What change, with happiest thrill my pulse may
start,
or all the unnumbered changes that view
In these brieflingering moods Of heavens deep
heart.
These lirelcss pilgrims OF the buoyant blue.
Is 1t when drousily through hacyon air
They noat in pillowy 1eeces chaste as snowF
Or when against the horizon they loom fair
In towering Alpine peak and pale plateau;
Is it when shadowy as the vaguest dream,
Their peary gossamers film the skies afarf
Or when like isles in quiet seas they gleam'
Purple below the tremulous evening star:
Or yet when beauteous dawn with rosy speed,
Supders their drapery where it darkly falls:
Or when from earth to sunset lands they lead,
As stately stairway to imperial halls
Or when, like scales on fabulous dolphins' backs,
They ncck with lovcliest color evening gray
Or when they move in grim tempestuous wrack''
And through them Jayclns orhot lightning play
Ali, no whatever of JOY such changes wake
That change above all others my soul sets,
or when, beneath some full-orbed moon they make
On sapphire calms their ghost!y silhouetes.
For then as through this dubious gloom they stray,
Spirits they seem, with garments futtering white,
Whose noiseless feet in some miraculous way
Walk the great awful emptiness OF night.

The East RiUer Bridge.

The n. Y. EUenmg Post says: The
work oi stretching the second foot bridge
cable Of the East River Bridge was begun
on Saturday morning, and by Saturday
evening it was extended from the Brook
Ism 10 the New York tower. Two four
and half inch MANILA ropes were used
as carriers. Fearing that the engine on
the New York side would not be sufli-
ciently powerful 10 raise the cable, which
is enormously heavy, superintendent
Harrington pressed the small sixteen
horse power engine on the Brooklyn side
into the service also, and at 1880 a. NJ.
the work of hosting was begun. The
cable was lashed to carrier ropes at inter
walls of fifty feet, precaution that occu-
pied considerable time. At the end OF
the days work the cable was suspended
across the river, and Monday morning
the work OF carrying it TO The New York
anchorage and securing it there was
begun. The other end of the cable will
be made fast at the Brooklyn anchorage.
When this work is finished, eight cables
will ba in position, and two more will
complete the number necessary Tor the
temporary foot bridge. The foot-bridge
has been built in sections. each forty feet
long, which will be placed in position as
soon as the cables are laid. /! is expected
that this will be in position in about FIVE
weeks. Work will then be begun upon
the huge cables which will support the
main bridge, and will be pressed forward
as rapidly as possible.

Some Advice AJom School Dress.

Some AdUice .1bOW School Dress.
Ii there is one place more than another
where simplicity should characterize
dress, it is the schoolroom. The object
for which children are here gathered IS
certainly not the display of the wealth or
tenderness of their parents. Anything
which diverts the attention OF the pupil
from his school duties is an injury to
him, but it will accord with the observa-
ton of teachers that fine clothes oftener
work mischief to their wearer than
mean clothes do. The highest minded
children are ottenes. found in plain garb.
while those be-ringed and be.ruflied and
otherwise showily attired are generally
quite destitute of intellectual home cul-
ture. Their mothers have been too busy
with their clothes to pay much attention
to their brains. This sounds severe;
would it were not true. w While over-at-
tention to toilet matters is q hindrance TO
study. negligence and untidiness are as
carefully to be avoided. Clean clothes.
plainly made, need not be expensive.
either of time or money. and a proper
regard to personal cleanliness in all its
details is what every person owes to
himself or his associates. 1t is very de-
sirable that the pupil should have at
least two school suits, for in the crowded
schoolroom the clothing soon becomes
saturated with the exhalations floating
in the atmosphere. and an airing OF the
clothes every two or three days is neces-
sary to keep them fresh and sweet.
Especially is this true of clothes that
are not put into the wash tub and OF
shoes. Wearing th0se after days sun
ming and airing will give one a sensation
almost as pleasant as that of putting on
new clothes. AS rule, the more simply
child is dressed the more attractive 1t
is to all sensible people. The bewilder-
ing maze of ruflling and embroidery and
knife plating and shirring and great.

the child in. with which little girls and
