AN Augusta correspondent quotes Mrs.
Blaine as saying, ''oh, there is nothing that
can ever pay me for the agony and suffering
of the summer. No White House, no power
can compensate me for what have been
called upon to endure since We gave up the
peace and quiet of happy home for this
season OF perfect misery" Such are the
not unnatural compensations OF ambition
foiled of its chosen mark. Had there been
contentment with position already occupied
there would have been no summer Of agony
and suffering. Those who embark on
troubled, ,perious seas should scan the hazard
and the cost before drawing anchor.

CHICAGO TINES: The "oficial returns" which
adorn Republican papers should not mislead
anybody. They are about as reliable as the
associated press returns during the first week
after the election. They figure out a consider
able plurality for Blaine, when the fact is that
Mr.. Cleveland has plurality of about 10000,
figures acquire very painful disregard Of the
truth in Republican newspaper Offices.

MARY JANE PAPERS. A Book for Girls. BY
A. G. Plympton. Published by White, Stokes
& Allen. New York. For sale by st. Paul
Book & Stationery Co. Price Sl.0O.
Some Of the chapters Of this autobiography
have appeared In st. NsehOlGS, and the writer
has joined them together aud added others
70 form a very entertaining book. Mary
Jane is a sort OF female Tom Sawyer, but
being girl, her experiences are not
as varied and exciting as those OF
the partner of Huckelberry Finn.
Both Tom and Mary Jane are specimens of
natural depravity, although Tom had gener-
Gus impulses and always came to the front
in defense Of the weak, while Mary Jane Is
almost without a redeeming trait of charae-
ter. Just here we submit the question
whether the stories Of bad boy and girls have
any particular merit or whether they are de-
signed to accomplish any good, The con-
versations aud performances Of these per-
verse imps OF humanity are often ludicrOus,
but they furnish poor models for boys and
girls. There are enough entertaining books,
like The Times OF Roland" or "The Frois-
sart Chronicles" without resorting to the ad-
ventures Of "Peck's Bad Boy'' or ''Mary
Jane Hunt"

1t has long been custom in school 10
allot TO each student in the "rhetoric classn
certain number Of lines of poetry to be
changed into prose. Thus the poet furnished
the thought and the pupil the vehicle of
words TO give it expression. So Miss Arm
strong takes her characters. more than thirty
in number, from the Bible, and presents
them in the more familiar garb Of every day
life. 1t is doubtful if anything is gained by
so doing. Take the story of Joseph as writ
ten thousands of years ago, aud what mod
ern story telling can equal Il in pathos aud
sublimity. Modern religious writer's, as we'll
as preachers, seem to be afraid 10 trust child
rem and laymen with the undiluted Word OF
God, and they thin it with their own expla-
nations until 1t becomes too
weak to make any impression.
In common parlance it is called "working
thing for all it is WORTH" and its value
grows less every time. Miss Willard in her
introduction says Beyond all others, this is
the Children's Age, aud every word written
or act done in their interest is & force set in
motion for all mankind. For childhood is
the fortress of humanity posted away out on
the frontier of time, and If we furnish
weapons, ammunition.a and military drill, chill
dren will hold the fort when the veterans
are weary" This book she classes as ammu-
nition- 1t is true that the children OF the
bible furnish object-lessons for
the children of all times, but the question is
who can tell the story best, the Bible or our
selves.
