Mr.. Charles Newt on, keeper OF Greek
and Roman antiquities at the British
museum, recently visited Athens in or
der to examine the objects excavated by
DIR. Schliemann near the supposed sito
of ancient Troy; and on April 30 he
read paper upon the subject at meet
ing of the society Of nnfiquaries in Lon
don. He says that Schliemann's pot
terry is older and ruder than any dis
covered at Rhodes, Cyprus or ancient
Germany, and cannot be clnssed as Hell
lenic or even Groco-Phmnician. In
deed, all Schliemann's works Of art are
both non Hellenic and Hellenic.
The same is true Of the gold and silver
ornaments and vessels. They are all
ruder than the rudest specimens Of the
Hellenic period. Prof. Max Muller
said that his conclusions were like Mr..
Newton's. In Homer Troians are diff
ferent from Greeks, but they are not
barbarous their armor is worth TAX
ing their gold ornaments preferable
10 the Greek. Schliemanu's relics arc
not Homeric. Their discoverer makes
a mistake in believing that the articles
he has dug mp are from the city and
times Of Priam.

An Armenian Bride.

Oliver Harper writes from Constanti-
nople of an Armenian bride as follows
"She was covered with a most curious
veil made of long slips of gold tinsel,
which reached 90 her feet. Through
this you could not see, except the bot
tom of her dress. The Armenian wo-
men are generally very pretty, but per-
feet fools in manners and expression
so much so that when one man wishes
TO offend another he says " Pretty Ar
menian ~ which really means n fool.
The women dress like Europeans in
general. The women, after i had twice
made the circuit of the veil, lifted 10 in
front and separated the long strings OF
tinsel, till / could see that the bride
was dressed in white silk, brocaded with
silver and pearls, and that around her
waists was a wide belt containing n for
tune in precious stones. Her cheeks
we're painted n deep crimson, laid on in
a heart shape, and another heart was nr-
tistically put on the chin, while the rest
of the face was as white as the lumin-
GUS cosmetic could bring il. The eye
brows met, and also stretched 90 the
hair on each side her temples, and
we're as black as they could be painted.
The inside of her fingers ends and
finper-nails wore stained "A deep Grim

thick though coarse, was braided full OF
little jingling coins. The outlines Of
her form were, as usual, totally hidden
by the clumsy made clothes. admired

that they were shod with velvet slip

Did you ever notice how long it takes
q boys hair to dry, when he has run
away and gone in swimming? It is
painful to be boy, with mother who
is constantly in fear lest you be brought
home from the river on a board. The
boy is commanded not to go in swim
ming, and he swears he wont, but he
lies like little cuss. He thinks he
will go in and not get his hair wet, and
no one will know it, buT just as he gets
ready to come out of the water a big
boy " ducks" him, and then he swesrs,
and when he crawls in the back window
at 10 o'clock at night, his mother, with
press board hid in the folds of her
dress, is the first obstacle he encoun-
ters. Does she believe him when he
tells her he has just been over to i'm
my Lynde's practiciDg with the /" Fl St
nine" of a Sunday-school class No !
She feels of his hair, finds it wet, smells
of it and finds it musty, and finds his
shirt wrong side out. Then she spits
on her hands, and with the press board
so works upon his tender sensibilities
that he goes to bed with his hand on his
aching heart, wishing he was half-Or-
phan, and he dreams he is a stern
wheel boat, running backward, and that
he has collided with barge loaded with
benzine, and set it on fire. The best way
for a boy to get along, at this season of
the year, is to have his hair shingled.

By HORSLEY BROS. & FIGUERS
TWILIGHT DREAMS.

| They come in the quiet twilight hour,
| When the weary day is done,
And the quick light leaps from the glowing heap!
| OF wood, on the warm hearth-stone.
When the household sounds have died away.
And the rooms are silent all,
Save the clocks brief tick, and the sudden click
OF the embers as they fail.
They come, those dreams Of the twilight hour,
To me, with their noiseIess tread,
fearful band, by the guiding hand
OF grave-eyed spirit led.
There is no voice within the hall,
No fOotstep on tre floor,
The childrenis laughter is hushed, there is
NO hand at the Tarlor door.
Like fingers tapping eagerly
Against the shattered frame,
Where the trailing rose its long branch throws,
Beat the great drops of rail-.
But my heart heeds not the rustling leaves
Nor the rain falls ftful beat.
Now the winds low Sigh, as it hurTies by
On its pauseess path and feet.
For now in the dusk, they gather round,
The visions of the past,
Arising slow, in the dim red glow,
By the burning pine brands cast.
Ny brow is calmod as with the touch
OF angels passing wing;
They breathe no word, yet my soul is stirred
By the messages they bring.
Some in their grasp impalpable,
Bear Eden-cultured flowers,
That sprang in gloom, from the tear-bathed tomb
OF hopes lOng-buried hours.
Some from the fount of memory,
Lasting, and pure, aud deep,
Bring waters clear, though many year,
Hath saddened their first fresh sweep;
And some in their hands of shadow bear,
Prom. the shrine Of prayerful thought,
A fragrance blest, to the stricken breast,
With balm and healing fraught.
The night wears on, the hearth burns low,
The dreams have passed away;
But heart and brow strengthened now
For the toll Of coming day.
