His First Latter.

A writer in The Christian Union gave
an amusing account Of the first letter
ever written to his wife by certain
old gentleman. The couple had never
been separated in all the years of their
married life until pa, at the age Of 70,
concluded to visit some relatives in Bos-
ton.
When he was preparing to start on
his memorable trip, his wife, who was
to remain at home, said: PA. you new

hope when you git safely there you II

you bore the journey. I'll buy sheet
of paper and put in wafer, SO you
won't have no trouble about that.
Pa was absent week, and faithful
to his promise he sent letter. 1t read
thus:

BE PATENT WITH TIE LIVING.

Sweet friend. when thou and art gone,
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need OF grace
From comrade or from neighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing
What tender truth shall we have gained.
Alas, by simple dyingl
Then lips too chary of the praise
WIN tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to soc
Shall no defect discover;
Then hands that would not lift q stone
When stones were thick to cumber
Der steep hill path will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both you and /.
Ere love is past forgiving,
should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the livingl

Our binding tears tomorrow;

NY MOTHERS MEMORY,

There is one bright star in heaven
Ever shining in my night.
God to me one guide has given,
Like the sailors beacon light.
Set on every shoal and danger,
Sending out its warning ray
To the home bound weary stranger
Looking for the landlocked bay.
In my farthest, widest wanderings
have turned me to that love,
As diver meath the water
Turns to watch the light above.

AFTER THE PLAY.

The curtains down, the play is Ger,
A tragedy with blood galore.
The many actors of the play
Come out and homeward wend their way.
The Villain bold, who, on the stage,
All trouble breeds, and in a rage
Forces the hero to obey,
Until the final end of play,
Comes forth and passes down the street,
Where throngs go by with hurried feet.
A little child with frantic yell
Has slipped before a. train, and fell.
The villain rushes from the throng,
And grasps the child in arm so strong.
And he who caused the mimic strife,
To save the child gives up his life.
The hero, who, an hour ago,
Was ready in the mimic show
His life to sacrifice, that naught
Deserts his wife. and in a den
Frequented by the worst of men
Cares naught that She awaits alone,
Her Wretched husbands coming home.
The Funny Man comes through the door,
The one whose antics made all roar,
And brushes past with anxious face,
Nor pauseS in his hurried race.
But climbs a stairway to a room
Where no suns rays can light the gloom;
And there upon q trundle bed
He gazes on his baby-deadi

A ROSE GnMN.

Doucet, of Paris, has capped the
climax of exquisite creations in fenli-
nine toilets in. a gown that arrived the
other day on La Bretagne for Miss De
Wolfe, to wear: in the drawing-room
scene of ''The Masqueraders.'
The rose is the text, so to speak, of
the dress. The full, fiaring skirt, in
sweeping length, is of pale yellow SHIN
mering satin, embroidered to the knee
with a trellis of roses in lovely pink
and blush rose tints. The embroidery
is done by hand in relief, the rose
petals being actual leaves of silk
wrought upon the satin in such wise
as to make them stand out quite as
real roses would clambering upon a
lattice. Above the trellis the skirt is
spangled to the waist with minute gold
paillettes.
The bodice represents al cluster of
pink roses tied with a sash. There is
a foundation body of yellow silk and
chiffon, and across the front are set
three full-blown, long-stemmed roses.
the stems of which are thrust under a
girdle of pale leaf-green velvet, which
forms all the lower portion of the bod
ice This is slightly wrinkled instead
of being perfectly smooth: the stems
fall below the girdle upon the skirt
carrying out the quaint conceit that the
bodice is a boquet. One large rose is
also set on each short puff sleeve
A new Worth dress that Miss De
Wolfe wears in the first act at the hunt
ball is also a novelty &rhe skirt is of
palest silvery gray satin9 opening at the
left side TO the waist over a petticoat
panel of pale green velvet embroidered
all over in festoons of silver; the satin
is bordered where it falls apart over
the green with a leaf pattern into which
the satin is actually shaped, each leaf
richly embroidered by hand in silver.
