her friend,
and is the English guest spoken of
above.
The question which acritates the town
now is. What will come of it i
Tee falling days lia,ve come again,
The iciest of me year.

THE JEY LIND COSCEBTS.
Ax* Interesting Reminiscence Re
lated Ky a Veteran.
All the concerts were of uniform excel
lence, and the Easy Chair is a compe
tent witness, at least so far as attend
ance is concerned, for it heard all of the
LG>d concerts in New York except the
first. Dar-rng the second season an un
known name appeared one evening up
on the bill, widen announced that Mr.
Otto Goldschmidt, a young tfhc? un
known pianist, would play for the first
time in this country. Tripler Hall, op
posite Bond street, upon Broadway,
was crowded ae usual, an l when Jenny
Lind had withdrawn after singing one of
her “numbers,” a slight, dark-haired
youth cam’s uprin the gfage and seated
himself at the pLrn’o. Be was courte
ously greeted, and just as ce was about
to begin the door opened quietly at the
back of the stage and Jenuy Lind 6toocf
in full view of the audience tranquilly
to listen. At a happy point of the per
formance she clapped heartily, and the
whole hott?e. following its lovely leader,
burst into a stoYtn of applause. The
young man bowed tu the audience and
to “Miss Lind,” and, as he elided* with
more baud clapping and a bright hnd
kindly smile Jenny Lind vanished,
having secured the success of Mr.
Otto Goldschmidt It was a pret
ty scene. Perhaps the pruna donna
assoluta recalled the famous brava-a
a-a of Lablanche on her fkgt_syening at
her Majesty’s Opera House in London,
which satisfied England that she was a
great singer, and confirmed her career.
To the audience her friendly interest
seemed the impulse of a kindly heart
for a young neophyte in this profession.
Perhaps to Mt. Otto Goldschmidt it was
something more. The series of Ameri
can concerts which began on the 11th
of September, 1850, at Castle Garden,
ended on the same place on the 24th of
May, 1852. The vast space was not
well suited for singing, but the magnifi
cent voice filled it completely, and in
the fascinated silence erf the immense
throng every exquisite noteof the singer
could bo heard. She sang with evident
feeling, and with responsive tenderness
her audience listened. Every time she
appeared she carried a fresh bouquet,
the sight of which gladdened some
ardent young heart. But when at last
she appeared to sing the farewell to
America, for which Goldschmidt had
composed the music, she bore in Iter
hand a bouquet of white rosebuds, with
a maltose cross of deep carnations in the
centre. This she held for the last time
when she sang in public in America, and
the young traveler who, five years be
fore, had turned aside at Dresden to
hear Jenny Lind in Berlin, alone iu all
that great audience at Castle Garden
knew who had sent those flowers.— Geo.
William Curtis in Harper’s Magazine.

Tbe Life of n Buffalo Girl In India.
Mies Mary Gtaybieh one of the mis
Sidnafitsa sustained in India by the sect j
known as Disciples, wi nes very interest- j
ing letters to her family in this city. It !
is now over four years since she went
to Hindustan, in company witii the Rev.
Air. Wharton, formerly pastor of 5-the
Church of Christ, and his wife. The
place at which Miss Graybiel is now lo
cated is iu tiie heart <sf India, on the
line of the railroad which is to be built
from Ri—Lav across to (Ylcutta. The
child 'o Sunday sljools of the
...”
tnbuted a fund of some fwtir thousand
dollars with which to erect a house for
this mission, and in her last letter she
modestly tells how the Work was done.
It appeared that aheliad to serve as
architect, master builder and general
boss mechanic. First, she bought four
yoke of buffaloes to do the teaming; then
a few big trees; they are very scarce in
that part of tho country. She employed
a hundred natives, or nearly that num
ber, whbm she taught to quarry the
stone, which had to be hauled several
miles, and to make brick, first tramping
the clay, fashioning it into bricks, and
burning them, using the spare por
tions of the trees for fuel. The trunk
of the trees were laboriously by hand
sawed into boards for the floors, roof,
etc. A stone foundation three feet thick
was laid three feet belotv ground and as
much above, this solid base wall being
deemed necessary to keep out the white
ants, which are a great pest to the coun
try. Evidently a good job was made of
the wall, for Miss Graybiel ingenuously
relates that an Englishman visitor in
quired who had been the engineer, and
expressed much surprise when told that
6he had directed the work herself.
It takes a Buffalo girl to hold her own
among the heathen, or anywhere else.
Incidentally Miss Graybiel states that
the son of a German missionary living
some forty miles distant was killed by a
tiger. She attended the funeral, making
the journey through the solid jungle in
a cart drawn by a pair of buffaloes,
with the chance"of being sprung upon by
that or some other tiger at any moment.
Such is life in the wilds of Hindostan.—
Bufialo Courier.
The Porver of Language.
“And so Tom has got home from
college, Mr. Bighee? I understand he
is quite a linguist?”
“He’s the boss linguist,” remarked
o’d Bigbee, but not proudly; “he lingers
down town till two o’clock in the morn
ing, and he lingers in bed tili noon, and
he lingers at the tabled long after
everyone else lias gone away foundered,
and there’s going to be a reform in this
linguist business or you’ll hear of a
case of fejo-de-se in this family by wear
ing of a young man out with a hickory
gad,” and the old man looked x-esolute,
then melted into thoughtfulness, and
said that was the first Greek he had
used in thirty years, since he clerked in
a drug store and studied the old masters
on the bottles and iars. — Burdette.
