MOTHERS BOY.

Yes, know there are stains on my carpet
The traces of small muddy boots;
And | see your fair tapestry glowing
And spotless with blossoms and fruits.
And know that my walls are disfgured
With prints of small fingers and hands;
And see that your own household whlteness
And fresh in its purity stands.
Yes, know that my black walnut is battered
And denied by many small heels,
While your own polished stairway, all per-
feet,
Its smooth, shining surface reveals!
And know that my parlor is Uttered
With many odd treasures and toys;
While your own is in daintiest order,
Unframed by the presence of boys.
And know that my room is invaded
Quite boldly all hours of the day;
While you sit in your own unmolested,
And dream the soft quiet away.
Yes, know l have jackets that wear out,
And buttons that never will stay,
While you can embroider at leisure,
And learn pretty arts of "crochet
And know there are lessons of spelling,
Which must be patient to hear;
While you may sit down to your novel,
Or turn the last magazine near!
Yes, know there are four little bedsides
Where must stand watchful, each night;
While you may go out in your carriage,
And flash in your dresses SO bright
Now, think I'm neat little woman
l like my house orderly, too;
And Pm fond of all dainty belongings
Yet l would not change places with you.
No Keep your fair home, with its order,
Its freedom from trouble and noise;
And keep your own fanciful leisure;-
But give me my four splendid boys.

Miss NELLIE GRANTS APPROACHING
MARRIAGE.-Miss Nellie Grants engage
ment is one of the leading topics of socie-
ty chat here. 1t will be remembered that
Fanny kemble, the tragedienne, who mar
ried' Mr.. Pierce Butler, of Philadelphia,
and was afterwards divorced from him,
had younger sister who evnced a great
talent for music. She studied in Italy and
Paris, and made q sensation at several con-
certs, but before she was fairly on the
stage as prima donna she was woed and
won by Mr.. Sartoris, a rich Englishman of
an old family. Now, when Miss Nellie
Grant returned from Europe last year she
made the acquaintance on the steamer OF
the second son of this Mr.. and Mrs. Sarto-
ris, and the intimacy ripened into affection.
Just then the older brother died and the
fortunate swain thus becomes the heir to
the SartoIs estate. Ii is intimated that
the marriage will come off in the Spring,
and at the same time Colonel Fred Grant
will marry Miss Kitty Cook, the eldest
daughter of the Ex-Governor of this Dis
trict.- Washington Special to the Herald.

giant wrongs still stand up grim and
hoary. There is enough in the very air of
our times to nerve the weakest to action.

they gave freedoms cause an impulse it
never received before. The peal Of that
old State house bell in Philadelphia has
shaken every throne in Europe, it has tum-
bled oppression from its seat Us well by
the Danube as by the Delaware; it has
opened the doors OF long shut prisons with
sound that has rung around the world
In short the influence of American ideas
has rcvoutionized the principles OF govern
ment the world over. For ages it was
kings and the people for slaves; now the
idea is slowly gaining form that govern
ments are for the good Of the people.
The hope of the worlds future rests
upon American repubicanism and English
liberalism. The two must be the powers

Thought has already done much toward
breaking down the bitterness and prciu-
Dies of the past; it will do much more in
the future. Our legislators, our ministers
are alike losing their influence. To-day
the great power Of America is the press.
and the only power that can control the
press is the school and the intelligence it
inculcates.
The teachers of America are doing d
grand work, i'll paid. ill-apprec;ated, though
they may be, but SO it has ever been; those
who have done carths grandest work have
been least appreciated. Look at the past:
which are its greater names ? Its teachers
or its conquerors. its Alcnns its Gerberts,
its Erigenas, Or its Tancreds, its Baldwins
OF its Richards, the bencfactors OF the
curses Of their ages? Those boys and

Ursula Gotta, feeding the street singer, is

demands the help Of all to carry on the

most important is education. Only through
this can America hope to escape the fate of
Greece and Rome, only by this means can
we make our future secure. Let us then

unconscious state. 1t was pro-
posed to take him to the station
house and try to resucitate him,
but the local officer who was pres
ent decided that the man was
dead, and ordered the body given
up for dissection. 1t was accord
ingly taken to the anatomical mus
cum and placed upon dissecting
table. Suddenly the man recov.
cred his consciousness and cried
out, "Where have been takenY'
You have been carried to the

One of the students at the Ren
selaer Institution, in Troy, was
Sephen Alexander. He was 6
noteworthy beau among the many
Troy girls who dote on the stu
dent, gaining n reputation for gen
erosity and literary taste by his
numerous presents of books.
These he scattered with excessive
liberality among his female ac-
quaintances, the volumes usually
being costly works. He was an
artist, too, and taught drawing in
a local academy. Religious to u
marked degree, and protesting
exalted social relations, Mr.. Alex
ander was altogether regarded as
n very nice young man, and most
desirable for q husband. He is
now in Jail, however, for burglary
and larceny. All the books which
he gave away were stolen from
three book stores, one of which he
entered by a rope ladder suspend
ed from a roof.
