Seeking a Teacher For Linda.

She was at one Of the union school
houses for an hour before school open
ed. She was tall woman, forty years
old, with jaw showing great deter
mination, and Linda was sixteen, and
rather shy, and pretty good looking.
The mother said she hadn't been in
the city long, and that it was her duty
to get Linda into school, and see that
she was properly educated. When the
teacher came the mother boldly in
quired:" You know how to teach, do
you?' 81 think I do replied the
teacher, blushing deeply: ':And you
feel competent to govern the scholars,
do you?" eyes M ssDo you pound

Stockings.

A few years ago the feminine nose
was tilted high in the air at the mere
mention of !co}ored stockings. They
were considered inelegant, unladylike,
and, above all, questionable. Only
the whitest of white hosiery was al
lowable.' Then came an innovation
in the shape of Balbriggans, which
were of that peculiar creamy tint, so
well known and so much liked even
from the first introduction. Then
silken hosiery, matching the colors of
evening toilets, was exhibited, but
these, alas were attainable by only
the few. Since then the caprice for
fancy stockings has increased, and
now the Balbriggan, which is the
standard hosiery, divides honors with
the blue and brown, and, late st of all,
black stockings. The fancy for striped
hosiery seems waning, at least they
are no longer considered the finest
mode, although they are still very
much worn, but the popular caprice
solid and very dark colors. The grays
are exceedingly dark, being more
nearly deep slate or drab than the
pure gray, which is of lighter tint.
Seal brown, or even the darker shade
called negre, are very stylish, and so
are the navy and ink blues. These,
however, were all seen last season, land.
as a consequence, are not so entirely
novel as the black hose. which comes
in silk and very black merino, with
embroidered checks, either in black,
white or colors. 49,.
The merinos which are intended for
ordinary wear cost So the pair. They
are very fine and firm, with double
heels and toes, and are warranted
to wear well. In thse black stock
ings one sees revival of a very old
fashion. Said a dear old lady, telling
fascinating stories of ''once upon a
time, when was girl, that bright,
golden, best time Of her life, ''Why,
I never would have thought of going
out without my black silk stockings
and laced slippers; my white silk
stockings were sacred to the ball
room my black silk ones for the
street, and I never dreamed of such a
thing as making one do for the other"
At first thought there is something
unpleasant about black stockings, but
as one sees them they are so fine, and
the embroidery is so pretty that one
forgets ones prejudice and is surprised
into admiring them.

The Boarding House in Literature.

When we open the books of some of
contemporary authors, it is like opening
the front door of a third-rate boarding
house. The air is loaded with the
stale and mixed exhalations of inele-
giant living. We are inclined to
think, by the way, that the modern
clearinghouse is directly responsible
for the vulgarity of much of
our literature. Unless we are mistak.
en-, there was not so much of this kind
of vulgarity in the English and Amer
lean writer's of the last century We
do not refer, of course, to the brutal,
and the coarse, and the immoral. They
have always existed. But we refer to
the semi-genteel manners, the assum D.
tons, the self assertions, the gossip.
the general atmosphere OF the or
binary NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. make
themselves felt unconsciously to the
writer's in so many of our current sto-
ries and poems. Yes, even poems :;
for, just as there is a musical, and, as
we may say, a well-bred way of arrang-
ing the nouns and adjectives, and even
the vowels and consonants in poem so
there is a common and boarding house
way OF using them. @
The stilted diction and bogus classic
ism of old-time writers probably help
ed to keep even authors of least genius
from falling into the pit of vulgarity.
But now the classic has passed into the
romantic, the romantic into the SEN.
timental style. The style, with a
touch of the scientific, or a touch of
the jaunty or jocose, is identified with
the murmur of crowded dining-rooms,
and all that is dreary and demoraliz.
ing in beds and tables, stools md can

sale. of steamboat furniture. It is
easy to see that some of our writer's
have had their entire view of life col
ored by rejection on the part of the
landlady's daughter of third-rate
clearinghouse.

FASHION NOTES.

From the New York Sun.
wide gaIl0onS are worn.
Fringes are very fashionable.
| Shirred sleeves are again worn.
Gemmel rings are revival of an
old fashion. ~.
The buttonhole bouquet of the sea:
son is of violets.
Nail.head GALLONS are among the
new dress trimmings.
Knife-pleating continues to be the
most fashionable trimming.
The newest polonaises are so long as
to show only a mere line of the lower
skirt.
Every other lady you meet on Broad
way wears a bunch of violets at the
crossing of her bonnet scarf.
Small shawls to match the color of
the dress, when the latter is of plain
cashmere, will be the favorite spring
wrap. '..'" .:.-
Only the upper part of the sleeve is
shirred in the lately revived style :;
the lower part is plain and fits the arm
tight. =" .'.*"
Mittens for evening wear are made
very long, and trimmed with lace at
the top, which falls gracefully around
the elbow. -
The bayaleuse, or dress-sweeDer, is
a founce of muslin and imitation lace,
basted on the under side of the trail
to support the same.
Ribbon cat in small pieces with the
ends folded to form triangles. and
each point Ornamented with a tassel
will be used Tor dress trimmings.
The Paris correspondent of Harper's
Bazaar says: The bonnets of the pres
ent day are fortresses; they rise above
the head like mighty towers. and, like
the coiffures of the days Of Marie An
toinette, place the face almost in the
middle of the entire statute of the
wearer. The coiffures of the hair are
still so overloaded and complicated to
such degree that it would be impos.
sible to make them Of the natural hair.
Aigretts of metal, arrows and daggers
are worn with these coiffures when the
style of dress does not admit of the use
of feathers and flowers, But flowers
are worn on almost every occasion and
with simple toilets at the belt in the
hair and everywhere are placed sprays,
touffes, or cordons of flowers.
The milliners are anticipating very
few novelties this season. Chip bon
nets of ecru shades will continue in
vogue, but a great number of fancy
straws will also be imported. There
will be bonnets partly Of chip and
| partly of lace straws. with brims of
one and crowns of the other. The
capote shape, it is predicted, will be
close against the face, but there will
be some variations in the crowns.
Trimmings will be tied closely around
the crown, and follow its outlines, in.
stead of being massed in bows and
loops. A great many flowers will be
used, especially in wreaths and half
garlands. Tilleul green appears
in foliage of every plant. Wreaths Of
rose leaves Of shaded green will be
used for spring hats for young ladies.
Silk crowns will match the costume in
color, and the front will be Of satin
finished straw or fancy braids. White
lace will be used in combination with
silks and gauzes for midsummer bon
nets. Many shades of yellow deep
er than those worn last summer prom

April Characteristic

April, at it's best, is the teuderest of
tender salads. Its type is the first
spear of grass. The senses-sipht.
nearing, smell-are as hungry for it's
delicate and almost spiritual tokens as
the cattle are for the first bite of. its
fields. How it touches one and makes
him both glad and sad! The voices of
the arriving birds, the migrating
fowls, the clouds of pigeons sweeping
across the sky or filling the woods. the
elfin horn of the first honey.bee ven.
turing abroad in the middle of the
day, the clear piping of the little frogs
in the marshes at shutdown, the camp
fire in the sugar-bush, the smoke seen
afar rising over the trees, the tince of
green that comes so suddenly on the
sunny knobs and slopes, the full trans
lucent streams, the waxing and warm
ing sun,-how these things and others
like them are noted by the eager eve
and ear :! April is my natal month.
and am born again into new delights
and new surprises at each return of it.
Its name has an indescribable charm
to me. Its two syllables are like the
| calls of the first birds-like that of
the Phebe-bird, OF of the meadow
lark. Its very SHOWS are fertiliZing.
and are called the poor mans manure.
Then its odOrs [ am thrilled bv

their uncloying freshness. They are
not sweet, they are oftener bitter, they
are penetrating and lyrical. know
we'll the odors of May and June, of the
world of meadows and orchards burst

inefable and immaterial and so stim-

One characteristic April feature and
one that delights me very much, is the

The President Of the gorgeous con-
Germ, Mr.. H. B. Hyde, began his work
in 1859 on salary of ST. 900. In 1863
he got $1,000; in 1864, with his per-
quisites, he skinned the public out of
2l,109; and thereafter it annually in
creased until in 1874 it reached the
glorious aggregate of $57 500, which
was maintained until 1875, when the
company, owing him at that time
nearly $64,000, changed his income to
the small and 'beggarly pittance of

and has been receiving since that
time. But he wrung himself in as the
