THE END.
pce'c and Bood's Ideals,

Size IS well now-in her sepulcher
there by the sea. And he-how is it
with him? Is he well? Perhaps in one
sense he is better off-aye, vastly better
off--than many men whom the world
calls prosperous, and envies. He has
his Annabel Lee; he loved her, and was
loved by her; married her. and lived with
her for long and happy years-long
years that their happiness made, never
theless all too short, The past is al
ways secure. He has had his day; has
had his time Of happiness. Nothing can
alter that, He has still his Annabel
Lee. Better, far better, to remember
her than to mingle in the living society
of most others. Her memory will keep
his soul pure. and sustain him above the
commonpaces of life.
Which is tie better for man, in the
higher sense of the word-to have vearn-
ed for his Fair Inez and never found her,
and gone through all his life hoping for
her coming, and hoping in vain; or to
have found his Annabel Lee, and loved
her, and been loved by her, and married
her and lost her? or to have never
dreamed Of Fair lnez, nor found and
lost an Annabel Lee?
am not sure about the answer to the
first and second questions; am quite
sure about the answer, SO far as my own
feeling goes, to the third. / would rather,
ever SO much rather, have dreamed of
Fair lnez, and yearned 70. her, and
never found her-of course, | never
should have found her, and it would
not have been any good to me even if
had-or have found my Annabe Lee
and lost her, than have gone through
the world without the passion and the
pain. But as to the first and second
questions, am not so sure. Is it better
to seek the unattainable ideal, TO have
the eternal longing eternally unsatisfied,
or to have the ideal found, realized and
lost, and then the long and lonely la
ment? l am not able to give an answer.

BE not content. Contentment means
inaction.
The growing soul aches on its upward

Safety is twin to satisfaction;
Ali great achievements spring from

And the vast wonder of our shores had
Dawned on the gaze OF an admiring

Others there alighted from 1t u

has been paralyzcd In his lower

Then to the gold fields of California
he wended his way nearly forty
years ago, and in the days that
'tried mems souls" the patriotic
spirit and love for his country caused
him to start once again In response
to the fife and drum.
In this heroic effort in October,
1861, while attempting to make his
way through the Sierra Nevada
montains, he became lost from his
comrades and wandered I'm the drif
ing snow until in furnishing con-
dition he was found and taken
to shelter, paralyzed as he now is,
and has been ever since, with the
exception of brief period.

Mira Blaine.
[Philadelphla Times.l


1t Is a question whether there will be
much entertaining this winter at the
the home of the secretary of state, but
all obligatory entertainments of an Off
clal nature will be carried out. Mrs.
Blaine will probably give her regular
Wednesday receptions and her house
will be open on New Years. Mrs.
Blaine said last winter at one of her in
formal Saturday afternoons at home
during the trying period of her early
mourning that she felt it her duty to
smother all selfish feelings in the effort
to rouse her husband from the griel
which so completely untitled him for his
public duties. 1t was for this reason
that she kept up her social connections
when in reality she would have pre-
ferred to have been alone.
Mrs. Blaine is very good woman at
heart. She lacks, however, the personal
magnetism which her husband has In
know how to make her callers Away 8
ut home. The stiff bearing which she
has at times comes largely from
dnidence and from the unfavorable
criticisms which she has received. She
is a woman of strong domestic tastes,
and has had q wonderful talent for
making "the home beautiful" She
DOES ali kinds of beautiful fancy work,
She Is fine seamtress, and in times
past she has saved her husband many
dollars by her knowledge of dress
making. Up to the period OF Miss
Hattie Blaine's assumption of long
skirts at IL years of age, every dress she
wore was made by her mother hands.
The lace which ornamented these
dresses and the underclothing of tho
family were knitted by the ladies OF
Augusta who were in reduced circum -
stances, and who were much aided by
the needle work from Mrs. Blaine.
