Egyptian Walters.

Taking an early morning walk, !
came upon company of "Wailers,"
(about twenty women,) whose bust
ness is to wall the dead. They were
walking slowly, wearing black silk
mantles over their heads, their faces
muffled, their two eyes only visible.
AT that early hour there were few
persons in the street, and heard their
bowling long before they came in sight.
To obtain an idea of it, get together
twenty of yourfemale acquaintances--
those who have sharp, shrill voices
clothe them in black, muffle their faces,
make them pitch their voices on a
high key, tell them to initiate the
howl of hyenas, the yawl Of tom-cats,
the growing of young puppies, the
barking Of wolves, the blare Of calves,
and any other howls or feminine
growls; let one start it and the rest
join in chorus, bowling till out of
breath. While gaining strength for a
new trial, let them laugh and chat to-
gether, and then give way to another
uncomfortable outburst of grief
This is no modern custom, but old
rs the pyramids. When Jacob died,
Joseph aud his brethren and the Egyp-
tians wept for him seventy days, and
when they went up to Hebron to lay
him in the cave at Machpelab, they
mourned at Atad ga very great and
sore lamentation'-just such bowling
as that described. 1t is contrary to
European IDEAS Of grief, but the
Oriental is dramatic, and so he mourns
with loud bowling.
The hired walters recite the virtues
of the deceased, praising with extrav.
agant eulogy. They praise much or
little, howl loud or soft, according to
the amount Of baksheeSh But we
must refrain from calling the practice
absurd, lest we tread on the toes of
those who in Christian lands some
tim make dumb show of grief by a
long procession of empty carriages.
But enough for to-day y.-Cdrleton.

April has searched the winter land,
Aud found her petlei flowers again
She kissed them 10 unfold their leaves,
She ccaied them with her sun and rain,
And Allied the grass with green content
And made the woods and clover vain.
Her fairies climb the naked trees
And set green cups on every stalk
Her primroses peep bashiully
From borders Of the garden walk
And in the reddened maple tops
Her blackbird gossips cit and talk.
she sets the patient evcrgrccns
She gets a store Of ancient gold,
Gives tasselled presents to the breeze,
And teaches rivers songs Of Old
Then shakes the trees with stolen March winds,
And laughs to hear the cuckoo seold.
Sometimes, to fret the sober sun,
She pulls the clouds across his face
But finds snow drift in the woods,
Grows meek again and prays his grace;
Waits till the last white wreath is gone,
And drops arbutus in the place.
Her erocuses and violets
Give all the world a gay "Good Year J"
Tail irses grow tired Of green,
And get themselves purple gear;
And tiny buds that lie and sleep
On hill and field, her summons hear.
She rocks the saucy meadow cupsj
The sunsets heart anew she dyes;
She flls the dusk Of deepest woods
With vague sweet sunshine and surprise,
And wakes the perwinkles up
To watch her with her wide blue eyes.
Al last she deems her work is done,
And finds willow rocking-chair,
Dons spectaeles Of apple-buds,
Korchief and cap Of almonds rare,
And sits, very grandmother,
Shifting her sunshine-needles there.
Aud when she sees the deeper suns
That usher in the happy May,
She signs to think her time is past,
And weeps because she cannot stay,
And leaves her tears upon the grass,
And turns her face, and gides away.

~THE LOVE OF MONEY"


II 20 the lust for gold, not gold itself, Tr
That is the root from which all evil springs
The souls idolatry to wealth that brings
A multitude Of curses in its train;
When man gives his best energies to gain
Shuts from HE heart all better, nobler things,
And day by day closer to Mammon clings,
Till honest thrift dsgenerates TO pelf,
'Tis then the blessing, gold, becomes a snare
The root Of evil, from whose fibres grow
The tree Of misery, whose branches bear
The bitter fruits Of wretchedness and woe.
Strive with all diligence to FL thy purse
But honestly, lest it should prove thy curse.

Z, this time very decided, and that you are much
7esrer summer than We are distant from winter
However. one thing lie Toilet asserts positively
and that s that the short costume is 20 be mach
if not more than ever preferred for walking dress
Many pretty materials suitable for bright spring
weather are beginning 10 be shown-Touldrd 10
dffere nj sly les, etc. The wide stripes are much
in vogue. and also spot dresses are mentioned As
likely 10 be worn once more. after having been
so long cut of fssniOn. Ideed La Mode sees
msny changes. But few years since women
we're reproscbed with eudeavOring TO initiate the
opposite sex IN their costume now IL ia altogether
the reverse. All the late changes have tended to
bring feminine toilet more and more to the "Marie
ADtOinette," the - Vatican" or Pompadour y
style, flowers, lace, ETC., all regaining their
former favor. OF course, as is always the case,
the true woman of eleganceknows how 10 choose
what is becoming in every novelty, thus neither
making herself eccentric by Der total reie;tion Of
1t. nor by her adoption of it in all its extrava.
gance. Although the bonnets are, II possible, be-
coming smaller each month, there Is still effort
made by some nlOdistes 10 reIntroduce the bonnet
of former days; and it is certain that by skilfui
hands such elegant c0lttTes will be made OF
which ladies who no longer possess the freshness
of youth, and TO whom the eccentric fashions of
the present day are very trying, will gladly avail
themselves. The very graceful "mantiila y
bonnet. when made of real lace Is almost univer.
sally becoming, but is of course confined CON.
psrstvely TO the few, as the price of real lace
places it beyond the reach Of great numbers; it
is, however, frequently made OF Lulle edged with
lace, which has a good effect. Care should be
taken to choose the flower or ornament to suit the
dress and complexion OF the wearer. Frequently

OLD hen Wade. Cabinet.
Especial dispatch to th. New York Herald

Especial dispatch to the New York HERALD
WASHINGTON, April PA radical caucus was
held at the house of Senator Morgan Of New
York, on Saturday night, TO decide upon the
claims of the numerous aspirants for a Sc AZ in Old
Ben Wade's cabinet after he enters the White
House.
The first position that came up for discussion
was the secretary ship of the treasury department
which was claimed for New YORK, and rs New
England also wanted that position, the two int.
rests combined against Mr.. Ward. of Detroit. 10
whom Wade has promised the place. As no salts.
factory conclusion could be "a ned the treasury
was passed over; but the hope was entertained
hat compromise might be effected and that the
president that Is to be might be induced TO set
aside his preference for his Detroit friends and as
New York would have the rich pickings of the
custom house and postOhice, she, too, might De
prevailed upon to give way to the claims OF New
England.
The postofice department came next under
consideration, and without discussion it was con-
ceded TO Pennsylvania
The war department was next taken up. but
upon the announcement being made on authority
that Mr.. Stanton would remain Temporarily in the
Office, the subject was dropped.
Butler, II was announced, wanted the treasury
department, but as there was no settlement aud
no certainty about that position, he was proposed
for secretary of state. The name Of Admiral
Porter, who Is now At Annapolis experimenting
he Naval Academy, was seat in by General Grant
for Secretary OF the navy. All conceded that the
appointment would be a good one, and as NO
other name was offered, Porter was sckno wledged
10 be the man. Grants object was evidently to
head of Butler, who, he has reason TO believe,
would grab at the navy department if he failed in
getting either into the state treasury Offices.
Gov rDor Fenton was urged for the interior de-
partment, but he was entirely ruled out, aud has
therefore no chance for place in the
cabinet. Wade wants to take a man from the
Pacific coast for secretary of the interior, bat no
name was presented.
The attorney generalship was ignored, nothing
having been said about it, The next caucus will
be held one evening this week, when the cabinet
positions will be more fully discussed.
