Isabel

How well remember the soft sunny green,
And the spring, at the base of the hill,
Where we, in our childhood so often have been.
When the winds of sweet summer were still.
And the lonely glen, with its flowers so fair,
The gray rock, and the shady old tree;
For then, there was joy in the air
For thee, my Isabel, and for me.
The old tree has fallen, the flowers are dead
And the rock, with wild moss is oergrown
And thou, like the spring, from my bosom have
fed,
And have left me to sorrow alone

AN UNCOMMON CAsE.-The Machais
Union tells the following:

"One fellow who owed for his paper,
owned up that he could not sleep well of
nights, that something troubled him, and
actually dreamed one night, that he had
a rope around his neck and was about
ready to swing off, when he awoke in a
frightful perspiration. He was exceed
ingly anxious to know the cause He
had paid the trader, butcher and doctor,
and tried in all respects to live up to the
golden rule. By and by the thought
flashed across his mind that he owed the
PRINTER, for his paper two years. Forth
with he resolved to pay him and now de-
clares he sleeps well and is at peace with
everybody. tf9

ten minutes that should have been given
to the Mutual Life Insurance Co. Now.
| say what hare You done with my hat?
You haven't seen 1t? Frank, go get me
nly hat, and, Jane, fetch me my cane
What's that? You can't find my hat?
Now, Mrs. Caudle, should like to know
why you aeiU persist in training your chill
dren In such a needless manner? He
cant find nay hat! To be sure not; how
can he if you don't learn him how to look2
Didn't [ have it in the kitchen when I
went there last night after something to
eat? How the deuce should you know?
| say it's your business to know and to
have my things ready for me in the morn

Eth you have too much else to do? Of
course you have with three servants and
two children Be calm! O, YES, + sciU
be ca1mi You see I an, calm, and if
you would only be so | should have been
able to find my hat long ago instead of
staying here to listen to your excuses,
when | ought to be down town attending
to business. | wonder how you expect
I'm to keep this house going if I'm to
keep waiting for my hat. What! how
can you help it? Why, madam, it is the
easiest thing in the world It's simply
this modern management. Now, do YOU
suppose things would go on this way if
you would only see that articles are in
their right place? But | suppose you
haven't got time to do that even Of
course not. Well, there's no use talking.
| must 90 to the Office bare headed. Your
bonnet, madam you bonnet But why
should be surprised if you should offer
me your skirts also? seem to have lost
all authority in my own house. It's not
your fault and pray, then, whose fault
is it, What. the servants no ma'ami
/ tell you, you are mistaken-it's not the
servants tell you that it's your fault.
[ wonder who oUersces the eservants-who
madam, but youP then clearly, it's vonr
own fault that | can't find my hat. fSit,
down. Well, it's no use talking. I sban't
go to the Office to-day, and you, ma'am.
shan't go to Newport-d'ye hear? It's no
use asking, you shan't go. You needn't
suppose Pm going to be deprived of nv
hat like this, and then allow you to spend
my money at Newport. No, ma am: here

smoke all over the house"
"Here (says Mrs. Caudle) the borrid
wretch was about putting his odious nre-
cept into practice, when Jane came IN
with his hat, having found it in corner
OF the large oak tree chair, on the back
stoop."

THE RED PETTIcoAT.-The Philadt

THE RED PErTIcoAr.-The Philadel.
phia Gazette, of Saturday, says:
To gust of wind which swept down
Chestnut street yesterday afternoon, we
are indebted for the discovery of a new
freak of fashion. The red woolen petit
coats recently introduced by Eugene,
have already found their way into this
city, and will most likely become the rage
during the season. From momentary
glimpse of the article, we suppose them
to be- made of some fine material like
Salisbury flannel, though, possibly, they
may be cashmere. Around the bottom
run broad stripes of bright colors, giving
decidedly picturesque appearance to the
ladies, as they gracefully step over the
cutters. The ladies will, therefore, dis
pense with white ones, and those gothic
combinations which have, of late, been
so highly in vogue
