Pretty Women.

Life becomes more harmonious, it beats
with a keener pulse of enjoyment, in the
presence of pretty women. After all,
charming little figure, piquant little face,
is the best remedy for half the ills in ex-
istence, its worries, its veXations, its dull
ness, its disappointments. And even in
the large and more placid types of beauty,
in the beauty of a Lady Dumbello, if there
is a tinge of stupidity, there is at any rate
an atmosphere of rcpose, a genial influence
moulding our social converse and habits
into gentler shapes. 1t is amusing to see
how the prettiness of woman tells on her
dress, how the order and propriety Of her
dress tell on her home The pursuit of
beauty, the habit of prettiness, give an
ideal of dignity to the very arrangement of
her bonnet-strings. In every movement,
i'll the very sweep Of her ample folds, in
the pose of her languor, in the gay start of
her excitement, one feels the softening,
harmonizing influence of her last look in
the glass. She may be gay OF sorrowful,
or quiet or energetic, but she must be
pretty. Beauty exercises an imperceptible
compulsion over her, which moulds her
whole life into graceful and harmonious
forms. Her dress rises out of the mere
clothing of man into regions of science,
of poetry, of art. A thousand considera-
lions of taste, harmonies of color, con-
trasts, correspondence, delicate adjust
ments of light and shade, dictate the choice
Of shawl or the tint Of glove. And as
prettiness tells on dress, it tells on the
home. Flowers, pictures, the gay notes Of
a sonata, the contest of couches, gorgeous
hues of Indian tapestry, gless-work of
Murano, hundred exquisite something's
and nothings, are the natural setting of
pretty women. The art of the boudoir
tells on all but the chaos Of the husbands
study. Around that last refuge of barbar-
ism floats an atmosphere of taste and refine
ment in which the pretty little wife lives
and moves and has her being. And from
this tone of the home grows the tone of
society, the social laws of good humer, of
propriety, of self-restraint, of consideration
for Others of gentleness, of vivacity. The
very hush of the rough tones that have
Numbered over Peloponnese as Pericles
bends over Aspasia, the little turns and
delicacies Of phrase, the joyous serfdoms
and idledess of the manifest and most en-
ergetic of men, tell of the triumph of pretty
women.

My MOcking-Bird.

Mocking-bird, mocl,ing Bird swinging high
Aloit in your @ildod cage.
The clouds are hurrying over the sky,
The wild winds lercely rage.
But soft and warm is The air you breathe
Up there with the trcmulous ivy wreath;
And never an icy blast can chill
The pcrfImcd silence sweet and still
Mocl;ing. bird. Moching-bird, from your
throat
Breaks forth no Hood of song.
Nor even perfect golden mole,
Triumphant, glad, and strong.
But now and then 4 pitiul wall,
Like the plaintivc sigh of the dying gale.
Comes from that arching breast of thine,
Swinging up there with the ivy vine.
Mocking- bird! Mocking-bird. well | know
Your heart is far away,
Where the golden stars of the jasmine
glow.
And the roses bloom AWAY!
For your cradlc-ncst was softly made
In the depth of a blossoming myltle's
shade;
And You heard the chant of the southern
seas,
Borne inland by the favoring breeze.
But all, my beautiful mocking-bird,
Should l bear you back again,
Never would song of yours be heard
Echoing through the glen,
For once, ah. once, at the dawn of day.
You walked to the roar of the deadly fray,
When the terrible clash Of armed foes
Startled the vale from its dim repoSe.
At first you sat on swaying bough,
Mocking the buglc's blarc,
Fearless and free in the fervid glow
OF the the heated, sulphurous air.
Your voice rang out like trumpct's note,
With a martial ring in its upward float,
And stern men smiled, for you seemed to be
Cheering them on to victory.
But at length, as the awful day wore on,
You flew to the trec-top high,
And sat like Il spectre grim and wan, .
Outlined against the sky;
Sat silently watching the fiery fray
Till heaps upon heaps the Blue and Gray
Lay together. silent band,
Whose souls had passed to the shadowy
land.
All, my hooking bird, swinging there
Under the ivy vine,
You still remember the bugle's blare,
And the blood poured forth like wine!
The soul of song in your gentle breast
Died in that hour of fierce unrest,
When, like a spectre grim and wan,
y GU watched to see how the strife went on.

SAFETY PETROLEUM LAMP.-A new
lamp for burning petroleum has recently
been introduced in Germany, which is said
to have many important peculiurities. The
essential feature Of the lamp consists in Il
reservoir of water in the upper portion
nearest the flame, so that the badly of the
oil is not exposed to the danger of being
heated by. proximity to the burning wick.
The petroleum is in u reservoir below,
and the pressure of the water forces it.
drop by drop, up Though a tube to the
wick, supplying it exactly in proportion to
the rapidity of combustion. The arrange
ment of the lamp is such that, if overturned
by any accident, the water overflows The
burning wick and puts out the flame I'M
medintely. 1t is claimed that when filled
with two pounds of petroleum, and having
Il wick three -fourths of IN inch in width, it
will burn from sixty to eighty hours: con-
sequently, needing to be filled only once in
from ten to fourteen days. Another al
legged advantage is that the wick can be
turned down very low without emitting any
of that offensive smell which always
| characterizes the ordinary petroleum lamps
under similar circumstances.
