brought up to us, two gentlemen whom we
had met a few evenings before had called
to see us, the first call by the way that
either of us had received from gentlemen,
so of course we were not only considerably
flattered but hustered. Our good aunt
Rachel seeing our preparation bid fair to
be work of time, descended to the parlor
to entertain them until we were ready to
assume that agreeable duty, and our dress
ing waved fast and furious. AS Irving
says, "All was slip slop, click clack, and
perfume" Hair pins and curl papers flew
to the right-about; in our wild gyratiops
round the room, we were entirely too busy
to stop to think that every move could be
distinctly heard in the parlor directly be-
low us. Aunt Rachel told us afterward she
could scarcely keep her face straight, and
she really pitied the young men it was such
a tax on their politeness to keep from laugh
ing at the hurry scurry their advent had
occasioned. Our dresses were hanging on
hooks, we jumped up in chairs to reach
them and jumped down again with an en-
phasis that shook the house, then the gig
Cling, the trotting about, the splashing of
water, the calling for fresh towels, until
our toilets completed, we shut our door
with bang and clattered neisily down the
stairs and stopped in the hall to collect our
scattered wits before making our entree;
but the fun of it was, when we got in and
settled ourselves we had nothing more to
say; all our vivacity had effervesced in the
steam of preparation and left us bashful
and ill at ease.

AN ITEM FOR SMOKERS.

In recent letter from New York Mr..
Locke Nasty gives the following interest
ing facts There is some little trouble
about the segar business. The segar-mak-
ers have held a convention to see if it is
not possible to reform the trade and put it
on a better footing. Some curious facts
were ELECTED. There are twenty five thou
sand persons in the city who are dependent
upon segar making for livelihood. Segars
are very seldom made in factories, but the
tobacco is given out and the work is done
in tenement houses in the lowest and filth
lest quarters of the city. Now the trouble
lies in this. In one not very large building
four thousand men, women and children
are employed in making segars, the opera
tives living in the same rooms in which
they work. That is to say, family, con
sisting of man and wife and six children,
eat, drink, sleep and work in room lily
ventilated, and filthy to a degree hardly
possible to be comprehended. 1t is held,
and | am sure justly, that tobacco handled
and manufactured in such room cannot
but be filled with impurities, and that dis
eases are not only generated by the use of
segars SO made, but that contagious dis
eases are spread broadcast. | went into
one of these buildings and penetrated into
one of their rooms. | would not do it
again for all the segars in New York
There were eight persons at work in
room, the odor of which was so absolutely
horrible that could not understand how
human being could exist in it for minute.
The man was filthy his wife was filther,
and the children-well, have no word at
command that will express the absolute rot
of their condition. And there they were
rolling segars, which you. my reader, put
in your mouths and hold there, taking into
your system with each puff the reeking,
sitting fever with which it must be impreg-
mated Cheerful, isn't ito

d" Poor White" Shopping in the South.

Mrs. Cad Fleemisteer had come down to
town on horseback, bringing two children,
one in her lap and one behind her. The
horse was sedate creature, borrowed from
ncighbor, and moved along the street with
an evident sense of the responsibilities rest
ing upon him, and with steadfast mind to
resist the various temptations to which
country horses are exposed. The horse
sidled up to the block that stood before
Goldstein's store, and the amiable Israelite
called out
Aloyshus, go to tie block mitout, and
help tie lady off-ach, himmel zwei kinder,
too! ~
He looked out, while Aloysius was lift
ing off the children, and meditated. The
indications were not promising for profit
able trade. The woman would be a tire
some customer. So he lodged out and
went to his own house, leaving the shop to
Aloysius.
Mrs Cad Fleemister wore prodigious
sun bonnet, made of green cambria, of the
scoop " pattern, which, with its ample
cape, covered her head and shoulders, and
made her unrecognizable. When she got
within doors, she took off the sun bonnet,
and seated herself by the open stove
The elder child, appeased by stick of
candy, made herself at home, and trotteG
around the premises with great hilarity.
The only drawback to the child's happi
ness was, that, whenever she passed by
her mother, that far sighted and decorous
woman made dab at the innocent's nose
with handkerchief. The younger child
nestled close to the mothers breast, and
continued to wiggle and whimper until its
natural rights were acknowledged, when it
subsidized into a state of purring content.
Then Mrs Cad Fleemister produced her
pipe, and begged !. bit Of tobacco. The
pipe was filled and lighted; aud, all these
preliminaries having been adjusted, the
negotiations began.
| You see, Mr.. Pittsinger, had to come
to town myself, 'cazc Toms laid up with
rheumatis. He's got 'em powerful bad in
Of jeans, and rubbed him, an my Lord,
how he did hollor! 'Spect he's got spine
in his back. Tookt 'em go'n out nights
arts coons, | reckin. Howscver, he said
you'd do .iist as well 10y me as him. Got
any shoes?
The pipe drew hard; and Aloysius po-
litely got a fresh coal and started the fire
anew. Then he answered. "Shoes p
Yes, MN. What size >"
81 want lot for the young ones. Put
out lot on 'em. There" said she, pro-
ducing two pieces Of Il twiG, "them's two
sizes, the oldest and the youngest. Give
me-lemme see-eight par between them
ere. What's the price of em ?''
Aloysius answered politely.
Wal, now iist SO many par stockins-
not too big; their legs is SLIM
The stockings were produced, and the
requisite number counted out.
Got airy purity potterns caliker ~
Aloysius placed number Of pieces on
the store counter, and Mrs. Cad Fleemis-
ter had hitched her chair nearer. @
reckin' I'll take that ere green one with
the yaller figger.'
She counted on her fingers, making cal
culations as to the number of yards re,
quired.

The thread and trimmings were provided;
then came purchasers of cotton cloth, of
tobacco, coffee and tea, and three or four
bits of gay ribbon. The whole being con-
cluded, Mrs. Cad Fleemister called for the
reckoning, and paid the amount from a
parcel Of bills she carried in a brown paper
wrapper
Mrs. Cad Fleemister produced a piece of
corn bread and bacon from her pocket, and
ate with good RELISH after which, being
thirsty, she was prevailed upon to take a
little whisky and water. Thus fortified,
she was ready for her journey home. Most
of her purchases were slowed in bags she
had brought for the purpose, and the re-
mainder was left for Jack to come for.
Mrs. Cad Fleemister put on her sun. bon
net, and got into her saddle. Aloysius
handed up the children; and the sedate
horse, finding the town inhospitable, afford
ing neither provender nor water, started
off with such unspoken maledictions as ILL
treated horses use.

WINTER.

Thou dark robed man with solemn pace,
And mantle muffed round thy face,
Like the dim vision seen by Saul,
Upraised by spells frcm deaths dark hall:
Thou sad small man-face thin and old,
Teeth set, and nose pinched blue with cold,
Meier mind Thy coat, so long and black,
And fitting round thee all so slack,
Has glorious spangles, and its stars
Are like a conqueIor'r fresh from wars
Who wove it in times awful loom,
With wool of glory, warp of gloom
Jove's planet glitters on thy breast,
The morning star adorns thy crest,
The waxing or the waning moon
Clings to thy turban, late or soon:
Cron's belt is thine, thy thigh
His jeweled sword hangs brightly by:
The Pleiades seven, the gypsy's star,
Shine as thy shoulder knots afar:
And the great Dog star, bright, unknown,
Blazes beside thee like throne.
Take heart thy coat so long and black,
Sere- worn, and fitting round thee slack,
Is broidered by the Northern Lights,
Those silver arrows shot by sprites-
Is powdered by the Milky Way,
With awful pearls unknown to day,
Which we'll make up for all the hues
Proud Summer, bridegroom like, may use.
Proud Summer with his roses sheen,
And dress of scarlet, blue, and green,
Floods us with such d sea of light,
We miss the faint far isles of night,
And thoughtless dance, while he with lutte
Beguiles us, or assists to fruit;
But, like shade from spirit land,
Dim Winter beckons with his hand
He beckons; all things darker grow,
Save white churned waves and wreathing
snow:
We pause; a chill creeps through our veins:
We dare not thank him for his pains;
We fear to follow, and we creep
To candle light, to cards, to sleep.
Yet when we follow him, how deep
The secret he has got to keep.
How wonderful how passing grand
For peering through his storm there stand
The eternal cities of the sky,
With stars like street-lamps hung on high;
No angel yet can sum their worth,
Though angels sang when they had birth.

ADAM AND EVE OVER AGAIN.

! lHele was du Ola coupe VINO earned
poor living, working hard all day in the
fields.
"See how hard we work all day." said
the wife, and it all comes of the foolish
curiosity Of Adam and Eve. If it had not
been for that, we should have been living
now in beautiful garden, with nothing to
do all day long
Yes" said the husband; if you and l
had been there, instead of Adam and Eve,
all the human family had been in paradise
still.''
! The Count their master, overheard them
| talking in this way, and he came to them
and said:
How would you like it if took you
into my palazzo, to live, and gave you SER
wants to wait on you, and plenty to eat and
drink?
sob, that would be delightful indeed d!
That would be as good as paradise itself !"
answered husband and wife together.
Well, you may come up there, if you
think so. Only remember, in paradise was
one tree that was not to be touched; SO at
my table there will be one dish not to be
touched. You mustn't mind that" said the
Count.
"No, of course not" replied the old
peasant; " that's just what say when Eve
had all the fruits in the garden, what did
she want with inst that ono that was for
hidden? And if we, who are used to the
scautiest victuals are ,unnl;ed with enoncb
to live well, what does it matter to MS
whether there is an extra dish or not an
the table?''
every we'll reasoned ~ said tho Connt
1--WE quite understand each other, then ?'
Perfectly replied both husband and
wife.
"You come to live at nv place. and have

Congress assembled Monday.
A quorum of both houses present.
The most of the session was occu-

In the Senate Senator Ingalls,
