The studio is deserted,
Palette and brush laid by,
The sketch rests on>the easel,
The paint is scarcely dry;
And Silence-who seems always
Within her depths to bear
The next sound that will utter
Now holds a dumb despair.
So Bertha feels it; listening
With breathless, stony fear,
Waiting the dreadful summons
Each minute brings more near /;
When the young life, now ebbing,
Shall fall, and pass away
Into that mighty shadow
Who shrouds the house to-day.
But why-when the sick chamber
Is on the upper floor
Why dares not Bertha enter
Within the close-shut door?
If he-her all-her Brother,
Lies dying in that gloom.
What strange mysterious power,
Has sent her from the rocmf

CTS, and the command given in the second verse ot ms laws above quoted, as we'll as the list of annals included in this category, show that this was so, for they, too, are notoriously infested with similar parasites
 Although this may not seem a nleasant srb. ject to many of your readers, it is an imnortant one, and no squeamishness should stapI be. tween the knowledge of such truths and tba Puo'c ear' The whole matter has, within the last few years, been studied by many scientific naturalsts of Germany, and sbonld ;nterss, every housekeeper and landholder.
 Who, then, will eat pork? Would you have 'oat hsome worm some twenty feet long in your intestnes or die horrible death by the growtn or living tumor in some vital organ? would you finger through life pitiahle para iylic or an lmbeclle. and, all because you would eat me nnclean meat, and cultivate crop of hydatids wlthin your brain? or, do you prefer to hoursh an lnciplent tapeworm in the clear chambers of your eye? All of these may and do result from pork-eating. Pork is, indeed. an lnstitntion;' it was never intended to be eaten. Charles Lamb knew not the nature of the beast when he wrote his appetzing essay; were our facts then known, he had rather have been guilty of Swift's horrible babv eating artlcle. The fat of the beef and mutton. and the vegetable oils are good substitutes for the pork you once prized so highly, and far more wholesome. No sensible man, then, in the lace of all these recent investigations dare eat pork; to do So is to expose one's self with open eyes to Infection. Even though cooking and saitlng destroy the embryos, it isn't pleasant to tnlnk that we may be crunchino the spawn of disgusting worms, although harmlessly. The only rule is total abstinence.

A group of 50 persons can be taken, but 10 or l2 are more convenient A family of negroes are now sitting for groups to illustrate Uncle Toms Cabin. At the sales rooms are good assortment of views where many pleasant hours can be spent in looking over them. Here one may see Sunnyside, with washington Irving sitting in his porch; Long fellows residence, with the poet standing in the doorway; Agassz' house. with the unbought naturalist sitting on his steps; most of the views enumerated above; all sorts of domestic scenes, such as a series representing courtship and marriage, and married lfe from girlhood round to blooming glrlhood again sports and plays; eve- rythlng.

Several hundreds of these have been sold in this country and in Europe. Here we also saw microscopic photographs-the Lords paryer in pin- heads space, and several of Landseer's and Winterhater's pictures of the same dimensions. These when placed under microscope magnifying 250 dameters, were ex- banded into coarse print and fine pictures
 An ordinary hand instrument for examining views costs about S3 at retail; landscapes on pa- per from $6 to $9 per dozen; landscapes on glass from Sl5 to $3O; English groups from S3 to S1O

Is a Kiss a Sign of Friendsbin2

We always supposed, in our innocence. that It was; but a recent occurrence has undeceived us. We used to be verdant enouoh-and it was most delicious verdancy, in which we confess we much dislike to be disturbed-to believe that whenever two persons, two ladies especially, met and kissed, they kissed only to show their love for one another For what | other possible, and yet natural interpretation could be put upon such a performance? If there toas no love lost in such a manifestation. then we are ready to agree with the man who | once witnessed this lip-salutation of couple of beautiful ladies in the street, and vowed it was nothing but a waste of the raw material D Mrs. Bennett, in New Haven, is just now seeking to "get bill D from her husband. A young lady was produced on the stand for the respondent, who had but little while before been an intimate friend of Mrs. Bennett. but for some good reason saw proper to offer all her testimony for Mrs. Bennetts husband. The shrewed counsel for the lady naturally subiec. ted her to pretty sharp cross examination. | when it came to his turn Among other things he asked her if, at a certain date not very far distant, she was or was not friend of Mrs. Bennett. "No,sr!' was the prompt and deci- ded reply. : But" pursued the counsel, did you not at Chat time, when you accosted her. salute her with klsS?" "Oh, yes," she an- swered. And salute her again in the same way when you took leave of hcr?" Ger tainy, sir" But still was not friend of hers"' Tn no sense of the word," was the persistent reply.
 i Then give it up altogether" said the law yer. Woman is puzzle to me, confess.'' And we feel obliged to "give it up," too.
 It appears from this most direct and une- qulvocal testimony, therefore, that kissing is nc sisn there Is any triendship in the case Not al all. Kissing, between two female acquantances IS only matter of course "There is notpin Tn It." It does not mean love you, at all; il only signifies. G'oa morn'ing, you fool--or per. hnaps, 4 am gtad 0 be rid cf you, at leaving Kissing Is only the seal of deceit It ought to burn and blister the lips, where now it only makes them look blue. Who, after this reve latlon n open court by one of the sex them Selves will not involuntarily exclaim, when ht sees two females putting their mouths togethe at the corner of the street."

HE BENEFICIARIEs OF DIVORCE LAws.- The Chicago Tribune thus classifes those un- hapy persons who seek Indiana from abroad fo, the purpose of finding relief under the divorce laws of that state:-
 Grass widows, with whom husbands would not live; grass-widowers, with whom no decent women could live; strong minded women, who claim as God given the right to say how many children they shall have and by whom they shall be fathered; strong minded men, who agree with strong minded women in their the- orles, and lend their aid in carrying them out: last women, who feel that all husbands are nu- sances; fast men, who prove the fact, and part; silly women, who have married in haste and are repentlns at leisure; men, ditto, ditto; unfortu- nate women, who find themselves tied to sots beasts or debouchees; these sots beasts or de- oaucheeS, who hate the purity and innocency ot women-all these have, by thousands, liter ally by thousands, sought the benefit of laws winch Indiana was foolish enough to enact"

Died-At the residence of James M

Oled-At the residence of James M. Prlmms, in Johnson county, Ark, on Tuesday, the 4th day of January, 1859, WILLIAM PATTY, aged 22 or 23 years. He was study, civil and moral young man, and had gained the love and confidence of all that knew him-his re- mains were borne to their last resting place, at tended by large concourse of sorrowing friends and grief-stricken relatives. B. Died--At the residence of her father in this city, Tuesday, January 11th, Miss LIBBIE ROBINS, aged 16 years and nine days.
 Thus in the morning of life, in the gay spring time, tinged brightly with the sunny sufusion of the beautiful visions of girlhood--when all the air was filled with song and fragrance, ere came that dreary outlook of maturer years, into starless night, ere the song ceased or the fragrance wasted, came the relentless and in- satiate Destroyer to bear her to the "pale realms of shade;" before the disappoint ments and deep sorrows of the on-hasting noon had shed their blight upon her ife's gladness,
 .'She has passed away
 From all that aims the teartn eve
 From all that wakes the ceaseless sigh.''
 Joy and hope smiled upon her young life, just unfolding into glorious womauhood--th future was fpll of promised happiness, it's path way strewen with flowers of varied colors seen through illusiye prism of youthful hope; but alas! they to her. as to all, like the radient dreams that pass the ivory gates of sleep, van- ished unrealized, forever Life, that dame of many y-colored glass;" was rudely shattered by the iron hand of Death--and now:
 .Death lies on her like m untimely frost
 Upon the sweetest flower of all the field"
 Dut'ful to her parents, respectful to her teach CT, kind to her schoolmates--at all times amia- ble, she gathered up many rich treasures of af- lection during her brief pilgrimage upon these alien shores"
 May the untimely whitening of this sweet flower bring to us, visions priceless lesson leading each one to form his life, after divine example.
 So shall that life the fruitage yield
 Which treas of healing only give,
 And green-eafed in the eternal field
 Of God, forever live" F.

From some cause or another handsome men are invariably asses; they cultivate their hair and complexion so much that they have no time to think of their brains.
