SERMON IN RHYME ON STONE THROWING.
• love my child," the actress wrote;
" My duty is to guide
The child I bore, and in my arms
The child I Jove shall hide—
Shall bide from missiles cast at me,
Because I have so odd
A conscience that I choose to rear
The child I took from God."
There is a siu from which us all
May gracious heaven guard,
That is its own worst punishment, `
Itself its sole reward.
And of it social law has said
To man: " If sin you must,
Go, then! and come again; but leave
The woman in the dust!"
Ah! who can know, save Him AlIwise,
Who watches from above,
The awful hazard women dare
To run for men they love,
Or tell how many a craven heart,
To shield his own bad name,
Has ceased a woman's trustful love
To bring her lasting shame?
To her who, when the dream has passed,
Finds herself left alone,
And in her crushed, repentant heart
A yearning to atone.
Heaven, more pitiful than man -
Who erst upon her smiled,
By love to win her to itself
- May send a little child.
Then, if the lonely mother's heart
Accepts the gracious gift,
And if the charge she dared to take
She does not dare to shift ;
Shall we, untempted and untried,
' To ease and virtue bore,
Visit upon her shrinking head
Our unrelenting scorn ?
•
We, who have all our lives been taught
-
Truths other nien have learned,
And walked by what celestial light
In other b 080Ins burneii;
We, whose sublimest duty is
To do as we are bid;
How shall we judge a. soul from which
The face of God is bid-?
Know you the loneliness of heart
'Phat courts release from death?
That makesit burdensome to draw
Each slow suceessive breath ?
That longs for human sympathy,
- - lost,
A rosette from its agony -
It buys at any cost ?
•
Of erring human nature, we .
Are, born, ea.ch with hissharel
We Elie all wail, we are all weak,
• And quick folly from cafe
Anil if we keep our footing, .
. Or seem to rise_at all,.

WHAT ENGLISH LADIES WEAR
Chanspagne-Colored Jackets and Baby
. Velvet Dresses.
I noticed an entire costume of mulberry -
colored plush, relieved by cream -colored
chrysanthemums in the bonnet and cream -
colored lace and flowers on the muff. All

more clever. Whichever it may be, the
result is decidedly good. A champagne -
colored velvet jacket made a, sensation,
dividing the interest of the fairer portion
of the assemblage with "Mies Kate,"
simultaneously with whose rather unex-
pected triumph the jacket appeared on the
scene. It fitted very tightly, and was edged
with sable, the dress and bonnet being of
dark brown velvet. Ruby velvet appears
to be a favorite .stuff for dresses this win-
ter. There were several on thelawn, one
of them being thickly trimmed with gold
braid and gold cord. Such a dress would
have been too much for most women, but
it suited the tall, -handsome, brown -haired
girl who had ventured upon it. But why
sapphire, earrings? Small as they were,
• they were a great mistake. I noticed a
greater quantity of "gems" than good taste
usually .permits with afternoon toilets. I
concluded that the fair wearers had been
reeding " Endymion." A dainty little lady
distinguished herself in the chiffon line by
wearing a bonnet and muff both entirely:
composed of pink and dark -red chrysanthe-
mtims. The effect was pretty and festive,'
though not exactly warm or comfort -suggest -
hag. It is a fact that a majority of the lorig
brocaded velvet coats now worn have to be
unbottoncel before etc wearer can eit
down? The buttons are so numerous that
this must litiVe its disadvantages. . The
prettiest dress, to my thinking, was en-
tirely of blaek. Velvest and plush appeared
to - be the principal • ingredients, with
showers of jet and chenille- fringe, The
short coat, cut like& man's, and fitting to
perfection, had large blaek velvet flowers
raised on a -ground of Whitesatin, and
White Christnaite roses were in. the little
_blit4 Velvet or plush bonnet. Ladies will
be glad to:hear that "fluttered frog" is the
: name of the last new-coler ; it is rather
tighter than "frightened: toad 1..'. Or -"angry.
