her mood and divines with her, the an

bewildered by the rush and ecstacy of

the wail of women, heard from all
quarters, over the agony of unsatisfied
love. In former days, when poets were
rare, did women suffer so? Were they
all like Mariana in the moated grange,

maker ho came not ? or broken-hearted
because, having come, “GocAby, he went away

ful verses, vague in thought and ex¬
travagant in expression ?—Boston Ad¬

A Sew York Preacher.
A New York preacher, in a sermon to
young ladies, repeated a few of the
pungent things that had been said about
their sex. One writer he quoted as the
author of the disrespectful proverb:
“ There were only two good women.
Oue is dead and the other was nevyr
found.” The Chinese say that woman’s
tongue is her sword, and she never lets
it rest. Dr. Pavson wrote: “A wedded
man is like a bird with a broken wing.
He may flutter, but he never can fly.”
Among the Amazonians candidates for

An Outlaw’s Sweetheart.
The robbers used to frequently shoot
at targets iu company with tlieir sweet¬
hearts, in the shooting the girls making
sometimes almost as good a score as ihe
omoa.jind^e one’s lavoiTR) yells that TSTtf , would rend Hu,

bullet on the half dollar as it fell for
ward to the ground would have dene
justice to a border scout. Nor were the
young ladies behind them iu equesfran
ism, Miss Ryan, in particular, often
boasting that she could drop the nickel
as often in the race as any of the boys.
It may be proper here to explain the
modus operandi of the “nickel race.”
A nickel or other small coin is placed in
the forks of a tree, about the distance
from the ground that a man’s shonlder
would be while on horseback. Each
party has one shot at it as he flies by on
bis horse at full speed. The ladies take
their regular turn, and Miss Ryan has
been known to drop the nickel three
times out of five races, and that she is,
indeed, at home iu the saddle is demon
strated by the fact that when alighting
from her favorite horse, a powerful black
charger, she simply rises from the sad¬
die and leaps to the ground, while her
horse walks to the nearest hitchiugqp t tt
to - await its rider. When she is ready to
remount, her intelligent horse come- at
her call, and taking her saddle by the
pummel she bounds into it and is off at
a fastgallop, the only gait she ever rides,
—A'f. Louis Chronicle.
She Fetched Him.
Women sometimes have great pres¬
ence of mind. A jailor’s wife saw that
a prisoner had got between lier husband
and the unlocked door and was going
for it like a Scotch terrier for a rot hole.
She knew she hadn’t the strength to
seize and hold him, and besides lie had
a knife, so she didn’t try. But she
stepped into a side corridor near the head
of a fight of stairs the prisoner had got
to descend, yanked off her hoopskirt,
and, as he passed, flung it before him.
The way he turned handsprings and
somersaults down those stairs was a cau¬
tion to cats, and bis frantic struggles
after he reached the bottom would have
attracted folks from a dog fight. When
the jailor came up, the fellow had got
himself so entangled that he was abso¬
lutely helpless, was doubled up in terri¬
bly uncomfortable ways and was chok¬
ing to death, and so completely wound
up that the jailor had to cut him out
with a hatchet, and it took half a yard of
court plaster and comfortable a pint of arnica to
make him at all .—Boston
