The Golden Age.

The father sits, and marks his child Through the clover racing wild; And then as if he sweetly dream'd, He half remembers how it seem'd When be, too, was a reckless rover Among the bee beloved clover: Pure airs, from heavenly places, rise Breathing the blindness from his eyes, Until, with rapture, grief, and awe, He sees again as then he saw.
 As then he saw, he sees again The heavy loaded harvest wain, Hanging tokens of it's pride In the trees on either side; Daisies, coming out at dawn, In cancellations, on the lawn; The glory of the daffodil; The three black windmillS on the hill, Whose magic arms fling wildly by With magic shadows on the rye; In the feafy coppice, To,
 More wealth than misers dreams can show, The blackbirds warm and woolly brood, With golden beaks agape for food! GipSies, all the summer seen, Native as peoples to the green; Winter, with it's frosts and thraws, And opulence of hips and haws: The mighty marvel of the snow; The happy, happy ships that go, Sailing up and sailing down, Through the fields and by the town;-- All the thousand dear events That fell when days were incidents.
 And, then. his meek and loving mother- Oh. what speeches. feelings smother In his heart al thought of her! What sacred. piercing sorrow nouns, From new or unremembered fountS While to thought her ways recur. He hears the songs she used to sing; His tears in scslding torrents spring; Oh, might he hope that 'twould be given, Either m this world, or in heaven, To hear such songs as those againt But life is deep and words are vain. Mark wonder hedgerow, here and there SpriRkled with Spring, but mainly bare; The witherd bank bepeath, where blows, In yellow crowds. the freSh primrose: What skill of color thus could smite The troubled heart strings thro' the sight: What magic of sweet speech express Their primeval tenderneSsl Can these not uttefd be, and can The day spring of immortal man.

The Bloomer Dress.

A lady correspondent writes as follows to ". York paper against he adoption of the Bioomcr dress. IL IS . pertinent and powerful text, thus quoted;
 "Auch has been written and much more said upon the Bloomer dress; but while every rnan, woman and child claims a hearing. the voice that hnndered upon Sinai is all unheard and unheed. ed The woman shall not wear that which per- taineth to a man, neither shall man put on . woman's garment for all that do 60 are an shom- iHation 10 the Lord thy God"
 Such authority is not to be controvefted, and we do not know that any thing which might be added would deepen its effect. Bs1aLo Carssr.
 This quotation from the Bible IS part Of tho local and ceremonial law of the Jews. and has no mare authority than the command to circumcise children. Besides the dress of the men in thosa days. consisted of cap on the head cape worn about the shoulders. snd a close tunic fastened around the waist wnh q belt, and falling to the feet feSembled that of the women of the present day; while the of those times, lf they dres. sed as kitto says they did, like the female peas- an,ry of Syria, actually wore drawers resembling our trousers, aRd tunIc above fitting closely to the person, though the whole was covered by . long flowing robe and veil. Nothing could be more ridiculous than 10 attempt to decide such . question by such appeal.

SIMILAR CIRcuNsrAScs-A reliable friend de- tailed recently to the editor of the Memphis hiqn. rsr, the following singular and interesting occur fence:
 |" Since the commencement of the term of the circuit court for our county, 1t became necessary for Merriweather, brother ofthe gentleman some prosecutor Of Peterson, the perpetraor Of the hor. fbie crime. It happened that he rode the horse that his deceased brother was riding on the day of hls murder by Peterson. He was in the company q Scme friends, and travelled the same road. The horse is very fine spirited bay, doclie in temper, and with an intelligent eye. When they approach ed near the spot of the murder the horse manifest ed evident signs of alarm and restleSsness. Ob- serving the singular conduct of the horse, Merri- weather determined tC give him the rem and watch hls movements. As he approached near the spot ol the murder, he elevated his head and tail, and appeared to be watchfu, and frequently uttered that snort so peculiar to spirited horses when ap prehensive of danger
 The noble animal finally smet the ground, and tfalled the coarse which the body Of his former master had been conveyed by hts murderer. He finally reached the spot, Snelt the ground, and paved and Snorted He then took circle in the woods. al q moderate trot, returned to the place where the body was found and repeated the same ceremony.

The following beautiful thoughts are from the pen
Of Geo. d. Prentice:
There is but a breath of air and beat of the
heart, betwixt this world and the next And in the
brief interval of pain and awful suspense, while we
feel that death is present with us, that we ave pow
eriess and God all powerful, and the last faint pusa
lion here Is but the prelude Of endless life hereafter
we feel, in the midst of the stunning calamity aboni
to beal us, that earth has no compensaiog good TO
mitigate the severity of our loss But their is no
grief without some benefcent provision to soften its
lntenseness When the good and the lovely die.
Inc memory of their good Deeds like the moonbeams
on the stormy sea- lights up our darkened hearts, and
lends to the surrounding gloom, beauty so sad, SO
sweet that we would not, if we could, dispeI the
darkness that environs it, "''
