taken in any other way. The kslp would
interfere with nets and they never take

Moses, Wife.

A clerical gentleman from whom the
Drawer is always pleased to hear sends
the following:
As was paying pastoral visits some
years ago, in the State Of Tennessee, a
lady said to me,
'sI'm very glad you've come. | was
reading in the Bible the other day about
Moses marrying a niger, and wish
you would explain the matter:

like Semiramis, who led out her ow,
armies, and knew how to gain victory
But when Moses was sent with thir

A Cremation Esegy

[De mortuis not ev en- bones.
s'Where is thy grave, my love, l want to
weep" [Festus.
The chimney stack through which my
love has flown
Be sacred now with all perpetual fires !;
Her ashes, shrouded in the hollow urn,
Are all that's left of dead loves fond
desires.
How oft when wandering near this hallow-
ed spot
And thinking of the days that are no
more,
MY yearning eyes shall seek yon chimney
Thro' which sweet Euen's volatiles did
pour.
Sweet, carbon, love ammonia, water fine
HO, co, OH; of dantiest mold,
Are all she was; alb where for then repine,
Since not for aye the chemic forces hold!
We powers that keep above the silent dead,
Your everlasting speeches watch and
That thaw the frost that binds so dear a
head,
That melt the golden bowl, the silver
cord.
TO you, ye viewless spirits Of the air,
Cohesion, chemi cal affinity,
Straight have yielded up my Ellen fair,
To act upon her sweet divinity.
And you, my brothers, when my days are
ended,
Iprav you this last favor for me do,
All | lay my body there, whence she as
cended,
To fly up through the ilue up which sh'
flew.

her parent and her aged cousin. She
shed no tears. heaved not a single sigh, and
suffered herself to be led to the window

Rotten row

A correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from London OF this famed, falsely |
named street, says:
The Row is the general rendezvous. The |
people on horseback are always pretty
sight, or at least the horses are but the
most wonderful part Of tbs show is the
people who sit on chairs on the path un-
der the trees or make believe to walk, for
movement in such squash is almost hope
less, and the promenaders scarcely do more
than g mark time," as the soldiers some
times do. The scene is like panorama
from the fashion books. Every style of
costume is paraded for inspection, and the
long line unfolds that an endless ribbon Of
rainbow hues. It is impossible not to be
struck by the increase Of brightness and
picturesqueness in the female attire of to-
day, compared With what it was few
years ago.
Modern dress, however, if more brilliant
and striking is, it must pc admitted, scarce
ly so modest as it used to be, and it would
seem to be chiefly designed with the OBJ
ject of at once covering and discovering
the figure. The closely fitting dress Of the
fourreau type is almost universally adopt
ed, and offers somewhat aggressive chal-
lenge to theeye. There may be a piquancy
in its boldness, but it certainly detracts
from the soft and tender grace of woman
hood. The tight clinging robe OF diapha-
nous gossamer, which is appropriated to
the semi-nudity Of evening dress, is still
more alarming. There are many indica.
tons of the possession Of wealth, and the
multiplication of sudden fortunes. The
pace of social competition grows more
furious, and good taste is sacrificed to the
ostentation which compels remark if not
respect.
Rouge seems to be coming more COM
monty into use for fair cheeks. The foo.-
mans powdered hair is becoming the rule
rather than the exception, and everybody
who chooses sports cockade on the men
servants hats. Until lately powder was
regarded as an exclusive badge Of an old
and distinguished family, and parvenu

served; but all these distinctions are now
perhaps very naturally, being swept away
and the only limit to what people may do
if they choose, is the length of theil
purses. All the rich people in the countr,
come to town for at least few weeks Of
months to spend their money.
