SKETCHES OF AMERICAN FIG
TION.
Written for the MIRROR by F. I. H.
Sketch No. Mother Hubbard.


Who has not heard of Mother Hubbard I
That great god-mother of the nursery, who,
aided by her good-hearted sister, Mother
Goose, has done much to gladden. childish
hearts.
To the shame of the American Nation, be
it said, that no record of her birth, or even
its place, has been preserved, and this dis
tinguished celebrity has passed along with
the current of time, without even a death
notice in the newspapers. Certain it is, she
was a Massachusetts woman, for no other
could originate such wonderful subtleties,
and her works no doubt comprised the bulk
lest part of classic Harvard's first library.
AS a reward for her extraordinary literary
Iabors, which have delighted her country
people for many years, she enjoyed long
life, and died in full hope of restful sleep.
Indeed she still lives, for like the deeds Of
all good mortals, her works live after her.
But modern ladies, envious of her enduring
fame, have endeavored to excel her effort:
and have partially succeeded in obliteratine
her monumental glory. So that it become:
the pleasant task of your humble servant
the writer, to rescue her name from fast ap
preaching oblivion. OF her early produc
tions, bat little is known. She first aroused
the world by that electric poem, entitled
"Mother Hubbards Dog" one stanza, o
which, is as follows;
Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor dog bone,
But when she got there
The cupboard was bare
And so the poor dog had none,
Only equaled in sweetness by these line
of her amiable sister:
Hi didde dddlel
The cats in the fiddle,
The JUMPED over the moon,
The little dog laughed to see the fine sport,
And the dish away with the spoon.

How Reading Is Made Interesting

The Boston School Committee have
devised a plan for lending special at
Effectiveness to the unusually dull half
hour devoted to the exercise of reading
in the public schools. The regular read
ers have been supplemented by selected
stories from general literature. The
primary children, for instance, are re
garded with "Jack, the Giant Miller
Little Red Riding Hood" -" Cinderella"
and other popular Juvenile fictions
printed in n pamphlet for school use.
The older children have selected tales
from the "Arabian Nights" and other
entertaining tictions are to be prepared
for their delectation The superintend-
ent claims that the introduction of this
feature has been surprisingly successful
The children, whose every look and act
showed how tedious and irksome the
reading hour was to them, are now all
attention and animation. They ara not
allowed to read the books out of school
hours, and the text is therefore new to
them at each lesson Especially among
the poorer children, whose only pleasure
reading is confined to an occasional dime
novel or trashy paper. is the improve
ment noticeable, and in no better way,
considers Superintendent Eliot, can a
pure and elevated taste for good reading
be implanted.

Traits OF Overworked Men.

Nothing could have been kinder, Cor
exah pie, than the act of Sir Walter
Scott, writing out sermons for young
aspirant to the Scottish ministry, whose
state of nerve made him unable to Crap
pie with the task and satisfy his Pres
bytery. Similar, though in quite differ
ent sphere, was the kindness shown by
Vinet, at Lausanne, to peasant woman
who invaGed his solitude one Sunday
morning. Overcome by toll and illness,
Vinet had been obliged to forbid the
visits of strangers, and his family were
guarding him with all possible care.
The woman was an intelligent, God
fearing peasant, who had never succeed
ed in getting rest for her spirit; but,
having fallen in with one of Vinet's
books, she was persuaded that il she
could only see him, he would be able to
give her the needed guidance With
much difficulty she got admis
sion to his room. We can fan
cy the anxious relatives enioinlng
her to dctain him as short a
tlIHe uS pOSSlDe. DuJ lIIct, Wueu ne
heard her story, was profoundly inter
ested, and spent the whole day with her
up to the hour of the last stage coach.
The account which the woman gave to
her own pastor, on returning home, vas
interesting. swell" said the pastor,

In contact with his humility and good
ness ! felt all my pride give way"
Then she told how thoroughly he CON-
pretended her case. How patiently he
spent the whole day with her, and all in
such homely way that she felt as if he
was her brother. A few days after,
vinet sent her book newly published,
as If she had been one Of his chosen
friends -Macmillan's Magazine.

TIRED OUT.

Can any one tell who is the author OF the
delicate and tender lines?
He does we'll who does his best;
Is he weary? let him rest.
Brother! l have done my best,
am weary let me rest.
After toiling oft in vain,
Baflled, yet to struggle fain;
After toiling long, to gain.
Little good with mickle ain,
Let me rest. But lay me low,
Where the hedgeside roses blow;
Where the little daisies grow.
Where the winds a-maying 60;
Where the footpaths rustics plod.
Where the breeze bowed poplars nod;
Where the old woods Worship God,
Where His pencil paints the sod,
Where the welded throstle sings,
Where the young bird tires his wings;
Where the waiting plover swings,
Near the runlet's rushing springs.
Where, at times, the tempest's roar,
shaking distant sea and shore,
Still will rave old Barnesdale Ger,
TO be heard by me no more!
There. beneath the breezy west,
Tired and thankful let nae rest,
Like child that sleepetn best
On its mothers gentle breast.

Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Sherman

Mrs. Clemmer writes 70 the hide
pendent To use the world as not
abusing it is the sacred commend. The
discerner OF spirits cannot fail to per
ceive the conSecrat5d nature, though it
lives aud has it's being amid the pomp
AID vanity of this world. She, who in
such an atmosphere, keeps Ler soul I'M
spotted, her life simple. pure and sweet,
her affections fixed upon heavenly
things, achieves a greater victory over
the world, the flesh and the devil, than
the clustered saint
1t is something OF this consideration
which gives even to the hospitality of
Mrs. Hayes, in the White House, a dis
tinctlve quality Kindly, pleasant
women have stood there before, greet
ing mechanically the multitude; but l
doubt if ever before woman with Just
that light on her face, which somehow
seems to have fallen from the sacred al
tar. The spiritual conservation of this
woman from the beginning, has been
potent force in the social life at Wash
ington. She might have been just as
good woman; but if she had been a
weaker one the influence for good
would have been neutral, " here it is now
positive power. The revelry is still
going on; Vanity Fair is still Vanity
Fair; yet, no one remembering the past
will deny that the character of the en-.
tertainment has been greatly modified
since Mrs. Hayes came to Washington.
The spirit of antagonism born of
the old wanton luxury that
greeted her at first, has died out, under
the kindly light of her smiling eyes, and
her reception last Saturday was as
thronged and radiant one as the White
House ever saw. Surrounded by beau
tiful girls, she and Mrs. Sherman (the
wife of the secretary, in their blooming
midsummer, looked as fair as any one of
their guests.
Another woman in Washington, who,
in the world, is not of it, is Ellen Ew
ing Sherman, the wife of the General of
the army. Mrs. Sherman is Roman
Catholic, Mrs. Hayes is a Methodist
but doubt if change of difference
could be discovered in their influence on
the community of Christians This in
fuence is SO positive and unquestioned
in both women it could never be mis-
taken. If Mrs. Hayes had told ne that
her son was to he Methodist minister,
| doubt if her eyes could have held
quite the JOY that l saw in Mrs. Sher
mans Wien she spoke Of her boy now
studying for the priesthood. "For three
long years he was called 10 God before
he went" No Methodist could have
uttered these words with deeper unc-
ten or more radiant face. As he
