Concerning Widows.
ItOndnn World.
Widows exhibit a pathetic helpless
ncss times combined with thovcrsatilo
sympathy of a father confessor. Thoy
might olten vlo with tho lawyers in ex-
I
porionce of tho secret working of tho
znontal machinery ol human nature.
For tko widow has graduated in tho
tender emotions. Sho is thcrcforo ablo
to regard with disinterested fricndll
ncss those attacked with tho promoni
tory symptoms of tho malady from
which sho has, perhaps, long ago suffer
ed horsolf, and to proscribo accordingly,
In tho novels, Pyramus tolls her pas
aion to tho moon, and Thlsbo to her
plllcw. As a matter of lact, thoy
usually pour forth their story to tho
sympathetic car of tho widow, whom,
as advertisements say, no household
should bo without. Sho possosscs tho
experienco nnd authority which attach
by right to tlio fogoy, and all tho airy
enterprise of tho skittish matron. Eron
tho young brldo hangs upon her lips.
At Christmas parties sho is an inlalllblo
oraclo, an incarnato Ball-room Guido,
n living and breathing filo of Myra's
Journal. At tho meet hor pony-car-
rlago is mobbed by tho men, whllo tho
women half enviously recognize tho
charm of crapo. Strango to say, sho
disarms tho critics of hor own sex. Sho
can sympathize with tho misgiving of

one learns to go uiuue. ono una Jtuuwu
tho aomcstio cares oi ino matron, anil
oven for tho veteran campaigner, whoso
arms havo not yet secured tho matri
monial laurel, sho abounds in experi
enco which always sound now, and
often prcvo invaluable For sho is re
garded, rightly or wrongly, as disinter
ested. It is thought that, like a Duko
who lias gainod tho bluo ribbon, or nn
Alderman who has passed tho Chair,
sho has roalizcd her ambition. Often
sho Justifies tho reputation. Sho is tho
patron saint of failures; a mothor to
tlioso who aro morally adrift or socially
derelict, At her feet genius, misunder
stood ormalignod, pours out his ologies.
Sho draws into iter system satellites
groat and small, and, horsolf tho ccntor,
shines with impartial light and warmth
upon all. Hor very weeds appeal to
inotirusuuBunso noiesHiiian mo sympa
thetic heart. Thoy enhance tho blondo
complexion by contrast. Worn by tlio
brunette, thoy servo to illustrato what
art critics call harmony of tono. Black
lends Itself to graceful movements, Tho
widow has got boyond tho theory of
mi) into uiu jiruuucu.
But thoro aro widows and widows.
Addison said that In his experienco
"widows did not mourn lor tho loss of
husband, but for tbo want of ono." In
such cases tho weeds at a distanco tv
flag oi distross otton resolve them
solves, on nearer acquaintance, into tho
(louant symbol ot tbo rovlntr privateer.
It is not for want of wearing that woak
humanity falls a victim. Mr. Wcller
spoke with all tho foellne; of a loner suf
foring exporlenco In warning his son to
"bewaro of widows." As tho widow
unattached mav work lnllnito cood as
an angol oi light, sho may do still great-
r mucuiei in tno opposito character.
Her words havo weight and her exam
plo authority which carry conviction to
tho hearts of thoso among whom sho
lives anet moves.

statement that "It is not distinctly ro

famous English historian and philosopher.
was born In 1705, at Ecclcfechao, Scotland.
Ho was educated in the Uiilverslty of Edin
burgh, entering at the ago of 14, and early
embraced literature as a profession. In 183 1
he wrote a "Life of Schiller," and soon afttr
translated Goethe's romance, "Wllhclm Muls
tcr," and tbeso books contributed much to
call the attsntlon of tho English public to the
German lltcraturo ot whose Ideas he himself
was tho English representative. In 1S34 he
moved from Cralgonpultock, near Duntrles,
whero he had led a secluded life, to London.
In 1837 ho wrote the "History ot the French
Revolution," and In 1810 ho delivered his cele
brated courso of lectures on "Heroes and
Hero Worship." In 1S13 ho published
"Cromwell's Letters and Speeches," In
1851 "Tho Life of John Sterling," and
from 1853 to 1S04 ho published "Tho
Life of Frederick the Great," besides
producing various miscellaneous literature.
It las been said that Carlylc's stand-point as
a historian and philosopher was not one o
conviction but of temperament; that he could
only write when In tho attitude of an oppo-
nent-what all the world hated, ha would de
fend, admire and love; what all people strlvo
after ho would mock and deride. A London
dispatch states that tho King of Ashantcc has
declared war against England. Stores and
ammunition have been ordered to the Capo
coast from Madiera. The War Ofilco held a
special council and It was dcclJcd to
tako Immediate and effective measures to pro
tect tho British settlement on the West coast
of Africa. It seems that tho King ot Ashanteo
sent a special ambassador to Cape coast castlo
demanding ot tho Governor the surrender ot
Gamm, a rcfugco Chief ot tho Ashanteo
tribe. Hie Governor declined and the King
at once declared hostilities. Tho Governor

A Itoninncn In British High Life.
Many yoars ago a young man mado
his appearance in Stratford, and passed
a few weeks at tho tavern which thon
existed to afford shelter to stage-coach
travellers. Whence ho camo, and what
was his business, nono could gucs?.
Directly oppesilo tho tavern stood tho
small cottngo and forgo of a blacksmith
named Folsom. Ho had a daughter
who was tho beauty of tho village, and
it was her fortuno tc captivato tho heart
of the young stranger. Ho told his lovo,
said ho was traveling incog, but, in con
fidenco, gavo her his real namo, saying
that ho was hoir to a largo fortune She
returned his lovo, nnd thoy wcro mar
ried n fow weeks nftor. Tho strangor
told his wlfo that ho must visit Now Or
leans. Ho did so, nnd tho gossips of tho
town mado tho young wlfo unhappy by
dlsagrcesblo hints and Jeers. In a fow
months tho husband roturncd, but be
fore a week hnd clasped ho received a
large budget of letters, and told his wifo
that ho must at onco return to England,
and must go alono. Ho took his de
parture, and tho gossips had another
glorious opportunity to mako a con
fiding woman wrctohod. To all but
horsolf it was a clear coso of desertion.
Tho wifo became a mothor, and for two
years lived on in silenco and hopo. By
tho end of that tlmo a letter was receiv
ed by tho Stratford beauty fromhor hus
band, directing hor to go at once to Now
York with hor child, taking nothing
with hor but tho clothes sho wore, nud
embark in u ship for homo in England.
On hor arrival in Now York sho found a
vessel splendidly furnished with ovcry
oonvonlcnco and luxury for her comfort,
and two servants ready to oboy ovcry
wish that alio might express. Tho ship
duly arrived in England, and tho Stmt
ford girl becamo mistress of a mansion,
and, as tho wlfo of a baronet, was salut
ed by tho aristocracy Lady Samuel Stirl
ing. On tho death of her husband
many yoars ngo, tho Stratford boy sua
coodod in the tltlo and wealth of his
father; and in tho last edition of "Peer
ago and Baronetage," ho is spokon of
as tho issuo of "Miss Folsom, of Strat

Tho low prices which personal rolics
bring nowadays, compared with what
was cheerfully paid for them forty or
fifty years ngo, is, wo think, a sign that
public tasto Is Improving. For mstanco,
a tooth of Sir Isnao Newton was sold In
1810 for tho sum of 730. Doubtless
this is small compared with tho 60,000
which tho King ol Pogu offered the
Portugucso ns tho ransom of Buddha's
tooth now In tho Tomplo of Adam'a
Peak, In Coylon. But tho ono bit of
dcnlino is of much tho samo valuo as tho
other, for though an Owon can ropro
dttco n mastadon or nmogatherium from
n singlo tooth, tho most lcarnod nma

distinguish a molar of tho author of
"Prlnclpla" from thnt extracted from,

leon I. at tho battlo of Eylau was sold ia
1835 for nlnctoon hundred and twonty
francs, though nt a rccont salo numer
ous relics of tho Emporor brought mora
trifles. Tho ivory arm-chair prosentotl
to Gustavus Adolphus by tho obsequious
city of Lubcck was sold in 1825 for fifty,
eight thousand florins, whllo tho coat
worn by Charlos XII. nt tho battlo of
Pultowa fotcliod at a salo in tho samo
yoar tho enormous sum of flvo hundred
nnd sixty-ono thousand francs. Tho
two pens employed in slglng tho treaty
of Amiens woro also disposed, of in that
year of unwisdom for 500. A wig be
longing to Stcrno brought two hundred
guineas, though ouo which had former
ly covorcd tho head of Kant was not ni
scsscd by his countrymen nt moro than
tho samo numbor of francs. Voltair's

francs, a waist-coat bolonging to Ros

his pinchbeck watch nearly half as much.
