LOOSE THREADS.

in the daybreak time of childrood, as long as the generation of men shall start out upon that path with the sympathetic heart of a little child.
 Through all the centuries, as civili- zation has advanced. there has been a part of the people, upright, noble mind ed, God-fearing to leaven the lump of wickedness, and rescue the perishing of good from out the world. Gener- ally, this part has been the middle class, or the exceptions in the highest circles. In the period, for instance. when Henry VIII. and his unprincipled parasites seemed to defy morality and Justice, and true religion was yelled as cloud covers star, there were gentle spirits, like the daughters of Sir Thomas Moore, far from court, though the King did sometimes visit Sir Thomas at his home. who walked modestly and humbly and inteiligently along the path of their lives, feeding the poor. comforting the sorrowful, holding high the light that showed Christ-lfe above all others.
 These and such as these, when the time came, did preserve the sentiment that must fructify the world and give to civilization its forward trend.
 In the United States there is a class of our people, not the majority, but suf- ficiently large in number, to hold public sentiment in leash, who may justly be considered the head and front of pro- gressive civilization and by whom the great destinies of our Republic are to be achieved.
 These are neither rich nor renowned neither struggling for pre-eminence, nor challenging the world to espouse some impossible fad, but are lovers of honor, deniers of self fearless of God These are found among all classes.
 Foreigners who note from a distance the unseemIy struggle that goes on in out midst for political preferment; who head, in disgust our postoff1ce scandals, and bank reports of abscond- ing infamy, make a rough estimate of our morals, and club us together, as a crowd which is pressing each other in it's downward haste toward destruction the millions of lovely homes in which husbands and wives live in sanctified harmony. with obedient children, who heed their precepts and grrow more by the example of their parents than by prescriptions of cold creeds. Yet, these exist, and are to save our republic from the fate of the old republics of Greece and Rome, where corrupt rulers set the example to soldiers and serfs and the happy middle class had been plotted from the page of domestic life. We are thankful for the Rhodes scholar ships. but we are not, as this nobleman believed, in aching need of English in- filtration of learning, literature or lofty living.

 The oldest as well as the newest of all arts is being presented, in the fash ion of story telling for children, under most favoring circumstances.
 Children are, at last, to get the at tention necessary to them, in one par ticular at least. For many long year 'any old place" was considered good enough for them to be crammed into, and the one maxim of "to be seen and not heard" was the chief philosophy administered, during all their waking hours.
 Speak when you are spoken to. Do as you are bid.
 Shut the door after you
 And you'll never he chid,"
 a quartrain familiar to all children. has shown the negative side towards which all the tenderness directed to child ren had alignment.
 Childish imaginations have always had thirstiness for told-tales, the very same tale may not only be twice told but a dozen times. I have seen the little ones huddled in a circle around tale teller, (remember how Dickens and Waiter Scott amused their little friends) of their own number to listen to a story which each one could tell as well as the speaker, and which every body helped with a word or sup piled an omission, yet followed with &ide-eyed interest. A new tale would have filled them with ecstasy.
 Reading to children is well, but the story teller is welcome
 Children's parties in fine houses are lately much embellished by the inter tainment of stories. Some graceful women, fine voiced, and gifted, whose profession 1t is to entertain with fairy tales. appearing before the merry groups to recount Anderson's or even more ancient tales This gives as much pleasure as the bonbons that come later.
 How much better this is, than the old way that permitted an ignorant negro for the Uncle Remuses are rare. or a loose -moraled white person to make the selection which in many cases would have mortified the elders. The right kind of stories told in the right way enriches the lives of chill dren.
 In Anderson's fairy tales there are beauties and tributes revealed that even small children discern. The weakness and strength the littIeness, man action, as well as the sweetness inimitable stories are we'll worth an interpreter who can set forth the strivings and strugglings of the hu- man heart-and add new delight to the child-world.

IN COMPLIMENT TO MIR. WILD.

Many of the musical persons and music-lovers of the city had been invited to meet Mir.

THE LADY DIsCoNTENT.


 There was no fault to be found with the German. She would herself have Acknowledged 1t, for she was honest and frank to a degree; yet there was never seen such a face of discomfort.
 Her had humor could not efface the dimplees--three of them, though the one upon her chin suffered from the disorder within. She was right cross with her partner and openly charged him with her lack of popularity. She said that The had chosen bad seat 'Every body but you," she continued Knows this corner is unlucky.'
 He was somewhat dazed by this at- tack which he thought unwarranted for he was Kinder stuck on her., ana had exerted himself that she might fully enjoy the evening. He mustered courage to say "~hy you have been out three times" and there have been only three figures danced.
 Suppose there have been, she snapped at him, T usually get taken out two or three times in every fig ure."
 Be it remembered Nthat this occur renee was before the everybody pop ular' style of German leading was in vogue. when the number of times taken out" was test of popularity. when a popular woman would have sccrned a force out" and in prob ability would tell you that she knew you did not Intend taking her" out. But these ideas grew old as did the clubs that practiced them. and they are disused as the clubs are abandoned; because the magic phrase mot up-to-l date" was their warrant of doom. The date for the coming of better ideas and of more enjoyable clubs has not yet been set. In the interim. there is nothing doing yet, there Is always hope.
 There was no abatement of her i'll humor, and he quit trying to placate Fher: and indeed. left the german, and took refuge in other ways known to men for passing the time; ways that are sometimes taken to induce forget fulness. The leader easily found her a substitute for there was then as there is probable now, a set of men called stags, this word is a synonym for "beat" because they enjoy an ev- ening to the fullest and escape the cost of escorting a lady. Strange to relate these men are as a rule. popu- lar. But we are not now discussing the insight of a society woman.

 The marriage soon after of a very popular society man with a lady in R distant city is believed to have been the cause. anticipated, of her evening of cross purposes and her loss of friend. It is an easy proposition that should the lady discontent see this she will remember. Let us wonder if she re- grets. Van.
