A lady was anxious to make her hus-
band present on the occasion Of his
birthday, and il happening to fall in the
winter, she thought dressing gown
would be most useful requisition to his
domestic comfort. She went and pur-
chased a fine Persian pattern, we'll wad-
ded. Not remembering the exact height
Of her husband, she thought it best to
purchase 1T rather too long than too
short, to make sure of its usefulness.
The day was wet; the husband returned
in the afternoon, and she presented him
with the new article of comfort; and he
fancied it indeed great article of COM
fort after he had put off his wet gar
ment. But it was about ten inches too
long. "Oh, never mind" said the af-
fectionate wife; ." can easily shorten it
to suit you" They had party in the
evening, and were very merry; and ev-
cry one admired the beautiful dressing
gown. After they had gone to bed, the
wind and rain made such noise that
the wife couldn't sleep; her husband
snored musically. She arose without
disturbing him, took the dressing gown
and commenced her work, cutting off
about the length of ten inches to make
it suit her husbands stature, and then
went to bed again. In the morning she
was up early to makesome arrangements
with her housekeeper, as several friends
were expected to dinner that day.
Scarcely had the lady left the room when
her sister, good natured old lady who
lived with them, stepped in on tip-toe, in
order not to disturb the sleepers, took
the dressing gown, cut it off about ten
inches as she knew it was too long the
night before. An hour after the gentle
man awoke, and was now anxious to
surprise his wife. Ringing for servant,
he was told to take the dressing gown to
a tailor and have it made shorter by ten
inches. The good wife was detained
longer than expected and scarcely had
the dressing gown returned from the
tailors when she came into the room.
Her husband had just risen, and pro-
posed to enjoy his comfort. But how
was his better half to see her
husband in fine Persian shooting,jack-
ct instead of comfortable dressing
gown.

THE LAST HOPE OF THE TRIBUNE EDITOR

THE LAST HOPE OF THE TRIBUNE EDITOR.
From the Woman's Journal
1t happened to me, in the spring of
1S4S, to be guest in the family of Hor-
ace Greeley. He then lived in charm
ing old place on the East River, at some
distance from the Tribune Office, but
easily accessible by horse cars. A long,
narrow lane making one feel that the
city was far behind, led to the house,
which was delightfully."- situated on an ir
regular rise of ground, close to the wa
ter's edge. A pretty, though somewhat
neglected garden lay on one side, and
an open lawn on the other, while the
river flowed into beautiful little bay
in front. A piazza went around the
house where one could sit and count
steamboats, and white winged vessels
gliding almost any moment, or if he pre-
fered, he could 60 down to the rugged
shore, and sit by the water, and watch

for the wild flowers thrusting themselves
above or between the rocks. 1t was a
lovely piece of wilderness and cultiva-
ton. The air was fresh and pure, and
the view open and charming ON every
side.
Mr.. Greeley's family consisted, then,
of himself, Mrs. Greeley. and little
boy four years of age. The name given
to the child was Arthur Young, but he
was always called Pickle; name appro-
priated by himself one day, when, after
some extensive and expensive expert
ments on watch, as the fragments lay
about the room, some one entered and
exclaimed in dismay, "Ohl what pickle
that is" The child, approaching the
dramatic surprise manifested, jumped
up and down in great glee, saying, +" /
Pickle, l Pickle" and Pickle he was ev-
er afterwards.
He was remarkable boy, and the
attraction of the house. His beauty was

A JAPANESE HoTEL.-In imagining
Japanese hotel, please dismiss all ar
chitectural ideas derived from the Conti-
mental or the Fifth. Avenue. Our hotels
in Japan, outwardly at least, are wooden
structures two stories high, often but
one. Their roofs are usually matched,
though the city caravanseries are tiled.
They are entirely open on the front
ground floor, and about six feet from
the sill or threshold rises platform
about foot and a half high, upon which
the proprietor may be seen seated on
his heels behind tiny railing ten inches
high, busy with his account books.
If it is winter he is engaged in the abb
sorbing occupation ofall japanese trades
men at that time of year-warming his
hands over charcoal fire in low bra
zier. The kitchen is usually just next
to this front room, often separated from
the street only by latticed partition.
In evolving a Japanese kitchen out of
his or her Imagination, the reader must
cast away the rising conception of Brid-
gets realm. Blissful indeed is the
thought as we enter the japanese hotel
that neither the typical servant-girl nor
the American hotel-clerk is to be found
here. The landlord comes to meet us,
and falling on his knees, bows his head
to the floor. One or two of the pretty
girls out of the bevy usually seen in
japanese hotels come to assist us and
take our traps. Welcomes, Invitations
and plenty Of fun greet us as we sit
down to take off our shoes, as all good
japanese do, and as those filthy foreign
ers don't, who tramp on the clean mats
with muddy boots. Westand up unshod
and are led by the laughing girls along
the smooth corridors, across an arched
bridge which spans an open space in
which is a rocky garden, and pond
stocked with Goldfish, turtles, and marine
plants. The room which our fair guides
choose for us is at the rear end of house
overlooking the grand scenery for which
kanozan is justly famous all over the
empire. Ninety-nine valleys are said to
be visible from the mountain.top on
on which the hotel is situated, and we
suspect the multiplication by ten would
be scarcely an exaggeration. A world of
blue water and pines, and the detailed
loveliness of the rolling land, form pic
ture which 1 lack power to paint with
words. The water seemed the type of
repose, the earth of motion.-Lippiin-
colts Magazine.

Evening.

'Tis when the evenings dusky vail,
Is gently thrown around the earth,
And stars begem the evening sky
Our nobler feelings have their birth.
The moon, in silyery majesty,
Sailing adown the evening sky;
The soft low whisperings Of the trees,
as the soft night winds go by.
All have a soft, subduing power,
A subtle influence all their own;
They give the thoughts which fill the heart.
A purer. nobler, gentler tone,
The spirit, tempest tossed all day,
Amid the breakers which arise
To vex the soul, and make it fear
The darkness that before it lies.
These seem to fade with evenings calm.
Pride and resentment melt away,
And other passions take their leave
That yexed us in the day.
When anger creeps into the heart,
With evil thoughts our souls to ell,
A sweet voice comes on evenings breeze,
And whispers to US. Peace, be still"

Three Pictures.
THE FIRST.
IT'S a pretty. charming picture,
OF laughing. baby face,
Full of smiles and roguish dimples,
InnOcency' resting-pla
Coral lips and eyes of azure,
Running over with delight,
Rosy cheeks and golden ringlets,
Chubby hands OF pink and white.
THE SECOND.
Now we gaze upon the picture
OF gentle maiden's face;
Grown more serious and though tful,
With an arch and tender grace,
Eyes of azure so bewitching,
Silken lashes, dropping low;
Hair. a darker shade of chestnut,
Ripping DER brow of snow.
THE THIRD.
Look we now upon the picture.
And the brow of age is there.
Sorrows footsteps plainly written,
On her brow and silyery hair,
Eyes, so dim. seem looking forward,
To that time of promised rest,
When her wearied soul is resting
In that region of the blest.
