In the Firelight.
The lire upon the hearth la low,
And there la stain era erarywhan:
Lire tronbled spirits, here and there
The firelight shadows flattering go.
And as the shadows aronnd me creep
A childish treble breaks the gloom.
And loltfy from a further room
Comes: "Now I lay mo down to sleep.'
And, somehow, with that little prayer
And that tweet treble In my earn,
My thought goes back to dlstantyt
And ilngera with a dear one there:
And as I hear the child’s amen.
My mother’s faith cornea back to me:
Oroucht d at her side I teem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh, for an hour In that dear ilaoe-
Ob, for the peace of thatdear time,
Ob. for that childish tmtt sublime.
Oh, for a glimpse of mother's face!
Yet, u the ahadowa ronnd me creeps
i do not teem to be alone—
» wm msale ot that treble tons
And "Now I lay me down to sleepl”
-Ingene Field In Chicago News.
The above little scrap of poetry brought to
mind a pretty scene that I witnessed in a
Sabbath school not long since. A minister
was talking to tbo children, and among other
things said: “Children, I want everyone of
yon that said yonr prayers last night to hold
np yonr hand.” Thero were immediately
several hundred little hands that went np,
ssd indeed all In that large audience of child
ren testified that the night before their sim
ple prayers had ascended to a throne ol grace.
I wondered how many had knelt at mother’s
kneo and repeated the simple words, “Now I
lay me down to sleep,” the first prayer ever
taught by a loving mother to her little ones,
and years may pass,and often after the golden
locks are silvered o’er, some little word or In
eldent may recall the scenes ol childhood,
and none ever comes before us so sweet as the
mother’s faithful efforts to lead the childish
heart to God. It Is often the cue that If even
a mother Is not a Christian herself she teaches
her children to pray. I once heard a gray,
haired man say that years had passed since
he knelt at his mother’s knee, but often in
fancy now he coaid feel the gentle preuure ot
her hand upon his head u he knelt to say his
evening prayer. The Impressions of our child
hood never leave us; they are first and mos
luting. Uemory loves beat to linger upon
our mother’s teaehlnga. Many years have
paesed since the mother I loved better than
my life has been laid away to rut; many
years since those loving oyes were “closed
beneath the soft gray hair,” but time nor eter
nity will ever efface the words of wisdom and
affection, or the prayers learned at my moth
er’s knee, and from many a careworn, weary
woman’s heart cornu up often the cry, “Make
me a child again lust for tonight.” And so,
as we recall the past with Its tweet influenou
and the loving words of counsel that have
i the guide and joy of our lives, let us
nber that in the future our children will
so think ofns, and It will give fresh Impetus
to our efforts to train their little foot in the
the right paths, and their hearts to all that is
pure and good, that when we have passed
away and our labors have ceased they may
rite up and call us blessed, and that their
“mother’s faith homes back” to them not only
to brighten fhelr pathway through life but to
lend its radiance even “through the valley ot
the shadow of death.”
Fashion letter.
During the pruent uuon shoulder oapes ol
velvet, plush or brocade are sufficiently warm
for promenade wear over the walking dreu ot
cloth, but the but dressed women that wear
the modest styles make them without the
raised shoulders, which, as far as fuhlon is
concerned, has entirely gone out. Bustlu
are decreulng in sfse. A small, rather high,
but narrow bustle is worn, vrhieh requires the
dreu to be cut three or four lnchu longer In
the back to allow for the rise. A very pretty
wonted suit was seen on a fashionably dressed
young lady. The underskirt was a dark navy
blue and the pclonalu was a lovely shade of
wood brown, trimmed with vut, collar and
culls of navy blue, hat of blue, with brown
trimmings. It wu a beautiful combination,
much prettier than the red and blue that hu
been to much worn. The popular jersey is
more popular than ever, and hu appeared In
a greater variety than heretofore. Some open
over triangular vuts, others with velvet vesta
of contrasting colors covered with a net of lrri-
descent beads, others are buttoned quite down
the frost, the vut of contrasting colors just
visible below the waist line, the postilion
buqueat the back showing the contrasting
color. Buttons are constantly inereuing in
tlse and cut. Pearl gray kid glovu with the
backs stitched with black silk, and tan color
ed glovu will be much worn during the early
autumn. Dreuu for evening and house wear
have panels made of loops of ribbon, one row
overlapping tho>other. Although the walking
skirls are plain, the bodlu are very much
trimmed. Cashmere and velvet dreu fronts
have suhu to correspond. A new and dressy
material la entirely covered with the clou set
rows of chenille-like plush of several tonu,
terra-cotta, mouse, etc. Homupun with
plush and honey comb stripes Is a beautiful
novelty. Poplins, euhmeru, etc., are made
with a round waist, simply trimmed with
surplice folds which crou each other at the
belt, are very much worn for young ladiu’
house dresses. The skirls are tucked and a
sash encirelu the waist and is tied to form the
only draping In the back. The sash may be
ol surah of the same shade, or be made ol the
dreu materiel, finished all around with a deep
hem. The polonaise Is coming Into general
faver,the redingote form showing wide, flat
panels and opening over a front breadth,
which either bangs loosely over the foundation
skirt or is let into it, being the popular form.
There Is a good deal uid about homupun.
There Is a description given in one of the
fashion papers or a dreu made of brown home
spun, the front and panels of woolen brocade.
The front drapery fa arrangel scarf fashion,
and the back drapery Is half brocade and half
homespun. The jacket bodice opens over a
vest of the brocade and the sleevu hare wide
culls of it. High collars with slid lining are
sun on all woolen eostumu; linen collars or
folds are worn with them. In some of the
dressuonly a fold of white canvas is put in
the neck and brought as tight around the
neck aa possible. English tailor-made suites
have-panels and bindings of fur. 8oms New
York papers say there Is no fear that long
eloaks, which “cover one all over,” will ever
go cut of fuhion. At tbo same time, for those
who have handsome dresses to expose, there
are a variety ol wraps. There is a new shape
that is much of a favorite—a wrap with long
fronts and visile back. It shorn all the baek
drapery of the drus and obviatu the danger
of crushing an elegant oloak by sitting upon
it. The great popularity for rough goods for
dreesu hu extended to wraps, and they are
made of rapgh cloths and shaggy cloths like
a bone blanket. Handsome wraps for full
drsu are ia velvet, brocade,in silks and wools.
Chenille fringu and bands,marabou feathen,
ostrich tips, and above all, for, are the trim
mings. The latest style in beads are called
rosary beads; rather large tlse wooden beads.
They are used very muobin trimmings; also
wrought into exquisite embroidery with can
vas appliques and silken and silver cords,
which form some of the handsomut Imported
wraps. They also appear on the crowns of
bonnets and fancy scarfs. As this sums to be,
a winter where woolen goods are more worn
then ever, it it very noticeablo even in milli
nery ; Indeed, it teems to predominate. Hand
tome cloth crowns are shown in colors to
match the prevailing dross goods; indeed,
whole bonnets sre made of the samo material
u the wrap or dreu. But I have already
made my letter too long and will dose.
Bow to Make a Bustle.
The lisbtett buttle, and the one giving the best
effect to the banting of the skirts,Is made ot mus
lin and the flat dress steels, with a hole Id each
end throuth which to secure them. The steels
can be found at the notion counters of any ol the
large shops. To make a bustle, three ol the long
ours and one of the shorter are required. Takes
tingle width ol white muslin, or, II preferred,
gray dreu lining. Cut It oil tlx Inches shorter
than the skirts. Stitch a hem an Inch wide In
the bottom and make three tucks the tame width
at regular Intervals In the length ol the cloth.
Stitch the tucks on both edges so that they will bo
flat Insert the steels, putting tbeshortest one at
the top. Secure them and sow tape to each one,
tying the bustle Into shape. Flalt the top into
thewldtb required for the back and put a narrow
band or tape around It long enough to fasten in
front Sew lengths ol tape on the second steel
from the bottom and theaeeond from the the top
of sufficient length to tie around the skirts. This
will prevent the bustle from “flopping" from tide
to side A buttle made like this will never got
crooked endmake the wearer look aa If one side
was developed on a larger plan than the other. It
Is more comfortable than a halicloth bustle an-*
Ins expensive. The entire coat of the materia
will not exceed forty cents.
llio Latest Style In Ladles’ Hand Bags.
The newest tgooy in cloth bags, which no
young ltdy who values her status In society would
think ol belngwithont. It a doable end conoern,
arranged after the model of the pretty, but Incon
venient purses of our grandmothers. The new
hsg It In reality a rcarl ot soft doth, doubled,
stitched at both ends, with the mouth In the cen
ter, and rings ol Ivory, bone, brass or ebony slid
ing at will. The embroidery upon each end ol
the purse bag is ol the most extravagant variety,
embracing designs with monograms worked fu
rnstresiii-grawsUkt. The proper way to carry
these bags fa to throw them over the left thonldei
suspended from the center. Young women carry
their nsndkcichlcrs and letters, lunches and
small purchases in these convenient receptacles.
Novelties.
The new cloaking brocades are superb creations
m plush and velvet, cut and uncut, often In hall
a doten different lengths of pile, like a Chinese
carving ol a rare cameo. Wood or rosary beads
aretbe great novelty In trimming, and are used
boib for embroidery sad to tip fringes, etc. Small
Things Worth Knowing.
An excellent cold cream can be made by molt
ing together four ounoes almond oil, two ounces
of mutton suet and a hall ounce of spermaceti;
strain and add a few drops of perfume: stir It
unlll cold.
An excellent way to remove dandruff from the
head, which Is sometimes very troublesome, Is to
waeh the head In camphor and borax-an ounce
I each put Into a pint and a hall of cold water
Qd alterwards rub a little pure oil Into the scalp.
To glese a shirt front, melt together with a gen
tle heat one ounce whlto wax and two ounces of
spermaceti: prepare In the usnal way a sufficient
quantity ol starch for a dozen bosoms; put Into
It a piece of enamel the also of a hazelnut; this
will give clothes a beautiful polish.
To prevent the face from chapping In winter,
have mixed In a two ounce bottle one ounce of
bey rum and one ounce ol glycerine and four
retiring.
To lake scorch out ol dother, put the article
where bright sunshine will fall on It; peel and
slice two onions, extract the Juice: cut up hall
ounce ol fine white soap and add to Juice; two
ounces ol fuller’s earth and a half pint, ol vine

scorched clothing ana let remain until dry; then
wash and boll out the articles and the scorch will

Midden In tho Snow.
From Wide Awake.
The wlnten In Germany are muck more severe
than In England, and tho story I om going to toll
happenedaome Umo ago, dnrlog o winter ol on-
usual it verity In that country. I spent the greater
peri ol that wlntar living on an Island In tho river
Bblno. Tho Island ta callof Oborworth. I that the
city Oicoblena near It on one bank ol the river,
while on the other the heights an crowned by tho
greed old castle ol Ehronbreltiteln. Tbo only
habitations on tho blond ore one largo home mud
three or four cottages. At the homo lived a Ger
man lady who owned tho bland, and with whom
I wu staying ot tho time I speak of. Tho priori-
y si cottage was oocopbd by a ferryman, who fer
ried Uo people to end fro between tho Island and
tho shore; the otht rs wore inhabited by the tarn-
Hire ol laborers employed lathe cultivation ol
the Island
In summer, Obtrwoilhltsell and oil the oar
rounding sconery aro most plctnresqne and love-
lovofy. Even daring that cold winter there wu
bcanty ol a certain kind, Hugo blocks ol Ice
ctmo floating down with tho stream on ono aide
ol tholaland; while on the other side, whore tho
river b tho narrowest, tho water wu completely
frozen over end thero was skating going on
However, it b not with tho river that my story
has to do,but with oome ol tho children that lived
upon the blind. They wore the son end daugh
ter ol Benard, the ferryman, I should say one
wai about olx, the othersoven ycara ot agot and
their names were Herman and Anna. Ono hitter
morning In January I mot thom-a Joyoni llttlo
couple-trudging merrily through the fast falling
•now to school. They eonld crou to tho main
land on tho Ice then. Booh a llttlo man and wo
man they looked laden wlihtholr books and
■bteil and Herman, besides, carrying tbo largo
umbrella whloh aholtercd tbcm both from tho
blinding flakes ol snow. I asked them whore
they wore going.
"To school," they oni*erod both together with
a merry langh.
"You seem very cheerful about It,” I said.
"Ob, but we are so happy," cried Anna, "bo-
came today wo have a <-Mf holiday and tbo Graf-
Inobistoldnswoma; "k some of our school
follows on to tbo Itlsn- U It leaves off snowing.
And wo are to havo games and play at snow ball
ing and inn about tnd get as warm as we csn,and
alterwards we are all to have supper In tbo kltch-
cn at the home."
"Well, I hope It will lesvo off snowing," said I,
and so we parted.
Intheaitemoon.auro enough, tho snow coated
aud the sun como out Billing lu tho house I
could hear the merry shouts o! my little friends
end other children romping tnd playing In the
grounds outside. Afterwards t went, with my
bostess.lnto tho greet l lichen and saw them loan-
leg— u merry a set ol children as were over soon,
Supper over, they went ont Into tho gsiden ones
more to have ogams it hide and seek among tho
trees and buaheo bcloro It becamoqulto dark,
Tho night wu Jnat closing In and snow wu
tailing heavily again, when Bernard, tho ferry
man,came up to the house uklng eagerly for help
tosearehlorhlachlldron. Thouoor man know

ing dusk, snow wta begin, mg to fall and thoy
Oared not extend their Kerenbeyond the garden.
One ol them ran to tho cotuge ol Bornard and
brought him out He uld he had looked about,
calling bis children by nime,hallowing and using
hta whistle, whoso sound they snow so well, but
no isiwcrioi cry came And ho wai In despair.
The mistress of the Island Immediately ordered
All the men About the house to go out with hm*

half the iiland. It U not largo-only about a rnilo I

that for some time he had mado him tbo compan

bto Italy he leit Kelpie with me at Oberwerth.
1 Immediately called Kelpie to mo, and leading
him through the garden to the ground beyond,
pointed forward, saying, "Seek, Kolple, aeoki"
My doggie seemed to understand exactly; Ue pat
his who old marzlo near tho ground and went
inlflllng about in all directions. In a very fowl
