4 STORY OF THE CONFESSIONAL

Mrs. Rose Terry Cookies poem at the COM
mencement Of Smith College, Northampton,
Mass, was pretty ideal story of the confess
sional. A simple little maid asks the priest
what to do in this world, which she does not
know and greatly breads. The priest advises
her in this wise:
''I give to thee
A daily service for God to do;
Work that shall keep thee safe and true,
Whatever evil shall walk abroad,
When loss and passion beset thy road,
And prayer and penance have no avail,
This shall hold thee with hands of steel.
Fast aud strong to the Maker of man.
Sow by the waysde every day
Seeds Of the common flowers that grow
In field, or wood, or the kings highway,
But only those that gayly blow,
Scatter them daily up and down,
Through dirty lane and glittering town
By every path where the children play
By every road where the beggars stray,
By the churches door and the market stall,
By peasants hut and by castle wall;
Let no one sun 60 down and say
ssShe hath not planted flower today
Not to every hana is it given
To set a tree that shall rise towards heaven,
Nor yet to make a garden fair
With costly roses and tulip flames,
And blossom bells 50 rich and rare
That the lip is daunted with their names
But the simples maid can scatter seeds
In eAery crevice by every path;
And blossoms may OvergrOw the woods,
And the earth grow beauty instead of wrat b,
The little maid arose and smiled:
The lest had forgotten his treary moods.
He looked in her face like mother mild,
And said, I have used similitudes.' Z"
''By;t she was only simple child fresh from
the convent solitudes'-and she took the coun-
sci literally; the poet describing how she scat
tered the seeds of the common flowers
s'And many hard man turned to say
With trembling lips an orison,
When clinging branches and blossoms gay
By his prison window would wave and run.
The weary woman and working man
Blessed in their heaats the wayside flowers,
And many toiling artisan
Gathered thought for his handicraft
From the graceful blooms that round him
laughed
And every day the little maid
Grew less and less of her life afraid,
For toll and trouble were all forgot;
The strife and SHINING vexed her not;
Her fear and sorrow were both allayed,
And peace on the days poor duties laid
Peace, that from heaven on white wings
strayed,
When she saw the light in gloomy eyes
Flash at blossoms sweet surprise,
And children running the flowers to pull,
With lips of laughter and small hands full,
And the blessing of Him who sees through all
The whirl of the words that on him call
The tiniest sparrow's fluttering fall
And makes for His children the blossoms SIN all,
Fell on her heart like morning dew,
And filed her being with gladness true.
Though she never guessed what the old priest
meant
When seed-sower into the world be sent"
And tho moral is of all that
eDaily, hourly, loving and giving,
In the poorest life make, heavenly living"

Italians and Peanuts.

Interview with an American peanut seller
An Italian would live for day and half
on what it costs me to get dinner. Italians
alone are fit for the peanut business. They
scoop in everything that is to be got out Of
it. They are in every hole and corner where
peanut can be sold. Next month they will
send every woman, boy and girl of their
families on all the excursion boats to sell
the nuts. They will hawk them to excur-
sions and stores, Offices and factories every.
where throughout the city and suburbs.
Respectable merchants, like myself, you
know, wait for customers 70 patronize us,
but these Italians are itinerant yagabonds
who would sell even right at my corner here
if they were not afraid that I'd break their
bones for SO doing.
They starye themselves to make money:
is that so?
That's SO; have heard on indisputable
authority that some of these fellows have
saved as much as $40, 900 and 81, 900 from
years of patient outstanding of the nickles
and half-starving themselves. It is not an
uncommon thing for an Italian peanut ven
der to be worth ST. ZOO before he is able to
say little more in English than five cents
and "ten cents. Let us do them the JUS
and relatives in Italy round sum Of money
every year.
The peanut, in your theory, seems to sup
plant the "hurdy -gurdy.''
The organ has become rather unpopular.
Peanuts have become cheap for few years
past, and it is easy to lay in stock. As
result, in every large and small city of this
country, every town. village and hamlet.
even away out to the borders Of civilization
in far off mining districts you will find the
Italians in swarms or in doubles selling the
peanut ware. They have a monopoly of
the trade. Lot them have it, I saw. There
amt millions it.in
! London World There would seem to
be no end to the imitation Of things Ameri-
can. Wise old croakers may shake their
heads as they please. The gamble is car
RED wildly on, and all sorts of enterprises
are being set going to fan the fame. There
Is sure. OF course, to be the inevitable end
OF all this; but before it comes there will
be room for the making Of many fortunes.
and as all Of us think the whole world NOR
tai except our own sweet selves each gam
bier hopes to be among the happy few.
There is no appearance Of the buoyancy
breaking down yet awhile, at all events. OF
course in the long run it will be greatly
overdone. There will be too many rail-
roads built too many combinations made
and too many rash ventures of all sorts.
The general community, however, will be
the better in the end for what is now being
done"
