THE DoDDRlDdE ART RECEPTION
The class of Miss A. NJ. DOddridge last
evening held an art reception in Wiesel
Hall, to which their relatives and friends
were invited. The hall was crowded the
entire evening with ladies and gentlemen,
who found much pleasure in admiring the
beautiful paintings upon exhibition,
There were about seventy.fVe pictures
In all, tastcfully arranged along the sides
of the hall. We were most agreeably
surprised, in common with many others,
upon observing many indications Of tai
Cnt and skill in the fine arts which we
had not anticipated. The pictures were
principally beautiful landscapes, which
could only have been drawn from nature,
differing to great extent from the UNI
natural daubs often observed in collGc.
lions Of paintings by amateurs.
There were also q number of little
gems faithfully representing flowers,
fruits, etc. These last were evident
" objects OF more than usual interest to
the guests, as they were always surround.
cd by a little crowd Of admirers. Several
portraits and fancy sketches completed
The exhibition, which was certainly cred
table alike to the pupils and the teacher.
II any one Is disposed to doubt that these
young ladies possess talent to M unusual
degree, he should have inspected the picL-
ures exhibited last evening and been con-
WINGED Of his error.
The accomplished young ladies Of the
class, about twenty In number, were no
doubt much pleased with tho favorable
reception given their pictures. They
could be distinguished from the guests
easily, us they wore neat and pretty Mar.
lhu Washington caps, and were dressed
In white with blue trimmings. AS they
glided to aud fro in the hall, "blest
with each grace Of nature and Of art"
they themselves presented one Of the
most pleasing and attractive features of
the reception.

Oatmeal Breakfast Cakes.

The following excellent recipe is from
DIR. Holbrook's Eating for Strength y:
This cake is made of No. 2 oatmeal
with water enough to saturate it, and lit
tie or no salt. Pour it into baking-tin
half an inch or three-quarters deep,
shake it down level, and when this is
done it should be so wet that two or
three spoonfuls of water should run free
ly on the surface. Put it in quick oven
and bake twenty minutes. Eat warm.
1t will be as light and tender as the best
'johnny-eake," or else you have wet it
too much or baked it too long. 1t will
do very nicely with longer time if the
oven is not quite hot. If it will not bake
tn en- at all, pour it into a frying pan,
cover it close and set it on top of the
stove, when it will even bake in fifteen
minutes.

Silent Men.

Washington never made a speech. In
the zenith of his fame he once attempted
it, failed, and gave it up confused and
abashed.. In framing the Constitution
of the United States, the labor was al
most wholly performed in Committee Of
the Whole, of which George Washing
ton was the chairman; but he made two
speeches during the convention of a
very few words each. The convention,
however, acknowledged the master spirit,
and historians affirm that had it not
been for his personal popularity, and the
thirty words of his first speech, pronounc-
ing it the best that could be united upon,
the Constitution would have been reject.
ed by the people. Thomas Jefferson
never made speech. He couldn't do
it. Napoleon, whose executive ability is
almost without parallel, said that his
greatest difficulty was in finding men of
deeds rather than words. When asked
how he maintained his influence over his
superior in age and experience when
commander-in-chief of an army in Italy,
he said, by reserve. The greatness of
man is not measured by the length of
his speeches and their number.

STRONG DRINK Is RAGING.-A we'll
dressed stranger walked into one of the
saloons at Woodstock, VT, theother day,
leading little boy by the hand, and
called for drink of whiskey. The lit.
tie fellow burst into tears, and begged
his father not to drink, and the saloon
keeper, to his credit be it said, refused
him, whereupon the man jumped behind
the bar, and seized bottle of the arti-
clein question. The bar-keeper attempt
ed to take the bottle from him, and
scufiie ensued, during which the liquor
was spilled and the stranger elected. A
man of family, who was present, was so
struck by the conduct of the boy that
he left the saloon, and made an oath
that he would never drink another drop.
What a scene for an artists pencil

A NEEDED WARNING.-Rather an
interesting admonition is tackled to a re-
cent five dollar subscription to the fund
for the Kansas and Nebraska grasshop-
per sufferers. Says the subscriber: "Let
the people of those Western States take
care of their birds For years past
they have waged such systematic warfare
against them that the markets of even
the eastern cities have been glutted with
grouse, prairie-hens, wild turkeys, ETC.,
which, if unmolested, would have kept
the insects in check. We cannot de-
range natures balance of power and not
expect to suffer somewhere. A law to
prevent the killing of any bird in Kan
sas or Nebraska for five years would be
a better remedy than subscribing money
every winter for these sufferers"

A gentleman in Des Moines owns a
very intelligent little dog, which he has
trained to bring him his morning paper
from the front gate, where it is left by
the carrier. The other day some one
stole the paper directly after the carrier
had left it, and Carlo was greatly mysti-
fed about the matter. Fearing his mas
ter's anger if he entered the breakfast
room without his accustomed burden, he
secured about in great distress. A hap
py idea struck him, however, as he es-
pied a journal lying on the doorstep of
the opposite neighbor; and galloping of
in high glee, he soon came into the house
with ears prieked up, and tail briskly
wagging, with the stolen prize in his
mouth. 1t is quite needless to add that
his penetration, though misdirected, was
rewarded with bone of extra size.

THE INVISIBLE CHILDREN.-It is not
when your children are with you; it is
not when you can see and hear them,
that they are most to you; it is when
the sad assemblage is gone it is when
the daisies have resumed their growing
again in the place where the little form
was laid it is when you have carried
your children out and said farewell. and
come home again, and day and night
are full of sweet memories it is when
summer and winter are full of touches
and suggestions of them it is when you
cannot look up toward heaven without
thinking of them, or look down toward
yourself and not think of them; it is
when they are gone out of your arms,
and are living to you only by the power
of imagination, that they are the most
to you. The invisible children are the
realest children 1T the children that touch
our hearts as no hands of flesh could
ever touch them.

els back. Herbert spoke hotly; "You
are entirely mistaken Lima | have
not made an unfortunate marriage If
ever man was blessed in wife, | am
that man."
You amaze me, Herbert" Lima cried
in well-feigned astonishment.
/ do not see why you should be sur,
prised. Essie is gentle, loving, orderly
model mother and perfect home
angel-God bless her
Herbert, is that true?"
Certainly it is true"
/ cannot believe it." was the slow
response.
Cannot believe it Why?
Because and Lima dwelt impress
sively upon every word" during the
nine years of your married life, though
visiting here frequently, / have never
heard you speak one word of encourage
ment or praise to Essie. / never saw
one look of appreciation or appreciation
of any effort she made for your comfort
upon your face. Continual fault-fnding,
constant blame, have changed her from
happy winsome girl to a pale, care
worn woman. Even her last illness was
but the unspoken despair of heart
crushed under load of daily censure
and constant striving for the approba-
tion never given. And you tell me now
she has never failed in her duty to you.
There is grave error somewhere"
The sadly earnest tone, the face of
thoughtful gravity, sent every word
home to Herbert Worthingtons heart.
He spoke no word of selfdefence as Lima
slowly left the room. In the profound
silence that followed, conscience review
ed the past, and he knew that his sister
had spoken only the truth. The habit
of fault-fnding, meeting no resistance in
Essie's gentleness, had gained in force,
till all its monstrosity stood revealed in
the experience of the past month.
In the days when Essie lay dangerous
ly ill, there had been no self reproach
like this in her husbands sorrow. He
had given his wife fair home, an am
pie income, frequent social pleasure,
many costly gifts, and loved her faith
fully, while poisoning her whole life.
"God help me-" he whispered, "to
conquer this fault. Essie shall hear no
more fault finding, and if l see her
dropping | will send her to mother and
have Lima back"
Never had wife and mother warmer
welcome than greeted Essie. The chill
dren were unchecked in their loudest
demonstrations of delight. But Lima
had to rush into the hall to hide her
merry eyes when Herbert, kissing Essie,
said:
We must letmother have Lima now.
dear. She has been very kind and
worked hard for my comfort but there
is no home fairy like my Essie."
The quick, glad look in his wife's soft
eyes told Herbert one step had been tax
en- in the right direction. As the days
glided by, and Essie found appreciation
meeting every effort to add to home COM
fort, word of praise for every little tri-
umph of cookery or needlework, her
pale face grew bright with happiness.
Gradually the careworn expression was
obliterated by one of sweet content, and
Herbert found his own heart lightened
by the cheerful voice, the sunny smile,
the bright eyes of Essie he had wooed
years before.
And Lima, making a visit six months
later told her mother on her return,
Herbert learned his lesson by heart. |

her value, and lets her know it, Hearth
