The Old Lady Of the Old School.

From the Chicago Herald.
We often hear Of the gentleman of the old
school, of his serenity of mind, his decorous
habits and courtly manners, but we do no.
hear as often as we should Of the lady Of the
old school. And yet, take her all in ALL she
was much more attractive person. as we get
glimpses Of her. than the other. For she was,
first of all, what the name lady implies, the
breadkeeper and mistress of the household.
The cookbook was her familiar friend, and
she understood all its imperfect utterances and
commands as the priests Of Delphi understood
their oracle.
When DR.. Kitchener or Mrs. Glasse or The
American Housewife ordered her TO put in Q
pinch Of this or q handful Of that, she did not
exclaim, as Mrs. John Rokesmith, nee Bella
Wilfer, did, "Oh, you are a stupid; where am
to get il, ! should like TO know" But she put
her hand at once upon the desired ingredient,
and thus perfected the toothsome Wand for the
table. The mysteries Of the kitchen had nc
terrors for her, and she fully understood the
art, as one of the old cook books expresses il,
Of shaking hands with q saucepan" Her
table linen was spotless, and every plate and
cup and saucer, every knife and fork, every
piece OF glass and silverware, cleaned In re-
splendent purity. As she sat at table, opposite
the gentleman Of the old school, and sur
rounded by her family, her face was benedic-
ton, for happiness had its abode with her.
Under her firm and womanly hand her chill
dren were dutiful, her servants respectful,
and her husband, safely trusting in her, gladly
gave her his love and praise. But II she
was mistress In the kitchen she was queenly
in the parlor. There she received her friends
with an ease and grace that made the most
awkward easy and graceful, each one reflect
ing, AZ in . glass, her own charms Many Q
bashful young man and many Q modest maiden
have called her blessed because her fine man.

into animation and life. Her fine tact Left
no guest, however humble, obscure or In .

without feeling how much wittier they

From the Lowell Citizen
Churchly-"I gave Deacon Snapper $40 this
morning for the Kangaroo Mission church in
Homicide alley. Mrs. Churchly-"Oh, Arthur,
how good you are; wish Icould do something
for the mission" Churchly-"wait till they

can contribute some of that angel cake of yours

Literary s'Sweaters'' i'm England.


Andrew Lang in Longmans Magazine.
If the word sweater" is to stray from the
manual industries into literature, il should
mean the shabby and extortionate employer,
not the employed. An author, however, who
calls himself Literary Sweater" in a popular
journal means that he is the underpaid EN-.
ployed, not the stlngy employer. A won-
drous tale he tells, il we are to take his
confessions literally; and il he is writing
truth, and not merely romance, Grub street
is with us still, and wretched as in the
time of Savage. According TO this writer he COM
menced as an author at nineteen, which, per-
haps, accounts for a good deal. At nineteen
a man can hardly have read enough to justify
him in attempting the career of letters which,
when he hath once begun, will leave him scant
opportunity or time for reading. He will
always be raising crops off a fatgued and
starveling Wit, and can hardly prosper. The

AUGUSTA, April 11.-There was an enthu-
siastic and well attended meeting of the
Young Republican Club CT Augusta, in Nov
city Hall this evening, the tariff issue being
discussed. The first speaker was Hon. j.
II. Manley, who occupied about an hour.
Mr.. Manley's address was careful pre-
sentation of the history of protection and
comparison of the relative advantages in the
countries which have favored protection
over the free trade countries, and a resume
of the business prosperity in this country
during the periods in which we had a tariff
so high that it offered protection, as against
the low tariff periods. 1t was reulete with
facts and figures showing that the policy of
protective tariff supplied the consumer
with necessary articles relatively cheaper
than under free trade; that high wages were
the outcome of the protective tariff as in the
United States; that business prospered un-
der high tariff. He admitted that the con-
stantly changing institutions II the coan-
try, and its business growth and develop
ment, demanded that the high tariff would
need constant revision and modification,
but not such as would cripple our industries

foreign manufacturer. We should have an
American policy and not pattern after the
opinions or governmental policy OF Tree
trade England. We should protect our own
citizens by wise restriction Of emigration.
Mr.. Manley was followed by Commission
er of Labor S. w. Matthews, who spoke
half an hour deeply interesting the mem
bers of the Club. In opening, he referred to
the fact that political economy in modern
times includes something more than the
science of wealth, and is now what might pc
termed the science of society or s0clal
science. While this science does not ignore
the Importance TO society of wealth, it rec
ogniZes as fundamental elements OF political
economy the humanity of the world and its
moral condition. The speaker said the free
traders were believers in the laisseZ fare
doctrine, or let alone doctrine, while pro-
tectionists believe in the duty of the gov
ernment TO legisatate in the interest of the
laboring classes.
Mr.. Matthews then went on to show the
history OF protection and the benefits result
ing TO the country, giving the rates of wages
in foreign countries as compared with those
in the United States. The Republican party
came into power in 1861 with the principle
of projection to American labor and capitaI
Comparisons Of the wealth of the country
as derived from the census of 1860 and 1883
were given showing fast increase in this
direction and thus in the prosperity of the
people.
Both the speakers referred to Mr.. Blaine
and each time were heartily applauded.
