THE VACANT BENCH OF THE SUPREME COURT-It
seems to be very generally believed that Mr.. Justice
Curtis seat on the bench of the Supreme Court will
be filed by Mr. Touoey, the present Secretary Of the
Navy. In this event tits supposed that Mr.. Nathan
Clifford, Of Maine, will succeed Mr. Toucey in the
Navy Department 1t viii be remembered that Mr..
ClifOrd.was prominent candidate for a seat in the
cabinet under the present administration and that
for some time it was deemed very doubtful whether
he or Mr.. Toucey would be cabinet member from
New England. Justice Curtis, it sIsaid resigned On
account Of mis- private affairs, and not from any dis
satisfaction with the views Of the majority of the
hOdv.

When her fair form first met my ken,
My soul was moved to sing
My harp awoke from silence then
Was thrilled in every string.
I gave to her in measured notes
My hearts soul breathing seng tN
Free as the light winged zephyr, floats
Sweet lren's vale along.
I little deemed that Fate would frown,
And Ger the dream a shadow fling,
When she gave her heart my joy to crown,
n And said she loved to hear me sing.
But Times feet wing sped swiftly on
Where is that dream Of yOre?
The day, the hour, their bliss is gone
My dream of love is Ger.
Oh when she roves in Pleasures bowers,
And finds remembrance hath a sting,
I'd have her know, pray such hours
Be swift to pass on heetest wing.

But would her dreams were all as sweet

FEMALE DREss.--A popular author, who is neither
a cynic monster" of any sort, says =
a wife looks prettier, if she did but know it, in
her morning frock Of Calico than in the incon
gruOus pile Of tiuery which she dgniHes with the
title of full dress. Many unmarried female first
wins the heart Of her future husband in some sim
pie, unprete ending attire which if consulted about,
she would pronounce too cheap except for ordinary
wear, but which, by its accidental suitability to fig
ure, face and carriage idealize her youth wonder
fully. If The would study taste dress more,
and care less for cOslness, they would have no rea
son to regret it,
This sentiment, in fact, seems (says the New ork
DpPatcL,) 10 be the prevailing one among all clas
SEES of the male sex. From the artist, the man Of
wealth and leisure, down to those among the more
humble walks Of life, all men prefer simplicity and
nertness in female attire to gaudy show Then why
the question may be asked, do ladies spend whole
life times in doing nothing but plan new cmbeilIsh-
ments in the way Of dress, wasting time, means and
health, IN never ending and unnatural struggle
invent and put upon theIryctimlzed persons some
newer and more conspicuous absurdity In the way Of
attire, which shall have for It's recommendation
only lis prepOstCrOus inutility! The question Is
easily answered in The curious TACT that women dress
for one another and not for the opposite sex. To
man. woman, let her dress she will is ever an OBJ
jecJ Of interest Heis ever inclined TO be towards
her a leuienr Judge. But woman iowa DIS woman
Is merciless She crticises without stint, fear or
favor; and at one glance she can take IN the whole
Of her sisters toilette. At one glance her skilltul
and practiced eye makes an inventory fOm bonnet
10 shoe lace estimating the Of each article with
the quickness and nicely of a retail dry goods mer-
chant. Nothing escapes her, ami only when she
finds every fashionably and eleganly dressed lady
in her company where she may chance TO be- a little
less extensively and deliberately dressed than her
self is she perfectly haply-perectly at her ease.
This Is hard but ladies, appeal to yOu-to your
inner convictions Of your motives and thoughts
is it not true; true greater or less extent!
