1878. SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY. 1875
We invite the attention of the public to Scum-
NER'S MONTHLY, which now deservedly ranks
among the BEST ILLUSTRATED PERIODI
CALS OF THE WORLD.
The papers illustrative of American Scenery
which have appeared in its pages, among which
were included "The Wanders of the Yellowstone"
and the "Grand Canon of the Colorado," have won
wide-spread admiration on both sides of the At
lantic; and "The Great South" articles, with their
beautiful engravings, have been re-issued in book
form in both Great Britain and America. For the
coming year we have broader plans than ever before.
The magazine will be enlarged, and there will be
Three Remarkable Serial Stories by American
"GABRIEL CONROY," BY BRET
Of which the Boston Post says: "It is a serial
that will make every new number of Scribner'e
eagerly sought for, if it had nothing else to
recommend it "
The The Canadian Illustrated News predicts
that "we have found at last the American novel."
The Louisville Courier Journal says: "The
second installment is even stronger than the first,
justl:fying all that was looked j'or."
We begin in January
"PHILIP NOLAN'S FRIENDS,"
BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE,
This is an historical romance. The scene is
laid in the South-west, at a time when that terri
tory was first Spanizh, then French, and then
American, and when war was ernminent, to obtain
the control of the mouth of the Mississippi. It is
likely to be the great romance of the Mississippi
Valley, as GABRIEL CONROY will be of the Pacific
Slope.
"THAT LASS 0' LOWRY'S,"
BY FANNY lIODGSON BURNETT,
The friends of ",S'erihner" who have read "Sur
ly Tim's Trouble," "One Day at Arle." "The Fire
at Brantley Mills," and others of Mrs. Burnett's
short stories, will not need to be assured that they
have a rare treat before them. The scene of the
new novel is laid in an English mining town, and
from the first page to the last tae interest is un
flagging. _
Along other notable papers we mention the
following: A SECOND"FA RMER'S VACATION,"
by CoLliEottnu E. WARING, descriptive of a row
boat ride of two hundred and fifty miles, in one of
the most fertile and interesting of the vine-grow
ing valleys of Europe—a region never seen by the
ordinary traveler, but full of interest, in its social
and industrial aspects. A rare collection of REV
OLUTIONARY LETTERS. A SERIES OF IL
LUSTRATED ARTICLES ON AMERICAN COL
LEGES. The Series includes William and Mary,
Harvard, Yale, Michigan Stare University, Wes
leyan University, Amherst Agricultural College,
Princeton, Union, Bowdon!, Trinity, and other
typical institutions of the country. Elegantly il
lustrated articles on OLD NEW YORK,illustrated
papers on AMERICAN CITIES, &c.
The editorial control and direction of the Maga
will remain in the hands of Dr. HoLLAND, who
will contribute each month editorials upon current
political and social topics. Our readers may look
to "TOPICS OF THE TIME" for healthy opinion;
"THE OLD CABINET" for pure sentiment;
"HOME AND SOCIETY" for graceful economy;
"CULTURE AND PROGRESS" for criticism;
" THE WORLD'S WORK" for industrial intelli
gence; "BRIC-A-BRAC" for wit and innocent
pleasantry.
Scribner's Monthly is now recognized, both in
this country and in England, as the great repre
sentative American Magazine.
Encouraged by the favor accorded to it by a
generous public, we shall aim, during the Centen
nial year, to eclipse its former achievements in
both its Literary and Art departments.

For the Jou
A Criticism
BY A. DIGGII PLIULF;
A Fucculent communication,
Entitled to deep veneration,
Excited profound admiration
Whilst reading the JOUBNA L last night.
The author prefers female teachers;
I know they are praiseworthy creatures,
But that's not the prominent feature
That graced his epishle so bright.
The ladies excel, says the writer,
In intellect mostly they're ',right,
We stand as the hood to the mitre—
A clerical simile that—
Excepting myself and some others,
Perhaps one or two of my brothers,
All nursed by the wisest of mothers,
Who stand as the bee to the gnat.
Oh! had I the mind of "Observer"
To back my poetical fervor,
My country, oh ! would'nt I serve her,
My signature high I would grave;
But if I have wounded his feelings,
B,fore him consider me kneeling,
With tears down my countenance stealing,
The gentleman's pardon to crave.

BILL.
Aristocratic noses were turned up in dis•
gust. The broad piazza of the hotel in
the village of B. had perhaps never be
fore such a weight of annoyed humanity.
The proprietor had just informed his
guests that the members of a circus com
pany who were to perform in the neigh
borhood had telegraphed their intention
of putting up at our tavern. Within five
minutes of the receipt of this intelligence
almost every guest had received it as a
personal insult. This of course is not to
be wondered at : indeed it was a perfectly
natural result, and one which our host
should have been prepared for. The only
surprise I felt was that in this goodly
company there were to be found a few in
dividuals who.e noses remained level. and
who, notwithstanding their distinguished
descent ; did not appear to be in the least
disturbed by the unusual news. We were
sometimes compelled to look this fact
squarely in the files:. The accident of
aristocratic birth does not always insure
against plebeian proclivities. The minor
ity in this case, I observed, kept very
quiet. A wise course for minorities on
all occasion.
One little woman, who bad charmed us
all, even the folks with the sensitive ol
factories, came, dancing up to rue after the
party had dispersed, evidently imagining
that she had found a congenial spirit.
"I am so glad," she said; "won't it be
jolly ?"
"Hush !" I answered warningly. Don't
talk so loud.
"Oh ! they are all gone," she went on,
her pleasant eyes sparkling; and I do be
lieve I should like to shock 'em.
I kept to myself the fact th:it she had
already done so. Twice in my knowledge
she had threatened Mrs. Grundy with ver
tigo. Once she had been seen tying up a
finger on the head waiter. The poor fel
low had given himself a bad cut and nat
urally enough, perhaps, for one who didn't
know any better, had rushed to the per
son, whose sympathy and assistance he was
surest of. On another occasion she had
bounded into the dining room fresh front
a ramble in the woods, her hands full of
wild flowers for her table. After arrang
ing them nicely in a vase she actually se
lected some of the freshest of the blossoms,
and making a tasteful buttonhole bouquet
fastened it to the lapel of our waiter's
coat.
"There, Frank," she said, "this is what
I call a proper regard for the fitness of
things. Give me some soup quick, pl3ase
I am famished."
It was a little singular, perhaps, but
that colored man wore those flowe-s till
they withered and wasted,carefully putting
them in water every night.
But I must hurry on to The
circus company arrived, and of course
there was a great bustle. Moss of the
guests kept their own rooms. I thought
it would be pleasant to get a glimpse of
the horses and hear the music, so I did
not vacate my rocking chair on the piazza,
as perhaps, under the circumstances, it
was eminently proper I should do. My
only lady companion was the sweet and
incorrigible little Mrs. Van Arness, the
lady above mentioned. Trunks, portman
teaus and baggage of all description found
its way to the rooms set apart for our new
guests. Then followed the human freight;
by the way not half so frightful or so
coarse as our super sensitiveness had imag
ined. A man and a woman, looking very
much like other folks, walked into the
house, the woman with a young baby in
her arms, the man leading a young boy
apparently about three years of age. The
child's gait and manner gave evidence of
training for tha ring, even at that early
age. Five minutes later I looked up from
my book to Re Mrs. Van Arness a short
distance away from me talking very busily
with the same little fellow. His parents
were busy in their own room, and had not
probably noticed the child's absence.
"Come out here," said she at last, ac
tually takinc , her companion by the hand
and leading toward me, "and see this
lady. She likes little boys. I have heard
her say
"Oh, everybody likes little boys," he
answered naively; everybody likes me,"
and then after a moment added, but Bill
likes me better than anybody ?"
"Who is Bill ?" 1 inquired.
"What does Bill do ?" inquired my
friend, with keener intuition. The little
one stopped a moment, and then, as ifpos
sessed by an original idea, bounded off to
the iron chains that fenced the grounds
in front of the hotel. Once here he
stopped to assure himself that we were
looking, and then said : "This is what
Bill does."
In an instant he had turned two or three.
summersaults around the chain, and landed
gracefully on his feet in the middle of the
grass plot.
"That's no place to do it," he added
scornfully, as he returned to our side.
"Bill makes all the people clap their
hands and holler, hi ! hi! Oh ! you ought
to see Bill."
Just then a gray-coated, keen faced,
and good•natured looking young man came
quickly up the path. In an instant the
boy was off, saying joyfully; "Oh, there's
Bill 1" and in less time than it takes me
to write it Bill had him tight in his arms.
"Did you see that rough fellow kiss
that child?" said Mrs. Van Arness, as the
couple disappeared. Just then the most
pompous of our boarders sauntered out,
cigar between his fingers, and with a shrug
of his fat shoulders remarked :
"I wonder at you ladies. I have in
sisted on my wife keeping her room."
"Well ?" said my companion, striking an
attitude, and for the first time since my
acquaintance with her evidently losing her
temper, •that means that you think your
wife would be contaminated by contact
Nsiththese cirethi people ?"
'You are correct, as usual, Mrs. Van
Arness," he answered with impressiveness.
"Well, I like circus riders, she replied.
with a mischievous crease in the corners
of her pretty mouth ; "that is, if' they
have hearts I saw an Irishman. sir, a
day laborer, the other day, digging in the
streets, and I declare to you I wanted to
shake hands with him, A little girl al
most fell into a hole he was making, and
when he had not only prevented her, but
took her in his arms and hugged and kissed
her, I thought to myself that the sweet no
bility of that red-shirted son of Erin would
put to shame many a so-called aristocrat
in our so-called society."
"Well, I declare!" said the gentleman,
as my lady walked off. "Would yon be
lieve that a woman of her culturJ could
have such low taste ?
I believe I smiled and made no answer.
What use to fight these prejudices? About
as inucth as to try and destroy a stone wall
with a blow from one's head. Not long
after this I come across Mrs. Van Arness
in earnest conversation with Bill. I con
fess ti-at this slight annoyance was of short
duration fur she turned to me and said :
"I have just met that little buy in the
hall, and if I hadn't dashed some water in
his face I really belied he would have
choked to death; and I was asking his
friend some questions about him."
"And I was telling her," said Bill, re•
spectfully, with his hat in his hand, "that
last night he had the croup, and he don't
seem to have got over it; but lis's bright
as a dollar. The croup is generally pretty
hard, I've heard on a child of his build.
He'll get through his performance the first
of the evening, and his mother will send
him right down to the hotel; and I shall
be through in an hour after that. She
has to ride the last one."
"And what becomes of the baby?"
"That goes to the show," he answered
with a smile. "It's a migty good baby.
and we take turns taking care of it. If
you have anything, ma'am that's good for
croup, I wish you'd let me know. Ifany
thing should happen to little Jo—well—
if anything should happen."
. .
For a moment he twirled his hat ner
vously. and then with au abrupt bow
turned on his heel and walked hastily
away. . .
"oh ! it was frightful !" said my com
panion. "Poor little child ! I don't be
lieve you ever heard anything half so
sweet as what he said to me when I wiped
the water from his face, after the spasm
had passed."
"You was scared, wasn't you, lady !
Mind now, don't tell Bill nor my mamma.
My mamma will cry, and Bill will look
this way !" and then he drew down his
face in comic imitation of his faithful
friend. "I lust a little boy with croup
once," she continued softly. "It must ba
agonizing for a mother to be obliged to
lire a life of this kind, with no time for
domestic comfort ; no time to nurse her
sick, or pet her little ones."
It was strange that this woman, bred in
luxury, accustomed to the choinest society,
should have not a word of blame to utter
against the profession which her sister
woman had chosen. She was sorry fir her.
She would have assisted her with her
means and her sympathy, have nursed her
and hers with her own tender hands, but
reproach her never by thought, word, or
deed. I realized then, as never befor, the
tremendous power for good that such pu
rity and unselfishness must exert. But God
help us, the majority of those who labor
for others, seek first in their mistaken zeal
and pride to tear down trades and institu
tions, never thinking of the poor souls who
perish in the ruins.
I heard no more of Mrs. Van Arness
until about nine o'clock that evenir ,
Then a messenger informed me that the
lady desired my presence immediately in
her room. I found her with little Joe
in her arms, hvoking very pale and anx
ious. The boy had been brought home
a short time before, and Bill, on arriving
a few minutes after, had found him in a
spasm of strangulation, and sent for my
friend. lle was now easier, and looked up
into my face with a smile.
_ _
"Much as Jo could do to stand on Bill's
hand to.night," he said, glancing at the
poor fellow, who looked the picture of
despair.
"But didn't they holler l►i ! hi ! Bill ?
didn't they clap their hands and holler
hi ! hi !"
"Next time we'll make 'eta holler loud
er than that," said Bill, with difficulty;
"we'll just tickle 'em to death, Jo !" and
as the child closed his eyes wearily, contin
ued with great pathos : "Won't we, little
Jo ? say, won't we. Jo ?"
"Guess so !" said the child, and then
followed another frightful spasm. The
doctor came and did all that human skill
suggested. The mother was sent for in
great haste, and all the time Bill walked
backward and forward, up and down, with
the little sufferer, who begged to be kept
in motion. At last, after one of those
fearful paroxysms, the child opened his
eyes and looked around at all of us. The
angel of death, or rather of quick lire, was
hovering near. That was plain to all but
Bill. "Where's my mamma ?" the child
asked in piteous tones, and then raising
himself to his nurse's arms, as it' perfectly
conscious that his time was short, said :
"Kiss Jo, quick. Bill. Kiss Jo, quick'."
The tiny arms were clasped around the
rough neck, and when Bill, a moment
after, held him off and looked into his
face to account for the sudden stillness, a
pair of lifeless blue eyes stared up at him.
The child was gone! The mother, in her
short skirts, tinse land paint, fresh from
the ring, came in a moment after, and
fell in a dead faint upon the floor.—
Neither moan nor tear escaped poor Bill.
Once, as Mrs. Van Aruess endeavor
ed to comfort him, Ile remarked, in a f.►r
off way :
"I thought there was a God. Jo was
all I had."
Well, it was all over, and the wretched
mourners went away with their precious
burden. I was surprised, when Bill bade
Mrs Van Arness good bye, to hear him
say. .
... .
.. . .
hope I shall see you again sometime,
ma'am. I begin to understand it now,
and I believe little Jo is in God's hands
That's a good deal to be sure of, un'ani.
and sometime I shall be reconciled, but if
it hadn't been for you :"
The young man turned away to:i full
to utter another word. I don't think any
body else saw it, but when the weeping
mother pressed Mrs. Van Arness' hand to
her lips, the dear woman drew her sister
close to her heart, and kissed her cheeks
with all tenderness and affection born of
purest charity. For the greatest of all is
charity. _ _
A few days after this I was introduced
to Rev. Mr. Van Arne... Imagine my
surprise on (Fsf.,,irritig that my tierol
a mini,ter'A wire
thir pompous 211(.4 Said to him Anon
after him arrival:
"Your wife hos worn herself quite out
waitityz on some people here. Nothing
any of us could say or do seemed to have
the least effect : and with this el.iss or
people, sir. you ofconrse know how impos
sible it is do any good."
The pale fien of the minister flushed a
little as lie answered :
'•My wire. heaven bless her! works with
her heart! And, my dear sir. alth-mrh
mine has not been an unsuccessful minis
try, yet I assure you she has aces,mplished
more with her heart and her hands than I

itcatling •for the Million,
Sunlight at Last.
We take the following from the Detroit
Free Press : Why did this woman live?
[lad life one charm for her ? Perhaps she
asked herself these questions as she sat
with her thee in her hands and looked nut
upon the cold, cheerless day. There were
no tears in her great black eyes—only smelt
a look of woe and despair that the world
should been there to► s'e it and to have it
painted on their hearts.
"Mot her :"
A little, wasted form on the wretched
bed—a bony hand on the ra,..-Ired
voice that told or hunker and pin and
weary waiting.
She bent over him, and for a moment
mother's love shone in her eyes, and her.
wrinkled hand rested on his pale Nee with
such tenderness as only a mother has.
"Lift me up and let we see the sun
shine," he whispered, trying to put his
arms around her neck.
"There is no sunshine," she !shivered
in reply, a sob in her throat.
"Kiss me, mother, and call me when
the sunlight comes again," he said.
She knew that he had been dying for a
week—sinking slowly and sorely into ever
nity, but she had no friends to call 4.n—
-she could only weep over him and pray
God that she might soon fellow. Wi; h a
gasp and a sob she pressed her lips to his
forehead, then turned away to struggle
with her despair and her great sorrow
The cloudy, cheerless day faded into
dusk. She roused herself for a moment
and peered through the g'oom to see if her
boy still slept, and then she whispered
with her thoughts again. And such
thoughts
When the darkness covered the bare
floor as with a mantle ; and when she could
no longer sec her own poverty, the boy
suddenly cried out :
"Mother! mother ! The sunlight has
come !"
"Not yet, dear Ned—not yet ! It is
night now."
'But I see the sun—it lights all the room
—it blazes into my face !" he eallefi.
'•There ie. no sun—it, i s co ld an d dark !'
@he sobbed.
•'And it grows brighter!! and I hear
such sweet music !and I see little Tommy !"
he whispered. while through the darkness
she saw his white face grow radiant.
—You are dreaming !" she sobbed. _
"it was such a bright son ! The music
i 4 so sweet :" lie whisper:', clasping her
hand.
`•lt is dark—it i 4 night :" the aped
but he did not bear.
The sunlight had truly come, but it scis
the sunlight—the rayA relleced
from the gates of Ilenren—and not the
sunlight of earth. 'the mysterious cur
tain hiding toe valley of death, hail lifted
fur his spirit to pass under, and w*: had
been left behind.
And of her ? Ask the shadows of night
—ask the river. When they found his
little dead body she was not there. They can
not find ber. If she is dead God did not
judge her harshly.
Your First Sweetheart
You can never forget her. She is PO
young, so innocent, and so pretty. She
kept such a looking at you over her book
at church. She alone, of all the world,
did not think you a bay Of eighteen, but
wondered at your size and learnin. , . and
your faint foreshading of a sandy mous
tache, and believed you every inch eta
man. When at those stupid evening par-
ties, where bays and girls who should hare
been eatingsuppers of bread-and milk, and
gone to sleep hours before, waltzed and
flirted, and made themselves sick over
oysters and champagne, you were favored
with a glance of her eye. or a whisper of
her lip, on ascended to the seventh hear
en immediately. When once, upon a
memorial eae, she waltzed with young
Smith, and never even looked at you, how
miserable you were. It is funny to think
of it now; but it. Wa.i not funny then. for
you were awfully in earnest. °ace at
picnic, she wore a whit:: dress, and had
roses twined in her hair, and she looked
so much like a bride you fairly trembled.
Sometitnesyou thought, jug in such snowy
costume, with such blossoms in her hair.
she might stand before the altar. and you.
most blessed of all mortals, might place a
gold ring upon her finger ; and when you
were alone with her gar a few momenta,
sonic of your thoughts would form them
selvc., into words, and though she blushed
and ran away, and would not let you kiss
her, she did not seem angry. And then,
when you were somewhat partetlafor a lit
tle whilo, and when you met again she WaP
walking with a gentleman. a large. full
grown, whiskered man of twenty-eight or
thirty and had neither word nor smile fir
you, and some well meaning gossip inform
ed yen soon afterward that she was • en
gaged" to a tall gentleman with black
whiskers, anti that it was a splendid
match"—it was terrible news to you, then,
and sent you off to some busy town far
from your native place, where, after a good
deal of youthful grief• and many resolutions
to die and haunt her, you recover your
equanimity, and begin to call love stuff and
nonsense. You have a rich wife of your
own now. and grown up children—aye.even
two or three toddling grandchildren—
about your hearth ; your hair is gray. and
you lock your heart up in the fire proof
safe at the counting-house when yin gn
home at night. And you thought lon had
forgotten that little episode of your nine
teenth year, until the other day you read
her death in the papers. You knew she
was a stout lady who wore glasses. and
has died older than she was in that olden
time; but your heart went back, and yon
saw her smiling and blushing, with her
golden hair about her face, and yourself
boy again dreaming of wedding-robes and
rings, and you laid your gray old head
upon your office desk, and wept for the
memory of your first love.
