THRIILNG SCENE AT A CATHOLIC
CHURCH. During the morning service
at the Church of s.. John the Evange-
list, in New York, a scene took place
that struck terror into the heart of every
mother present. Father Mcmahon,
while addressing his congregations was
interrupted by one of his assistants
handing him note. On persuing it he
remarked -" if there is lady present
by the name of Curtis, she will please
follow me to the clergyroom. adding
"tlat something had occurred at her
home since she left it one hour ago -
There was n general stir throughout the
assembly, and presently lady arose and
made her way to the front of the church
the priest following her ont. He short
~ returned however, saying the lady
who had responded to the summons was
the wrong person. 1t was some other
Mrs. Curtis whose attention he desired
to attract but as no one moved. he con-
tinued, that the child Of, the woman
whose attention he desired to attract
had been burnt to death since she left
it that morning. An exclamation and
woman's shrek of agony succeeded the
announcement, and the poor mother was
led through the crowd. A nameless
fear had kept her from obeying the first
summons.

SOCIETY WOMEN There is no class
of women who work harder, or with
less satisfaction (savs an. exch ange) than
the mere fashionables, those who are
known as " society women, They are
as much compelled to their life. by the
exigencies of their own or their own
husbands social position, as poor wo-
men compelled to work for their daily
bread. A ceaseless round of tiresome
duties and ceremonies exacts nearly all
their time, from which they can no
more escape than the sewing girl from
her toll, and which affords less compen-
sation in the knowledge Of real service
performed Society is as much busi-
ness as anything else, and requires ex-
perience, devotion, and personal quail
fcation for success. We have seen wo-
men labor at it for years before they
were able to achieve any satisfactory re-
suit. And what a continued effort it
was. No galley slaves ever worked
harder.
