words at which ne had taken such q
hasty glance. She was able to give q
laundering account of the hero who
figured in the lesson, but names and
dates entirely escaped her. She stam-
mered and hesitated in shame and con-
fusion, her eyes sinking before the low
ing ones which gazed upon her, She
could feel all the surprise and disap-
pointment which she knew they must
express. The questions passed on to
Mary and Hattie, at whom she had
often laughed for being "plodders,"
and Elsie thought she would have
given anything she owned to be able to
recite as they did, promptly and clear
ly. with the confidence which always
comes of diligent, conscientious study.

visit my school again, Aunt Laura"

mournfully, "a careless, idle little
girl. And you'll never forget it of me.
no matter if 1 turn right around and
do my very best after this. And you'll
never, never let Cousin Helen come
to go to school with me now."
"Why, my dear little girl, said Aunt
Laura, putting a very tender arm
around the little penitent, "do you
think l never do wong myself, never
need to repent and seek forgiveness,
that l should be so hard as that on
you?"
"Oh, Aunt Laura" said Elsie, very
earnestly, "Im going TO turn over
new leaf, as mamma says, really and
truly. Pm going to show you and
mamma how hard am going TO try to
do right mean just because it is
right. And if do, perhaps in another
year you'll let Cousin Helen Gomez"
"Elsie," said her aunt, with smile,
'if 1 should tell you / had so much
faith in your promise that would let
Helen come next term, what would you
say?"
"Oh--that you are the dearest Aunt
Laura in the world, and that it would
make me try great deal harder than
if you punished me by not letting her
come"

the boy picked up stove-lid and mashed
her skull with it. He then threw the
body in the fireplace, intending to burn
it. This process of cremation was too
slow and he pulled it out and carried it
to small stream near the house, throw
ing it in. When the little ones body
was found Sinnville admitted killing her.
He was arrested and tried. On the
stand, when asked why he had committed
the crime, he stated that his stepfather
had told him to do it and had promised
him new pair of boots. There was no
other evidence against the stepfather,
and as the boy was confessed murderer
his testimony could not have weight.
Many efforts have been made to have the
Governor pardon him, but thus far he
has failed to act. When first sent up
young Combs had never heard of God,
knew nothing of heaven or hell and had

A Love of GOssin.

If you, mother, wish to cultivate a
gossiping, meddling, censorious spirit
in your children, be>sure, when they
come home from church, visit, or any
place where you do not accompany
them, to ask them questions concern
ing what everybody wore, how every
body looked, and what everybody said
and did; and, if you find anything in
all this to eensure, always do It in
their hearing. You may rest assured,
if you pursue course of this kind,
they will not return to you unladen
with intelligence; and, rather than it
should be uninteresting, they will by
degrees learn to embellish in such q
manner as shall not fail to call forth
remarks and expressions of wonder
from you. Thus you will finally be
surrounded by gossips welded as fond
ly to their craft as the celebrated group
in School for Scandal"

Literature, Old and New.

The quality Of periodical literature in
the United States-the essence Of our
national literary pride-is thus ques-
toned by southerner in The Whining
ton N. C.) Messenger: "The mag
azines Of our time are far better printed,
on better paper, are much larger, are
superbly illustrated for the most part,
and far beyond anything known thirty
years or more ago, and much more
widely read, and pay much more liber-
ally for contributions. But is Harper
equal to the very best Of the illustrated
magazines, and possibly the best-any
better now in its literature than prior to
1850 or earlier7 We very much doubt it.
Is The North American Review ahead as
to style and ability Of the old Wing Re-
view or The Democratic Review? Very
doubtful again. Is it equal to itself
when Edward Everett and DR.. Charming
and Mr.. PRESCOTT and other able New
England men filed its pages? Who
writes for it now with the literary finish
and noble eloquence that characterized
those accomplished and ablo men?
Which Of the monthlies Is really more
enjoyable than tho old Knickerbocker
was under Willis Gaylord Clark?
Which Of tho monthlies contains articles
of more interest and excellence than
Putnam's Monthly? In the south. be-
fore the war. there were two excellent
publications, the monthly Southern
Literary Messenger, published at Rich
mond, Va, and The Southern Quarterly
Review, published at Charleston, s. G.
Edgar Poo wrote for the former and
Hugh Swinton Legare wrote for the
latter. There arc no poems and literary
articles from southern pens in these
dulcet piping times Of peace that equal
Poc's; and there is no magazine or re-
view writer in the south now that can
compare with Legare in learning, in
high ability. and in power and cloquencc

A WashinG Match.

Something quite new In industrial con-
tests took place lately at Geneva, Switzer-
land, In the shape Of contest for prize
between washerwomen. Geneva is quite
celeblated for It's laundresses, who wash
theis clothes In the open air and in tho
water Of the River Rhone and Lake
Leman. Il was quite natural, therefore,
Il there vas TO be washing match any
where, fo7 It to be held in Geneva.
On tho day appointed an immense
crowd Ifsed the shore Of the lake, and
the laundresses, having rolled up their
sleeves. began washing at, the word OF
command. They soaped and rubbed the
clothes, and rinsed and wrung them and
hung them up to dry, while the crowd
looked on in breathless interest.
The first prize was won by Nldlle. Lc-
fevre, Partisan laundress only 10 years
old, who went through tho process Of
washing and wringing garment and
banging it up to dry in exactly six min
utes. And, as the prize took into con-
sideration the thoroughness Of the work
as we'll Us It's rapidity, the prize winner
could not put through her washing
with q lick and promise"
After the contest q banquet was spread.
to which 500 of the laundresses and
spectators sat down.
At Troy, N. Y, which has become q
city of laundries, and to which clothes
arc sent to be washed from all through
New York and New England, a PROPOSE
ton to have q contest in washing clothes
by hand in the Hudson river would Gre
ate no little mirth. A washing match"
at Troy, If the work was conducted in
the customary way, would be largely
contest between lrachines.-Ycuths 3
