SPEAKING UNDER DIFFICULTIES

SPEAKING UNDER DsFFIcULT1Es.-
Mr.. Plotke, a German representative
in the Illinois Legislature, was one
of the Committee of the House, sent
to Chester, to investigate the State
Penitentiary. While there he de-
livered an address to the convicts in
the penitentiary. It was certainly
speaking under difficulties. The St.
Louis Republican reports the open
ing remarks of his speech as follows:
l hardly know wot to say to you.
l cannot call you shentlemens, be.
cause you is not shentlemeas, and
den again l cannot call you trends,
because dot might gif meinself away.
Wot shall l call you den? I will call
you members Of the Soudden Illinois
penitcntiary, shoost the same as we
are members Of the Illinois sheneral
assembly. You have been unani
mously elected to gil the places you
have widin desc walls shoost The
sane as We members of the sheneraI
assembly have been elected. l can.
not say dot / am glad dot you is
here because dot might make you
feel bad aud den again l cannot say
dot | am sorry dot you is here, be-
cause I dink it was goot dot you was
here now because you is here. l
hope you will do your duty Shoes,
de same as We do our duty for de

WHITE YI0LETS.

The children of her Sabbath school
Plucked them in valleys green aud cool,
Before the dew was dry; s
And now beside her book of prayer,
Famed softly by the April air, a., &,
The tender blossoms lie.
How fresl, they are! how fit to rest
Upon her happy girlish breast, T.
10 nestle in her hair; -.
White symbols Of her Sheltered life,
That blooms untouched by worldly
strife,
Uncrossed by worldly care.
They seem to cling with conscious love
10 broidered kerchief, dainty glove,
Dropped in her pretty haste
10 greet the wOrld-worn weary man,
Who, lingering near her for a span,
Doth purest pleasure taste. @
| watch her guide with tendance sweet
Her aged fathers lettering feet
Along the terraccd way;
watch her face-and sigh the WHILE
The candid brow, the frank, free smile
OF maiden in her May. ;em
The peacock screams his quaint delight,
The hounds bound forward in her sight,
The kitten follows nigh,
The doves coo softly at her call,
Dear queen and lady of them all
Now wherefore do l'sigh?

These violets white, and strive to slake
A furnace with their dew, r.
AS seek to link into my life
OF passionate unrest and strife a
This maiden sweet aud true. ~
1t were as meet that / should ask
A saint to share my worldly task,
AS speak of love to her,
Within whose spirit clean and white,
Attuned to innocent delight,
The childish pulses stir.
I touch her kerchief and her glove
| might have power to fill with love
Her young nntainted heart;
Pass on, my white wood violet!
God give thee love without regret,
And Joy without smart;
For not with me do these abide;
A life so wrecked by PASSIONS tide
dare not offer thee;
Fulfill thy life with happy hours,
At peace among thy birds and flowers,
Thou art too pure for me!

The LAST AGONY. The lady who
does the fashion correspondence for
the Cincinnati Enquirer, recently
called OH a giddy New York girl,
who has nothing under heaven to do
but to follow the fashions. She
found her reclining on lounge in
her boudoir, wearing what is called
a tea gown shaped not unlike a long,
loose paletot, with elbow sleeves, or
angel sleeves, looped and gathered
up at the wrists. The material of
the garment was combination Of
brocade in g)ld and silver with silk
gauze. The writer says: Anything
more Oriental could hardly BIZ found
out of the Orient itself. Over her
bosom was fichu Of lace, laid over
the shoulders and crossing in front;
bunch Of red flowers was fastened
at her belt; her abundant black hair
was brushed back with well-counter.
feited negligence; the toes fher ex
tended feet were stuck into embroid-
cred sandals, and her stockings were
a true flesh color. A glorious crea-
ture she looked, truly, as she lay
there in her studied carIessness of
finery. But what | set out to say
was that incense was burning at her
side. Yes, fragrant smoke was ris
ing lazily from an incinerating pas.
tile in bronzed dish. This is q
new freak Of the girls. The scent
bottle is put aside, and rooms and
clothes are perfumed with incense
If The practice lasts long the canni,
bal who eats fashionable girl will
find her smoked through, like ham,
only spicier.."
