A STORY OF CITY LIFE.

While | am as far downtown as
Wall street let me tell you an old
story. There is IA broker on New
street who every quarter of year
makes ont cheek for $3.50 to de-
Gently dressed old Irish woman who
comes down to his office punctually
at noon in a cab he pays for. Five
years ago the son and only support
OF this pensioner was a thriving young
public hacklnan, owning his turnout
and doing we'll. One night he took
up a wealthy Englishman at a France
ball, and drove him up to Central
Park to have the champagne blown
out Of him before he went to bed.
They drove about the frosty streets
until dawn. and on their slow way
down Broadway we're halted by gang
of ruilians fresh from some thieves
ball. The driver made stout fight
for his fare, who was helpless with
drink, and though he got some hard
blows on the head, managed to drive
them off. Poor Jarvey had caught a
fractured skull, however, and fell i'll
a few days later, fingered for month
or SO and diedmad. The Englishman
had given him $50 for taking care of
him, and gone off to England before
he knew Of his misfortune. A para
graph in a newspaper which was sent
TO him appraised him of it and he
wrote immediately to his banker to
have his saviors mother taken care
of, and taken care OF she is to this
day and will be till She dies.-Neac

THE ART OF COOKING.

We observe with sincere satisfac-
ton, says the Massachusetts, Plough
man, that the servant girl question
is running into the closely related
question of cooking. Whereas, in
our formative social character as a
people, the mysteries of the kitchen
have been seduously kept in the
background, almost as something to
be ashamed of knowing, they are
now being brought to the front where
they rightly belong, and the day is
not distant one that shall see the
art OF cooking held in the honor it
deserves in any fair estimate of
true civilization.
What is needed to bring up this
most necessary of all human arts to
the place in common esteem to which
it is entitled on good grounds, is the
existence of some social necessity
that will have to call upon it for as
sistance and cannot do without it.
Then will come its opportunity.
Good cooking is now regarded anna
teurishly, whereas upon it depends
all domestic health and comfort,
thence state of true social sanity,
and thence again sound political
organization. 1t would even be I'M
reasonable to expect to see healthy
religious development and growth in
a people who are ill-fed because their
food, however abundant, is badly
prepared. The body and the spirit
are one in this world. whichever is
allowed the dominion.
The usual estimate of woman,
young or old, who is good cook, is
that she is only a drudge. So is eve
ry occupation drudgery if we pursueit
in that spirit. AS Emerson says in one
of his verses, the use of broom can
be made divine in the sight of others.
Without getting down to the level of
dogmatism on the subject, however,
it may be remarked that little
more common sense would help the
matter amazingly. For protessed
Independent people, We live in fear
of one another's eyes and tongues as
much az serfs live in fear OF their
owners. What young girl has the
courage to show-not to say-that
she can make a loaf, broil steak,
cook an omelette, set down a perfect
cup of coffee? And, socially speak
ing, who would to-day think any
more highly Of her for being able to
do all these things? For all that the
leaycn is working, and our homes
will some time be worth living in.

AN EASTER CARD.

"What can girl do in our day?" ex-
claimed Agnes Clement, petulantly. The
speaker rested her elbows on the table and
gazed at the lamp.
Opposite was sister Anne, calm, matron-
ly, self-satisfed, mending babys pinafore.
"Plenty of occupation may be found in
your profession, if you would seek it, re-
piled sister Anne, biting off her thread and
forming a new knot. painting china,
designing wood cuts, even coloring photo
graphs"
Agnes raised her head with flashing
eyes.
"Oh, why do you not add taking in
washing, or scrubbing down the stairs ?"
she cried, with scorn and anger.
"That is the difficulty" continued sister
Anne. with unrufied composure "You
are impatient and despise the beginning.
One cannot spring into full-hedged artist
at one bound. Pray how did the great
European artists commence, about whom
you are so fond OF reading? Very mod
estly, promise you"
Agnes made no immediate response In
stead, she rufled her blonde hair with her
hands, and stared moodily at the lamp.
The room was plain, and the noise of the
street below was audible in the tinkling of
a car bell and the rattle of carts on the
pavement. Located on one of the wide
business avenues of the city of New York,
this modest home of clerk with a slender
salary held dissimilar elements united by
close relationship.

week of illness would replace her husband
at the store by dozen eager competitors
in need of bread
A key was inserted in neighboring
door, and the object of her solicitude en-
tered, bringing keen gust of winter air
with him. The husband of sister Anne
was a brisk little man, with shrewd blue eyes,
flaxen hair and spot of red on either
cheek bone. He greeted his family cheer
fully, while unwinding a silk handkerchief
from his throat.
"Tve got something for you in my pock-
ct, Aggy," he said to his sister-in-law.
'sThe very thing for you"
She looked at him with faint smile.

no comment. She grew pale and her eyes

but restrained her indignation. Finally she

EASTER CAROL.

As the glorious sun on high
Rends apart the nights dark cloud;
As the radiant butterfly
Springs from out its dusky shroud;
As the lily from the mold
blossoms in its robes of snowi
Or from out its ashes cold,
Mounts the phoenix all aglow;
So. from out Deaths gloomy prison,
Christ hath risen
Sleep the Roman guards as dead;
Where the stone is rolled away,
Shining angels watch instead
On this beauteous Easter Day,
Vain the spices, unguents sweet,
Which the holy women bring;
Blessed head and bleeding feet
Need no more Loves ministring.
Hark that burst of song Elysian,-
Christ hath risen.
Speed the rapturous news abroad
Give it to the breezes free! -.
Every Chorister of God.
Weave it into melody!
Hearts that bleed, and heads that bow
See He cometh from Gfar!
Living pearls, His teardrops glow,
Every wound is like STAR
Upl adore the shining visionl
