"HAvE You SEEN BRIDGET ?"-The Tribune ex-
poses a dodge practiced by some of the New York
ladies of New Years day, by which they were en-
abled to preserve the appearance Of banishing in
toxicating drinks from their retreshment tables,
while they managed to meet the wishes of those
who hankered for the good creature" In the
basement, "Bridget's" peculiar domain, a variety
OF stlmulants were kept, and the callers were in
vlted down stairs to "see Bridget" before leaving
the mansion. The first inquiry heard by the guest
was, will you have it, with hot water and IL little
lemon y The Tribune advises ladies inclined to
supply visitors with hot drinks to take the respon.
sibility themselves, and not whip the devil round
the hoops.

A DEMOCRATIC HYMN.
BY GERALD MASSEY,

NJ NthALD hAeSt1s
Behold an idle tale they tell,'
And who shall blame their telling Il
The rogues have got their cant to sell,
The world pays we'll for selling it.
They say the world's q desert drear,
Still plagued with Egypt's blindness;
That we were sent to suffer here
What by u God of kindness2
That, since the world has gone astray,
1t must be so forever;
And we should stand still and obey
Its desolators. Neverl
Wen labor for the better time.
With all our might of Press ana Pen.
Believe me-'tis q truth sublime
Gods world is worthy better men.
With Paradise the world began
A world of love and sadness;
It's beauty may be m,rred by man..
With all his crime and madness.
Yet, It's a brave work still. Love brings
A sunshine for the dreary;
With all our strife, sweet rest hath wings,
=. To fold o'or hearts a-weary.
The sun in glory, like a god,
Today climbs no heavens bosom;
The flowers upon the jewell'd sod,
In sweet love lessons blossom
As radiant OF immortal youth
And beauty as in Eden. Then
Believe me-'tis o noble truth
Gods world is worthy better men.
Oh they ore bold-knaves are bold
Who say they are doomed to anguish,
That man in Gods own image soul'd
Like hell-bound slaves must languish.
Probe Natures heart to it's red core,
There's more of good than evil;
And man-down-trampled man--is more
An angel than a devil.
Prepare to die! Prepare to lire!
We know not what is living;
And let us for the worlds good, give,
As God is ever giving
Give Action, Thought, Love, Wealth and Time
To win the primal age again.
Believe me--'tis q truth sublime
Gods world is W, rtky better men.

lMPoRTED MANNERs.-N. P. Willis SAYS, "We
should be glad to see "A distinctly American
school OF good manners, in which all
useless etiquets were thrown aside, but every
politeness adopted or invented which could pro-
mote sensible and easy exchanges of good will and
suitability. Good sense and consideration for
others should be the basis of every usage of polite
life that is worth regarding. Indeed, we have
long thought that our country was old enough to
ADOPT measures and etiquettes of its own, based,
IKE all other pollteness, upon benevolence and
common sense. To get rid of imported etiquette
is the first thing to do for American politeness."

A FEW SHORT YEARS.

A few short years--and then
What changes time hath wrought
So strange they seem, we scarce can deem
The world, our life, ourselves are aught
But one long ftful dream.
The clouds that fly
Across the sky,
Waves tossed upon the sea,
Shadows that pass
Before the glass
Our fitting emblems be.
A few short years-and then
Where are the hopes that shone
Where youth with flowers enwreath the hours,
And earth had but one music tone
OF JOY for us and oursH
The rainbow's hues,
The mornings dews,
The blossoms of the day,
The trembling sheen
OF waters seen
More stable are than they.
a few short y~ears-and then
Where is the ad'mant chain
That passion wrought and madly thought
Nor time nor change could ever strain
Till lifes last strife vas fought?
A rope of sand,
A goss'mer band;
The flmy thread at cen
The spider weaves
Amongst the leaves
A frmer bond had been,
A few short years--and then
Where Ambitions pile,
That rose so high against the sky,
O'ershadowing all around the while
With its proud boast might vie
A shadows shade,
A card-house made
By children in their play.
The air.blown bells
That folly swells
May yaunt q surer stay.
A few short years--and then
Where is the mighty grief
That wrung the heart with %torture's art,
And made it feel that its relief
Times hand could ne'er imparts
A stream that's burst
And done its worst,
Then left the heaven more clear;
A nightmare dead,
The morning fled,
Those surrows now appear.
A few short years--and then
What Of cur life remains,
Tho smiles and tears of other years,
OF passions joys and sorrows pains,
Ambitions hopes and fears
A faded dream
To-day they seem
Which memory scarce can trace
But seals they've set
Snail time nor yet
Eternity efface |!

THE NoN-CoNFoRmIsTs OF ENGLAND.

How WATCHES ARE MADE IN SwITzERLANp.-A
large proportion of the work bestowed upon the
manufacture of watches in Switzerland is done by
cottagers, who cultivate the earth in the Summer,
and in the Winter shut themselves up with their
families during the inclement season, which lasts
three or four months. The whole family then
devote themselves to the work of making watch
movements. Not only the children work, but the
dog turns a wheel to aid.
