IVIRYDAY PICTURE.

IOCOMLT aiWNAD PQITBIttAllfTI. k^)lfl > \ " / ]/ At tha sound of the booming cannon and the *uiu»40 by U>« bead, mi palJtot kin rose to iu 4th of July temperature, and followed tha crowd to hoar a grand % oration, and tho Declaration of Independence raad onoa mora. 1 took a forward seat ao aa not to looaa a •antanoa or even a word from tha platform j but alaa for human hopes, thk k a part of what 1 haani ; "Why how do you do, Margaret J ana t 1 didn't expect to aaa you here, how'a all iha folks, k your mothar hara T So John's want and been gittin married hay, i was awful took hack whan thay told ma about it for 1 never thought ha'd ham her — ho noad not bring har to our house. Conic uud mi down liara and tell ma all the news, and 1 want to saa your new frock too— what I only six cants a yard, 1 wish I could gat one of-ein for Cariine and Bet' say. Do look at that girl over there— don't she look awftil 7 Some folks haint got no shame. I did not git my dkhea washed ao I left the breakfast table be till I go back. 1 was so afraid we would be too late to git a good seat and hear the tpeakin1. Say, tell your mother •topped in at Jameses night afore last, and as sura as yjgi live 1 don't believe his wife k long for thk world, she's fol away awful and coughs a sigh t. She can't stand it long. Say dont tell anybody, eu| If*!*'* gittin ready to git married. 1 told Bill he had to stop foolin' and either marry her or stop keepin other feBtrs gway. Dont you tell but come and see ber fixens, they are real nice. 1 wonder if he aint most through, I'm a gittin tired, 1 dont think it k very interesting, do you 7 But 1 like to set snd see the people. Oh, my gracious I there oomea John. John ! JoHfc ! come here and let me wish you much joy. You must ootne down and bring your wife." Shades of Washington, Jefferson, Hancock, and Adams, did the Declaration of Indepence give her all thk liberty 7 I sighed in despair when I saw that John was obeying the summons ; and John was not one whit behind her in talking, except that he talked and did not say anything. "I came with thk old coat on for it was so hot that I'd ruth er wear this old coat than to roast in my best coat, for the weather k so hot I thought this would do to-day. It aint very nice* I know, but the other one's so hot that I thought I wouldn't wear it. I guess there'l be a brecse maybe all day, I hope so and I think it will blow a little all day maybe. II ey sis where did you get that parasol 7 Bay sis dont you wsnt some ground-nuts, 1 got some in my poc•t, come here an' I'U give you some." Then Sua' joined the chorus, "Mom. dont lets stay here and hear that man, I want a drink, you said you would buy me some candy, come on or I'll cry a* hard as 1 can cry and then you'l have to come." And 'sis' did cry, and I rejoiced as I comforted myself with the thought that "the swallows murmur, while the dewps are dumb." Vou may not call this 'an everyday picture, for the 4th of July does not come ever)' day, but you who attend th« Camp Meeting next month just see if the above is not your every day experience while there. Didn't I wish she'd go home and clear her breakfast table ? Didn't 1 wkb she'd faint and have to be carried out 7 Maybe you will have just such wicked thoughts. Never a word from the orator heard I,

A Lover of Shakspeare.

One of the most noted characters pn the border twenty years ago was old Jim Brtdger, of Fort Bridge, in Utah. On one occasion he came to New York. He did not like the narrow down-town streets with high buildings on each side, and complained that be had once lost his way in "Dey Street Canon," and been rescued with difficulty by the police. He liked the theatres, end expressed the utmost delight at a performance of the MiDsrinfis Night's Dream. He had no si ear idea who Shakspeare was, but eonoeivsd and developed the most extravagant admiration for him. Returning, to the fort, he sold stock and supplies to emigrants and other traveler* as in time past. One day a man wished to buy some oxen, nnd Jim •aid he could have any except one yoke, which bo had made up his mind to keep at all hasards. In the morning a messenger came to say that the man wanted thk yoke, and none other. y "He can't have 'em," says Jim. "There's no use UlklnV "Well, he wants them, and is jtiat awaitin' for them," said the messenger. "He's a-settin* there, readin' a book called Shakspeare/ • "Eh 7" yelled Jim, jumping to his feet, "Did you say ^ShakspeareT Here, you, give me my boots." He ran to the corral, "Stranger," said he. "Jest give mn that book, and Uke them oxen." "Oh no," mid the man. "I only brought the book to read on the way. I will give it to you." "Stranger," said Jim, reeolulely,"jest you take them oxen, and give ma that book." And so the man did. Jim hired a reader at fifty dollars a

month, and listened to Shakdpaar* every evening. All went well, until one night, as the reader came to the pro* posed murder of the prinoas in the Tower, Jim sprang from his seat, with biasing eyas, and yelled, in thundertones, "Hold on there! Jest wait till I git my rifle, and Ml shoot thescoundrel !" * As one of hk old "pards" justly remarked, a si nearer compliment was never paid to Bbokspeare.— Ha area's ' Maoasixi.

Artistic Dinner Service.

Theodoro R. Davis, the well-known . artist, delivered at tha White House last night ilia famous new state dinner service for which he was commissioned to draw the design,*, and which Haviland k Co., at Limoges, have been a year in completing from his dosigns. The service cousists of uiore than 500 pieces, which cost the manufacturers $20,000 to make, but It costs the White House a very inconsiderable portion of that sum. The entire work k essentially an American production, as Havilond himself k a Pennsylvania Quaker who settled at Limoges because he found a finer quality of clay there. Each of theae 500 piece* is a work of art representing in great variety the different flora and fauna and the natural scenery of America. In the spring of 1879 an order was given to Havihyid A Co. to Airnkh the Executive Mansion at Washington with a dinner service, which, as it was to be used only for state occasions, the Tresi i dent's wife desired should combine I elegance and appropriate American decoration. The time specified for the completion of the set was limited, and the obstacles to be overcome unprecedented, and its successful production would in vole innumerable trials of colors ; added to this, no European artist was known who was conversant with a wide range of Amerioan *ubjects and their appropriate use for the decoration of porcelain. Mr. Theodore Hayiland requested the aid of his friend Theodore R. Davis, who undertook the invention of shapes and the production of water color studies which llaviland A Co. have reproduced in china. Mr. Davis possessed (hearth* tic skill, and a knowledge as essential a j it was remarkable. Professional duty and a love of adventure had led him to : study the native flora and fauna in every ^ >art of the country. The designs were made in water color, and although in nearly every iustanco they were bold and striking, they were difficult to • reiroduce perfectly upon porcelain with lard mineral oolor •, and to successfully accomplish this it wo* necessary to invent new methods and to have recourse to peculiar mechanical appliances. — Phila.

Relief for Saleewomen. . : _ l

We publish below a letter from straw- j bridge k Clothier, of Philadelphia, to j the Public Lloorr. on a subject now exercising an English Medical periodical, namely, the requiring of the saleswomen in large stores and shops to remain on foot durihg the hottra of business. The writers of the letter, like some other merchants of Philadelphia, are entitled to the credit of behaving with humanity to theiv saleswomen in allowing them to sit at all times when not actually engaged in their duties at the counter. Those who have thus departed from a custom which was both severe and physically Injurious are furnishing examples to be encouraged until the old custom shall have gone entirely out of use. The letter referred to it the following : 31 a. Editor : Our attention has been called to an article iti your Issue of this ' date, token from the London Lancet, in regard to providing seats for aaleladies in retail establishment*.
