BRIDESMAIDS.

Next to being bride herself, every good
looking young woman likes to be brides
maid Wedlock is thought by large proper
ton of the blooming sex to be contagious,
and much to the credit of their courage,
fair spinsters are not at all afraid of catch
ing it, Perhaps the theory that the affec-
ton is communicated by the contact is cor
rect Certainly we have known one mar
riage to lead to another, and sometimes to
such a series of "happy events" " as to IA
vor the belief that matrlmony as John Van
Buren, might say "runs like the cholera"
Is there any book entitled "Rules for
Bridesmaids" in secret circulation among
young ladies 1t seems as if there must
be, for all the pretty hench-women act pre-
cisely alike. So far as official conduct is
concerned, when you have seen one brides
maid you have seen the whole fascinating
tribe. Their leading duty seems to be to
treat the bride as victim led with gar
lands to the sacrifice" They consider it
necessary to cxhort her to "cheer up and
stand by" 1t is assumed, by poetic fic-
ton, that she goes III state of fearful ire
pidation to the altar, and upon the whole
would rather not. Her fair aids provide
themselves with pungent essences, lest she
should faint at the trying moment" which,
between you and US, reader, she has no
more idea Of doing than she has of flying
1t is true that she sometimes tells them that
she " feels as if she would sink into the
EARTH" and that they respond "pool, dear
soul" and apply the smelling bottle ; but
she goes through her nuptial martyrdom
with fortitude, nevertheless.
In nine cases out of ten the bridegroom
is more fustered" than the fragile and
loved creature at his side but nobody
thinks of pitying him, poor fellow. All
sympathy, compassion, interest, is coEcen-
centrated upon the bride, and if one of the
gronmsmen does recommend him to take
glass of wine before the ceremony, to
steady his nerves, the advice is given SUI
perciliously sly-as we should say, what a
spooney you are old fellow"
Bridesmaids may be considered as brides
in what lawyers call the " "inchoate" or in
cipient state. They are looking forward to
that day of triumphant weakness when it
shall be their turn to be "poor, dear orea=
tured," and Preston salted and otherwise
sustained and supported, as the law of nup-
tial prctences directs. Let us hope they
may not be disappointed.

beside the sea-shore, he clasped the frall
figure III his arms and sprang.
For their lives. A misstep on the slippery
shore would have precipitated both into the
boiling whirlpools of the sea-a moments
hesitation would have been their doom; but
Kenneth Wayne had carefully husbanded
his strength, and calculated the exact dis
tance with precision learned through his
artist-life
He felt a clasp of kindly hands, the bonds
of aiding fingers as they were dragged up
the wet and yielding sands but one terri
bic apprehension filled his mind with strange
dismay.
"Lettice is she safe ?'
For if death had taken her from him III
that moment of peril, life would be scarce
worth having, dearly bought though it
were.
And then he heard her mothers voice
whispering softly,
Thank God my child is alive and un-
hurt "
Not all the pictured gloom Of cathedrals,
nor the chant Of white-robed priests, could
give more passionate fervency to the pray
er that went up from the desolate rocks of
the storm-girdIed island-the prayer of
thanks too deep for words, that burst from
Kenneth Wayne's inmost soul !
And so the tempestuous night closed
around the cliffs of Mount Desert.
The next morning rose bright and cloud
less, as if no murky vapors had ever OBJ
scured the liquid dome OF heaven and
when Kenneth Wayne come down stairs
Lettice was standing by the window in a
pink morning dress-a little pale, but very
lovely-in mood unusually subdueds sand
quiet She looked up with a faint smile
and few murmured words of greeting as
he entered, but he had made up his mind
not to be put off by any such maidenly sub
terfuge He went straight up to her, and
looked fully into the blue eyes with ten
der searching 6 lance.
Lefty" he said gently, " | have come
to plead my cause with you yet again. We
are nearer to each other than we were this
time yesterday. You are my preserver,
Lettice You would have given your life
for me yesterday | am here te ask you to
give that life into my keeping now l will
cherish il, t,dearest, with an everlasting love
Lettice, will you be my wife ~
She put her hand shyly in his.
ooh, Kenneth, | never knew how much
l loved you until l thought you were lost
to me forever"

DRESS IN JAPAN.

The Japanese women are, III general
much better looking than the Chinese--the
eyes less elongated, and the whole express
sion of the face more open and free from
cunning. There are many, however whose
faces proclaim their Chinese origin, the off
spring, probably, of some of those inter
marriages which occasionally take place.
Their head dresses and hair, which are OBJ
jects of.especial attention, are generally
arranged after a very elaborate fashion,
and when disposed to their entire satisfac-
ton, are not disturbed again for a day or
two. The pillow of which they make use
is admirably adapted for keeping the we'll
made of wood, and reminded us, at first
sight, of good sized telescope. The head
rests on a small roll of linen or paper, like
a sausage in size, which they place at the
top, and one would imagine that a stiff
neck next morning must be the result of
such an unrefreshing pillow. AS we are
all, however, creatures Of habit, they most
probably prefer that to which they have al
ways been accustomed The men, like
wise, have their head dressed only once in
twenty-four hours, and sometimes at longer
intervals A regular hair dresser arranges
their head in the morning, invariably selec
ting the front part Of the house, probably
in order that the individual under his hands
may be able to amuse himself by gazing at
the passers by during an operation so te
dious and elaborate. The entire top of the
head, from the forehead is always kept
shaved as clean as the face of beardless
boy. The rest of the hair, allowed to grow
long, is saturated with grease to which is
added kind of gum or paste, to make it
stiff The locks, thus bedaubed, are then
combed up all around, and tied at the crown
of the head the ends sticking together
forming a tail piece, which is again doubled
back and tied, plenty of gum being applied
all the time to make it pliable. When it is
finished, it rests on the centre of the head,
a short, neat little tail or knob. The wo-
men dress very much like the men, with
loose, flowing robe, confined at the waist by
scarf. At the back they w ar bundle
of cloth silk, the most costly article of their
whole attire. Every woman, whether of
low or high degree, poor or wealthy, always
turns round on passing another woman, and
fixes her eyes on this singular appendage,
a scrutiny which enables her to Judge of
the wearer's station and wealth They
redden their lips with a preparation the
name of which is Blen-tsu-ba. By means
of another mixture, which many avail them
selves of, they give golden tinge, the ap-
pearance of which strikes one, at first, as
very singular.

DIvoRcEs-A Philadelphia paper says
application for divorce have, it is said,
greatly increased within the last few years
in our city. 1t does seem astonishing what
a hurry some people are in to sunder the
sacred bond, who few months ago were
in Just as great hurry to take upon them
selves the obligations and responsibilities
Of married life.
They kiss and twitter like mated birds
for brief fortnight, and the third week
are brought up before the courts for throw
ing smoothing irons at each other, and
indulging in other little endearments pecul-
lar to double -blessedness In some late
cases husbands and wives have been off
cake and ale had been washed from their
mouths There must be screw loose some
where. The fact is the whole preliminary
business of courtship is one grand system
attic course of mutual deception both par
ties persistently shut their eyes to each
others true character, and insist upon in.

neither possesses, and which none but an.

the other accompaniments of domestic

NUMBER "a.
TATTOO.

The sun had sunk behind the hills,
The moon sails high and wintry clear
Her pale light falls on twinkling camps
That lie around me, far and near.
Near, like a village lit they seem,
For, like the fre-hy's titful gleam.
All! many thousand weary men
Are welcoming the restful night
Glad that day of toll or watch
Withdraws its labor with its light.
They but await the evening call
That shall release them from their thrall.
Hark! far away the sound begins
One only lonely simple strain;
Then fife and drum and bugle-call
In tumult answer back again
And when one bird at morn awakes
A chorus in the woods and brakes,
And all is still again. The ranks
Have answered to the evening call
Come, o fair goddess Rest! and smooth
The rough beds of the soldiers all,
And Sleep, with softest fingers, close
The eyes that wake to watch our foes.

The GREAT MYsrERY-The body is to die :;
so much is certain What lies beyond ?
No one who passed the charmed boundary
comes back to tell. The Imagination visits
the realms of shadows, sent out from the
windows in the soul over life's restless
waters, but wins its way wearily back,
with an olive leaf in its beak as token of
emerging life beyond the closely bending
horizon. The great sun comes and goes in
the Heaven, yet breathes no secretethereal
wilderness the crescent moon cleaves her
mighty passage across the upper deep, but
tosses overheard no message, and displays
NO signals The sentimental stars chal-
lenge each other as they walk their night
ly rounds, but we catch no syllable Of their
countersign which gives passage to the
Heavenly camp. Between this and the
other life is great gulf fixed, across which
neither eye nor foot can travel The gentle
FRIEND whose eyes we close in their last
sleep long years, died with rapture in her
wonder-stricken eyes, a smile of inefable
joy upon her lips, and hands folded over
triumphant heart, but her lips were past
speech, and intimated nothing of the vision
that enthralled her.

as- A young New England mamma, on
the important occasion of making her little
boy his first pair of colored trousers, con-
ceived the idea that it would be more eco
nomical to make them of the same dimen-
sions behind and before, so that they might
be changed about and wear cvenly-and
so she fashioned them. Their effect, when
donned by the little victim, was ludicrous
in the extreme. Papa, at first sight at
the baggy garment, so feartully and Won
derfully made" burst into roar Of laugh
ter, and exclaimed, "Oh, my dear, how
could yo1 have the heart to do it? Why,
the poor little fellow won't know whether
he's going to school or coming home. ."--Lit

A QUAKER DEGREES JUsTCE-Gen
Schenck's resolution, introduced to-day,
making runaways from the draft, who have
gone to Canada, aliens, and requiring them
to be naturalized before they can again ex-
ercise the rights of citizenship, is good but
old. Congress will undoubtedly enact the
law, but decision in advance has already
been given by competent authority.
"Thee has no right to vote" said a good
old Quaker Judge of Election in Warren
county, Ohio, to would-be voter at the
late election. What do you mean ?"
stormed the astounded devotce of the
Great Unready" 81 mean thee is not a
voter thee is not a citizen of this State"
"Why, you old fool, | was born in this
county, and have lived here all my life, and
there's nobody knows it better than you !"
:" Thee is mistaken, my friend Thee was
born here, it is true | know thy father be-
fore thee, and a good man he was little
thought his son would be such a thing
but thee hasn't lived here all thy life Thee
slipped away about the time of the draft
thee went to Canada, and neither paid thy
three hundred dollars, if thee was opposed
to fighting, nor took thy musket, if thee
wasn't but thee became a citizen of for
eign country and thee can't vote here"
The McClellanite raved, but the Quaker
Judge was inhexibe. The McClellanite de.
clared there was no law for such deci.
sion, and he would prosecute him but the
Quaker was calm. "Thee may be right
about the technical language of the law; l
do not pretend to say but thee went to
Canada, and / am clear IN ma cOnuictiOnS
Thee CAN'T VOTE y And he didn't That

BhTTLE-WORN BANNERS.

I saw the soldiers come to-day,
From battlefield afar;
No conquerer rode before their way
On his triumphant car,
But captains. like themselves, on foot,
And banners sadly torn,
All grandly eloquent though mute,
IN pride and glory borne.
Those banners, soiled with dirt and smoke,
And rent by shot and shell,
That through the ser1ied phalanx broke
What terrors they could tell!
What tales of sudden pain and death
In every cannons boom,
When even the bravest held their breath
And waited for his doom.
BY hands of steel these flags were waved
Above the carnage dire,
Almost destroyed, yet always saved,
Mid battle-clouds and fire
Though down at times, still up they rose
And kissed the breeze again,
Dread token to the rebel foes
OF true and loyal men.
And here the true and loyal still
Those famous banners bear;
The bugles wind, the flies blow shrill,
And clash the cymbalS, where
With decimated ranks they come,
And through the crowded street
March to the beating of the drum,
With firm though weary feet.
God bless the soldier! cry the folk
Whose cheers of welcome swell;
God bless the banners black with smoke,
And torn by shot and shell!
They should be hung on sacred shrines,
Baptised with grateful tears,
And lived embalmed in poesy's lines,
Through all succeeding years.
No grander trophies could be brought
By patriot sire or son,
OF glorious battles nobly fought,
Brave deeds sublimely done,
And 50, to-day, Glanced with pride
And solemn JOY to see,
These remnants from the bloody tide
OF glorious victory!

sA- He that waits to do a great deal of
good at once will never do anything. Life
is made up of little things. 1t is very
rarely that an occasi) IN is offered for doing
great deal at once. True greatness con-
sists in being great in little things Drops
make the ocean, and the greatest works
are done by Titles. If we would do much
good in the world, we must be willing to
do good in little things
