A Sunday Experiment.

The experiment of opening the Public Ii
brary of Cincinnati on Sundays is great sue
cess. A summer opening is not a fair test, for
considerable numbers of young men leave the
city o0 Saturdays for Sunday sojourn in the
country; yet the fact IS already established in
Cincinnati that hundreds of readers use Ii
brary on Sunday who are glad to find so pleas
\ ant a retreat, and the results of years trial
will undoubtedly show large average attend
ance. The numbers will necessarily increase
during the Fall and Winter months, when the
long and cold evenings are cherries In board
ing houses. The conscientious and well-mean-
ing persons who have SO stoutly opposed such
movements as this, might reflect upon a sim
pie problem-namely, whether it is better tn
ding back upon tEeIr own resources the thous
ands of clerks and other young men who pos.
sess neither homes nor intimate acquaintance
in our great towns, or to open to them Sun
day shelter, where innocent amusement apd
young mans resort is to bis wipe-bottle and
his pipe, and the companionship of other
young fellows, dismal like himself and eager
for some sort of recreation. In the other case
there are books TO be had for the asking, spa.
cous and well-ventilated rooms, coel in Sum-
nser and warm in Winter, and an absence o!
temptation. 1t is obvious that the Sunday
Library and Reading Room is less damaging
TO morals than the life of a lodging-house-7
why deprive even hundred men of the ad-
vantaees to be gained by opening such places
The spirit of books is much better than ths
spirit of wniskey, and the aroma OF wit Is al
| least equal to the scent OF tobacco-aud tbere
is no sense in barring access to the best, at the
risk of driving men to embrace the baser sort

CHAnIorrE BRoNrE.-A shrinkinr reti

CHARLOTTE BRONpE.-A shrinking retir-
ing, near-sighted woman waits and waits
among the Yorkshire hills. saying, wistfnlly, to
herself, "What shall do?" 1t has been
long, sore trial to wait and watch as she has
done. In her lifetime she has known not a
few of her own age who have long since solv-
ed that problem; some few are welded and
happy in their homes; others have found
their true place as teachers, writers, or artists
and are crowned already with honor. This
woman has had great sorrows and sore losses,
and her day is wearing ON into the after,
noon, still she has heard no voice bidding her
go work ia the vineyard. There is a letter
written to Wordsworth while she stands
there in the hlsrket-paee waiting for the
MasteS that is, in any opinion, the most pa
thetic cry ever heard in oqr lifetime; "Sir,'
she says, 81 earnestly entreat YOU to read and
judge what have sent you. From the day
Of my birth to this day l have lived in seclu=
sion here among the hills, where could nei-
ther know what l was nor what could do.--
have read for the reason that have eaten
bread, because it was a real craving of nature,
and have written on the same principle. But
now 1 have arrived at an age when must do
something. The powers l possess must be
used to certain end; asd as do know
them myself L must ask others what they are
worth: there is no one here to tell me II they
are worthy; and if they are worthless, there
is no one 10 tell me that. / beseech yon to
help me-" What she sends to Wordsworth
then, is poor; she has written many volumes
all poor; has waited in the market.place and
done 10 work but, at last, the Master, walk
ing there, sees her wistiul face turned towards
him, and says: go into my vineyard."-
Then she bends over some small folded sheets
of coarse paper, until her face almost touches
| them, and in one book she storms the heart
| of England and America, and in the one hour
| that was left her she won her penny From
| Robert Couyer's "1he Life That No'o Is,
| published by Horace B. FNller.

he determined to do it. Taurus quickly toss
