Like the faint perfume Of withered rose
long pressed ia a book and hidden from
sight, there comes TO us a halfforgotten
story Of the past. The bloom and fresh
ness faded from the flower forty years ago.
At its best il was but a pale blush rose,
growing in the rarefed, somewhat chilly
atmosphere of intellectual friendship. A
different flower is the glorious crimson
rose that fOUrishes in the tropical air of
passion, tragedy and deathless love. The
idyl which we read, though full of the
pathos of s'might have BEEN" is not flushed
with tints of the hearts life-blood. The
elements Of intense joy and grief are want
lng-there are none OF those bright lights
or deep shadows that make love story "a
thing woven ont of rainbow on a ground Of
eternal black" like the episode OF Fran
cesca aud Rimini.
A party of young ladies and gentlemen
Of Mount Pleasant, Ohio, assembled at the
house OF friend in that village to Swatch
the old year out" The incoming year was
1SS6-ieap year. Amid the merrimeut of
the occasion, some one suggested that the
ladies should avail themselves of the priv
ilege which il brought, and open a CORE
spondence with different gentlemen men
tioning among Others, the bachelor-poet
Fitz-Greene Halleck. The proposal was
passed by as jest, but in a few minutes it
was noticed that Miss Abbie Flannar,
young lady Of much talent and vivacity,
was missing from the party. Quietly bid
ding good night to her fpiends of the house,
she had slipped out and gone home alone.
The ground was covered with snow that
Sparkled in the moonbeams. Walking
along slowly, scarcely noting the beauty Of
the scene around her, she meditated poet.
lcal epistle to Fitz-Greene Halleek, and
reaching her roOm sat down and wrote the

SHOCKING FACTS ABOUT BOSTON
LADIES.

bO=tO0 Times.
Ladies who patronize our jewelry, dry
goods and similar establishments, some
times do it in a way that is anything bit
pleasing and profitable tc tie proprietOrs.
The latter, anxious to accommodate, often
permit customers to take to their homes az
ticles which they cannot decide to purchase
at the stores. We have read Of jewellers
recognizing their flashing diamonds, thus
temporarily entrusted to some fair customer,
upon her person upon the evening before It
was returned, with the conclusion regret
fully expressed that they ''won't suit" and
the vendors of costly shawls, elegant
sacques, and other garments, have even
recognized their goods doing duty on special
occasions, to be returned next day by
the wearers, with the assurance that
they were compelled to state, re-
gretfully, Of course, that they
wouldn't do at all. We had supposed
that New York alone furnished the parties
who perpetrated such jokes upon the gal
liant traders; but such is not the case. Re
Gently nice velvet garment was sent to
the house of a lady customer from one of
the dry goods firms of this city, she de-
string to give it a critical examination. 1t
was returned with a good sized cut in it,
which the customer had attempted 10
stick together with some adhesive sub
stance. In making her pattern from the
newest Partisan model she had unluckily
nearly spoiled the garment. Still another
lady wished to examine an elegant
new velveteen sacque just from Paris,
and it was sent by a well-known dry
goods firm to her home. II came
back TO the store with a dash of
upon it about the size of the
British Isles in an ordinary map of Europe.
Whenever she had worn the garment she
had unconsciously plowed through the
omelette in passing the butter or the apple
sauce to her next neighbOr. We have but
one comment to make Don't do such
things, ladies, especially-especially Boston
ladies'; but if you must do so, keep the
borrowed sleeves out of the velveteen.
Then the statesmen and proprietors will die
in utter ignorance of your little pranks.

New Years Night.

The Merry Mock Birds Song.
Ger fields of snow the moonlight falls,
And softly on the snoW-white walls
OF abb cottage shines:
And there beneath the breath of June
The hOneysUckles gay festOOn,
And multihOrs tvines,
And forms sweet empowering shade,
Pride OF the humble cottage maid,
Who now Transformed and beld,
Beneath the magic of a name,
Those equal rights presumes to claim,
Rights urged by young and old.
And who is she, TO fame unknown,
Who dares her challenge thus throw down
Low at the feet Of one
Who holds proud, conspicuous stand
Among the magIRtez of the land,
The mUse'sfavOrite son?
As when she rOamed a careless child
To pluck the forest blossoms wild,
Oft climbed some pendant brow
OF rock or cliff, to gather there
Some tempting flower that looked more fair
Than all that bloemed below.
So now like Eve in Paradise,
Though numerous offerings round her rise
OF love and friendship bland,
With many sober blessing fraught,
Would give them all for one kind thought,
One line from Halleck's pen,
.
Like that fair plant of India's fields
That most when bruised and broken yields
It's fragrance on the air
Such is the heart offer thee
Pride of my eOuntry's minstrelsyl
Oh, is it worth thy care2
She signed this Ellen A. F. Campbell, in.
her initials with the name of
SCOTS Lady Of the Lake, and forwarded it
% the poet.
In those days of slow coaches, much time
must necessarily elEpse before a response
1Ould be received, and it is but natural to
suppose that during the interval, buoyant
nope and lively thought alternated with mis-
yivings and doubt as to the reception of her
etter.
Perhaps when the first glow of adven>
,urOus feeling passed, she half regretted her
sctiOn and felt the natural shrinking of a
heart from Offering itself unasked,
wen in jest.
And when at last IL long looked-for,
lOped-for packet arrived, with what trefn-
bling eagerness she must have opened and
cad it.
