Louise NJ. Alcott's Childhood
THE STORY OF HER UNFOLDING INTo
CHARACTERISTIC woMANHooD.

CHARACTERISTIC wOMANHooD.
1t would seem as if Miss Alcott might
have had silent monition that her WORK
was almost done from the number OF pieces
of her recent writing, which show that sne
considered her work at so years ofage prac.
tically accomplished. The most. signincant
of these articles is the one on her recoilectlons
of childhood, which appears in The Yousns
Companion, to which she was iaVoiite
contributor. Here she opens her heart 70
her readers and tells them what was tne
character of her early education.
She was wild girl from her infancy, ana
could tolerate no boy as her friend till sne
had beaten him in running, and no girl !,
she refused to climb trees, leap fences and
be tomboy. She had the dramatic facui-
ty as an instinct. She was always realizing
her information in her practical experience.
She had immense resources in her capaclby
for acquiring the kind of education when
was best fitted for her unfolding into cnar-
acteristic womanhood, and in this article
Que sees at glance that she was unconscl-
ously pursuing in her girlhood the course
best fitted for the literary career on when
she entered, partly by force OF circum-
stances, and partly by force of character.-
Her reflection on an old cartwheel one
frosty morning, when the struggle within
was keenest, is the keynote of her entire
life. With only crow for an audience, she
shook her fist at fate, and, with shiverlng
in the cold, the warm heart of the girl OF 10
beat hopefully under her old red shawl, as
she said to herself: 81 will do something Dy
and by. Don't care what-teach, sew, act,
write, anything to help the family; and III
be rich and famous and happy before Idle,
see if l won't" Here is the nerve, the
pith, the essence of the life which is now
known and honored the world over.
Miss Alcott's career is so true to the
promise of her youth that the story OF it
should be read by all parents and by all
Young persons. It has lessons for the moth
er who has wild young girl to deal with
1t shows how wise Mrs. Alcott was IN the
management of her irrepressible and bril-
liant daughters. Again it is full OF hints
and points for girls themselves who have
limited opportunities and are full OF energy
and ambition. Louise Alcott was SO full OF
| wit and strength that she chiefly educated
herself for all that was to be done in the real
work of life. To be sure there was never
but one Alcott family to be educated in,
but the strength of Miss Alcott lay in her
thorough knowledge of the life which she
undertook to reproduce, and in her willing
ness to make the effort required to command
success. Rarely has writer and woman
lived more intensely and wisely than Miss
Alcott lived, and her recolleetlons, II POSI-
BILE, surpass in interest and meaning any
thing that she has ever written.-BoSton

WHAT HARRISON SAID.-The amusing
fact is recalled that little over two years
ago, OIL May 2, 1886, General Harrison at,
tended the banquet of tho Ohio Society OF
New York, and having been introduced by
Senator Sherman as possible presidential
candidate. said "My canvass as a presiden-
tial candidate has always been subject to
this infrmity-that 1t never had but one
supporter at time. Several times have
thought that I detected promising and
insipient boom when some gentleman who
ran a newspaper would nail his flag to the
mast and declare for Harrison for Presi-
dent. But before could get an adherent
for that man he had deserted me, and the
second man became as singular aud lonely
as the first"

OUR GRAVES.

A mound, a stone and violets
A bird song in the air,
A child that gathers flowers and lets
The wind play with its hair
A field of wheat across the nedEe
Rippled by fairy hands,
A silver stream that downward runs
To cheer the lower lands.
No mound, no stont, no violets-
A blue sea overhead,
A sobbing wind that meier forgets
Its chanting for the dead;
Beneath the stars on summer nights
That deep, blue grave. how fair,
The while upon the shore the waves
Beat low. as If in prayer.
No mound. no stone, no violets,
No birds. no wave. no star,
A spot where memory forgets
What spring and summer are !;
Deeper it lies than deep sea graves.
From land and sea apart.
A grave so sad and desolate!
A grave within the heart.
