A Grace Church window.

By nothing cam the prevailing state OF
taste be more accurately gauged than by
the monuments erected in churches and
other public places In the dark peri
DDS which every now and then come in
art church monuments erected by the
loving but mistaken friends Of the dead
have been often horrid monstrosities. 1t
is good to note decided advance in this
respect here in New York. In some OF
our churches exquisite windows, rival
ing in the delicacy of their tones those
to be found in the old churches Of the
continent of Europe, have been placed.
Now it rs announced that another door,
set in a carved doorway, is to be placed
in Grace church by the family of the
late Charles Griswold Langdon. This
will make each entrance to the church
represent a memorial to some former
member of the parrish. The good thing
about window on doorway: that in
each case there is a design TO improve
the church rather than satisfy that in
dividual pride which is SO manifest in
the case of SO many mural and statuary
memorials.-NewY York Sun.

BOSTON, July 20.-In a little more than
four weeks DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes
will enter upon his eighty-ffth year. In
one of his reminiscent moods not long
ago this venerable poet and philosopher,
who is now at his summer home in
Beverly Farms, said:
Nathaniel Parker Willis was in full
bloom when I opened my first portfolio
more than So years ago. Fifty years are
just enough to make everything hope
lessly old fashioned and not enough to
give anything the charm of real antiq-
uity.

baked bit of ware Willis was young,
already famous. He was tall. His hair
was of light brown color and waved in
luxurious abundance. His cheeks were
as rosy as if painted to show behind the
footlights. He was dressed with artistic
elegance. He was something between
remem brance of Count d. Orsay and
an anticipation of Oscar Wilde.
cat that earlier time Willis was by
far the most prominent American au-
thor. Cooper, Irving, Bryant, Halleck,

glances over our shoulders from time to

we see the mysterious figures still fol-
lowing us in the distance. We gain the
village at length and wander about the
streets for time, lest our inquisitive
landlady shall wonder at our speedy re-
turn, then go home and to bed.
The next morning as / step into the
little postoffice to mail our letters I find
our two followers of the previous even

evidently recognize me, for an amused
and qrlizzical smile flashes over their
faces. Seen in the light of day, the men
surely looked perfectly harmless, but

neither slow nor delicateaoous asserting
this belief and dispatched the reporter
again on the same mission with dlrec-

WHALLEY, England, July 13.-We
wheeled into this ancient, quaint little
village several days ago and decided
that we must stop for a few days. I
think it was the latticed window frames
that did it. aided by the ivy covered
black houses, the whole making a
strange yet picturesque scene bathed IN
the light of the setting sun.
We hunted up lodgings and obtained
them of prim little woman in a prin
little house. 'sYou're very dusty, y she
exclaimed, eying us somewhat askance.
/ hu1nbly acknowledged taat we were,
and she hustled briskly about hunting
up brushes and then led the way to her
back yard. Here she gave us such a
brushing and shaking that every particle
of dust was soon put to fight.
evil We find yourselves, or shall do
for We while you stay?" she asked, which
might as well have been Greek for the
matter of our understanding it in the
least. Observing the somewhat daft ex-
preston on our faces, she changed the
form of her Interrogation and said, 81
mean, wi We find your own meat, or WI
get it for YER And fastened to say
that we would much prefer she ''should
do for u.s." Next morning bright and
early we start out to ''see the sights. :"
We first hunt up the old church, and it
takes our combined strength to push
open the massive iron gate which opens
into the sleeping ground Of the dead"
