Society's Mistake.
women.

The gallows, the penitentiary, the
Jail, are the shame of our civilization,
and the society that neglects its chill
dren and let's them grow up in ignor-
ance and vice is responsible for the gal
lows, the penitentiary and jail. Society
ignores the child Of poverty or misfor-
tune; friendless and guideless, he is left
to work his way through our unfeeling
world. He is lured into the haunts of
vice, learns to steal, to drink, to MUIR
der. Then outraged society seizes him,
iails him, hangs him. The neglected,
abandoned child becomes the wicked
outlaw for whom prisons and scaffolds
are built. How much better and more
creditable to our Christianity and civil
ization would it be if the millions tha'
are annually spent in watching, prose
cutting, Furnishing and feeding criminals
were spent in looking after and caring
| for the unfortunate outcasts from whom
the criminal class mainly comes, an'
or whom nobody seems to care.

Smoking in japan.

Smoking is universal, followed by
men, women and children, who smoke
on all occasions. Do they transact busi-
ness together, the bargain concluded,
they sit down around charcoal brazier
and draw forth their pipes, which hold
a piece of tobscco the size of a pea, and
allows them about two good whiffs.
The filing and refilling, the knocking
of the little balls of lighted tobacto o into
their hands to relight the new pipeful
with, affords them occupation for their
hands while their tongues run unceas-
ingly. Shopmen, ook-keepers. travel
lers, workmen and officials, one and all
must smoke, and one never sees Japs in
the street or moving around anywhere,
without their pipes and tobacco pouches
which look like wallets tucked in theii
girdles. The tobacco is native and very
poor indeed.

The Virginia Accent. !.

The Virginia accent is made fine sport
of by most Northern pens writing OF the
habits and manners Of that class which
frequent resorts like the White Sulphur
and the "Old Point" It does seem
absurd and nnmelodic as written. But
you cannot write it .phonetically. We
attempt itwith "suh" for "sir," and with
an eiision of the final letter, as in lido"
for "door." They and the like give
really no idea of this Southern pronun-
citation. have never met a person who,
having an acquaintance with Virginia
lady or gentleman Of cultivation has not
been charmed with the quaint and
sweet fashion of speech that prevails
from the James to the Shenandoah.
Listen to it on the piazza and in the
parlors of this hotel, where are gathered
representatives of the best people in the
State. They speak slowly, their voices
are low and we'll attuned, the "a" is
always broad, and the ''r," following
vowel, is rarely sounded. 1t is provinc-
ial, but doubtless no candid observer
had not rather have even this provin-
cialism try his ears than the kigh-priced,
incisive tones that one hears at any
given resort in the North. But it sounds
queerly enough as it salutes you when
you enter the hotel doors, and amuses
you whenever you may pass two or three
Virginians talking together. 1t is as if
you were among another people
rather as if you had fallen among COM
pany of foreigners who have learned to
speak English very perfectly, but can
not rid themselves of strong remem-
brance of the mother tongue. Then
there are the two shibboleths OF the
Southern man or woman-"I reckon"
and the ''oh' that seldom fails to prefix
an address. ooh, John !" calls the wife
to her husband. "Oh, Annie |" calls
out the young girl to her companion in
the water. Some one has said that it is as
impossible for Southerner even to un'
learn this habit, as it is for a Frenchman
to thoroughly master the English eth, y
He who is born South of Mason and
Dixon's line, though he spends his youth

in Northern cities, must betray his

The Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army is one f the most
novel religious organizations which even
the unconventional methods of revival
work have ever produced. The associa-
tion is modelled on the army system
throug ghout, having its general, majors,
captains, lieutenants, general staff and
2 600 'ssoldiers," male and female. 1t
had its origin in England, and has 231
corps or stations in that country, while
of late three have been established in
America, one in France and one In
Australia. The Army owns or hires
273 buildings in England, and holds
4,3O0 services every week, but it's opera
tions consist largely in out of-door meet
ings and professions through the streets
singing gospel songs. Their emotional
methods always serve to draw crowd,
and in not few cases members of the
Army have been arrested for obstruct-
ing the streets. The contingent detailed
in this country has carried on its opera
tions vigorously in New York and the
adjacent cities, having lately conducted
a vigorous campaign in Brooklyn. Their
favorite time for holding services is
when workm are going to their homes
from their days work, and the little
company of men and women "soldiers,"
drawn up on the steps of the City Hall.

Lodged in O Bath.

A newly-married pair, who arrived
on their honeymoon trip at cele-
brated Scotch watering place at time
when accommodation was at pre-
MUM, had mattress spread for them
by compassionate innkeeper in one of

the house was alarmed by loud shrieks
proceeding from the nuptial chamber.
What was the matter? Well, this.
The young bride, wishing to ring for q
maid, had caught hold of what she
presumed to be the bell-rope, and
pulled it smartly. Unhappily for her

Major Flint had stood fire for three
whole days, but flesh and blood could
endure it no longer. Not waiting to
hear more, he bounded to his feet and
rushedanto the hall. Here he seized his
bat in both hands, jammed it down over
his eyes, and started for the street.
Then, as if forgetful OF something, he
retraced his steps, and, thrusting his
head in at the open door. he shouted,--
"Can you tell me where Mrs. Burns
went when she left here?"

To a Dead Humble Bee.

O humble bee that all day long
Hast hummed thy note the dells among
Whence came the pang that laid thee low
Just as the summer gan to glowp
No more on humming pinions borne
Shalt thou thy course pursue
To where the roses blush at morn,
Begemmed with crystal dew.
For thee no more the verdant field
Shall spread its veil Of flowers,
And to thy probe sweet honey yield
In summers sunny hours.
Thou mindest me of happy days
In scenes of vernal bloom,
When have roamed in rural ways.
And heard the wild bees hum.
Among the wild flowers that adorn
The dingle and the brae,
1hou'st winded oft thy drowsy horn
Upon the devious way.
A wondrous insect guided thee
In many a lengthy fight
To sweet-briar bank and flowery tire
From morn till dewy night.
When fate dissolves the slender tie
That binds the world to me,
Then at my daily task I'd die.
Like thee, sweet humble bee.
Fen noxious herbs can sweetness yield,
As we'll as those we prize;
So. mid the ills of life concealed,
Are blessings in disguise.

Two Women.


A grandma sits in her great armchair
Balmy sweet is the soft spring air.
Through the latticed, lilac-shadowed pane
She looks to the orch rd beyond the lane;
And she catches the CLEAN of woman's dress.
AS it flutters about in the winds ciress.
'That child is glad as the day is long
Her lovers coming, her life's song p
Up from the orchards fowery bloom
Floats fragrance faint to the darkening r1om
Where grandma dreame, till q tender grace
And softer light ste il into her face.
For once again she is young and fair,
And twining roses in her hair.
Once, again, blithe as the lark above,
She is only girl, and girl in love!
The years drop from her their weary pain
She is clasped in her lovers arm again
The last faint glimmers Of daylight die;
Stars tremble out of the purple sky,
Ere Dora fits up the garden path,
sadly afraid of grandmas wrath.
With rose-red cheeks and flying hair
She nestles down in her old armchair.
Grandma, Dick says, may we-may-I-"
The faltering voice grows strangely shy.
But grandma presses the little hand:
eyes, my dearie, I understand
s'He may have you, darling r Not all in vail
Did grandma dream she was young again
She gently twists shining curl:

And love will outweigh all the rest n
And through the easement the moonlight col
Streams on two heads--one gray, one gold.

MANAGING A HUSBAND.

''True, Major Flint is wealthy man,
and good-looking, withal, but if you
marry him he will make you his slave
take my word for it, Miss Atherton."
: "Do you think so?" said the lady ad-
dressed, quietly, looking up from her
embroidery.
"Think so2 know it. You cannot
have forgotten bow his first wife Jared.
So gentle and lovely, too, as she was.
yet the poor women never dared say
her soul was her own-neverI If she
had had different husband, she would
undoubtedly have been ali7e to-day"
'.Very likely, Mrs. May"
Sand yet, knowing all this, you arc
going to take her place"
eMajor Flint will find me very diff
ferent person from his first wife," said
Miss Atherton, composedly. "How-
ever, as do not wish to anticipate sor-
row, we will, if you please, dismiss the
subject"
This was not the first remonstrance
Miss Atherton had received on the sub
ject Of her approaching marriage. but
she had made up her mind, it appeared,
and was now occupied in making prep
arations for the wedding.
What had been said respecting Major
Flint and his first wife was unquestion.
ably true. He was domestic tyrant,
and holding the female understanding
in very slight esteem, considered that
the wife ought, in all respects, to be
gubservient to tho husbands will.
His reason for marrying again wa'
principally from the fact that he found
no housekeeper who would be suffi
ciently subservient to his whims ant
caprices. Having lost one after another
he came to the conclusion that he need
ed wife, and soon resolved to tende
his hand to Grace Atherton, who ha
been warm personal friend OF his lof
wife. We will not analyze her motive
for accepting his proposal, thong
probably regard for Mr.. Flint's tw
helpless little children, who resemble
their mother rather thar their fathe
influenced her rs much as any otht
motive. However that might be, tE
