NURSES.

The graduation of another class
from the Training School for Nurses,
attached to Bellevue Hospital, adds
twenty-sevcn recruits to corps of
professional attendants whose ser
vices are iu constant demand. A
large proportion of the graduates of
this and of the two other training
schools in this city Immediately join
an association of trained nurses, and
obtain constant employment at the
rate of twenty or even thirty dollars
n week, with board. This is one of
the best remuncrated occupations
now open to women who are forced
to support themselves. Twelve years
ago a prejudice against hospital
trained nurses was entertained in
medical circles. 1t was argued that
little knowledge of medicine and
surgery -weuld prove II dangerous
thing, that the trained nurse would
assume to know more than the
physician IN attendance, and that her
pICSclCC III Illt SlCk-GOOn NOUlu ne
a source of vcNatious controversy
and annoyance. The prejudice was
speedily dispclled. The trained nurse
having formed i'll the hospital the
habit of implicit obedience to her
superior's orders, was found to be
more disposed to follow medical in
struetions than the old-fashoned
nurse. The educated nurse knew
her limitations, and disliked to act
on her own responsibility. The
half educated OF ignorant nurse did
not know how insignificant was her
own knowledge, and was always in
hot haste TO get ahead of the doctor,
and to convince him that he did not
know what he was about. The best
physicians i'll large cities now well
come the presence of a hospital nurse
in the sick-room. 1t assures them
that there will be no lack of vigil
lance and intelligent care in the
nursing, and that their own direc-
tons will be rigidly followed, S. r.

The Late Charles O'COnOr.

Charles O'COnor, the venerable lawyer
and national celebrity, who died May 13,
was native of New York City. He
was born in 1904, the son of an Irish
gentleman of fine culture. His parents
were mombers of the Catholic church, to
which he has been attached throughout
his long life. Charles O'Conor did not
receive university education, but the
surroundings of his life during boyhoed
favored precocity and strength in the
development of his mental powers. He
was under age when admitted to the
bar, soon made his mark among the law
yers of New York, and before he was
thirty years old had won distinction
among them. Twenty years later his
fame was national, and be was in receipt
of what were regarded in those days as
enormously large fees, for his profess
sional services.
The reader may remember the Mason
will case, in which he is said to have
made the greatest argument, and the
Forrest divorce suit, in which he ap-
peared for the wife of the great TRACE
dian. Current gossip at the period of
this last sensational trial gave it out that
Forrest, on one occasion, threatened the
employment of personal violence to-
wards Mr. o O'Conor, but was overawed by
the cool courage and dignity of the ad-
vocate.
He was possessed of large but not ep-
ulsnt means, as is understood by the ex-
preston in these days of great fortunes.
His wealth probably did not exceed one
million dollars, earned by hard work in
his profession, and the fortunate appre-
citation of real estate in which be invest
ed money. In mature middle age Mr..
O'Conor married one of his clients, a
widow of the Livingston family. The
match was unfortunate, she being a
protestant and her husband Catholic,
and their opinions and tastes being, in
other matters than religion, opposite and
disagreeing. After a short time they
separated, but the husband retained an
affectionate memory of the lady whom
he had married, expressed in tears when
the news of her death reached him. Mr..
OConer had no children.

your eyes are not pure, your hearts can
not be. One can guess the character of
the man by the kind of pictorial he pur-
chases. When the devil fails to get d
man TO read q bad book, he sometimes
succeeds to get him to look at bad pic
tnre. When Satan goes fishing he does
not care whether it is long line or a
short line, il he only draws his victim
in.
If l have this morning successfully
laid down any principles by which you
may judge in regard to books and news
papers, then I have done something of
which shall not be ashamed on the day
which shall try every mans work of
what sort it is. Cherish good books and
newspapers. Beware of the bad ones.
One column may save your soul; one
paragraph may ruin it. Go home to-day
and look through your library and then
look on the stand where you keep your
picterials and newspapers, and apply the
Christian principles l have lid down
this morning. IT there is anything in
your hon that cannot stand the test, do
not give it away, for it might spoil an
immortal soul; do not sell it, for the
meney you get would be the price of
blood but rather kindle Ere on your
kitchen hearth or in your back yard and
then drop the poison in it and keep stir
ring the blaze until, from preface to
appendix, there shall not be single par
agraph left.
Against every bad pamphlet send
good pamphlet; against every unclean
picture send an innocent picture; against
every scurrilous song send a Christian
song; against every bad book send a
good book. The good literature, the
Christian literature, in it's championship
for God and the truth will bring down
the evil literature in its championship
fer the devil. feel tinglIng to the tips
of my fingers, and through all the nerves
of my body, and all the depths of my
soul, the certainty of our triumph. Cheer

your faces in the sunlight. If God be
for US, who can be against us?

the castle to all the poor and wretched

the coming of the Lord. She expected
that the Lord would descend in person
and she thought upon it until it was TOO

stables of her palace she had two horses
groomed and bridled, all ready for the
day on which her Lord should descend,
and He on one of them, and she on the |

was romance and thrilling expectation |
in the dream. All, my friends! we need |
no earthly palfreys for our Lord when |
he shall come. The horse is ready in the |

rider is ready to mount. Horsemen of |

Annie Laurie.

The song of annie Laurie" was writ
ten by William Douglass, of Finland, in
the stewardy of Kirkenbright, hero of
the song Willie was a Wanton Way"
Annie Laurie was the eldest of three
daughters of Sir Robert Laurie, Of Max
welton. Her birth is thus recorded by
her father in the family register: "At
the pleasure of the Almighty God, my
daughter, Annie Laurie, was born on
the 10th day of December, 1852 years,
about o'clock in the morning. and was
baptised by Mr.. Geo" Hunter of Glen
cairn) From the curious collection Of
manuscripts left by Mr.. W. F. H. Arun-
del, of Barjary Tower, Dumfriesshire,
we learn that Annie was wooed by
Douglass, and that SIZE refused him. He
then made runaway match with Miss
Elizabeth Clark, of Glenborg, in Gallo
way. In 17O9 Annie married James
Ferguson, of Craigdarrock, and was the
mother of Alexander Ferguson, the he
70 of Burns song, "The Whistle" James
Grant, in his novel, walter Fenton; or,
The Scottish Cavalier" gives full ac-
count of the composition of Annie Lau-
rie." The early version Of the song is as
follows:
Marvellous banks are bonnie
Where early ia 8 the dew;
Where me and Annie Laurie
Made up the promise true;
Made up the promise true,
And never forget will L.
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'll lay nae down and dee.
She's backit like the peacock;
She's brestit like the swan;
She's jimp about the middle,
Her waist ye weel micht span;
Her waist ye weel MIGHT span;
And she has rolling eye;
And for the Bonnie Annie Laurie
I'll lay me down and dee.
The most touching story connected
with the song is that told in Bayard
Taylor's "Crimean Incidents"
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon.
Brave hearts from Severn and from
Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon.
And there in sight of the Redan and
the Malakoff, with to-morroW's battle
coming,s some one called for song,and-
They sang of love and not of fame,
Forgot was Britain's glory,
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
But as the song grew louder,
Something on the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
