THE PAErALETrs.-A fashionable young lady of
New York. whose frock did not hang any lower thai
il should do, and who wore dangling about her feet
pair of half breeches, commonly called shin cur
tans, was lately on a visit TO some friends in New
Jersey, where she was arrested and brought before
q sensible, plain Dutch magistrate who fined her
FIVE dolrrs and cost, under the act prohibiting ie-
males from appearing in public with mems clothes
on. 1t is expected, OF course, that married ladies'
will wear the breeches but the audacily of putting
them on before marriage, the Jersey people think
entitled TO punishment.

they leave place in memory, which months OF
years cannot etface. But times hurries back or

past moments. When we would be sad, il
cheers us with past though hts and feelings; and
friends y HON we lowed, and to whose fond Sc
ciety we would constantly eleave. Yes, when
we would be sad, those endcaring moments and

elasticity and vigor, has passed from our vision:

death takes their place and has wrapped thee in
his cold and icy arms. Oh y hat change can
few heeting months make: never did earth
give fairer or heaven brighter hopes than to the
young being, but now angelic spirit.
OH Flrrenthiu, can it be that thou art gone
down to the dark Vault Has the curtain Of
time left such vacancy between US and shall
we never more be cheered by the sonnet of thy
loved voice. or hear those notes of love again
No! no! time, death, and immortality warn W.
of such vain hopes-thc hope Of ever mingIing
together on the green earth, but in the brighter
mansions of heaven. There we, beloved one,
will join in that band of pure angelic spirits
where all ''so!row and signing shall forever
flee away"
Our moments should be refreshed with such
