All day long I could not banish her hap-

a at tho time npmiluted 1 ktoot m her lit

was busj with other customers, mi ta
king :i neat 1 (jlanred around tho little
room, ono part of which waa curtained

wcro trlmmlnfr h.ita and chatting and

cause your hair is ellow, you must
have j cllaw trinimlngs," 1 waa ao in
different to pcrwnal appearance I ahould
Iiiito taken it with no comment. Why
atudy what was becoming in order to
uttraot, when 1 onlv wanted to bo alone!
I had come to the little town to be away
from all mv friends, excepting dear
auntie, and 1 thought no ono wan no un
happy aud miserable a I. My one
Trijjhl )iirticular star had gone out Iu
darkness, and I waa determined no oth
er light should take its place.
"l)o j on not get rery tired mime
timeH?" ald I to the litllo woman.
"Yiw, aornetlme, and then my girU"
hero ahe looked lovingly at her aaiiat
ant.s. "will have me go and Ho down.
You nee I live with my father in that

I have taken a half hour's nap I am
wonderfully refreshed."
"You liko mllliacry work?"
"Oh veal I am never ho happy aa
when I am hero and surrounded
by
bright colors. '
lly this time my hat was ready for me,
no 1 had no excuse for remaining. On
my wny back to auntie's I determined I
would ask her to tell me all alio knew
About tho llttlo milliner. I learned
jfrom aunt that Mias Jamus was the
cldcat daughter of ono of tho village
liaator. At two years of ago sho had
dad a fall that resulted in spinal com
plaint, and from that time she almost
seemed the idol of her parents; and
when other sister and brothers came
she seemed to them tho dearest ono, be
cause of her affliction. Excepting when
NiifTcring she was thu life of the family,
but although sho tried hard to hide ber
feelings her parents saw that she felt
her helplesness, and when tho children
talked of their hope and exectations
for tho futureas children always 4a
sho could not entirely hide her tars.
Sho had a passion for making minaturo
hats and bonnets to the delight f her
girl frieHils with doll. Sh oftcu asked
r parents if sho could keep u millin
ery Htore w hen she was grown At first
they tried to get her out of the notion,
as they hud considerable property, und
ther felt sho would never bo obliged to
maintain herself, hut at last they con
sented to allow her to have a little shop
if sho desired when grown, for thty dis
liked to deny their little unfortunate
daughter. From the time she gained
their consent she was a different child,
sho fi;it that her life would lie something
more than a mere existence, she would
o of some use. It wis amusing to
hear her' tell how sho would have thing
in her litllo fitablishrecnt, aad what she
would do' with her money. IasUad of
tiring of the idea, as her psrcnU thought
hIiu would t time only increased hr e
V uiro for it. Waea she was ready to buy
her goods, her father west to the city
witfcher, and every time abe goes her
father or somebody cocs with her. She
always sees so. much in the city every
tinitTsho goe. and her descriptive pow
ers are so largo, that her friend esteem
it quite a pleasure to hear her describe
what she sees. The ehildnm lore to hear
her toll about tho bird store, as she de
scJfibiw the ciflercnt birds and imitates
their calls., Use tirao sh saw a parrot,
and ho was s fine looking alio longed
to possess him; so sho asked thu bird
fancier how much be asked for him,
and was highly amused to hear tho par
rot answer:
4"You go away; you cannot buy mo!"
almost all sho cams sho gives to chari
table objects, and many a poor family
has been relieved through her guneros
ity Sho is universally respected and
loved, and very few bavo fulfilled their
childish expectations as she has. She
seems to lovo every ono.

Chrnno-iitbofraphy and photo-engraving
have eaahtrd priaters to repro
duce in black aad white, or 'In colore,
the greatest works of art at a very low
price, aad In some case it requires an
expert to detoraslne the Imitation en
gravings 6r paintings frosn the origin
als. And jet the prejudice in favor of
original engravings and of oil paint
ings Is so great that their market price
has not been materially r.fiVctcd by the
Invention of new and superior process
es of reproduction. Hail oil paintings
are much preferred by some people to
good ehromo-lithographs, ami the pro
duction of the latter seems simply Ui
have exteaded the tield for thu salu of
works of art Indeed the demand for
cheap (often bad) oil paintings is now
large enough to Induce the production
of such pictures on thu factory system,
and thoy nro sold to dealers, nnd par
ticularly lo "art auctioneers," by the
dozen. The Trttmm recently described
the processes of manufacture iu New
York factories. Boys, using stencils,
"lay la" the greater part of Uie picture
in oil colors, mixed for their use by the
"artist," who completes tho painting
by some foreground work, much of
which is done by tho use of a spongo
dipped in color. During the war oil
paintings of generals In the union army
were manufactured Id a similar way,
tiojs laying In tho figures, backgrounds,
cU:., by the use of a stencil, and the
artist simply coloring a photographed
head. The landscapes now made at thu
manufactories in New York aro gener
ally twenty-two by thirty-six inches,
and with frame covered with Vienna
metal to imitate gold, are sold at from
:tO to tlOO a dozen. Kmart auction
eers, selling sack.ploliiroa by gas light,
not unfrcqucntly obtain for one picture
tho price of a doen, for the frame
alone, if gold, would be would bo worth
916 or tzO. Sometimes they are sold
through the personal solicitation of a
man representing himself to.bo the art
ist, and aotuafreqaenUythe naaaet ef
well known arttato, ehaaged ia a lifter
oMnitial, are attached to the pletarea
to give then greater value. There is
another class of cheap pictures ,knowu
as " pot boUera," but those are not factory-made;
they are the work of real
artists, who are compelled la paint a
few pictures hurriedly that they nay

Did American soldiers, on the day of
Hunker Hill, punish thu men who had
Instigated the war? Noi except Indirect
ly and slightly, Hut they punished M
thousand Ignorant and comparatively
fmlltlea sohllrr. Many of tlmm had
MM'fi concriptd or enticed Into the ar
my by fale promises, hut when once
there were compelled In do their mas
tor's cmel work, oven though II worn to
kill their own fathers or brother. On
the day referred to some of Ihem worn
driven Ui attack thn American at the
point of tho sword in Dm hands of their
officers. These, went tho men whom tho
Americans punished, mid over wkoto
wounds ami death thoy havo exulted
for a century, and built a monument to
commemorate the viil men, who by
becoming soldiers, In-calm) slaves, or
the mere tools of their matter, and
fought our countr)meii not lieeaiisn
they horo them any sjieolal III, but be
cause thoy were forood to II,
Hut these soldiers wore not llm only
one whom they punished, though they
still failed to reach those who deserved
it. The one thousand dead or wounded
soldiers who suffered nl Hunker Hill
went connected with ono thousand
homes and families aoross tho watar,
Into which the tiding of thai bloody
.June day carried sorrow and mourning,
Ther were wives In thoto families who
hail la-en made widows, and children
who h.id bcrii orphaned, There were
parent who only sou Mho liopd of
their declining year -had boon sacri
ficed on the battle field. And while there
was mourning In a thousand cottages,
King, Ministers and Members of I'arll
ament wore personally unharmed and
planning for still greater sacrifices of
victims to Moloch. We ask again, who
had tho Americans punished ?-?Mh

There Is great fear, on tho part of
some amUhiufiorsons who write for the
public, lest, in certain excited move
ments of reform, there should be those
who will take step for which llioy will
lm sorry. Thoy argtwi from this that It
Is not best to havo any excitement at
all, and especially that nothing should
bo done under incitement. It so Imp-
