Bride and Groom a Century Ago.

To begin with the lady: Her locks
were strained upward over an immense
cushion that sat like an incubus on her
head, and. plastered over with pumatum,
and then sprinkled over with shower Of
white powder. The height of this tower
was somewhat over a foot. One single
white rosebud lay on its top like an eagle
on a haysack. Over her neck and bosom
was fol led lace handkerchief, fastened in
front by bosom pin rather larger than q
dollar, containing your grandfather's min
iature set ia virgin gold. Her airy form
was hraced up in a satin dress, the sleeves
AS tight as the natural skin of the arm,
with waist formed by bodice, worn out
sile, from whence the skirt flowed off, and
was distended at the top by au ample hoop.
Shoes of white kid, with peaked toes, aud
heels of two or three inches elevation, in
closed her feet, and glittered with span
giles, as her little pedal members peeped
curiously out. Now for the swain: His
hair was sleeked back and plentifuly be.
Toured, while his queue projected like
the handle of skillet His coat was
sky blue silk, lined with yellow his long
vest of white satin, embroidered with gold
lace his breaches of the same material,
md tied at the knee with pink ribbon
White silk stockings and pumps, with la
ces, and ties of the same hue, completed
the hab linents of his neither limbs
Lace rufflss clustered around his wrist,
and portentous frils worked in correspou-
denc-, and bearing the miniature of his
beloved, flushed his truly genteel appear.

with consumption, heart.disease, aud de-

preparing the way for disease. The mode
of singing the knaps.c k in the French

MY MOTHERS SIGH.

MY MOTHERS SIGH.
My mothers sigh hear it now,
Tho years have passed away;
Unheeded then in youthful days,
When was wild and gay.
She sighed for me my hayward heart
Would oft, too oft, rebel
Her loving tones of mild reproof
Are all remembered well.
My mothers sigh it chies me now
In years now more matured;
Unmov'd stood by all the griefs
Aud SORROWS she endured.
She sighed for me, oh, bitter thought =
Whenever disoheyed,
Her loving eyes would fill with tears,
And then for me she prayed.
My mothers Ugh Its echo comes
From out my Utmost soul;
Unhush'd remorse forever makes
That painful echo roll.
She sighed for mr--rinnumbered sighs--
They all unhee led were;
AT last broke her loving heart,
And neu.r sighed for her !
Thy mothers sighi oh, hayward youth,
Who'er perchance thou art.
Beware-hy all that's true-beware
Grieve not thy mothers heart
By all that's true. ere long and oft,
Before thou too shalt die,
Thou'lt hear (unless in mercy hush d)
