I saw her totteringsa ad@n the Street ~ :
With pallid face and trembling feet;
Her shrunken form you scarce would
Her wretchedness had changed her so.
The form developed once so ell,
Had lost its regal stately swell;
The queenly bust, the fair white brow
And graceful poise, had vanished now.
I met her in palatial halls
Long time ago, at brilliant balls,
saw her moving inAhe dance, 4
Withgraee neart eopldee er enhance.
And there was 6tio Who Il 3 seemed 70 me & =
AS good as men ere get to be;
Who watched her from the curtains
screen
With loving, yet despairing mien.
Another clasped her taper waist
With bold and yet persuasive grace;
And gazed into those eyes of blue-----
With meaning that more subtle grew.
To gain her love his "life he'd give"
The tend! he was not fit to live;
Malicious flsehood, told he there,
TO send his rival to despair.
Woes me that poor con6ding girl,
So guileless mid that giddy whirl

All follow in the demons wake
He woos thee now, but to forsake."
But alb the viper's honeyed hiss
Dispels all fear his tainting kiss :.
The rival sees-his pale lips move. -

From maid or wife their sweetest smiles.
But oRk. thefei Is q God whose frown,
Will strike the foul betrayer down;
Will sink him to the lowest hell

Than earth with all Its virtue knows.
Poor Magdalcn, at Jesus feet,
In faith take now thy lowly seat;
Bedow them with each falling tear
And wipe them with thy golden hair.

And henceforth make thee pure and

AUSTRIAN WoMEN.-Women in

layers l~aborers, and may be seen
carrying hods of mortar and baskets
Of bricks up high ladders. More
than this, they actually supply the
place Of navvies, and dig and wheel

their lords. They chop wood, they
carry water, they offer to black yonr
boots in the street, aud perform
many other offices, which. according
to a notions, hardly come under the
denomination Of "woman'sn work.
Perhaps this state OF things is un-
avoidabie IN a country where it is
considered necessary to keep a stand

women work inordinarly hard, while
hundreds of idle men arc constantly
sauntering about in various uniforms,
doing nothing at all; except, perhaps,
blowing a cloud of tobacco smoke.
