DELIoAcY.-Above every other feature
which adorns the female character ,deTicacy
stands foremost within the province of good
taste. Not that delicacy which is perpet--
ually in quest Of something to bo ashamed
Of, which makes merit of blush, and
simpers at the false construction its own in
genuity has placed upon an innocent re-
mark; this spurious kind of deicacy is as
far removed from good taste as from good
feeling and good sense; but that high-mind-
ed delicacy which maintains its pure and
undertaking walk alike amongst women, as
in the society of men; which shrinks from
no nece sary duty, and can sneak when re-.
quired, with seriousness aud kindness, of
things of which it would be ashamed i'm
deed to smile or blush. This is the deli
cacv which forms SO important part of
good taste that where it does not exist as q
natural instinct it is taught as the first
principle of good manners and considered
as the universal passport to good society.

A Haunted Heart.
ANNIE CABLE COLE.

What is it, Oh7 my waywGrd heart,
This plaintive wall, half sigh. half grcan,
Of vague unrest, that ceaseless e'er
Like sea-she,ls constant murm'ring moan,
Sounds in thy depths? A haunting voice,
1t seems, of something lost-foregone.
Oil whence this gnawing, fierce Regret
And Discor tent, that, mid the gloom,
Lurli in thy sombre bow'rs to feast -
Upon iow'rs of joy that bloom, a-s -7
Till bare and grim thy depths appear,
AS damp and mould'ring walls oftombsi
This ogre weird of drear despair,
That cen in Pleasures gayest hours,
Fits through thy cels--a phantom grim
And Oh! so g, ostly, ghastly glow'rs-
Methinks my smile-wreath'd brow appears
A marble grave-stone deck'd with fow'Ts.
Obi whence those mem'ries, weird, yet sweet,
That mock me oft7 A massive brow,
30 purely pale, DER lov'd gemm'd eyes
A trem'ious voice, of tend'rt st flow, ga
That haunts me as half lcarned'd strain,
Ofplaintive music, soft and low.
This yearning flood of tenderness,
That gushes now from ont thy deeps,
And DER my soul, in waves of bliss,
So ourningly and thrilling sweeps,
And then recoils, like rock-check'd wave, b
And back unto thy cavern creeps. ....-.
Willjoy's shechinah ne'er dispel
The twilight deep'ning DER my browl
Nor cease my weary eyes 70 droop
Meath weights OF quiv'ring tearsi And thou
Forget to sigh? My soul, no moro
Mid griefs and gloomy shadows bowl
list-and from tho mystic past,
a dead loves spectre, wan and pale,
Glides forth, and sweeps my spirits Tyre,
With shadowy fingers, chilly frail,
And for hopeless future wakes
A sad-yea, wild despairing wall.

The Desert Of Sahara.

The discoveries Of recent African explo-
rers. have dispelled many of the popular
notions concerning the great desert of Saba
ra. 1t used to be described as nearly a lev
ell sandy plain. This plain, it is now ascer-
! tanned, does not exist. except at the eastern
and western extremities. The central por-
| ton rise in the form of terraces, from 900 to
200 feet above the valleys Of the Atlas
aud Soudan. They are interspersed with
ravines and granite hill. Barth speaks of
mountains 1000 or 5000 feet high. In
general, however, the surface of the desert

covered with thick bed Of sand, in 9th ers
hard and linty. Every aspect confirms the
opinion of a former sea, elevated by geolog-
ical convulsions. The traveller. at every
step, meets with mounds of fossil shells
aud ether debris Of marine animals. There
are immense deposits of rock salt, in some
places as pure as marble, aud so compact as
to 1erve in the constructions. of houses
Soudan derives salt from this source. The
efforvescence Of inter and sa!t-peter is al
most every where apparent. Lions, tigers,
and other ferocious animals with which the
deserhas in imagination been peopled, are

alone they can find food and water The

Ladies' Stockings.


A clothes line in yonder garden,
Goes wandering among the trees,
And on it a puir of long stockings
Are kicking the evening breeze;
And lot of fancy dry goods,
Whose uses I cannot divine,
And wildly and merrily tapping
About on that same o:dline.
And a very sly young lady .-l.1ty
At the parlor window sews;
And I guess, could you only try it,
You'd find she'd ft into "the1n hose"
She's only half a-length picture,
You only can see meath her breast;
But the dry goods which on the tight-rope
Out yonder just make up the rest.
So dream-like she seems, and so gentle,
You'd think her too good for the earth;
And feel sort OF 'all over"
Tba bauishes vulgar mirth .s-- .
To its worldly home-by jingol
What a flourish that muslin throws,
And how uneommonly taper
Those stockings go off at the toesl

o, muslin and hosel-I can't help it
Ye still draw my thoughts over "thar."

Yet some how or other coufound It'll

With the poet, tho muff, or the brick;
You go up with rush, like rocket,
Butcom down at last like a stick;
And let love thoughts be lofty or lowly,
Platonic or flesh, opine
That they, like dry goods and stockings,
Belong to the very same line.
