WO7n0n'S Sphere.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Having read the communications of Mrs.
J. L. S. to the readers of the GLOBE, they
suggested new train of thought in my
mind that should like to see more widely
discussed than it is. shall, therefore, start
the ball rolling, and will anxiously wait to
see who will give it the next impulse.
The all-absorbing topic in the minds of
young ladies of the present age is, "What is
to be their vocation in life, what will be most
profitable and what will lead to the most
satisfactory result?" The highest ambition
of the majority of young ladies is to get q
husband who will be partast in both fnan-
cial and social point of view. That i'm
portant victory accomplished, they imagine
that continual round of gaiety and
pleasure is to succeed, that theirs is to be
bed of roses and sunshine, and sorrow, pow
verify and want are never to enter therein.
Poor fools, let them enjoy the delirium of
bliss while they may, for it will dissipate all
too soon. They may have been educated to
believe in all this by overload or ambitious
mothers, and it is not always their fault that
they have spent most of their girlhood keep
ing their hands white, curling their hair in
front and frittering away their time flirting
with some danditied monkey, whose parents
have an abundance of money. Only the
other day, overheard popular and fash
ionable young lady remark to lady friend
that one of her gentlemen acquaintance was
profitable old catch" and she guessed she
would "set her cap for him." From her man
ner l presume she meant what
she said. Set her cap, indeed!
1t is enough to make sensible girl shudder
to think of such thing, and yet, the minds

TIE PARK AND HIGH SCHOOL,

The Plan for Using Wabashaw Street Hill
What the Committee Have Ascer-
tanned.
TWAS in May, 1871, that the chamber Of
commerce first broke ground on the subject of
parks, when a committee of fifteen was an
pointed on the subject, on motion of J. W,
McClung, and Vim. Lee, then mayor. was
chairman Of the committee. It was unani-
mously resolved by the chamber that it was
expedlent to secure several small parks on
eligible sites inside Of the city while property
was low and unoccupied, and to be had w1the
out expanding millions for it. as older cities
have had to do for neglecting to reserve SOM
public squares or parks in time.
The tlrst park selected by the chamber was
the Wabashaw hill, and over 200 petitions were
sent to the council from citizens supporting the
request of the chamber for purchasing or con-
demnlng seven or eight acres on this hill. The
petition was pigeon-holed by the council, the
request OF the citizens and chamber of COM
merce dlsregarded and the council proceeded
to purchase the 800 and odd acres on Lake
Como, which was to be used as Como park
In the meantime eight years have elapsed,
property on that bill went up to $1,000 and
VI, 2UO per lot, and has since come down again
to $500 to $500 per lot. The proposition now
Is to purchase one or more lots on this hill,
locate the high school On the edge of the park
proposed, and attach six or seven acres of
land to it: using about $4,000 of the $50, 600
of bonds for the grounds, and the balance for
the the school house. Objections have
been made by many to this site
on account of the supposed
steep grade; but the committee have procured
from Mr.. Sewan a statement of the grades lead
ing to the hill, showing that they are from Bluff
street to Melrose avenue CLIO to the 100 feet.
Aurora avenue from Rice street east four feet
to the 100; from Robert street west six feet, and
Melrose avenue both ways ten feet, making a
grade easier than st. Peter street, which is
eight, st. Anthony hill, which is nine feet, and
jackson from levee to Third street, which is
eleven feet Mr.. Sewall also states that the
sewerage of other central localities in the Third
and Second wards on the plats is now defective
on account Of the old sewers, and will be always
far inferior to that of this high hill which will
always be unexceptionable in point of health
fulness and good air. The committee met a
few days ago, and were unanimous in favor of
securing park there, but equally divided on
connecting it at present with the High school
question.

EXIT MOORE-ENTER FLOWER

AT last the blow has fallen. We have ap-
pretended the calamity and have been adj
vising with Geo. Moore as to his safety, but
all in vain. For eighteen years George has
held sway as collector of the port of St.
Paul. For many years he was let alone, but
finally there was snuffing about and then
came the announcement that Judge Crowell
had been appointed his successor. The
judge entered the Office one morning and
with smile both childlike and bland d.
rected George to vacate. But George didn't
go. He stuck, and Crowell, though having
the appointment, did not get the Office.
Then old Father Time, with his scythe got
after George, but just as he had him doubled
up, ready to clip both ends off at one blow.
George resorted to sharp dodge. He
slipped away to the Hot Springs and came

THE OPERA.

The opera season is over, and thousands
of our citizens have listened to the delicious
music of some of the most distinguished
composers of the century with delight and
benefit. All of the operas have been well
interpreted and sung, and but little adverse
criticism has been heard on any side. The
public has been pleased, and so have the
managers, for they will carry away with
them several thousand dollars of Uncle
Sans promises to pay.
While we do not question the enjoyability
of an operatic performance, it must strike
every one as an absurdity. It possesses few
of the elements of a drama-has an ingen-
ioas plot, we'll worked out, requiring to be
we'll acted in order to be satisfactory. But
the setting of tragedy or a melo-
drama to music is so irrational as to be
laughable when one calmly thinks
of it. An operate play is unreal in the first
place. In the ordinary walks of life men
and women do not pour their love into each
others ears in strains of delicious melody;
nor when they fall out and quarrel do they
hurl anathernes at each others heads in blank
verse SGT to heroic music. When Martha
or Nancy is being coerced into work that
does not please her, she does not protest in
musical cadence against the indignity, nor
does a Lionel, after he fancies himself slight
ed in his love, break out into "Thou art so
fair,'' and electrify the on-lookers with mis-
robust plants over an unrequited passion.
It is a little ridiculous, too, to see Mephisto
following Faust and Marguerite about like a
faithful poodle, and reminding, them in his
deep bass voice of the doom that is irnpend-
ing, and Fra Diavolo reciting his murderous
exploits and issuing his commands in clear
and captivating tenor. While Mignon's trials
and sufferings are very pleasurable when re-
cited by the soprano, there is much of alb
surdity in adopting such a mode of COM
municating her woes to sympathetic and
sympathizing lover, or expressing her detes-
tation and jealousy of the coquetish rival
whom she encounters.
Viewed in the abstract, opera is farce. It
is not in any sense delineation of charac-
ter or of scenes in real life. Notwithstand-
ing this it will continue to be popular in fash
ionable society, and people will spend their
money freely, declaring, after the opera is
over, that they have had delightful enter
tainment. And SO, no doubt, they have.
Even those with the least appreciation of
music cannot fail to admire a good operate
performance and enjoy the music with which
it abounds. Yet, while it is more entertain
ing it is far less instructive than dramatic
performance, and less calculated to give an
audience correct views of life or an apprecia-
ton of the great deeds of past ages that have
formed SO essential part of history. The
tinsel, and glamour, and melody of the opera
are fascinating, and will continue to become
more so as the interpreters become more &C
complished in musical art. We find no fault
with the fact, but rather rejoice in the appre-
citation manifested by the public for music,
though we have to laugh at the many absurd
tiles that attend the presentation of operas
of every class.

blesses the golden rose, and presents it to the
most loyal advocate of the church. The gospel
of last Sunday refers to the miracle Of the
feeding of the 5000, and is more OF festival
character than the rest of the Sundays.
This Sunday is called Passion Sunday, called
SO from the most ancient times, because on
that day our blessed Lord began to make open
predictions of His coming sutterlngs. Inc
eplstle refers to His passion: the gospel the
beginning of it in that fearful rejection by the
Jews. The church begins, in the gospel for
this Sunday, to commemorate her Lords pas
| sion; whence the name of Passion Sunday.
The week which now commences is rightly
called Passion Week, a term commonly but er-
roneously applied to Holy Week, the week I'M.
mediately preceding Easter. Next Sunday has
been called by several names, but Palm Sunday
! is by far the most familiarly known to US. st.
Augustine mentions the shaking of Palm
brances as the custom of that Sunday, in one Of
his sermons for holy week. In the ancient Eng
| lish church the benediction of the palms took
place just before the Holy Eucharist as it is in

IRe EtaOte CLASS.
Yesterday the bible class meeting at tn
7. NJ. G. A. rooms was largely attended. .
The lesson yesterday afternoon was review
OF the quarter. 1t would scarcely interest tn
general reader, or any except such as hat
studied the lessons of the last three month";
in order. Mr.. Breed said that the principa
thoughts during the course might be grouped
in about three words, Gods work, word ano
worship. Under the first he questioned tn
class with regard to the workers for Cod
rulers, prophets, priests and people; the enc
mics of Gods work-Arabians, Samaritans
Phllistines and Jewish traitors; and the results
of the work-the temple built, the wall re
paired, the people Instructed in the law, the
Sabbath redeemed from it's profanations.
Passing then to the second Gods word, the
class was reminded of the lesson concerning
''The Reading of the Law''-the place, tn
time the teachers and the pupils.
Under the third division Goods Worship
Mr.. Breed gathered the answers of the class
about the book of praise (the Psalms), its au
thors, its contents, kinds Of psalms, peniten
tial, messianic, didaetic; the house of worship
its use, and the delight Of those who frequent
ed it; the day, the Sabbath often profaned. al
ways too lightly esteemed; the worshipers
penitent, forgiven, righteous; the object, tn
Lord God, the King in Zion.
This is the mere abstract; the mails driver
by the master Of the assembly," on which wer
hung the events of the historical portion of tn
quarters course, and the precepts of the devo
t1onal portion.
Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller is still pre-
vented from teaching the primary lesson b!
severe illness. As soon as her health permit
she will resume her place, and in company will
MIR. Breed conduct the lessons Of the mex
quarter.
1t appears to us that for the convenience of
this very successful class several articles should
be supplied by the association. There should
be shades to the windows, that the sun might
be excluded without shutting the blinds; there
should be supply Of chairs sufficient to re
lieve the necessity of carrying the presen
number back and forth over two long flights O.
stairs, and there should be frst-rate black
board in place of the miserable excuses for ont
which the teachers have been obliged to use.
No doubt some of the liberal members of the
association who are interested in this class
will see to these matters.
