There Arc Dangerous Aluromonts or Trap : * Tlmt Blugt Kvor Bo Avoided "SIio Shall Bo Called AVomau" Gen. II : 23. God , who can make no mistake , made man and woman for a specific work and to move in particular spheres man to be regnant in his realm ; woman to be dominant in hers. The boundary line between Italy and Switzerland , ' between England and Scotland , is not more thoroughly marked than this distinction between the empire masculine and the empire feminine. So entirely dissimilar are the fields to which God called them , that you can no more compare them than you can oxygen and hydrogen , water and grass , trees and stars. All this valk about the superiority of one sex to the other is an everlasting waste of ink and speech. A jeweler may have a scale so delicate that he can weigh the dust of diamonds ; but where are the scales so delicate that you can weigh in them affection against affection , sentiment against sentiment , thought against thought , soul against soul , a man's world against a woman's world ? You come out with your stereotyped remark that a man is superior to woman in intel lect ; and then I open on my desk the swarthy , irontyped , thunder-bolted * writings of Harriet Martineau and Elizabeth Browning and George Eliot. You come on with your stereotyped re mark about woman's superiority to man in the item of affection ; but I ask you where was there more capacity to love than in John the disciple and Matthew Simpson the bishop and Hen ry Martyn , the missionary ? The heart of those men was so large , that after you had rolled it Into two hemispheres , there was room still left to marshal the hosts of heaven , and set up the throne of the eternal Jehovah. I deny to man the throne intellectual. I deny to woman the throne affectional. No human phraseology will ever decline the spheres ; while there is an Intui tion by which we know when a man is in his realm , and when a woman is in her realm , and when either of them is out of it. No bungling legis lature ought to attempt to make a defi nition , or to say : "This is the line and that is the line. " My theory is , that if a woman wants to vote she ought to vote , and that if a man wants to em broider and keep house , he ought to be allowed to embroider and keep house. There are masculine women and there are effeminate men. My theory is that you have no right to in terfere with any one's doing anything that is righteous. Albany and Wash ington might as well decree by legis lation how a brown-thresher should fly , or how deep a trout should plunge , as to try to seek out the height and depth of woman's duty. The question of caprlcity will settle finally the whole question , the whole subject. When a woman is prepared to preach , she will preach , and neither conference nor presbytery can hlnedr her. When a woman is prepared to move in high est commercial spheres , she will have gerat Influence on exchange , and no boards of trade can hinder her. I want woman to understand that heart and brain can overfly any barrier that politicians may sot up , and that noth ing can keep her back or keep her down but the question of incapacity. My chief anxiety is , not that woman have other rights accorded her ; but that she , by the grace of God , rise up to the appreciation of the glorious rights she already possesses. First , she has the right to make home happy. That realm no one has ever disputed with her. Men may come home at noon or at night , and then tarry a com paratively little while ; but she all day long governs it , beautifies it , sancti fies it. It Is within her power to make it the most attractive place on earth. It is the only calm harbor in the world. You know as well as I do , that this outside world and the business world are a long scene of jostle and contention. The man who has a dollar struggles to keep it ; the man who has it not struggles to get it. Prices up. Prices down. Losses. Gains. Misrepre sentations. Underselling. Buyers de preciating ; salesmen exaggerating. Tenants seeking less rent ; landlords demanding more. Struggles about of fice. Men who are in trying to keep in ; men out trying to get In. Slips. Tumbles. Defalcations. Panics. Ca tastrophes. Oh , woman ! thank God you have a home and that you may be queen in it Better be there than wear a Victoria's coronet. Better be there Lhan carry the purse of a princess. Your abode may be humble , but you can , by your faith in God , and your cheerfulness of demeanor , gild it with splendors such as an upholsterer's hand never yet kindled. There are abodes in every city humble , two stories ; four plain , unpapered rooms ; undesirable neighborhood ; and yet there is a man who would die on the threshold rather than surrender. Why ? It is home. Whenever he thinks of it he sees angels of God hovering about it. The ladders of heaven are et down to that house. Over the child's rough crib there are the chant- ngs of angels that broke over Beth- ehem. It is home. These children may come up after awhile , and they may win high position , and they may have an affluent residence ; but they will not until their dying day forget that humble roof , under which their father rested , and their mother sang , and their sisters played. Oh , if you would gather up all tender memories , all the lights and shades of the heart , all banquetings and reunions , all filial , fraternal , paternal and conjugal affec tions , and you had only just four letters with which to spell out that height , and depth , and length , and breadth , and magnitude , and eternity of mean ing , you would , with streaming eyes , and trembling voice , and agitated handwrite it out in those four living capitals , H-O-M-E. When you want to get your grandest Idea of a queen , you do not think of Catherine of Russia , or of Anne of England , or of Marie Theresa of Ger many ; but when you want to get your grandest Idea of a queen , .you think of the plain woman who sat opposite your father at the table , or walked with him arm-in-arm down life's pathway ; sometimes to the thanksgiving ban quet , sometimes to the grave , but al ways together soothing your petty griefs , correcting your childish way wardness , joining in your infantile sports , listening to your evening prayers , toiling for you with needle or at the spinning wheel , and on cold nights wrapping you up snug and warm. And then at last on that day when she lay in the back room dying and you saw her take those thin hands with which she had toiled for you so long , and- * put them together in a dy ing prayer that commended you to the God whom she had taught you to trust Oh , she was the queen ! The chariots of God came down to fetch her ; and as she went up all heaven rose up. You cannot think of her now without a rush of tenderness that stirs the deep foundations of your soul , and you feel as much a child again as when you cried on her lap ; and if you could bring her back again to speak just once more your name , as tenderly as she used to speak it , you would be will ing to throw yourself on the ground and kiss the sod that covers her , cry ing : "Mother ! mother ! " Ah , she was the queen she was the queen ! Now , can you tell me how many thousand miles a woman like that would have to travel down before she got to the bal lot box ? Compared with this work of training kings and queens for God and eternity , how insignificant seems all this work of voting for alderman and common councilmen , and sheriffs , " and constables , and mayors , and presi dents ! To make one such grand wom an as I have described , how many thousands would you want of those people who go in the round of fashion and dissipation , going as far toward disgraceful apparel as they dare go , so as not to be arrested by the police their behavior a sorrow to the good and a carricature to the vicious , and an insult to that God who made them women and not gorgons , and tramping on , down through a frivolous and dis sipated life , to temporal and eternal damnation. Oh , woman , with the lightning of your soul , strike dead at your feet all these allurements to dissipation and to fashion. Your immortal soul can not be fed on such garbage. God calls you up to empire and dominion. Will you have it ? Oh , give God your heart , give to God all your best energies ; give to God all your culture ; give to God all your refinement ; give your self to him for this world and the next. Soon all these bright eyes will be quenched , and these voices will be hushed. For the lapt time you will look upon this fair 2arth. Father's hand , mother's hand , sister's hand will no longer be in yc/ars. It will be night , and there will come up a cold wind from the Jordan , and you will start. Will it be a lone woman on a trackless moor ? Ah , no ! Jesus will come up in that hour and offer his hand , and he will say : "You stood by me when you were well ; now I will not desert you when you are sick. " One wave of his hand , and the storm will drop ; and another wave of his hand and midnight will break into midnoon ; aud another wave of his hand and the chamberlains of God will come down from the treasure-hcuses of heaven , with robes lustrous , blood-washed and heaven-glinted , in which you will array yourself for the marriage supper of the Lamb. And then with Marlani , who struck the timbrel of the Red sea ; and with Deborah , who led the Lord's host into the fight ; and with Hannah , who gave her Samuel to the Lord ; and with Mary who rocked Jesus to sleep while there were angels singing in the air ; and with the sisters of charity , who bound up the battle-wounds of the Crimea , you will , from the challice of God , drink to the soul's eternal res cue. cue.Your Your dominion is home , O woman ! What a brave fight for home the women of Ohio made some ten or fif teen years ago , when they banded to gether and in many of the towns and cities of that state marched in proces sion , and by prayer and Christian songs shut up more places of dissi pation than were ever counted. Were they opened again ? Oh , yes. But is It not a good thing to shut up the gates of hell for two or three months ? It seemed that men engaged in the business of destroying others did not know how to cope with this kind of warfare. They knew how to fight the Maine liquor law , and they knew how to fight the National Temperance so ciety , and they knew how to fight the Sons of Temperance and Good Samari tans ; but when Deborah appeared upon thecene : , Sisera took to his feet and got to the moun tains. It seems that they did not know how to contend against "Coronation , " and "Old Hundred , " and "Brattle Street , " and "Bethany , " they were so very intangible. These men found they could not accomplish much against that kind of warfare , and In one of the cities a regiment was brought out all armed to disperse the women. They came down in battle array ; but oh , what poor success ! for that regiment was made up of gentle men , and gentlemen do not like to shoot women with hymn books in their hands. Oh , they found that gunning for female prayer-meetings was a very poor business ! . No real damage was done , although there was threat of violence after threat of violence all over the land. I really think if the women of the east had as much faith in God as their sisters of the west had , and the same recklessness of human criticism , I really bolleve that in one month three-fourths of the grog-shops of our cities would be closed , and there would be running through the gutters of the streets Burgundy , and Cognac , and Heidsieck , and old Port , and Schie dam Schnapps , and lager beer , and you would save your fathers , and your hus bands , and your sons , first , from a drunkard's grave , and second , from a drunkard's hell ! To this battle for home let all women rouse themselves. Thank God for our early home. Thank God for our present home. Thank God for the coming home In heaven. One twilight , after I had been play ing with the children for some time. I lay down on the lounge to rest. The children said , play more. Children al ways want to play more. And , half asleep and half awake , I seemed to dream this dream : It seemed to me that I was in a far-distant land not in Persia , although more than oriental luxuriance crowned the cities ; nor the tropics although more than trop ical fruitfulness filled the gardens ; nor in Italy although more than Italian softness filled the air. And I wandered around , looking for thorns and nettles , but I found none of them giew there. And I walked forth , and I saw the sun rise , and I said : "When will it set again ? " and the sun sank not. And I saw the people in holiday apparel , and I said : "When do they put on workingman's garb again , and delve in the mine , and swelter at the forge ? " but neither the garments nor the robes did they put off. And I wandered in the suburbs , and I said : "Where do they bury the dead of this great city ? " and I looked along by the hills where it jvould be most beautiful for the dead to sleep , and I saw castles and towns and battlements ; but not a mausoleum nor monument nor white slab could I see. And I went into the great chapel of the town and 1 said : "Where do the poor worship ? where are the benches on which they sit ? " and a voice answered : "We have no poor in this great city. " And I wandered out , seeking to find the place where were the hovels of the destitute ; and I found mansions of amber and Ivory and 'gold , but no tear did 1 see or sigh hear. I was bewildered , and 1 sat under the shadow of a great tree , and I said : "What am I , and whence comes all this ? " And at that moment there came from among the leaves , skipping up the flowery paths and across the sparkling waters , a very bright and sparkling group ; and when I saw their step I knew it , and when I heard their voices I thought I knew them ; but their apparel was so dif ferent from anything I had ever seen , I bowed a stranger to strangers. But after awhile , when they had clapped their hands and shouted : "Welcome ! welcome ! " the mystery was solved , and I saw that time had passed and eternity had come , and that God had gathered us up into a higher home ; and I said : "Are we all here ? " and the voices of innumerable generations answered : "All here ; " and while tears of glad ness were raining down our cheeks , and the branches of Lebanon cedars were clapping their hands , and the towers of the great city were chiming their welcome , we began to laugh , and sing , and leap , and shout : "Home ! home ! home ! " And then I felt a child's hand on my face , and it woke me up. The children wanted more play. Children always want to play more. STRANGE PROPHECIES. Molay , the Grand Master of the Tem plars , Predicted Truly. Clement V. and Philip IV. procured the condemnation of Molay , the grand master of the templars , to the stake , says Chamber's Journal. As he was led to execution Molay cited his perse cutors to appear before God's throne , the king within forty weeks and the pope within forty days. Within these respective times both died. Rienzi , the last of the tribunes , condemned to death Fra Moriale. When he pro nounced the sentence the culprit sum moned the judge to meet death him self within the month , and within the month Rienzi was assassinated. In 1575 Nanning Koppezoon , a Roman catholic , tortured to death during the religious strife in the Netherlands , re canted his extorted confession when on the way to the scaffold. A clergy man , Jurian Epeszoon , tried to drown his voice by clamorous prayer. The victim summoned him to meet him within three days at the bar of God , and Epeszoon went home and died within that time. While at the stake Wishart openly denounced Cardinal Beaten : "He shall be brought low , even to the ground , before the trees which have supplied these fagots have shed their leaves. " The trees were but in the bravery of their May foliage when the bleeding body of the cardi nal was hung by his murderers over the battlements of St. Andrew's. Good Fortune. The following story is classed under "True Animal Stories , " but is really a fish story : Not long ago a hawk caught a fish in Long Island Sound , but while flying with it to the woods to devour it at leisure , the fish floun dered from the hawk's hold and dropped into a farmer's yard , where a big mastiff was sitting. The dog caught the fish as it came down , and the hawk swooped after it , but the dog turned and ran into the house , placing his trophy , yet alive , at the feet of his mistress. It proved to be a large bluefish , and it was served up that night to an appreciative family. The dog ever since has been seen to sit in the same place at the same time , evidently impressed with the belief that his good fortune may be repeated. When we pay ? ! a bottle for brandy we are apt to overlook the fact , , says a New York writer , that it in made out of the surplus wine , the cheap , cent- a-quart stuff that nobody but peas ants can stomach.

United States Senator from North Dakota. lion. W. N. Roach , United States St-nator from North Dakota , personally endorses Peruna , the great catarrh cure and tonic. In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Company , at Columbus , Ohio , written from Washington , D. C. , Senator 1 loach says : "Persuaded by a friend , I have used Peruna as a tonic , and / am glad to testify that it has greatly helped me in strength , vigor and appetite. I have been advised by friends that it fs remarkably effica cious as a cure for the almost universal complaint of catarrh. " Senator Roach's home address is Larimorc , North Dakota. Peruna'is not a guess , nor an experiment ; it is Jin iibnolutc , scientific cer tainty. Peruiiu cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna has no substitutes- no rivals. Insist upon having Peruni. Let no one persuade you that some other remedy will do nearly as well. There is no other systematic remedy for catarrh but Peruna.
