Clara LOuise's First Puff.
From the Home Journal,


Everything of personal nature re-
lating to the prima donna, Miss Kel-
logg, seems to be of interest, she being
the first American singer educated in
this country. We learn from para.
graph going the rounds Of the press
that Clara Louise is the only surviving
child of George Kellogg, who was born
in New Hartford, Connecticut, in 1912.
and graduated from the WESLEYAN Uni
versity in 1887. From 1888 to 184l he
was principal of the Sumpter College
in South Carolina. He became noted
as an inventor of various improvements.
and as a manufacturer, which business
he followed in Birmingham in 1869.
His wife was Miss Jane Elizabeth Cros-
by, of Middletown. The writer well
remembers the early career of the now
famous and favorite prima donna. She
was the protege of Colonel Henry G.
Stebbins, and the first newspaper arti-
Gle that was written of her of anv con-
sequence was from the pen of N. P.
Willis, and appeared in the Home
Journal Mr.. Stebbins escorted the
modest and bashful but gifted young
singer to Willis home on the Hudson.
and the poet immortalized her IN one of
his famous Idlewild letters.

CHLDREN'S CORNER.
me Little Girl that Meets Me.


The Little Girl that Meets Me.
There's a little girl that meets me,
And with laughter ever greete me,
And to kiss her oft entreats me,
As I stray
Long the path of life so dreary
Where the saddened heart and weary
Shades the sunlight, shining near me,
On my way.
She has eyes as blue as Heaven,
Only aged about eleven:
But unto her God has given
Such a heart
That forever she is singing,
And her sweet voice ever ringing,
Beauty Ger the wrapt heart bringing,
Sweet as art.
With her sunny hair, so curly;
With her teeth, so white and pearly,
1 have met Der late and early
By the way:
And take her hand, and press it
In my own, just to caress it
Pretty little hand-God bless it ~
do say.
May the world smile kindly on her,
Benediction fall upon her,
Angels be her guard of honor,
AS she goes
Through this world of ours, singing,
Peace to troubled spirits bringing,
No grief her poor heart is wringing
With its woes.
MAY the sweetest harp In Heaven
Brightest crown that eer was given,
Where the waves of life are driven
Past the throne,
Echo to her dainty finger,
Pom her pure brow ever hnger,
While each angel is a singer,
Calling home!

THE latest novelty in divorce juris-
prudence comes from London, where a
woman met the petition of her lord
with the plea that she had been led into
evil solely through the plots of an agent
employed by her husband to watch her
movements. Her defence met the APP
proval of Lord Penzance, who decided
that the husband was responsible for
the acts of his agent.
