The wim Of onrI senur..

The VIE ~ Carl senurz,
Carl SEIZURE has always been his
wllos hero, A little girl in Ham
burg, sho worshiped tho pictured
image Of the rcyolulonist whom
she had never seen, After leaving
school she visited London, aud u
friend said, You must como to my
house this evening, and see the
wonderful Carl Schura. The
maiden came, aud In u remote corner
worshlpcd from alar the young lion
Of tho occasion, The friend said TO
Carl, oThere is u little Hamburg
girl who adorcs you M u lalFoll hero,
You must know her "llo was IN
trodueod, said the sweet voice, "Nnd
what do think no s0id Of mcY When
my friend asked, What do you
think of hor2' why all no thought
was, she seems u good, healthy girl
He didn't admire me AT alI--not
then"
He must have managed to pretty
soon after, however, for they were
married within n year, before he
was twenty.onc or she seventeen.
They came to this country TO begin
their united fortune, "lou will
hand me the bricks, said he, "and
| will build" If he has often
"builded better than he know has
it not been because Of the sympa'
thotic Intelligence, the loving heart,
the gentle, unlaltcrng hands which
have never for an instant failed him
in his lilc.service? He began his
career in America by learning the
English language. All his swift and
keen perceptions, all his varied
knowledge, his living ideas, were
locked in u e Businesses OF Tcutonlc
speech. TO day he is II master OF
English cIoqucnce, No senator
equals him in vivid, fluent, forensic
uttclanco.
Industry, Intelligence, II love OF
books, Of art and music, with IN
tense home affections, are The eIe-
ments which fill his household life
The result is visible in his own
sturdy hold upon mental pursuits,
in his various accomplishments and
simple. unblemished character. Nor
is it less visible in his wife and
daughters, or in the happy eyes Of
the little Carl. Tho face OF Agatha
Schurz turned upon me an inspiring
revelation at the beginning Of the,
season. 1t may seem invidlous to
say it, yet It's true that the faces Of
so many of the young ladies in So
ciety here are ugly before their
time. Months Of increasing dissi-
patton, round dances, late suppers,
nights turned into day, all tell their
story in the havoc they make with
the fresh tnts and outlines Of youth
and in the glance Of innocence which
should be the young souIS lnallen
able brlhrisht
There are young women under
twenty five, the daughicrsot parenls
high in position, young ladies VINO
flourish in every society column US
"belles," of course, elegant, accom-
plished and beautiful" who walk
the streets rouged to their eyes,
with close mask wells, through which
no one can trace the ravages that II
false life-not tme--has made upon
them, but through whose thin
meshes they look with a bold, hard,
defiant gaze, with lifted eyelids that
never droop beneath the most pro-
longcd or cquivocal stare,
In sudden and absolute contrast
to the stereotyped "belIe,' Agatha
Schurz turned towards me her clear
cut face, radiant with health, intel
ligence, aud every tender sugges-
ton Of womanliness. She STOOD
beside her mother in her own home
that mother in whose loneliness
not one tint has faded much less
gone out. In her wonderful dark
eyes there is fullness 'of life and
love to-day that could not possibly
have shown in the eyes of the young
girl alluring her hero in the London
drawingroom, Sixty boxes to be
packed, and then we 60" she sad
with pathetic vibration in her to' {,
that strays far below the packing
She has lived long enough IN
Washington to haye penetrated be-
meath the surface stratum OF its su'
perfcial life, to the true affections
which exist'in this capital not less
than elsewhere. Because this Is
true, the blotting out OF enc true
happy, refined home in our midst II
as vital Il LOSS TO society as th'
seat of its chief in the senate can
possibly be to the nation. Car
Schurz will be missed in the senate
but scarcely more than his home, st
full of light, intellect, music an'
affection, will be missed by Daiay
