Eugene Fields Grandmother.

Grandma was a pillar in the
Congregational Church, writes
Eugene Field in a tenderly pathetic
"Reminiscences of his grandmother
under the title of The Woman
Who Most Influenced Me" in the
January Ladies Home Journal.
At the decline and disintegration
of the Universalist society, she re-
joiced as cordially as if a temple of
Baal or an idol of Ashtaroth had
been overturned. Yes, grandma
was PuritaniCal-not TO the extent
of persecution, but a Puritan i'll the
severity of her faith and in the eN-
acting nicely of her Interpretation
of her duties to God and mankind.
Grandma's Sunday began at six
O. clock Saturday evening; by that
hour her house was swept and
garnished and her lamps trimmed,
and every preparation made for a
quiet, reverential observance Of the
Seventh Day. There was no cook
ing there on Sunday. At noon
Mrs. Deacon Ranney and other old
ladies used to come from church
with grandma to eat luncheon and
discuss the sermon and suggest
deeds Of piety for the ensuing week.
remember Mrs. Deacon Ranney
and her frigid companions very
distinctly; they never smiled and
they wore austere bombaziness
that rustled and squeaked dolor-
ously. Mrs. Deacon Ranney sell
dom noticed me further than to
regard me with a look that seemed
to stigfnatize me as an incipient
vessel of wrath that was to be dis
approved of, and | never liked Mrs.
Deacon Ranney after heard her
reminding grandma one day that
Solomon had truly said, "Spare
the rod and spoil the child"

in neighboring city not long ago,
a company of women were organiz-
ing for action in a field where
masculine efforts were already being
eNerted, and they objected to hav-
ing their society called THE
Women's Board of Aid" on the
ground that their masculine analo-
CUES working in the same field, did
not call their organization The
Mems Board of Aid" Although
these two societies were occupying
the same ground, yet it was reason
able to expect that the two would
cover the same ground in quite
different ways; and if the women
in question had realized that fact
as fully as they ought to have done,
so far from wanting to exclude the
term women they would have
been anxious to attain it, and to
have proved that their work was
equally as valuable

Robert Burdstte'S Inspiration.

Yesterday it was-March 4, 1870
that we were married, writes
Robert J. Burdette in tenderly
pathetic article on The Woman
Who most Influenced Me-" in the
February Ladies Home Journal.
When we went to our home-a
tiny cottage in Peoria, big enough
for play hOuse-she was a butter
fly in the very joyousness Of exist
ence. Life held so much for her.
Hers was the happiness Of a child
the caroling delight Of a bird.
Every day sparkled with radient
hopes and new fedged pleasures.
She was musical; her voice was
one of surprising sweetness, and
it was the last of Gods beautiful
gifts to be taken away from her.
She was a brilliant pianist: she
used to say that when her husband
did his work at home, she could
make him write in what mood she
would. And indeed she could and
did. His mind Conld not help but
follow the leading of her magical
touches as the piano gave forth its
ripples of singing laughter. its ten
der strains of life's pathos that fell
across the heart like November
shadows, or the material measures
of some rolling march that thrilled
the blood like the CadenCed step
of marching men, the huttering OF
banners shaken out i'll the fierce
gusts of the battle storm. When,
after many days, the increasing
weakness and distortion held her
hands, and wrested from the
childish fingers their power to
charm these musical sprites from
the white slumber of the ivory keys,
the trial was indeed bitter. Many
tears and pangs it cost. The
closed piano was eloquent in the
very silence Of its pathos. But, as
in all her struggles, there could
be but one ending-victory. The
piano was opened again. She could
still, even with her lame hands
which could not lift themselves &c
wipe the tears from her eyes, play
simple accompaniment, and down
to almost the last days she would
be carried to the instrument and
accompany herself while she sang,
for to the voice of her girlhood
chung all the sweetness of the morn,
ing time How many times, when
the night was long and filled with

SATURDAY.
February End, 1895.
The Queen Of ItaIy's Tact.

One day last year during the
festivities which celebrated the
silver wedding of the King and
Queen Of Italy, the German En-
peror was driving with King Hum
bert through the streets of Rome,
writes Arthur Warren in a prOfuse-
ly-illustrated article describing the
home life. and personality of The
Bonnie Quenn Of Europe" as
Queen Marguerite of italy is called,
in the February Ladies' Home
Journal. There was no parade.
The two monarchs were merely
taking an airing. Presently Will
helm, who is much more fond of
ceremonial than Humbert happens
to be, turned to the King and said:
Lets call out the troops for a
salute"
King Humbert suggested THAT it
was hardly practicable; that it was
not the custom to call out the Ital-
ian troops merely to salute the
King.
Why" exclaimed the impul-
SiVe German monarch with a laugh,
you are King! Can't you call out
your own troops when you like"
"Oh," replied the King, not
caring to have the issue pressed,
there comes Marguerite; we will
ask her"
The Queens carriage, with Her
Majesty and the German Empress,
was following, so they waited for
it. Then the King. with a quietly
humorous show of difference, re-
ferred the matter to the Queen,
who took in the predicament
instantly, and, gravely addressing
the Emperor, said; "You see we
are close to the Vatican, and l fear
it would alarm the Pope if we were
to call out the troops. He is not
accustomed to such displays under
his window, and should not Like
to alarm the dear old man"
There was no salute that day.
l have heard Queen Marguerite
called "the personihcation of
Charity" When one of her
friends advised her to be econUni
cal "beca Use one never knows
what may happen" the Queen re-

piled: mo; what comes from the
country must go back to the coun-
try" She is an enthusiastic and
discriminating patron of art, and
has done much to encourage lace
manufacture and the production of
silk embroidery in Italy; she is
actively interested in founding in
dustrial schools for girls; she con-
tributes literally to hospitals, and
orphan and blind asylums, and
to the children's hospitals, and
tell stories to the youngsters and
brings them toys.

Poetry Is not an Art.

To sum all up, poetry is not a
skill, pleasantly, a device, all
art; it is the secret life and light
without which not anything was
made that is made, writes Mrs. A.
d. y. Whitney in the fifth of her
Friendly Letters to Girl Friends"
i'll the February Ladies Home
Journal. 1t is the sacredness of
being. In it there are these three;
sense, soul, spirit-Nature, Lite,
Revelation. Such is the Trinity of
Inspiration. A perfect poem is
natural, human and divine.

pain, did we hear her, softly sing
ing to herself in the darkness.
One day, when they laid her
baby in her arms, there dawned
the hope that the baby boy would
bring to his mother health and
strength even as he brought her
the deepest, sweetest happiness Of
all her life.
But the hope was transient; the
Improvement in her health was
but brief.

Sequel to "a Fairy Story.

An anecdote has been related by
VAN Grimm, one of the pair af ia
nous story tellers. One day a little
girl rang their bell and met him in
the hall with the words, you are the
Mr.. Grimm who writes the pretty
talesT' Eyes, l and my brother"
and that of the clever little tailor
who married the p~rincess:". yes, GER
talnly." well, said the child, pro-
ducing the book, lit is said here that
every n who doesn't believe it must
pay him a thaler. Now, / don't be-
lieve that a princess ever married n
tailor. l haven't so much as n thaler,
but here is a grOSchen; and please say
| nope to pay the rest by degrees"
Just then Jacob came up, and the
brothers had an interesting interview
with the little dame; but they could
not persuade her to take away the
g~roschen which she had laid an the
table.
