The practical character of the age will not, we
imagine, allow this fashion to prevail to any ex-
tent. Besides, it is exceedingly becoming to a
few, but positively disfiguring to many. 1t gives
grace and dignity to a tall, shapely figure
but to a short figure, or a lively tempera-

REMEMBRANCE.

Cold in thy tomb, that's closed forever DER thee.
Far, far remov'd-alone in thy silent gravel
Can | forget, my own first Love to love thee
Severed at last by Times all-severing wave.
Dear one, so yodng: forgive if l forget thee,
While the worlds tide is bearing me along;
Other desires and other hopes beset me
Hopes which obscure but cannot do thee wrong.
Forgive if love again has made me anguish Il
That dangerous, yet most rapturous pain
Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,
My too fond soul would sip the cup again!
If love divine has lightened up my heaven,
To fit in hope awhile. then torn from me,
All my LIES bliss, as to thy life was given, a

Wean'd my fond heart from yearning erthine
If fault it is, oh would it my life hasten
