The Modern Belle.
BY J. G. SAKE.


The daughter sis in the parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair;
She's clad in her silks and satins,
And jewels are in her hair.
She winks, and giggles, and shippers,
And shippers, and giggles, and winks,
And thong h she talks but little,
'Tis vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in his russell,
And ragged and seedy at that,
His coats are all out at the elbow,
And he wears a most shocking bad hat.
He's boarding and saving his shillings
So carefully day by day,
While she, on her beaux and poodles,
Is throwing them all away.
She lies abed in the morning,
Till nearly the hour of noon;
Then comes down swapping and snarling
Because she was called so soon.
She doats upon men unshaven,
And men with GLOWING hair
She's eloquent over mustaches-
'They give such a foreign air
She talks of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon,
And though but mouse should meet her,
She sinks away in swoon.'
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are so very white;
Her jewels are so very heavy,
And her head is so very light.
Her color is made Of cosmetics,
Though this she never will own;
Her body's made mostly of cotton,
Her hearts made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with fellow,
Who struts with foreign air;
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair.
One of the very best Matches
Both are well mated in life;
She's got fool for husband,
And he's got fool for q wife!

Twenty miles at least, Of The Pacific

That road, We predict, will b. popular
for bridal tours. II is one ofths great
drawbacks Of tho young bride and groom
that SO many drearY miles OF roilroad
travel muat be endured in such strict
propriety. True, there is the excuse Of
fatigue; bat the Pallid little bonntt which
swings fsom the hook over tho window
is a continual advertisement that the
lady is bride, and that she has some
other motive than fatigue for resting he;

Repeat Of the Coffes Tor.

Repeal Of the coffe~ Tar.
An important bill Is pending In Congress CALI
ed the Cotton Bill, which proposes to repeal al
tar on cotton In the hands Of the producer.
Several amendments have been offered and de-
bassd. but the Senate have not yet acted on them.
the most important Of those amendments limi-
ting that repeal to raw cotton, uncontrolled for.
raised during the coming year. It's undisputed
that the present tax, yielding an internal reve-
nue. Of s27 .OOO. 900. is Oppressive to the Produo-
ton Of cotton, but We believe that tho finances
Of the country win be seriously damaged BY its
repeal. Why should the production Of cotton Be
the favored interest Of the government to the
disparasement Of other branches Of industry
equally demanding aid from oppressive taxationf
Why not repeal all the internal taxes which bear
20 heavily upon our ship building interests, and
which our able representative from this District
(Nir. Lynch) is laboring 50 earnestly to benefit !!
That Il should be REDUCED, perhaps one half, or
to sl5. zoo. 90. Is quite evident; but from the
arguments in favor Of its total repeal ws can
CLEAN no reasons that do not equally apply to
Any other branches Of taxed industry. The
South is less able to bear taxation than the North.
but that is no reason that Il should not partici-
pate in the burdens of the country to the extent
Of its ability. and the truism is as applicable to
our industry as another. and in one section as
another, that no tax should be levied 80 high as
to cripple its production. We are very much
pleased with the practical and statesmanlike view
taken upon this subject in fellowship with the
above, by our Senator Pessenden.
