Not he who leads the. conquering1 hosts.
Nor mounts the highest throne.
Nor wins the lowlct praise ot man.
Though lit achieve alone:
Kot he who braves the battle's front
When treason tierce aails
And dares the deadly cannon's mouth
When only hoie prevail:
Nor he whomites with al his power
The fal ty of heart
Thai lurks in Mititle reasonings.
Or smiles In laiified art
But he who strike thcoc wilhln.
The part of self that keeps
The noble m-p'irations drowned
In. mournful lotus sleeps
Who hears afar the nnjpfs call
And Titan-like he strives.
Until in mortal ajrony
He rends the iron gyves.
And stands at last a soul confessed.

thing for Us after all that they driv u-

Parsons to his wife one morning as he
came under the rough porch that had nol tu.jr f:iiert wjIO i:ui .n-ested
of waiting until spring when a new
house was to be begun aud when their
services would be much more needed
by the'r mother. But instead of going
to San Franci.-co they would onh go to
Sacramento where there was "a very
good school under the charge of Prof.
Cook and being nearer they could be
the sooner reached in case they should
be taken sick.
Letting the girls go from her side was
the hardest thing Martha Parsons had
been called upon to do since she let
John take her anus from around his
neck and start on his long journey
twelve years before when they lived in
the log house back in the State.; but
like other mothers she loved her chil-
dren and was unwilling that her girls
should grow up without every advan-
tage possible to give them. Their op-
portunities for attending school had
never been very good and for a time
after they h id settled iu their present
home they were without any instruction
except such as she could herself find
time to gne; and it was she. and

If Mr. Parsons understood what her
husband was thinking of. she made no
attempt to teply. and a'ter waiting a
second or two. he began agai.i:
"I don't see a 'Kastus appears to
take p.irrcilar lo an' of the neighbor-

whether he takes a wife from close bv

the girls should sometime take a no-
tion to hitch up and work in double
harness there wouldn't be any obju -tions;
eh mother?"
"The girls are not old enough to get
married John" returned Mr Par-
sons. "Jennie is not sixteen 'et and
Lucy is two years younger still. I hope
that neither of them will think of such
a thing as marriage for a good while.
F.r.istus himself is not quite twenty-one
and although many young men many
a young as that. I do not thiuk that
Krastus has any such intention. Not
that lie has ecr said anything to me:
but as you say I have not noticed that
he appeared partial to any of the neigh-
boring girls although he is a favorite
with all: and as for .Jennie and Lucy
the probably seem to like him like si
ter.s; indeed he seems like a on to me
and whoever he may choose for a w ife
when he docs marrv will get an honor-
able man for a husband and one who
will be kind and loving. I am sure."
"That's so." replied John. "'I"atus

in' his wife and 'babies around if he
ever ha any. Put I '-ihm' it ain't no

His own education was not so good
as tint ot uis wile ami he unt not look
as far into the future in planning for
their welfare: or if so he did not under-
stand as well as she how completely an
uneducated woman married to a man
who follows some kind of manual labor
for a living is cut off from all social
and intellectual mtereuur" with her
kind ami how barren of all that is
beautiful and ennobling her life be-
comes. It is bad enough to be tied to an end-
less round of household dutie- even
when the mind can take occasional rest
and recreation in the perusal of a book
or paper: when sufficient la-te ha been
de eloped to induce the taking of some
infere-t in passing event outs'de of
one's own school district: but when as
is the case with thousands of women no
such taste has 1 ecu eulthated in girl-
hood and the s.-eming duties of wife
ami motherhood icac no time to ao
iptire or dewite to it at a later period
life becomes no more than an animal
existence -becomes a stagnant pool
across whose waters no fresh bree.es
blow : on whose tnarg'.n no fair flow. r
bloom: in who-e depths i mirrored 110
silvery moon no star of hope: and the
spirit wheh should be prepared at the
death of the body to mount to higher
plane of thought ami action finds
itself hound by chains forged on earth-
chains which arc not 1 r k.-n by the
death of tin body but inn-' -till weigh
down tin soul iu its ell'or;- to mount
upward into a higher and better and
holier atmosphere.

ence than was usually 4Ven to those of
their own age and condition in life.
This deference was in no sense obse-
quiouness; it was but the natural ex-pre-son
of that respect which all even
those least ambitious of excellence feel
for others who are known to be striv
ing to make themselves- wiser and bet-
ter. Mrs. Parsons was not les pleased than
her husband. She aNo noticed the es-
teem in which her girls wen held by
young and old; and that while they
aided as willingly and cheerfully in the
household work or in that of the vino-
yard and orchard as ever they had
done thev saw that the performance of
manual labor alone was uol all their
duty to themselves and to society but
that the mind and the heart were en-
titled to consideration a well as the
body.
As for Era'tus. he felt a little shy
when he welcomed the girls on their re-
turn. True he kissed both Jenuie and
her sister but somehow it wa-. not the
hearty kind of a smack with which he
had bidden them good-bye. and he held
Lucy's hand while he kissed her instead
of giving her a hug as he had done the
morning they left.
As for Johnny he was in ee-tac"es;
forbad not theg.rls brought h'ni a half-
dozen thiugs that he had been wanting

And no more ho-pitaole faintly ever

cooked meats and vegetable with
