A VIII Read.

Elizabeth d. Pugh, who died at her res
idence on Hunt street on Friday, was bur-
led in the Baptist cemetery on Monday.
Her will, which was read after the funeral,
made the following requests: to Mary
Elizabeth Jones. $50; Woodstown Bap-
fist Church, $50; Fillmore Pugh, $50;
Sarah Ballinger, $50; Woodstown Bap-
tist Church, for use of cemetery, $50 ad-
d%itional, provided a suitable lot for the in
terment of the deceased was granted. The
remainder of the estate was bequeathed to
the American Baptist Home Mission Socie-
ty, of Philadelphia, but it is thought that
the above requests, together with the fu-
neral expenses and claims against the es-
tate, will be about satisfied by the proceeds.

The fire burns dimIy on the hearth,
The light is turned down low;
And wintry winds through bare old tree!
In titful gusts oft blow.
The mother pulls the curtains down
To keep away the cold;
Tucks tightly in the children's beds,
She's shutting up her fOlc.
She covers up the little hand
Thrown over the coverlet,
She wipes the place on baby's check
Which one stray tear had wet:
Kisses the little ones who sleep
And smoothcs the hair of gold.
Then kneels and ''prays theL0rd to keep.
She's shutting up her fold.
Oh, little ones, fenced round secure
With mothers love and care,
What looks Of peace and trust and JOY
Your sleeping faces wear,
Outside to night some children, who
Are tall and large and old,
Are wishing they could be once mOTco
Sheltered in mothers fo'd.

Woman's Sphere.
Yesterday afternoon the Women's Educa-
tional and Industrial Union held its second
meeting at its rooms, 427 Suffer street, Mrs.
Campbell in the chair and good attendance
present.
The object of the organization is such as
will appeal to the heart and judgment of all
well-living and well-thinking persons who
have altrustic views of their duties and are
not bound down to the limits of selfshness.
The union is first educational in its nature,
aud proposes to have lecture or talk each
Saturday afternoon where any one who
wishes on their trips home from shopping
may stop and rest. and, at the same time.
hear that which can but be found beneficial
to them.
The secondary nature of the union, its in
dustrial phase, is not so pronounced as the
primary object. Indeed, it may be said that
by education, industry is promoted. Every
thing will be done to further industrial
habits wherever the unions influence may
penetrate, but the intention is To promote
industry with understanding
The small admittance fee charged will
constitute an emergency fund, to be devoted
to helping the needy. This fund, it is in
tended, viii be loaned out 10 those who are
momentarily so cireumstanced, but In very
rare cases, If ever, is it to be donated. 1t has
been the experience of the ladies OF the union
that persons rarely remain in continued des-
utute circumstances, but that they are able
with few dollars to stem the tide of adver-
sity and in few weeks ride into the current
of everyday prosperity. They claim, there
fore, that there is more need of judicious
lending than Of ill-advised and injudlcious
giving.
Mrs. Carolina NJ Severance of Los An
geles, first President of the New England
Women's Club of Boston, spoke at length
yesterday on her recolections of women's
work. Her discourse was devoted mostly to
the history of the organization of the Boston
union, and gave the growth of the desire for
self-culture into the desire for the elevation
of the masses, which has made the Boston
society so famous,

The Serata musicale given by Professor
r. A. Lucches on Friday evening last, at
Steinway Hail, drew a large attendance of
the elite, as well as very full representa-
ton Of our professional musicians. Me,srs.
Hartmann, 3 ell, Arrllaga, Galyani, Lissak,
Rosewald, and others of the guild were
noticed in the audience. The attendance
was so numerous that the ball proper lacked
capacity to accommodate the thrOng and
room was made by opening folding doors to
apartments en- suite. OF course the princi-
pal piece on the programme was the pro-
fessOr's original quintet in major, opus
II, which the musical people received, ap-
parently, with much SatlSfact1on-paTtic-
ularly the Scherzo anu Cantable sOstenuto,
and voted the composition a merltOriOuS
one. In its execution, the Hermann Brandt
string quartet acquitted themselves adj
mirably, considering that but two rehear-
sails had been had. Nine. Emilia Tojetti

and, therefore, could not respond to an encore

Mr.. Henry Mapleson. Mile. Roze was, at
the outset of her public life, very pretty

tracted the attention Of NJ. Auber, whose

with him selected company to give here
the first performance of what is said to be
his latest success in the way of faree-eom-
edy, called "A Trip to Chinatown" As the
title suggests, Mr.. Hoyt has derived the
business of his piece from the Chinese
quarter in this city, which he closely
studied with view to dramatic effect dur
ing many visits to this city. This author of
a whole line Of farce comedies is, we must
confess, an ingenious fellow, drawing fun
from most unlikely sources, and investing
the dryest subject with boss0ning fresh
ness by the fertility of his imagination. We
are curious t. see what he will do with such
unpromlsing material "a is afforded by jack

If he can rcsurrect the neral death that

will have to reconsider their conclusions
and admit they were premature.
