The Washington lady was a great ad-
mirer of the actress, and while in Paris

The Bernhardt sometimes amuses her.
self painting and modelling. She re-
ceived the Washington lady very
kindly, and invited her earnestly to
call again. After lapse of few weeks
another visit was made to the actress.
She was found very much absorbed in
the half-fnished figure of her little
model which she had been working at.
AT the request of the Washington
lady, who was anxious to see her at
work, she continued working. After q
while {, frislty little spaniel, the pet of
Sara, rushed into the room, wagging
his tail and painting with delight. The
little dog sprang upon the lap of the
actress, but she was SO much interested
in her work that the spaniel did not re-
ceive the expected caressing-
After the dog had interrupted her
work by repeating this evidence Of
affection several times she became very
much irritated, and expressed herself
with energy in highly seasoned Ian

cover down she calmly resumed her
work, as if utterly unconscious of the
heartrending cries of her pet, which
grew fainter and fainter as he slowly
roasted to death.
The Washington lady who witnessed
this says:
''You can imagine my position. The

looking from out the dawn of her N
hood over the world aud its cares inc sor-
rows, seemed to grow tired and fade a lit
tie as doth a iioNe r. In the early May
time of the year, when the whole earth
was being clothed in tender green and all
the blossoms were about to bloom again,
she whispered to her mothe- very softly:
Il am weary and the fever is very hot.
| think it must be cool and quiet and rest
full out there in the cemetery with the
green grasses growing over Very soon
she reached the pastures that are ever
fadelessly fresh, and sat down beside the
still waters, a cool, deep, flowing river,
the streams OF which SHALL make glad our
hearts, The mother-heart was breaking,
| and dear Annie, with the companion OF
her lifetime gone, tried TO smile for the
sake of others. But it was a smile so sad
it might almost as well have been a tear.
Day by day she pale Il paler grew, more
wan, more fragile, more heavenly. Those
who loved her most, knowing she had
often done the things that Mary did. with
an icy sort of foreboding, a nameless, fear
ful foreshadowing of something IN the
heart. besought her not 20 die. She
| smiled again and tried all the summer to
| live. But when the leaves that were
bursting into the freshness of new life as
Mary went, when the same leaves were
putting On the hectic autumnal glories,
| Annie's pale face flushed with the beauti-
full glow that precedes the sunset, and
turning her soft eyes on her mother, fell
10 dying, patiently, as Harry had done.
There are the two graves now and over
them the brown leaves fall, and the snow,
like a stainless shroad, will soon lie deep
in drifts. Hail and farewell, oear girls;
but please God we shall meet again in the
land where the mystery of life is solved,
where companlonships are uninterrupted
and affections are answered. We are
waiting and watching for a messenger
with the token from the Lord Christ that
we, too, may go. The time seems long,

populous With our loved ones, so unspeak-
ably dear, and

Happy on the golden strand;
Many are the voices that are calling Us away
Tojoin that glorious band

Lawyer Watson Atwood, of philadelphia,
is attorney for a mar named Lenhardt in
that city, whose son, a handsome and bright
boy of eighteen, named Samuel, went into
the tavern of a recently naturalized Ger
man named Lewis Kaufman, 2f07 German
town avenue. Samuel is a remarkably
bright lad, with light hair and large hazel
eyes, and the pet Of his mother. On the
10Th of September last, he entered kauf-
mans saloon, and called for a glass of
whiskey. The lad of the same age who
accompanied him was served also by the
bar tender. The boys went out of the
place, and in a few minutes returned when
they were supplied with all the beer they
wanted. The boy Samuel then went to q
little party given by one of his friends,
George Reynolds, and at once commenced
quarreling. Reynolds and Lanhardt had
been noted among their companions for
their friendship from their very childhood.
| Lenhardtinfuriated with liquor knocked his
friend down, jumped upon him. and broke
his collar bone in two places. Had be not
been dragged away, he would have killed
the boy. The case against the rum seller
Kaufman was placed in Lawyer Atwood's
hands by the mother of young Lenhardt.
Kaufman called upon Mr.. Atwood, and
told him he would not pay d cent of the
doctors bill, nor the loss of the Injured
boys time. Mr.. Atwood at once put detec-
tives upon the case, and found that Kauf-
mans saloon, where the minor obtained
his liquor is the headquarters of the Anti
Golden Club, the leading organization of
the short haired and short horned Repub-
Leans. The lawyer has already brought
suit against the imported German saloon
keeper, and intends to know whether a
rum seller is to be allowed to debauch
young boys with impunity, and shelter
themselves behind the plea hat they have
pull with the ruling political party. Those
who are acquainted with Lawyer Atwood,
are well aware that he is one of the most
fearless and determined members OF the
Philadelphia Bar, and the fact that the
rum seller Kaufman is doing a business of
about five hundred dollars per day, is only
an incentive for the counsellor to fight the
harder against the German obtaining a
renewal of his license. The case has eaus-
ed considerable excitement among Kaui-
man friends, and it is said money has been
paid to keep the facts out Of the newspa-
pers of Philadelphia.

Christmas within Sight.

An enthusiastic exchange exclaims:
GLOW the years roll around. Here we are
again, right on the threshold of the Christ
mas holidays. 1t seems but as yesterday
when the Christmas festivities set the
whole world aglow with evidences of affec-
tionate regard-the inspiration of the most
enjoyable festival in the history Of human
joys and human blessings. The recurrence
of another Christmas SO near at hand, will
awaken all the old joyous anticipations
which attach to this grand and ancient hol-
iday. Housewives will be busy from now
until the night before Christmas preparing
for the feasts of the day following, and
hopeful hearts, in young and old bosoms,
will swell with expectancy as to what old
Saint Nicholas will bring to them. The
time between this and Christmas will 500
speed by, the gladdest day of the year will
soon be here, and may it be n of joy to
all who live to greet its rising sun and
blessings"

rose that's red is beautiful. Atschool they
