HNlll.SE Cases, now coming into general USE
l. nr" admitted by those who have witness
ed their merits, to be superior to any kind Of
Collins, for deposiiny in vaults, or for ordina-
ry intcrinents The advantages they possess
are obvious to all. Being cnamclcd inside
and out, they are impcrvious to dampness;
and the qualification Of surviving friends have
in the reflection that the body is deposited
in an mpcrishnble case where all that re-
mains of the deceased are kept together with
out danger of being crushed by the weight of
earth upon it, and free from the Eruption of
water or deprcdations of yermin as is the case
where wood Collins are used. would alone suf-
flee to recommend them. They are also supc-
rior to any other Coffin for transporting bottles:
for, when properly cemcnted. they are pertectly
dr-HgM and free irom .thaiation Of offensive
gosscs. They cost no more than good wood
Collins, covered, are light and portable, of
classic form, are highly ornamental, and
without the repulsive appearance Of wooden
Collins.
The following certificate from some of the
most distinguished men of the country, some
of whom have been buried in these Cases
since the certificate was given, will be sutii.
cient to recommend them to the public.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED SrArEs.-As
connected with the articles recently published in
the Daily Commercial, giving the statistics of the
Sabbath schools of Cincinnati, we abstract the fol-
lowing brief statement Of the American Sunday
School Union. The Union operates on the nfssion-
ary principle. During the summer vacations young
men from seminaries and colleges 90 out as Tempo
rary missionaries into destitute neighborhoods and
organize Sunday schools
During the last summer pa young men were en-
gagged in this service from 26 Institutions together
with three others laborers) of various dcnomina-
tions, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Baptist, Lutheran,
Congregationalist, United Brethren and Methodist.
They performed, in the aggregate more than Is
years service; organized and set in motion COS
schools, in places where they did not previously
ist induced 4,4l7 persons to undertake the Office of
teachers in these Cos new schools into which were
gathered 24203 children not previously receiving
Sunday school instruction. They also visited |, ,320
schools in which were III ,426 teachers, and 65,975
scholars, supplying them with books when needed.
They thus put in circulation, by sale and grant,
more than 200, 900 volumes Of moral and religious
teaching.

LEAF MEMORY LosT.--An old mans men,
ory is queer place. Indeed it resembles an old
fashioned garret. full of relics and souvenirs of the
past; the rubbish of to-day, but the riches of yes
terday.
In conversation yesterday with an old man, who
has passed long and useful life and with whom
1t IS now Indian summer, we were impressed with
remark he incidentally made. He had seen the
opening OF near seventy springs; at first the VIM
ters came and went but by and by unmelted snow
takes fingered in his hair, and he saw them drifting
over the graves of one after another whose feet
with his had brushed the morning dews together
At last they whitened his old wifes last rest
ing pace-over her who knew him when the shad.
ows fell to the westward and 'the day was bcforen
them both-who never thought him old, though all
the world pronounced him so. Everybody said
when she died, lit is a terrible blow to the old man.
and few did all they could to make him forget
but there need of that, for said he, "they
didn't seem to know where the blow fell, they so
deplored- they didn't know hoW much missed some
booty to help me remenaberr'
Those few words, indeed contain a world of
meaning. He did miss the other leqf from memory's
table. Two pair of eyes had but one rainbow; but
one pair beheld it now Two hearts had lived over
again the past; but one remembered it-and i'm
perfectly now. Who would have lfes little thread
extended, till he too should be compelled to take
up the words and say, 81 miss somebody to help me
remembcr?"--N. Y. Tribune.

THE CAMBRIC CHEMISETTE.


THE CAMBRIA CIIEMISETTE.
IN ROMANTIC AND ECONOMICAL POINT OF VIEW
Chemsette the fairest yet
That eer hid bosom purer, winter!
Thou dost not know what envious wo
Thy vaing snow hath given the writer.
So neatly frilled-so plumply filled!
And then the eyes that shine above it
sigh-I long-nor is it wrong
Cat least in song) dear girl, to love it.
Sweet Chemisette the coral set,
To chain thy folds in gentle duty,
filings round glow upon the snow
To heighten so thy blushing beauty
And ne'er before, on or shore,
Did coral feel q softer bllow-
Nor could the gold around it rolled,
Though ten times told, deserve the pillow
o Chemsette below thee met,
A rosy ribbon binds her bodice;
And in her mien is clearly seen
One half the queen and half the goddess.
Her voice is low--how sweet its flow
Her upper lip dsdains the under;
Her hair is like dark waves that strike
A marble cliff, and rush asunder.
Oh ripening grace Oh radiant face
When love is love, it knows no measurs
Her hands are small, but yet call
The power of music at their pleasure
As they peep from sleeves of deep
Wide gimpture lace ''la mode Ramiies,"
Her fingers seem, or else dream,
Like stamens in the bells of lilies.
The robe of blue-the violet hue
The green leaves in thy dark hair cleaning
Thy feet that move as light as love
Thy breast-thy lips have set me dreaming.
My checks are wet-that Chemisette
Was frcd and worn by some enchantress,
But much fear, twas dreadful dear,
Were she wife, to pay her Laundress
