BONNETS.

OF all the charms dear woman wears,
OF all her many traps and snares.
For real effect there's nanght compares
With truly pretty bonnet;
For when or where ever you chance TO meet
One that is perfectly modest and neat
Y on may depend It's proof complete
That the head has more in than on it.
No matter whether she's pretty or not,
How much or how little money she's got,
Whether she lives iu q mansion or cot,
'Tis fact, depend upon it;
The woman to mike a man happy thro' lie,
TO make model mother or wife,
Is one who, scorniug the millner strife,
Wears plain and tasteful bonnet.
Now bonnet of genuine beauty and grace,
Worn on the head in its proper place,
Shadowing family the wearer'S face,
"ls thing for song or n sonnet :"
But one Of those gay aud gauty things,
NJ ade up Of ranbows and butterfly wings,
A mixture Of flowers, ribbons aud strings,
Is dreadful, depend upon it.
a vulgar mass Of "Fuss and feather"
a little Of everything thrown together,
As if by touch Of windy weather,
y wretched onglomera,ion--
sort of cup TO catch the hair,
Leaving the head to "go it bare,'
a striking example of Nothing to Wear"
is this bonnet abominatiOn.
1t makes the woman look brazen and bold,
Assists her in catching nothing but cold
Is bad on the young, absurd on the DID,
And defOrns what is ought to deck
For look at her face no bonnet is there,
See at the side it hangs by hair;
View it behind and you will declare
That the creature has broken her neck
No matter where you may chance to be,
No matter how many women you see,
A promiscuous crowd or certain she,
You may fully depend upon it
That q gem of .he very rGreSt kind,
\ thing most difficult to find,
a pet for which We long have pined
Is a perfect "love Of bonnet"

THE TWO ARMIES.

As Lies unendng columns pours,
Two marshaled hosts are seen
Two armies on the trampled shores
That Death flows black between.
One marches to the drum. beats roll,
The wide mouthed clarion's bray,
And bears upon the crimson scroll,
"Our glory is to slay."
One moves, in silence by the stream,
With sad yet watchful eyes,
Calm as the patient plannet's CLEAN
That walks the clouded skies.
\ long its front no sabres shine,
No blood-red pennons wave
Its banner bears the single line,
"Our duty is to save"
For those no death.beds lingering shade,
At llonor's trumpet.call
With knttedbrow and lifted blade
In glory's arms they fall.
For these no clashing fulchon's bright
No stirring battle.cry;
The bloodless stabber calls by night
Each answers. "llere am l."
For those the sculptor's marble bust,
The builders marble piles,
The anthems pealing DER their dust
Through long cathedral oisles.
For these the blossom-sprinkled turf
That foods the lonely graves,
When Spring rolls IN her sea.green surf
In Gowery foaming waves.
Two paths lead upward from below,
And angels wait above,
Who count each burning life-drops now,
Each falling tear Of Love.
Though from the Icro's bleeding breast
Her pulses Freedom drew,
Though the white lilies in her crest
Sprang from that scarlet dew
While Valor's naughty champions wait
Til all their scars are shown
Love walks uuchgllenged thro' the gate,
TO sit beside the Throne

Old Persons Sleeping with Children

Old Persons Sleeping with Children.

offspring, alone should encourage this evil
but every parent who loves his child, and
wishes to preserve TO him sound nervous
system with which to buffet successfully the
cares, sorrows, and labors Of life, must see to
il, that his nervous vitality is not absorbed
by some diseased or aged relative.
Children, compared with adults are elec.
trically in q positive condition. The rapid
changes which are going on in their little
bodies, abuudant!y generate and as exten-

and dull, while their bed companions feel O

the same bed with her almost constantly day
and night. The mother fingered for months
on the verge Of the grave, her demise being
hourly expected. Still she fingered on, daily
disproving the predictions of her medical

without any apparent disease. Its once fat
little cheeks fell away with singular rapidity,
till every bone in its face was visible. Fl
