Where the daise4 grew beside the brink,
When the s1a was hot and the boys we're dry,
And tue nectar bright, that we used to drink
Who're the MOSES grew on the ole SPRING stair,
And we were too happy to paB5e and think
OF the fading moments passing there
The spring was bright where we used to drink.
And how the laughter Of boy and girl
En merry wayelets we're borne along,
With dainty glmmer OF sunny curl,
And childish prattle and mellow song.
think, sometimes, that the summer light
Shone out Of Heaven through an open chink,
And angels smiled at the joyous sight,
Beside the spring where we used to drink.
The days are gone which were Joyous then,
The school Il closed, ard The brook Il dry;
The girls are grown and the boys are men,
The spring still nurmurs Its lullaby;
The grass is green in tn meadows there,
Sill grow the daisies beside the brink
But the moss has gathered upon the stair,
Above the spring where Tg used TO drink.

With never call to button or pin,
Or tie a little shoe?
How can she keep herself busy all day,
With the little g hindering thing away?
Another basket to fill with lunch,
Another "good-by" to say,
And the mother stands at the door to see
Her baby march away;
And turns with a sigh that is half relief
And half something akin to grief.
She thinks Of possible future morn,
When the children, one by one,
Willgo from their home out into the world
To battle with life alone,
And not even the baby be left to cheer
The desoiate home of that future yezr.

Thrown down in careless haste,
And tries to think bow it would seem

Among the benefits which the world
owes to the establishment of a republic
in France must be reckoned the marked
improvements which have taken place
of late years in the fashions for ladies.
1t will be acknowledged that ladies now
dress more prettily, if not more sensi-
bly,, than they used to do, because fash
ions have become less absolute now than
they were, and ladies are freer to choose
what suits each of them best. It was
not SO In the days when the beautiful
Empress Eugene shared the throne of
Napoleon Ill, and set the fashions to
all Europe In those times the Paris
ian dressmakers used to spend the sea
son of Lent in wondering what new
style of garment her Majesty would ap-
pear in at the annual Easter outing of
Longchamps; for, as everybody knows,
it was at Easter, when the whole of the
great world used to stream toward
Longchamps in their carriages, that
the fashions for the coming year were
shown forth.
ThevEmpress, by way of doing equal
justice to all the tradesmen of the CAPT
tai, used to have her dresses made at
home, keeping a staff of twelve expert
seamstresses for the purpose, and cos
tumier whose business it was to sketch
models for new dresses and bonnets.
This great mans labor was not per-
formed In jealous secrecy, for his
sketches were examined and debated

Russian Women.

Women have played an important part
IN Russian history, says the Philadel-
phia Record, from Olge, wise and able
ruler OF the embryo empire in the mid
die of the tenth century, to Catherine
L., whose long and brilliant reign of
thirty -four years, ending in 1896, exhib-
its her as the most successful sovereign
of Russia since Peter the Great. twas
Sophia, niece of Constantine, the last
Byzantine Emperor, and wife of Ivan
Ill, who, toward the close of the ff-
teenth century, caused her imperial
spouse to introduce the arts of Giviliza-
ton into the almost barbarous realm.
The good Queen Anastasia, first of the
royal Romanoffs, is related to have ex-
ercised the most benefcent influence
over her husband, Ivan the Terrible.
The Grand Duchess Sophia, half sister
OF Peter the Great, was a singularly
able and ambitious woman, and her ed
m1nistration as Princess Regent, though
brief, marked notable epoch in the an
nails Of her country. Catharine L, and
afterward Anna, in the first half of the
eighteenth century, were weak enough

like many male rulers, by persons of
the opposite sex, and they may be re
garded rather as administrative figure
heads than otherwise. Elizabeth, who
reigned from 1740 to 1852, was an EN-
press in fact as well as in name. She
dethroned her immediate predecessor
after he had been the nominal head of
the nation for about year. During
her reign the German party was deprived
OF the undue influence it had acquired
only to abuse it; the Senate was re-
stored to the power assigned to it by
Peter the Great, her father, and her
career was altogether worthy of her il
lustrious origin. Her successor, Peter
Ill, was, by a noteworthy repetition of
history, dethroned by his gifted and en-
ergetic consort who. as Catharine H.,
entered upon reign whose splendor Of
achievements and sagacity OF govern
mental methods compare favorably
with the career of any monarch the
world has ever seen.

Beautiful Women.
It is not the smiles of a pretty face.
the delicate tint of complexion. the en-
chanting glance Of the eye, the beauty
and symmetry of person, nor the costly
dress or decorations, that compose Won

pertinent, her chaste conversation, the
sensibility and purity of her thoughts,
her affable and open disposition, her
sympathy with those in adversely, her
comforting and relieving the afflicted
and distressed, and, above all, the hum
bleness of her soul, that constitute true
loneliness. Disraei observes, "It is at
the foot of women we lay the laurels
that, without her smile, would never
have been gained; it is her image that
strings the Tyre of the poet, that ami
mates the voice in the blaze of ELOQUENT

Jennie June's Delicate Advice 10
The choice of underwear is a great
element in its GOODNESS and daintiness of
summer dress. Square cut and neatly
made combinatiole garments of thin,
but not very fine, batiste are best for
workers who cannot afford linen, lawn
and cambria. As for silk, they should
only be worn occasionally, even by the
rich, in summer, as they will not look
well or remain soft after many wash
ings, and cleanliness in hot weather re-
quires frequent changes. A gauze skirt

It is noticeable that ladies who make

4 common mistake in the cultivation
Of this plant is to imagine that it re-
quires an enormous space to perfect its
growth in. OF course, if it is allowed
to wander at its own sweet will it will
occupy q great deal of ground. But this
is not at all the best way to get ripe
fruit, though any amount of leaves,
stalks and green tomatoes may be pro-
duced by it. Please give the following
fair trial. Set the plants in rows two
feet apart, and fifteen inches between
the plants in the row.
When the first bunch of buds has
fairly made its appearance nip off the
whole of the shoots growing between
the stem and branches, but allow the
main stem to grow on until four, or at
most, five, punches of buds are formed.
Then the plant being, probably, about
three feet high, pinch Off the main
stem. three inches from the highest
bunch. and continue to nip off the shoots
as before, as fast as they make their app

capable of producing will be secured.
