Alone.
Lines composed by Mrs. Lillian
Thonburg in girl-hood, reprinted
now by permission.
Alone, O soul, thou cans't not be.
lis only that thou wilt not see
The outstretched hand, to guide aright
And lead thee, safely into light.
The clouds that hide the sun from view
Bright, beaming rays will soon pierce
through.
And thou, O heart, so frozen art
A fount of love, wilt warmth impart.
Departed friends thou still doth mourn,
Have safely reached their Heavenly home
To them cold death was but a dream,
They've passed from darkness into gleam.
Alone, thou cans't not ever be.
Since God bus ever said, "Lo I am with
thee,"
And 'round thee coining from above
Are angel spirits, breathing love.
Look up, from op t thy gloomy night,
And but behold thos" beings bright,
Nor longer think, thyself alone.
And tliut for nye, sweet hope hath flown.
In His pavilion, safely hide,
Ltok up to him. now glorified.
Instead tne tear, thnt dims the eye,
Thy life, song si all breathe on high.
Tin brighter hour , do not bemoan,
Uod's lluwers for all, have sweetly grown.
No ciu.-s will be too great for thee,
For as thy days, thy strength shall be

SAYINGS OF SUSAN B. AN
t THONY.
"No man is good enough to gov.
em any woman without her con
sent." "Self-government is as necessary
for the best development of women
as of men."
I'The greatest compliment ever
aid me was that by my life work
had helped to make the constitu
ents who stand with ballots in their
hands."
"So long as State consitutiona
say that all may vote when 21, save
idiots, lunatics, convicts, and women
are brought down politically to tne
level of those other disfranchised.
This discrimination is a relic of
the dark ages. The most ignorant
and degraded man who walks to the
polls feels himself superior to the
most intelligent woman."
"That women are 'lawful citizens'
is undeniable, since the law recog.
Lizes them as such through the
visits of the assessor and the tax
gatherer; since it recognizrs them
as such in the police stations, the
jails, the courts and the prisons.
Only at the ballot-box is the lawful
citizenship of women challenged."
