A ^r T was a cold March evening, and the setting sun threw O T O its :3ood of gold over the I f* great town, glorifying even "WOJf the dusky mills and fac. tories which usually looked *o black and dreary. At the window of a dingy little garret, looking toward ithe glowing west, crouched a child, iwatching the river as it sparkled and quivered where the golden arrows struck it, and looking at the great rosy column of smoke that rose to the sky, making one think of the pillar of fire /which Jehovah once 6ent to be the guard and guide of His people. She ,was a. queer, elfish-looking little crea/ture, sadly crooked and misshapen, / and a roughly carved crutch which lay / near told that she was lame, too. She took her crutch and crept slowly Bown the old stairs, w^ich shook and creaked most dismally at every step. iWhen she reached the front door ahe Btood looking at the lamps as they (were lighted one by one, and at the people as they moved quickly to and Jro. Suddenly, just as the stars began (to tremble out into the darkened sky, a deep-toned church bell commenced to ring slowly out on the evening air; an- other chimed in and still others, till 8t seeihed as if all the bells in the icity -were ringing together; and to little Nannie Burke it sounded as though they were calling, crying out eome solemn message, which she could not understand. An awkward, honestlooking boy hurried past her, toward the better part of the town, where the broad streets and handsome houses rwere, going in such haste that he did not notice the little figure on the steps,. frill Rh#> ^allpH nnt* I "Diet! I say, Dick Townsend, what are the bells ringing for? 'Tisn't Sunday." "Why, it's for the League," answered ithe boy: "they're to have a prayer meeting for them in all the churches, (while they're going around." "What's the League?" asked the tehild, wonderingly. "Well. now. you are green," said Dick, with a look of compassionate superiority; "why. where have you been for this week and more?" "My leg's been worse than common, and I have had to stay in the room all the time," said Nannie; "but please, Dick, what is it?" "Why," said Dick, "it's the ladies fwho are joined together into what they call a Temperance League, and they are going around to get folks to sign a pledge that they won't drink any more; and then they are trying to make the saloonkeepers shut up, and promise never to sell any more whisky, never, never!" "O Dick!" cried- the girl, while her Igreat eyes glowed and flashed; "and do they really do it?" "Do it!" said Dick; "well. I should rather think they did. Why, those iwomen go to them ani sing and pray nntil they .iust can't stand it. What do you think. Nan! I saw that old fat iKeyser, who kept a saloon on Broad street, sobbing like a baby yesterday, and he knocked out the heads of his old barrels till the whisky and beer poured down the gutters like dirty water. Father signed a pledge that Mrs. Dr. Graham took down to the I mil], and, Nan. lie s come nome souer jpver since, and that's four days." "Dick." said Nannie, while her voice quivered with eagerness, "has Ben (Brannan shut up?" "No." said the boy; "everybody else fcas given in but him and two fellows on Market street, and they're hoping to bring them to-night; so I must hurry, for I want to b^ in when it (happens." ******* 'At last they reached the establishment whose proprietor had so persistiently refused to yield. The saloon was brilliantly ligbted-and Brannan himself etood in the door. As the ladies caused, he spoke to them very politely, Iaiid they commenced their meeting. It continued a half hour, and in the interval between a prayer and hymn, he told them that he had listened to them .very patiently, and now thought it only civil that they should bear what he had to say. Brannan began by complimenting their music, telling them how much he and his customers had enjoyed it: he said he hoped that it had amused them to come there day after day. and that lie had no objection to their doing so for a few days, but that it was now assuming the shape of a nuisance, and. if they did not discontinue their visits, he would appeal to the law. He said he had as good a right to make a living for his family as any man in the city, and if he chose to do It by selling liquor, it was nooouy s >usines8. He closed by an emphatic declaration that he had never harmed my one by his saloon, and again told he ladies that if they annoyed him ,ny more he wwid h.\ye them areeted. Just then the great clock in the court hoiise struck 9. It was the hour foi closing their meetings, and, while Brannan and his party congratulated themselves on a victory, the wcmeD prepared, oh, so sadly, to go away. Thuir had liopn so strone. thev be lievtd tliat God would complete His wonderful work that night, and now they must go. leaving it unfinished. Suddenly they paused, for a childish voice, which had the depth of a woman's anguish, wailed out. "Ok. don't give it up, it's to save my father!" Then they parted right and left before the bent and twisted figure of Nannie Burke, who pressed to the f;ont of the crowd. As she stood there with her tattered shawl thrown off. the light from one of the colored lamps falling full on the poor, little form, on the floating hair and pale face with solemn eyes, there was something so weird and strange in her appearance that a hush fell upon that great multitude as though she were a messenger from the world of spirits. "Ben Brannan." she said, and the weak, little voice grew firm and stern as an accusing angel's. "My father, George Burke, is a kind and tender man when he lets whisky alone: he earns $2 a day, and you know that's enough to keep us well. We live jn a miserable little garret on Vine street; there is hardly enough fire to keep me from freezing sometimes, and I have had nothing to eat to-day but a piece of dry bread; the money that my father ought to spend on his home goes for whisky, which makes a brute of him; and yet you stand there, Ben Brannan. and say you do no harm! It is your whisky that made my father give me the kick down stairs that left me like this; it is that, that sends him home at night to beat me with that crutch till I cry out to God to let me die; it was your whisky that made him abuse mv mother till she died of a broken heart, and it was you that got him to break the promise he made at her grave that he'd meet her in Heaven. Ben Brannan!" cried the childish voice, breaking into wild sobs at Jast. "and oh. if your whisky kills him, body and soul, and he's parted from her forever and ever, will you dare to tell my mother, when you meet her at the judgment, that you never did her any harm?" The unnatural strength which had upheld the child gave way at last; she tottered and would have fallen, had not a tall, powerful looking man pushed hi!? way out from the saloon and caught her away from the kindly womanly hand stretched out for her. Holding the poor, brave little girl in his arms, while the great tears rolled over his rough face, he said: "It's all true, every word of it. I'm her father, poor lamb, and I've been just such a brute as she's told you. but I'm ready to sign your pledges tonight, ladies, and by the help of God I'll try to keep it. And now, Ben," turning toward him as he spoke, "for the sake of poor fellows like me who are so easily tempted: for the sake of their wives and children: for the sake of your own wife and baby, who is no brighter or prettier than my Nannie was once. I ask you to give up this miserable business." Brannan bad grown very pale while Nannie and her father were speaking; his pretty little wife- was sobbing bitterly as she clung to his arm. and the sweet, innocent face of his baby girl looked wonderingly up into his. There was a fearful struggle in the man's soul; how could he yield, when he had boasted that he never would? But then, how could he continue to sell the maddening poison which could make a man crush and mangle the delicate form of his own child? Then as the idea which Nannie bad suggested came back to him, and he thought of the possibility of such women as poor Mary Burke requiring their husbands' blood at bis bands, be hesitated no longer. "I'll give in." be said, huskily. "I thought I could hold out against an angel from Heaven, but I couldn't stand that poor lame child." Then Nannie was caressed and cried over in a way that would have surprised her, if she had not been so won- i derfully happy; at last the crowd dispersed, the'child kissed Mrs. Brannan and fbe baby, and shook hands with Ben. and then, muffled in a great, soft shawl which one of the ladies had wrapped around her, she was carried home by her father, whom she had I won back to the right way. while faith- i fill Dick Townsend trotted close behind them, saying at intervals, "O. Nan, ain't you glad you went?" And the solemn stars, which, three weeks before, had shone upon almost a hundred saloons, large and small, looked down tbat night to see the last one closed and victory complete.?Waverley Magazine. Goats. j H. (1. Stephens, of the St. Charles I-Iotel. has long been interested in goats and is regarded as an authority on j ihsit bumble animal. "Few people | know the many admirable qualities of the goat," he said. "Goats* are the only animals that will boldly face a tire, and they are often kept in stables for the sole purpose of leading horses from the stalls in case of a conflagra- j tion. Horses, you know, will burn to death before moving from the flames unless some other animal leads them out. Goats can foretell stormy weather and invariably find shelter before a storm arrives. Even in domesticated life the goat loves to clamber about on dizzy heights and will generally be found on a crag of rock, or if that is not available, 011 the roof of a barn, or the top of a barrel. The most valuable variety of goat is the Cashmir, whose soft, silky hair furnishes material for expensive fabrics. The Cashmir is a native of Thibet, but the shawls are made in France, Germany and. in later years, in the United States. To make a single shawl a yard and a half square, at least ten roats are robbed of their coats. "I now have a pet goat nearly twenty years old. She is almost as intelligent as a human being and knows a lot of tricks, and is so strong that I can ride her with ease.

This q model is made of royal blue broadcloth with cuffs of velvet and trimming of Persian lamb braid and makes part of a costume, but the coat suits the t odd wrap equally well. The coat consists of blouse and skirt portions, which are tucked on continuous line. The blouse is fitted by . means of shoulder and under arm . seams. When the cape is used it is arranged over the shoulders with its edges beneath the outermost tucks. The sleeves are tuckcd above the elbows, form full puffs below and are I cViinori cuff's The skirt. ^ | UIJJMJCU ?Jiii _ or tunic, is tucked, fitted over the \ hips by means of darts and joined to 0 the blouse beneath the belt.

Fashionable persons are wearing two e sorts of velvet at night. One is of D heavy quality and is the old silk vel- c vet. an emblem of luxury in the past, t: I But these thick velvets are used most- <3 ly by women of age, since no young- a A Late Design b er womr.n wants to. lie bothered with a the weighty folds. At a dance one of * these handsome velvets is impossible. I yfinger women are wearing the light 1 velvet, and that is a novelty. These c velvets are not of greater weight than s taffeta, and have all the sheen and lus- s <re of the thick velvets. The new vel- s vet is the handsomest fabric on the 1 market and needs little or no trimming. j1 In the shops these light velvets are * sold from $3 to $S a yard. Velvets are s in great demaud for evening wear, and silks are decreasing in favor. a Lace Requirement!*. ^ The most admired real laces for deep s collars, handkerchiefs, neckbands, with s tab ends, ?r a stole finish,- are Vene- t tian laces, Duchesse, and Duchesse t with Brussels point, and Brussels c point de gaze, as well as point de Vin- s ise. Real laces of this day are very s npt to be mixed in style, as Brussels I point with Duchesse. Milanese, Mechlin and Maltese laces represent an in- f dividual choice more particularly, t There is something beautiful and dain- c ty about real Milanese lace, its close designs suggesting point de Venise. hAt?fhop /?n11nroffnc o rt r? tha I i' JUUI1V.CC, uumuo, VVHUI vnvo I?uu w?v different styles of neckband laces must be real now to be the correct tiling. Kabric HatP. Fabric bat*, which came into TOgue witb tbe embroidered muslin hats of the summer, are still in high favor for girls. These are made of cloth or changeable glace silk, witb picturesque flappy brims, and rosettes ns the trimming feature. A curtain ruffle on the edge of the brim is an attraci tive and childish touch that gives de| cided chic. Ermine in Shades. Ermine with a slightly yellow tinge is much sought after, and takes its place with old lace, as it is bo far only time that has been found to soften the t dead white. This ivory shade remains ii after cleaning, and one of the best t dressed women has had a, childhoqd's t j ippet of ermine combined with chinhilla, with excellent effect. New Drees Hate. Some of the new dress bats are very retty. These are made with crown nd wide rim of Irish lace, the edge f the crown and the edge of the rim f tulle. On one of the hats are pariculrtrly attractive flowers, big, pink ipped white lilies. On another are link poppies, and the familiar orchid s to be seen on others. Etamine and Voile*. Etamines and voiles are no longer onfined to wools, but are plentiful mong the cottons and linens. Among he linens are etamines in plain, mixed md boucle effects. As yet these are nainly old blue, old red or gray greens . nixed with white. A cotton voile has ' i chine surface mingling soft pink, ilue and cream. The Bridal Gown. While -white satin stiii remains a avorite for wedding gowns, many , >ridal gowns are being made of fine 1 vhite cloth, adorned with chiffon or ace.
