Il Nnn,a Funeral

from Inc Troy Times. .sa#
Istood at the door of the Kenwood
Convent and heard the sisters chant the
Requiem for the dead. It was dark and
solemn within, but outside the May SUM-
shine had made glorious the landscape,
and the robins and orioles were piping
their joyous melodies in the soft morn
ing air. By and by the chanting ceased
and then along the gloomy corridors
came a procession of dark robed women,
carrying with them their beloved dead.
In the hand of the living candles were
held, emblematic of the light to come,
and on the cover of the coarse pine box,
in which reposed the ifeless nun, q
simple covering was placed, and
a modest flower was the only
characterization. Out in the sunshine
they gently carried their sister-safely
at rest, forever-and, laying her rever-
emily in the tomb, breathed tender
prayers over the grave and returned,
fearless and content to their convent du-
ties. There was no mourning fer the
lost and beloved one. She had "gone
home," had found her happiness, and
had left the others waiting, waiting,
waiting. Thus within the convent walls
death is subject of congratulation so
complete and beautiful is the faith of
the living in the glory of hereafter.
Watch simple funeral such as this, ye
scoffers, and tell me then if there be no
resurrection and eternal life!

Shakspere and Whist.

Our poet is an inexhaustible source Of
quotations for all sorts of subjects and
occasions, says Mr.. Role, in the Liter
ary World; and it is wonderful how pat
these excerpts often are, though used
in connections of which their author
would never have dreamed. A CORES
pondent in Columbus, Ohio, has sent
us a capital illustration of this, in the
shape of an elegantly printed little SOU
venir of a series of games played by the
Whist Club of that city. A few Of the
passages will serve as samples of the
whole, and the point Of each will be
clear to every whist player: Whatever
else shall hap tonight, give it an un-
derstanding, but no tongue. Seal up
your lips, and give no words but mum ;
the business asketh silent secrecy No
tongue! all eyes! be silent. Be assured
we come to use our hands and not our
tongues. lam fain to, shuttle. Who
leads? The most patient man in loss,
the most coolest that ever turned up
ace.- have been in continual practice E;
I shall win at the odds. Have I not
here the best cards for the game, to
win this easy match? One out of suits
with Fortune, and that could give more
but that her hand lacks means. Our
sport shall be to take what they mis-
take. I'll mark the play. Our fore
fathers had no other books but the
score and the tally.

The Wedding Of He Haw Wilde.


London Truth remarks that Nellie
went to see Oscar Wilde's wedding,
and was immensely amused, on arriving
at the church (St. Jamse's, Sussex Gar
dens), to find that the bridegroom had
given orders thae none should be adj
mitted unless they had his card. OF
course, it was quite right that certain
portion of the church should be set apart
at weddings for the friends of the bride
and bridegroom: but for q man to issue
his commands as to who shall and who
shall not, be admitted to public place
of worship is little too ridiculous.
Nellie got in, however, Notwithstanding
her being unprovided with Mr.. Oscar
SWildes visiting card. She says the
brides dress was pretty, chiefly on ac-
count of it's perfect simplicity, Her
veil was peculiar, being of gauze or
open meshed spun silk, or something
unusual. The bridesmaids harmonies
Of terracotta and primrose were spoiled
I BY white hats and feathers. Nellie says
it was the funniest thing IN the world
tossee the contracting parties and the
4 best man posing in studied attitudes
during the ceremony. Fancy 9 man
being married with his head on one side,
like q 1hredn Lily, his hand on his hip
and his legs dispo sed according to apre-
concerted arrangement. The brides
maids carried lovely Lilies. Lady Wilde
asnatchedn her new daughter to her
heart with some effEusion. and the bride.

Cupid in the Court Room,

A late occurrence in German court
of justice points out to women new
method of accomplishing her destiny.
Every lawyer knows the advantage to
his cause Of bringing his client into
court, if she is handsome. graceful, in
teresting, and, above all, ifshe has COM
mand of tears. Many verdict has been
gained rather by pair Of beseeching
eyes OR dropping figure than by any
argument. High damages for breach
Of promise, divorce from an irksome
husband, acquittal from probable char
ges, have all been gained by women in
the court room; but did any one ever
win husband? This is what happened
to German girl. She was on trial for
child murder. She was acquitted from
this charge, but was condemned for
some tri1ing infraction of the law to a
few weeks imprisonment. During the
trial one of the jury, wellto- do burgh-
er, who had been unable to keep his
eyes off her. On her release he met her
at the prison door, requested and OBJ
tanned her assent to a courtship which
in short time resulted in marriage.

Celebrated Vampire Case.

The most celebr ated vampire case,
perhaps, and the latest, happened in
1849. In that year the cemeteries Of
Paris were entered, graves broken open.
and corpses rudely tossed upon the
ground. The greatest alarm was felt as
the horrible depredations continued.
The strictest watch failed to detect their
author. Physicians who were called tc
examine the wounds and mutilations in
ficted on the corpses declared the dep
redators could not be, as was first sup.
posed, resurrectionists. A man-trar
was set in Pere la Chaise, anda heavy
bomb concealed beneath it. One night
the sentinels posted about the cemetery
heard the boom explode. They entered
but beyond few drops of blood and
fragments of military clothing, found
no trace of the vampire. Next day il
became known that Sergeant Bertrang
q soldier, was dangerously wounded.
He was arrested. On his court-martial.
of which Colonel Mansolon was Presi-
dent, Bertrang confessed to having
committed all the horrible violations OF
graves, but could not explain why he
did it. He was controlled by greater
power, he said. Like de Retz, this man
was frank, gay and gentle. He was
sentenced to twelve months imprison-
ment, and counsel of physicians ap-
pointed to examine his mind.

Mormons Still Coming.

Twenty-Five Mormon missionaries,
with sol converts-401 Scandinavians
and 100 English-arrived at New York
by the steamship Arizona en- route to
Salt Lake City, under charge of Chief
Elder g. H. Nye. As the steamer
reached the dock, roll call was held,
and each elder was detailed to his
respective post. The young women
looked listless as the elders rushed in
among them, giving orders. Elder Nye
said:
The converts I bring are not all recent
accessions, some having been members
of the church over thirty years, who
through lack of means or other causes
have been unable to come here. I am
now going back to Utah to remain there,
and within shor; time of our arrival q
further relay of elders will he sent to
Europe to keep up the work. I consid-
er that I have been very successful.
Referring to the arrest of Mormon
missionaries in Vienna, Mr.. Nye says: 81
do not contemplate any serious outcome
from it" 49,.

A HAPPY FAMILY.
BY MRS. M. L. RAYNE.

It was Sunday. Mr.. Skinner was
tired, and thought he would lie down on
the sofa in the back parlor and rest.
People never learn by experience, and
he was no exception to the common
rule.
He lay down, and crossed his feet
with parade hardly justifable under
the circumstances. His wife came in
and saw him.
"Why, Lot Skinnerp she exclaimed.
IF I ever heard of the like! Lying
down on that new sofa with your boots
on, and oh, my goodness! your head on
that lace tidy I had done up only last
week. You are the most inconsiderate
man ever saw in my ife!"
Mr.. Skinner got up md his wife
smoothed out the tidy and rearranged
it.
"The idea of anybody putting head
on that tidy" said Mrs. Skinner, who
had no intention of using slang. 81
did suppose you had more sense"
II used to have" said Mr.. Skinner
good naturally, "Ya-a-a-h. I could
take nap if could find place to drop
down. Y-a-a-h."
''You had better read your Bible, ="
said Mrs. Skinner. She was good,
uncomfortable woman, so clean and neat
and orderly that she made her family
wretched with her domestic drill.
Something called Mrs. Simmer off
then, and when she came back Mr.. Skin
ner was gone. She sat down and took
a book, when thought struck her, and
she bounded from her chair as if it had
been cannon ball. i -
Yes, it was just as she had feared; her
husband had gone up stairs, and she
found him stretched out on the bed, on
top of white counterpart, his grizzly
gray head sunk deep into a white,
starched pillow sham. with these words
embroidered in the center:
"Sleep sweet, beloved"
He was not asleep, but snored, with

mouth. g.

Walter Besant writes to the London
Spectator, IT maintain that fiction is q
fine art, governed by general rules, like
any other art; that these rules can be
taught, like those of any other art, and
that the teaching breaks, down just
where that of painting, music or sculp-
ture breaks down-at those points
namely, where natural aptitude is re-
quired and fails to appear. This is
the. rudimentary condition of the art,
just as an eye for color, form and draw
ing-in other words, natural aptitude
is required for the painters art"

Statesmen and Shoemakers.

From the New York Tribune.
Senator Fair was in Broadway shoe
makers shop one afternoon this week.
He has a small foot for one of his size,
and so intent are shoemakers on making
this look still smaller that they general
ly make misft, and to get an easy shoe
appears to be the Senator's greatest
trouble. Said the Senotor to the obse-
quious Crispin, as the latter was taking
the statesman's measure for pair of
boots:
"The other pair you made me were
too tight;.I don't want my little toe
wedged under theIothers. Make the shoe
wide and give the toes full scope; the
tariff is not very high on leather, is it :?
Now you are drawing that line too
BANKED tight across the instep."
At this point the young woman who
fits the ladies frowned at the bonanza
king, and walked to the window to see
the dudes coming from the matinees.
"Let me give you pointer on having
your measure taken, SENATOR" said a
1ieSu young ulSClp1o IIOu Iuo WesC,
who accompanied MIR. Fair. always
wear two pair of socks when you leave
your measure. The shoemaker's pride
and glory is to make the boot fit like q
kid glove, and he draws the line as tight
as corner on stocks; but the two pairs
of socks give the boot plenty Of margin,
and then it will fit you neatly with one
pair"
''That's a good point; but I didn't
happen to have two pair" replied the
man of twenty millions. ''Where's the
young man who made me this pair
that young fellow who talked like he
owned the shop? I thought he was
the boss. Dead, is he? Well; no mat
ter If you make these too tight, I'll
be blanked if I don't send them back to
you, and let you sell them to some
poor devil who can wear them. How
much ?-$15. Well, here it is. Send
them over to Washington. But try
and not make them so blanked tight
this time" And the senator walked
out by the deeply distracted young
woman, while the shoemaker meditated
over the measure.

THE GLADSTONE FAMILY.

Sketch Of Mrs. Gladstone-Ths Prem
ier's Pure Domestic Life.
RobertL Laird Collier in Boston Herald
Just as the service was beginning Mr..
and Mrs. Gladstone, with one of their
sons came in, and as they went to thier
seats there was some little stir at the
door of the chapel, as evidently some
what of crowd were there to catch
sight of the right honorable gentleman.
The son who came with the father and
mother lives, or has for some years lived,
in India. He has been rather the black
sheep of the family, so it has been re-
ported, and has not got on in the world
as the other sons have done.
He has been disinclined to be guided
by reins in his fathers hands, and has
always champed. the; bit; The other
sons have been dutiful and unresisting.
1t is understood that Mr. Gladstone
like other great men, will have, his own
way whenever he can get it, and it is
best upon the whole for all concerned
that he should have it. The eldest son,
William Henry. Gladstone, is rather .
feeble statesman, who is member OF
parliament simply because he is the son
of his father. The next son, Rev.
Stephen Gladstone, is the vicar of the
Hawarden, Parish Church, and is re-
ported to be a pious and innocent par
son, who does the routine duties Of an
English country parson, and finding ia
vor with both God and man. The
hopes of the family are conferred In Her
bert, the youngest son. Herbert is q
real nice good boy. He did very well
in college and had no career marked
out. for him, although it was known
that both father and mother had set
their hearts upon political life for him.
The liberal constituency of Leeds was
casting about for a candidate, when
intimation was given that Mr.. Glad
stone would like his son to be returned
to the House Of Commons, and the Lib
erals of the Yorkshire capital accepted
this real nice, good boy as their stand
ard he arer. OF course he would have
probably lived and died unknown if his
name had not been Gladstone, for up to
now he has in nowise developed any
genius for political affairs, and when he
has made speeches they have been
rather =. conspicuous for the extreme
vouthfulness of their matter and meth
