THE DISCIPLINE OF SICKNESS.

Severe illness is a great teacher. 1t
comes unbidden and unwelcome. Its
stay is often prolonged, as if it were not
an unsolicited visitor. At first we feel
impatient, and submit with a very bad
grace to the enforced confinement; we
think that our business cannot be neg
lected that people must be seen; that
not one of the numerous things can 60
on well without us. But this original
impression soon wears away. We per-
ceive that the great machinery of the
world moves steadily on without our
help, and even without 80 much as not
ing our absence. Our anxiety about
many matters steadily diminish, until
after while we wonder at the intensity
of the interest, which we once felt in
subjects which we have come to regard
as of very little Importance. We grow
philosophical. The days seem longer,
because we have attained calm, patient,
reflective mood; but they also have be-
come pleasanter. Pain, if we suffer it,
we have become accustomed to; and
maybe we feel new veneration for
science on account of the relief which
medical knowledge has afforded us. If
the morning lowers. we confne our
thoughts within doors where all is cheer
full. 1t is the sunshine which, on q
bright afternoon, streams into the win
dows Of the still sick-chamber, that
awakens the greatest food Of refeetions.
We 60 back to our childhood and school
/ days. We think Of those whom, per-
chance, we have not thought Of for years
/ before But how fresh and distinct Is
our remembrance of them now When
we proceed 10 reflect what has become Of
them, and where they are now, our
thoughts wander over many lands, but
they rest mostly upon the ehuFch-yards.
/ It is to those that. one after another
il seems, as We summon them in memo
~. as if IL we're nearly all--of our
youthful companions are gone. And yet
it seems but yesterday that We were
playmates together We become sensi-
bic that. in reality, human life Is indeed
but mere span.

Belts are in great favor, not only with
half-6tting sacques, but with plain cor
sages. The stylish belt of to-day, how
ever, carries us back for many long
years, and is made as those woven BY
our grandmothers, when they. like US,
were fashionable.
HINT TO PURCHASERS.
In my last letter casually mention
ed a fashion book published by Enrich
& Co.. the enterprising dry goods mer-
chants. The summer number of this
publication has just appeared, and after
an examination Of its contents | feel so
exceedingly impressed with the extraor-
binary attractiveness which such book
must have for ladies living away from
the great city, that / intend TO say a
word about it BY the magic of this
Quarterly" Enrich & Co., stretch their
long business counters as it were, into
every household in the United States, SO
that ladies can pleasantly lean over them
and purchase what they want at New
York prices.
Ehrich's Fashion Quarterly is as
much superior to the regular fashion
magazines as substantial slice of good
pudding is to a cooking recipe. Our fash
ion magazines are too much inclined to
publish elaborate, expensive, imported
styles, which are as far removed from
the ordinary tastes and needs Of the
most of us as is the $4,000 necklace at
the Centennial. In this admirable
Quarterly every article, suits for ladies
and children, baby wear, every imagin-
able thing necessary to clothe or adorn
woman-each has its we'll drawn illus
tration, its clear, business-like descrip-
tion and the exact price at which the ar
ticle is sold and each style can be re-
lied on as the style actually worn by the
best Ne'o York people. But, besides this
the magazine contains not only the pri-
ces of every desirable article but is also
enriched with practical common sense
articles from the pens of our most gifted
ladies, and well selected hints for house
keeping and dressmaking, so that it is
universally useful. A good many will
make up their minds, in spite of all this,
that magazine furnished for a whole
year, postage paid, for twenty-five cents,
can hardly be frst-class but seeing is
believing, and if any of your numerous
readers subscribe for it by writing to
Enrich & Co., Eighth avenue, New York,
and are not satisfied that it was "big
investment" let them never again put
confidence in MADAME RADIx.

LITTLE CHILDREN.-People who ha-
bitually put children out of their hearts,
and close their doors upon them, have
no idea how much comfort they set aside
what pleasure, what amusement. OF
course the little creatures meddle with
things, and leave the traces of their fin
gers on the wall, and cry, and "bother"
little; but, when one gets into the
way of it, as mothers and other loving
relatives do, those things become of mi
nor Importance. Children say such pret-
ty things. and do such funny things. the
touch Of their little hands is 50 soft, the
sound of their little voices so sweet.
their faces are Sc pretty. their move
ments so graceful and comical. the whole
family goes baby mad-and it is no
wonder. No book was ever written that
was half 50 interesting as a little child
that is learning to talk and think, that
is developing from tiny animal into a
being with a conscience and heart.

MRS. DINGLE,s nIRED GIRL.

Full details Of the unfortunate affair
of Mrs. Dingle's hired girl have net yet
come to light but enough is known to
warrant the statement that more la
mentable accident has rarely occurred.
Mrs. Dingle lives in nice house, goes
into society good deal, and dresses
well, and as matter of course, the
hired girl initiates her mistress as far as
possible in the attention she pays to
personal adornment.
Mrs. Dlngle appeared in a pull-back
the other morning, with hustle, which
attracted the hired girls admiration,
and as it was Thursday, and she would
have the afternoon to 60 out in, she re-
solved to appear in a hustle like that of
her mistress at all hazards. She went
at once to constructing the attachment
to her dress, but found great difficulty
in making the hustle in the outlines fol-
low the depressions and cOnvultion of the
one she was initiating until the happy
thought occurred to her to utilize the
clothes line in giving form to the obsti-
nate protuberance.
She went out and took the clothes
line down, and ascertained subsequently,
by winding the coil Of rope up loosely,
that it made the perfection of stufiEg
for the bustle-springy, undulating and
pliable. She used thirty-six feet and
half of rope, in all. and was perfectly
satisfied with her work. At three o'clock
in the afternoon she started out for
promenade, and to keep an engagement
with her young mana street-car driv-
er, at present out of the business-the
hired girl didn't take a street-car, but
walked down town, feeling that after so
much pains she was too fine figure of
a woman not to show herself. She en-
joyed the walk immensely until she felt
a slight twitch in the rear She turned,
but did not notice anything.
Around the corner, though. she heard
a boy calling out ''sassingers !" and an
other boy across the street yelled
"snaix r. She went ON her way with
scorn, when she felt the twitch again,
and looking around this time she saw
something.
She saw small rope reaching back
around the corner, and from the manner
in which it moved she knew that boy
must have hold of the other end Of 1t.
The dreadful clothes line in her hustle
had become loosened at one end, and the
boys had got hold of it She knew they
hadn't got it all yet, for she could feel
it paying out like hose from reel.
At first she nearly tainted away, and
then she started to run, but then it was
no use. The boys played her as fish
erman would a trout, and showed great
deal of science, keeping moderately
taut line, but running along near enough
to the hired girl to prevent too great
strain on the tackle.
They would have landed her some
where, probably, but that she had pres
ence of mind to snatch up hay knife
on exhibition in front of a hardware
store, and cut the rope with it.
No sooner was she set free than she
darted for home again. She wouldn't
meet her young man with fat hustle,
and the loss Of her clothes line had left
her absolutely without any style what
ever. When she got home she had q
high fever, and it was in her delirium
that she gave to Mrs. Dingle all the de-
tails of the distressing occurrence.
