II Parodies are seldom so close to thei
originals as the following upon The Last Ros
Of Summer" by Moore:
'Tis the last golden dollar,
Left shining alones
All its brilliant companions
Are squandered and gone;
No coin of its mintage-
Reflects back its hue
They went in mint juleps,
And this will go, too
I'll not keep thee, thou lone one,
Too long in suspense
Thy broihers were melted,
And melt ihoa TO pence!
ask for quarter,
I'll spend and not spare,
Fill my old tattered pocket
Hangs centless and bare.
So soon may 'foller"
When friendships decay.
And from beggarry's last dollar
The dimes drop away!
When the Maine law has passed,
Aud the groggeries sink,
What use would be dollars
With nothing to drink?

the Senate, being the conservative branch OF
Congress llreject the BILL as too progressive
and toorevoluionary in its character. Now we
have too much confidence in the wisdom of that
body, to think, for moment that they do not
see that the measure is highly conservative and
anti-revolutonary and it is just for thut reason
that we decidedly in its favor 1t is an
opposite policy that is breeding the revolutions

Memory In Music.

Itwas o touching melody,
A song OF eother years.
1heard with JOY, yet seemed to feel
Upon my heart in sadness steal s
Al Forgotten smiles andtears
For when she sung that song to me,
That little mournful lay,
We thought that life would always seen
AS beautiful-as bright dream
As soothed our hearts that day.
She never sang that song again
Her dream Of life is DER;
Yet oft amid the weary strife
And ceaseless toll of busy life
hear its tones once more.
It sounds--the little mournful strain
As it did in former years;
hear with joy, and yet feel
Upon my heart in sadness steal
Remembered smiles and tears.

Costume I'm France.

Ii is curious TO observe the remarkable change
in fashions and taste that has taken place IN France
since the empire. Nearly all the exquisite sim
plicty which was the characteristic of female
dress in France has disappeared. Gorgeous orna-
ments and vivid coloIs are the order Of the day
Bayle ST. John in his "Purple Tint OF Paris. p
says: II saw, on one occasion, lady, noted toI
the elegance of her costume. appear at soiree IN
a costume very much resembling that OF savage
queen. Her gown was of light red, her bracelets
and necklace of coral beads larger than hazel nuts
and her head was decorated with pieces OF cora
and feathers Had she been even beautiful, she
would have appeared ridiculous. The ladies say
they are compelled to this sacrifice Of tasteby the
adoption of brilliant uniforms laden with gold and
silver embroidery by the courtiers and all public
fupciionaries. The change is curious, because
Frenchmen have long Struggled successfully a,
panst the national taste, which is all for show and
| Gorgeousness, as is evinced, says one OF then
writers, by the immense popularity OF the dahlla
flower. The empire has not yet had much in
f1uence on male costume, except by the re-ntroduc
ton of frockcoats with long skirts. But it was
once in contemplation to make an entire revolution
in this respect-to suppress moustaches, and en-
force tight breeches and sort of top-boots. The
emperor. however, did not think 1t would be ex-
pedient. on consideration, to make Paris conspic-
ans in this fashion, and contents himself with
setting good example at Compeigne, where,
with true appreciation OF elegance, he resorts
sometimes to the costume of the last century, and
shames his court into magnificence by wearing
fine frills and pendant wristbands OF MalInes lace.
