English Mothers.

1t is a marked feature of SO
cial life in England, and certain
ly II of its special charms, that
mothers and daughters are SO
universally seen together at
home. Not only is the mother
the first lady to whom you are
introduced at the house where
O visit, but she is mistress of
the ceremonies throughout; not
only does she preside at the dim
ner-table, bat at the evening
party she sits as queen. What
ever may be your first impress
sions of such an arrangement, If
it happens that your sympathies
are with the younger ladies, you
will very soon learn to think
that the mothers absence would
be much regretted by the
daughters. As a picture, all
must admit the arrangement to
be perfect. The portly form and
matronly dignity of the mother
are an exquisite foil to the
youthful beauty and maidenly
coyness Of the daughters. And
you will find nothing to mar,
but everything to enhance the
interest of the picture. The
mothers presence never seem to
operate as an unwelcome re
straint. Between her and the
daughter you will mark the
most joyous, playing. loving
freedom, without the sacrifice of
a little of maternal dignity and
authority Oh the one hand, or
graceful duty on the other. 1t
may be said of English families,
generally, that these two things
are eminently characteristic,
namely, uniform parental au-
tLority, and the most charming
freedom of intercourse between
parents and their children

Care of Infants.

One-third of all the children
born die before they are two
years old, and three-fourths Of
these perish unnecessarily
perish as a consequence OF the
neglect or ignorance Of mothers.
Most infants are physikced and
fed to death. No medicine
whatever, not the modest "catnip
tea," should be given to an infant
without the direction of the fami-
ly physician.
As to food, the practice is, the
moment an infant is noticed to
cry, it is fed the result is that
in less than a week the little
thing cries oftener from cholic
than from hunger, which may
often be known by its vomiting
soon after it is fed, or by its refu-
sing to take food the great, the
essential point, is to feed all chill
dren at regular intervals; from
the neglect of this, infants are
made dyspeptic before they are a
month old, and between alternate
feeding and physicing, they go
off In commissions, water on brain.

intervals food is necessary, and
feed only at such times, these

every day, and never allow it to
be showered or bathed in cold

At the opening Of the Mary

vast audience, under the direc-
ton Of Prof. Harry ". Porter,
accompanied BY ltzels Fifth

lev at instrument, and Stieti's
grand pianos. Masters Lehman
Bond, Jack Carter and Eddy

Miss Julia McCahan, daughter
Of Superintendent McCahan,

country. One thousand human
voices singing the great national
anthem; a superb band Of forty
pieces IN full play: a grand or
gan and several pianos resonant
with sound, four bells Ginning

four powerful engines high over

A Princess Alic9 Tragedy

One of the sequels of the sink
ING of the excursion steamer
Princess Alice III the Thames
on the Sd of last month is the
recent death in London of Miss
Ella Hanbury, whose home was
in this city, where her mother
now resides. In company with
her brother she was spending q
few months abroad, and with
her betrothed formed part of the
company on the Princess Alice.
Upon the sinking Of the ship he
was instantly separated from her
and drowned; she being a good
swimmer kept herself above the
waves for two hours, and was at
last picked up nearly two miles
away in an almost lifeless condi-
ton. When she had almost re
covered they deemed it safe to
tell her of the fate of her lover.
AT that she became delirious and
in a few hours died. Miss Han
bury was a graduate of the Nor
NAL College of this city, and the
class in which she was graduated
is about taking action concerning
her death.-N. 7. Herald.

Fashion Notes.

The short suits used for the
street will also be much worn in
the country for morning dresses
III the house.
The materials for the short
suits will be India cashmere,
Scotch and fancy plaids, and the
new cloths called coatings.
The prevailing colors in suit
ings this fall will be Bordeaux
red, dark garnet, myrtle green,
bronze, and hazel brown.
The popular style of the short
suits will consist Of a coat
basque, vest, slightly bouffant
overskirt, and short narrow
walking skirt.
The vest worn by ladies will
be longer than that of last
season, and will be arranged in
a dozen different ways with
plaitings, belts, buttons, &c.
Basques made without vests
are very long in front and back,
and are cut upward IN a short
curve on the hips.
The English coat of home
spun cloths. with velvet collar,
cuffs, and pockets, is the jaunty
and comfortable-looking wrap
for early fall. 1t is Of medium
length, not too long to wear
with short skirts, nor too short
for carriage costumes. Their
shape and whole appearance are
very Ikea gentle mans English
morning coat.
Ribbons and feathers will be
used in profusion for trimming
bonnets this fall and winter.
The shape of the autumn
bonnet will be the close prin-
cesse, with clinging front and
sides, high broad crown, and
almost invariably the curtain
band.
The most jaunty shape in felt
bonnets is that with a close
princesse brim, slightly pointed
Normany crown, and curtain
band.

BlunderS.

Few attributes of character
are more charming than the
faculty ofgracefully acknowledge
ing ones errors. The man who
makes a blunder and sticks to
it is a person with whom argu-
ment or controversy becomes
impossible. The trouble and
time spent in attempting to con-
vince him of the truth are COM
pletely wasted; for he will still
believe that what he has ad-
vanced must be right, even in
the face of actual demonstration
that it is wrong. On the other
hand, of the action of one who
will admit with frank and ready
courtesy that he has been mis-
taken it has been said that it
"blesseth him that gives and
him that takes'-it covers his

Ammonia in the Household.

The pantry shelves are getting
grimy, or fnger-marks around
the door-latches and knobs are
looking dark and unsightly. For
lack of time they are left day
after day, for it is hard work to
scour all the time, and it wears
off the paint too. Now suppose
the wife has her hottie of spirits
Of ammonia to use; she takes a
basin Of water and a clean cloth,
just puts on a few drops of the
fluid and wipes off all the dirt !:
it is worth more than a half
days labor, and does not hurt
the paint either. She could put
a few drops in her dishwater and
see how easily the dishes could
be cleaned; a few drops on a
sponge would clean all the win
dows in the sitting-room, making
them shine like crystal. Itwould
take the stains off the teaspoons,
and a teaspoontul III the mop
pail would do more in washing
up the kitchen floor than ten
pounds of elbow grease applied
to the mop-handle. A housewife
has just as much right to make
her work easy and expeditions
as her husband has. If she does
not do it the faults her own in a
great measure.

Is it raining, little Flower:
Be glad of rain!
Too much rain would wither thee
Twill shine again.
The clouds are very black, It's true,
But just behind them shines the blue.

DE PROFUNDIS.
BY FATHER RYAN.

By FATHER hlAN.
All . Days so dark with death Eclipse.
Woe are we: woe are we.
And the Nights are Ages long
From breaking hearts, through pal
lid lips
On. my God! woe are we!
Trembleth the mourners' song
A blight is falling on the fair
And hope is dying in despair
And terror walketh everywhere.
ALI the hours are full of Tears
Oh, my God! woe are we!
Grief keeps watch in brightest eyes
Every heart Is strung with fears
Woe are we. woe are we?
All the light hath left the skies,
And the living awe struck crowds
See above them only clouds
And around them only shrouds.
All! the terrible Farewells,
Woe are they. woe are they!
When last words sinks into means
While life's trembling vesper bells
Oh. my God. woe are We!
Ring the awful u~ndertOnes
Not a sun in any day!
In the night time not a ray
And the dying pass away!
Dark! SO dark. above-below--
Oh, my God! woe are we!
Cowereth every human life
Wild the wailing-tO and fire.
Woe are all! woe are we!
Death is victor in the strife
In the hut and in the hall
He if writing on the wall
Dooms for many-fears for al.
Thro' the cities burn a breath,
Woe are they! woe are we!
Hot with dread and deadly wrath,
Life and love lock arms in death,
Woe are theyl woe are all!
Victims strew the Spectre's path;
Shy-eyed children softly creep
Where their mothers wall and
weep
In the grave their fathers sleep.
Mothers watt their prayers on high
Oh, my God /! woe are we!
With their dead child on their breast,
And the Affairs ask the sky
Oh, my Christ !! woe are we
"Giye the dead, oh, Father, rest!
opdIc tHy people 4ucICy spare !.
Answer will not come to prayer
Horror moveth everywhere.
And the temple miss the Priest
Oh, my God. woe are we.
And the cradle u the child.
Husband at your bridal feast
Woe are you. woe are you!
Think how those poor dead eyes
smiled
They will never smile again
Every tie is cut in twain,
All the strength of love is vain.
Weep? but tears are veal as foam
Woe are we. woe are we!
They but break upon the shore
Wind between Here and Home
Woe are we. woe are we!
Walling ver-nev more.
All, the dead. they are So lone,
Just the grave, and just a stone,
And the memory of a moan.
Pray yes, pray; for God is sweet
Oh, my God woe are we!
Tears will trickle into prayers
When we kneel down at His feet
Woe are we woe are we.
With crosses and our cares.
He will calm the tortured breast.
He will give the troubled rest
And the dead He watcheth best.
