The Model Boy.
From the Danbury News

~~e@A~S~~J
is said there is boy in Concord,
N. H who can repeat the multiplication
table backwards, and he is only nine
years old.
We know that boy. We were never
in Concord, but We know him. We
lived next door to that boy when we
were boy, and 1t is not SO long ago
but that we remember him distinctly -
He always went to bed at eight O'Clock,
and had slight cough. He brushed
his hair back of his ears, and carried a
store handkerchief, and when he played
marble it was to win. He always got
home before we did, and employed the
interval in detailing to his mother the
"belting" that boy next door was get
ting And indeed we were getting it,
but there was no special interest in it
for other folks. He was the model 10y,
the boy our parents used to point to,
and speak of, in tones Of mingled ad-
miration and regret, while uniting US
for sitting on anything harder than a
poultice He never ran away from
school, nor stole money, but he used to
throw mud on old people, when they
wern't looking, and unselfisbly throw
the credit on us. And then to see that
boy come around into our yard with
jam on bis bread. That was the last
feather--that was the climax to all the
sorrows our young heart knew. We
could have willingly forgiven everything
else, but that jam upset us. 1t wen,
right down into our heart of hearts,
and it rankles there yet. 1t sent us into
the house bawling for jam, and getting
| it; but not on our bread We remember
that with ghastly distinctness.

TO LEAVE NO TRACK OF THEE

TO LEAVE NO TRACK OF THEI
Alone walked the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand;
stopped and wrote upon the sand
My name-theyear-the day,
As onward from the spot passed,
One lingering look behind cast
Awave came rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away.
And so me thought twill shortly be
With every mark on earth from me,
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
Of time, and been, TO be no more;
Of me, my frame, the namc bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sanis,
And holds the waters in His hands,
know lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name,
Of all this mortal part has wrought,
Of all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these feeting moments caught
For glory or for shame.

SPRING..

How fresh, o Lordl how sweet and clean
Are thy returns cen as the flowers of Spring;
To which, besides their own demean,
The late past frost tributes of pleasure bring,
Grief melts away
Like SHOWS in May,
As if there were no such cold thing.
Who would have thought my shriveled heart
Could have recovered greennessl It was gone
Quite under ground; as flowers depart
To see their MOTHERHOOD, when they have
blown,
Where they together
Ali the hard weather
Dead to the world, keep house unknown.
Oh! that once past changing were,
Past in thy Paradise, where no flower can
wither!
May Spring shoot up fair,
Offer at heaven, growing and groaning
hither;
Nor doth my flower
Want Spring shower
My sins and joined together
And now in age bud again.
After so many deaths live and write;
once more smell the dew and rain,
And relish versing, oh! my only light.
It cannot be
That am he
On whom thy tempests fell at night.
These are thy wonders, Lord of love,
To make us see we are but flowers that
glide;
Which when we once can find and prove
Thou hast garden for US, where to hide,
Who would be more,
Swelling through store,
Forfeit their Paradise through their pride. :.

Dress Materials.

With sense of relief we turn from
the dark, heavy winter goods-albei,
they were so lovely in their season-to
the display of lighter fabrics, in whose
tender colors Spring draws nearer and
evokes visions of the bright days 10
come.
First, desirable for the early spring
season, we have cashmere in all the new
shades, to be Used for entire costumes
and in combination With silk of cor
responding color.
Then we have light qualities of serge
these for the earliest season-and an
improved quality of all-wool delaine,
which is shown in the plain fabric, OF
besprinkled with white polka dots, or
those of a darker shade than the
ground
In silks, all the quaint lovely colors
of last Autumn are presented, but mod.
flied and rendered more delicate as be
fits the season.
Black silks are always fashionable,
and it is hardly necessary to say any
thing in their recommendation. 1t
would be impossible In this place to at
tempt to give any adequate idea of the
different qualities and brands that are in
the market; their name is legion. 1t is
always mistaken economy to purchase
poor black silk Always select we'll
known, thoroughly tested brand and
pay the price for it, if you would have
satisfaction in your purchase, Rather
dispense with elaborate garniture and
fpSs the price ef it in your silk.
White goods will be in greater de.
mand than ever-canbric, jaconet, Vic
toria lawn, organdie. swiss, and the hun.
dred other varieties with distinctive
names, but differing so slightly from
eacE other as to provoke the inquiry
"what's in a name p
White dotted and embroidered swiss
is promised as the novelty; also swiss
with embroidered polka dots in color,
which will bring back memories of
childhood's days when the same style
was so fashionable. Prices for white
dress goods range about the same as
last season
FASHIONABLE TRIMMINGS.
Flounces still reign e-eminent -
Flounces wide and narrow, separately,
and in combination; founces bias, and
founces straight; foubces gathered,
side-plaited, box plated, plated in Sec
tions, alternate sections of plaits and
gathers; fohnces scslloped, vandyked,
mitred, plain, hemmed, bound, ed ,eG
with lace, fringe or narrow ruffles; and
lastly, the one that approaches nearest
to novelty, the "circle' founce, which,
being cut bias in circle shape, has no
fulness at the top, and hangs full at the
bottom after the manner of circle cape.
