' A young lady went into a crowd ed railroad car and found all the seats occupied, two of which were by a couple of young men who had reversed the forward seat, so they could sit and face each other. The young lady quietly put her hand on the seat and pulled the back to the place it ought to be, and by so do ing pulled the young man with it, who, seeing the young lady meant to have the seat, got up and helped pull it bask ward Then the young lady stepped in to the seat and sat down without thanking the man. In fact, she acted as if the young man was not on the scene at all. Was the young lady guilty of discourtesy in not thanking the young man ? Hardly. She would have been had theyonng man taken the initiative and offered the seat. But he didn't; she had to assert her own right, ' and he ought to have been rebuked more than thanked. One of the mean est little bits of a man is to force a woman to the asseriiori of her own rights. That yoang man thought the young lady wouldn't , do, that, but he: was mistaken. She, had the, fntel ligehce to know s what, was d ue ser, and the spirit, . to;-claim it, ad hhe did it a:unccjJcerBedJyi as, ishe was. raising a.,wiuuw.u ,,u. ;.pr: "Harriman is: going around seek ing, what railroads heQnay devour.-. y A Woman's : Essay ' on Man. . . A boy, can sit still on a sled. six inches square j tied to a sleigh mov ing eight miles an hour; but could n't sit still on a sofa five minutes for a dollar. A man will sit on an inch edge of a board and talk politics, for three hours; put him in, a church pew iwr forty minutes, gets nervous, twists ulid turns and goes to sleep. A man will pou;h his cheeks with filthy tobacco, juice runs down to his chin, feels good;.but a hair in the butter kills him. , He stays out till midnight, wife don't know where he is, comes hWe whefi he pleases, but if a meal is nt ready just'ou time, pouts, frowns, and says un pretty things. Evidently man is a strange animal. Gets full,, beastly drunk, imagines he's richj a great man, bets on the losing horse, goes broke, quarrels, fights, lands in jail, eyes dressed for Easter, face fresco ed and morals depraved, yet he is "Lord of all ? creation and monarch of all he surveys.". Strange animal this man.
