OF the head, she said, Harry you are a
phiIosopher--tcll me, what is death :"

"Ah it giyes YOU pain, my dear Hlar-
ry, to hear ne talk in this way. Well,
we will change the sub cct--what is ite:'


still Harry was silent, for" thick-crowd
ing lancics were struggling i'll his brain.


Now, Harry" she continued. in Il
lower, graycr tone, ever since became
acquainted with you, have lived in IA
new world. Often, when you have been
explaining to me about the sun, and the
moon, and the stars, and all the wonder
full things of this earth, have longed 10
be able to sail through the universe, to cX-
anime every thing to understand every
thing, to be able to comprehend some
thing of the marvellous works of God.
Then | have said to mysell-Wha hat a
poor stupid thing you are you don't
know any thing. Oh, | wish | were a
man Harry, why did God make us me"
and ,c0men -


Harry replied, " Nay, my dear girl you
will exhaust yourself if you 60 Oh at this
rate. You want repose."


Well, will take your advice. My
body is weak, but feel as if my mind
was wonderfully active. Come ,o-mor-

a lighter step and more cheerful heart.


"Oh, Harry" she said, how | have
been longing for you to return !! | want
you to answer my question; why did God ,
make us men and women? 7"


" 1t was His pleasure, my dear, to do
so, just as he has made the earth a globe,
and surrounded it with an atmosphere"


" Yes, yes, know all that very well.
But what | want to know is what you ;
would call the rationale of the question. {
| will put it another way-What sort of
world would this be, if we had all been {
merely Intellectual beings, without that ,
division by which we are men and wo-
men :" {


"All can fancy of it is, that in this {
case, human beings would have rescnbled t
a forest of p!nc-trees-dull, dark, and |
uniform" t


Why, Harry, why? want to know $
the reason why :" +


"This division of the human race into |
men and women may be termed the ka- +
leiodoscopc of humanity. 1t is COM |
parativcly simple matter, and yet it pro- {
