MISSION OF LITTLE CHILDREN.

No one feels the death of a child as
the mother feels it. The father cannot
realize it thus. True, there is vacancy
in his home, and heaviness in his
heart There IS a chain Of association
that at set times comes round with Its
broken link; there are memories Of en-
deaTment keen sense of loss, a weep
ing over crushed hopes, and a pain Of
wounded affection over them all.
But the mother feels that one has
been taken away who was still closer to
her heart. Hers has been the office of
constant ministration. Every gradua-
ton Of feature developed before her eyes;
She detected every new CLEAN Of infant
intelligence; she heard the first utter
ance Of every stanmerlng word she
was the refuge of its tears, the supplier
Of Its wants; and every task Of affection
wove new link, and made dearer to
her It's object. And when her child
dies, portion Of her life. as it were.
dies with it How can she give her
darling up, with all these loving memo
ries, these fond recolIections ? Timid
hands that have 50 often taken hers in
trust and love how can she fold them
on Its slnless breast. and surrender them
to the cold grasp Of death ? The feet
whose wanderings she had watched "a

Strengthened TO 90 down into the dark
valley? The head that she has preSsAa
to her lips and bosom, that she has
watched in peaceful slumber. and in
burning, heart-saddenlng sickness. hair
Of which she could not see harmed
how can she consign it to the darkness
OF the grave? It was a CLEAN Of sun.
SHINE and a voice Of perpetual gIadness
IN her home; she had learned from It
blessed lessons Of simplicity, sincerity
purity and faith it had unsealed with
IN her gushing, a never ebbing tide
OF affection; when suddenly it was tax
en- away, and the home is left dark and
silent; and 10 the vain and beart-ren.

never return? There breaks in response
the cold, grave silence-never more,

THE ENDOF WASHING DAY.

What frightful sensation that i.
when you have Just got home of a cold
Monday night and pulled your boots off
to be told that the weeks washing Is
out on the line and must be brought in.
Now to do this of dewy eve In the sum-
mer, with the delicate perfume of flowers
filling the air. and brass band on the
next street, is not exactly hardship !;
but to do it in the dead of winter, with
a chilling breeze blowing, and the
clothes as stiff as rolling pin. is some
thing no man can contemplate without
quaking. We don't quite understand
how it is that a man invaribly gets his
boots off before the dread summons
comes, but the rest of 1t Is plain enough.
There is sort Of rebellious feeling in
his heart which prompts him to try to
entangle his wife in an argument, and
failing in this he sEatches up the basket,
and gees out in the yard with it, rap
ping it against the chairs and knocking
1t against the sides of the door with as
much vigor as if it was not purely ac-
cidental. If the fond wife is any way
attentive she can hear his well known
voice consigning various objects to eter-
nal suffering, long after he has disap-
peared- There is no levity in line Of
frozen clothes. Every article is as frig-
id as the cardiff giant, and the man |
who wrencaes the pin of and then holds |
the basket in expectation of seeing the
piece drop of the line Of It's own accord, /
IS too pure and simple for this world. |
But our man isn't Of that nature. He
catches hold Of the garment with his
chilled hands, and seeks to pull it of
but 1t doesn't come. Then be yanks it
upwards and then downwards and then
ldeWlse; and when it comes off it main
ans the shape it has been all the after
loon working into, which permits it
ust as readily to enter the basket as to
'e showed through the key-hole Of a va
lse. The first articles he doubles up
With his hands. and there Is a faint sem
dance Of carefulness in packing them
way; but after that he smashes them
nto the basket without any ceremony,
nd crowds them down with his foot.

the rest could have been readily under

The Asylum building, corner of Magazine
and Josephine streets, is now being demol-
lshed. Good Benjamin Rotchford, if he
were alive, would grieve to see this, but
could not complain, as the orphaned iu-
mates have been removed to pleasanter
qua rters near Carrollton. Much of the
material taken from the old building has
been used in constructing the new asylum
All the doors and windows have been
utilized to construct the new building.

Cur ThPafreS.

Preparatory for the coming season Mana
ger J. Kittredge is rapidly pushing forward
the reconstruction of the Globe. When his
carpenters and painters leave the place the
old National will scarcely be recognized.
The boxes in the parquette circle have all
been removed, and important changes are
to be made iD the dress circle. A new pro
ecenium border has been painted, of light
color, in harmony with its surroundings
and with the pure air which has access on
all sides, the Globe will be found bright
and pleasant place of amusement. The
manager promises variety entertainments,
first class in all respects.
The Academy Of Music. under the hands
of Mr.. George Kesler, carpenter and ma
chinist, is undergoing many important
changes. 1t has new pa1quette floor, an
enlarged family circle and gallery and new
entrances to the upper tiers. The company
and date ot opening have MT yet been an
nOunced.
The Varieties Theatre is in almost perfect
order 1t will, however, be frightened up
little by the painters brush, and new
carpets will be laid. Manager Owens has
engaged good working company for the
support OF his stars, and will open on the
second Monday of November.
For the St. Charles Theatre Manager De-
Bar promises stronger and better COM
pany than he brought here last season. 1t
is not probable that many improvements
will be made in the decorations of the Old
Drury, but it is safe to say that it will be
thoroughly swept out before the opening
tom.
