The streamiet murmured soft and low,
Meanderng mid the shadoWing trees,
And as its gentle tone arose,
| sat upon mossgrown stone,
That served the streamlet for shore,
And bent my ear to catch the tone,
AS low it whispered Eveunore.n
And mid the flowers, and through the glen,
With careless haste it passed along,
Nor nring bank, nor rocky steep,
Could stay the cadence Of its song.
rainbow sat upon the spray,
The messenger Of harm no more,
The water bounded On its way,
And still repeated 'Everlnore.''
The streamlet grew mighty tide,
Fed by thousand mountain rills,
And miIrored in its moving waves,
The forests Of thousand hills.
But as the boatman chants his song,
Timed to the FLASHING Of the oar,
His tuneful notes the waves prolong,
And echo sweetly " Evermore.'
So soft and low in early days,
So roughly tossed in youthful strife,
So broad and deep in later year,
Flows on the fastening stream of life.
Our bark ahoat, the current strong,
We drift not slowly toward the shore,
And each fresh gale that watts along,
Repeats more clear the startling song,
List list what means it " Eyermore."

ENCRoACHMENTs OF THE OCEAN.-The New Jersey
Geological Report shows that the Atlantic is steadily
and rather rapidly encroaching upon the land its
coast At Cape Island the surf has ate inwards full
a mile, since the Revolution. Along the Bay Shore
of Cape May, the marsh wears away at the rate Of
rod in two years. One of the beaches upon the coast
is mentioned as having moved inwards one hundred
yards, the last twenty years. 1t is also the opinion
of the Oldest observers that the tides rise higher upon
the Eastern New jersey uplands than formerly.

WHAT'S THE Use OF STAYS ?-The editor Of the
New York Mirror of Fashion answers this questonas
follows For the use Of hoops the reader can inquire
Of the beautiful Empress Eugena s.4t s'S
Ihave asked many ladies the use of stays lob
tanned but one answer: " The stay gives US round
ness of waist which could not otherwise attain.
This is quite true; the natural waist is broader from
side to side than from before backVards-in other
words, it is slightly fattened. God has made us so,
must we not say wisely dare we say unbecomingy2
What right then have to dispute Natures laws and
set up idol for ourselves? IT, as adults we persstn
right to mortify ourselves, let not children be
made sufferers for sins. The truth is, that the
round waist being distortion Of the natural shape,
is painful rather than agreeable to the eye Of man.
One of the most inveterate pinchers among my lady
acquaintance, who s in reality, miseTably distorted
from the true standard Of feminine perfection of form,
and who has entailed upon herself lin consequence, "a
fence of stays that find too prevalent among women
and too mischeyous in its tendency to let pass with
out reply. Her delusion is, that because the stays
not tightly laced they cannot be hutfl; but to
dersand the true relation of stays to the health of the
body we must go back to the period when they were
first used namely to the period of childhood. Icould
forgive the adoption of stays at adult age, and would
sanction any amount of construction the yDtares of
tight-lacing might think improvement on nature !;
the process would be found too torturing to endure
That which desire to see checked is the detestable
refinement of cruelty that begins the proceeding in
infancy before the intelligence of the child is su-
cently developed to resist this cruel infringement on
womans happiness and W01nan's health. The undue
and inharmonous development resulting from the use
of stays produces puny mothers and puny offspring.

proof. Every thing freezes up but him. At Bng-
hampton, on Tuesday, we see he turned out and gave
Black Republicanism sound thrashing, right in the
midst of his hurrah over the election of " Banks''
Well done, Sam. The B. R. powers have been flatter-

CONDITION OF New YoRK DEFENcEs-From a
synopsis of Mayor Woods recent message we extract
the following: a6s&
His Honor feels deep interest in having our city
states that we have already in position more Of
heavy calibre than sebastopo had to repeI the allies
or than Cronstadt has at the present time. Still he
deems New York the natural first point Of attack
a war with maritime foe. His Hon. has consulted
with Gen. Sanford the state of our defences, and
secured valuable memoranda in which Gen. Scott fully
concurs. Gen. Scott {says the message,) thinks that
in addition to defences at the NarToWs, the en-
trance to the outer bay, by the main and Ge1neys
Channel, should be protected by strong battery
upon Flynns Knoll or the S. W. Spit and the atten-
tion of the General Government should be drawn
to this subject, such work cannot be constructed
in time of war. ss. Hfr.s.5
But the least defended side of our city is the Long
Island Sonnd side. In the event of a war with Eng
land told that she could concentrate forces at
Halifax and Bermuda, and land upon the south side
of Long Island sufficient force to cross the island
and take possession of the heights opposite to New
| York in few hours. Such plan was matnred by
England in 1872 and would have been attempted but
for the defences erected from Fort Green to Butter
milk channel. His Hon tells us that, in case Of any
| similar emergency, we must occupy a more distant
and consequently more extended line of eircuInyalla
tion embracing the hills between Brooklyn and Ja-
maica and resting upon Fort Hamilton on the right,
and Newton Creek on the left. The Mayer, how
ever thinks that we have the persone in our militia
and target companies, for defence unequaed by any
city in the world. %5
