Awful Revelation Regarding Shake

in a most uncnyiable light. representing

Il man habitually given to murder, and
lei by this balefll proclivity to the
deeper guilt Of constantly maltrcating
Mrs. Shakespeare and keeping late
hours with pot-house companions.
1t is alleged that these facts have
transpired at this late period, by rea-
son of the discovery of an old manu-
script by the Chcrstows, giving the
substance Of conversations between
one Mrs. III. Il. Cherstow and Mrs.
Shakespeare, q short time before the
death Of the latter.

which he sometimes called an elder
tree, as convenience suited. His daugh-
ter was his fiendish acconplice in this

Miscellaneous.
School Girl Peculiarities.


One must always regret that law OF
growth, which renders il necessary that
kittens should spoil into demure cats.
and bright, bounding, joyous school
girls develop into the insane. spiritless.
erystalized beings denominated young
ladies'. For nowhere. among women.
do we find such life. spontaneity nd
intellectual ardor as we see in the
schoolgirl. who passes her days amid
books and in happy converse with her
equals. She abounds in faults and
crudities. but her very extravagancies
are refreshing. after the flat platitudes
and tame subserviencies which meet US
in the social world. The frank ego
tism, the exaggeration Of trifies, the
ignorance of all that we call tact and
worldly knowledge which she displays.
suggest only that happy freedom from
conventional restrains in which she is
privileged to dwell.
In the schOolroom she has a world
of her own. whose modes and customs
are quite independent of outside infl-
ences. Like the rest of her sex. she
accepts prevailing fashions in dress,
bnt appends thereto many little quirks
and flourishes which must ever remain
nlystery 10 the uninitiated. She
fastens tiny knot of ribbon to an ear
ring or button-hole, gives peculiar
toss to her scarf-ends, and tips her hat
brim at an unexpected angle. On
current literature she holds opinions
which ignore entirely the judgment of
critics. Certain pure-toned, sentimen-
tai novels go circulating up and down
among her companions long after the
world has forgotten them; and they
are read and re-read with unabated de-
light. She would fly through fire and
water for any of her own sex who have
made themselves famous in authorship.
and there are few literary heroes to
whom she pays unstinted homage. She
is sure 70 hear Curtis when he lectures,
and still consider him the Adonis Of
literature; though the author of the
"Howadji" and 1.-The PotipLar Papers
bas been soaring Of late almost beyond
her ken, into the region of politics and
reforms.
Her material tastes reveal them
selves in great fondness for picked
lines and special kinds of sweetmeats,
fresh supply Of which is always furn-
ished by generous members when les
sons are over, and they are free to re-
gale themselves with earthly joys in
the shape Of gumdrops and tafty.
