Loneliness.

In moods of transient mOurnfulness,
With morbid meaning rife.
Sometimes we prate of solitude
The loneliness of life.
But, could we follow silently
single dying breath,
How quickly we would understand
The loneliness of death.
William ii. Hayne in the American.
Knowest thou not how it happens
That the dear ones diet
God walks daily in his garden
While the sun shines high.
In that garden there are roses,
Beautiful aud bright,
And He gazes round, delighted
With the lovely sight.
If He mark one gayly blooming,
Than the rest more fair,
He will pause to look on it
Full of tender care.
And the beauteous bud once gathered
In his bosom lies,
Bnt on earth are tears and sorrow,
For the dear one dies.

The Woman with a Purpose.

Atlantic Monthly for November
When it was all over, my friend said, 80
that is woman in earnest Do you suppose
it is her earnestness that makes her SO unpre-
possessing?'
This is my perplexity reduced to it's last
equation; Was it her earnestness?
My friend held that it was. 'If you have
observed" said she. women with aims ara
always like that. They are too superior to,
condescend to make themselves agreeable.
Besides they haven't time. Then they never.
can see but one side of a questionable side
they are on. They are always dragging.
their own opinions to the front, and
always running full tilt against every one
elses. That is where they differ most
from women who haven't purposes and who
have seen a good deal of the world. 1t
is the business of woman of the world to
be agreeable. She spares no pains to make
herself Just as good-looking as possible, and
Just as charming. And she is always toler-
ant She may think you a fool for your be-
lefs, but she doesn't tell you so brutally, or
try TO crush you with an avalanche of argu-
ment. She tries to look at the matter from
your point of view; in short, she feigns a
sympathy, if she have it not. Your women
with purpose think 1t wrong TO felgn any
thing. They won't pretend to be sympa-
thetic any more than they will powder their
faces, or let their dress-maker improve their
figures. That's why they are so boring; they

conscientious TO be polite. II is earnestness
does it; earnestness is naturally narrowing
1t is earneStneSS, too, sets their nerves
in culver and makes them so restless
They can never sit still; they are always
twitching, don't you know? That's earnest
ness. 1t has a kind of electrical effect.
Women In earnest have no repose of manner
But woman of the world feigns that, Just
as she feigns sympathy, because it makes her
pleasant to other people. Oh there's no
doubt of it; women with purpose are vastly
better than other women, but they are not
nearly so nice!'
My own experience corroborates my
friends opinions Women with a purpose.
women in earnest, have a noticeable lack OF
charm. And regret to say that the nobility
of the purpose does not in the least affect the
quantity of charm. Very likely, their busy
lives, and the hard fight they have had to
wage with social prejudices aud moral
anachronisms may have something to do
with it.
But after making al deductions, I wonder
if my friends theory does not hit somewhere
near the mark.

THE imperative mood characterlzes very much
that Is being said in the newspapers about Sc
curing hotels against fire. The imperative is n
favortc mood with newspapers. 1t Is a vrluous
and Il just mood, grounded in II proper indigna-
tion. That II is impoIcnt to enforce itself is not
the fault of those who use it. Unfortunately even
its full habitation in authority would not
restore life to any of the poor dead
in tho ruins of the Newhall. :Aud
unfortunately. also it falls upon living ears us
dead to it as any dead ears are dead to anything.
To secure the safety OF their guests would cost the
hotel keepers Of this country several thousand
dollars, first and last and the expenditure OF
money is not part of the system Of anyAnan wh
knows how to keep hotel" They can argue To
you that a house Of cards and paper and tar Is
perfectly safe; that in the total number of peonlC
who stop at hotels each year the percentage
of lives lost by fire is very, very small
and that it is all right with their ro.
spectlye tayerns no matter how all wrong
IL may have been with those that have burned
The newspaper imperative mood blows against
this kind of stupidity as wind against rocks. Il
ayaIls not, nor will anything, until legislation
compels as much safety in hotels as 1t does in
steamboats,.
