From the Graphic.
A little Italian woman, with a child in
her arms, hurried through the gate of the
Roosevelt street ferry-house Tuesday
evening, and a moment later was scarce
ly discernible in the dark shadow of the
corner in which she sought shelter. She
was lily clad, and the major portion Of
the thin, bright.colored shawl that Gov
cred her head and shoulders was wrapped
lovingly about the babe in her arms.
Her dress of calico was worn, faded, and
patched in places until the original pat
tern was little more than patch it.
self; yet there we're no tattered ends, no
rags. The child nestled close to the
mother, aud babbled in a subdued man
ner, scarcely audible few feet away
When the boat entered the slip the
mother was the first to go on board.
Welldressed men and women, and
children clothed in garments of rich,
warm texture, filed the cabins, and the
little Italian woman attracted no atten-
ton, but remained crouched in the
further corner of the forward cabin,
probably unseen by more than the two
or three persons Immediately surround
ing her. Hardly had the boat left the
slip when the chatter incident to pub
lie conveyance was arrested by the sing
ing of the first lines of the ballad,
T" Kathleen Mavourneen." A moment
later men ceased reading their papers
and listened. All eyes were turned to
the Insignificant figure in the dark cor
ner, When the song ceased a perfect
storm Of applause was givep, and in re-
turn the woman sang one of her own
native airs, touching ballad, of one
whose home and friends were far away,
while she, the child widow, mournfully
called on the sea to give back her dead.
Her voice was marvelously sweet and
clear, and the air, rendered as it was
with spbdued stress, was very effective.
Several women sobbed aloud, while
there we're not few men present who
coughed suspicsously and turned their
faces aside for a moment, using their
handkerchiefs very energetically. That
woman left the cabin richer by a score
of dollars, for as she glided through the
crowd with outstretched palm bank
notes and loose change were pressed
into her hand in lieu Of the pennies
usually cast to mendieants, for she was
but a beggar. She related her story sub
sequently to a gentleman, who made in
duiry into her life. She was educated
for public singer in her native city,
Genoa. Her father was ehorister Of
popular church. -Four years ago she
fell in love with an American who was
visiting Genoa. Her father opposed
the attentions Of the Tourist, who be
said was dissipated. It was the old

Alas for veilsl From the tiny infant
in the nurses arms to the ancient widow
in her weeds, the whole sex is veiled.
Wells answer many purposes. They
conceal defects, they highten beauty,
they cover grief and so we see a whole
race of women of every age, style and
condition laying foundations for dis
eases of the eye through an almost
needless fashion. These binders are of
every conceivable style, from the white
dot on the child to the English Grape on
its grandmother. The best oculists give
testimony against this wholesale wear
ing of wells, and we think they should
make protest against it, even at the risk
of injury to their calling. At least let
the mothers of to-day look to it
that they will be held responsible, in
another generation, for suffering their
little ones to go yelled as the matrons
of past generation were for allowing
tight lacing and all the evils which that
distressing practice entailed.

Journalism In England.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
When, some years ago, the press was
called the fourth estate, that title seemed
too large and presumptuous, but nobody
can think it inappropriate now. The
power of the press is enormous, and it
goes on increasing year by year, while
the force of no other form of persuasion
or authority Except the law is fully
maintained, perhaps Therefore, un-
less it continue to be controlled by a
patriotic, judicial and lofty spirit-if it
become the instrument Of club arrange
ment and parlor conspiracies-inasmuch
as it becomes the tool of secretaries, of
demagogues, of TIE foul furieux, of SER
vile capitalists with drawing rooms to
conquest, or even of the raging sim
cere pedants who are now begin
ming to infest it, the press will
soon be not only an enormous power,
but an enormous peril. We confess
that, for several years past, we have
been oppressed with an apprehension
that the time was nigh when this danger
wauld appear unmistakably; but the
events of the last fortnight have shown
that its time is not yet. After gay and
glorious period of service journalistic
hunkeydom meets with its reward. 1t
retires from the dickey-epaulets, stick,
buttons and all-with the painful con-
sciousness that ribald public has been
laughing at the straw in its magnificently
padded calves for a long time. The
people generally, we find are as ready
to detect insinceriy and bombast, as
ready to contemn the come-for-to- go.for-
to-fetch-f fort carry gentleman of the
press, with all his inspirations and emo
tions. as may well be desired.

story from that point. She fed with
her lover, and few months later he de-
serted her. By selling her jewelry she
paid an emigrant passage to New York.
Her baby was born on board ship. She
had searched the streets for the man she
believed was her husband until she had
no hope left. Even if she found him
he might repulse her. Her baby was
sick, and in devoting herself to its care
she had lost her work. Now she was a
beggar No, she would not give her
name; her friends should never know
her fate.

A DRINKING SONG.
BY H. W. LoEGFELLow.

BY H. W. LoEGFELLow.
Come. old friend, sit down and listen
From the pitcher. placed between us,
How the waters laugh and glisten
In the head of old Silenus.
Old Silenus, bloated. drunken,
Led by his inebriate satyrs;
On his breast his head is sunken,
Vacantly he lters and ehatters.
Round about fair Bachantes,
Bearing eymbals flutes and thyrses,
Wild from Naxian groves or Zante's
Vineyards, sing delirious verses.
Thus he won, through all the nations,
Bloodless victories, and the farmer.
Bore as trophies and oblations.
Vines for banners, plows for armor.
Judged by no o er jealous riSor.
Much this mystic throng expresses;
Bacchus was the type of vigor.
And Silenus Of excesses.
These are ancient ethnic revels
OF faith long since forsaken
Now the satyrs, changed to devils.
Brighten mortals, wine o'ertaken.
Now to rivulets from the mountains
Point the rods of fortune tellers,
Youth pei petual dwells in fountains,
Not in TASKS and casks and cellars.
Claudius, though he sang of fagons.
And huge tankards filled with Rhenish.
From that fiery blood of dragons
Never would his own replenish.
Even Redi. though he chanted
Bacchus in the Tuscan valleys.
Never drank the wine he vaunted
In his dithyrambic sallies.
Then with water fill the pitcher,
Wreathed about with classic fables;
Meier Talernian threw a richer
Light upon Lucillus' tables.
Come. old friend, sit down and listen;
As it passes there between US.
How its wavelets laugh and glisten
In the head of old Silenus.
