Children's Faults.
PARENTS OFTEN RESPONSIBLE FOR
THEM.

Parents have proudly told me OF
sickening battles with their children.
will pitted against will, till at last the
strongest physique gained the mastery
and the child's ''will was broken Such
victories are worse than defeats. |
have seen father and his little boy
stand pitted against each other, with a
look in each face that | could call
nothing but hatred; and when I
thought of the power of the one and
the helplessness Of the other, | could
not but admire the boys pluck. There
should ibe no such occasions. The
parent stands convicted of utter STU
pidity in finding himself in any such
situation.
There are times when it is wiser for
the parent to ignore some mood on
the child's part. The part of the par
ent should be in ever seeking the wise
opportunity to impress the child with
the virtue that is the reverse of some
fault it falls into. Children pass
through various phases, and some
dragon of fault that one has been
worrying over and planring against
suddenly vanishes into thin air, and is
no more. Sometimes one fixes fault
by noticing 1t too much. The child
repeats the fault through an ability to
pass over it. 1t becomes like hard
word in the spelling-book that he has
met before. He recognizes the word
without knowing its name, and at the
same moment remembers his strug-
giles with it, and the painful impression
fills him with nervousness his mind
becomes confused, and he cannot con-
trol his thought. 1t is wise with
fault as with the hard word, to let it
so to escape it. Omit the hard word;
avoid anything to excite the habitual
fault. Presently the child forgets the
fault. 1t may be said that injudicious
parents often create their children's
faults.-Udrper's Bdzdr.

A New Years Reyerie.

Twas New Years eve quite long ago,
And blustry was the weather.
When Jess and | sat all alone
Before the fire together.
The wooden clock licked slowly on
In measured tones and broken.
And all the whilc we two sat tsrcre
Not one Of MS had spoken.
And rs the freight softly streamed
Upon her form so slender,
And played about her slippered feet,
Which rested on the fender,
could not help but think and dream
OF how | loved her dearly,
But lacked the vim 70 tell her so.
For was bashful merely.
Just then noise came To our ears
That sounded grim and ghostly,
And she was timid, women are
COr will venture mostly).
She hastened quickly to my side
And cried, "Oh, do not leave me,
For left alone in this old place
fear U viii sadly grieve me-"
My courage soon returned at last,
IsIddenly grew bolder,
And in a choked and falt'ring voice
Ispole up then and told her:
My place was always by her side,
That I'd forsalie her never,
But link my troubled heart with hers
And shield her now forever.
took.h gently in my arms
And kissed her dropping lashcs,
Which hid those eyes that shone as bright
Aslight things deepest flashes.
A crimson blush oerspread her face
And dyed her pretty dimple,
Which made her seein q school girl then,
So sweet she looked and simple.
And many times when I'm alone
And smoking in tho cleaning
SEQ the past within tho clouds
Which set my thoughts 10 roaming,
The night won dear .Icssle's heart,
With deep and tender feeling,
And all the uoi.ss that frightened her
Was rats betwcca tho ceiling.

A Christmas world IN IT. garb OF snow;
And her look was full OF line disdain
She counted her presents one by one;
The Dukes great prarl with lis ruby set,

Yet her heart was full OF minor strain;
She longed for the skier or southern land,
For light and beauty ON every hand,

SHE felt the breath OF that warmer air,
And saw the Cathedral, old and grey,
Where on festival days shc was wont 10 pray,

A quiver crept to her naughty mouth,
Her breast hoaved under the diamond clasp;
Though she had more than u Queen could

''The Midnight BelI' at the National.
"The Midnight Bell' rang its summons
for the assembling of great concourse at
the National last evening, and as the
Deacon tolled its changes in the belfry
the manager tolled the change in the box
office, and there was merriment and
jocund mirth all around. In one of the
fclicitous little lay sermons which Mr..
Hoyt occasionally breaches on the pro-
gramme he informs the reader that the
play is legitimate comedy, because it is
in four acts and has plot, whereas
farce-comedy is in three and has none.
On these grave and satisfying Hoytian
grounds we will call it legitimate comedy
and let ii go at that. II certainly is
higher grade of work than its predecessors
from the same prolific pen, and well
worthy to rank with 1.-The Old Home
steadn class of comedies to which it pro-
fessedly belongs. The Deacon, the Country
Boy, the Oh Maid and some of the Others
are well-recognlzed rustic types, sntli-
GENTLY well studied by both playwright
and players from living models to
satisfy the most eXacting critic of
New England eccentric character.
Then there Is fairly natural and easy
young lawyer, mild and innocuous min
lister, and q tabby and nervous villain,
who proclaims his villainy early in the
scene by wearing his evening trousers and
white lawn necktie in the daytime. He
steals a lot of bonds for no other ostensi-
BILE purpose than to stuff them in pew
cushion, while he continues to sing very
base in the church choir with lot Of
savage old maids and widows, who are the
real villains of this rural tragedy. THE
Midnight Bell" like the chimes of
Corneyille, interrupts him gloating over
his ill-gotten gains; he dies inglorlous
amid the old maids and widows the
harmless minister marries the pretty
school-marm, and everything ends serene
and lovely. a uniformly excellent COM
pany carries out the honorable intentions
of the dramatist as far as the dclineation
of 0musingly natural character and incl
dent Is concerned, and makes the most OF
the generally clever dialogue. Mr.. George
Richards as Dedcoa lidd, Is, if
possible, an improvement ON the very
similar dialect method of Mr.. Ezra Ken
dali, and Eugene Garfield, as Ktrtia
Trip, fully sustained the reputation of
the immortal Front of the "Bunch of
Keys" Miss Fanny Mcintyre was pre-,
cisely the sort of precei.ress one would
like to go to school to; Miss Marie Mart,
as the acidulous spinster clever COM
panion study TO the DedcoH, and Miss
| Percy lIaswell, as the Minister'S bright
| little sister, as charming an htgeiiue as
could reasonably be demanded. Garfield
had funny song and dance, as usual,
and the village choir-Misses Mart and
Stembler and Messrs. Moore and Luck
stone-sang old Scotch melodies 10 the ap.
| parently nexhaustible delight of the au-
dience. The play will be the attraction al

Correspondence Ne,U York Times.
Underwear seems to have taken quite
new and rather curious start here within
the last two weeks owing to the severe
cold. Mongolian goatskin, properly pre-
pared and perfumed, is used to make a
loose, tight undergarment, suitable for
skating or morning excursions or coach
ing journeys. 1t is as soft and pliabe
and as delicate as agood sucdeglOve. AT the
knee gilt cord ties the pdntdion, and
around the low-neck chemise is fine gold
embroidery. Good figures can have u
corset of the same stitched in gold thread
and trimmed with sealskin..
The latter is used u great deal by Beau
seigneur for corset trimming, and the lat
ter are often made now of velvet. She
makes invariably this season the pctticoat
to match, and pretty shades of velvet with
seal trimmings are exquisite in finish and
very comfortable, ii very expensive,
Beauseigneur uses gold-wrought brocades
for corsets, which she has worked herself
as they used to do for the beautiful Nine
de Pompadour. We are fast going back
to the extravaganza of the Louis XIV.
period, and the aforementioned author
ity tells me that the American ladies find
properly presented.
The winter styles may now be said to be
about decided, and to avoid the uniformity
of the plain jupes, If cloth is used, velvet
waists are adopted with very-much-
broidcred sleeves. For instance, plain
black velvet skirt will have scarlet velvet
waist, embossed in black. The plain skirts
have wonderful corsages, all embroidered
bediZened, heavy, with imitation stones
Jet, beads, gold, silver, and bright metals.
All the good old lace can be taken out.
False baby bibs of rich lace are put on
plain high-neCk waists, and lace is made
to form Figaro jackets and even coats. A
few lace wells are worn, and they are found
to be as becoming now as they were con-
sidered to be hideous few years ago.
Lace handkcrchiefs make chair protectors
MS well as the antique lace parasols. Lamp
shades, too, are made of the latter, and
cushions. Keep your finery with care, it
always comes back again for use and cle-
gance.
Among the New Years gifts in the Rue
de Ia Paix are white galize fans with nat
ural butterflies put on the thin surface
with wondrous art; the blonde shell han
die has inlaid flies and bugs in gold and
silver.
And now to very much more serious
subject. There has been so much talk
about the return of crinolincs that some
enterprising Figaro spirit interviewed the
unbending authority of NJ. Felix upon
the subject. NJ. Felix laughs to scorn all
such intention. lie says, furthermore

Another Ainerlcan soprano.

Another American soprano has just
been setting all Paris agog. She is Miss
Aiding, or Mile. AIDING, as she is styled in
the programme, and she halls from Bos-
ton. In the revival of LA Patre' ut the
Grand Opera the success of the evening
was undoubtedly made by her singing in
the part which was originally created by
Nine. Krauss. II is safe to say that the
role was never so well sung as It was by
the American young lady, who was q pupil
of the French Academy of Music. BY her
performance she has clearly shown herself
to be one of the greatest dramatic sopranos
now living. All the leading critics are
artist, and their praise is enthusiastic, sew
eral of them comparing her to Nine, Patti
in her palmiest days.

TuE ANNOUNCEMENT that Surgeon NJ. l..
Rurn, u. S. ~, has been assigned to the
new cruiser Newark, with prospect of
going TO sea at an early date, has led to a
vast amount of comment in the newspa-
pers. The Washington correspondent of
the New York SIN, edition of the 1lth,
refers 10 the matter in sufficiently kind
and pleasant terms, but some other Wash
ington correspondents take occasion TO
discuss it in very different fashion.
just what the complaint is we are not
quite able TO ascertain. That the Doctor
was on shore duty for few years,
and that he has since been ON waiting
orders, cannot constitute the whole of his
offense. These things happen to every
navy officer in turn, and have never here
tofore been regarded as discreditabe.
There are not ships enough to accommo-
date all the officers at one time, and, be-
sides, there is a great deal of shore duty
that has to be performed by somebody.
II occurs to us, however, from certain
scomful references to the Doctors habits
and appearance, that he may have given Of
fcnse by reason of his personal pulchritude
and his social popularity. We fear that
he has SO far forgotten himself MS to lead
"A german occasionally, or accept a spo-
radio invitation to dinner. 1t is possible,
also, that hehas neglected. to wear trousers
which bag at the knee, and that he may, in
general have presented that effeminate
appearance Of noatness, and that cnerva-
ting suggestion of soap so abhorrent to the
patriotic American mind. II these things
be true, we enter with enthusiasm into
the feelings of the correspondents who
think il high time he should be ordered
to sea. We cannot afford 10 have the
sweet and wholesome simplicity Of this
democratic capital poisoned by the con
tinucd presence Of person who persists
in minding his own business and looking
like gentleman.
