S' FRIDAY DECEMBER 1, 1876. rEr.SETEKAXCE. A STUMBLE IS 2T0T A FALL Failed, yon tell me, for all your striving, failed In spite of your utmost care, Failed, with Indolent people striving Why should It breed In the mind despair? Although your vanity may be humbled, Your energy back into Its place recall; Your feet have tripped, you have merely stumbled. You'll learn that a stumble Is not a fall. "Fate Is against you, and no use playing When you discover the odds too great," That Is a vulgar gamester's saying; Learn that persistency laughs at fate. Perseverance, you see, has wondrous virtue To win Its Intent in the face or all; Some check to your purpose will not hurt you; 'TIS only a stumble and not a fall. . She whom you love has been won by another That is a 109s you may yet replace; Let your resentment your sorrow smother What Is the loss of a handsome fade ? Such a mishap Is a trifle merely: The wound In your heart for a while may sail. But you'll find another to love you dearly That pitiful stumble Is not a fall. Laughed at and mocked at your endeavor, Writhing alone In your mental pain. Droop not and faint not; but learn whoever Clings to his purpose at last will gain. Have trust In the future, and faith in the present, Let hope not delude you, nor failure appal; You may trip at times, which Is no ways pleasant. But that is a stumble and not a fall. "Down In the world" do you think s Wherefore? "Lost vour labor and tolled In vain !' Nonsense, my friend; but a failure therefore PiucS up your courage and try again. A spark is left In the dying ember. And vigorous breath may the flame recall. Then to your task, and still remember A stumble's a stumble and not a fall. Keerj nn vour courace.and look before you: Though It be rugged, and steep, and straight, Winds howl alter ana clouas nang o'er you, Valfc in the path with a steady gait. Who perseveres, In the end wins surely, Vho shrinks In terror can't win at all; Go forth in confidence securely, And be glad that a stumble is not a fall. Miss Briggs' Straggles "With Skirts. Kitty Briggs was a nice, intelligent girl, notuing very brilliant, out about up to tlie average of JJoston young women. She had a stood many friends, of var ious degrees of cultivation, in all classes of society. Jiitty was not remarKauiy quick of perception, and she didn't feel or. rather, up to this last Centennial summer, hadn't felt that vital iuterest in the "movements" and agitations of various topics connected with "woman" which it is generally cousidered incum bent on the Jiostou young lady to feel, But a change was gradually coming over Kitty; first, it was tier menus; they asked her if she had seen the new garments? and Kitty thought they meant some new cloak or sacque from Paris; then they asked her if she had been to Mrs. F's opening? "No, she never went to 'openings? " Then, the friends explained thatit was a new kind of underclothing, and new ways of keep iug it on, that they meant, and said she was behind the age, and took her oil to one of the exhibitions. Kitty acknowledged that the things looked rattier cunning, but wondered how they felt when on. All the friends, who, by the way, were recent converts to the new styles, cried out in chorus that they were "splendid," as easy as anything ! and the rich ones, who wore lots of trimming, auueu, "ami so uecom ing!" Then the poor ones retorted, "So easy for the servants to do up make less work," then all, in chorus, "l)o, do, try 'em. I'll lend you my pattern!" Then Kitty said she guessed she'd try. Then it turned out that each friend bad made some little "improvement," which she assured Ivitty, was tne most essen tial part of the whole costume. Kitty smiled, beamed on them all, and said she would look them over, and take her choice. She "looked them over." In fact, for three weeksshe scarcely did anything eise. xseingoi an accommouatiug turn of mind, she wished to please every body; but it was a little diuicult to aa cept at least a dozen patterns, and r to satisfy each inquiring friend, who wanted to know, It, in K.itty'8 candid opinion, her particular pattern was not tbe best Y She began with the all-in-one-piece garment. That was no go at all; she tried it again, by cutting it in two, aud sewing on buttons; much worse, tbe bntton-holes wouldn't stay made anv time at all; she tried it again by sewing up tne button-noles for good, putting in a lew gatners, and sewing the pieces to gether, a la the original pattern. It was 'a triumph 1 She assembled her friends, and after a long afternoon of animated talk, they all said, "to please her, they would try theirs that way." So they all went home, and ripped and sewed to their heart's content. Then Kitty fell in with some books by recent authors, on "Dress," and the "Hygiene of Dress." Oh, dear! how stupid she had been all her life. Again sue called "the girls" together for kettledrum, and there arose a hubbub that called Kitty's mother to the scene of actiou; for each girl had a pet theory Boston girls are nothing without the ories aud she insisted that her ideas were the best, and wauted every other girl to agree with her! Kitty grew ex cited over the "question." She dis Cr.ssed whenever aud wherever she met a friend. Was It a street corner? Just come to tbe next shop, and see the last new thing in skirt supporters ! "Ah ! now we have got the idea." Was it a store? "Sit down a minute, while I tell you Bessie Jones's ideas on corsets." Time flew on; it was the end of thesum mer, and still Kitty's underwear was not settled to her liking, and ail her friends were in the same state of mind. "Have you found just what you want?" was now their greeting to each other, at church, lecture, reception, or party. It was all one the scene might change, but the subject never! Kitty grew desperate. "You never would believe all I've been through," she wrote to an older friend, who had, sometime since, got "bera" settled to her satisfaction. "I don't believe there's a 'reformed underwear' place in Bos ton that I haven't spent hours in, and I can't get anything just right. As for the buttons, I've sewed them on aud ripped tbem off again; they are legion; and 'when I think of the button-holes I've made, it is positively awful ! As for tbe patent skirt supporters, don't mention o'ich a thing to me unless you waut to malic me mad! I've tried every kind, looked far and sear, sewed on hooks, ripped 'em off, sewed on rings wished I hadn't tried strings worse than anything else. This week I've ta ken off the last patent tMu;r, gone back to pins, and I guess theiM are all of a dozen about me not,jrou know, that I mean to keep them, but I am just wait ing; some of the girls will soon be in with 'something new,' and I'll try it, just for variety, and if it doesn't do, there's an end of skirt supporters for Kitty Briggs I" A week after this, a quiet-looking young lady walked in to 17 Temple Place, and stepping up to the counter, said in a tone of desperation to tbe at tendant matron, "Madame ! have you a pair of suspenders?" "Oh, plenty! Like this, you mean?" She showed Kitty a neat pair, ending with a sort of guarded hook, strong and confident. Kitty took them, gazed at them, and remarked sollo-vocc, "Then yOU are my long lost brother?" "Ma'am?" said the startled attend ant. Oh, nothing," answered Kitty mild ly, "I said that I see this is what I have been looking for for a long time," With that, she laid down fifty cents, and marched oil with her suspenders, feel ing that ber troubles were at last over. That night she sent off a postal to her mend. "IS ow, I've done It. IS o more rows of buttons, button-holes, tapes, pins, hooks, or any such trumpery for me. 1 tirstciasp this little arrangement through them all at one dive, dress skirts, and the rest, and there I am. 'Hood-bye, dear, lou try 'em. and then, for the rest of your life, you'll bless your triumphant." Young America. The central figure was a bare-headed woman with a broom in her baud. She stood on the back-step and was crying: "Ueorgie!" There was no response, but anybody who had been on the other side of a close board fence at the foot of the gar den might have observed two boys in tently engaged in building a mud pie. "That's your mother hollering, lieor gie," said one of the two, placing his eye to a knot-hole aud glancing through to the stoop. "i dou't care," said the other. "Ain't you going in ?" "No !" "Georgie!" came another call, short and sharp, "do yon hear me V" There was no answer. "Where is she now ?" inquired Geor gie, putting in the filling of the pie. On the stoop," replied the young man at tbe Knot-hole. "What's shedoln' ?" "Ain't doin' nothin'." "George Augustus !" Still no answer. "You needn't think you can hide from me, young man, for I can see you, and if you don't come in here at once, I'll come out there in a way that you will know it." Now this was eminently a natural statement, but hardly plausible, as her eyes would have to pierce an inch board lence to see Georgie; and even were this possible, it would have required agiance in that special direction, and not over the top of a pear tree in an almost op posite way. Even the boy at tbe knot hole could hardly repress a smile. "What's she dour now"" inquired ueorgie. "She stands there yet." "I won't speak to you again, George Augustus," came the voice. "Your fa- ther will be home m a few minutes, and I shall tell him all about what you have done." Still no answer. "Ain't you afraid ?" asked the con scientious young man, drawing his eye Irom tbe Knot-hole to rest it. "No! she won't tell pa; she never does; she only sez so to scare me." Thus enlightened and re-assured, the guard covered the Knot-hole again. "Ain't you coming in here, young man " again demanded the woman, "or do you want me to come out there to you with a stick ? I won't sneak to you again, sir i" "is she comln' V" asked the baker. "No !" "Which way is she lookin' ?" "She's lookin' over in the other yard." "Do you hear me, I say ?" came the call again. No answer. "Gec?.-ge Augustus ! do you hear your motner taiKing to you V" Still no answer. "Oh, you just wait, young man, till your father comes home, and he'll make you hear, I'll warrant ye." "She is gone now," announced the faithful sentinel, withdrawing from his post. "All right! take hold of this crust and pull it down on that side, and that'! be auother pie done," said the remorse- stricken George Augustus. Sunny Rooms and Sunny Lives. Light is one of the most active agencies in enlivening and beautifviner a home, We all know the value of sunlight as a health-giving agent to the physical con stitution; aud it is not less so to our spiritual natures. We are more ac tive under its influence can think bet ter and act more vigorously. Let us take the airiest, choicest, and suuniest room in the house for our living-roomthe work-shop where brain aud body are built up and renewed. And let us there have a bay window, no mat ter how plain in structure, throueli which the good twin-angels of Nature suungnt aud pure air can freely euter. JLarK rooms bring depression of spir its, imparting a seuse of coulinement of isolation, of powerlessness, which is chining to energy and vigor;, but in light rooms is good cheer. Even in a gloomy house, where walls anu lurniture are dingy and brown, you nave out to ttiKe uowu tue heavy cur tains, open wide the window, haug brackets on either side, set llower-pots on the brackets, aud let the warm sun stream rreely in, to bring health to ou bodies and joy to our souls. Before killing himself, George Rus sell,- of San Fraucisco, wrote to his wife, "jjear wiie, x preier ueatu to seeing you and our children in waut for food. If Icouldsupport you and tbem I would like to live." That is miserable, cow ardly logic, Mr. Russell, or any other man.
