'Don't enlarge upon that point, dear. She ia socially ar.d a?3thfctically impracticable;'' and t-ie speaker's voice shuddered as at the scratch of Etecl upon glaiä. It hurts me to .iniit it.

' Set a word more, Carry, or I Eh&ll confess my own ha me full lsck of moral courage. Thij whole discussion i3 worse than ' unproiitiMc. M.tnirna is mamma! All our "5rihicg and talking can not transform her "inlo our refined and gracious ideal matron. The Lett we can hope for i3 to keep her in the back ground when thre are those preset! who would b unfavorably impressed with her solecisms." Tin twin sisters b'ondes, with fair, tlulTy liair, blue eyes and s jftly-tinted cheeks, delicate cf feature and vivacious of speech eat at the library table, folding and directki invitations to their twenty -first birthday party. In the dialogue, above recorded, there was not a touch of asperity or ill humor. As a rule, they were in thorough accord with one another, and suited the comfortably-padded, perfumed world in which they lived as veil as itsuited them. ß.it the attractive, perfumed, Sblf-scoking world has made them supercilious and coldhearted. It had shriveled the love of their childhood for their mother, until it wa3 60 faint and weak that it could not accept and overlook her faults of education and of etiquette. The remembrance of her loving care and of her sacrifices for them was forgotten. They bad ceased to "honor" her whom to honor is a divine benediction and blessing. Tho adjoining room was "papa's sanctum.'' Eben Barrett, the successful merchant, preferred to call it his "den." Here ha etj 03 ed his evening cigar over book and newspaper, wrote letters that could not be postponed until business hours, and chatted with his grown-up son, who was his busine?3 partner, and with such favorite cronies as were admitted to the family upartraecta. The dea was obscure by day, receiving light fro:a a solitary window opening upon a narrow alloy and the blank wall of the next house-. A woman was now lying upou the sofa . jait bayend the library door astllow, meager womnu, angular in outlino, with faded ores and cheeks. Iler hands, bony, with large knucSlea, lay idly upon the front of euch a black merino gown a3 a busy housewife would wear about her morning work. Iler daughters woro embroidered peignoirs a la Watteau, aheor, dainty rutiles falling over their dainty hands. " ' M n. lUrreit had a headache, and was giving herself the rare indulgence of a Joanna ia the quietest room in the great house. The pleasant ripple of talk in the library had soothed rather than disturbed her, until it had turned so suddenly upon herself that she was stunned into stillness. Nor could she move at once when the sialarlv prattle wandered to other subjects. Mamma is mamma!" "Hopelessly behind the age and us!" "Keep her in the haoigr.und ; ' "Papa is eo different!" These sentences were the precipitate of the whirl of thought in which "a)theticaliy," "impracticable," "ideal matron," 'iolecisms," floated as insoluble and confusing particles. An her girlhood such t5rms were not in ihe mouths of women. She had been too busy since to pick them up. Married at twenty to a busy man, who had his fortune to make, she had, as she would have phrased it, ''kept up her end of the log." She was country-bred, industrious and conscientious, üben was ambitious. It was to please and help him that she worked as diligently at .Lome as he did abroad; had ri-en early, lain dowa late, and eaten the innutritioua bread cf carefulness for twenty-six years. She had borne six children, all cf whom were alive and healthy. She was a cook and mcdel housewife, an expert seamstress and economist, feared God, honored as a k'cg her husband, served as princes and princesses the-childreu she had given him. Years Bo she had teen that her lord and master had grown away from her mentally. The friction of other minds bad brightened and developed the powers of a naturally excellent intellect; the exigencies of business had drawn him into competition that was in ;iUeIfan education. The discovery had not 'troubled her seriously. lie was the stronger vessel. St. Paul atd nature taught her to tlook up to him.

As by A flash of lightning through a riven roof, aho saw that in service for others she had forgotten herself, and to her hurt.

back room was silent and darker than before. "Shut out in theccld!"

The faded lips whispered vit, and the heavy eyes responded in bitter tears. The mdther got up, clasping her forehead to steady her though s and groped silently from the room, lest "the girls," should sus pect they had been overheard. As stealthily she crept into the opposite apartment. The twins spoke of it as "the drawingroom." "It was English and sounded well. Mechanics' wives and email tradespeople had 'parlors.'" They had good laste those sunny-haired sisters. Their vü iters had said so often that their newly-furnished rooms were the "most artistic in tho city," that it was easy to believe this. All that harmony of tint, richness of material, well-chosen decorations could do, contributed to the agreeable effectiveness of the whole. In the midst of the luxurious space, the nominal mistress paused to survey her image in the long mirror built into the wall between tho front windows. Another tall glass in the depths of the carpeted vista repeated and multiplied the forlorn figure, in scanty black merino, linen collar and white apron. A chambermaid would have been "smarter." Her hair, thin and lusterless, was strained from the hollow of temples and cheeks, and bound into a knob at the back of her head. She had dressed it in this fashion when the abundance of the brown tresses had obliged her to twist them snugly and pin them firmly lest they should interfere with her care of house and babies. She had not abated a hairpin for twenty years, and they made a bri-tly show on their own account in the lessened knot, fastened, for additional security, wi'.h a "tuck-comb.'' Her husband, her boys, were used to her looks and ways, and Carry and Kate, amiable and careless, did not trouble themselves to alter "mamma's notions." Recalling this, the "impracticable" woman should not have marveled that she had never given two thoughts to the unfashicnableness of her coin are and attire. So long as she was clesn and neat, and had a ''real nice" silk, and l&ces for .how occasions, her mind was easy. "I didn't s'poso they minded," she said, aloud, to the unflattering reflection in the tall mirror. Iler voice was shallow and dry, the intonations crude, very unlike the lull, fresh tones and refined modulations of the prattlers in the library over there. A Parisian toilet and false hair coull not disguise her into the "ideal matron." The firit word and movement would betray her. She was forty-six years old, and might have been fifty-five, if one had judged from her appearance. ;l f houldn't'know whereto b?gin," she said truly, "even if I wasn't out cf the way ofst dyin'. Ther're in the right ot it. I'm too old to be learned." Poor soul! Ungrammatical, "impracticable" in her very lament! Her next action w&3 characteristic and pathetic. "It hurt's me!" ''Carry had ?;nd, with real pain in her accent. Since her mother could not c onfess and ask forgive! ess of her child for her deficiencies, still loss atone for tho unintentional injury to her child's feelings, she went to the kitchen and cooked a sweetbread for her with her own hand, and beat up a delicate dessert for the ' girl's luncheon." Carry had a weakness tor sweetbreads larded and both were fond of "Neapolitan pudding." That evening Kate tripped into the ' sanctum," where her father and mother were sitting, exclaiming: "Papa, Mr. and Mrs. Dalton have called. You will come in, won't you? There's a dear!'' Mr. Dalton was a man of mark in the literary and political world; his call a compliment Mr. Barrett was too 6hrewd to gaineay. But he leaned his head back against his beautiful daughter's shoulder ahd smiled tcasingly into her eyes. "You don't care to exhibit your plebeian father to your distinguished friends?" "I do!" she cried, indignantly, kissing the face she thought so handsome. I could not be more proud of you if vou were a duke! I should glory in you if you were a beggar, instead of a merchant prince. Mamma, dear, I havetold Mrs. Dillon that you have a toothache; so you need tot feel obliged to see her. I did not think you would care to go in." When the two had gone off together, Mrs. Barrett opened the big ''Webster Unabridged" that lay on the dictionary stand. With unaccustomed eyes and tracing finger, she groped her way to the word she sought. , "Solecism." Then a jumble of French, Italian, Spanish and Greek, at which she stumbled, and skipped for the English beyond. ''To speak or write incorrectly." "Mere Greek. ''Impropriety in language." . . . Hence, any unfitness, absurdity or impropriety." . . . ''The idea of having committed the slightest solecism in politeness was agony to him." W. Scott. Syn. Barbaric m; impropriety; absurdity. She shut the book. "So I am barbarous, improper, absurd, in my children's eyes!" She covered her face with her hands, and the hot tears trickled down beneath the worn hands. In that position she sat for a long hour; then, when the pain was somewhat duller, she murmured to hersel , It's wicked, it's wicked I suppose, to say it, but it seems to mo the Lord Himself is hard upon us mothers. We don't have no chance in life. What with babies, and servants, and house-keepin', and raisin', and sewin' for children, there's no time left for books and trainin' of our minds. The first thing wo know, we're clean out of fashion, and the world's got 60 fur ahead of us it's jest impossible t ketch up with it! He'd ought to serve us like lie does butter-flies and moths" and a sob broke from the poor grieved lips "yes let us die; let us die natural and quiet as soon as we've done our ihare towards peoplin' the.wcrld." "Papa'" exclaimed afine boy of twelve bursting into the room. "lie's in the parlor, Goorgy, with company." Bother! I want him to help me with this example. Kate and Carry are there, too, I suppose. And Morgan is out visiting his girl. That's my luck!" He threw himself into his father's chair and scowled darkly at the rows of figures on the slate. ' I wish I could be of any use to you, my son." said his mother, piteously. lie laughed, not unkindly, but, to her apprehensioD, contemptuously. "Oh, that's out of the question, of course; but i'ts provoking about the others." lie drummed on the slate for a moment. 'I dare say, now, an example in the Rule ot Three would be a settler to you?" Sore of heart as ehe was, the poor listener smiled faintly. "I shouldn't understand the first figure in it." "Nor in reduction?" She shook her head. 'Fractions?" Another negative. "Then" the logician's eyes sparkled "such things can't be so awfully important as the teachers try to make us believe. You've got along fifty years without them." She tried to explain that a man's work and needs are not a woman's; but she

lacked words and address to nullify the effect of a living example. More solecism!" she grosned, in mounting to the nursery. Her babies, at least, would not put her to shame. She paused at the threshold of the half-open door. Harry, aged ten, was declaiming the poem he was to recite the next day at school. May, just turned eight, was auditor and critic, sitting bolt upright in her little chair, her doll on her knee. "Honor the charge they made; Honor the Likqi Brigade: Noble Six Hundred !" vociferated the boy with windmill gesticulations. , "It's very pretty' commented the small audience. ''What is H all about?" About a big fight somewhere," rejoined the brother. "Here's mamma; she can tell us." Alas! Mamma, thus abruptly put into the balance, was found wanting to a degree that stretched the young eyes to their wide-it. She had never heard of Balaklava, that she could remember, and only surmised, alter studying the ringing lyric, that it was about a battle with the Kassians "over in Europe.'' "JSever mind!" t Loving little May, reading, f'thnut comprehending, the pain in her eyes and the low, canstrained voice, climbed into her mother's lap, stroked the sallow cheek, and laid hers, roy and soft, against iL "You are just mamma, aren't you? and Dolly's grandma?" "It's a;i I'm good for, darling." The words came with a hjsterical sob that brought Harry to her side. "You are the best mamma in the land!" he protested, stoutly. lor all that, when she had put them to bad, she sat down upon the rug before the

nursery fire, laid her arms upon a chair, and cried berselt' sick. The Dal tons had gone, and other visitors engaged the young ladies in the parlor. Papa wa3 helping George with his exam pies. Tho little ones slept soundly. Th heart, bruised almost to breaking, made it moan in solitute, each "solecism" a separate agony. The iighi, firm step that came up the stairs, the kind face at the door, :he tender anixety of the query, "Mother, are you sick?'' were those of her first born. She Lad risen as she heard his approach, he never went to bed without kissing her "good-night." The ga3 was turned low, but the red glow of the grate glistened on her wet lashes and the' deepened furrows about eyes and mouth. She laughed awkardly in turning from the tell-talo gleam. Scenes are the dread of the diffident. "It's nothin', my boy," trying to overcome tremor and huskiness. "I have the blues, and am a bit tired; that's all." He pulled her down upon his knee the stiff, ungainly figure and held her as he would May. 0 "That means you have been overworking yourself for the rest of us. Ah, little mother, how can we shew our appreciation of your long years of patient service? I was telling Grace to-night what a wife and mother you are. She lost her parents so long a?o that she does not remember receiving any 'mothering,' as the old people style it. It's a good word. It brings te mind the soft warmth of nest and wiegs, the brooding and cuddling and cooing of the bird over bei young. You must give my Grade a double portion when she is your daughter, to make up for what she tas missed." "Morgan! I can't stand such talk tonight. Your wife will bo as much ashamed of me as your sisters are. Women see one another as men don't mind things you don't know until your attention is called to them. You all love me I know. But I've seen to-day what I've been very dull, perhaps foolish, not to know long ago, that I'm not o: your kind. The best thing you, your wife, your father, your sisters, even my babies, can hope for, is to keep me in the background; and the safest hidin -place is the grave. I shan't mortify you there!" The cry of the poor wounded heart tore it's way out through the lip, and sobs and tears followed. "Mother! dear mother!" 'Yes, that's all I am all I ever can be! I ain't fit to rear the children I've brought into the world. I don't know nothin' but to 'tend to their bodily wants, to make them comfortable ' "And happy, mother; yes, better than that," the young man interrupted, almost in tears himself. "To teach them to love God and one another; to live clean lives that will ripen into beneficence to their kind when youth has passed. The harvest is not yet. .Mothers sow for all time and for eternity! And you have sown welJ, my precious mother! It's a long waitin', dear, 'specially when a body's worn out and discouraged. But you are very good to try to put me in heart again." She arose, straightened herself up, and Eut back the scattered wisps ot gray hair, te could not but note how wan and broken her looked; yet there was mournful dignity in expression and homely speech. "There must be engineers and firemen on every train, you know. And so long as you are all gittin' on so smooth and rapid I ought not to mind that the fret and work and dirt have left maras that won't wash off. I shall try rot to feel too keenly that my girls can't help seein' the truth. I'd change myself for their eakes if I could. I have always tried to be a faithful mother; I've tried to do my best. The trouble is, in ttfese timeg the best of sech as me goes sech a little way!" Tears were in the son's eyes. "Oh, mother, you have done ail this, and more too; and blessed ruit will come from your faithfulness. As I have already said, The harvest is not yet.' '' Woman's Influence on Social Life. Men, as a rule, are easily attracted by a beautiful face, but it is an internal beauty of character by which a woman can exert the greatest amount of influence. A true minded man, though at first enamored by the glare of personal beauty, will soon feel the hollo wneeä of its charms when he discovers a lack of beauty in the mind. Inestimably great is the influence that a sweetminded woman may, wield over those around her. It is to her, that friends would come in season of sorrow and sickness for help and comfort. One soothing touch of her kindly hand would work wonders in the feverish child. A few words let fall from her lips in the ear of a sorrowing sister would do much to raise the load of grief that is bowing its victim down to dust ia anguish. The husband comes home worn out with the pressure ol business, and feeling irritable wiln the world in general; but when he enters a cosy sitting room and Bees the blaze ef the bright fire, his slippers placed by loving hands in readiness, and meets his wife's smiling face, he succumbs at once to the soothing influences which act as balm of Gilead to his wounded spirits, that are wearied with combatting the stern realities of life. The rough schoolboy flies in a rage from the taunts of his companions to find solace in his mother's smiles. The little one, full of grief with its own large trouble, finds a haveu of rest on his mother's bosom. And so one might go on with instances of the influence a sweet-minded woman has in the social life with which she is connected.

Ozono ha3 an odor simihr to a spot that has been struck by lightning. Colored spots on decaying food are caused by vegetable or animal growth. Stammering may be produced by sudden fright suffered during childhood. Strawberries contain 5.8C per cent, their we:ght of glucose, and hot-house grapes 18 37. The paroxysms of those suffering from lockjaw are always more frequent and violent by day than by night. "Where birds fly very little their feathers never acquire or else soon lose their distinctive quill-like character. Inflamation of the middle ear, often resulting in chronic deafness, is a frequent consequence of surf-bathing. Dr. Elliott Cone's new list of the birds cf North America, mentions 838 species. Only about 500 were known in Audubon's time. Scientists now concede that parts of Kan sas, the adjoining States of Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska were once covered by a fresh water lake. The ruby, sapphire and topaz, are simply modifications of one substantial alumina, which, as clay, forms a great part of the earth' s surface. The fragrance of violets differs widely, being influenced evidertly by the season and temperature, warmth and shelter appearing most conducive to sweetness. One may become so accustomed to opium as to be able to drink daily a litre of laudanum, twenty drops of which would be a strong medicinal dose for a non-habituated person. All plant organs swell and contract periodically every day. This phenomenon is due to variations in the amount of water contained at different periods during the twenty-four hours. The ozone, so called, which is largely advertised as a preservative for animal and vegetable substances, i3 sulphurous anhydride, which, it is well known, destreys the germs of fermentation. Pulmonary consumption seems to bo a frequent cause of death among telegraph operators. The cause assigned is the peculiarly strained position the operator is obliged to assume in receiving messages. An English gentleman has exhibited a hyacinth which, in consequence of being under a stone, had blossomed six inches below the surface of the ground. The leaves were white, but the flowers were a deep purple. The telephone is now used with the divers dress, and greatly facilitates submarine operations. One of the glasses of the helmet is replaced bj a copper plate, in which a telephone is inserted, eo that the diver has only to turn his head slightly in order to receive his instructions and report what he sees. In case of danger or accident, lives may now be saved which would otherwise have been sacrificed. RELIGIOUS INTKLLIUENCE AND INCIDENT. There are 108,000 Dunkards in the United States. The Methodist Protestant Church in the United States las a membership of 113,405. Among the 275,000 Indians in the Uni ted States there are 219 Churches and CO,000 members. A "people's Church," to cost $150,0o) to be erected in Boston, will be the largest religious edifice in New England. Tho Methodist Episcopal Church, on an average, organizes ten new Sunday-schools, dedicates fourteen new Churches, and adds two new parsonages, each week during the year. The Ntw York Observer, which is one of the most orthodox of all the religious journals, admits there is no more sense in having a bell on a Church than in having one on a Theater. President Robinson thinks that among the very last men who should be encouraged to discard the manuscript in preaching is he on whom nature has bestowed the gift of extreme volubility. Ths erowth of missionary contributions from 18i'0-30 to 1870-80 has been an advance in home missions from $233,820 to $26,921,025, and in foreign missions lrom $745, 718 to $21,740,056. A Protestant Society held its anniver sary this year in the Mairie of the First Arrondissement, Pans, which is part of the Church from the belfrv of which was tolled the signal death-knell of the victims cf Black Bartholomew. The Supreme Court of New Hampshire has decided that the right of the pew-holder is subordinate to the right of the society to repair or remodel the Church, and, upon making compensation to remove or destroy the pew, for the purpose of making needed alterations anu repairs. The Evaneelist savs: "A brief discussion on the subject of Sabbath observance, in the General Assembly, brought out the fact that railroad shop -men are not always averse 10 Sunday work when it brings exira compensation, and that it was really an 'up-hill' business to appeal to directors in behalf of a quiet day, when summer religious meetings were especially arranged with a

view to a large attendance by Sunday

The Baptist University of Dm Moines has lallen a victim to hopeless debt. 1. he trus tees ana professors struggled along as brave ly as they could, but the funds ran so low that there was no chance for the payment of the professors salaries. These gentlemen, finding it impossible to live on hope, resign ed in a Doay. It is said that we shall have to wait another eighteen months for the revised version of the Old Testament. The Company of the Rmsers have reached in their second revision the end of the second chapter of Daniel. They are, it is whispered, making changes even greater and more numerous than those which were made in the New Testament. At a Unitarian Conference held at Liverpool Rev. Page llopps said that he did not believe that people followed the teachings of the Salvation Army because a more "hellish hell" and a more "devilish d rvil" was preached, but because they found in that army, in spite of the vulgarity and a great deal of nonsense, there was at the heart of it a splendid, beautiful and earnest elTbrt to save the drunkard and cure the wife-beater. At the Presbyterirn General Assemby, at Springfield, 111, the Uev. John Butler, who has lived in China, said tbat "the Chinese are natural born Presbyterians, and the Presbyterian system is precisely suited to their intellects and social habits." If anybody but a Presbyterian Minister had said thi3, the Assembly would have risen with a great cry and earnestly desired to take him over into Gilgal and hew him in pieces before the Lord. Graphic. TABLE UOSSIP. Marriage, is bv its best title, a monopoly, and ot the most invidious sort. Education may not prevent crime, but it ü a crime to prevent education. The chemist recognizes no suih thing as dirt; it is only matter out of place. The Boston Star hears it rumored that di vorce and perjury are American monopo lies. In the bright lexicon of youth the schoolhouse is sometimes afl'ectionately spoken of as "the tannery." The Boston Commercial Bulletin says that "Oscar Wilde was the first to discover that there were greenbacks to sunflowers." Conduct is the great profession. Behavior is the perpetual revealing of us. "What a man does tells us what he is. F. D. Hunt ington. A caprice that has gained local favor in a "Western town is for a young lady to have her hand photographed and send it in reply to a proposal. It was a French woman who exclaimed, holding up a glass of sparkling fresh water: "Ah! if it were only wicked to drink this, how nice it would taste I 'I have seen the world," says a sagacious writer, "and after long experience have discovered that ennui is our greatest enemy, remunerative labor our lasting friend.' That little girl unwittingly eave utter ance to the principles of many of her elders when she wrote in her composi ion: "We should make mistakes and tell lies as seldom as it is convenient." The consolations of philosophy are very amusing, but? often fallacious. It tells us that life is filled with comforts if we will but enjoy them; and on the other hand, that though we unavoidably have miseries here, life is short and they soon will be over. A monument of Indiana gray limestorre, in the form of an antique Grecian altar, has been placed upon Bayard Taylor's grave It bears his bas-relief in bronze, and is in scribed with his name, date of birth and death, etc., and a half-dozen lines from his poem, "Prince Deukalion," and the text, lie being dead yet speaketh." llalf the silver half-dollars circulated in Montana are alleged to hi counterfeits made by the Chinese in San Francisco, They are described as of exactly the weight of the genuine ones, and of one thirty-sec ond part of an inch larger in diameter. They contain only sixteen cents worth of silver, which is all on the surface. Chicago News. A New York paper says the will of the rich man of the future will read: "To the respective attorneys of my children I give my entire estate and worldly goods of all description. Personally to the children and to my beloved wife I give all that remains." This instrument will satisfy the family and save the trouble of proving the old man insane. Cases of alleviation of heart trouble are freely reported in the medical journals as due to the ue of nitro-glycorine in drop doses. The efiocts of the drug are described as sedative, gently narcotic,, and, in larger doses, not unlike alcohol. It would be interesting to know how soon a 'nitro-glycer-ine habit" will be added to the increasing varieties of drug enslavement. A thunderstorm havirg greatly improved a cask of bad wine in a wine cellar at Canassone, some experiments have - been made with electricity in France. A current of electricity was passed through a small cask of sour wine, and at the end of a few days the wine was found to be greatly improved in quality, and to have acquired that flavor wbich has hitherto been supposed to coma only with age. If adulteration of food or drink were treated in this country as it is in Germany we should be safer. Recently a wine merchant ot Neustadt was tried for selling as pure wine a liquid composed of glycerine, wine lees, alcohol, gum arabic, almonds, sugar, or orchard fruit, cream of tartar and water. He was convicted on the testimony of analysis and sentenced to pay a fine of 2,000 marks (nearly $400) and all costs, to be imprisoned at hard labor for three years and a half, and to forfeit 00.000 bottles uf his alleged "pure wine," being the entire stock unsold in cellar. The defendant claimed that the liquor was a "workman's wine." and was manufactured for them, and for distribution to the poor." , Daunted Me. A workingman says: "Debt, poverty and suffering haunted me for years, caused by a sick family and large bills for doctoring, which did no good. I was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by the advice of my pastor, I procured Hop Bitters and commenced their ue, and in one month we were all well, and none of u.-. luve been sick a day since; and I want to say to all poor men, you can keep your families well a year with ilop Bitters for less than one doctor's visit will cost." Christian Advocate. The Grand Central Hotel, Broadway, New York City, ia the "Grand Central" in fact as wellas in name, being more centrally located than any other first-class hotel in New York City. It is in easy access to every point of interest or bnsinesa in the city.
