f EACH MOTHER LOTUS THE BEST. As I walked over the hills one day, I listened and heard a mother say, " ■ n all the green world there Is nothing so sweet As my little lammie, with his nimble feet, With his eyes so bright, And his wool so white, Oh, he Is my dai ling, my heart’s delight. 'i he robin, h i That sings on the tree, Dearly may dot* < n his darlings four, But, t love my one little lamktn more." S.uths mother -sheep and the little one Side by sido lay down in the son; They went to slo’p on the hillside so warm, Whil my lammle lies here on my arm. I went' o the kitr hen, and what did I see Butt e old gray cat, with her kittens three; I hea d her whispering soft. Said she: “My kittens, with tails «11 so cunningly cnrled, Are the prettiest things that can te In the world. The bird In ther tree, And the old ewe, she Mavl ve their babies exceedingly; > But I love my kittens from morning till night, Which Is the prettiest I c nnot tell, Which of the three for the life of me. Hove themaii so well. So . 11 take np the kittens, the kittens I love. An we’ll 1 e downb -neath the warm stove. t a the kitten lie nnd r the st 've so warm, While my little lammle lies here on my arm, I went to the garden and saw the old hen Go clucking about with her chickens ten, She cl jcked, and sne scratched and she bristled away. And what do yon think I heard her say? I heard her say, “The snn never did shine On anyth ng lik» to these chickens of mine. Yon may hunt the full moon and the stars if you please, But you'll t ever find such chickens as these. For iambs nor for kittens I won’t part with tit se. Though the sheep and the cat should go down on their knees, My dear downy darlings, my sweet little things, Come, nestle now cozilv under my wings. So the hen said, A d the chickens sped. As fast as they could to their warm feather bed* And tner’e let them lie on their feathers so ■- warm, While my little chick lies here on my arm.

MRS. DODD'S PORTIERE.

“I mean to have a portiere, sure’s you live,” announced Mrs. Dodd. “Lor, "what’s that?” asked Lucinda. “One of Mrs. Parloa’s new recipes? I hope it’s something goo 1.” “A portiere! child alive! Don’t you know what that is? They’s curtains, huDg up to the doors, and they sweep on the floor —and they’re worked with crewels, and yams and things! Lawyer Browne’s folks, over to Hingham, have real satin brocade ones in the best parlor, good enough for a gown. But Mrs. Kitchener, the housekeeper, she took me into her room, and there was nothing but. coffee-bagging, if you’ll believe it, with bits of colored cotton flannel sewed on ’em: and the bagging ain’t over 15 cents a yard.” “I don’t see the good of hanging curtains up to the doors; nobody can see through ’em.” “Lor, child, the door is took of, and the portiere hangs in its place, and looks mighty grand, and makes you feel as though you was living in a pal ce.” “I don’t believe itll deceive me,” sniffed Lucinda. “Do get the dictionary down, Lucinda, and look out portiere. I want to know how to spell it, and 1 all about it, and when Mrs. Jerry comes in she can’t trip me. How cut up she’ll be! You know when Brother Ben left me his best woolen carpet she wanted to know if I wasn’t afraid of moths getting into the house.” Lucinda took down the consumptivelooking dictionary and pondered over it. “I don’t believe that’s the right word,” she said presently, “there ain’t no such word nere.” “No such word! You’re just like your Aunt Jerry Dodd —always making "folks miserable. Don’t you suppose Mrs. Kitchener knows, and she living ■ this twenty year up ter Lawyer Browne’s ?” “I daresay she’s poking fun at you.” “Poking fun at me! Do you think your mother is a person cakilated to hev fun poked at her, Lucindy Dodd?” “The Duncans have got an unabridged,” said Lucinda, waiving the question; “I’ll run over and hunt it up.” “But don’t let on what you’re looking after. I want the neighbors to come in and ask what I’ve got a hanging up there, and I want to tell ’em ‘a jwrtiere, to be sure;’ and I want to see’em aturning it over in their minds, dying of curiosity to know what a portiere is, but hating to give in that they never heard of the thing before!” But Mrs. Kitchener, who had been commis -ioned to buy the coffee-b igging in Hingham, happened over with it the next day, “Do you know,” said Mrs. Dodd, privately, “ we’ve hunted through the dictionary, and Lucindy’s looking in the unabridged, and we can’t find portiere, high or low?” “Of course you couldn’t,” answered Mrs. Kitchener. “Why, it’s a French word!” “A French word!” repeated Mrs. Dodd; “a real French word! You don’t say so! Why folks’ll come from Oldbury and Nearfield and all about to see ir, just as if it was a whole menagerie. Mrs. Jerrv’ll be just fit to die. But I don’t know what Tom’ll say about taking the door off the hinges!” “I guess he’ll talk French,” put in Lucinda. And he did. “Take the door off the hinges!” he cried. “What tomfoolery is this, eh? Are you crazy, Pameley ? All the neighbors’ll be laughing at you. Hang your portiere .” “That’s just what we want to do," giggled Lucinda. “The neighbors don’t laugh at Law* yer Browne’s folks, and there’s portieres and portieres all over the house. I see ’em with my own eyes.” “And the doors took off?” gasped Tom. “Yes.” “Blest if I ever heard of such a thing! It must be modern progress! Why not take down a side of the house and hang up a curtain ? What’s it for, any way? It ain’t pretty; it looks like a horse-blanket. It’ll be mighty nice for rheumatism and influenzy. Why not take the roof off the house instead?” But for all Tom Dodd’s disapproval the door came off, and the portiere, brilliant with cotton-flannel dragons, Japanese young men and women, halfmoons and hieroglyphics, reigned in its etead. Mrs. Dodd was ready for the neighbors. “Mercy sakes alive!” ejaculated Mrs. Jerry, who had come in with her darning for a little gossip. “What on earth have you got changing up there? and where’s your door gone?” “That? Oh, that’s only a portiere,” as if a portiei'e in Millvillage was the most common thing in the world. “A what? It looks like a side-show at the circus, or a poster.” “Everybody don’t take to ’em when thqy first see ’em,” tittered Lucinda. “Father didn’t. Folks have to be educated up to ’em, like eating tomatoes.” “A portiere, did you say? Where’d you get the idear ?” “It’s a French word,” said Mrs. Tom, as if French were her daily speech. “It came from France.” * “Pity it hadn’t stayed there. It must let in a sight of cold air.” “We haven’t suffered no inconvenience, ” returned Mrs. Tom, loftily. “It ain’t to be sneezed at,” said Lucinda. . As luck would have it, however, a cold snap set in about this time. Mrs. Dodd piled on the coal and shivered surreptitiously. i “ Your what-you-may-call-it don’t seem to keep out the cold like a door,” suggested Mrs. Jerry, in another of her neighborly calls. “I don’t believe they’ll be popular In Millvillage.”

“They’re popular at Lawyer Browne’s and in the first families to Hingham,” returned her sister-in-law. “Well, I s’pose they have a furnace there, and the price of coal ain’t noconseqnsnce to ’em. For my part, I S&imida’t be able to reconcile it to my conscience to waste Jerry’s substance in a portiere.” If Mrs. Dodd had wished to set the neighborhood agog she succeeded; Millvillage wasn’t used to esthetic ideas, and the report that she had taken a door off the hinges and hung up a curtain in its stead seemed to their unenlightened minds the height of absurdity. “But it really does look ever so pretty,” ssid one genial soul at the sewing- circle, “ only my teeth chattered in my head all the time I stayed at Miss Dodd’s.” “Lucindy tells me it’s a new-fxngled notion they got np to Hingham; she says it’s all around there, as if it was the measles. It’s what they call ‘ Art Decoration,’ ” explained Mrs. Lutestring, the milliner. “Art fiddlesticks,” snapped Mrs. Jerry, “the art of taking cold, I reckon. Panteley had the doctor last night and a mustard plaster! I calkilate she’s decorated with a blister by this time.” “I’m afeared Miss Dodd’s getting dreadful worldly to be so took np with coffee-bagging and cotton-flannel when there’s mi sionary work to be done,” sighed old Mrs. Preacher. “Miss Dodd’s got gentility on the brain,” put in the village dressmaker. “ She wants to lead the fashions in Millvillage. ” “I think it’s our duty to get up a petition and ask her to have the door hung again, seeing’s the sewing going to meet there nest week; it wouldn’t be convenient for all of us to hev the influenzv together,” suggested the President of the society. “It’s flying in the face of Providence," persisted Mrs. Jerry. But before the week ended Aunt Hannah dropped in from Nearfield to make Mrs. Dodd a visit, as the weather had moderated. “I thought I’d take advantage of the warm spell,” she exclaimed. “You see I’m going over to Hingham next week to hev Lawyer Browne makewmy will, and I thought I’d stop awhile along with you, Pameley, on my way. You know,” she continued, dropping into a whisper as though the heirs were all at her elbow, “if I don’t jnake it—and it seems as if I was olcT enough—everything’ll go to his folks! seeing’s I’m only your aunt-in-law, having married your own uncle Rog r Hill for my first husband and my good-for-nothing cousin Tom Jackman lor my second; if I don’t make it, you see, not a dollar’d belong to yon, as I brought you up till you married Mr. Dodd! Laws is queer, you know; so I thought I wouldn’t wait no longer, but take advantage of the thaw and hev Lawyer Browne cut his folks off with a dollar. ” But the thaw was followed by another cold wave before Aunt Hannah could start for Hingham. “It won’t last long,” Mrs. Dodd consoled her, “and then Tom’ll drive you over in th^pung.” “It’s proper pleasant here,” chirruped the old lady, “and I wouldn’t grudge staying all winter, if his own folks had only been cut off. How well Ben’s woolen carpet wears, and the horsehair furniture looks so genteel. When you get my legacy—ain’t there a door open somewhere, Pameley? I’ve got cold water a-running down my back >» “Do put on this shawl, Aunt Hannah,” begged Mrs. Dodd; “I’ll stir up the fire and bring my foot-stove and a bottle of hot water; the house is old, , you see, and full of cracks. ” “When you get my legacy you can have a new one, Pameley. What have you got that counterpane hanging up to the doorway for? To keep out the air?” “That’s a portiere, Aunt Hannah.” “Lor’, I heard to Nearfield that you had a portiere, and f(slks wondered what it was like, and said they hoped it wasn’t nothing catching. I’ve been meaning to ask you about it ever since I come, but the will and the cold snap put it out of my head. So that’s a portiere, eh ? Can’t you afford a door, Pameley?” > y “We took it off a-purpose,” said Lucinda; “doors ain’t anything beside portieres, nowadays.” “I’m afraid it ain’t wholesome,” said Aunt Hannah, her teeth chattering in her head, to speak figuratively. “I believe I’m coming down with one of my colds, as though she had a monopoly of them. “I hope it won’t be nothing serious till I see Lawyer Browne; his folks would laugh in their sleeves if they was to come in for all the property. I guess I’ll go to bed. ” “I’ll just slip the warming pan into your bed first, Aunt Hannah, and build a fire in your room and put some pennyroyal to steep. You don’t feel feverish, do you?” But poor Aunt Hannah never reached Hingham, and the will was never made. “Pride goes before a fall,” Tom Dodd reflected aloud. “You paid a pretty price for your portiere, Pameley; hope you feel as though you’d got your money’s worth.” “It’s like locking the stable after the horse is stole,” remarked Lucinda when the curtain was taken down and the door replaced. “I don’t never want to hear the name again, Lucinda Dodd; don’t talk to me of portieres,” said her mother; “they" oughtn’t never to have been invented.” Our Continent.

Testing a Trotting Team.

An Appleton business man wanted a span of horses, and lie wanted pretty fast ernes, but lie didn’t know much about that kind of stock. A horse dealer had a team that was reported pretty fast, which he would sell cheap. The merchant took the team to drive a little, and got a friend in with him, and they went up the track, and the friend drove the team around the track while the merchant stood on the judges’ stand ahd timed them. The team went around pretty good, and the merchant looked at his watch and got in the wagon. The friend asked him what time they made, but he said “Nevef mind.” He drove down to the horse dealer and paid him the money for the horses and drove off with his friend, and when they turned a corner and got out of sight of the horse dealer, the merchant said to his friend: “That’s the best bargain that was ever made in this State on a pair of horses.” The friend looked astonished and asked: “What time did they make, honestly?” The merchant said:. “They trotted in three minutes without a break.” The friend looked as though he was not much surprised, and finally said: “That is not so bad, but it isn’t fast. That is at the rate of a mile in six minutes.” The merchant turned pale and said: “Why, how’s that?” “Oh!” says the friend, with a yawn, “it is a half-mile track, you know.” The friend had to hold the merchant in the buggy seat, he_ was so faint, and he offered all sorts of chromos if the friend would never say anything about it, and we presume he has not. The team is delivering groceries now, and hauling Slabs from a mill.— Peck's Sun. Thebe are quite as great objections to living in the northern districts of China as in some of the Western States.

DECORATIVE ART.

t CRY BTALIZED OBUAJQNTS. Select a good twig of white or black thorn; wind some loose wool or cotton around the branches, and tie it on with worsted. Suspend this in a basin or deep jar. Dissolve two pounds of alum in a quart of boiling hot water, and pour it over the twig. Allow it to stand twelve hours. "Wire baskets may be covered in the same way. SHAM PILLOW FOB CHILD’S CRIB. Something new. Make your pillow the required size, stuff it with husk stripped np fine. First cover the pil" low with a tight slip of silk; putting a fail puff where the white points will come. Make a white slip, just the size of a pillow, cut the edges in deep points, finish with embroidery; work button-holes in the ends of half the points; linen buttons fasten the points together. LINER CHEST. Take a common packing trunk, line the inside with bleached muslin, cover the lid on top with the same quite closely, and then between the wood and the covering stuff a sufficient quantity of curled hair to make the top a good shape; then cover the whole with cretonne or rep. Around the lid lay a wide band of some other goods to correspond, bordering the edges with cord at each corner and in the center or sides of cover; glue on large transfer flowers, round the sides lay a wide band, cord it both sides and finish off with a deep worsted fringe, loop up a cord with tassels, fasten it to the lid, a little distance apart to open it by. PASSEPARTOUT FRAMES. Trim the margin of the picture to the size required; have a glass just the size of the picture; the edges must be perfectly smooth. Cut cardboard the size of the glass, about one-half the length. One inch from the sides cut with a knife a small place in the cardboard. Cut two pieces of tape each two inches long and draw the ends through the places cut in the board, leaving enough for a loop on the right side; glue the ends down and glue a pmn.ll piece of muslin over the ends of the tape. Cut brown paper and black morocco paper pieces one yard long and one inch wide. Hold the glass, picture and cardboard together, glue the brown paper first and bind them, holding them in place at the same time. Let it, dry, then bind with the morocco paper. Pictures, with black backgrounds look nicely bound with red. For standard passepartout, take of thick cardboard a piece six and a half inches long, one inch wide at the top, two inches wide at the bottom; take a piece of muslin two inches long, glue part of the muslin on to the small end, the other part to the frame. This is the genuine way to make passepartout. I have made them for the trade. VALANCES *AND LAMBREQUINS. Mantel valances and bracket lambrequins are made of crochet macrame lace, lined with colored satin, or have a strip of satin ribbon running through the threads, finished at the ends with bows. To make the lace, use a large ivory crochet hook, apd cotton sein cord—that which is very firm is the best. I used the unfinished for a cover, ?ut it would not remain in place. Crochet a chain of thirteen stitches, put the.thread over the needle twice, put in the first stitch, slip one, then the other, repeat twice, make one chain, then three stitches as before, which complete the shell; nine chains; then in the last stitch of the first row, make a shell the same as the first. Turn and make two chains, one shell, seven chains, one shell. Turn, make two chains, one one shell, five chains, putting the needle in the fifth stitch of the first make nine, throwing the three chains together in the center, four chains, one shell. Turn, two chains, one shell, seven chains, one shell, two chains. Now make a shell of eight stitches in the outer opening of the shell directly underneath, completing the scallop by catching it in the. outer opening of the first shell made Put the three ■over the needle and make a single crochet between each stitch of the scallop, two chains. Then commence again from the beginning; in the small loops at the bottom of the scallop tie fringe. The lace makes pretty chair backs and cushion covers. It should be fastened to the mantel with small brass tacks.

The Havre Docks.

The avant-port, or entrance harbor, is nearly dry at low-water, and our tender, even with her light draught, stirs the mud as she proceeds. But when the tide is in, the large steamers and sailing ships can safely proceed to the that have been dug from the money with an enormous expenditure of land and muscle. The docks and basins of Havre are all of man’s creation, and owe their existence to his industry and perseverance. They are eight in number and a ninth, and perhaps a tenth, will be added before long. Altogether the existing docks will accommodate 2,000 vessels, and by crowding them closely another hundred or two might be taken in. The largest is the dock of the Eure, and it has a superficial area of fiftythree acres, with a mile and a quarter of quays. The water in this basin has a depth of thirty feet, and a dry-dock opens from it capable of holding any or the ships that visit the port. Think of the labor necessary for making this dock and building the massive walls that form its sides, and then say if Havre is not deserving of all her present pros >erity. An older and smaller dock wiuu this is Bassin du Commerce, which is genHtlly filled with sailing ships, and sometimes has held as, many as 200 of them without impeding circulation. At one end of this dock is the square named after Louis XVI., and on pleasant evenings we will find a dense crowd there to enjoy the military or other music, and to lounge under the trees. Beyond the square and in full view from the dock rises the principal theater of Havre, and at the water’s edge is the machinery for removing the masts of ships or restoring .them to their places. The oldest dock of all is the Bassin du Roi, or Vieux Bassin, and it is also the smallest; it wasumade in 1669, and has latterly been enlarged so as to adapt it to the ships of the present day. It is difficult to ascertain the cost of the docks of Havre, as the old accounts no longer exist, and we have only the modem figures to guide us. Within the last twenty years more than $50,000,000 have been expended on them, and the work is still incomplete.— Thomas W.Knox, in Harper's Magazine.

Bismarck and the Tardy Shoemaker.

Herr von Bismarck had a shoemaker who had often broken faith with him, despite his most solemn promises, and he at length resolved to put an end to this sort of thing. One morning at 6 o’clock a messenger was dispatched to the dilatory shoemaker with the simple question: “Are Herr von Bismarck’s boots ready?” Being answered in the negative the messenger departed, but in ten minutes there was another ring at the shop door. A second messenger thrust in his head with the inquiry: “Are Herr von Bismarck’s boots ready ?” And so it went on every ten minutes,the same question all the day through until evening, when at last the boots were finished. Never again did the shoemaker keep Bismarck waiting for his boots.

The Streets of Paris.

The strange ‘and horrible scenes enacted nightly in some pf the ordinarily

frequented quarters of Paris would make one imagine that the most civilized people of the universe had suddenly become more savage and lawless than the Kuklux Klan of America. It j is not an uncommon thing for a foot passenger returning home from the theater to be stayed in his promenade by a human form flung from an upper window and falling lifeless at his feet Nor is it rare to be accosted by a group of brigands, who pinion their victim belli. d, while the accomplice rifles his pockets. Even in the aristocratic streets it is dangerous to remain out late at night, and the police are becoming less and less able to compete with the dangerous organization of thieves, who usurp the pavement.

“Une Petite Fleur et une Raisin.”

Lucy Hooper tells the following in a Paris letter to the Philadelphia Telegraph: One hears very funny things sometimes respecting the odd mistakes made by English-speaking people when they attempt to converse in a foreign tongue, but sometimes our European friends make quite as queer mistakes when they attempt to deal with English, as witness the following incident, which happened to a friend of mine. She was at Baden-Baden last, summer, and was stopping at one of the principal hotels there, One evening miio was attacked with a pain it* le<r face, which became so severe as to compel her to keep her room, In the course of the evening an American lady friend, who was staying in the same hotel, came to visit her. On learning of her suffering condition, Mrs. X—- declared that she could prepare an application which would cure her at one. 8o Mrs. X rang the bell and requested that the interpreter of the hotel might be sent to her. He came, and she requested bin) to bring her a little flour and a raisin. He received the order without any remarks and departed. He was gone an immensely long time—so long that the ladies were at a loss to imagine what detained him. Finally he returned, and with a bow presented to them a very small rosebud in a wine glass (“a little flower”) and a single grape upon a plate. The ladies laughed so much over this novel rendering of a very simple phrase by the English speaking officer par excellence of the establishment, that my friend forgot her pain in her amusement. According to the existing Russian law, apostasy from the state religion entails severer penalties than theft or murder.

As aha Mreed away, another lady, also in RMftfßing, appeared with a dog, which was intrusted to the care of the baggage master.

I don’t mind helping a woman, but I won’t have no saffron-colored beast of obscure ancestry spewing around the floor of this car and howling for—” Just then he turned and saw his blunder. “I beg your pardon, ma’am,” he continued, stammering. “I thought yours was the dog.
