A second street dress, pretty and simple, is
of dull electric gray, with smaller and
shorter type of corselet, like a Swiss belt OF
a dove gray, lighter than the dress itself and
almost entirely covered with a braiding OF
black and silver cord. This corselet Is loose
from the under-arm seams, and laces over
bodice that is gathered full both back and
front. and that has Bolero straps about the
armholes and high dog collar closely COW

skirt has full back and an apron front

THE HARVARD LIBRARY.
A Needed and Beneficial Example
AtIlnr Instifu

Needed and Beneficial Example to
Other Institutions.
The center of the intellectual life of the
university is to be found in the library,
which, under the charge of its present emf
nent librarian, Mr.. Justin Winsor, is admin
istered with a lberality and efficiency I'M
paralleled in any collegiate library in the
world. The college library proper now
contains about 100000 volumes and ahout
2G0, Goo pamphlets, and if the libraries of the
separate schools and class-r0oms be added
the total number of volumes falls little
short of 100000 The accessons to the
library proper during the ten years from
1880 to 1889, inclusive, have been at the rate
of something over 11,G00 volumes annually.
The number of persons making use
of the library steadily increases from
year to year. Fourteen years ago 81 per
cent of the students made use of it,
in 1SS7-S8 the proportion for the whole col
lege had increased to 80 per cent, for the
three upper classes to 81 per cent; in 1889
the respective numbers were 81 per cent and
95 per cent. A more striking Illustration
of the general intellectual activity OF the
undergraduates could hardly be found.
Every student is allowed 10 take out three
volumes al time, and to change them as
often as he may desire. The total number
Of volumes taken cut in 1888 was 65,639;
III looo-oJ III was Oo,oJz Inc use Oh UoOkS
within the library itself is constant and in
creasing. Every facility is provided TO make
its stores accessible and serviceable to the
utmost degree. There can hardly be a
greater advantage TO the young student, no
less than to the old, than this placing
at his free disposal of the treasures
of a great library, and there is nothing
in which greater contrast is afforded
to the common practice OF most foreign uni
yersities. The advanced student who re-
turns TO Harvard after residence abroad
finds in its open library compensation for
whatever other advantages a foreign seat OF
learning may offer. In this admistration OF
its library Harvard has set needed and
beneficial example to all other institutions OF
learning. A natural doubt may, however,
arise as to whether young student, unac-
customed to the use of books, is likely to
make judicious use of the opportunity thus
put within his reach; but it is to be remem-
bered that his use will generally be guided
in the first instance by the directions of his
instructors, and that he will thus gradually
learn how to help himself in the vast choice
set before him Of the books fitted for his
needs or his entertainment.-Fr From Harvard

HONESTY is THE BEST POLICY.
COMPOSITION.
Jason Gould,
BEECHwooD SEMINARY,
April 8, 1850.


BY this proposition we mean that to be honest,
to think honest. and to have all our actions hon
estly performed, is the best way and must accord
with The preceptS OF reason.
Honesty Is OF a self-denylng nature; 10 become
honest it requires self-denial it requires that we
should not acquaint ourselves too much with the
world; that we should not associate with those
OF vulgar habits; also that we should obey the
warnings Of conscience.
II we are about 10 perform a dishonest act the
warnings OF conscience exert their utmost III
fueDCe 10 persuade us that 1t is wrong and we
should not do II, and, after we have performed
the ACT, this faithful agent upbraids US for 1t:
This voice OF conscience Is not the voice OF
thunder but voice gentle and Impressive. IL
does not force us TO comply with It's requests !;
while at the same time 1t reasons with us, and
brings forth arguments in favor OF right.
Since no theory Of reasoning can be sustained
without illustration, II will not be unbecoming
for us to cite one Of the many Instances that
have occurred whose names stand high upon the
scroll of fame and whose deeds are recorded on
the pages OF history: George Washington, the
man "who never told lie III all his life."
In youth he subdued his Idle passions. cher
ished truth, Obeyed the teachings of conscience.
and "never. never told lie" An anecdote
which is much related. and which occurred when
pG Pope oi his so~ ON nj Man." saws
Gan honest man is the noblest work Of God |"
And again, We ind innumerable passages In
the Scriptures which have an Immediate connec-
tiou TO this. and, summing uD the whole, we can.
JASON GOULD.
Mr.. Oliver says that one of Gould's class
mates at the Roxbury Academy was John
Burroughs...the eminent natuIalst-littera-
teur, the author of Wake Robin" and q
number Of other popular books. AS all
teachers know, to their sorrow, CON-
pusory measures are often necessary
to secure the dreaded composition, and so 1t
came about that the limit OF time had
nearly elapsed, and Burroughs, a difiident
country lad of Is, had been unable to indite
anything that he was willing to submit to
Principal divers eye, and he sat in. the
classroom quaking under the shadow OF the
penalty.
Give me your slate." said Gould, tapping
Burroughs on the shoulder.
The slate was passed over, some dog
gerel verses hastily dashed off, the slate re-
turned and tia shadow lifted from Bur
rough's mind. The situation, says Mr.. OF
liver, was characteristic: Burroughs, the
gifted essayist, waiting in vain for an in
SEPARATION, and Jason Gould, plucky and
self-reliant, then, as now, master OF the sit
uation.-N. Y Sun.
