American Girls.

A French traveller, who has recently
passed some months OH this side of tho
Atlantic, furnishes the RcUuc aes Dcur
Moneles quite lengthy sketch Of life
aud manners in America. Without
comment We give that portion Of his
sketch in which reference is made to
tho mann ers and customes of the
average American girl. We imagine,
however, that the picture drawn will be
readily recognized. The writer says:
The young American girls only We

are as free as can be. Fortunately their
exaggerated love Of pleasure is check ed
by calculating temperament, whic h
saves them from many fall Then

They do not, however, prevent man y
abuses, and fast young ladies are by no

During the day they go with some
friends or with the escort of him VI ho
has the privilege to hirt with them to
the Central Park. In winter they go
slelGhing and skating, and air their
curiosity in all the stores of Broadway.
There they get all sorts of goods spread
out before them; they ask the price Of
each and buy none. The impassiyc
salesman does not show the least sign of
discomfort. There is peculiar word
Tor that singular custom. 1t is shop
ping. Another custom which is largely
practiced by American ladies i, to enter
conie otlonery shops and take ice creams
at every opportunity. * X

How a Little Boy Died.

A Virgin ia City (NcvD paper has
this little paragraph Little Eddie
Nyc, who was run over by fat car last
evening, an d was so badly injured that
he died next morning, was rare bright
child, and Ione Of the best children in
the city. Just before he died he sang
The beautiful River, with il voice as
sweet as though he had caught the tones
from the softer shore, on the brink O.
which his spirit was then trembling.
After the song he repeated a little
prayer WHICH his mother had taught
him. The child all his life had a lisp,
but his last prayer fell from his tongue
without halt or quavcr, but rathc
st cady and clear, and yet with a far of
tone, as though anothcr's voice OF
infinite sweetness had seized upon hi 5
lips in the supreme moment, to leave an
echo in his unSiished mothers ears
which should last as long as life. Short
ly after the little prayer, the sunny eye
closed and little Eddie was gone. Ga
Sunday his funeral attracted the whole
