j scENT or MTGyoNETTE.
BY J. H. THoLENs.

These oId-tine letters bring face
OF quiet, winsome, saddened grace,
Tied by this ribbon, faded, old,
The years have turned to leaves of gold
Revealed within each musty page
Is many a saying, quaint and sage,
And through the packet fingers yet
An odor faint of mignonette.
The ink is-faded, but each line
In characters well-rounded, fine,
Still frames a graceful sentiment.
Untouched by all that time has lent.
AS | unite the dusty band,
And see the traces of her hand,
1t seems | hear the distant strain
Ofmnsic in sweet refrain.
A saddened echo seems to swell,
And bring with it magic spell;
Unbidden memories thick and fast,
Come quickly thronging from the past.
A vision stands before me now
With eyes reproaehful, and brow
OF purest white, and dark brown hair,
And rosebud lips--a picture fart?
Demure and dimpled little maid,
Time has, indeed, rare havoc played
With You and me; those vanished days
Are sweetly sad in all their ways.
Ftheu fugnceS! They have whirled
Together with the rushing world.
But still their memory fingers yet,
AS does this scent of mignonette.

Detached Thoughts
BY sIaNoR MAX.

BY siGNoR MAX.
/ Mediocrity Is the dry rot that
paralyzes progress.
Pleasure in work is the more de-
/ lirium of rhapsodists.
The cant in politics is scarcely
less reprehensible than its corrup-
tions.
Pleasure is the pursuit of pleasure,
and all selfish achievement is de
fusion.
The man whose rule of life is poll
cy never knows the glow or the glo-
ny of honest enthusiasm.
What is painted picture A
daub of vari.colored mud-a libelon
nature--the sheet iron thunder of
the stage.
1t is not quite possible for me to
run away from the conviction that
there is lot of cant in thanking
God for Affections.
| never knew man TO be lifted
out Of groveling condition by mar

Vice which parades in the panoply
of virtue is honored and applauded
when ill-clad virtue herself is con-
temptuously hooted BY pharisecs.
There is no denying that Roast
Beef and Piper Heidseick' are both
good. And both, | hope, offer
something in the way Of proof that
life is worth living.
| have many times observed the
superior tact with which woman
adapts herself to her environment.
Indeed her impulse in that direction
is instructive.
The creator endowed birds with n
knowledge ST the time to nitrate. /
assume that the creation theory is
equally applicable to women as ex-
planatory of her natural desire to fly
from base surroundings.
The worshiped idols of the stage
are incarnate commonplaces. Their
utmost achievements are inevitably
and grotesquely dwarfed when
brought face to face with the ideals
that the meanest of us recognize.
The debased man holds all refine
ments in contempt. He takes as
kindly to rags as royal raiment.
A bath gives him moral hydropho-
bia. He does not even care to hide
his sores under garment Of polite
ness.
Debasement is unnatural to wo-
man. The outcast is, perhaps, reck-
less of her good fame lost; but it is
only in the last stage of woman's de-
scent into the social hell that she be-
comes Indifferent to those refine
ments that make her sex attractive.

A BLOW FOR 4 Blow


N
n folded arms, leaning against
CIV the low doorway of the hut
that was his home-if serf could
have a home. For 1T was in the days
of Russian serfdom, and he was a
serf. but he had soul above his
station. He dreamed of great things,
of achievements possible only to the
free; ambitious thoughts filed his
brain, and wild hopes filled his heart.
only to be crushed beneath the
weight of some indignity or hurnili-
alton, such as others of his station
had learned to bear unmurmuring.
His proud spirit could not brook the
humiliation of such condition; it
drove him mad to see men free, with
no master but God, while lie must
wear the yoke of slavery.
His master was the Count ALIVE
rolf, and the young serf hated him
with a bitter hatred, born Of the
cruelty and injustice which had al
ways characterized the counts treat
ment Of him. Alvieroff was but o
few years his senior, and even in
their childhood, Alexis had been
the sport and plaything of his cruel
and heartless young lord. When
such was his masters whim, the serf
was well treated, but Alyierof's
whim was oftenest to abuse him, and
Alexis had no choice save submis-
sion. 1t was only an outward sub
mission, however; tile proud heart OF
the serf rose up in fierce rebellion
against his unjust lot, and often when
his master thought him meekest, his
heart was full of wild vengeful
thoughts, and his heart was burning
hot with angry hatred.
Alexis was noble by nature, but
years of oppression and servitude
will crush the growth of generous
virtues, and his once noble nature
was becoming daily more warped
and embittered by his many wrongs;
he grew sullen, moody and fitful and,
avoiding the society of other men,
drew more away from his kind,while
he shut up within himself all the bit
terness of his unhappy life.
For few late years Alvieroff had
been away, travelling, and Alexis had
the benefit of his absence, in respite
from his abuse; but now he had re-
turned, and, if possible, he was more
insolent and overbearing than of old.
In mental gifts Alexis was far the
counts superior, and had been edu
Gated as his clerk and superinten
dent of his estates, and this position
brought him into daily contact with
his lord, and exposed him, more thar
any of the counts many serfs, to his
i'll humors and evil moods.
On the day of which | write, Alex
is, goaded almost to madness by the
insults and indignities to which h
had been subjected, grew reckless
and desperate, and answered thu
count with bitter, angry retort
the enraged young noble turned upol
him, and with the riding whip whicl
he CHANGED to hold dealt the serf
shower of blows, and ended with
kick that felled him to the earth
And there he left him with threa
of worse if he should dare again t
give vent to his outraged feelings.
Alexis rushed madly to his ow
hut, with a desperate thought Of d.
stroying his hopeless life; but tn

Speaking of Dixey's reception in London, Mr.
barrymore said 1.-THE disgraceful proceedings
of the pit arose not from any luminosity to the
play or players, because they are Americans, for
such behavior is quite common at performances
distinctively English. / remember the first
night of "Hoodman Blind" Any APP
pause from the stalls was sure to be
received with boots and cries Of paper, paper,
from the pit, or YAH who paid youF This mons
ter has been fostered by the press. Critics who
were disappointed by what they termed the cyni-
cism of the stalls declared that the true
judges of the merits Of play were to be
found in the pit, forgetting that the pit of
to-day is not the pit of the days OF
Curran Leigh Hunt. Instead of the
men of letters and discerEment who occupied it
in those days. you now find lot of green-gro-
GERS clerks and boys, for they are not men, fell
lows who without an H among them, undertake
to pass judgment upon play or a work Of art.
Numbers of them go to the theater expressly
to raise row. So notorious is
this that many managers do not
dare to produce new play at night, but present
it first at matinee, SO as to secure the judg-
ment of the intelligent auditors unhampered by
the rowdies. To such an extent is thie tyranni-
cal rowdyism carried that on one occasioa, when
Wilson Barrett increased his stalls by one row,
the pit refused to permit the play to begin until
Barrett came forward and apologized-ir his
own house. mind you-apologized to those gnor-
ant fellows, and promised to remove the objec-
tionable row Of seats"

Anscdote Of Bishop simpson.

Rev. ,. j. Marks, ID. D.. in st. Louis Evan gelist
When Bishop Simpson was president of Indi-
ana Asbury University he occasionally preached
IN the adjoining towns and villages. Upon one
occasion he visited a neighborhood whore a num-
Der of Methodists had settled, and was the
guest Of brother named Swank. He had i'm
migrated from Kentucky, and had brought with
him the means of purchasing fine estate, and
at the time of which l write was very promi-
nent as a citizen, man Of wealth and church
member.
After dinner on Saturday Mr.. Swank invited
the bishop to walk out and look over his i'm
provements and lands. They looked at his
glossy imported cattle, at his numerous beauti-
full horses, and his focks of sheep. over his wide
meadows and luxuriant fields of corn and wheat
In the presence of these broad acres where
every clod blessed its owner, and where every
creature was basking in the sunshine of the
highest enjoyment of which its nature was
capable, the Bishop expressed the greatest pleas
arc
Brother Swank,s said he, '.you ought to be
ore of the most grateful of men; God has filed
with all good things your basket and store
Where did you obtain the means for all these
improvements and purchased Did you not tell
me that you sold land in Kentuckyr'
20 yes; all bad there | sold before left" he
replied;
10 yes he answered. Il sold them all;

'sAnd you sold your negroes; aud some of

self were they notP

otherwisei Everybody, members of all churches

themP
"You could have emancipated them. Brother
Ewank: taken them. If necessary. to free State
bought land for them, and paid them back some
thing of what they earned for YOU Brother

most earnestly into his face, "yon want to be
saved, don't your
Certainly do replied Mr.. Swank, rather
ssustily.
Then, said the Bishop, Ego and End those
