I asked one OF the bellies OF the Fifth avenue
IL she allowed shoe clerk to put on her shoes
"Why, OF course I do," she said, "and lace
them up, too. That Is what shoe clerk Is for.
Only a silly woman with country IDEAS or
common woman who looks upon the clerk as a
probable sweetheart, would object to shoe
clerk putting on her shoes. Every well bred
lady In New York expects the clerk to lace
"But suppose the clerk should remark, you
have pretty foot or your foot is small, would
you be indignant"

Or. Arnold at Rugby.

On his appointment to the Head-mastership
OF Rugby school, Arnold took his ID. d. degree,
and from that time he was chiefly called In
public by the name by which we best know him,
reign at Rugby was marked by something Of
gloom and discomfort among both the boys and
those connected with them. He looked much
deeper down into the character of each ind1-
vidual member OF the school than it had been
the custom OF former Head masters to do; and
he exercised a bad influence over his compan-
ions, he quietly requested his friends to remove
him as unfit for public school life; thus as NAV
easily be supposed, causing dissatisfaction In
bly,, somethir to do with his winning his way
slowly, at first with the boys. When he was
very much in earnest about anything his Tea
lures would wear serious gravity Of express
sion which the very young easily miStOok for
sternnesS and when he had his first interview
always most deeply In earnest at the thought
OF the new charge cOnflded to him, and this
made bis appearance fr1ghten his scholars
little On first seeing him. Gradually however.
these drawbacks to his popularity faded away;
parents found that he had judged rightly for
their sons In changing their sphere Of education,
and the boys learned that their Head. masters
face could twinkle With fun, and soften with
paternal tenderness, and that there were In him
depths Of kindly sympathy for their young
troubles and difficulties, and stores Of genial
strength, such as they had never dreamed OF In
man. Soon the common expression in the
school abOnt the Head-maSter came to be, among
the boys, "We would die for him" The only
fault which he would never pardon was a lie
That was always punished by immediate eXpul-
SION from the school. This severe respect for
uuth, however, Increased, on the whole, his as
cenoency; Tor a lofty sense OF honor; manly
StrafghtfOrWardneSS, are ALWAYS essential nuaIi
ties IN an English boys ideal hero.-[T The Argosy

Visions of Spring.

AS write q dear little wasp falls upon the
table and expresses his emotion by whirllng
around on his back as he lies prone upon the
manuscript before me. Somebody left the win
dow open and "the wind blew 1t In" It lies
prone enough just now, but it isn't half so prone
as 1t looks. whistle up the dog OF my neigh
Dor. 1t Is young dog, foolish In its general
In its premises, faulty in its deductions and
utterly erroneous In its conclusions l direct
the attention Of the dog to the struggling wasp
and by stbilant sound and haunting and encour-
aging gesture, endeavOr to excite the unjust
wrath OF the quadruped against the insect. l
brute would undoubtedly teach him to shun
strong, healthy wasp, but as this insect
appears to be suffering from broken back the
dog Is confident Of an easy victory. After a
short Introductory overture OF barks, he ad-
vances upon the buzzing victim and picks 1t up.
But how shall we deSpiSe the day OF small
things? Without the sunshine floods the dusty
spring, the maple buds unfold and the white
blossom sparkle like summer snowdrops on the
cherry trees; a child In clean white dress and
flannel leggiDgs Is falling dawn the stairs of the
house across the way and a man In the lot ad-
joining Is trying to chase seven chickens into
one coop, while the seven chickens with fine
burst OF speed are endeavoring very successfully
lions. No one man can head OF seven chickens
under those circumstances. A woman out "call-
ing" and evidently little bit lost as to locality
Is standing with card-caSe In her hand, pa
tiently knocking at the door Of a house that has
been empty nearly eight weeks. The wasp,
evidently cheered and toned by the sk1rmish, is
wheeling airily about the room, singing In low,
soft tones the songs Of other golden summer
days. How peaceful and summertime the pic

Iigious worship Will always be found to be-
that the first thinks TO bride, propitiate, and
get power with It's god, and believes this pos
SOD to this or that stock or stone. The relig-
lOus Torshiper, Greek Or Goth, thinks that
the only enectuai way to approach God Is to be
as like Him as possible; and that His ultimate
form Is that OF mysterious perfection. But It
is the stronger side of the Greek worship of
Ran beauty symbolic OF divine. His peculiar
and chtldl1ke charact eristic of wanting to see q
Visible sign or image of all things, had not
been checked by Gods definite revelation OF
Himself as secret: He knew not that the craven
image was forbidden; he was not responsible
with the Hebrew and Christian. And there is
no doubt that his desire and imaginative fac
hlty OF seeing signs Of Ccd in nature, among
other things, made him study nature always
and In all forms, with an enthusiasm, an as
pfrat1OD, and continued success which have
never been surpassed. Many Of Winckelmans
views about climate and It's genial Influences in
Greece are true enough, and Muller rightly
adopts them. Beauty and delicacy Of feature,
fine form Of throat and chest, must be assisted
by delightful warmth OF climate; and the Athe-
man ciearneSS Of air {noted from Euripidea to
Milton, and last by Lady StrangfOrd) was no
doubt conducive to fine senses and subtle tenn
permanent. But Attica only produced one Phet-
uias; and the spirit OF graphic thought Is some
thing more than aZote or ozone. Greek art
only m1nistered to religion for limited time,
superstition, which knows no beauty. and
thinks more Of demons than angels. The de-
eraded Armenian, rich or poor, who thought TO
prevail With his gods by money or ceremonial
was virtually OF the same way OF thinking as q
iaZZar0ne or Fakeer. He fell away from the
cult OF beauty as symbolic OF divinity, as far a.
