There Is Jolly Saxon proverb ,
Hint Is very inm-h like tills ,
iliat n man is Imlf in heaven
When ho hat n woman's kiss.
Hut there's danger In clclavlng
Anil the sweetness may forsake it ;
So 1 tell you , bashful lover ,
If you want a kiss why , take It.
Never li't another fellow
Meal a inarch on jou in Hils :
Never let n iRughlng maiden
See you spoiling for a kiss.
There s a royal way of kissing ,
And the Jolly ones who make it
J I ii\e a motto that is winning :
If jou want a kiss why take it.
Any fool may face a cannon ,
Anybody wear a crown ;
But a man mint win n woman
If ho'd have her for his own.
Woulil you have the golden apple ,
You must lind the tree and .sfuko It ;
If the thin ; Is worth the having ,
And jou want a kiss vsliy , take It.
Who would burn upon si deert
With a forest smiling by ?
\ \ ho would give his sunny summer
For a bleak and wintry skyV
Oil ! 1 tell you there is maulc ,
And you cannot , c.uiuot break It ;
For the sweetest part of lovlnir ,
Is to v ant a kiss and take It.
Women's > ofole Work.
Our relations as regards the lower
classes need a thorough overhauling nntl
miiljiistmunt , said Mrs. Thuniian , J.
Hackus In a recent address to women in
Brooklyn. N. Y. Misunderstandings bo
twueu employer aiul employe are con
stantly arising.Vo .sen alcoliulisin ,
socialism and anarchy gradually imbruit-
ing the spirits of our lower classes , with
nervous debility , poverty of blood , this
blind greed of gain , and short-sighted
indifference to moral and political
responsibility arc depleting the powers
with which five born Americans should
resist tiium. Wu cannot excuse ourselves
on the plea of inability to begin this
great worK. of philanthropic regenera
tion. It has already been inaugurated
liaru and there by noble men and women ,
wiser than their time , who have risked
for its sake their capital and their repu
tation for business sagacity. I wish I
could tell you the details concerning the
improved tenement houses creeled in
Urooklyn in 1877 , in the construction of
which are observed every written and
unwritten law for the safety , comfort and
moral purity of their inmates. They arc
filled the year round , and , though they
house over 1,100 botils , they add not a
feather's weight to the city's burden of
crime. As against these new tenement
houses , erected with every regard fur
the health of the occupants , I would like
to. tell you In detail of the burden of
crime emanating from hundreds of
other common tenement houses , the
p roperty of reputable clti/uns , but where
Ji ilth.degredatlon.crimo and death abound.
if 1 could tell you of the noble work per
formed by the. ladies of New York in an
organization known as the Health Pro
tective association you would not under
estimate the value of the good work
they have done on the east side of the
city among the tenement houses. It
estimated that the saving to the United
States in a year through measures taken
for the prevention of the spread
of contagious diseases is about
three hundred thousand dollars.
The work of sanitary science
clubs Among our college graduates seems
as necessary in our present state of pub
lic Ignonuicu ns is tbo Influx of oxygen
into a gymnasium. To tig as educated
women , as representatives of enlight
ened thought , kindly concessions are
made everywhere , more than overbal
ancing the disadvantages of our youth
and small numbers. The reforms which
we may ussistaro like the great laborsaving -
saving inventions the cotton gin , the
iteam engine , the telegraph their re
sults recommend them. It will bo the
fault of the indiscreet , the too timid in
dividual , if college-bred women do not
make themselves a strong factor in that
great home , missionary untcrprlscwhich
aims by banishing ignorance , thriftless-
ness , avarice , impurity , from our own
homes , by regenerating the heathen who
live in our own cities , to create the trim
Salvation army whose motto. "Mcn.s
Bana'in corporo sane , " may soon , even
within the time of our grandchildren , be
blazoned from polo to polo.
The Mothcr-ln-Ijn\v.
It would certainly seem that if a man
truly and deeply loves his wife ho should
nt bast respect and esteem the woman
who brought her into the world , who
trained her in childhood , watched over
nnd guarded her girlish years , and to
whose loving care and solicitude he must
necessarily pay tribute for making her
the sweet , lovable being who captured
his manly heart , says a writer in the
Toledo Blade. Yet if wo are to believe
the funmakors , tlio mother-in-law ( s the
t opposite oj jiur. iliuurhtpr ja &JL
fic . she is ugly , the wife is beautiful ;
she is cross nnd ill-tempered , the wife
awcet and angelic ; she is everything that
Is detestable , the wife is altogether lov-
ablo. Such a view is not consistent.
Man is : i sollish being , especially when
ho is in love. There are u great many
young men who cannot bear to have
their fiancees or wives admired by other
men without feeling a pang of silly
jealonsy. Such a man wants to l > o
literally the girl's "lord and master. "
She may not look sldowiso at any ono
elsn of the male persuasion , and she is
expected to burn eternal incense on the
altar of his own superlative excellence.
Such men are n thousand times moro ex-
noting than women usually are In this re-
hpcct. We all know the gonus. Thcro
are plenty of specimens everywhere iu
this country.
Given a young husband of such n dis
position , and you may bo certain that ho
will chafe and fret aud fume because ho
finds that hi ? wife is influenced iu the
slightest by her mother. Ho cannot see
that a loving aud dutiful daughter is likely
to bocomi' a loving and dutiful wifo. Ho
fancies hu is deprived of some of the love
and affection that is his tight as n hti3-
l\nd ) ! because his wlfo loves aud respects
her parent not knowing or realizing ,
poor fool , thai It is a different kind of
love , und that the two are not at war
tritli ono another.
There may be n few cases where the
mother in-lawhcnolf , hurt and 3tung by
his conduct , inaugurates a warfare upon
the present son-in-law , but iu the great
, ! majority of cases she sutlers In silence.
That dncp and holy mother-lovo helps
her to acectpt slights and undeserved con
tumely for the sake of her darling daugh
ter. And a fact that must not be lost
sight of , she ifoe.s not got jealous of the
husband because thu wife loves him. Sli
from experience that it takes much love
iluop , strong love on both bides during
the first years of matrimony to enable
two proplo to accommodate themselves
to eaoh other's i > cculiaritiosandyou ; will
find that the hints she drops In her
daughter's ears are always golden , nnd
nlwaya directed to making her u loyal
loving wife.
If there is any fault in most households
It I * the fault of the hutbiuul , not of the
mother-in-law. Lot u * give a ' much
maligned but ijenorslly ncblo nnd aolf-
acruiclnft woman bur Juft due , and
place the. blame , ' if anr ' .nero
fce , . on the houlder ' of id *
man , who. is really tha tinning ono.
And let un have gurdcaso from the ever
lasting llowof pointless jokes and cruel
stabs at the expense of the mother-in-
law. She docs not deserve them. The
man who loves anil honors his wife as a
husband should , must respect and honor
the author of her being. Heaven bless
the mothcr-ln-law.
Hitslncxs Women.
Women who can make money can't
always keep it. Harriet Hosmer chiseled
herself into fame and fortune , invested a
large part of her earning in Kcely
motor stock , and lost it recently. Anna
Dickinson made a large sum as a lec
turer and lost it as a stage manager.
Mrs. Mryan , of Georgia , has charge of
certain cheat ) publications In New fork
at a salary of fU.OOO. Mrs. Ann S. Ste
ven" , at her death a few months ago , left
a handsome fortune of ? : JUO,000 , the re
sult of her literary work and profitable
investments.
Not long ago the secretary and treas
urer of ono ot HID largest street ear lines
in I'itUhurg was taken illnnd his daugh
ter , who had never had any practical
training for \vork.undertook to man
age hk bu-itiess. She kept the books in
good shape , attended to the collection of
money , paid the employes ! , and bought
feed ami stock for the company. Her
father tiled , and she bait done so well hi
her ollieial capacity that the company
thought the best thing to bo done was to
elect the girl to lilt the position per
manently.
'ihertiaro women of surh great busi
ness ability that they have proved them
selves a match for the Tory sharpest
financiers. From Chili comes the report
of one DoiiaCousino who rivals the finan
ciers of all times She is almost as famous -
mous for her charities as. for her btisi-
ness ability. She is ono of the richest
women in the world. At her her hus
band's death he gave her absolute con
trol of his immense wealth , and she has
proved herself a veritable qttcun of
finance , bhe manages her business , ex
hibiting great foresight , breadth of pur-
po-o and a great ability as a manager of
allairs. She lias a power of control that
can direct and liarniomv the different
branches of trade and business iu which
yhe engaged. She has a trained super
intendent for each separate department.
These she has thn tact to pay well , thus
binding thorn to her intercuts , Oil one
farm of vast extent flic has -100 men.
Kvery house in a village of 0,000 or 7,000
is hers , and to the people of this village
and one adjoining .she pays out monthly

\\hy Mrs. Cleveland Is Popular.
Atlanta Constitution : No wonder
everybody loves Mrs. Cleveland. She
makes herself lovable to every ono. Little
May , the fourteen-year old daughter of
Colonel I.V. . Avery , of Georgia , has
been crippled this winter from the effect
of the bite of an insect on ono of her
ankles. Not long ago she wrote a pretty
little note to Mrs. Cleveland , asking her
if she might call quietly some day with
her mother. She stated that her mother
was the descendant of Ben Cleveland , the
hero of King's mountain , and that she
would like very much to meet the wife
of a president of that name. The next
morning caruc a reply from Mrs. Cleve
land cordially inviting the little girl and
her mother to call the next day at noon.
They went and were received by Mrs.
Cleveland in the kindest mvnncr possible.
She took them into her private parlor
and insisted on their fcpling perfectly at
home * Miss May carried with her an
autograph album , the gift of 1'nul Hayno.
She told Mrs. Cleveland she did not al
low any but distinguished persons to
inscribe their names on those pages , and
asked her autograph. Mrs. Cleveland
smiled and wrote a pleasant wish , to
which the appended her graceful sig-
nature.
A Won torn Senator's Wife ,
New York Letter to Philadelphia Press :
There has been a good deal of curiosity
among New York pcoplo regarding the
beauty of Mrs. Governor Davisof Minnesota
seta , whose bus band has just been elected
United States senator , and -about whom
the western people rave as tbo handsom
est woman in the northwest. Mrs. Davis
was out on Fifth avenue recently , and
the ladies on the promenade , a * well as
the men in the club windows craned their
neuks to watoh as she passed by. Shu is
a well formed woman-of little moro than
average height , with a strong and elastic
step , and a fair complexion , rosy cheeks
and lustrous oycs. She is noted at homo
for her skill in horsemanship. She was
attirexl in a walking suit of black velvet ,
corded after the French fashion over the
front of the waist. A French made bat
of the same material gave her a distin
guished appearance , and in contrast to
the black dress was a short collar of
long white fur and a muff of the same ,
which i nn carried in her hands. Senator
Davis greatly res-emblem General lien
Butler , and might easily be mistaken for
a son of the Massachusetts politician.
