pretty girls Their day is past, their capt-

had occasion to dssect one, found it to be
built very much like a flour barrel, heavily

to know what business had to be looking

satisfactorily My curiosity was aroused the
other evening, when, after escorting young
lady to the Ocean House, | found that the

But the girls will persist Il wonder what
they'll get up next p and the consequence
is that their dresses all look broken backed
on the skirts, initiating the peculiar grace of

world, like Cape May bathing dress, prop

The SHADOWS OF CHHDHooD. D.-God bless
the little children We like their bright
eyes, their happy faces, their winning ways,
their rosy dreams ! Nothing seems to weigh
down their buoyant spirits long misfortune
may fall to their lot, but the shadows it
casts across their lifepath are Aecting as
the clouds that come and go in an April
sky. Their future may, perchance, appear
dark to others, but to their fearless gaze it
looms up brilliant and beautiful as the walls
Of fairy palace There is no tear which
mothe,'S gentle hand cannot wipe away, no
wound that a moth@''s L1SS cannot heal, no
anguish which the sweet murmuring Of her
soft, low voice cannot soothc. The warm
and generous impulses of their nature have
not been fettcrcd and cramp' by the cold
formaitics Of the world they have not yet
learned to veil u hollow heart with false
smiles, or hide the basest purposes beneath
honicd words. Neither are they constantly
on the alert to search out our faults and fol
blcS with Argus-eycs on the contrary, they
exercise that blessed charity which think

4 RoMANrIo lNcIpENr.-A soldier WHO

followed him all the way back to the camp;
when, coming in sight Of the camp, he beck
oncd her to return, but she would not leave
him. Whether she had fallen in love at
first sight don't know; but she came to
the camp with him. AS soon as he got
there he was instantly confined Tor being alb

A GRAMMATICAL PUrIL.-A schoolmasteb
after giving one of his scholars a sound drub-
bing for making bad grammar, sent him to
the other end of the room to inform anoth-
er boy that he wished to speak to him, and,
at the same time promising to repeat the
dose if he spoke to him ungrammatically.
The youngster, quite satisfied with what
he had received, determined to be exact, and
thus addressed his pull

The DEAD CmLD-tcw things appear so
beautiful as avery young child in its shroud
The little innocent face looks SO sublimcy
simple among the old tcrors Of DEATH
Grimclcss and fearless, that little mortal has
passed alone under the shadow, and cxplor-
ed the mystery of dissolution. There is
death in its sublimcst and purest image no
hatred, no Hypocrisy no suspicion, no care
for the morrow ever darkened that little
face death has come lovingly upon it, there
is nothing cruel or harsh in its victory The
ycarnings Of love indeed cannot be stined /;
for the prattIc and smile, all the little world
Of thoughts that were 50 delightful, are gone
forever Awe, too, will overcast US in its
presence, for the lonely yoyager the child
has gone, simple and trusting, into the pres
ence of its allwise Father and Of such, we
know is the kingdom Of Heaven.

PLAIN Talk FOR LADIEs.-The Western
editors are certainly very free spoken, and
their rhetoric, like the Bowic-knives of some
of them, is sharp and to the point. One of
them, speaking Of low-nccked dresses, and
short sleeves, says =
The prevailing fashion among the ladies,
which transposes an angel to a model artist,
is universally detested by every gentleman
whose good opinion lady should desire
1t bluntS the finer feelings Of both sexes
and is a disadvantage to the one, by des-
troying all room for the imagination in the
other. A round, plump, white arm is beau
tiful, and may be admired with all propric-
ty but an arm shaped like threc-cornercd
file, with red elbows is not beautiful, and in
competition with a Spanish garr0te would
stand no chance of being elected to ones
neck A white, round neck, with an ala
bastcr base half concealed by coquettish
collar, is the most bewitching sight in the
world but a large eXpanse of bony shouI-
dcrs, painted like patent ham, with its
contiguous unprotected territory, has about
as many attractions as a newly-paintcd

WoMANs WT.-Women are always inge-
nlous. Give them the will and the opportu-
nlty to deceive, and they will not only do it
extensively, but give an excuse for it that
admits OF no refutation. The gatc-kecpcr
on plank road in Indiana, lately found out
this fact, when he demanded of couple of
young ladies, who were driving by, his reg
ular toll.
How much is it !? asked they.
For a man and horse, fifty cents he re-
piled.
We'll, then, get out of the way, replied
one of them, for we arc girls and a mare !

Sagacious Punch Doyou know the rea-

woman owns, the more precious she becomes
in the eyes of your discriminating seX.-
What pair of male eyes ever saw crows
foot, gray hair, or wrinkle, in company with
genuine diamond Don't you go down
on your marrow bones and swear that the
owner is Venus, Hebe, Juno, a sylph,
a fairy, an angel Would you stop to look
conmbially at the most bcwitching woman
on earth whose only diamonds were in her
eyes ? Well it is no marvel, Mr.. Punch.
The race of men is about extinct. Now

Moonlight on the Grave.


Moonlight on the Grave.
Il shincth on the quiet grave
Where weary ones have gone
II watches with angelic gaze
Where the dead are left alone
And not sound Of busy life
To the still graveyard comes,
But peacefully the slccpers lie
Down in their silent homes.
And silently and solennly
1t throweth shadows round;
And every grave stone hath trace
in darkness on the ground
1t looketh on the tiny mound
Where little child is laid,
And lighteth up noble pile
Which human pride hath made:
II fallcth with unaltcred ray
On the simple and the stern,
And showcth with a solemn light
The soIrows we must learn.
il tcleth of divided ties
On which its beams have shone
1t whispcreth of heavy hearts,
Which brokenly live on
It glcameth where devoted ones
Are sleeping side by side
ii lallcth where the maiden rests
Who in her beauty died.
There is no grave in all the earth
That moonlight has not seen;
1t gazcth cold and passionlcss
Where agony hath been.
Yet it is well that clangclcss ray
A deeper thought should throw,
When mortal love pours forth the tide
OF unavailing woe.
Ii tcachcth US no shade of grief
Can touch the starry sky
That all our sorrow licth here
The glory is on high

On One CoNDTIoN.-Seycral years ago,
when the Legislature of one of the Middle
States was framing a Constitution, the dis
cusson of its various provisions was warm
and obstinate. Many days had been spent
in fiery debate, and the vote at length was
about to be taken just at this moment a
country member, who had been absent for
some days entered and took his seat. An
other member, who was in favor of the
amended constitution, went to him and ell
dcavored to make a convert of him.
You must vote for the constitution, by
