AN INTEREsTING LETTER-The finest of wits,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, sent two poetical letters
to the Post Office" of an Episcopal Fair at Pitts
field. In one of them the first stanza was:
Fair lady whoso'er thou art,
Turn this poor leaf with tenderest care,
And-hush . hush thy breathing heart
The one thou lowest will be there -
On turning the "poor leaf there was found
one dollar bill with some verses beginning:
Fair lady, lift thine eyes and tell
If this is not a truthful letter,
This is the one ~ thou lowest well
And nought (0) can make thee love it bet

Ben Bolts Reply.
All. YES l REMEMBER.
BY SIDNEY DYER.

All! yes, l remember that name with delight,
Sweet Alice, so cherished and dear;
l seek her lone grave in the pale hour Of night,
And moisten the turf with tear;
And then when the heart is o erburdened with
woes,
wander and muse all alone.
And long for the time when my head shall re-
pose.
Where sweet Alice lies under the stone"
/ roam through the woods where SO joyous we
stray'd
And recline on the green sunny hill.
And things are as bright in that beautiful glade,
But my heart is all lonely aud chill.
The hand which 50 fondly pressed then IN
mine,
And the lips that were melting with love,
Are cold in the grave, and and I'm left to repine,
It'll meet with sweet Alice above"
ALI well remember the schooLhouse and
brook,
.sAnd master so kind and true"
The wild blooming flowers in the cold shady
nook,
So fragrant with incense and dew
But weep not for these, though SO dear to my
heart,
Nor the friends that have left US alone
The bosom will heave, and tear drops will start,
For :" sweet Alice lies under the stone.

MUSICAL ANEcDoTE.-Miss Johnson. one of
Sir Joshua Reynolds nieces, was one day din
ing with DR.. Johnson and some others. The
conversation happening to turn upon music,
Johnson spoke contemptuously of the art. say
ing that ''no man of talent. or whose mind was
capable of better things ever would could de-
vote his time and attention TO SO frivolous a
purpose"
The young lady was very fond of music. and
whispering to one who sat near her, said:
Il wonder what the doctor thinks of King
David?"
Johnson overheard her and with great good
humor and complacency, replied:
MADAM, thank you, l stand rebuked befor e
you, and promise that one subject at least, you
shall never hear me talk nonsense again.

Examples Of Great Age Among the Jews.
From the advance sheets of "The art of Pro-
longing Life,'-i press by Ticknor, Reed &
Fields.
From the history of the Jews, we are enabled
to collect the following facts. Abraham, man
of great and resolu,e mind, who was fortunate
in all his undertakings attained to the age Of
l73 years; his son Isaac, chaste, peacabe man,
and fond OF tranquility. to 1870: Jacob who was
also lover of peace. but GRITTY and cunning,
lived only 147; Ishmael a warrior 1877; Sarah.
the only female of the ancient world with whose
duration OF life we acquainted. lived 1877
years; Joseph, man of great prudence and po-
litcal talents much afflicted in his youth, but
greatly honored in his latter years, lived to the
age of ITO.
Moses man of extraordinary strength and
spirit, rich in deeds but weak in words, carried
his life, during which he exposed to great
care and fatigue, 10 the age of 100. But be even
complain, that the life of man endures only
threescore and len, or at most fourscore years ;
and we hence find that. in regard 10 age, the
case was exactly the same three thousand years
ago as it is at present
The warlike and ever active Joshua lived to
the age of Ito. Eli. the high-priest corpulent,
pblesmatic man, of resigned disposition. lived
10 be only 90; but Elisha, severe towards 9th
ers and towards himself, who despised convent
ence and riches, lived far above 100. In the
latter period of the Jewish state, the prophet
Simeon, a man full of hope and confidence j.,
God, was distinguished by life of 80 yeats.
| However replete with fables the History Of
the Egyptians may be. the age of their kings
recorded from the earliest periods present NTH
ing remarkable. The longest reign is some
what above fifty years.

SIMPLICITY OF DR1ss. Prentice, of the Louis

SIMpLIciTY OF DR1ss. Prentice the Louis
vile journal, speaks thus to his readers
Those VINO think that, in order to dress we'll
1t is necessary to dress extravasantly and gaud-
lily, make great mistake.
Nothing so well becomes true feminine
beauty as simplicity. We have seen many a
remarkably fine person robbed of its effect by
being over-dressed. Nothing is more unbecom
ing than overloaded beauty. The simplicity OF
the classic taste is seen in the old statutes and
pictures, painted by men of very superior ar
tistic genius. In Athens the ladies were moi
Saudily but simply arrayed. and we doubt
whether any ladies excited more admiration
So also the noble old Roman matrons whose su.
perb forms were worthy of them, were always
very plainly dressed. Fashioa often present,
the lines of the butterfly, but fashion is mol q
classic goddess.
