Come, let us pull the curtains down.
And lay the work aside,
And galhcr up the playthings
You've scattered far and wide
And place the lamp upon the stand,
Beside the great ann chair,
And bring the last new magazine,
And cut the leaves with care.

See how tho flames dance merrily,
And leap up higher and higher!
Now place his slippers on the rug,
And set his dressing gown ;
For papa will be tired and cold
When he comes back from town.
Come, letme batho your glowing cheeks,
And make your hair look neat,
And put your bright pink apron on

A FACT FOR LADIEs.---A writer on
fashion says that ilounces, by mark.

take away from it, and make short
figure look shorter. For this reason,
short persons, should not wear stripes
running in parallel rings round the
dress. Perpendicular stripes upon
dress make the wearer look taller,
like the flutes in composite. 1t is
too much the custom Of all who would
be fashionable, to initiate the prevail
ing mode, regardless Of its suitability
to face or form. When lounces and
hoops, as now are worn short, dumpy

extend their diameter infinitely be.

Cotton Protection from Fire.

The New, Orleans Delta is satisfied that if
cotton bales are bound with iron instead of
rope they will be a protection against fire,
while the cost of baling will be really less.
1t says:
Cannot an arrangement be Immediately
entered into, without the loss of time, by
underwriters here, in New York and Phill-
delphia, in Liverpool, London, and Havre.
by which such a discrimination shall be made
in favor of iron-bound cotton as shall operate
to place that reliable security around the
major part of the bales to be formed of the
crop of 1859? Rope is now comparatively
dear costing more than the best inventions
Of iron; probably twenty per cent. more.
The tendency to the use of iron is already
manifested by tenfold increase in 1858
over that of 1851; and only some general I'M
derstanding, as above suggested seems
ne ded to make il most universal, aud thus
place these terrible CONGREGATIONS, which are
abstracting millions from the property aud
wealth of the country, without any sort of
return beyond the possibility of recurrence.
This would be a reform of such magnitude
as to be worthy of the age, and would give a
degree of security TO property il is now far
from possessing. If it be true that the iron
bound cotton on board the Inflated Princess
was mostly saved, with scarcely more than
the loss OF the bagging which covered it; and
true, as stated in "a recent leader of the
Picdyune, that bales thus banded Will not
burn, because the atmosphere cannot pene-
trate the closely impacted mass to sustain
the fame, then, by all means, let us band all
cotton i'll iron hoops, cost what 1t may"

how rapidly children acquire knowledge of

The ease with which IL has been learned,

great advantage il must be TO them In after
