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.
