A few evenings since Detroit chap was
sparkling q West-side girl, who wore an
Elzabethan ruff Expecting his coming, she
had dressed for the occasion, aud her ruff,
stiff as an unrestricted use of satin starch
gloss could make it, was of the most stun
ming character The lover came at the Or
thOdox time, and was ushered into the
parlOr, where the enchanting maiden and
her father and mother were seated. He
was cordially received, and the evening
passed pleasantly, although the old folks
sat up good deal longer than the young
sters thought necessary. Finally they went
to bed. and the twain were left alone.
After a certain amount of preliminary bash
fulness the maiden assented to her lovers
request for kiss. He essayed to take it,
but was met at every point by q bristling
wall Of tarlatan and starch. He came up
to her in front, and was gouged in each eye.
He sidled up to her, and the right hand
prong cut of his ears half off. He attempted
to reach the prize over her shoulder, and
chevaux de frise of lace tickled his nose till
he was obliged to take seat and sneeze.
Then the maiden came to the rescue, aud
held down one side of the provoking ruff,
and again the lover advanced, Just as he
had all but reached her blooming cheek the
damsel lost her grip, and the razor-like de.
cOratiOn flew up with a force that took An
under bit out of his right ear" Then he
got mad. Then she got mad. Then they
both got mad, and an anticipated wedding
has come to premature end. 81

1t seems that by an act of July rs. 1870

National Songs.

The composer of "Wacht am Rhein,r who
has just died, was happy enough to enjoy
the full success and celebrity of bis cOmpO
sition. No such early tribute of national
recognition gladdened the ears of the com
poser of that far grander piece of wa,
music. the ''Marseillaise." The "Wacht am
Rhein' was not an Inspiration IF high artis-
tic genius, but it was an inspiration OF It,
kind, and it hit q long prevailing moo I
aud came to be the expression of the n
tional sentiment on the very eve of hattl 4
From the earliest days of the war in Fran
it superseded all the older and grea, "
hymns of German nationality. Long sf Au
events had definitively settled that thu
was no need of prstecting the Rhine, aT 4
long after the Watch" had left her to taIA
care Of herself and gone TO pursue tho
French into Paris, the strains of the popu
lar anthem still proclaimed in every city in
the world the resolve OF Germany to stand
by her river. Carlyle calls the "sMarseil
laise' the luckiest musical composition even
promulgated, the sounds of which will make
the blood tlngle in mems veins, aud whols
armies and assemblages will sing it with
eyes weeping and burning, with hearts def
ant of death, despet and devil" There is
none OF this passionate and stormy grandeur
about the ''Wacht am Rhein," which is only
at best song of encouragement and de.
tense. without passion or despair, and not
by any means up to the level of tie unpar
aieled national triumph which was await
ing Germany at thes time it began to be
popular. Still there can be little doubt it
will pass into public memory in association
with the events of 1870, as Arndt's song of
the German fatheriand is remembered in
of those Of 1913; as 'sPartant
pour la Syrie" is ,enshrined with Napoleon
ism, and "LillibulIero" brings with it recall

of inspiration and pleasure. Modesty is to
merit what shade is to figure in painting; it
gives it bOldness and prominence. Nothing
adds more to female beauty than modesty;
it sheds around the countenance halo Of
