Lucy Hooper writes from Paris to
the Philadelphia Telegraph
Some months ago l gave an account
OF the arrest, at the Bon Marche. for
stealing, Of the Baroness de la N
and her two daughters. Detected with
their pockets crammed full of abstract
ed articles, they made no attempt to
deny their guilt and were consequent
ly brought to trial. the mother being
sentenced to two years Imprisonment,
while the daughters were acquitted.
These ladies belonged to the proudest
arlstocracy of France, the mother be-
ing SO lofty in her ideas that she re-
fused to visit former acquaintance
because she had lowered herself by
espossing a person in trade. Being
too poor to purchase such dresses for
her daughters as would enable them
TO make an appearance in society in
accordance with their station, she I'M
fortunately adopted this nefarious
method of supplying their wants. The
whole affair has ended as tragically as
possible. The mother died, broken
hearted, in prison II few weeks Ago.
One OF the daughters was engaged to
be married, and her betrothed nobly
lent her the aid of his presence and
support all through the trial never
leaving her side till the verdict was
pronounced. The engagement was
broken off, both the girls entered
convent of the very strictest order,
and the young man has suddenly
changed from gay and elegant society
man into confirmed old bachelor.
negligent in his dress and misanthropi-
cal in his habits. Thus, for love of
tinery and for false pride. the existence
of four human beings has been
wrecked

The schools of Jersey City are

In breaking eggs for cake and pies
leave the shells rs nearly whole as pos
sible or in two halves. Ornament
these with bright bits of color and
gilt. Paste small cords to them, fill
with candies and hang on the tree.
With care these fancy shells may be
made to do service several years. Pop
corn nicely, string il, and hang III fes-
toons OH the tree. Use bitter-sweet
berries in the same way. Apples of
bright color and oranges hung on IA
tree looks very pretty. They should
be hung near the body of the tree.
Take common bobnet. cut it in stock
ing shapes, sew together with bright
worsted, fill with transparent candies
of various tints. Get rock candy,
break into small bits, and suspend by
fine spool cotton from the bOughs.
Twill glitter like frost work. To
fasten on the candles, if You have not
the little candlesticks made on purpose
use fine wire from some old hat or
bonnet frame. Hang all the heavy
articles near the bod of the tree,
the lightest ones near the ends of the
boughs. For "A Sunday-School a very
pretty change from the conventional
tree is ladder. Let it be decorated
with evergreens and flowers. the
rounds illuminated with a candle at
each end, and the presents be suspend
ed from the rounds. The ladder
shotild reach from floor TO ceiling.
Unless one has seen ladder thus de
corated he can form no idea how
beautiful it looks; and then the lesson
it teaches is one that can be brought
home TO the hearts Of all the children,
little and large. N. y. Trit,hle.

IN FUTURE.

II seems to me the'bud of expectation
Has not yet swollen to the perfect flower
That vita it, wondrous fragrant exhalation.
The woriG Of faith viii dover.
The lamps We light are but the stars OF promise
The faintest reflex of distant sun
That wakes an eager sautaton from lie
Tin nobler heights are won.
The past was but the preface to the story
In which the romance of our lives il wrought:
The deeds that win imperishable glory
Live scarcely in our thought.
Whateer we do falls short of our intending;
The structure lacks the beauty we design:
And tortured angels, to their home ascending,
Depart, and leave no sign.
By ali the doubts and trials that so vex us,
By all the falls and failures that annoy,
By all the strange delusions that perplex Us,
And yield no fruit OF joy,
We know thst unto moras is not given
The strength or knowledge that is yet In store
For US ere yet we walk the streets of Heaven
And dream of Heaven no more.
The heart Of earth has secrets yet withholden.
That wait the dswning OF some future day,
When angel hands from sepulcher so golden
Shall roll the stone away.
Man has no. touched the zenith of creation;
The godlike thought that filed Jehovah's mind
Has had in him but feeble revelation
Uncertain, undetned.
The days wherein Time reaches its fruition,
With moments weighted with no vain regret,
Those days Of which the soul has sweet provision
Draw nigh but are not yet
-Ha,per's Monthly.
