Whixt MnkoH n True Girl.
London Queen : A triiogirlt 1 low much
is embraced In those threes words , and
what docs constitute a true girl ? Wo
must not merely understand by a true
girl ono who is truthful , but onu wlio en
deavors , under whatever circumstances
BhiS mo bo placed , to do her duty. There
is no happiness in this lifu without duty.
A sense of duty nlwuvs pursues us ; it 'is
omnipresent , like the deity.
The chief characteristic of : i girl should
be truth. "Of : ill the duties , thu love of
truth , with faith nnd constancy in it ,
ranks iirst nnd highest. Truth is God.
To love God and to love truth are one tind
the same. " It is this quality more than
any other that commandK the esteem and
respect and secures the confidence of
others.
To the true girl in all her relations , as
daughter , sister , friend , in all her ac
tions , in nil her words , faithfulness will
be the first consideration. Faith is the
root of all ( rood works , and it is a frulttul
parent of all other graces. "Her word
inustbp her bond through life. " A true
pirl will not make a promise and break-
it , nor say one tiling and mean another ,
will bo true in word and deed. A
broken promise is an untruth told. Tm !
uxcellont advice given bv Polonius to
Laertes in "Hamlet" maj well be followed
out by girls :
Thlsabovo all to thine own self bo true :
And It mnst follow as the nielli the day
Thou canst not then bo false to any man.
The next attributes which hold a high
place in the character of a girl nro
patience and gentleness necessary
qualities in ever.v girl's life. Patience
aids us in extinguishing envy , overcom
ing anger , and crushing pride. How
lunch good may bo done and joy brought
by a gentle word or look ! Truly , "u soft
unswor turnclh away wrath. " "Girls are
not called upon to do great things , except -
cept in rare instances , but the every
day trials of life in the
ordinary and appointed exorcise of the
Christian graces afford ample scope for
the practiceof that virtue of mankind
which has become provc.rbal. The best
exercises of patiencn and self-denial , and
the bettor because not chosen by our-
Helves , arc those in which we have to bear
with the tailings of those about us ; to endure -
duro neglect when wo fuel that wo de
served attention , and ingratitude when
wo expected thanks ; to bear with disap
pointments in our expectations , with in
terruptions in our retirement , with folly ,
intrusion , disturbance in short whatever
opposes our will , contradicts our humor.
Earnestness ranks next to holding a
Ingh place in a girl's character , for do
not earnestness and simplicity carry all
before thorny Charles Dickens tel'ls us
that there is no substitute for thorough
going , ardent , and sincere earnestness.
Let us bear this in mind , and whatever
wo liayo to noeoniplish , Jet us be earnest.
Hand in hand with earnestness goes the
Jtomun virtue perseverance , which has
perhaps been thn radical principle ) of
every truly great diameter. Porsovcr-
mice , working in the right direction ,
throws with time , and when steadily prac
ticed , oven by the most hnmblo , will
nilnly fail of its reward. Trusting in the
help of others is of comparatively little
use. The grandest inventions have been
completed by the diligent pursuit of per
severance. The great success of this vir
tue is scon in the proverb "A falling drop
at last will cave a stone. "
Wo are told by u great author that ho
considers a bountiful form belter than a
boautifiil face , and a beautiful behavior
better than a beautiful form. To have
true beauty a girl must have a tender re
gard for tjiii old and young , for the poor
'
and suH'oring ; must ho sensible and pure
in her thoughts , chaste in her conversa
tion , sympnthotio to those in adversity ,
nnd liavu an affable and even disposition ;
and , nbovo all , humbleness of soul.
Tlio true girl is not complete without
HIP bh'islngof the gift of industry , ( iirls
in-tilled with habits of industry nru moro
snfi-l.v provided for than if they luul a for-
Him1 given them , for there is no art or
science too dillicnlt for industry to attain.
"Sloth maketli all things clilllcult. but in-
dnMry all easy. " industry qunillies us
in all our various classes for the highest
nnd lowest employments ; it inspires us
with fresh vigor in thu performance of
social ami religious duties , and it gives a
wider scope for thu display of our talents.
The iiabit of constant useful occupation
Is a * essential foi the happiness and well-
being of woman as of man. Thu happi
ness of the body lies in health , that of
the mind in knowledge. \ \ itliout
occupation women are apt to sink into
a .state of jlstlass cninil and nsclcsness ,
ncrnmpunicd by sick headache nnd at-

L education of women has made great
sirides in thn last few years , and thn

tun prominent place it deserve * . Are wo
content to bo as we are ? No ; lot us put

to elevate our standard of perfection nnd

us , "The growing good of the world is
partly dependent on unhistorio acts , mid
thai things are not so ill with you and
mo as they might have , beenis half owing
to tho' number who lived failhfullv a

nice girls ; sweet Anne Page was olio. So
was the heroine of "Suckling's Ballad
upon aVi riding. " That must have be"ii
a true girl indeed of whom it was said by
the poet that to know her was a liberal
education the sweetest compliment ever
paid to woman.
Joseph do JIaistrc , speaking of women ,
said : ' 'It is quite true that women have
produced no ehcfs-d'-a'tivro , but , ' ' ho
said , "they have done something far
greater and better than nil this , for It Is
at their knees that upright and virtuous
men and women have been trained the
most excellent productions in the world. "
Women accomplish their best work in
the quiet .Mtrlusion of the home and fam
ily by sustained effort and patient perse
verance in the path of duly. The iulln-
cnec thcv exereise , even though it he un
recorded , lives after them , and in its
consequences forever.

Cnslrovillo ( Texas' , ) Anvil : If there iu
anything we know less about than wo

She will attend church , listen with ab-
E.orhcd interest to eloquent and pathetic
sermons , then return home and expatiate

She will go to table , mince over delica

The Girl IJnby in Prone.
Toledo Journal : To-morrow my baby
will be my baby no longer ; she is going
to school. Her world is about to widen ,
her lifo is about to broaden , but 1 , 1 shall
lose my baby ! What a short six j'oar.i
they have been. They brought her and
put her on the pillow beside me ; 1 put my
linger near her hand and she grasped it.
Heaven came closer to me than 1 had
over dared hope it might. The tirst day
that J Hat up nurse gave her to mo and 1
held her in my arms. My own little
baby ! I wanted no past , no future ; 1
was supremely happy in the present.
When she lay in her crib and followed
me with her eyes , that was bliss. When
she cooed to mo ! When site stretched
out her little hands to mo ! When she
laughed as 1 came near her ! All , ( Jed is
very good to mothers , and I wondered
whysncli joy should come to mo ! Per
haps there was a pang of sorrow as she loft
oil' her long clothes. Yet the cunning
little feet , the creeping ligure , the aimless
stops , the final walking , these made the
change a time of fullness for the mother ,
and the baby was still all my own. She
lins grown in everything e\co l in get
ting along without me. Mamma has been
the pivot around which her life has re
volved. She has come to mo with her
pains , her disappointments , her failures
and hur joys. In my ear .she has whis
pered the wonderful thoughts that child
hood lives upon. No question could
reach so high or pierce such depths but
that mamma could answer it. No dan
ger could threaten her that mamma's
arms were not a safe refuge from ; no
pain so severe but that mamma could re
lieve it. How many bourn in these six
years have wo been together ? Ah , me ,
we shall bo but one from this on , but
we have been but ono thus
far. Not any loss real to her
than 1 am are the hundred
heroes of stories that I have ovnlveu for
her ; they scorn very'i'oal , indeed , to mo.
If 1 have entertained her she has no less
been my Sohulicrczadc , anil has related
tales fully ns impossible as the "Arabian
Nights. " Of late HIO ! has wandered
furtner away , but never so far but that
she could run quickly homo if her fear
was aroused. She has brought with her
thoughts gathered from other children ,
but they are brought to bo tried in the
crucible of mamma's judgment nnd wis
dom. When she "keeps house" 1 often
take tea with her , and she cannot take
more pleasure in the "mako believe"
than 1 do. Hut now she is going to
school. I shall lose my baby ; I have
lost her. She will leave the door
with lasses oa her lips , and my
words HI her car , but she \y-i ;
come home full of school , of coiiy.mnlons
and teachers. will
Hho pass into a
world whcra.l am 115 * ? where 1 can. only
follow at n usance- , and she will never
ftRuiH bo wholly inno. ! Oh , good teacher !
she is but one ot fifty in your room , and
wcrhaps , in your eyes , ono of the least
interesting , lint , oh , she is my ono owe
lamb , and hcaVen shines on me out of her
eyes. 1 must share my kingdom wltli
you. Your praise will count with her

more fearful than all my thundering.
She was a baby an hour ago , but she Ts
one no longer. I shall pick up most of
the playthings and put them away. To
morrow night sbo will look upon them
with great scorn , she will be a baby no
longer and she will have to put nwny
her baby things. So I sit hero pitying
myself while I press her to my heart.
She. is full of the anticipations , but I
whisper to my aching heart i am about
to lose my baby ,

"Women who pose ns models have , as
n rule , poorly-shaped feet , " said an artist
to a Now York Mall and Express re
porter "If their feet arc not poorly
shaped tlmy arc apt to bo out of proportion
tion by being too small. Tlio reason is
obvious. Women arc ambitious ho have
small feet nnd bands , and at an early ago
they begin to wear tight slices. The re
sult is that their feet arc cramped and do
n ) t grow with the other members of the
body. Of course there arc some profes
sional models who began early in life and
never cramped their feet with tight shoes.
They have correct proportions. I speak
generally of. the mass of women who be
come models after they are eighteen
years old. Women Imagine if they have
small feet and hands they have nil that is
necessary to give them a shapely appear *
anco. A worse mistake was never made.
Women who are largo should naturally
have feel In proportion ; from an artistic
point of view they look better. But you
cannot make them think so.
"A crusade ought to be waged against
wearing tight shoes. The tight shoo in
the Iirst place cramps the toes all to
gether until they lose shape and become
frescoed with corns. The foot doesn't
pet the free circulation of blood in it that
it should have and tails behind ingrowth.
The big too usually bears the brunt of
the sin for tight shoos , and manages to
have a largo lump gather just where It
joines the body of the foot. The Ameri
cans are moro prone lo wear tight shoes
than the Knglish women , The I'rcnch ,
outside of Paris , arc not devoted to the
semi-barbarous habit cither , and some of
our lines ! models come from the prov
inces of Franco , The nobility are sup
posed to have small feet and hand ? , but
that is an erroneous impression , as many
notble families I could mention in Eng
land are noted for their largo feet. All
American cirls feel their nobility , and
hence the wisli to have small feet. To
produce a race of perfect-shaped women
a reform must bo made in their shoes ,
oven if wo have to substitute the ancient
sandal. " _

DOCK Ho Love Her ?
"If 1 could only hear him say once , just
as ho used to in our early married life ,
that he loves me , I believe 1 could go to
work again without fooling that every
thing Is such a dreary failure , " said a
woman to mo once , writes Emily Itauton
in the Toledo Hladc.
"You do not doubt his affection ? " 1
asked.
"O , I suppose ho cares , but ho never ,
neve tells moso,1' she replied , with a pas
sionate sort of wail in the tones of her
voice. "Wo just go on week after week ,
eating and drinking , dressing , working
and sleeping , and tlnt : is all there is of it.
1 often think he would care if I would
pass entirely out of his lifo , for he never
seems to notice what I do , never speaks
ono tender word to me any moro. "
And yet he did care ; but it was simply
n habit hu had fallen into , nnd unless
shocked into a rcali/.ation of what he
was doing , the days would go on and on ,
and the conviction of the indifference
would grow deeper and deeper ,
until the love woulil go out in her heart
for aye. And then it would bo too late I
I shall never forget thu glow of pleasure
that used to irradiate the plain , stern
face of a man l knew , at some unex
pected word of fondness or caressing
action from the wife lie loved , whoso
only sin was omission from sheer care
lessness. And then , suddenly , hu folded
his strong arms across the stilled heart ,
and his ears were deaf to her voice , and
her touch had no power to awaken him
to Jife. Then how she regretted the lost
opportunities.
This is the cruel cross of life , to be
Full vlsloned only when the ministry
Of death has been fullilled , and In the place
Of some dear presence is lint empty space.
What recollected services can then
( live consolation lor the might have been' '
Surely the poet who wrote the lines I
have quoted had a llvirig realization of
the pain which "the silences" had cost.
It is not only those that are wedded
who forget to keep the lires of affection
brightly burning ; by words and deeds.
The gay young girl , that strong , vigor-
pus youth , both full ofi.tlic luxury of liv
ing that health and animal .spirits give ,
ofttimcs forget the loving word , the ten
der cnress.to the mother whoso heart has
.beaten all these yours a full measure of
hope and pride for thuir future. When
you feel inclined to be1 careless , O , fair
maiden and brave youth , and to give moro
of thought and care to tho.su who have
denied self for your SEIKO , as she has done ,
remember that the day is coining when
you will stand "fujl visioned" beside her
still form , and thinking bitterly , if 3011
have a heart , of the "might have been. "
And _ yet il is not only young men and
maidens who forgot to make homo hearts
glad by loving words and tender -
dor actions. Nor is this care
lessness confined to the homo
circles. Friends hold fast Ua reticence ,
so far as expression is concerned , of their
kindly feeling toward each other. They
go on week after week , meeting often ,
conscious of the excellence of which
they do not spun ! ; , full of kindness of
thought , which may sometimes , when
chance arises , be put into deeds , but too
often letting "silence" multiply when it
would be so easy and so charming to
break and to throw them away.
] to not chary of loving words to dear
ones , nor of pleasant , appreciative ones
to those around yon. It is hard to toll

Hovcu WuyH or Marryine ,
Hrooklyn Magazine : There are seven
separate and distinct ways in which thu
nuptial knot muy In ; tie.d , thu attending
expense of the different modes varying
from $1 to $1,000. , The least expensive ,
nnd the onu seldom adopted , except in
cases of elopement , i3 that afforded by
the justice's ollice. . TUuro a couple can
be hrmly united in the space of a minute
for a small sum , II is customary for a
groom to dress as hu nmypJea o when the
miirriuge is to bo performed by a justice ,
and udre-5s-Nuit wonld be Ftully out of
plucu in the musty law ollico. The ono
great advantage of thq justice shop mar-
rin go is its cheapness.
AS some people pbjoct to being married
by a justice of the peace , preferring the
sanction of the church In addition to that
of the law , the young people may visit n
parsonage instead of a justice's ofHco
with the same preparation. The cere
mony may bo fully as imformal when
performed at the minister's home , the
only difference being that not less than
$ ! ) , nnd , battur still , f.'i or $10 , should bo
Ijnid for the service , although there Is no
rixcd sum charged. The most popular
ceremony among people who do not
class thomsnlvcs as in "society , " nnd
also among many who do , Is n quiet
homo woddimr , where the bride is attired
in a suit of plain white or a traveling
dress , and the groom in a pl..in black or
brown business suit , whcro only a fnw
friends and relatives are present. The
affair is informal , perhaps u modest sup
per or lunch being served after thu ecru *
mony is performed , nnd the entire expense -
ponso to the groom being covered by $30 ,
or even less. This is the most popular
wedding ceremony , and this is the way
in which fully 23 pur cent of young people -
plo nro married.
Next in point of favor and inoxpon-
slvonuss is the informal church wedding ,
being similar in all things u.xcupt tlr.it the
servlco is ucrformcd within the portals
of the church. If the affair is strictly
private the bride and groom nmy bo un
supported , or have bridesmaids and
groomsmen , as they please. In the lat
ter CEISU full-dress suits should bo worn ,
incroEislng the expense. The "full-dress
wedding , " as it may bo called whim the
ceremony is performed at home , is next
in favor. Klabnrato trousseau , full-dross
suits , bridesmaids and groomsmen , ( low
ers in abundance , and a host of invited
guests are the requisite , followed by a
reception , feast or lunch , as the con
tracting parties may desire.
The seventh and last , and most pop
ular , ia the full-dress affair performed in
church. Among people who desire to
oreEito astir in society this is the favorite.
It Is expensive , and In many cases un
satisfactory.
\VImt n Mnn Wants n Wife For.
1'ittsburg Dispatch : Let mo join with
"Mabel" in giving society women n hint
of their usefulness. No wonder thai men
who go in thcso women's company no
not want to merry. They nro disgusted
with them. Not nil , of course , but too
many aro.
Now , lot me tell you what a man wants
a wife for. In the Iirst place to love her ,
and in ro'.urn to bo loved. In thn next
place ho wants her for a helpmate. In
ease of sickness who can do more than u
.loving wife ? When yon are sick , Mr.
Unchclor , u wife comes in mighty handy.
In health all Eire your friends , but in sick
ness none are to bo depended on except
your wife and mother.
Tell "Herthtt"1 to keep on learning
housekeeping. It isn't a burdo.nsomo
knowledge to carry , even if she hasn't to
do the cooking , ft makes you so inde
pendent that yon don't IIEIVO to take im
pudence from a cook , and in case she
leaves you suddenly as she may do , you
will know how to got your hubby a de
cent bite to eat. If ho doesn't think
more of jrou for knowing that much ho
hasn't any heart.
Uomembor that some are rich to-day
nnd poor to-morrow. When fortune has
taken wings such a wife as "Bertha1' will
make would bo a Godsend to any man. 1
could lull you some very interesting
things about the wav I started in married
"
lifeand how I hsivo "had to struggle along.
Maybe I will take the notion to' jot thorn
down some day , I am very proud of the
part I have taken in helping my husband
along.
Wouldn't Mnrry ilic Whole Family.
Pittsburg Dispatch : "Yo ng man"said
the stem parent to the applicant for his
daughter's hand , "are you sure you can
s'lipnort a family ? "
"I I wan'l ni making any calcula
tions on that , " stammered the young
man ; "i only want the girl , you know.1
Authors' Wives.
Some authors have freely acknowl
edged their indebtciiess to tlioir vives.
His admitted by the most cynical thai
women make excellent critics , and their
judgment is usually sound. "Molioro , "
said Addison , "used to read all his come
dies to his old housekeeper as slio sat
with him : it her work by the old chimney
corner , and he could toll the success of
his play in the theater from the ro.cup-
tion it met at hisiiroside , for lie observed
that the audicnco always followed the
old woman , nnd never failed to laugh in
the .SEimo place. "
Tom Hood had such confidence in his
wife's judgment that ho read and re-road
and corrected with her all lie wrote.
Many of his articles wore first dcdidaled
to her , anil her ready memory supplied
him with his references and quotations.
Ho frequently dictated the Iirst dniftof
his articles , although they wore always
linally copied out in his peculiarly clear ,
neat writing which was so legible and good
that it was once or twice boggoil by
printers to teach their compositors a Iirst
and easy lesson in reading handwriting ,
Macaulay read all his article * to his sister
before sending them to thu press , and
Anthony TroMopo said that no person
had ever road a line of his manuscript
but his wife , "to my very great advant
age in matters of tusto. "
The most noluwortliy examples of joint
iiuthorship are those of Samuul Carter
and Anna Maria Hall and of William and
Mary llowitt. Mr. and Airs , llowitt

thu great majority of "women of mind , "
Mrs. llowitt ably discharged hordoniostiu

ill , "is liiu best poetess and the best house

Thorn are cases , however , when the in
spiration , the sympathy , and the help of
a wife are never acknowledged. The here

Many authors and journalists known
to us find in their wives anil daughters
excellent amanuenses , who not only
make good copyists , but suggeativo liter
ary assistants. Terrible is the loss of
such an assistant. Salu hns recently
given expression to his grief ul the loss
of Mrs , Salu. Ho declares himself a

seems hard to plcu&o. Hu advertised for

irenry ( icorjio In San Francisco.
San Francisco Chroniclu : It sounds
strange to hoar of Ilunry ( iuorgo , nomi
nee for mayor of Now York , and his
enormous vole. I mot the other night a
man who know him very intimately
when , years ago , the legislature created
for him the ollice of inspector of gas
meters. It was purely for his benefit , and
a friendly net to a very clover man , who
was poor. Henry ( ! oor < ro is not rich now.
Indeed , it is an open fact that at no time
lias ho been wealthy , and the light ho
made in New York is nil the more sug
gestive because be was chosen purely as
a representative labor candidato. But
J don't ' think he's nnito as poor as ho was
for many years in ban Francisco , or oven
some time timu after thu publication of
"Progress and Poverty. " When that
singular book was making its little stir
Hio gentleman 1 speak of met Ucorgo on
the street.
"Bvtho way , George , have you been
writing a book on political economy ? "
"Yes. It's just out. "
"I hear a great dual nboul it. Where
can I got a copy ? "
"Well , " said ( Jeorgc , "I have a few
copies , and if you don't mind 1' rather
you'd buy it from mo direct. It will dome
mo moro good. "
And the gonlleman waited till the po
litical economist went and brought him
i copy of "Progress and Poverty , " and
was very glad to pocket HID money.
Whatever views- George holds on the
subject ol properly , a good many of his
old'fricuds will bo only too glad if he can
make his fortune. Tlui.y are not political
iconomists , and they will not ask him lo
livido it with them.
