Never say Bnything damawin.i to tho
good name ol a woman, it matters not
how poor s':a uay be or what her place
ia society, ilsey have a hard enough
ttirm at best, and God help the roan
that would givo thcra a kick down the
hill. We r.io all too free with their
nan.es talk loo much about thorn, and
we do very wrong. Tho least little hint
that theje is something wrong, that "she
ai.d't nil right," whether spoken ia jest
or in earned, is taken up ; mid unlike
tho rolling stones, gathers moss as it
goes froru placo to place, and at last
coaies borao to the persecuted with
crusamg weight, bho has done noth
ing but keep quivit while her idle per
secutor have pursued bar, and now she
is Incited Iroca door to door, and is
fallen so low that uoao will do her
reverence. Givo a doc a bad name
and you had as well kill him talk about
a good woman on the streets aud across
t arroom counters, and you had as well
set her down at once as a social wreck
No one wants to hulp her. Wo don't
want so much theoretic religion; we
want a kind of blue jeans nud home
spun pity that will do fcr tho washtub
and tho kitchen us noil as the drawing
room and lua parlor a sort ot tiuuer
sal honesty that will cot think a woman
a thief because chs happens to wear a
snn-bounet and wr.ik across tha street
with a string r,f in.ukeral iu her band
Tbaro is nothing wrong iu manual lab. r,
nnd l.o.iest poverty is a sura passport to
heaven.
