1T will but make the child grieve
more" reasoned her aunt; and with the
seal unbroken laid it on the flames.
For what had Clara hoped us the
weary days went by Had she expected
any answer to the poor little note with
which she had struggled to bolster up her
pridei
Paler and more wan she grew as her
hope died. Truly she was under the
spell" said her aunt sadly; but her own
lips were dumb, until the strain on
brain and heart gave way, and the name
she had held so long unspoken was
breathed in every accent of love and des-
pair from her fever parchcd lips. as she
lay tossing in dclirium.
Her aunt, good woman though she
was, could have cursed the names owner
as she listened, shudderingly, to its re-
petition.
my own poor little lamb ~ she would
whisper, tearfully. "why might he not
have spared you 2"
But one day when the whisper had
spread abroad that Clara yelling was
dying, man, haggard and white. forced
himself into her presence.
''Let me see her p he entrcated.
Some spirit rose in tho crushed heart
at sight of him.
"You would see your victim 2" she
questioned with scorn. wait until

one little month ago my dearest hope
was to make Clara my wife All, heaven!

tell me she is dying. Let me but see
her once"
Was the man speaking false ? or, had
she, who had meant to save the child,
brought this to pass
"Wait here" she commanded, and
hurried from the room.
When she returned she carried in her
hand sheet of paper

Instead of calling the months by ridicu-
lous old names. derived from the Latin,
we would describe them by names which
would suggest the most prominent quail
tiles Of the months. That would enable
children to learn the names readily on
the Kindergarten plan, as applied by Mr..
Squeers. The months, il this sensible
plan were adopted. would be named as
follows: January would be Slushuary
February, Slopuary; March, Winduary;
April, Rainuary May, Buduary; June.
Warmuary July, Roastuary; August.
Broiluary September, Obituary; Octo-

occur upon Friday than upon any other

Plumpness n RequI.ite.

Instead of saying that there is an ex-
cess of 30, 900 women in Massachusetts,.
we shall be able to reason more clearly
if we simply say that there are 30, 900
unmarried women in that interesting
State. Ii the facts are stated in this way
we at once see that, instead OF troubling
ourselves about over-production, we
should merely ask: Why are these
women unmarried? The answer is not
difficult to find. The women are un-
married because they are OF pattern
which has of late years gone out of
fashion. About the same time that gray
trousers in England drove out the black
trousers, which, in connection with the
black satin waistcoat and black dress
coat. formerly constituted the walk
costume of the American citizen, there
was introduced the plump English
style of girl. The latter soon be-
came enormously popular, and the bony
and specialized maidens of Mas
sachusetts soon became drug in
the market 1t was still generally
conceded that the Massachusetts
girls knew more about Emerson's phi
losophy and Alcott's Orphic utterances
than did her plumper rival, but the mer-
its of the former were not longer able
to awaken enthusiasm. The Boston po-
etieal young man no longer wrote sonets
expressing the emotions of his heart on
hearing the bones of his beloved rattle
as she ran to greet him at the gate, and
the Boston youth of fashion no longer
proposes at public dinners the once IA
miliar toast Beauty and Bones" in
honor of the spare sex. In fact, spare
and Angular girls went out of fashion,
and Massachusetts men went outside OF
the boundaries of New England when
they sought for wives Chicago TFi-

Influence or the Weather.

The late DIR. Bushnell used to tell the
following anecdote to show the influence
of climate upon the Judgment. As they
were coming out of church one drizzly
Sunday, his wife remarked:
''You had better burn that sermon; it
isn't worth repeating anywhere"
Il shall do no such thing" answer
ed, little vexed: ''the sermon is up to
my average"
She persisted, and said little more.
But year or two afterwards, on bright.
CHEEKY Sunday in May-one of those
days that make discourse go off itself
l took that same sermon again. And as
we came down the aisle after service, sne
whispered without the slightest notion
that she had heard it before) II would
mark that to preach on exchange. 1t is
better than common"

zlncplate suspender buckle.
a wreath Of natural shoemakers' wax hung
in ravishing waves from the waist, while
loops Of molasses candy heightened the can
die appendages of the basque de coat. The
train was massive and decollete. 1t was
georgeously resplendent with a row of richly
embroidered shells de oyster, sprinkled with
assorted grains of costly coal de ashe. Sur
mounting all was q rich Oriental mantle OF
bag de cordage, which was p%lnioned at the
right shoulder Of the fair wearer with a shin
gle de nail, on which was a leyiathan carved
dome, wrought entirely of rare pieces Of gum
de spruce.
The fair wearer of all this magnificent ap-
parel wore a tin star buried III a perfect tor
rent Of a red-hot coal-black hair, while she
glided through the mazes of the dance like a
gaZelle with its right arm in q sling. When
she brought her pretty little Cinderella slip
per down upon the marble tiles Of the festive
hall, the ALTERS in the building shook with
silver laughter, while the crockery in the
cellar, like enchanted fairies, leaped up and
kissed the floor underneath. When excited
and full of enthusiasm, this lovely little Venus
opened her mouth, revealing two massive
rows of pearl that reminded the enchanted
beholder Of trains Of Whitewashed cars Gid
on wings of love through Hoosac magnid-
cent tunnel. Her musical laugh sent a thrill
of delight across the mass of surging, wor-
Shipping humanity, like the trickling Of cold

lust filled his boots with chocolate ice cream.

are made a trif1e shorter than the tabs and
are gathered at the end, forming as they nang
the sides Of the garment. The loose paletots,
with Russian sleeves, are SHRED at the neck
and waist, back and front, making them close
fitting, and they are especially suitable for
slender figures. The sleeves are also shlrred
at the wrists and where they are joined to
the armhole, and finished with a ruff1e at
each edge.
Spring gloves in dressed kid are shown IN
tasteful blue-grays, which begin with a pale
French gray and shale into Russian gray,
iron gray, and finally into ink color, black
blue and b~lack-purple. Nut browns are
shown in flbert-nut, in deep English walnut,
in dark chestnut brown, and in ebony brown.
Olive colors begin with olive, shade into
olive green, dark sea-green, and finally INTO
green-black. Condor colors, on the maize
tints, are in shades grading into deep tan-col-
or. Mousquetaire buttonless gloves and but
ton gloves are equally used. New button
gloves are finished at the wrist with quarter
inch welts and buttonholes o. 8 white kid,
which are especially desirable in the black
gloves, as they prevent the black kid croch-
ing the hand.
The embroidered gloves in black will be
heavily wrought in solid color with crimson,
white, blue, and gold-colored silk. The en-
broidery.. in gold-color is intensified in e.
feet by fine chain stitching in threads Of

Vennor>s Weather for q Year.

The spring will be fairly early, hot and
dry, and the midsummer cool and wet. The
autumn promises to be open, dry and fine.
There is likely to be a great deal OF sickness
during the year, but the Wea,her-except in
a few isolated sections, will be favorable to
agricultural pursuits. The winter of 1882
bids fair to be open and generally mild with
but few, and those short lived, storm periods.

Light perfect and visible,
Go,ihead of God,
God indivisiblc,
Lifts but Ills rod,
And the shadows arc scattered i'm sunder an
darkness fs light at His nod.
