Very pretty chatelaines and their attach-

"A new fabric, made OF woven glass, has been

Low shoes and stockings Of gorgeous colorH

The mania for fashy imitation iewolry has
broken out among our; belleh again with great
viru1ence. There must bo a trace of semi-bar-
barism in American society, to accountfo this
Hottentotish taste.
For fnll-dress, gentlemen wear, instead OF
watch-chain, fob-ribbou, nfter the fashion of
their -grandfatherH, with seal attached, the
older-looking the better. This taste for old
jewolry is in opposition to ehoddyism, the object
being to show that the wearer is not the first Of
the family who ever possessed any jewelry.

THE SUICIDE.

Out in the night, with it's driving sfeet;
Out and alone in the dIrs, cold street;
Ont in the night, in the mist and rziE,
With bursting sigh and with g1oan OF pain,
She speeds along In her wild career.
The night is dark md the river ts near.
The storm is wild, but she does not heed:
The angry wind cannot stag her speed,
For wilder far than the storms unrest
The swelling tempest that rends her breast.
The bridge at last. Al! she rauses now.
Her cheek is blanched; and her long, dark hair
Streams wildly back on the chill night-air.
Her classy eyes are unwet with tears,
But In them lie the pent griefs Of years,
They tell OF wrong and Of PASSIONS strife,-
The sad, sad tale ofa bughted Life.
She looks aloft with 3 frended gaze;
No ray OF light through the darkness Gtraya-
She looks below The river is deep,
And swiftly on its dark waters sweep.
She gazes down With grief-fraught air;
As from her brow she daAhea away
The gtah,ring drops Of the stormy spray.
Along the river, many light
Bright homea there where those dim lights glow,
And hearts untaught in the Ways Of woe,
Who gaily chase the swift hours along
With thought1ess nnirth End with merry song.
There, brothers, sisters, and lovers meet
Ali what to them are the storm and sleet7
At home, secure in the warmth and light,
All what to them Ia the WTetch'a plight
Who, homeless, friend1esa, cold, and alone,
Stands hopeless there while the wild winds moan7
Oh, God in pity, sone aid impart
To that ore-bruised, that poor, broken heart!
Obi Is there notin th.t driving rain
One soothing drop for her boeom's patn2
In Earth OF Heaven is nothing near
To bid her pauze in her mad career7
Alb, no! deserted by al, she's there;
Een Heoveu fTowns On her Wild despair.
Well, lat 1t be. The las. p1unge Is DER!
The river rolls rs 1t rolled before.
The moaning winds Ioud around it roll
The last sad dtrge Of the dnner's eoul-
Oh! blame her not: aha was fair and fTail,
And pity weeps DER her nfes sad tale.

The chief use Of the Enstachian tube ia to

The serious business Of the feast appeared tn

And steals unhidden to her heart,
Unasked for and unsought:
A voice that whispers day by day
With eloQueuce divine;
From Paradise destined rny
Upon her path to shine:
