Curious Fashions.

The curiosities o! fashion which glitter
and fash from throat, ear, wrist and fngcr
which adoru the roundly stuffed chignon

most enduring of all its paraphernalia.

of what absurdtics will we Ge convicted !!

TO MY MOTHER.

I'm lonely tonight, dear Mother,
My heart is aching for thee,
For the hours Of JOY and gladness
In childhood | spent at thy knee.
Five years my heart has mourned thee,
Five years I've missed thy love,
And wandered sad and lonely
With grief no Joy could move.
Oh ! tell, il in Heaven
The angels there will know,
The trials aud temptations
Which bcfall those hre below
Tell me, hast thou seen my anguish
Didst thou see my tears of woe,
While those clouds of murkv darkness
Round my pathway foated low2
Hast thou seen me wandering lonely,
Out intn n fricndlcss worlds
Hast thou seen my cry for pity
Back upon my heart-strings hurled
Dost thou know how morn and noOntde,
Aye! and at the sunsets glow,
That my heart for thee is aching?
Oh my Mother, dost thou know 2
Tell me, Mother, if thou knowost
In the future dark and drear,
VIII there be for me no gladness?
Will the morning near appear?
Or VIII Night, the Sabled goddess,
Ever haunt me with her gloOm2
Till my body, cold and life,ess,
Will sleep low within the tomb
Sometimes, at the hour Of midnight
When the world was hushed hnd still,
have seen glorious vision,
Which made my pulses thrill;
1t was then, | felt thy presence
Like a spirit lowering near,
Aud in the 81 um aud darkness
Thy form would then appear.
White robcd, star-crowncd and lovely,
Like an Angel of Mercy sent
To cheer me irtm my sorrow,
To breathe in my soul content"
Then Mother, nv angel Molher,
From ont thy starry home
Look down aud guide thy children
While from thee we re called to roam.
Let thy spirit ever near us
Keep and guide US from the wrong,
So that when "Our Father" calls MS
We may meet the bloOd-washed thruug.
Meet our Brother, meet our Mother,
Meet " all those who We gone before"
Meet our God, aud praise Him ever
On the bright, eternal shore.
