HouSSaye Still Harpine on Women.
[Arsene Houssaye's Paris Letter to the New
York Tribune


TArsene Houssaye's Paris Letter to the New
York Tribune
Certain prurient Puritans have accused me
of having recounted too alphabetically the
victories and contests of my heroes. But
had to relate their exploits to account fol
their victories, their temptations to explain
the sins. 1t is the lapses Of certain women
which set in relief the virtue of the rest.
Who is there, even among the most inaccessi-
| BILE, who has not had her hours of danger:
After the storm the lily rises purer and
whittier, the pearly dews of Heaven is in its
calyx. So when woman passes through
temptation without yielding she is all the
more virtuous. The dew OF Heaven is the
sentiment of Gods blessing shining in her
soul.
Women are often given up to the spirit OF
evil for lack of action. To labor is to wor-
ship; | have not painted the women who
labor To live for ones children is to live to
God; | have not in these studies referred to
mothers of families. To bear the cross is to
follow the road to Heaven; I have not re-
ferred to the holy women Of the cloister. The
women whom paint are the pretty idlers of
life, who are neither saved by labor, nor by
the family, nor by religion. They are the
queens Of the world and the slaves of their
passions. But all these charming figures
their crowns at the feet of love. More than
one bear it proudly, for virtue preserves a
pride of expression. More than one wear it
simply because they have seen the shipwrecks
all around them, and they know the strength
and vigilance necessary for safety.
In the eyes of the philosopher, the woman
who traverses for quarter of a century the
pleasures of Paris without moistening her
lips at the cup is a saint, and she who casts
the first stone at a sister is presumptuous.
Every woman has her mission. There are
women who seem sent upon earth to spread
a fragrance of divince grace. Like the an
c!ent vestal they watch at once over their love
and their innocence. The cradle of their
children is their refuge in days of trial, and
the joys of final triumph are better than any
which sin can bring. And among those who
sin, how many there are who pay for it by
cruel, expiations, tears, prayers, bushes in
secret, the smiles that die away from the sor-
rowing mouth, the despair that takes up the
dwelling in the heart. The woman who re-
penis of her first transgression is alre ady par
doned in Heaven and deserves the pardon of
men.
All, if women would only think how barren
are forbidden pleasures, and how hallowed
are the joys of the sacred home. A child is
poetry in action, its golden hair, its rosy face
is heart which does not deceive, the light of
Heaven about it, rich in memories and hopes, |
point of union between the shore which is |
aiding and the horizon which draws near. |
The true ideal of woman is the darling model |
If medieval art, the Divine Childhood in the |
rms of Immaculate Maternity.

TDTTY.S ARITHMETIC.

One little head, worth its weight in gold,
Over and over a million times told.
Two shining eyes, full OF innocent glee,
Brighter than diamonds ever could be.
Three pretty dimples for fun to slip in,
Two in the cheeks and one IN the chm.
-Four lily fingers on each baby hand,
Fit for princess Of sweet Fairy-land.
Five on each hand if we reckon Tom Thumb
Standing beside them, so stiff and 80 glum
Six pearly teeth just within her red lips
Over which merTlment ripples and trips.
Seven bright ringlets. yellow az gold,
Seeming the sunshine to gather and hold.
Eight tiny waves running over her hair,
Sunshine aad shadow they love to be thera.
Nine precious words that Totty can say;
But she will learn new ones every day.
Ten little chubby, comical toes:
And that is as far as this lesson goes.

The Innocent Boy.

The Vicksburg boy can stand up with any
other boy in the world against an accusation.
The other day, when Ylcksburg mother dis
covered sugar on the pantry shelf, she called
to her boy and said:
''Some one has been stealing this sugar"
''Is it possible?" he exclaimed, rolling up
his eyes in establishment.
Eyes, it is possible, and the thief is not far
away, either"

A few days ago it was decided by the trus-
tees OF certain church of this city to have
the editice cleaned. committee of six gem
tlemen volunteered TO beat the cushions, and
they took them into vacant lot and exercised
their muscles for about two hours. They
then voted the job well done and placed them
in the pews again. The next thing in order
was the sweeping OF the church, and when
this part of the job was finished, the commit
Tee found to their disgust that there WAS more
dust in the cushions than when they We're

affair remarked that it was just like men.
