Tie Gsrecinm ERend.

A New York correspondent Of the
Sacramento Union has given full des-
cription of the female complaint known
as the "Grecian Bend" which we re-
produce for the beueftofany poor cre1-
ture hereabout who may be afflicted
with this spreading malady
"When first your correspondent
heard Of the Grecian Bend, in the inno-
cency Of his heart and tle antiquity of
his ideas, be thought it referred to arch
cry practice, including the drawing of
the long bow by the newspaper cores
pondents at these watering places.
. Then 1t occurred to him that it might
mean that graceful action by which a
nan in tight fitting habiiiment5 gets at
bis pocket-book-a gentle stoop to pre-
pare the pocket for the insertion of the
digitals. As this is the most frequent
action at our watering places, it seemed
proper that it should possess a studied
grace. But this is not the Grecian
Bend. Not to keep your readers long
er in suspense, here IS what the newe st
accomplishment OF our belle aad beau
ties really is You must know in the
first place that the very extreme of the
present Paris toilette prevails at Sara.
loga, Newport and the other fashion,
able summer escorts this season. The
most striking features are theIchignon,
worn on the top of the head, from
which two long switches of loose hair
depend, hanging from each side of the
centre down the back.
The "pannier" is worn.at the top OF
the hoop, and around and upon it are
gathered five or six yards Of material,
forming what is called 'bIanchisseuse,
or washerwoman' style. A band en-.
circles the wearer ships, just below this
monstrous hump, aud the dress below
falls straight to the feet. To relieve
this straightness and to give effect to
the hump aforesaid, the bellies assumed
what is called the Grecian Bend. This
is performed, says a fashion critic, "by
pulling the lower hips uptoa point even
with the lower ribs, drawing the stom.
ach and in throwing the shoulders for
ward, with the hands dropping from
the upraised elbows, like the paws of
a dancing bear, or, to use polite SIM
lie, "like the shaking quakers in
dance" When the whole affair is car
ried out in a Dance says a correspond
ent, 'by a gay and luxuriant youth,
with his hair parted in the middle,
placing his right arm under the left of
the lady, with the fingers extended as
in a spasm between the shoulder blades,
while with the thumb and second fin
ger ofthe other hand he holds her wrist,
leaving the hand to hang ifeessly pen
dent, we have an exhibition of snob-
bishness and cockneyism which must
put all sensible Americans to the blush ,"

Life and Death.

Ofhow little apparent consequence
is one individual life in this world Of
teeming millions. One after another
drop from among the crowd, the gap
closes, the throng moves on, and the
absent are forgotten-save by few
fond and loving hearts who keep their
memory fresh and green, till they in
turn are called to "take their place
within the silent balls of Death"
What an impressive lesson upon the
vanity of human aspirations! Men toll
for honor, or power, or wealth, or fame
something which will distinguish
them above their fellows--when in
few brief hours, or days, or years, at
most, they shall have passed away, leav-
ing scarce a memory even in the myriad
hearts that still toll and waste their en-"
ergies in the same unsatisfying round.
Oh, it is in the hour of death alone
that life assumes its true significance!
Standing upon the verge OF another
world and looking back from that SOL
emn tand-point, the spiritual vision,
cleared from the mists of earth, sees
things in their true proportions; and
the loftiest pursuits and attainments,
which are merely earthly in their scope
and aim, dwindle into utter nothing
ness in comparison with those which
are heavenward and immortal. How
slow we are to learn the things
which pertain to our everlasting peace,
though such apt scholars in the worlds
lore. The present and the temporal
engross our thoughts to the exclusion
of the future and eternal. The children
of this world are in their generation
wiser than the children of light. Pri-
vation and toll, and WEAKNESS, and anx-
ious days and sleepless nights, and sick
ness and peril-all have been cheerfully
encountered to attain someIposs BILE goo1
in the far off future. But the golden
prize which lies within the reach ofall,
which will secure every needed bless
ing, smoothing ife's thOrnyIpathway
bearing the soul triumphantly above
the waves of death, and lighting the
parting spirit with peaceful radiance
to the celestial shores beyond, with
what utter indifference the multitude
regard it; how few put forth the hand
to attain it! The glomour fsin is ov-
er their eyes, and the Circean song is
in their ears, Turing them on to destruc.
ton; for the syren has woven her spell
with resistless power which nothing
but Divine grace can overcome.
Should not our prayers ascend with
out ceasing for those who are still on
the broad way that leads to everlasting
death? Goods arm is not shortened
that it cannot save, nor his ear heavy
that it cannot hear" Should we not
, 90 out into the highways and hedges,
r and, with importunate earnestness and
zeal which will take no denial, en-
treat them to come in7 The Gospel
feast is spread for all. "Whosover will,
let him take ofthe water Of life freely"

MY WIFE's HAND.

Every night when the stars come out,
And the birds have gone to rest
A little hand like a cooling dove,
Nestles about my breast.
Smoothes my forehead and pats my cheeks
Passes its fngertips
Over my cye-lids and through my hair,
Lingering on my lips.
Clings to my neck and clasps my arm,
Till tired Of its caress,
And fallen asleep within my own,
That pure white hand press.
Many year has come and gone;
The little hand is cold
Children's children are on my knee,
And | am growing old.
Yet, each night, as the stars cSmc out,
And near the heavenly land,
l feel as felt in my early days,
The touch of that gentle hand.
