ighty years, whose life
exemplified the very truth I have been seeking to enforce. Full of
courage and zeal, she withstood all the prejudices of her birth and
surroundings, freed her own slaves, and then devoted herself with voice
and pen to the Anti-Slavery cause, to the enfranchisement of woman, and
to every good word and work that she could aid. Her high literary
attainments, as well as her earnest purpose, gave her great power of
thought and expression, and she was the wise counselor of many of the
foremost men and women among the reformers of the day. As her
brother-in-law, himself a noble man of high culture, stood by her
coffin, with eyes filled with tears, these were the words of his
eulogium upon this woman of dauntless courage, firm purpose, and tender
heart: "For this dear saint and moral heroine, there is only one word
that expresses what she was, and that is LOVE. He that dwelleth in God

friends among all sects and conditions of life, and so she dwelt in God.
Her love never failed." All who heard, felt how beautiful must have been
the private life which could receive such a tribute from such a man. Has
such a woman missed the crown and glory of womanhood?

THE OTHER SIDE.

of teaching, which, however, did succeed in enforcing habits of

up a race of men who will be incapable of doing anything which is
disagreeable to them."--JOHN STUART MILL IN HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

THE OTHER SIDE.

"This is a hard world," said a morbid girl of fourteen some forty years
ago.

"Yes," answered cheerfully the well-known apostle to whom she spoke,
"and God meant it should be a hard world."

When later he himself was caught up into heaven in a chariot of fire,
the serene face showed how gladly he had accepted this "meaning" as his
Father's will.

It is not so with the greater number of the world's workers to-day.
James Mill, to whom we are indebted for some of the very best
intellectual work, thought life was not worth having, and was so devoid
of spiritual perception that he could get no glimpse of a God in a
"world full of sin and misery." This proves nothing as to the universe.
It only shows how un
