STOCKTON, Kan.
EGLAETINE.

When forest glades are teeming with bright
forms, a ..
Nor dark and many folded clouds foretell
The coming on of storms.
Heartily do welcome April, not alone for
it's own sake, but for its alternating soft, gentle
showers and warm sunshine which always &C
companies it, preparing the way for the mod
est, dainty, delicate wild flowers of the joyous
May, the rarer exotics of the balmy June, and
the rich, luscious fruit of midsummer It
comes as harbinger, opening the earth in
every respect for the good and advancement of
the seasons The sweet warblers of the wood
return by thousands from the Southern cline,
and all nature seems alive, and rejoices after
its long sleep through the dismal, weary winter.
IT'S true, the month to which we have just bid
farewell till another year shall roll around
claims to be the first of spring, but some of
you may have seen recent Ha1per's Bazar.
Upon one of It's pages are cuts entitled
March" which are most ludicrous and true
to the extreme. The centespiece, al oval win
dow which is apparently but just thrown open,
| and the figure of spring about to egress. Con-
sternation. and almost disgust is depicted upon
her countenance as she views the sad havoc the
wind is making Beneath the aperture are
these words, sWhat horrid month for me to
come out in" We can imagine her almost
tempted to withdraw and retract her footsteps.
| April is a penitent month, doing and repenting
| in turn, more like the lives we live. Even dur
| ing the falling of the rain she seems 10th to
| have it so and timidly ventures with the sun.
| The sky to-day has been one grand panorama
of prismatic beauty and loveliness. / watched

I had thought this week to write you a letter
upon fancy work and home adornments alone,
but will have toleave it for another time; how
ever, the directions for transferring embroid-
cry may not come amiss. ~
1t must first be cut out and most delicately
and neatly from the material upon which it has
been originally worked, and then tackled upon
blue. paper. in the pattern in which it is de-
sired to arrange it, the right side of the en-
broidery being placed toward the pa
per, which SHOULD be cut to the re-
quired shape. Over this again tack
| the material to which the work
is to be transferred, and then with the finest
lace thread and smallest needle closely sew it
| through to the extreme edge of the work, being
very careful not to draw it in any way, for
which reason it is desirable not only to tack the
material to the edge of the paper pattern butalso
The whole of the work, it will be seen, is thus
done from the back Any little shreds of the
original material which may remain about the
edges of the work may be carefully shipped off
| with sharp scissors after the paper has been
removed Embroidered initials can be trans
| ferred to new handkerchiefs in this way. The
| work will outwear several. ...., EDNA

please don't cry any more. See, I have brought
my new dolly, and, if you wish, I will stay just
for a little while. Let lis so to your play
house, and then you can tell me all about it !"
And Lottie put her arms around her little
friend, and they both went down to the barn, a
play house.
"Come, now; get your dolly. Yes, the largest
one What lovely new dress it has. Did you
make it?" f, ......r-. ..lr 4H1
Fanny tried to smile and hush her sobbing
| as she said, mamma cut and basted and [
helped to sew it." t.
"Well, I think you did it ever so NICE" and,
as Lottie saw the little "April shower" coming
again, she said:
sCome, Fanny, get out your little trunk, and
show me the rest of your doly's clothes. "
Out came the sun again, and they looked
over the pretty new things and dressed the
dolls over and over again. Finally, the clouds
had all disappeared, and Fanny could laugh
and talk in her sweet pleasant way. and she
confdentially told her sympathizing friend her
trouble 9t 1875
you sac, Lothe, it was just this way: My
Uncle Tom is in town. and he promised a lot
of us girls ride: and. when he called here,
said Yes; can be ready in minute and he
said L will wait five minutes and away l
ran-oh, so happy! Well, what do you think?
could not find my hat and gloves anywhere
The five minutes-yes, ten--were up, and
Uncle Tom could wait no longer. was so
dreadfully disappointed, but that did not hurt
me half as bad as something else!
when came down stairs, Aunt Margaret
said, Serves you right, Miss Fanny!' (She
never calls me Mss unless she is provoked
with me). 1T will teach you a lesson, / hope;
and hereafter I hope you will remember to
have place for everything and everything In
tsplace!' G3at3Ae.k- - - .+--.-
"She calls that proverb, and she has lots of
just such proverbs, that I have to hear so
much ~ and again the little voice trembled
well, said Lottie; never mind this little
sorrow; it may help both you and [ in after
life. little practice viii soon make it easy to
put everything in its right place. I am trying
to be orderly and tidy with my things, but of
course, sometimes, when l am in a hurry,
forget, and it always makes trouble for me-
Mamma taught me that proverD sometime ago,
and, somehow, whenever l come in from school
OF play, and think am too tired or warm to
put my things away, that proverb pops into
my head 1t seems to me 1 never can for

@WelI, what do you think my Aunt Margeret
says? She k,.ows she can go up stairs in the
dark, and put her hand on anything she wants!
- Well, suppose you and try and be like her?
Then we viii always be ready at a minutes no
tice for ride or walk, or any sort of fun or
frolic. Is fzT5I 81 - at9 .es.si
