12 TUE PAUPER'S DRIVE. There's . grim one-horse hearse la a jolly round trot— To the churchyard a pauper is going, I sot; The road it is rough, and the hearse h.:s no springs. And hark to the dirge that the oM driver sings: “Kettle his bone- over the stones. lie is only a pauper whom nobody cons." On, where aro the mourners? Alas! there are uono. He lias left not a gap in the world now he's gone. Not a tear in the eve of ehild. woman or man. To the grave with nis carcass as fast ns you can. Rattle his bones over the stones. He's only a pauper, whom nobodv owns. .tVhat a jolting aDd creaking, and splashing and din! The whip bow it cracks, and the wheels how they spin' How the dirt right and left o’er the hedge* is hurl and! The pauper at length makes a noise in the world! Rattle bis bones over the stones. He is only a pauper, whom nobody owns. Poor pauper defunct! he has made some ap proach To gentility, now that he s stretched in a coach; He is taking a drive in his carriage at last; But it will not be long, if he goes on so fast. Rattle his bones, over the stones. He is only a pauper, whom nobody owns You bumpkins’ who stare at your brother con vey'd. Behold what respect to a cloddy is paid, And be joyful to think, when by death you're laid low. You’ve a chance to the grave like a gemmau to go. Rattle his bones over the stones, He Is only a pauper, whom nobody owns But a truce to this strain! for my soul it is sad. To think that a heart in humanity clad Should make, like the brutes, such a desolate end. And depart from the light without leaving a fn-nd. Bear softly his bones over the stones, Though a pauper he's one whom his Maker yet owns. TnoMas Noel. A WOMAN’S LODGING HOUSE. Miss Grace H. Dodge and the Working Girl’s Guilds. New York, April ;X>. —'This is a kindly •world, good people, alter all. A month ago, or thereabouts, I wrote you an account, of tbescheme of seventy New York shop girls who are making their wages yield them de cent living by starting a working woman’s co-operative hotel. If I could, I would give you a peep into my postman’s bundle since. Letters! They lie about in confusion on tny desk this minute, punctuated by ink liottle, pastepot, and scissors; letters, yes, and an offer of hard cash for the furtherance of the enterprise, too. On Monday morning a Reeond lodging bouse, to be managed by factory (fil ls and for the accommodation of factory girls, will open its doors, and there is a prospect of a half dozen more such common sense exjieri ments in the fall. The New York working girl is waking up. All pessimistic report* of the helplessness and hoftelessness of her con dition to the contrary notwithstanding, she shows a noticeable increase in practical in telligence, and she owes it in a large meas ure to the influence of a half dozen women, of whom the most active, I supi>ose, is Miss Grace H. Dodge. To the public Miss Dodge is known as a granddaughter of William E. Dodge and the younger of the two representatives of .her sex, chosen presumably for her interest in manual training, on the School Board. There are some thousands of working girls scattered throughout the city, however, who took her appointment by Mavor Hewitt as jr. honor personal vo themselves and who ■fetch the newspapers with a jealous eye to H every word of criticism or approval that Sr President" receives. Miss Dnlge is two {•three years on the girlish side or 30, tall, ■feb-cheeked and brown haired. yesterday aftci in,:i!i I found my way. her invitation, to a modest house in West Birty-eighth street, where comparatively ■fe visitors aside from regular habitues are admitted. Ir was a cheerful looking place —eo far as a block house can lie cheerful— even from the outside, with its apronful of turf scrupulously kept, its brasses scrubbed to eclipse its neighbors and its curtains [Stowing in the wind.

Girls were ■■Tying up-stair- and down-stairs, and There was a sound of fresh voices over the place. Their reception room is the joy of these working girls’ lives. It was bare enough when they came into It, anil the early meetings in the clubhouse were held on bare floors ami with a paucity of tabh-s and chairs. Time, patience, ingenuity and hard earned pennies, saved sometimes out of a •wage of $5 a week, have worked a surpris ing change. There have been windfalls of luck. too. Alt invalid sailing to Europe for a term of years lent some pretty bit* of furniture instead of having them stored. Mr. J. Wells' Champnev. the artist, gave the girls some tabs on pictures, and left be hind a couple of his own -ketches as souvenirs. With a piece of self-denial here and a gift there, the girl from the tenement house ran educate her eves with a parlor as dainty, if not so expensive, as any lady on the a venue. This recent ion room one evening in the week is the headquarters'of the woman jdtysieiau. whom the girls consult about their bodily ills. Behind it is the library, where books, newspapers, letter writing and social chat collect u group nightly. There are a couple of classrooms and a kitchen, where lessons in cookery, dress making, millinery, singing and “First Aid to the Injured" hold I licit sessions on differ ent evenings, by turn. Once a week Miss Dodge gives the club an informal talk on some practical, everyday topic, ranging' front “health" and '‘nutritious l'c*sis" to “what to read,” the “uses of money," “parliamentary rules" and “tools.” la*c- Um* and concert- offer themselves now and then through the winter without prior. The. financial side of the working girls' club lias proved less troublesome than might have lieen supposed. The rent, of tho clnh hous) is pi A* n month, but the upper rooms are je to lodgers, which, brings the cost to the girls themselves down to alsmt 835. lhies ofaftc. a month from 300 members, something more than pay the bills, leaving a fund toward the classes, for which, in Home cases, tuition fees an* charged beside.

The above design was furnished us for publication by the Association, a large firm of Architects doing business at 11*1 Broadway, New York, who make a specialty of country and suburban work, living able to 'wings and specifications for more than three hundred different designs, mostly of low aud moderate cost. They invite correspondence from all intending buildcrSHp^RJdistant. They will send theii latest publication (called Shoppell's Modern Houses, No. 5) containing more than fifty designs, on receipt of fl. to cut and make her own gowns and to eon coct a presentable hat, from last year’s leav ings, sometimes. She grows ambitious as she gains in intelligence and education, and not infrequently graduates into better work than that with which she begun. Miss Dodge’s Thirty-eighth Street Club— she act* a* its presiding officer, though she says it is more than capable of managing its own affairs —is only a type of the newly developed working girls’ guilds. It is not now safe and in two or three years it will be impossible to form any estimate of the eon ctltlou of the younger generation of the prisoners of poverty without taking these organizations into account. In a very brief jieriod of time, and largely through the in spiration of Miss Dodge's work, from eigh teen to twenty such clubs have come into existence, and in the metrojiolitan district, counting New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Hoboken and Yonkers together, they count from 5,000 to 0.000 members. They have orgaiiizod without public notice arid with out public knowledge, the independent girl-s who compose them shrinking from any news paper celebrity lest the clubs might he branded us “charitable" schemes. The allied societies have • general hoard of directors of which Miss Dodge is the head, and their joint action holds out a promise of brighter days ahead for the working woman, the like of which New York has not yet seen. Co-operative lodging houses for self-sup porting girls are among the practical plans outlined lor the near future. The Fourth Street Club, made up for the most part of the employes of a straw hat factory, will open, as I said at the outset, such a castle ot refuge on Monday. This society, the Girls’ Endeavor Club it calls itself, is as enterpris ing a body of young women as the city eou tains. and if it* plans work, its example is likely to lx* followed by the greater part of all the clubs in town.’ The working girl is capable enough—she shows her executive ability abundantly in the trades unions— and now that Miss Dodge is giving her tt little intelligent guidance she is likely to build up •* monument worth having to'her name.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 1, 1887-TWELVE PAGES. UP, DOWN AND AROUjBa. Fact and Fiction About Their Doings. jßßpi New York, April 30.—1 wondir If’vwt know Mary Tillinghast. She used to be. John La Fargo’s partner, and Vanderbilt paid her $30,000 once upon a time for in venting anew sort of tapestry hanging for his houses. Of the women who have taken up decorative art as an occupation she is, lierhaps, as conspicuously successful as any. spent an hour m her studio in Washington square yesterday, looking at tho designs for a memorial window that she has just com pleted for Grace Church, New York. It would be hard to find an old New Yorker who did not know tho name of Ben jamin F. Hutton, and who had not at his tongue’s end the fairv tale—common enough in this land of the free, by the way—of the noor hoy, the diligent youth, the plucky and luckv importer, the Aladdin’s fortune, the two beautiful daughters, the capture of a couple of European titles and the final death of the merchant and his wife within a few months of each other. By virtue of the European titles—and they had more virtue in them this time than often falls to the lot of New York heir esses—the beautiful daughters are now the Marquise <!e Porte* and the Countess de Moltke Hiedwcl ! To Countess and Mar quise then it some time since occurred to erect in Grace Church a stained glass w in dow to file memory of their untitled father. Miss Tillighast submitted drawings, whose motive was supplied by Murillo’s “Jacob's Dream. *’ No paste of cathedral art had ever been intrusted in this country to a woman, but her designs were so obviously the liest that needs must: precedent was brokeu through. The gloss has been pre pared under iter personal supervision, and the work is now practically complete.

JENNY JUNE'S NEW JT.ACE. Jenny June has stepped into her new place as editor of < fic/ej/ s fxutfi fionl,-, and begun her tasks as energetically as if she had not. thirty years and more of busy i>cn labor behind her. "I have never known from the tiegiiinilig,” she said a few days ago, "what it was to have difficulty in Had ing work, but if editors und newspapier tinders have liked what I wrote, ilnmsthave lieen of their own kindness, fori have never set nay value on it myself.” Mrs. (’roly's daughter, Vida, is one of the most promis ing pupils of the Lyceum Theatre School of Acting.

There under tho “gambrel roof” that Miss Lareom has commemorated in sprightly verse the two hold communion, while the practical villagers passing out side irreverently grumble not u little at Whittier’s inveterate habit of tying his horse and leaving him standing across the sidewalk. MAY IN NEW YORK. The month <>f May, when poets sing of roses and meadows decked with green, is. in the vicinity of New York, the fitting time for half the world—or has lieen. Fortunes are changing and even the May moving day, so long sacred to New Yorkers, is giv ing way before tin? ineonociastie spirit of the age. Enough, and more than enough of it. is left, however. The removals of the great annual Hitting time, often useless, often undertaken without other reason than restlessness no peculiar to American life, must cost, the people of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City, directly and in directly, not loss than $3,000,000 in actual money outlay, to say nothing of personal discomfort. Moving time entails an endless train of discomforts and disorders. Jt means a clear month's comfort gone out of the year in preparing for the move and get ting over it; is the direct cause of broiieu furniture not a little, of wrecked tempers by the thousands and of much actual suf fering. But moving day is not what it used to be. People who move in spring ore beginning to discount it by removing at any time during the latter part of April, so that the Hist, of May no longer resembles the fag end of a furniture dealer's nightmare so timelimit, did. The real estate agents, too, have eon spired against moving nay. Not that the agents waut people to ste\ where they are and forswear change. By no means. The more removals the more commissions for the agents. It is to increase their own profits and those of the owners tbatsuch strenuous efforts have bt on made, and with much suc cess, to substitute October for May as the moving time Many landlords now let houses from October in October, ami more an anxious to do so, Tin reason is teat a good many people of moderate ntoans whose only hope of getting wives und ba bies into tho country for the summer is to strip paying rent have lieen in the habit of giving up their lions son May 1. storing the furniture, packing oft the family and seek ing board until (letober, when the city resi dence could lie safely resumed in another quarter. This arrangement was tine for the tenants, but it was bail for tho owners and agents, eon vquently tl, I mil to be stopped. And it is lx‘ing stopped. DEATHS A MONO CITY RABIES. 1 wonder if it has occurred to the advo cate* of October I-uses that if they could have things quite their own way they would increase tins annual number of deaths among eitv babies by some hundreds. If anything can is- definitely established by experience, that the city air during the hot months is fatal to children under .i years old is so established. In tho three cities named over two children sometimes die in u single week of very hot weather—hundreds more than in spring or autumn, thousands more in the course of the season than would die if all the babies could bo taken out of the city for the hot months. And to this number, ghastly and appalling ns it is, yet more must be added this year and next if the renters of houses have their way. This an nual slaughter of the innocents is some thing with which society has yet proved : powerless to cope. The fresh air funds and seaside homes, admirable as their work is. do but faintly alleviate it. Perhaps, rather than render * the condition of things still worse, it would be better that a few thou sand houses and flats should lie vacant from May to October. A bright young niece of Maria Mitchell, of Vassal*, is one of the proof-readers on the new Century dictionary. The work is gone over six times, she tells me. additions and emendations being made each time. The matter, as it is received from the specialists who have charge of different departments of the undertaking, is distributed to girts who nit it up, arranging each word with the comments thereon in its alphabetical order and pasting all on big blown paper sheets. The type-writer is then railed into requisition to make a clean copy to put into the hands of the print r. The proof-reader's task is not an easy one. for she is supposed to keep track of a mass of references and cross references binding the different parts of the work together the slips relating to which fill tiers of drawers and are as volum inous in the aggregate as the card catalogue of a good sixc.i library. A couple of new departures of the dictionary are that it capitalizes only proper names, and that dif ferent sounds of the vowels and different meanings of the same prefixes and suffixes are designated by arithmetical powers, as al, aff, etc., up pretty well in the Arabic numer als. THE NEIGHBORHOOD DARNER. The last new feminine occupation, just establishing itself in New York this spring, is that of a neighborhood darner. In one family that I know, punctually every Wednesday comes an ingenious little body, who, comfortably settled with a cup of coffee in a back room, sets to work on the havoc that, three riotous youngsters and an impatient man have wrought. This men der has a clientele of from a dozen to twenty households to which she gives from a day to an hour or two each every week. Very con venient they find her for the ripping and cleaning of old gowns and the darning of hos<- and other domestic duties for which in the bustle and hurrv of Vanity Fair they never Hud time. Her engagements are sys tematized and she never goc> without work and more or less good pay. Watching .he cheery dame over her task, it does one good to sts- the new system gaining foothold and to think what a relief in the long run it may very likely ~rovo to the overtaxed American housekeeper. There are menders who are handy at lace and the daintier sorts of needlework, and if the trade becomes a recognized one it will earn a good many pennies for women forced to turn bread ami butter winneif-.
