Reid, Manage: It takes considerable temerity to atâ€" tempt to criticise an author like Goldsmith over a prose idyll like "The Vicar of Waketield," yet Alice Meyâ€" nell, in "The Spirit of Place and Other Essays," has been equal to the underâ€" taking, writes Irene A. Safford. And NRONGS 0f TE PMST now that she has shown the courage of her convictions and stamped the woâ€" men of this little classic as poor and vulgar beyond any comprehension of their Creator, no doubt a timid " bear ! hear !" will come from her enfranchisâ€" ed constituency, and more critics than Mrs. Meynell will begin to consider why the vain daughters, who "gazed at themselves in the glass between evâ€" ery page of their lessons," and the voluble Mrsg. Primrose, " who gave the history of every dish at table," disâ€" cussed every single man she met, even the depraved Thornhill, as a possible candidate for matrimony, and " showâ€" ed her abilities mainly in making goose pie," have not been served up in the vulgar row long since. vuigar row long since. Worse still, now that these classic, good dames are to be handled, as Dt. Primrose would say, with such " mutilâ€" ated courtesy," the sacrilege spreads rapidly to companion sisters in vulâ€" garity who figured in the antiâ€"romanâ€" tic character novels of the day. It is not even with the bated breath of Taine that one ventures to say now that " the sublime Clarissa bad a litâ€" tle mind" that the virtuous Pamela and gentle Amelia had too much of the " rustic ladies‘ maid" and submisâ€" sive slave in their composition to fill the place of any exalted heroines, and that too much of vulgar goodness, narrow virtue, " genteel" (?) vice and pervading insipidity becloud the whole atmosphere wherein they sit enshrined. It was Horace \\'alpole: who declared that bhe stopped at the fourth volume of Sir Charles Grandison " because he was so tired of sets of people getting together and saying, " Pray, miss, with whom are you in love?" and the "woeâ€" ful insipidity," to say nothing of grosser evils in the novels of bhis day, may well be said to have turned the " delicate digestion" of nicer critics than Walpole away from contemporâ€" ary literature. And yetâ€"and here‘s the rubâ€"a very slight excursion outside their pages show facts in the real life, character and position of woman which in no W_ay tally with their tame ladies‘â€"maid pictures. There, for instance, was Hannah More, a schoolmaster‘s daughâ€" er leading Dr. Johnson around by the pose, shining a bright, particular star in the grand drawing rooms of London and pitting her pl«â€"ys successfully against " The Rivals" and "The School for Scandal." There was Mary Wortâ€" ley Montague compelling Horace Walâ€" pole to exclaim, "It is very remarkâ€" able how much better these women write than men." And not far off was the still more famous letterâ€"writer, Mme. Savigne, completing the triumphs of her English sister. In social life plain Mrs. Selwin was receiving the tearful confidences of George [I. at royâ€" al banquets, the beautiful Mrs. sheriâ€" dan was captivating the guests at Hampton and Richmond; untitled missâ€" ed, " in bib aprons," as Walpole puts it, were leading " my Lord Chancellor in bibs and m«.ce" through minuets and waltzes and the irrepressible Hanâ€" nah, still the center of London‘s most brilliant circle of wits, poets, scholars and statesmen, as well as lords apd ladies, was writing the country 81sâ€" ters: " We ‘spent the whole evening at a party at Hampton in a pleasant wrangle about poets. Sheridan dared to censure Shakspeare. I raved and scolded, and Garrick did everything but beat him." _ f a% things created, has fashioned a human woman, ‘‘a woman who has eaten the apple and is yet within the garden." To have eaten tthe apple, and be yet within the garden, that is the life and fire of it, and aside from a genius like Shakspeare it takes a woman herâ€" self to tell what that means. Truly it may well be siid that only since woman has found in art the means of declaring her own nature has she beâ€" come alive in the pages of literature, It is hardly fair, then to be too hard on Goldsmith because he paintâ€" ed her in unbecoming colors, since he only Eave man‘s ordinary conception of her in her silence. The interesting thing, however, is that she has brokâ€" en that silence, and in her lively awakâ€" ening is sure to reckon with any sinâ€" ners who have misrepresented her, whatever niche they hold in the temâ€" ple of letters. And, futher still, no veil of special times or manners, can protect them, since she knows . the touch of nature that makes all woâ€" men kin and can never mistake the lay figure or brazen image of any age for a living sister. To attack a clasâ€" sic little idy] like " The Vicar of Wakeâ€" | dent field, rich and homely as a Flemish picâ€" popu ture, and dear to the hearts of us all, I u may seem a bold step. But, perhaps|Of t for that very reason, it may prove the | cong one that counts as well as costs. Amo In mediaeval times it is said that | eatir when Ulrich von Lichtenstein was told o & by his sweetheart that his mouth did e . not please her he promptly had it operâ€" ‘t‘ & ated upon for her benefit. Toâ€"day it |finis appears to be the words of his n}outh{the' and the imaginations of his brain, so A far as woman is concerned, that must [pape be operated upon to please her, and he i perhaps it involves nicer work and regu finer gallantry than the Teuton 19Y8" | pook dreamed of. To fail in it, however, is at t to fall from grace in art as well as did love, since she has risen up to be B&eY | phag own critic of man‘s works and images, ‘bler and can never mistake the sham for | |p,. the reality.

In the course of her remarkable career she has displayed many traits and tastes ; more commonly associated with the masculine sex than hber own. Her physical vigor, her interest in hunting, her love for horses, dogs and wild beasts, the hbalfâ€"manly costume she early adopted to meet the requirements of her workâ€"all these have been roughly classed as masculine. Perhaps they are so; but they have not thereâ€" fore made Mademoiselle Bonheur AN UNWOMANLY WOMAN. Her guests pronounce her a charmâ€" ing hostess. She is kind and sym-| pathetic, her manners are pleasing, nl-: though abrupt, and she resents any | imputation that ber career has renâ€"| dered her tactlessly or rustic. l : "I gave lessons to the Princess Isa |\Czartorisky," she says, "but I should add, we wasted half our time in slidâ€" ‘ing up and down the polished floor of the long gallery. Certainly it was \true, what my grandfather had often \remarked to my mother, "You think | you have a daughter! What a misâ€" |take! Rosa is a boy in petticoats!~"‘ She confessed recently to ber femâ€" inine satisfaction in having, while visiting at the court of the Empress Eugenie, disappointed the malicious expectations of that overbearing great lady, the Princess Metternich, who was on the lookout for her to make some awkward slip. In her youth, however, as she gaily admits, she was an extreme type of tomboy, brought up to delight in the company of her father and brothers, detesting all the usual tasks of girls, and caring little for their pleasures. At one time, when ber brothers went to school next door, their master, seeing her idle, offered to take her too., "So I entered his class of boys with my brothers, Auguste and Isidore, I was not in the least abashed to have only boys for my companions during the hours of recess, which we spent in the garden of the Plgce Royale. I was quite able to hold my own in all the games." _ w ie + Five years later on the death of her mother, she was placedâ€"she, of all girls!â€"as an apprentice with a dressâ€" maker, Madame Gaindor{. Naturally, she did not long remain there. Her next occupation was to color simple designs for a friend of her father‘s, Monsieur Brisson, whose business was to + "In this way," she says, "I earned a few sousâ€"poor little earnings, of which I cannot now think without emotion. What an eccentric creature was dear Madame Brisson! The mother of three boys,. she was disconsolate never to have had a â€" daughterâ€"her dream. To lessen the disappointâ€" ment she nicknamed her boys with girl namesâ€"in the home circle of course. My chum, best friend and closest companion, her youngest son, answered to the name of Elenora." An odd comradeship, surely, of boyâ€" girl and girlâ€"boy! The madcap Rosa was next sent to a prim boardingâ€" school, from which she was sent home in disgrace for having slashed the heads off the owner‘s best roseâ€"bushes with a stick while conducting a desperate charge in the garden, during a sham battle in which she had induced the other girls to take part. Shortly after, she began to paint in earnest, and had entered modestly and obscurely upon her destined career, although she was not quite the conventional girl, even then. PAINT HERALDIC DEVICES. ROSA BONHEUR. | _A Londoner has described in a newsâ€" paper some of the remarkable sights he has witnessed at St. Paul‘s. One regular attendant was a wellâ€"known \bookmaker, who was always to be seen at the afternoon services, His case Idid not present the mental contrast \that might have been supposed of gamâ€" ‘bler and man of religious nature in |\one. He came simply to reckon his \daily gains and losses in the quiet of ‘the building. He did not linger like others at the rear of the church, but seated himself among the worshippers with his accounts in the cover of the prayer book to which he seemed so atâ€" tentive. _ One visitor recently saw _ a peddler offering knives for sale to the loungers seated near one of the enâ€" trances,. One _ man hbabitually sells pipes in the cathedral and an actor confessed that be always went to St. Paul‘s to study his parts. The vergâ€" ers admit that they are unable to deal with the tramps who infest the church in winter. _ The most they can do is to |eject those who create a disturbance, Tramps by the way, have also proved a nuisance to some extent in the large churches here which are always open, The persons who cause more trouble in this way are old women, who go to a church as soon as it is opened and reâ€" mair there all day, They are occaâ€" sionally removed by the police, and are attracted to the church chiefly through ‘religious enthusiasm, The St. Paul tramps are of quite a different kind. don‘s Great Cathedral. Visitors in London have ofter been astonished at the conduct of some peoâ€" ple in St. Paul‘s Cathedral. They bhave seen men sitting about the entrance eating bananas and nibbling sandâ€" wiches,; others have been dozing and many bhave evidently not been attractâ€" ed there by the idea of worship or sightseeing. The beggars that bang about the continental churches and the guides who lie in wait for sightseers may be no better Jlooking, but they present a more reverential aspect. One visitor who has been in the church at intervals for the past ten years says he has never failed to notice these offenders. On Sundays there are fewer of them than at other times; but bhe recalls oue curious inciâ€" dent on a Sunday afternoon when a popular canon was preaching. The body of the great church was occupied by a congregation that filled every chair, Among the worshippers sat three men eating oranges. ‘They apparently had no ears for the eloquent sermon and the beautiful singing. When they bad finished their meal they simply left the church, CURIOUS SIGHTS AT ST. PAUL‘S. The cathedral has long been a favorâ€" ite meeting place of lovers, and the couples constantly meeting there are ome of its familiar features. St Paul‘s is unique among the great â€" show charches of the world for this lack of reverence and even decency among the persons who frequent it, No continâ€" ental church has ever offered a similar sight, although none of them is, of course, in a city of such size. LOVE IN A PALACE. The loneliest court in Europe, and at the time of the writing of this arâ€" ticle the court to which general obserâ€" vation is directed, is that of The Hague. The palace is a small one, and it is tenanted by young Queen Wilhelmina and her mother, with a few court laâ€" dies and a swarm of servants. There are few official receptions and state balls. The queen and her mother have no relations living at The Hague, and are cut off by etiquette from the soâ€" ciety of the capital. They are conâ€" stantly together, but lead a life of routine and dull monotony. are cut off by etiquette from the soâ€" ciety of the capital. They are conâ€" stantly together, but lead a life of routine and dull monotony. The royal mother, very naturaliy unâ€" der the circumstances, is laughingly said to Le a imatchmaker. The young queen, being almost the last survivâ€" or of the House of Orange, is expected to make a speedy marrlage; but she is in no haste to do so, and insists upon having a husband whom she can love, honor and respect. Rarely has court matchâ€"making been conducted under conditions of greater difficulty. The Duich ministers contend that the princeâ€"consort must be a Protestant prince, who is not under the influence of the court of Berlin. These conditions have narrowed the choice to about bhalf a dozen princes. The suitors have been invited to the royal countryâ€"seats in Holland, but the young queen has not encouraged their advances. One of themâ€"the Prince of Wiedâ€"has been considered the probably choice, but the betrothal has been deferred so long that the court gossips have now conâ€" cluded that it will never take place. Certainly the royal matchâ€"maker hbas recently been looking about in various quarters for another eligible partâ€" ner. _ The queen is a highâ€"spirited young woman, with a will of her own, ‘and a strong vein of romantic sentiment. She has no idea of making an alliance for the convenience of her Dutch sub jects. She has the oldâ€"fashioned noâ€" tion, that a woman, even if she be a queen, should love the man whom she marries. Whenever she is pressed to make up her mind, she quotes her faâ€" ther‘s advice to her, cautioning her against marrying in haste and repentâ€" ing at leisure. She is devotedly atâ€" tached to her mother, but she is her own mistress and will not marry for state reasons any man who cannot command not only her respect but her love. Queen Wilhelmina may be unmanâ€" ageable, but there is good sense in the position she has taken. The etiâ€" quette of courts separates royalty from companionship outside the palaces. The members of royal families largely live apart even from the best society of their capitals, and find happiness or unhappiness in domestic life. _ Their intercourse with the world is formal and artificial. They are only at home and without reserve among themselves and therefore love in a palace seems to be quite as essential to contentment as love in a cottage. 1.
