Who knows jno best and loves mo bust has

A woman to live my lifo out
In quiet womanly ways
Hearing tho far-olf battle
Seeing as through a kazo
Tho crowding utrnggling world of men light

I would not join tho fight
Or.jostlo with men in tho highways
Or stain my garments white ;
But I havo rights as a woman and hero I
claim my right :
Tho right of a roso to bloom
In its own sweet boparato way
With none to question tho perfumed pink
And nono to utter a nay
That it reaches a root or xoints a thorn as
ovou a roso treo may.
Tho right of a lady birch to glow
To grow as tho Lord shall please
By never a sturdy oak rebuked
'Denied nor sun nor breeze
For all its pliant slonderness kin to the
stronger trees.
Tho right to a life of my own ;
Notmcroly a casual bit
Of somebody olso's lifo flung out
That taking hold of it
I may staud as a cipher docs after a num-
eral writ.
Tho right to gather and glean
What food I need and can
From tho garnered stores of knowledge
Which man has heaped for man
Taking with free hands freely and after an
ordered plan.
Tho right ah ! best and sweetest
To stand all undismayed
Whenever pain or soirow or sin
Call for a woman's aid
With nouc to cavil or misconstrue by never
a look gainsayed.
1 do not beg for a ballot
Though very life were at stake ;
I would beg for tho noblor justcr w ay
That men for manhood's bake
Should give ungrudging and not wit hold till

The fleet foot and tho feeble foot
Both seek tho solf-sanio goal ;
Tho weakest soldier's name is writ
On tho mighty army-roll ;
And God who made man's body strongmado

The Reconstructed General's Wife.
Tho WnBhiugtou corrospoudsnt of tho
Louisvillo Courior-Journal writes :
" Tho wife of tho gntlaut Gon. Crook
has boon passing some weeks in Wash-
ington. Mrs. Crook was very desirous
of having her husband transferred from
Arizonn whero tho climate is tolling
upon his health to some other station.
At a recout entertainment tho President
was promoiiading with Mrs. Crootc whon
she ventured upon a plea for her hus-
band. Tho President answered her by
saying that Gon. Crook was too valuable
whero he was to bo exchanged to any
other post and added : ' IIo serves his
country so much better when his wife
is with him that you will havo to return.'
Mrs. Crook was a Miss Daly of Win-
chester and was captured by hcv husband
just after tho celebrated battle in which
her husband acted so conspicuous and
bravo a part. Sho is very handsome and
sprightly so sho saucily answered tho
President by telling him that her hus-
band was a greater General than he or
Sheridan. ' For' said she 'it only took
him two hours to reconstruct mo aud
after ten years' trial you and Sheridan
have failed in the South.' The President
got oven with hor at their last meeting.
Am I really to tako that long journey
through tho Indian country to rojoiu my
husband ? ' ' No' ho said l I am going
to send Gen. Crook to Alaska and you
can join him at San Francisco.' And
while the President's race was grave and
serious there was a twinkling of fun
about tho corners of his eyes and tho
lady did not scare a bit."

New "York correspondent of tho Boston
Times says Bonner owns $250000 worth
of equiuo property; spends fiv5 or six
hours out of every twenty-four in his
stables or on tho road. IIo loves horses
thinks horses talks horses. Nevertheless
if ho wants' to drive to a. neighbor's
house or to a distant part of tho city in
tho evening ho always bines a carriage
from tho livery stable. Dexter aud the
other noblo steeds are too fine for
ordinary employment. Boomer's bill at
livery is reported to bo $1500 a year
while the interest on tho value of his
horses at the legal rate is $17500 per
annum . Ho paid $25000 fo r Dexter and
was pronounced profoun dly foolish
therefor. He could have sold him again
for $50000 although ho would not tako
$100000. It is ono.of his iuiosyncracies
that he never sells anything : ho is only a
buyer. Of all tho real estate ho has pur-
chased ho has never dispose id of a single
foot. He keeps whatever ilio .gets and
gets more. It is said that lie lias made
up his mind to own Goldsmith Maid;
and doubtless he will do so Jf tho in are
can bo had for money. Bo unor can af-
ford to bo extravagant. His entire prop-;
erty cannot bo worth less than $5000-'

A Duel at Four Feet.
In 1837 Colonel Duval a candidate for
the senate in one of tho upper senatorial
districts ef Mississippi became involved
in a personal affair with young Cun-
ningham of tho famous fighting Cunning-
hams of South Carolina. Cunningham
was not twenty-one. IIo was a small
handsome youth with long flaxen
hair bright blue eyes and of very amia-
ble gentlemanly manners but of most
dauntless determination and cool cour-
age. Cunningham had challenged Du
val who had fought beforo and was re-
garded as an adept in the duello. Duval
in a spirit which' wab considorod border-
ing on braggadocio accepted the chal-
lenge but prescribed tho terms that they
should fight with pistols at four feet off.
Ho evidently mistook his man if ho im-
agined that such terms would bo reject-
ed by Cnnniugham. The parties met
opposito Vicksburg. An immense eon-
courso assembled to witness tho affair.
The boyish Cunningham excited univer-
sal sympathy mingled with pity aud ad-
miration when ho appeared in tho field.
IIo looked younger and more boyish than
ho really was. There was a serious do-
sign on tho part of tho spectators to in-
terfere and prevent tho light between a
full grown man and a more boy. But
Cunningham aud his friends by their
conduct prevented all such interference.
The parties wore soon stationed in their
places just four feet apart by exact
measurement. Cunningham fixed his
oyes upon tho autagouiut Avith that pe-
culiar goutlo smile characteristic of him.
Duval though doubtless a brave man
could not but feel and manifest some
nervousness on tho occasion as ho had
prescribed tho perilous and desperate
terms on -which tho combat was to bo
determined. "Attention" was called
and. the parties declaring that they wore
" ready" tho word was givon and both
fired at tho word " one." Duval fell
Bhot through tho heart. Cunningham
stood coolly in his place unscathed. An
involuntary "hurrah" arose from tho
spectators at tho issue of au affair which
had enlisted their feelings so -warmly in

Virtue ik Whistling. An old farm-
er onco said to us that ho would rot' have
a hired man on big farm who did not ha-
bitually whistle. IIo always hired whist-
lers. Said ho uovev knew a whistling la-
borer to find fault with his fpod his bed
or complain of any little extra work ho
was asked to perform.' Such a nlan was
generally kind to hi chilftvon aud to an
imals in his care. Ho would whistle a
chilled lamb into "warmth and lifo and
would bring his hat full of eggs from tho
barn without breaking one of them. Ho
found such a man more careful about
cleaning gates putting up bars and sett-
ing that tho nuts on his plow were all
properly tightened before he took it in.tp
tho field. IIo novor knew a whistling
hired man to kick or beat a cow or drive
her on a rim into si stable. IIo had no-
ticed that tho shcesp he fed in tho yard
and Bhed gathorod around him as ho
whiBtled without: fear. IIo hover had
omployed a -whit tiler who was not
thoughtful and economical.
