Beautiful Grandma.

Grandma sits In her quaint arm chair,
Never was lady more sweet and fair;
Her gray locks ripple like silver shells,
And her brow its own calm story tells,
ora gentle life, and peaceful even,
A Atrust I'm God, and hope in heaven.
Little girl May sits rocking away.
In her own low seat, like some winsome fay /;
Two doll babies her kisses share,
And another one lies by the side of her
chair;
May is as fresh as the morning dew
Cheekes of roses and ribbons of blue.
Say. grandma" says the pretty elf,
"Tell me story about yourself,
When you was little what did you play?
Was you good or naughty the whole day?
Was it hundreds and hundreds of years ago2
snow?"
"Dtd you have mama to hug and kiss?
And dolly like this, and this and this?
Did you have pussy like my little KateG
Did you go to bed when the clock struck
eight?
Did you have long curls, and some beads
like mine?
A new silk apron with ribbons fine?
Grandma smiled at the little maid,
And, laying aside her knitting said:
"Go to my desk and red box you'll see !;
Carefully lift and bring to me-"
So May put her dollies away and ran,
Saying: "I'll be careful as ever can"
Then grandma opened the box, and lol
A beautiful child, with throat like snow,
Lips just tinted like pink shells, rare,
Eyes of hazle, and golden hair;
Hands all dimpled and teeth like pearls,
Fairest and sweetest of little girls.
30, who is it?" cried winsome May.
How wish she was here to-day
Wouldn't l love her like everything?
Give her my doll and my new gold ring.
Say, dear grandma, "who can she be"
"D Ring" said grandma, "that child was
me-"
May looked long at the dimpled grace
And then at the saint-li like fair old face;
"How funny" she cried, with smile and
kiss,
To have such darling little grandma as
this.
"Still," she added, with smiling zest.
"I think dear grandma like you best"
So May climbed on the silken knee,
And grandma told her her history,
What plays she played and what toys she
had,
How at times she was naughty, or good
or sad;
"But the best thing you did," said May,
"don't you see?-
Was to grow to beautiful grandma to me-"

a colt and suffered concussion of the

found that in the matter of England,
one-third Of the pudding furnaces were
idle. The laborer in the English coal

The mills are running only part Of the

ity. To increase the wretcbedness Of
these unfortunate operators, Belgian
iron, such as beams, girders, and the
like, Is put down in England at consid-
srable saving. Two thousand tons OF
this iron are being used in the great rail-
way depot now building at Glasgow. and
large quantities are used at numerous
other places. The Commissioner visited
several glass factories, and comes to tho
conclusion that foreigners still manufac-

beginning to favor protection, believing
that free trade curtails their wages. Bel

this season as low as two cents and q

ers along the Hudson say grape'raising
is the best source of steady income that
they could have. A great quantity Of
grapes in these vineyards was frosted,
but they were sold readily to the wine
makers Of the western part OF New York.

from fiften to twenty-five dollars the

The subject Of cremation is again at
tracing considerable attention, and the
adoption Of the practice in this country
would seem to be only question Of
time. 1t is probable very many oil our
medical men would favor the practice
openly were they to meet with rea.
sonable amount Of public encourage
mont. So far there have been but a
score Of corpses cremated, all at WASH
ington, Pennsylvania. and half of the
number being from the city of New
York. In Europe there are organized
societies in very many Of the large cities,
and their members number thousands.
Religious belief has, very properly,
nothing to do with the question. OF
the dead ineinerated In those countries,
according to recent French paper,
two.thirds were Protestants, one.fourth
Catholics, and the rest were Jews. The
argument that cremation should not be
practioed because 1t interferes with the
resurrection Of the body is simply alb
surd. Were 1t tenable what must we
believe concerning the ultimate con.
dition of the myriads Of martyrs who
have been burned to death, to say moth.
ing Of that Of persons who have been
the victims of other firesi The decay of
body laid in earth is simply slower
combustion, and one infinitely more re.
pugnant to our sensibilities. In the
vicinity OF burying. grounds the air and
the water carry the germs of disease,
sometimes to great distances, snd cases
where friends have met their death in
consequence of attending funerals are
known to most Of us. Hamlet's opinion
that "water be a sore oorrupter of your
whoreson dead body" is not correct; on
the contrary, the reverse is true. On
the other hand, Of all the elements fire
is the only true purifier. Again, tho
practice Of cremation will certainly bo
economical. The Omitted States Gre
nation Company" recently incorpor-
ated, offers cremation after the most
approved modern method at a cost not
to exceed twenty dollars. On all ao-
counts it is to be hoped that, before very
many years, the practice of cremation
will become popularized in this country.

THE general convention of the Episeo.
pal Church lately held at Philadelphia,
was notable because Of the harmony
characterizing the proceedings, Sub
jeots were introduced which a few years
since would have caused bitter strife be
tween high-churchmen and low.ehurch
men, but by tacit consent apparently,
these were allowed to drop without dis
cussion. A house divided against itseli
cannot stand, and the members of the
convention, though many OF them are
known to differ widely on several i'm
portant points, wisely concluded that il
is better to dwell together in brotherly
harmony, and that peace and prosperity
are one and inseparable. The proceed
ings of the convention certainly furnish
an example worthy OF emulation to al
deliberative bodies Of men, whether they
consist Of priests or laymen.

A New neuub,ieap Dcparsure.

HAoKKssAcK, N. j., Nov. 90 The
Republican will contain tomorrow an
interview with VIM. Walter Phelps,
member-elect Of the next Congress, in
which he gives expression to general
wish among the Republican members OF
the next House that ex-Speaker kiefer
should refuse TO be candidate for the
empty honor OF denomination. 1t seerns
that Phelps has written to Kiefer, at the
suggestion Of members from different
parts Of the country, some OF whom
have served before, Others who enter
Congress for the first time. They be-
lieve their party will be strengthened by
taking q new departure, and that
the House Of Representatives Is
the best place to begin the new
movement In the selection of new
names for all positions. 1t Is said the
reason why Phelps was selected TO carry
on this correspondence was because he
Is not personally acquainted with the
ex,Speaker, aud, being New Jersey
Republican, he has not been involved
ia any Of the factional quarrels OF the
party. He Is therefore acceptable to
both the stalwarts, and half-breeds. In
this interview Phelps expressed the
opinion that the ex.Speaker, having the
welfare of the Republican party at
heart, will not fail to recognize that Its
future success depends on united ac-
ton. which can only be obtained by
mutual, full and friendly concessions
and the avoidance Of any action that
will tend to keep up the Disagreement
Of the past two or three years. Phelps,
In the name OF the party and the ooun-
try, has appealed to Keller to announce
to his friends that he will not accept
the nomination. He felt sure that
Keifer's example would be followed by
the Sergeant at Arms and other officers
Of the last house. Keiier's reply is not
