Uut 1'vo met tnv little Sally
At tlio moutli of Daw son's nllov.

'Mlil tlio Jostling crowd that passes
'Ncatli tin ) ( hirlni ; lamps and gases ,
And tlio blioutlnic ot the ill Ivors and the
newsboy's calls.
And the Illy of the vallev
That H'a\e my little Sallv
Was thn faded penny bouquet that a flower
Slio 1ms never seen one growing ,
As It's easy to be showing ,
For Its birthplace Is the Dreamland that's
boj end Uow Hells.
Oh I It pains me In our walking
All the oaths anil shameful talking ,
And the folks that brush tier passing , and the
Klnncus buldl
Hut though evil things may touch her ,
They can never hurt or smurtch her ,
For she turns the dirt to sweetness as a
flower the mould.
Nay , It's not In country places ,
'Mid the liclils and simple faces ,
Out of sight and sound ot evil , that a pure
heart grows :
It Is hero In London city ,
In the sin and shame and pity ;
For the pure heart draws Its pureness from
the wrung U knows.
When my Sally's sweetness found me ,
1 was like thu men around me ;
I was coarse and low and selfish as the beast
that dies ;
But her grace began to win me ,
And my heait wtis chanted within mo.
And 1 learned to pray from gazing In my
darling's eyes.
Cornets nntl Garters All Kfjilit.
Now York Star : The next thing that
troubles the crank is either the garter or
the corset. Ono ho insists upsets the
Jungs nnd the backbone , and the
digestion nnd the eyesight this is the
corset and the other ho will assure you
stopt the circulation of the blood. Yet
there are women who , with .their spinal
columns out of order , their lungs
squeezed In , their digestion broken up ,
the circulation of their blood stopped ,
manage to live on to a good old ago un
troubled by n day's sickness. My ex
perience has been that the women who
liavo fads about their underwear are
usually three-quarters sick in body
nnd the other quarter sick in mind.
i Now , n well-fitting corset doesn't hurt
1 anybody's spine. They are slightly open
1 nt the back , with only the silk lacing
coining against it ; they hold the bust in
place , support the skirts , nnd are not
* long enough to interfere with digestion.
If a corset is unhealthy , why in the name
of common scnso do the women who decline
clineto wear them invariably take some
1 fclill'oned bodice In their place ? If the
\ corset is unhealthy , so is the bodice , for
if is tight enough to hold you In , then it
is performing the duty of a corset in the
1 most awkward manner possible. As to
garters , the average women doesn't
. wear thorn , not because they are unhealthy -
healthy , but because suspenders hold her
Blockings up better. Then the old idiot
talking nbout women's clothes usually
ends til > by n' long dissertation on the
nd vantages of clothes being swung from
the shoulder ? , nnd usually convinces his
audience , unless they are- members of his
mutual ml mi ration society , of how little
lie knows about comfortable clothes as
far aa women are concerned.
Wliy Girls are CoqucttiHh.
Chamber's Journal : The "fair girl
Graduates" have their own triumphs
triumphs neither few nor insignificant :
but over the lives of men their triumphs
have not extended. In the drawing-room
the despised coquette is queen legnant ,
nnd them the pule student , the class
room's glory , is simply nowhere. The
coquette knows her power and revels in
it. In soli-defense the exercise of such a
power has been thrust upon her. She is
not or was not-always heartless. She
knows who bettort that this light
trilling Is ignoble It is not the life she
would have chosen had the choice been
given her ; but there is magic in it. The
sense of swav is delightful to her ; the
sweets of adufation , like a subtle poison ,
intoxicate their victim with a transient
rapture , and she knows .that while she is
young nf I has health und gayety she can
Iiold her own. And afterwards ? But
why dream of the stormy morrow ? To
day is fair. Why trouble as to what the
end may bo ? In the meantime she will
laugh and llirt and bo fitful and charm
ing , vivacious , djoamy , cruel , kind ; she
will retract and repel , draw hearts to
her , whose homage her own levity will
quickly alienate ; she will be wondered
at , censured , admired , and , perchance ,
loved ; but until the sun shall dawn on
that unknown country where men are
constant , leal and true , the land whore
unobtrusive kindliness is dearer to them
than feigned ( latteries and bewitching :

' A Now York Woman's Work.
Now York Mall and Express : A lady
well known In New York society as tlio
wife of a prominent banker and distin

IKIS Invented n now kind of work that is
likely to become popular with tho.se
whose tustns He in the same direction ,
and who are , perhaps , tired ot the con
ventional methods of painting. She has
imported from abroad a quantity of the
material employed in the manufacture
of tapestry. Upon this canvas she paints
a design in exact imitation of the style
nnd coloring of old Gobelin. The effect
is remarkably striking and the observer

ancient and musty treasure from a for

ary water colors , the tints being , of
course , especially selected for the
purpose , while the drawing can be
copied from any appropriate pict
ure and enlarged to suit the fancy. The
nkotch hhoulil first be made upon paper ,
then placed over the canvas and the
outlines pricked through by means of a
very sharp load-pencil. This is necoa-
nary to Insure absolute accuracy in the
drawing , ns it is impossible to erase a
line once made upon the material. A
room pannellod with tapestry of this sort
makes a charming aupearance , though it
necessitates considerable labor and ex-
A now way of ornamenting a dinner-
table is to lay upon it a mirror so large
that only a wide enough margin is left
for the plates and glasses of thn guests.
The mirror is round , square , oblong , or
oral , according to the shape of the table.
On the edge is a border of ( lowers' , which
must be of one kind only. At a recent
dinner given in this city the immense
mirror was placed on a cover of yellow
silk and .surrounded by tulips of the same
hue. On the plateau itself were rows of
liver candelabra with yellow candles
und shades.

advocates trrit a rational dress mav bo
attained by wearing gowns of light
woolen material , made just to clear the

neat bonnet or hat , an umbrella that
could bo used as a stick , a gauze veil to

a costume that in every essential would
be reasonable without involving to any
eccentric departure from fashion.
Woman's Place In the World.
In a recent lecture Mrs. A. M. Boechor
said : " \\horois woman's place in the
world ? Whore is it not ? Where wrong
is to be righted ; whore evil is to bo over
come ; where ignorance is to bo enlight
ened ; where Inspiration is to Hash light
upon darkness ; whore intuition is to point
the way : where spirit is to interpret the
latter ; where endurance is demanded ;
where sympathy is to heal ; where love is
to rule ; where God Is to speak ; nyo.whcro
hand , or head , or heart can achieve
there let woman be , for it is her placo. "
The Value of a Helpmeet.
When a man becomes a widower ho
soon learns what the financial worth of
his wife was to him. When ho is com
pelled to hire the food cooked , the gar
ments made , the washing and ironing
done , ho finds that about ono-halt of his
income is required to moot those outgoes.
Who saved this expense before ? Lot tlio
cold lingers and silent lips in the grave
yard bear testimony. The family purse
should be as accessible tp a faithful wife
ns to the husband. What man woula
consent to become a partner in a com
pany in which his brother partner should
alone have control of. the company's
funds ? There Is no ono thing more de
grading and depressing to a hardworking
ing wife than to feel that she must beg
like a tramp for every cent she spends
beyond her food , which as truly belongs
to her as though she earned it as a do
mestic or shop girl.
Woman Only Wishes to Look Pretty.
It is no now thing for men to set them
selves in judgment upon woman's dress.
In 1550 Jeremy Taylor found in the sub
ject food for suggestion as to the degree
of thinness of clothing a woman might
decently wear and as to tlio proper
amount of neck and arm she might leave
uncovered ; and John Corry , in 1802 , ad
vised simplicity of dress , which he reck
oned second only to modesty of manners.
Numerous other men of mind have seen
lit to appoint themselves critics and pass
judgment upon the feminine fashions or
customs of the day. But there is uo evi
dence that their words of warning have
over been heeded. It is woman's nature
to make herself look as pretty as she can ,
and every now foible of fashion is eagerly
soi/.cdupon as certain to have the coveted
cll'eet. No doubt some of these fashions
are monstrous. No doubt they are utter
ly antagonistic to all rules of art and
laws of proportion. No doubt the women
of the world need education upon these
points as well as upon the principles of
art. When such education is generally
achieved women will undoubtedly dress
better ; but until then , or until man shall
bo ready to share his politics and his pan
taloons with the weaker vessel , which
happy state of affairs may evolve some
wonderful fashion upon which the lords
of creation shall set the seal of their ap
probation , and which shall know no
change , let us have peace. It is woman's
inalienable right to bedeck her person as
suits her fancy. She will not be likely
to give it up.

The Monologue Prow.
Chicago Herald : Frank Lincoln gave
his monologue entertainment in a town
in southern Illinois the other night. The
hall was well tilled , but the peoulo did
not seem very much amused at the hum
orist's funny work. After the show a
man with Ezra Kendall whiskers stele
into Lincoln's dressinir-rooni and poured
a hatful of coin into the humorists hands.
"Well , how did the show come ofl'v"
asked Lincoln , trying to shako oil' his
chill.
"Fair , " blurted the commiltcoman ,
drenching the lloor with tobacco juice.
"Purty fair show. "
"How did you like it ? "
"Oh , tolerable. "
"Then you have seen bettor ? "
"Sort o' disnpp'inted you didn't bring
it along. We wus a-lookin' fur it. Did

When Lincoln wont to the depot the

thosn posters : "Frank Lincoln will pre
sent his monologue at - hall to-night.
Como nnd sen it. " This explained the
coolness of the audience thc iight before.
They wore waiting for the monologue.

A Pull-nnck.
A little pull-back sought ono day
Tim Kates of 1'aradlsc ;
St. Peter wiped his spectacles
And rubbed his ancient eyes.
And thrones o'f female aiiRols came ,
With curious gaze the while ,
Intent , as ladies always are ,
To see the latest style.
The saint put on his classes then
An observation took ;
"What I what I" ho said ; "this traverses
The laws of 'musu't look. '
"Tied up In front ! Piled up behind I
'Twill never do , 1 tear I
The thing Is too ridiculous ;
You cannot enter here. "
What did she do ? My curious friend ,
She got behind a tree ;
And In a jill'y she was diesscd
As angels oujht to bo.
St. Peter kissed her then , and said :

Philadelphia Times : W. H. Crawford ,
a railroad conductor who has soon ser

terday. A fnond of Crawford's , who
runs a train on the Pennsylvania , said :
"Ono day while Crawford was employed
on the W abash , a sweeping-invitation to
conductors to send in their resignations
was forwarded by the general superin
tendent. Crawford was ono of the unfor
tunates. His resignation was forwarded
and accented , and in return ho received
the pay due him and a letter strongly en
dorsing his ability as a railroader. A
few days later ho applied to the superin
tendent of the Hannibal & St. Joe for a
train , presenting the Wabash indorse
ment.
"I see , " said the St. Joe chief , "this
letter says you understand the business ,
but makes no reference to your integrity.
Now , Mr. Crawford , if I should give you
a train , what percentage of the cash re
ceipts would you bo willing to turn in to
the cornponyv"
"Whatever has been customary with
the old conductors " Crawford's
, was an
swer.
"But they have boon keeping it all , "
remarked the superintendent.
"Well , " said Crawford , with a smile ,
"that will bo satisfactory to me. "
To Ins surprise the superintendent told
him to come around on Monday and he
could have a train , adding , "I rather like
your frankness. "

CHINESE-AMERICAN STUDENTS.
Some Account of the Boys that Gamete

Now Haven Register : J. Crossctt , of
this city , writes to the Springliold Re
publican , some account of what has bo-
eoni3 ot the students sent from China to
Hartford in 1880. Mr. Crossott , being in
terpreter of the Chinese educational com
mission located in Hartford at that
time. Ho says : "I mot Lin Poy Chucn

strrtinsr for a port on the creat river. Ho
gave mo his address United States con
sulate , Chin-kiang. China. His brother-
ill-law , Wun I'ing Chuner.is also at this
consulate. Lin Poy Chuon would , i
think , make an excellent asslstantteacher
or superintendent in an institution
for deaf mutes in Shanghai or Hong
Kong , if some philanthropist should es
tablish ono in China. He became much
interested in thoone , at Hartford , and ex
pressed to mo earnest desire to help
His alllicti-d countryhion in a work of that
kind. Who will open a correspondence
with him upon that subject ? Wong
Shing was for a short time commissioner
at Hartford , butnow , is in business at IS
Peel street , Hong Kong. In going up
the river to Canton ono passes a military
school at Wampoa , where two of the
young men are teaching Chinn Tien

"At the same office , but in another de
partment , was Kwang Chi Chin , who
spent some years at Hartford in prepar
ing an English dictionary and phrase
books for the instruction of his country
men. Ho lias never added the Chinese
half of his dictionary. Ho was not u stu

A Bright Woman's Work.
A monument of women's industry is
the Baycaux tapcsly described in so inter
esting a way in the current number of
Scribnor's Magazine. It Is over two
hundred tcet in length and almost twenty
inches wide , and covered with embroid
ery representing llstnrical ) , scenes. Only
think of the long days , merging into
weeks and months , which it must have
taken ! The scones are very spirited , too ,
even though there are impossible horses
with blue Tegs and green feet. The" work
is said to have beer ) done by a veritable
queen , the wife of William the Con
queror , If so , it , was undoubtedly a
means of passing away hours which , in
those days of no books or papers , no
shopping and no social privileges , hung
heavily upon the hands of a bright
woman. ,

BOSTON , March 10. [ Correspondence of
'tho BKE. ] There Is , perhaps , no city in
this country which has such a complete
system of public lectures as Boston. We
not only have the lecturers , but what Is
more , our people appreciate them. I
heard the other day that James Russell
Lowell was to give a series of free lec
tures in thu Lowell iustituto course , on
the "Pro-Shakspcarian Dramatists. "
Tickets wore to bo given out on Friday
morning at 8 o'clock. I arose earlier
than usual , resolved to take a morning
constitutional up Boylston street , and
avail myself of the opportunity to got a
ticket. 1 reached the vicinity of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
about 8 o'clock , and a longer line of men
and women I never saw , especially at
such an hour. In the line were men nnd
women apparently from all grades of
society. There wore
FKESH AND wnu.-Fnn ,
mlddle-agod men. and dignified and ma
tronly women. There wore young men
by the score , some well-dressed , some
poorly dressed , some tine-looking , some
plain , but all intelligent. There wore
young ladies of the same sort , but more
of them would como under the head of
good-looking. There were some who
looked as lithoyliad turned out earlier
than their want. Others were on their
way to work , with their little omnipresent
"lunch at thootrico" bag in their hands :
The morning was damp and chilly and
the crowd was naturally not very
jolly. 1 walked toward the
tail end of the line , the sub
ject of many well-chosen remarks , whlc h
did not lend to increase my good humor.
The follow ahead of mo , who was also
hunting the end of the line , amused him
self and the crowd by pretending to
count the people. If ho saw anyone
looking particularly "tired , " ho would
raise lushngorandsay , " 3,001 , 2 , 8 , " etc. ,
which ho seemed to think was very
funny. Ho came to a place in the line
where a cart had just wheeled through
and loft a small open space. Several la
dies had lust stepped into this space ,
thereby taking unfair advantage of those
behind them. A younc fellow , who knew
our friend , said : "Hullo , Bill , stop inhere
hero with those ladles.
"THKHE'S LOTS OP ROOM. "
'No I haven't quite gall enough to do
that , " said Bill , and ho rubbed the re
mark in with semi-linndish smile , whioh
every ono oujovcd but the ladies.
Well , we walked and walked and still
the line did not end. It must have boon
half a milo long. My friend turned and
proposed that we go to the head of thn
line and get our tickets on check. Ten
minutes brought us to the ticket ollico. A
burly policeman stood by the window to
preserve order. There was ono peculiar
point about this policeman. Ho spat in
cessantly. There was , so to speak , ono
continuous stream irom his mouth to
the ilpor. My friend got as near
the window as ho could , and the
"cop" rudely pushed him away ,
emphasizing the act by expectorating a
quarter section of lung. Very soon my
friend stepped too close again , and the
"cop" advanced with another disgusting
"hoick-pstchoo , " whereupon my friend
asked him if he could swim. Tlio crowd
roared and the "cop" immediately lirod
my friend into the street. A scrimmage
followed at theHwindow in which I suc
ceeded in getting two tickets. It is need
less to say who got the "second" ticket.
AWFUL ANOLOMAXIACS.
Uo wo have anirlomomacs in Boston ?
Well , I should think. In spite of the talk
about them and the fun at their expense ,
they seem to grow in numbers
nnd manners. Ton can iisll/ tell
ono. Notice a yonng man
( the word "young" means anywhere from
twenty-live to forty ) who Is dressed In the
height of Kngli.sh fashion. First you
notice his walk. Ho walks with his feet
and not with his legs. His knees are a
trlllo bent , and remain In that condition.
As ho puts ono foot down ho rises on the
too of the other and kicks himself for
ward ono step. A succession of such
steps or rather short jumps , gives him
the up and down motion of a man on
horseback. It Is ungraceful and any
thing but easy. Ho wears the latest
style of trousers , striped and boggy , with
a sharp crease bcforo and behind each
log. These creases do not
result from thu garments lying
for untold months folded among
piles of "ready made" clothing ,
By no means. That crease is the result
of very careful sponging nnd pressing
and stretching In ouo of Hamilton s
English Punt stretchers. Under his largo
cheeked Scotchy looking coat is a fancy
vest , cut very low , displaying a colored
shirt bosom with wldo stripes running
across , not lengthwise. If those stripes
were anything but horizontal it would bo
a direct insult to the kingdom of Great
Britain.
Tiir.N crmns THE COU.AH
of immaculate whiteness , turned squarely
down nt the points and done up with the
"domestic linish" the glossy
finish being altogether too com
mon. Then there Is the loud
nnd equally large four-in-hand tie , with
n delicate pin stuck in at ono side. On
the back of his heed Is a little light brown
English derby , shaped HKO a good-siiod
tea cup with thu sides llattoncd a little.
You see I haven't mentioned an over
coat , although thn winter is not yet
passed. Well , the fact is , these follows
don't wear overcoats unless there is a
blizzard or a sprclally cold snap. Eng
lish is mild , don'chcr know , nnd the }
must suit their apparel to the caprices of
his Britannic probship. Thou , again , it
rains in England , you know , and they
must turn their trousers up at the bottom
to keep them out of the mud. The
worst incongruity of the anirlo-maniau's
dress is the covert coat. In England this
is a light overcoat used to ride horse
back In and is made very short accord
ingly , but our gilded youth ridiculously
appropriate it to street wear. Its a bad
bad mistake , but it can't bo remedied
now ; its fashion scorns to bo established
hero. Wo see n young man bouncing
down the street with a covert coat so
short that the tails of his frock bob out
serenely from beneath It. Then in the
back of the covert coat are two slits in
stead of one , so that the back part of the
saddle will not Interfere wltn the gnr-
mont , while many fellows here who wear
these coats perhaps never rode horseback
more han twice in their lives.
THE X.ITTLK HELMET CAP
has become quite the thing now. It is
made in all colors and In all shapes , and
although far from beautiful it is alto
gether comfortable nnd handy for a
"round about" cap. But hero again our
English imitators are in error , since En
glish gentlemen have discarded the hel
met and the lower classes in England
L T9 taken U up'on account of its cheap'
neM , comfprt and durability.
Gloves and cane I have not mentioned ,
but you must know that they are botti
worn. The gloves , are of no particular
sort , but the cane has ceased to bo A
cano. It is now n club. The old
buckhorn handles and sllvor-hcadt ]
are Improper in the extreme , while the
trunk and roots of an English tree have
taken their pluco. This club Is no longer
used as a walking-slick. It Is grasped
near the middle and carried thus , with
the head hanging down behind or stickIng -
Ing up In front , a sort of regal wand , sig
nificant of the power of her royal high *
ticss.
Such is the external make-up of thd
nnglomanlao. There Is nothing partlcu'
larly harmful about him , neither is ho of
any particular benefit ; but he Is hero and
we must put up with him.FKANZ
