MEMPHIS, TENN. TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL H. 1871

was alive with color. Faith, Hope and
Charity, Justice and Peace, and all the
United States, grouped themselves in
their appointed places, and sang their
appointed songs; and SO the Pilgrims
were memorialized.
And there were evening concerts and
matinees, and for these / do not know
how many rehearsals. A large number
of the children were from neighboring
towns, and could scarcely have reached
home before eleven o'clock. If they
were like one little lady they were not
asleep before twelve; and school began
next day at nine as usual.
If it were not too serious it would
be grotesque. When the fashionable
mother takes her little one to the ball
room and sets her spinning she honestly
gives her Of her best. She starts her in
the life which she herself holds highest.
But we Pilgrims profess to scout all that.
We deprecate the show, the admiration,
the absorption, as the worst things for
our children. Yet here we are delibe-
rately bringing it all upon them. We
are farming out their youth, their inno-
cence, their fresh winsome beauty, for
paper currency, children fifty cents, re-
served seats one dollar. Is not that
worse than the fashionable mother2
She, at least, does not sell the gift of
God for money. If it is right to keep
children up till midnight, to show them
off to promiscuous assemblies, to set
them ON fire with excitement, what diff
ference does it make whether we use
their toes or their tongues2 What diff
ference does it make whether it is in the
fremont Temple or in the Ocean House
parlors2

sacrificing the Lambs.

The following, from the pen of the old
fashioned Gail Hamilton, appeared IN
recent number of Harper's Bazaar:
1t is very sad to go TO the great hotels
and see the little children decked in
elaborate inery, and dancing and pranc-
ing through the vast rooms, before gazing
crowds, at hours when they ought to be
fast asleep in their beds.
But what Objectionable feature of chill
dren's balls was wanting in the series Of
Pilgrim Memorial festivities lately held
in fremont Temple, Boston2 Late hours,
fine clothes, gazing crowds, intense ex-
citement, all were there; and the mothers
there were not in position to exercise
constant care over the wild little crea-
lures. When alighted before the door,
out almost upon the sidewalk rushed a
little lady, whom ] knew, to meet me;
out into the midst Of the crowd, out into
fthe cold, dark night "a tiny thing
scarcely ten years old, in flimsy white
gown and thin slippers, unshawled, bare
headed, unattended, except by a girl Of
her own age.
Half crazy with excitement, the little
chits were curveting around from room
to room, breathless and eager, unable to
be quiet, their nearest approach to stand
ing still a nervous hopping and skipping.
Presently they were marshaled, and in
deed it was pretty sightl They lut-
tered into their places, tier above tier Of
white robed girls rising before US like a
bank Of lilies; and over against them the
contrasting shadows of sober-hued bows;
and behind, and far above all, an arched
throne occupied by q single little girl,
who, | suppose, represented Liberty, or
some such virtuous abstraction, and who
kept one in constant fear that she would
drop asleep and fall of.
Then they sang and their young fresh
voices thrilled out on the air, and filed
the great hall with melody. They rose,
and It was like the bursting Of bud into
broad white blossom. They waved sud
denly their hidden flags and the lily bank

Womanin society.

From the Golden Age.l
Man was made for society. He can
live in solitude, as diver lives under
water, and a miner exists under ground;
but his home is in fellowship with man
kind. Society is the atmosphere his
nature was made to breathe the sun
shine that develops his being into beauty
and ripeness. The monk is never a
full-grown man; the hermit buries the
flavor of his humanity in his cave; the
recluse retires from the better part Of
himself when he quits the world; and
for every devil he leaves behind him two
angels leave.
Woman is more social than man.
Her affections are finer and stronger;
her sensibilities are keener and more
delicate; her sentiments are deeper and
richer than those of man. Society is
her necessity. Only man can be a
Robinson Crusoe. Only man can be
Stylites, standing forty years upon q
pillar. Ii takes men to make Trappists,
shutting themselves in a convent where
none but the master speaks; and only
once did brave girl put on mans at
tire and follow her lover into the Order,
where she lived with him unrecognized,
sharing his silent friendship, Watching
over him in his sickness, until death
unsealed her secret. Woman belongs
to society. The fbers of her nature are
twined around other hearts. She is
rooted in humanity. She reaches her
perfection only when she feels the hearts
of friends throbbing in unison with her
own, and breathes an air electric with
sympathy and vital with love.
The poor, wan creatures who incarce-
rate themselves in converts, merely ex-
change large society for small one.
Woman, far more than man, lives with
others, for others, and in others. She
depends upon others for support, enjoy
ment, direction and sympathy, more
than man. She thinks far more of the
attentions, opinions and attractions Of
society than he does Shepours out her
love upon the world as the rose exhales
its perfume into the air, content and de-.
lighted If those for whom she lives re
ciprocate her devotion. The largest part
of woman's culture comes from inter
course with others. She belongs to so
ciety as the bird belongs to the AIR, and
sings the sweetest when congenial spirits
respond to her notes.

IIOnOrs and EmOIuments 10 "a PrIma
Donna.

Mile Patti, who has achieved so re-
markable a success in Russia, has lsays
the Siecle) initiated some of the diplo-
matists of that hospitable country by an
nouncing that she no longer considers
herself bound by certain treaty into
which she had entered. This treaty
bound her to appear at the Italian Opera
in Paris on the 18th of the month OF
March, for which she would have re
ceived the trilling sum of 1000 francs a
night. But what is this to a lady who
receives bouquet of jewels on her bene-
fit night worth $4,000 francs, besides a
present from the subscribers of diamonds
worth 10000 francs2 The boxes on that
grand occasion were let at 600 francs
each, and the only drawback to the eve
ming must have been the fact that the
songstress was called seventy-fve times
before the curtain besides being sent for
three times to the Emperor's box, honors
which, if often repeated, would make
strength of limb as necessary to the
prima donna as beauty of voice.

why he would Make Good Law

One of our smart city lawyers (says
the Boston Times) was surprised the
other day by an old lady entering his Of
fee leading a vicious-looking youth.
She said: Squire, / called to see if
you would like to take this boy and
make lawyer of him" The boy ap-
pears rather young, madam" said the
lawyer. How old is he2" Seven
years, sirl" He is too young, decid-
edly too young. Have you no older
boys2" ooh yes, sir, l have several;
but we have concluded to make farmers
of the others. / told my old man |
thought this little fellow would make
frst-rate lawyer, and so called to see
if you would take him" No, madam,
he is too young yet to commence the
study Of the profession. But why do
you think this boy any better calculated
for a lawyer than your other sons7"
"Why, you see, sir, he is just seven
years old to-day; when he was five, he'd
lie like all nature; when six he was
sassy and impudent as any critter could
be; and now he steal everything he
can lay his hands on.

Earl De Grey and Oliver CromweII.

From the New York World.l rt
Earl de Grey and Ripon, one Of the
English commissioners at Washington,
has the blood of Oliver Cromwell in his
veins. The statement comes to us from
a trustworthy informant--a staunch ad-
mirer OF the Lord Protector, as "protec-
ton was then understood-who, having
occasion to call at the house of Earl de
Grey, saw handsome picture Of Oliver
Cromwell in q Conspicuous position, The
visitor having expressed his surprise at
what he saw, his lordship explained the
relationship. aAt tlt.
The fact is suggestive. Little more
than two centuries ago, at distance OF
time less than the connected links of the
lives of three successive octogenarians,
the people of England, prosecuted, fined,
and trampled under foot by the authori-
ties of those days, were leaving, first for
Holland and then for the land which is
now our own, in such crowds and with so
much wealth that the court became
alarmed, and on the lst of May, 1887,
passed an ordinance forbidding emigra-
ton. At that time eight ships, designed
to sail with passengers who intended to
cross the Atlantic, were lying in the
Thames. 1t is said in the biographies of
Oliver Cromwell that he and three others
-Pym, Hampden and Hazelrig-who
afterwards became his coadjutors and
made their names memorabl, were OH one
or more OF these vessels Some members
of Cromwell's family did emigrate, and
their descendants are to be. found in
various parts of the Union.
At the time Of the prohibition Crom-
we'll was thirty-eight years old. Nine
years before he had made his first speech
in Parliament but ever since he had
lived the life of quiet and meditative
but observant farmer, whose house was
noted as a great resort for those who
were prosecuted by the unscrupulous ty-
ranny of the king and his followers.
Scorning to yield to the injustice OF the.
times, he and his chosen friends had re-
solved to seek a refuge in the Western
wilderness, where, according to their
own views, they might at least worship
their God in freedom, and aid in the
establishment and promotion OF gov
ernment founded on principles OF liberty
and justice.
The infatuated king and his court in
thus denying peaceful egress from their
dominion kept at home their own de-
stroyers and practically insisted on the
future revolution. Had they not passed
the ordinance of May /, 1887, Milton,
who was afterward secretary to Crom-
well, might have remained " inglorious;
and Earl de Grey, instead of being to-
day one of the commissioners appointed
by the Government of Great Britain to
arrange terms with that of the United
States, would, if he had existed at all,
have been an American citizen of an
cient New England descent, as we meas
ure such things in our new country, and
might to-day have been employed on the
same commission, but under the stars
and stripes instead of the meteor flag of

Commodore vanderbilt's Car.

From the Albany Times.l
A coach known as the Directors
Car" built especially for Commodore
Vanderbilt, is very nearly completed.
1t is few feet shorter than an ordinary
coach, and will be one Of the most cosy
cars ever built. The body of the car
outside is of a cream color, with cor
nices of darker shade, and presents a
decidedly handsome appearance. On
either side is keystone with the Com
modore's monogram. One light of the
best French. plate glass constitutes n
window, the center plates being 42x36
inches, and those at the ends of the sides
of the car, 28x26. There is nothing
gaudy or snowy about the coach. The
inside woodwork is of black walnut, and
finished as finely as the cover of first
class piano. The decorations are ele-
CANT. The mountings, door-knobs, hat
racks, lamp fnishings, ETC., are all
heavy silver-plated. The car is di-
vided into three compartments: First,
the main room, twenty-five by nine
feet private parlor about eight
feet square, and sleeping apartment.
At one end of the car are two closets,
one of which is furnished with refrige-
rators, etc. The water-closet and wash
room have the latest improvements.
The car will be lighted with six elegant
lamps, in which sperm candles are to be
used, the commodore preferring' this
kind Of light to gas. The upholstery
work has not been done yet. The plat
forms are provided with neat but strong
iron ratings, with drop gates at either
side so that when so desired the platform
is surrounded with fence of iron work
about two feet and half high. 1t was
Commodore Vanderbilts orders that the
coach should not be shown, and his
xviqhas have heen REGARDED.
