CHILDREN'S PLAY YARDS.

THK TENEMENT DISTRICTH.
That mystrrloiis virtue which lies concealed In a
pile of clean simd. lurks about the eaves of a play?
house and twines Itself Into the rolls of a rope
swing I? one of those things which defies analysis,
yet no one can deny Its existence or Its power over
Childhood. It baa only lately been forced Into gen?
eral notice In the recent iigltatlou of the question
of public pinks and playgrounds for the children
of the streets, but philanthropic individuals and
societies long ago tried the same means for lessen?
ing the woa-s of forlorn little waifs.
The virtues ,,f the sand pile were discovered as
far beck ns some twenty years by the physi?
cians of the Xew-York Hospital and Infirmary for
Women These doctors were among the first to
establish free play yards for the poor children of
the neighborhood. Though the s.-heme has been
given up by them, the back yard of the hospital
being only large enough for the children of the
Institution, their good example has been followed
successfully by many others.
"Perhaps the largest public playground in the city
Is the one In W.-sl Tblriy-sevenlh-st. which was
I founded by Miss Grace Dodge, it covers severa!
acres and has grounds for baseball and other out?
door gnm?-s. It Is open to all children, a klnder
gar'.-n teacher being In charge throughout the day,
i and, needless to sny, It Is a godsend to that quar?
ter Of th- city.
Testent?) was a trying day for the children ?le?
pen !> m upon these playgrounds for amusement.
The foul sir of the tenement-house? is worse than
usual on ? warm, rainy ?lay, and It Is next to Im?
possible to ke.p the small incorrigibles Indoors.
A r.porti-r from The Tribute ?topped at the
Nurse?' Settlement, at No, j'? rlenry-st., yesterday
to look Bl th.? playground which is kept through?
out the summer In connection with nn open-air
kindergarten. Several little lots, boya and girls.
?ere busy at work pulling up weed? so small that
they must have sprung Up since morning In (he
Bower-.la
"Th. -v make :ny exCUl ? to ' onu." said one of
the teachers, after telling then to run borne and
seep out of the rain. "I! almost takes one person's
tisse i . -.-nd them away on rainy days. They are
enthusiastic aboui Ihe kindergarten, too, which is
hardly more thin play. COnsiStfRR only of outdoor
exercises I often hm.ro children as far away as
' II..na.n, it stop m?- at,,I ask me to ;?*t them come

This playground is .of the most sttractlre In

I'nder ? bright colored awning is ? sand pile, big
enough and white enough to delight Ihe heart of
?he Fairy Queen of Siuidtown. Around the yard Is
., border of Bowers, snd the high well Is almost
covered with vin??, carefully trained by loving
little bands. A chief delight of the children Is to
care for these Bowers, snd not a single weed la

ami by lbs boys' dubs, th?- siembera of which

Hi.- place Is ihe pigeon-house and birds, which af
toid no end oi amusement.
"It's h double-aiecker, snd Ihe birds are lots of
fun; but they're gone in now .nit of ihe rain," a-x
plaiiie.l one small urchin.
When this playground was first established i'
was open to all children, but as it came lo be
known the children flocked there in su.-h crowds
that It was soot. Impossible fcn- them to ptsy to?
gether. They would come by the hundreds an I
aland outside on the ?treet? begging to be admit?
ted
This sensor, It was found necessary to make some
restrictions, in ihe morning it is given up to the
kindergarten, which number? about sixty. The
afternoons are reserved for the mothers with their
little ones, and ttie? evenings ate monopolize,I by
the working girls and the boys' clubs. So It's
blessings are no! by any means limited to the
children. Un Saturday afternoons a larger num?
ber than usuai ?re admitted, snd entertainment?
are frequently glv?-n. which are attended by sev?
eral hundred children.
The Fourth of July celebration lasted four even?
ings, the guests of every evening being different.
The yard was bung with Jspeneee lanterns, there

For some time I have been trying to think of a
way to enter the charmed T. 8. 8.. and Anally de?
cided I woulil tell you of my grandm.ither. who
was most emphatically a "shut-in," anil who made
a "sunshine society" for ?very one who came with?
in her re-neb.
Strlckeji ?it the age of forty-five with what was
at that tlm?* BSPPSaad IS be Bh Incurable disenso,
she was confined to her bed for nearly forty years
before the Path, r callad her home-. She was also
a suffert-r for many years from elys-x-psla, the re?
sult of the change from aetlve life to the bed.
No word of complaint ever passeel her lips. In
Btosd of repining, she busb-el her mind with plans
to help others. 8he llv?rd with her daughter anil
husband, who were proprietors of a boarding
school not far from New-York City, and there
must be many of the quonelam punlls of that school
In that vicinity who wll remember "Grandma
Bullard." Her room was always the preferred
sitting-room for the family, and her many callers
never left It without feeling that It was good for
them to have been there. Whenever able her fingers
were busy piecing ?pillts, knitting, making and
mending for those whose hands were "o'er fud."
With her slender means she would send and buy
good books to se'.l to those who would buy from
her that she might he enabled to give to those who
could not buy, Htid many a one can date a change
of life from a good book and a good word from
her kind thought Her chief thought always was,
what could she do for some one else. She marie
her Influence felt In many ways, although she
never left her bed or room except on rare occa?
sion?, when ?he was carefully carrier! The lu?t
years of her life were rendered still more painful
by a cancer, which was borne with the same sweet
resignation which accepted all from her Father,
whose reward she knew was sure.
Sleeping or waking,
I own Thv care.
Walking or talking,
Thou art there.
In Joy and In sorrow.
My Father I know
Will care for the morrow,
Wherever I go
In sickness, In health,
I look to Thee;
In life nnd In death
Be Thou with me.

QUEEE PLACE FOR A SCHOOL.
Miss Daisy Dciul Is the teacher of a *che>ol on
the Fnrallone Is.and?, which are a part of the First

lighthouse-keepers on the |slan?ls. which are tocky

the keepers. There are ten little ones, and Miss
Doud'S schoolhouse Is probably one of the e?dde.?t in
