The most important work OF fiction lately
issued Is Mr.. HOMELESS Lady Of the Aroostook
tHoughton. Osgood h Co.. This is the story OF
New England girl. who has taught school in
an upland village OF Massachusetts, and who Is
sent out TO Trieste in the cabin OF sailing ship
consigned. rs II were. TO the mercies OF the Cap
tain ana his chance passengers. SO far as stu
alton is concerned. this Is obviously more
shocking to Continental ideas than anything
yet reproduced and sighed over by Mr.. Henry
James. Jr. Moreover. Mr.. Howells exhibits in
the most exhaustive though unpreientious way
a knowledge Of European habits. standards.
and points Of view. and an acquaintance with
the distinctive English idiom quite equal. 10 say
the least. to that evinced in Daisy Miller"
But. unlike the author Of that book. he does not
ridcule. or dissect. or even pity his heroine.
Contrariwise. 1t is her critics and would-be
superiors who are subjected to his keen anal
ysis. In word this story is calculated to
make men comprehend and honor not disown.

We do not know what success has attended
the translating OF ZoLA's "L'Assommoir." but
there are two OF the series. The AJbSs 1enlptd-
ton and Lore Episode to which no exception
can bo taken. Ioas purpose is TO photograph
all phases Of human life. and In these volumes
he touches the more kindly. austere. and ele-
waited aspects OF French society. Both narra-
tives are love stories, told with grace and deli
cacy likely TO surprise those persons who only
know lola by the Ventre do Paris" We may
add that the subject OF these tales does not raise
the difficult question OF the right principle Of
translation suggested to the reproducers OF
LAssommoir" Mr.. Binnse. who translated
the latter novel for Mr.. Carleton. and Mr.. John
Stirling, who did the same work for the Messrs
Peterson. have proceeded upon theories dia-
metrically opposite We are constrained to say
that We think Mr.. Blnnse's method OF translat-
ing by analogy. rather than by genealogical
equivalent hard to Justify by argument. but
he has gone far to vindicate it by experiment
The TeO Brides by the Rev. BERNARD
O'REILLY, is brought out by Mr.. Carleton. and
the author has done well to intrust his book to
secular publisher. BYthis step he has frankly
submitted his work TO the normal tests OF artistic
merit without reference to any controversial or
moral purpose. II other writer's who belong to
the clerical profession do not often follow his
example, 1t will probably DO because they can
not afford TO do SO. This novel deserves to be
read for its own sake. and would secure notice
had II been issued anonymously. There is In il
more than an average power OF construction
and In the foremost persons Of tho story some
careful and effective characterization. We
should add that while the influence OF the book
can hardly fail to purity and invigorate. there
Is a happy absence OF overt propagandism.

care with which the poet watched over his chill

house. With the consent of the Surrogate, Isaac
Skidmore grocerynan in the village, entered into

him tor groceries. 1t was agreed that by the pay
ment of $40 the widow was to remain in possession

selling out. The rchaser then commenced legal
proceedings against her, but had them suspended,
it is said, upon the executor Of the will promising
that Mrs. Carman would leave the house within
month. At the expiration OF that time Mr. SIX idmore
presented her with $15 to dcfray the expenses OF
moving. She left with two OF her children but lett

Good Manners.

Ills rule OF manners to avoid eXag-
geration. A lady loses as soon as she
admires too easily and too much. In
lose power when they are on the strain
to express admiration. A man makes
his interiors his superiors by heat
Why need you, who are not gossip,
talk as a gossip, and tell eagerly what
the neighbors or journals say? State
your opinion without apology. The at
titude is TIE main point. Assure your
companion that, come good news or
come bad, You remain in good heart and
good mind, which is the best news you
can possibly communicate. Self-con-
troll is the rule. You have in you there
noisy, sensual savage, which you are
to keep down, and turn all his strength
to beauty. For example: What SEN
eschal and detective is laughter! 1t
seems to require several generations of
education to train squeakiDg or q
shouting habit out of man. Som times,
when in almost all expressions the Choc-
taw and the slave have been worked
out of him coarse nature still betrays
itself in his contemplate squeals of joy.
The great gain is not to shine, not to
conquer your companion-then you
learn nothing but conceit-but to find
companion who knows what you O not :;
to tilt with him and be overthrow,
horse and foot, with utter destruction of
all your logic and learning. There is a
defeat that is useful. Then you can see
the real and the counterfeit, and you
will never accept the counterfeit again.
You will adopt the art of war that has
defeated you. You will ride to battle
hOrsed on the very logic which you
found irresistible. You will accept the
fertile truth, instead of the solemn, GUS
tomary lie. When people come to see
us, we foolishly prattle, least we be in
hospitable. But things said for CONVEX
sation are chalk eggs. Don't say
things. What you are stands over you
the while, and thunders so that can't
hear what you say to the contrary. A
lady of my acquaintance said, 81 don't
care so much for what they say as | do
for what makes them say it." The law
of the table is beauty-a respect to the
common sort of all the guests. Every
thing is unreasonable which is private
to two or three or any other portion OF
the company. Tact never violates for
moment this law; never intrudes the or
ders of the house, the vices of the alb
sent, or tariff of expenses, or profess
sional privacies; as we say, we never
"talk shop" before company. Lovers
abstain from caresses, and haters from
insults, whilst they sit in one parlor
with common friends. Would we codi
fy the laws that should reign in house.

annoys and mortiies us, and degrades
our household life, we must learn to

manners are made up of petty sacrifices

A Child'S Heart,

The other day q curious old woman,
having bundle in her hand, and walk.
ing with painful effort, sat down on q
curb step, up Woodward Avenue, to
rest. She was curious because her gar
ments were neat and clean, though
threadbare, and curious because a smile
crossed her wrinkled face as children
passed her. 1t might have been this
smile that attracted a group of three
little ones, the oldest about 8. They
stood in row in front of the old won
an, saying never word, but watching
her face. The smile frightened, linger.
ed, and then suddenly faded away, and
corner of her old calico apron went
up to wipe away tear. Then the eldest
child stepped forward and asked:
"Are you sorry because you haven't
got any children?"
ell had children once, but they are
all d-dead!" whispered the woman, a
sob in her throat
6 I'm awful sorry" said the little
girl as her own chin quivered. ard
give you one of my little bro hers here,
but you see | haven't got but two, and
don't believe I'd like to spare one "
"God bless you, child bless you for
ever!" sobbed the old woman, and for
full minute her face was buried in her
apron.
"But I'll tell you what I'll do" Sc,
riously continued the child. "You may
kiss US all once, and if little Ben isn't
at aid you may kiss him four times, for
he's Just as sweet as candy!"
Pedestrians who saw three well
DIRE sed children put their arms around
that strange old woman's neck and kiss
her were great y puzzled. They didn t
know the hearts of children, and they
didn't hear the woman's words as she
rose to go:
"Oh! children, I'm only poor old
woman, believing I'D nothing to live
for, but you've gwen me lighter heart
than I've had for ten long !"-De-
