Judge s. gave his son 81 600 and told
him to go to college and graduate!
The son returned at the end Of the
Freshman year without a dollar, and
with several ugly habits. About the
close of vacation the Judge said to his
sou: .o aaH '1' ="
"Well, William, are you going to
college this year ?" ...
"Have no money, father"
"But / gave you 81 900 to graduate

"That's all gone, father"
"Very we'll, my son, ] gave you all
] could afford to give you; you can't
stay here; you must now pay your
own way in the world"
A new light broke in upon the Wis.
ion of the young man. He accommo.
dated himself to the situation; he left
home, made his way throughath the col.
lege, and graduated at the head Of his
class; studied law, became Governor
of the State of New York, entered the
Cabinet of the President Of the United
States, and made record for himself

A French Bedroom.

Now 60 to the bedroom, and
from the door absorb it with your
eyes, for never have you seen pic
ture more complete. The walls,
the hangings and the seats are all in
pale blue satin (she is fair), edged
sparingly with velvet of the same
shade, and embroidered daintily
with moss resebuds, swathed in still
paler yellow leaves. But this des-
cription, though exact, gives no idea
of the effect produced by that wond-
rous tissue of the incredible effect Of
delicacy and thorough feminine ele-
gance which il sheds around. The
room is filled with vague, floating
grace; its very detail is combined
to aid and sustain the almost fairy
aspect it presents. The bed is
shrouded in thickly y>wadded satin
curtains, inside of which hang others
made of muslin SO vigorously filmy
that its folds seem almost mist, the
coverlet, which hides the lace.trim.
med sheets and pillows, as in blue
satin, lined with elder down, and
covered with the same veil of floating
white, hanging down in q deep
fiounce over the woodwork Of the
bed. The toilet table is the same
a nesting maze of transparency and
lace, with blue beneath,o % and knots
and streamers of mingled satin and
velvet round. On the chimney
piece stand a clock and candlestick
of Sewers china. The piano is in
pale 6ois do rose mot rosewood,
which is very different substance,)
inlaid with plates of painted Sewers
to match. At night light comes from
above, where hangs lamp of Sewers
again. In our day, with our active
ideas and actual wants, such rooms
as these are typical, they represent
the highest form of realization of
modern taste without its faults, or
rather with as little Of them as is
consistent with the expenditure of SO
much money and 80 much thought.
In these rare vases, vanity seeks for
another satisfaction than that of
glare, but vanity is at the bottom all
the same the only difference is that
it is accompanied by true sense Of
art

JOHNNY'S OPINION OF GRAND
MOTHERS.

Grsndmcthers are very nice folks
They beat all the aunts in creation;
They let chap do as he likes,
And don't worry ABOUT ed ducation.
I'm sure can't see it at all.
What poor fellow ever could do
For apples and pennies, and cakes,
Without a grandmother or two.
Grandmothers speak softly to ''mas'
To let boy have a good time.
Sometimes they will whisper, tits true,
Tother way when boy wants to climb.
Grandmothers have mullins for tea,
And pies, a whole row in the cellar;
They are apt if they know it in time)
To make chicken-pie for a "feller."
And IL he Is bad now and then,
And make q great racketting noise,
They only look over their specks
And say, "Ah those boys will be boys u
Life 10 only short at best,
Let the children be happy to-day"
Then they look for awhile at the sky,
And the hills that are lar. far away.
Quite often as twilight comes on,
Grandmothers sing hymns very low
To themselves as they rock by the fire,
About heaven, and when they shall go.
And when boy stopping to think
Will find a hot tear IN his eve.
To know what will come at the last
For Grandmothers all have TO die.
wish they could stay here and pcay,
For boy needs their prayers every night
Some boys mere than others, / 'spose,
Such as / need a wonderful sight

Miss Kellogg.

The New York correspondent of a
San Francisco paper, speaking of
Miss Kellogg's recent performances
in the former city, says: She sings
as we'll as, if no better, than ever !;
but she is growing too stout for grace
or beauty. The inn.keepers at the
various provincial towns where they
stop lay it to the onitn soups her
mother makes for her, and while they
do not deny that they may be ap-
petizing and conducive to em5on.
point it is said, for some reason or
other, they object to them. Madame
kellogg has the genius of Soyer.
She can boil herring or the caudal
extremity of a Cincinnati porker
over the CRATE fire of private par
lor in such sway % to render her
self invisible tor the smoke, and to
make ones eyes and ones mouth
water at the came time atleast such
is her reported ability.

A SONG.

From the Italian.l
In yonder grove of myrtle straying,
saw damsel and child,
Ivy on his happy brow, was PLAYING
her cheeks were pale, her looks were wild
OFT as he culled the dewy flowers,
His playful gambols she forbid,
And as he roVed to distant bowers,
His steps controlled, his wanderings child.
Time passed away on airy piniOn,
When 10 [ met the nymph alone;
The child had fed her harsh dominion,
- And hopeless she was left to roam:
To learn the damsel's name strove,
And his who Stunned her scutiny,
The truant child | found was love,
The weeping mOurner, Jealousy.

NEW ENGLAND CoNGREssMEN.-AW Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Evening Post takes, for a change, rose
colored view OF men and things there, with
the laudable object of proving that the
popular belief in the good old times" is
not altogether sound. OF our New Eng
land Congressman, he is pleased to say:
"Mr. Morrill, of Vermont and Messrs. Nor
rill and Hamlin of Maine, for business in
telligence and men Of practical wisdom,
would have held high position at any Pc
rlod OF our history. In the House, when
has there been a man of more ability and
OF higher integrity at the head of the COM
mittee of Ways and Means than Mr.. Dawes?
On financial questions, not for generation
has there been in Congress an abler man
than Mr.. Hooper might be if he only would
stick 10 his antecedents. His paper on
money, printed some years ago, was one of
the best ever written in this country. He
was the adviser, counsellor aud director of
the late Senator Sumner in financial mat
ters. Judges Hoar OF Massachusetts aud
Poland of Vermont, Hawley of Connecti-
cut, Frye and Hale of Maine, are all of
them members of acknowledged ability;
and whatever opinion any one entertains of
not to lie rashly encountered, for whoever
assails him is apt to be spaltered and bat
tered"
