Against the Baioy Day. The newspaper reader often uomes across mention of the fact that the children of this and tbat king of some foreign country are histmcted in a trade, whether the object of tiie instruction be to bring them into closer sympathy with the people whom they rule, and ^many of whom work at trades, or wbedier, kingcrKft failing, they may have handicraft to fall back upon for support In ease of revolutionary accident, not being atated. Of late years also, we have all heard of the bold step taken by the wife of ene of the princely Napolepns In opening a millinery shop, the impoverished daughter- in-law of an English duke being said to have followed her example, and most of us think- ing it was very lucky for them tbat they knew how to do it white it was not at all an uncommon surmise in the. days of the Second Empire that the beautiful Eugenie might yet have an oppotunity to turn her wondenul dresB-maklDg talent to account. Bat the affairs of life are no more preca- rious for princes than for common people, and if a prince may lose bis crown and throne and jewels and civil list, a merchant prince may lose his ships and cargoes and ingots, and those who are less than mer- chant princes can just as easily come to grief in tbe matter of their own small bank aeoount. Owing to the character of the laws of entail in this country, a fortune, it has long been a saying, ceases to exist after the third generation so that no matter how wealthy you are, your grandchild is quite capable of "going upon the town," in all the great generality of cases and although that is presenting the matter rather strong- Ij, still tbe grandchild is in some danger of coming to the point of being too proud to do aught but suffer and starve in silent seclu- tion. For habits of expenditure engender- ed in the children of the rich do not go hand in hand with habits of accumulation, and after the second generation it is apt to be all outgo and no income, although of course this is not invariable. In Europe, with the thrones and the or- ders of nobility standing on a volcano's crust, as their enemies claim, there is no ab- solute security or stability of inheritance. In this country the chances for irregular money-makini; are so many, the speculative opportunities are so tempting, that the cool- est hand is liable at any time to do the rash thing, and not even the man whose fortune is in trust is altogether sure of it. How much less, then, the woman Women, it is true, are learning more and more of the management of business, of book-keeping, banking, buying and selling, of bonds, stocks, mortgages, and the rest, and are getting, as a whole, better and bet- ter able to take care of their own affairs, al- though there will probably always be a few helpless ones who had rather be taken care of and who do not choose to learn. Women, also, are proverbially more conservative than men, and it-is less likely than it used to be that their fortunes, where they have them, will become lessened when m their own hands. Still, accidents and misfortunes can- not be kept away from everybody forever and although the case of one's homestead being swallowed by aa earthquake, leaving one landless, is not a frequent one, losses are not impossible that are every bit as absurdly chimerical in idea aa ttiat and it is not the pturt of imprudence to provide against the mjury which might result from them. ilowever thriving and " well off," then, a man and his wife may be, they do their children a positive wrong m failing to do them a positive good and providing them with a means of taking care of themselves should thieves break in and steal or moth and rust corrupt their treasures. For the son there are more means at hand of taking this care than for the daughter, more ways marked [out, more trades and there is al- ways the healthy and natural occupation of earing for the land, into which he can ||be initiated early and most unconsciously. But still there are a great many clean and whole- some and pleasant trades left for the girl, which she may be taught and with whose practice she may be made familiar, even if she really never had to touch them after- ward in the whole course of her life. Not to speak of stenography and type- writing, which, until the time when they shall be made parts of universal education, will af- ford means of obtaining a livelihood, there are various house-keeping, flower-raising, seed-raising, bee-raising, and kindred indus- tries, all of which may upon need be found far more profitable than the music lessons and wUdnower painting on which so many of our young ladies rely for eking out their incomes, and beyond these there are always the industries of the needle in dress-making and bonnet- making and the like. Every girl who has the least art of trick- ing herself out with ribbons and finery can use her art advantageously in making and trimming hats, and the more ideal she may huppen to be in other ways, the more fanci- ful and "takinif" will her bonnets be and the girl who has an eye for form, and any dexterity of finger, will make of herself a mantna-maker of more or less merit, but equal to a livelihood on necessity, with, moreover, the advantage of being able to instruct and direct her own dress-mi^er if she never have to use otherwise the art she has learned. However wealthy, however finely educated the young girl may be, she will find it surely accruing to her comfort and good in the future if her friends have fit to give her, in addition to all else thay may have given, a trade, or something umrering to a trade, with which she can earn her uving in case of need, whether the need ever come or not. wluoh makea snitaUr oRuunental or uasfol article for bedromns or boodoin.

The setting of silver, which is the fashion now, even with rare jewels, is quite the most elegant and rare, but some precious stones are very stylish when in this setting. The Indian cutlery with handles of fancy china is very attractive^ and is after all more useful thui ivoiy handles, for those spot and iqwil with ust, in a very short time. The pretty mode of having the card-case and pocketbook to match is new here, and the ornaments of silver render them rather an expensive but very acceptable gift. Those pretty silken chains of Japanese make are very stylish when used to keep the lorgnette from being lost. The chains go around the wearer's neck and well down to the waist. It is not easy to tell the difference be- tween some of the new paste diamond shoe buckles or hair ornaments and the real gems, BO beautiful are they and so fine in their workmanship. Lemon color with white is one of the prettiest combinations in both bed sets and table service in drapery and is little newer 1 ban oran?e and white, which was liked so long. A new nee is found for large antique shoe buckles and young ladies who can fortun- ately command a couple of these heirlooms, wear them at the throat and belt of the Fed- eral vests. Silver platters and little dishes of all sorts are very stylish and make a charmint; show on tho dinner or lunch table. Wedding or holiday gifts may be of the attractive and elaborate sort. The Woman in Black- There have been frequent notices in the papers of late commending the action of Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher in rejecting the traditionary garb of moumine upon the death of her distinguished husband. It will be remembered that when Mr. Beecher died a wreath of white flowers took the accustom- ed place of the crape on the door. This in- novation was supplemented by Mrs. Beech- er's refusal to wear black. Her loyalty to the memory of her husband is none the less that she appear in the colors that he loved and approved. Neither as wife nor widow has Mrs. Beecher ever appeared as a high priestess of fashion. If other women would join her in this work of refoim it would be an admirable innovation, since there are thousands of families in oUr immediate knowledge who are shrouded while living in the habUiments of grief, and keep their dead always with thsm, not as a blessed memory, but as a ghastly show. The writer of this article began life in black at the tender age of 5 put into " deep mourning" by the death of a dear grand- mother who named me in her will at 7 tak^ en out of a pink frock and at once plunged into the black trapping of a grief I could not feel for a baby brother who was carried into the grave by six youths in long weepers. I can remember, mite as I was, that I carried my first parasol, an ugly black thing that shut out the sun like a great blot. I was very proud of it and kept my conscience in an uproar by wondering if it was wicked to be glad I had it. At 10 a grandfather! had never seen died and I was again fitted out with new black and tried to feel unhappj At 12, his wife, my grandmother, died. I had seen her and retained a lively remem- brance of the time she cuffed my ears. No doubt I deserved it, but children are not grateful for such favors. I wore black for her, but I was away at school and was rath- er a small heroine among the Academy girls on account of my "afiliction," which con- sisted mostly in a stack of new clothes made with an allowance for growth. At 16 1 went into "second mourning," as the eldest of the family, for an aunt I had never seen. For a few years I revelled in the colors I loveâ€" I often think I inherited it from my barbarian ancestors â€" and then I put on black for tfte last time. I grew tired of changing my wardrobe and so adopted black as a uni- form for the reason that I had not the moral courage to be the first of my tribe to ignore the tradition of mourning. And it is out of my experience that I would counsel other women never to adopt the insignia of grief or wear it on their sleeves for the daws to peck at. Immediately after the war the woman in black was the most conspicuous object on the street. In deference to the sad custom established by death, all women were black. The counters of the dry goods stores were heaped with rolls of bUck alpaca. It was the refuge of the destitute. AU wome n were uniformly well dressed, for the goods sold in grades that placed it within the reach of every one. But there was not a bit of color to gladden the eye. Black, black, somber black everywhere; sorrow and depression in every household. Little children saw the faces of their mothers always behind a veil of crape. It made death seem a terrible thing. Then a reaction set in and a wave of color swept over the land. The blue of the sky, the green of the earth, the red of the sunset came back to us and shone forth with almost startling contrast to the funereal drapery of the woman in black. A few more prominent, earnest wbmen who would do as Mrs. Beecher has done, would establish the custom in disuse. " Why ghonld the children of a king Go mourning ail their days 7' Already fashion has decreed a substitute for crape, just aa black but less harmful it is called " Nun's veiling," and has none of the poisonous, depressing qualities of orape and it is much cheaperâ€" a blessing to the widows and orphans who, on limited in- comes, persist in wearing imlimited mourn- ing as a token of respect to their dead. A lady, well-known in this dty, and who possesses grrat beauty, came near losing her eye-sight and bong disfignrod for life, by peraistentiy weariag over her faoe a heavy veil of Uack crape. Phynoians have SMd that there is poison in the insidious fabric Whether aluon or physidogy has dcCTced that it should be worm thrown backâ€" If worn at allâ€" with a faoe mask ok dotted net, it will be equally beaeficial in its resnlta to women.

And it is hard to find a man who will dedaze himself in favor of wearing monming. " I don't want my family to go into black when I die, is a remark frequentiy heard from the head of the house. But his family do not desire to be considered penurious or heartiess in the event of his detth, and so his expressed wish is disobeyed. The depressing effect that the woman in black has on her family should also be taken into consideration. We have all seen a mother in weeds of woe sitting Sunday after Sunday in her pew at church, a living monu- ment to her husband's memory, shutting out the sunlight of resurrection from the little children at her side. The question to be decided is just this Is it anybody's business except our own whether we advertise our grief to the world by wearing.black, or kee^ it in the sanctuary of our hearts? TEE LIME-KILN CLUB. "In walkin' softly long de path of life dar' am sartin fings it would be well to re- member, "said Brother Gardner as the meet- ing opened. " Doan' judge of a man's beauty by his whiskers. He may grow 'em to conceal pimples an' scars. " Doan' judge of a woman's good natur' by her talk on a street kyar or the way she smiles in church. " One reason why our chlll'en get licked so often is because their parents happen to be de biggest. " It is only a fool who goes around lookin' fur a model man. A man widout faults would be too soft to stand dis climate. " While consistency should be respected in a gineral way, doan' hesitate to squirm out o any sort of a loop-hole when argyin' wid a lawyer. " About de time a man begins to assert dat dis world owes him a libin' ar' about de date when he should get his fust sentence to State Prison. " When you h'ar a pusson argfying dat dar' am no sich thing as f uchur' punishment you has lighted upon an ole sinner who ar' tryin' to lie to hisself " You compliment some men ' altogether too highly to call 'em a hog. I hev noticed dat no hog gets drunk except by accident. " While I admit dat George Washington was a great an' good man, I would not, if I was runnin' a co'ner grocery, trust any odder American on dat account. " De man who am alius ready to fight fur his convictions will fight on de wrong side at least half de time. " If it wasn't fur nayborhood gossip some chUl'en would go widout shoes, an' some mothers would put six mo' dollars into deir bonnets. " An egotistical pusson is simply a refleck- shun in Nature's lookin'-glass. " Dignity ar' de fence which sartin peo- ple build up to set de world from gittin' clus 'nuff to find out how bad dey really am." PASSED AWAT. The Secretary announced an ofiicial com- munication from Vicksburg announcing the death of CoL Whyfore Johnson, an honor- ary member in good standing. " While I has bin expectiu' it fur some time," observed the President, " it nebber- theless comes wid a shock. Da Kumell was an aiverage man. He'd steal a water- mellyon in summer, but divide up his wood- pile in winter. He'd giv up a lost wallet he had found, but cheat yon blind in a mule- trade.

Prof. Pardon Davis sent to the Secre- tary's desk a letter he had received from Springheel Smith, the colored poet of In- diana, offering to write a poem of forty verses for the club for the trifling sum of $10. He had written a poem and sent it on to Queen Victoria, and was now erecting one to send to the Emperor of Germany. Brother Davis said he didn't set himself up as a jodge of poetry, but it struck him that a shilling a verse for a poem was dog-cheap. Deacon Richard Black moved that the club accept the offer. Glae and India-rub- ber and sugar w«re going up in price, and the same poem might cost them $10 next summer. Stepback Dawson also favored the idea. Poems were like potatoesâ€" they should be laid in when the supply exceeded the de- mand. " We doan' want it I" bluntly replied Brother Gardner as Trustee Pnllback was about to arise. " I hev no doubt it would be fust class, an' we could probably use it as a lung-tester. But brudder Bebee ar' de reg'lar 'leckted poet of de club, an' he takes de keenest pleasure in supplyin' all our wants in dat direckshun. I happen to know dat he is now bnUdin' up a poem which is already twenty-six feet Ions an' not half done, an' it would be in bad taste to cut him off in his wild career. De moshun ar' de- dar'd outer order." THK WBONO MAN. The Secretary then read the following SsLMA, AiA., Febraary 28, 1888.

The letter was a thunder clap to the club, as according to a communication received last week from Brooklyn, one of the guilty wretches had been caught, made a oonfes- sion and been strung up to a limb. It was evident that a great mistake had been made, and after a brief confab with Sir Isaac Wal- pole the President said " We shall send a telegram to Selma to hold dese parties, as dar' kin be no doubt dey ar' de villains who robbed an' wrecked us. As fur de party who was lynched in Brooklyn, we ar' sorry dat eich a mistake was made, an' de club holds itself in readi- ness to contribute money 'nuff to buy him a tombstone â€" a cheap one. I reckon he was some pusson who nebber had $5 all at one time, an' a $10 gravestone will round him off in fust-class shape. HE WAS MAD. Ttie Secretary then announced the follow- ing, and while it was being read it took the united efforts of Elder Toots, Carbolic Davi- and Wudom Smith to hold the Rev. Pens stock down Wilmington, N.

When the reading was finished the men let go of Penstock, and he jumped three feet high and yelled out " Misser Cha'rman, I protest I" " Softly, Brudder Penstock," replied the President.
