A Gem in the River.

A young mother, with the tears of bcreave-
ment in her eyes, stood over the river Of death
!. gazing wstfully tito its black and sluggish
fsssrs Ssfsssrs rs if she would fain rest her gaze upon
some object away d1ssSxn-down in its fathom-
less depths. She gazed long wIstfully'
and the black waves rolled sullenlv, sIussnv nvs>-
ly onward.
And the mother laid her hands submissively
on her bosom and wept, and said :-My Gem!
My Gem"
And celestial being like an Angel stood
near the hidden door of her heart, and whisper
ed in silvery voice like music: ...
"What seekeSt thou, mourning sister!
"Alas!' said the mourner, 81 once, even
Yesterday, were beautiful gem on my DO.
som. To r,e it was invaluable 1t was no tri
vial gem, but it was one that kings and mon
archs might have been proud Of The riches
of the east could not have purchased it from
me. In an hour, that was to me evil and mis-
erable, the gem dropped from my bosom in
the black night of this deep river. | saw it
floating away from me gently as the coming
Of an evening shadow, and reached after it,
but it was beyond my grasp, and my gem
nv babe smiled upon me, as it was riding on
the waves farther and farther from me. 1t be-
gan to sink-to sink from my sight, and in a
moment my gem was gone-and gone tore-
verp' And she turned sorrowfully away
And the Angel voice whispered again -
s'Stay, sister, grieve rot--look again into the
dark river"
She looked as she was bid, and a cry Of
sweet and raptnrous Joy burst from her lips {:
"Thanks to the Father; I.see my gem floating
gently on a great black wave. o! may not
wear it in my bosom again!'
"Stay my sister, thou art deceived, what
thou seest in the river is not thy gem; it is the
shadow of what was given thee in trust. Look
sister, Heavenwa-ds and bid thy mourning
heart rejoice
She looked aloft, and away up in the dark
beclouded sky, she saw single spot clear and
blue. and in it bright star was leaning, and
its silvery rays came down and danced on the
gloomy river. giving the black waves bright
ness. as il silvered through and through and
away down many fathonis the bright reflection
rested, and this the mourner thought was her
lost gem. She gazed silent upon the scene,
and the star from heaven was shining
And the voice Of the angel came again, like
unto the sweet song of many instruments OF
music, saying:
"sister, the gloomy waves thou seest, tho
cold. and dark, and terrible, roll ceaselessly
onward up to the great gate of heaven, and
thither they bore thy incurred for gem, which
the good father lent thee, the waves have borne
it back to him, and it blooms and shines for
ever near the throne like yon brightly shining
STAR"
The voice was hushed, and the sorrowlng
mother turned away with her eyes lifted from
the earth and the gloomy river, and fixed them
hopefully and wistfuliy on heaven.
And the bright star she saw, when tears
filled her ewes mourning her loss yet beams
brightly, and it shines upon her little baby

PARIS FAsu1oys FOR FEBRuARY.-The Paris
correspondent of the New York Herald gives
the following general rules of fashion in Paris
for February:
"a few general rules Of fashion gathered
for the coming month may not be unaccepta-
BILE. No baIl-dress can be complete without
an accompaniment of gold or silver. Neck.
laces. or narrow veTvets for the neck, or even
the small satin ribbon lately worn, are no
more admissible The head must be OF the
roundest form possible; if insufficient hair
upon the temples, the shape must be produced
by ribbons or flowers; but OH no account must
the coiffure present the oval shape hitherto
considered Indispensable to grace. No bou-
ouets must adorn the corsage save the small
round posy la Duchesse, worn quite at the
top of the body of the dress, in the style of
our grandmothers. Earrings are quite out OF
fashion, and under no pretcnce whatever must
be worn. The hair must be parted so far back
unon the head that the chignon may be small
enough to be entirely hidden by the coiffure.
Not more than month ago there was great
satisfaction in the display of quantity OF hair
behind: now it is entirely to be dlsowned ana
avoided, and, indeed, sometimes turned com.
pletely underneath to beguile the beholder in
to belief that the fair fashionable is fortunate
enough to possess no hair, whatever but that
which grows upon the temple. In every other
costume save that of very great ball, colored
gloves such as straw, lilac, or 6eurre traas, are
more disingue than white. The fashion which
still continues to reign of the peak to the cor
sage behind precudes the necessity OF any
crinoline, therefore care must be taken to wear
none whatever, as it shortens and thickcns the
waist, and looks ungracefu and questionable.

AFRICAN COLONIZATION.

The General Assemblies of both divisions of the
Presbyterian Church have adopted resolutions favor
ing the cause of African Colonization Having them
before us append the resolves of the New School
Assembly, which, we believe, are essentially the
same as the series on the same subject adopted by
the Old School, viz:
That the original project Of colonization 50 far as
proposed to introduce civilization free government and
christianity among the people of Africa merits it has
already received the cordial appreciation and friendly
sympathy Of the Presbyterian church.
2 That, as Christians and Americans we look with de-
light upon the already achieved in the rescue
more than five hundred miles of from the mani
fest crimes and mseries which the slave trade inflicted
upon it, in the peaceful organization and administration
OF Republican Government by the emgrants to- Liberia
thus riumphanty indicating their capacity the high
est duties of society.
g. That in view of the origin of the people of Liberia,
of the entire correspondence of their laws and consu
ton with our own, and of their rapidly growing COM
merce and greatness their Republic has peculiar claims
both of justice and policy for open recognition by the
American Government and that sincerely regret that
the Empires of France and Brazil and the monarches of
England, Russia, and Belgium, have been permitted to
ant cipate the action of our country.
A. That when colored emgrants, who already Free
or offered liberty by their masters at the South the
