SNESS AN EVIL.
Some Useful Hints Plainly Given
to Young Wives.

The wife can make no greater mis-
take compatible with true love for her
husband than reputation of the duty
OF collaborating, writes Marion IIarland.
The fault passes beyond the line of
plumbers into the rank of positive sins.
The desire of every man to leave rep
reSentative of himself upon earth when
he lies down to sleep with his fathers,
is deeply grounded In noble natures.
The father laborS in the field of the
world with the strength of as many
men as there are hostages to fortune i'm
the home nest. The hope of maintain
Ing. children in comfort, bringing them
up i'll responsibility and honor, and pro-
vldlng against possible want, strangles
avarlce, glorifieS ambition. The words
"Wlfe and mother" go as naturally to-
gether as ''hOme and heaVen.''
1t argues fatuOuS and intOlerable con-
ceit when young wife deliberately as
sumes that she will be able in youth,
middle and old age to be sufficient to
her husband in every phase of his
many-sided nature as to compensate for
the loss of what the Lord of Nature has
declared is a necessity of his being.
Inc pair are agreed not to undertake
the care and responsibility of offspring,
we are generally told in such cases.
Then the wife should lift to her shout
ders the heavier burden of keeping her
self eternally fair and sprghtly; or
hillEg her SpOuse's heart and home with
mlrth and music; as time goes on, of
supplying the elements of prideful love
and hope he might have had in growing
boys and girls; of being, in fine, a per-
petual fountain Of youth to the man
worn with cares and years. The prin-
clple OF reJuvenatiOn, of growth into
beauty and strength, the ceaselesS nov
city, stir and action that defy dizziness
and languor, and keep parents hearts
fresh under the shadow of the almond
tree, only come and abide in the home
with children of ones very own.
ChildlesSness is an evil. The dread
significance of the aphOriSm is too often
not suspected until the summer of ad-
vent is past, the harvest time of educa-
ton is ended, and the barren stocks
stand uncOmely and uncared for IN a
deSOlate winter. "The making of
true home is really our peculiar and in
allenable right, right which 10 man
can take from us; for man can no
more make home than drone can
make a hive" writes Frances Power
CObbe.
A hive, crammed with gold and silver
money; a spick-aHd-span hive, with all
the modern improvements, with no lit
ter or Larvae, no tracks of small feet on
the waxen cells, no jocund comings and
golngS; a hive as silent as tomb save
for the shrill hum of a pair of superannu-
ated bees alternating with no hope of
Sprlngtlme; are we to accept this as the
model OF representative American
home?

THE POETS IN ST. MARGARET's
Notable Epitaphs in the Old Par
ish Church at Westminster.

Notable Epitaphs in the Old Par
ish Church at Westminster.
Pail Mall Gazette.
The church has been honOred by
quatrains written by two of our greatest
English and two of our greatest con-
temporary American poets. For the
CaXton window, presented to the rector
by the printers of London. Lord Tenny-
son wrote these lines, which refer to
Cations motto of Fiat lux"
The prayer was, Light, more light, while
time shall lasti,'
But not the shadows which that light would
cast
Till shadows vanish in the Light of Light
For the Raleigh window, given eX-
clusively by American citizens, j. r.
Lowell wrote the lines:
The New Worlds sons from England's breast
we drew
Proud of her Past from which our Present
grew,
This window we erect to Raleigh's name.
For the window just erected by st.
Margaret'S parish in connection with
her majeSty'S jubilee, Robert Browning
has written the quatrain:
Fifty yG years fight" Wherein should he re-
Who hailed their birth, who as they die de-
Gays?
This-England echoes his attesting voice
"Wondrous and well-Thanks, Ancient
Thou of days"
Lastly, the veteran American poet,
j. Greenleaf Whittier, has written this
inscription for the Milton widow, the
gift of George w. Childs, of Philadel-
phia, which will be erected about Feb.
ID:
The New World honors him whose lofty plea
For England's freedom made her own
more sure;
Whose song, immortal as its theme, shall be
Their common freehold while both worlds
endure.
Thinking that DR.. Farrar might Oh
ject to the word Freehold" the poet
pleads that "Milton himself uses it in
the same way in his prose writings
|. freehold of yTejOicing.'" Mr.. Whittier,
however, suggests t'heirloomr as pos
sibie alternative.
The church also contains the finest
epitaph ever written by Pope, that on
the tomb of Mrs. Elizabeth COrbet:
Here lies a'woman, good without pretense
Blest with plain reason and with sober sense.
No conquests she, but DER herself, desired,
No arts essayed. but not to be admired.
Passion and pride were to her soul unknown,
Convinced that virtue only is our own.
So unaffected, so composed mind.
SO firm yet soft, so strong, yet so refined.
Heaven, as its purest gold, by tortures try'd;
The saint sustained it, but the woman died.
DR.. Jonson greatly admired this cpl
taph. but thought that the fourth line
implied al impossible effort of virtue.
