Our young lady readers may be
surprised to hear that the present
style of wearing the hair in nets was
practiced by wild Karens in Burmah
more than thirty years ago. In
letter which DR.. Judson wrote thirty
four years ago, he said: ''On one
Karen lady I counted between twelve
and fifteen necklaces of all colors,
sizes and materials. Three was the
average. Brass belts above the ankles;
neat braids of black hair tied below
the knees; rings of all sorts on the
fingers; bracelets on the wrists and
arms, long instruments of some metal
perforating the lower part of the ear
by an immense aperture, and reach
ing nearly to the shoulder; fancifully
constructed bags, enclosing the hair,
and suspended from the back part of
the head, not to speak of the orna-
mental parts of their clothing, consti-
tuted the fashions and ton Of the fair
Harnesses.

A FUNNY ScEHE.-The World thus
humorously describes an unhappy
dandy's plight, during the recent
high tides in New York
The dry stepping stones, which
were occasionally to be met With,
were few and far between, so the de-
mand upon them was greater than
the supply. 1t happened at one of
these crossings, when q ferry boat had
Just discharged its crowd of dismal
passengers, that an elegantly clad
disciple of the fashionable world
stepping gingerly from stone to stone,
and casting all his attention to his
precarious footing, suddenly encoun-
tered 4 female of an unmentionab1e
age, who was not too cleanly in ap-
pearance: nor too savory in smell,
and whose countenance was of
Ethiopian hue. Here was a predica-
ment. What was the young gentle
man to do? 1t was nearly impossible
to retreat, for that would require q
right about movement, which was
likely to result in slip and fall. It
was very difficult for the two to pass
each other, for the foot-way was mar
row and slippery. Gallantry would
demand that the stronger sex should
give way and gracefully step to one
side, but at either side was a foot of cold
salt water promising mostunpalitable
bath. There seemed but one way of
solving the difficult problem of s'the
situation;' the parties must pass each
other. That was the decision of the
young exquisite, of the old reverse
of exquisite, and Of the crowd of
admiring spectators whom not even
the rain could drive away from this
amusing scene. So the youth grasped
his sable cis-a-ris by the waist as the
night before he had clasped fair lady
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, but with
far, oh, how far! different emotions.
Gently each swayed to one side and
advanced a foot; the scheme was
working favorably, and the periious
feat would have been feat accom-
plished, but for the feet of the
daughter of Africa, which slid sud-
denly from under her. and the queer
ly assorted pair fell lovingly, and
spluttered together in the water and
the mud.

Tricks OF P1ck-pockErs. .-Phila-
delphia seems to bea rather bad place
for business men to visit. The Jour
nails OF that city daily complain of
the incf1iciency Of the police force to
defeac the operations of the pick
pockets, and as u sample of their
tricks, we take the following from the
Ledger, which says that ''pocket-
picking is carried on almost nightly
in the cars"
a gentleman from New York, while
recently riding in one of the cars,
found himself surrounded by crowd
of suspicious looking characters, and
fearing for his pocket book, deter
mined to keep his handupon it as
long as he remained in the car.
When he was about to leave, at
Chestnut street, he found the men
gathered around the door, and with
a valise in one hand, and the other
hand fixed upon the treasure, he
tried to force his way out. One of
the men at the door said quickly,
"make room for the gentleman" and
a movement in the crowd seemed to
indicate disposition that way AS
soon as the stranger got into the
crowd he WIS pushed rudely, and at
the same moment his hat was pushed
off: Unthinkingly, he took his hand
his pocket-booll and watch were
stolen at the same moment. The
book contained about seventy dollars.

The Martyrs OF tho south.

BY A. B. MEEK.
OH weep not for the gallant hearts
Who fell in battles day;
They well performed their hero parts
And passed from each away
They lie asleep on honor's bed
Young Freedoms martyred band
For all that's dear to man they bled-
For God and native land.
Weep not for Jackson, who laid down
His life in fullest fame;
Who always wore the victor's crown,
Now wears deathless name!
Oh! what loss that day was ours,
When that great light grew dim;
We weep among our darkened bowers,
But do not weep for him.
For Sidney Johnson-whosc high worth
Was Freedoms polar star
Who, like Elijah, passed from earth
In battles fiery car;
Shed not. 4 tear-he as not dead
But up from Shiloh gone!
Where wreaths ambrosial deck his head,
Beside great Washington.
Weep not for Garnett, his young brow,
Among the earliest paled;
Though death compelled his form to bow,
His spirit never quailed!
Among Virginia's g mountain heights.
With Garland by his side,
And Starkc-tiley fought for Southern
rights.
And for their country died.
Oh! for Mccullough, do not weep
The Marion of the West
Nor for Barlow, nor Bee-but keep
Their memories in the breast.
They realized mans noblcst fate
In victorys lap to lie
We all must die, or soon or late
How blest like them to die!
Fair Mississippi's stalwart chief
Brave Barksdale, toe, has gone,
And Zollicofers life too brief,
And Greenland brave Mention;
kentucky's Hanson slumbers low,
With Helm and Branch as well:
Pour not for them the stream of woe,
With angels now they dwell!
For Alabama's own loved dead,
Though humber be their names,
Why should the selfish tear be shed?
They are now Gods and fame's.
Rest, 1rby, Webb, Jones, Hobbs ana Hale.
Rest, Jewett, Somers, Moore,
lnge, CARROT, Lomax, Pelham, Raine,
On deaths triumphant shore
What stars crowd out upon the sky
Of history as I write!
Would could number them on high.
The planets of our night!
They live immortal; and for them
We need not shed tear;
Each wears q golden diadcm
In celestial sphere!
But we must wecp-aye, deeply mourn
For our own selves bereft,
The priesthood from our affairs torn,
Our homes in darkness left
The widowed and the orphan band
On fate's rude waters toss'd-
Weep for the anguish-strickel land
That such great souls has lost!
