Mack i the remote past my slater Amelia and J went to visiting father's sister. One day my aunt said, as sho Urew on her cloves prevaratory: to going down-town, “Now, Chat, I don’t want pu oF nei to tou tint maple-augar up on he top ahelf. while I am gone.’ "What did you say, auntie?” anid. I, not quite tunderstanting where sho aiid It was, “Don't alther of you take nny of that maple. sumar on the top shelf," and abe gianced menn- ingly at a whip that was hanging in ominous {n- Activity over tne looking-giass.”? “No, marr,’ aatd 1; “no, marms wa won't take a bie"; and, seemingly satisfied, abe went ont, aud departed. We crossed to the window, watched until sho turued the corner, and then Amolla “boosted? and I climbed, and {ti flro minutes the maple-suygar was disappearing at the rate of ten pounds an hour. All at onvo Amelia went to the cupboard, put her augar aay, nnd when 1 affectionately inauired what was the matter she said “she was sick"! (porfidions female) and that “she didn’t Ike aucar any way’'; but what made her sick, ns afterwards fearned, waa the fact that my aunt. han come sottly back and was meanly lookin through the crack of the door, and Amelia sat hier, nue did not tell ms becaure eho " oe me one " for punching her doll’s eyes ont the day lore, I (your dupe) sympathized with her, regretted that sho should feel indisposed at so inoppor- tine a time, and, in the infinite kinducas of my heart, ate her Jufap for her, and then washed my faco and bande, combed my hair, and was getting inv Sunday-rchoul lesson when aunt re- turned. Upon entering she immediately asked {f wo bad “touched that sugar.” to which I as promptly responded, No”; whilo, to my sur- prise, Amelia bean to cry and owned up, in less timo than it takes to tell it my aunt who was a sory expeditious woman at times) had kissed oud’ forgiven Amells and thrash me. Now, in the above case, {t would have been better to have tokl the trath, as any onc con sco. There and then I decided to be truthful henceforth, which was a very bad resolution, o8 the folowln wiil prove. ‘ime passrd, and one winter I found myself out of employment, My shekels of sllver and shokels of gold conatsted of one solitary nickel that dtd not jinglo in my pocket because it had nothing to jinglo against, { was very hungry, uot having eaten anythime for acouple of hours, and Iwas ulso cold, my overskirt being two months heliind the stylo, Iciwas at this critical and porilous moment of my existence that the erists of my life approached and my temptation came, The editor of the Puckerwille Bugle, who had been a iriend of my father's (ho wae uu in- uocent, gulleless old man, alnays petting into Food-for-nothing company without even sus- vecting, and that fs how ho got acqualoted with the editor), offered ine a situation as reporter on his = paper—and accepted. Do not condemn mo two hastily, but remember my oath wud my poverty; remember that I did not then koow thut a reporter required check, brains, and good looks, three commodities of which I was entirely destitute; remembor all these tnluge, and forgive me aa I have forgiven myself, A few days passed without excitement; no one got drunk, no one cloped with any one else's Wife,—in fact, everybody was distractingly good, commonplacu, aud bhumdrom. There Was @case of genuine sinall-pox up-stulrs over the office, but the editor, who was not very en- terprising, I suspect, consigned my vlowing de- scription of tt to oblivion; some wood-sbeds aud smoke-houses burned down, but, of course, I could pot “spread * much in reporting such a conflagration, und I began to despair of ever immmortalizing myself. But at last the gotden opportunity arrived, as 1 fondly hoped, and I wus sunt to the residence of Mr, Jenkina, a wealthy citizen, who Was supposed to bu, dylog, and who unfortunately did die soon after my arrival. <A reporter for the Puckerville Lroadaz was also there. The editors of tha two papers were ng deadly oncmles o8 rival widowers who ure candidates for the hand of the sume schoo! girl. ‘The next morning the following notice np- peared it the respective pavers, mine beloy en- Urely true, the other mostly untrue. (How imine ever passed muster and got iuto print remains au unexplaincd mystery to: this day; but Lhope none of you will doubt that it did appear.) From the Broadax: “ Last cvening, at his lato residence, 21 Kin strect, James A.

H. Pingroy to tell us what the eating of an supe by one woman 6,000 years ago has to do with the polltical riehts, or the rights nnd actions in any way, of the women of theso days. That ts §ust the question women are asking themaclycs, and {tdoes hot take tho reading, thinking, in- quiring infod long to answer it. T havo no patlence with all this taddle abont the mother of the race cating forbidden fruit, ani thereby making herself, and ail women, for all timo, responstbfa for all the sin aud crime of tho world. Te a command was over given not to eat of tho fruit of a certain trec, It was given to the father, and not to the mother of the race, and ho was doubly bound tokcep {t. It was given to him before her creation, and whatever she know of it she received socond-hand from him. From the account handed down tous, she broke the command moro reluctantly than ho,—for it was only after great Atel tag of kuowledge and power to follow that she was prevailed on to cat of the fruit; while all tint was necessary to secure his downtall wis to offer ‘him the apple. Wo aro not told that he clther warned, remon- strated, or objected, or thnt any promises or persuasions were resorted to to entice him, And then, when he was inquired of by the Creatoras to ‘what he had done, ho meanly tried to ableld himeelf from punishment by throwing the blame on the woman,—just ae the Vingresa of these days are doing. How any ono cai read the story of the Garden of Eden and gather therefrom that woman committed tho greater aln, or alowed the weakest intellect, is beyond my compreliension; and I am giad thnt the women of this ago are reading this atory for themeolyes with an enlightened judg- ment, and giving ft the just weight it deserves as a guido to thelr own actions, 5 Another wise remark of D, H. Pingroy fs, that women fn these days " hold on to their maiden homes like grim death.” Well, why shonld wey not! What is thera so criminal in this fact’ Were not thelr names given them by thelr parcats at their baptism, or otherwise, and have . they — not right to be called by. them?
