NV Lesson.

"You have only two?' the lady said,
Al she glanced at my babes at play,
And 1 answered her, "Only two on EARTH"
And then 1 wept to say,
AS my grief came surging back again,
My grief so deep, so wild,
"Alas it was only month ago,
lost little child"
A dear little girl with bright, black eyes,
Unlike the other two,
The one with eyes of hazel brown,
The other with heavens blue;
A dear little girl with laughing face,
And sunshine in her hair,
Whose lisping voice and pattering feet
Made music everywhere.
And grieve when miss single note
From the music of baby feet,
And weep for the tangle of sunny hair
That is lost from my cluster sweet;
For the prattling lips, the clinging touch,
The hand upon my knee,
When the chord was full, and the group
complete,
And my children numbered three.
ana CnPIl nOllCcu IhC iooih "e'S SNA''t
That the children stopped their play,
That they looked at each other, and then
at me,
In wondering, sorrowful way.
Then the oldest one, with the hazel eyes,
Came to my side in tears,
She was only five, with tender heart,
And thoughtful beyond her years.
what is the matter with mama's child!'
This was the answer given:
"You said that you losed little child,
fought she was gone to heaven?
And why don't you look for her every day
Until you find her again?
And not sleep wink till you bring hel
home
Out of the cold and rain?"
Then hushed my grief for the little child
Lying under the sod;
had learned lesson from baby lips;
'Not lost, but gone to God"

''There was never city in the Union

from sleepy overgrown village to a

THE RAGE FOR SIMPLICITY.

Simple as the present fashions are,
they have not yet reached the limit OF
simplicity. For next winter the skirts
of gowns will be entirely plain from
the waist to the hem, which may be
finished with handsome border of en-
broidery or applique. The bodice will
also be palmer than at present, with the
exception of the vest trimming and the
sleeves. The ornamentation of the
sleeve will be the distinctive feature Of
gowns for year to come. Where the
rest of the gown will be simplicity it
self, the sleeve will be of a different
stuff from the rest of the costume-as
rich stuff as possible made full as
now, thickly embroidered or braided,
or decorated in some way from wrist to
shoulder. What the sleeve was to the
costume in the time of Queen Elizabeth,
it is to be to the dress of the woman of
today. Let the fashionable woman
look we'll to her sleeve. --NeD Yors

SOME REMopELEp HOUSE GOWNS.

SOME HOUSE GOWNS.
Owners of last summers 6 owns, made
with round skirt and bodice gathered
at the waist line, may easily alter their
appearance to accord with more ad-
vanced ideas. Put border-above
the hem of the skirt-of lace, embroid-
cry or velvet, cut in shape, vandyke
points upward. Have row around
the waist, points up, as girdle; on
the wrists, and row round the neck,
with the points down. If the form is
rather thick wasted omit the girdle,
and have belt of ribbon tied on one
side and pointed in front like a girdle.
If you have dull black dress brighten
it with full sleeves, collar and yoke OF
red or blue tartan surah, cut on the
bias. Short wasted people should
wear a tapering V-shaped vest,
rather than any yoke trimming.
Wear half-worn skirts, after
putting them in order, with loose
blouses or fancy jacket basqucs, which
are described elsewhere. Afternoon
dresses, of old rose cashmere, are uni
versally becoming, stylish and reason
able, as pretty shades come as low as
seventy-five cents a yard. The round
skirt has three great box plaits in the
back, and the rest gathered, with three
rows of black vel vet ribbon as q border.
The lego mutton sleeves have three
rows OF the ribbon for cuffs, and piece
velvet is taken for belt ending in
girdle points in front, held by an
elongated jet buckle. The bodice Is
without darts, the fullness is laid in
tiny plaits, and has bluntly- pointed
yoke of velvet, with turn over frill OF
old-rose silk, or white lace as neck
finish. Ladies Home Journal

IAPORTE. PA. FRIDAY, JUNE 6. 1890.

Mrs. Cray, Senior, was trim, erect
little woman, dressed in black serge,
with her rosy old face surrounded by
the neatest of caps.
She came back to the cottage with
them.
81 shall be glad to see how my chill

Aud she took a great fancy to Aunt
Alethea, who was waiting on the door
step to receive them-a meek, soft
voiced old Quakeress, who moved
noiselessly about and looked like
human dove in gray plLmage.

aloud charmingly. That bit of the

trial for her to be dependent on any one
for living; but there are no such nice
places to be found"
81 know of one, :" said Mrs. Ardloy.
"Wheres" asked Alice.
SIN Montreal"
"But l couldn't trust Aunt Alethea
with any one but very kind lady"
.Well, this lady is kind. At least
she'll try to be. For she is myself,
daughter Alice.
| 'You, mother? But 1 thought you
were going to live with usl' exclaimed
Alice.
My son Marius and you seem to
take that for granted" said the old
lady, with q twinkle of her bright,
black eyes. 'But you are wrong,
nevertheless. No, l am not going to
live with you. Pm very glad to have
caught glimgse of you in your happy
little home, my dear; but I've an idea
that young married people are better by
themselvcs-for year or two at least.
And my father left me some real estate
in Mon treal which has increased very
much in value, and can live as
please now. Some day it will all be
yours; but in the meantime l shall take
Friend Alethea back with me, and
we'll be company for each other.
Once in awhile well come AMI visit
you, and mind you both take excellent
care Of each other"
So vanished Mrs. Gray and quiet lit
tic Aunt Alethea from the scene.
"And here we are, just where we
originally planned to be" said Marius,
as he and Alice stood at the door, where
the mossrose was in bloom, watching
the wheels of the hack that bore tht
two old ladies away.
"Y-esl' faltered Alice with tear il
her eye; but never thought l could bt
so sorry to see mother-in law go ou

AN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN QUEEN.


Miss Edwards in recent lecture on
"Queen Hatasu and the Women of
Ancient Egypt" said Queen Hatasu
was the daughter of Thothmes /.
of the Thebanlinc. Very early in her
childhood she married her
oldest brother, Thothmes II.
Such alliances were then common. She
thus became possessed of the 'double
crown" After his death, in order to
have retained this, she must have
married her brother Thothme' III.
This she refused to do, and, after the
death of Thothmes III, she reigned
alone and gloriously. In the monu-
ments of Egypt she was always repre-
sented as Pharoah, and was referred
to in documents as 'Hatasu His
Majesty" In some bas-relief she is
represented as man, with beard tied
on. She was one of tho greatest
builder sovereigns in Egypt. She
erected on the east side of the Nile a
temple which has no par alel except in
the temples of Chaldea- On its walls
were bas-reliefs depicting the great
event of her reign-the build ing and
espatching of the first exploring
squadron in the world.

AS though it had limit;
There's not place in earth or heaven
There's not task to mankind given,

Dwellers by the sea have noticed for
years that their window panes grow
dull by the sand blown against them.
Gen. B. c. Tilghman, of Philadelphia,
about twenty years ago was the first to
see how much this familiar fact
meant. He thought that if a little
sand blown against glass cuts its sur
face, the operation could be reduced
from years to minutes if a great deal
of sand were blown against the glass
by pressure. His experiments proved
his surmise to be true, and now in
hundreds of factories throughout the
country the sand blast is busy not only
cutting glass for ornamental purposes,
but shaping glass for builders and FIN
ishing files OF hard steel for tool shops.
