And sadly SAT me down to think,
or that strange mode the Tartar took,
A comely soul with his to link!
No foul revenge or thirst for blood,
,-- In him the murder passion woke:
Nor love Of spoil or carnal good,
At midnight nerycd the fatal stroke
asts' No pang of cheated lovers hate,
Or faithless wife's deeeiying vow
lnfames thy breast to immediate,
The manly stranger with thee row.
What disproport;on in thy make?
Is thy soul, as body, dire?
lid And would'st though cen thyselfforsa' G..
And mrathful doff tho Tartan tire?
Why lust ye thus for bcauty's mould
Why crave ye thus the spirits grace,
Or dream that when the body's cold,
The spirits form you can embrace?
no ruihan power, ye barbarous clans
a. With all your murdrous rites combind
Can beauty steal with puny hands,
Nor fitch the graces of the mind.
But Envy with her grecn-eycd thirst,
For every joy that others know,
Hath left no ciimc CT race uncurst,

And now, alas with impious luein
Unblushing stalks in Christian land,
.. And laughs DER crimes far more obscene
And dire, than stain'd the Tai tar S hand

Latest fashions from Paris tell us that
all petticoatS are now made with aounces.
Collars are much larger, and have the ap-
poarance OF small tippets. The work is
very rich and there is scarcely any limit to
the diversity Of the patterns. Guipure
lace rs in favor for caps, collars, sleeves,
and all description of trimmings. Dark
silk dresses are decorated with black gui-

The wife of the owner Of one Of the Indi-

some friends, the all-absorbing financial
crisis became the theme Of conversation

which the bank was located could not be
