my splendid darling, listened to her
and watched her, with what pride who
can tell ? until the last act, when the
curtain falls upon her in tableau-with
hands crossed upon her breast, with
tender eyes appraised, the whole wealth
of her pale golden hair falling in one
curling, misty cataract down to her
waist, the innocence of angels radiating
from her, and yelling her girlish form
with gentle grace, SO wonderfully
pure, so tenderly touching. Through
the happy tears that filed my eyes /
saw halo encircle her like rainbow,
aud then the curtain fell and / heard
scream from some woman in the audi

upon my check and shoulder had

maddening rhythm of love, was now
" half gray, half ruined gold" She

promises of reunion in that world

House, MOttOes,

Among the Old-WOrld customs which
are fast disappearing is that of carving
notices IN the walls of houses, frequent
instances of which yet remain in Swift
zerland, Germany, and the Tyrol. The
more ancient of these notices are
quaint and significant. They were
copied and improved upon in houses of
more modern build, until they degcn-
Grated into matters of fashion on
caprice with no special meaning. A
writer in the Cornhill Magazine has
collected a number from the more
ancient homes in which they still exist,
and embalmed them in literature.
They are piOus, cOmical, simple, on
symcal. The inscriptions defeating
the house to God, to the VIRGIN, or to
some fayOrite saint, are naturally the
most numerous. They frequently CON
sist of but two lines, roughly rhymed.
Sometimes they extend to four or even
six lines. Here We have two:
The Lord this dwelling be about
And bless all who so in and out.
Another:
Mother of God, with gracious arm
Protect our beasts and ua from harm
The two that follow teach trust in
God as 1.-The only sure hold-fast on
earth
The love of Gods the fairest thing,
The loyehest tins world can bring;
Who sets his heart elsewhere, IN vain
Hath lived nor may to Heaven attain
Another:
The help of man il mail.
Trust God alone for all.
The following is found in at least
half "A dozen villages Of North Tyrol
We build our houses strong aud wide,
Though here We may not long abide
Bnt for the great eternal rest
We take no Thought to build a nest
This, too, is in the same spirit
This house mine own may moi call
Nor ia 1t this who follows me

o God whose may this dwelling be z
Some of the notices bear "a caustic
air:
