baby, the little Maria, came, surely there
was no home in the wide world more
blessed than Miss Campbell's.
And did Alice ever know that the good
Jacob who had watched and waited on
her all these years, was more than mere
servant to her? l suspect that she did.
Then why did she not help him rise to a
more exalted position?
A more exalted position! What! from
being Miss Campbell's footman help him
to be a mere-gentleman? Perish the
thought! You mightas well suggest that
church steeple should rise to the level
of a cottage chimney!
There was no fine gentleman, l do as
sure you, who held his head half so high
as did Jacob on this very morning.
For, as it CHANGED, Miss Maria had
come into Alice's room with a bunch of
roses in her hand. She gave one to baby
"Mia" to play with, and put the rest
into vase.

Miss Campbell found herself actually
interested, so eager did he look. All at

Miss Maria, standing as stiff as stake,

A WINTER MOON.RISE.

wonder ii any OF my readers VINO
live in Boston have ever seen-but no,
it's not likely they would have noticed
the peculiar coupe of which | am think
ing, though it is somewhat peculiar,
having bunch of peoples and dande-
lions painted on each door. This speci-
men of high art was the brilliant idea of
the footman, and the peoples are no
redder than his hair, and the dande-
loins scarcely yellower than his face,
by reason of its multitude of freckles.
He is the spIyest footman you ever
Sbeheld; and the air with which he leaps
from his box when the coupe stops, and
the houishes with which he hands out
the gray-haired lady and younger
woman, and the paternal benignity with
which, when they have gone into store,
he fingers to protect a tWo-year-o
baby, are most edifying.
Sometimes the baby insists on being
taken out of the carriage, and you
should see the footman swell out his
chest, and strut up and down behind
her, as proud as peacock, and as fierce
as bulldog. In his eyes there never
was such an infant; there never was
such woman as its young mother,
with the exception of his mistress, the
gray-haired lady. Withouther he could
scarcely believe the sun could rise or
set. And this is how it all came to pass
One morning some thirty years ago,
Miss Maria Campbell was standing at
her parlor window, looking gloomingly
into the street. 1t was dark day, but
there must have been clouds besides
those in the sky to make such frown
between Miss Maria's eyes.
Miss Maria had had a deal of sorrow,
but alas! instead of its making her more
gentle and full of sympathy for other
people, as the dear God means all grief
to make us, it had soured her temper
and sharpened her tongue.
1.-The world is made up of cheats"
she had said bitterly to lawyer, when
the great Campbell estate was settled.
i''Of cheats and of ungrateful beggars.
I've tried being charitable, and small
thanks did l ever get for my pains. So
,Pl keep my money to myself hereafter,
i promise you"
She had been true to her word, so it
was wonder that kindly little Miss
Thatcher had dared send her a note this
very morning, asking aid for poor
woman with six fatherless children.
"Not a penny! Not a single penny"'
Miss Maria was repeating to herself, as
she stood this morning, looking into the
cherries street.
All of a sudden it scented as if the sun
.glinted from behind the leaden clouds
Was it shining-yesP-no? Why, wa;
there ever such red head as that on the
shoulders of a small boy opposite, who
was busily engaged in spelling out the
words on yellow poster on the fence

p H0T0GRAPHlNG BY ELECTRICITY.

A leading photographer told me
the other day that the recent expert
ments in photographing scenes by
electricity would soon revolutionize
the entire system of dramatic print
ing. 1t was Dan Frohman's idea to
photograph scenes with the electric
light, and the experiment was made a
year ago and was failure; but very
recently a well-known photographer
made application to repeat the expert
ment, and the success is great sur
prise in art circles. / have seen some
of the work, and it is as full of merit
as an oil painting by the old masters.
The effects of grouping. stage set
tings and dramatic situations are
so wonderfully preserved as to make
one think they are the original scenes
themselves. The artist now takes a
Photographic apparatus with 1000
candle power electric light, and goes
into a theatre and photographs an
actress just as she appears in the act
of stabbing a count. The result is
that we have picture as large as a
three-sheet bill, which can be s'thrown
up" to look as if it were a life model.
Indeed, it is SO natural that you can
almost feel the keen edge of the dag
ger and smell the blood of the noble
count as it spurts over the Persian
carpets. In a few years the bill

A DOLLAR IN HIS Doors. The rail

AND ARTIST AND A RAINBOW.

One artist, who shall be nameless,
has attempted to grace his picture
by introducing into it a rainbow.
Now. if the rainbow had been part
of the human form it would have
been studied, there would have been
books about it, and the artist would
have made it as much his own as the
student of physical science, since
some artists study anatomy as closely
as does the man of medicine, but, be
cause the rainbow happens to lie
outside that branch of scientific
knowledge which is generally sup
posed to be the only branch to which
artists need turn their attention, the
painter thinks that he may treat it
anyhow. Thus we have had rain
bows with the colors-which in ma
ture are absolutely definite in their
order and arrangement-painted in
reverse order; again, we have had
rainbow, which must always appear
to form part of a circle, painted in
perspective; but the rainbow fancier
of this year has almost transcribed
the want of observation shown by his
predecessors. Possibly ignorant of
the fact that all primary rainbows
are alike; that the order of colors,
from red through orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo, to violet, is de-
nominated by a most rigid law, to
which there is, and can be, no excep-
ton, the artist has chosen to paint
his rainbow with the violet in the
middle. This seems to indicate either
such looseness of observation or such
contempt for nature-and the painter
may take his choice between these
two alternatives-that we doubt
whether side by side with either there
can exist that sympathy with nature
which must lie at the root of all good
work in art.-[Nature.

MIsERIEs OF DEFECTIVE MEM

bad verbal memory, and latter work

quence he tried to close the sentence
with the text, mercy and truth are

peace have kissed each other But
the words escaped his recollection
and he said: Mercy and truth are
met together; and-and- two
similar sentiments have kissed each

may by nature be, it is capable Of
great improvement We have seen a
minister who. till he was forty, did
not dare to quote verse of Scripture
or line of poetry; when, hearing
some one say that The defect could be
removed, made it matter of study
and soon attained the power to quote
what he would.
