The Age of Shams,
From the New York Graphic.

Tfroh the new Ork Graphic
1t is really no wonder that the opposite
SEX occasionally burst forth into plaintivs
reprOach, and upbraid false fair ones for
the many means resorted to in order to dea
celve them. For, in the contest for the
prize awarded by Paris to the most beauti
1ul, deceits are invented and boldly worn
such as are sometimes too astounding for
belief. Years ago we remember hearing of
French singer at cafe ChaataHt, whose
husband, upon being cOmplimented upon
the dazzling fairness of his wife'5 neck,
lifted Oft a pair of shoulders of tinted wax
so arranged as to be easily Adjustable But
that any of our bellies should consent to
the paltry deception of wearing false
kid necks, made in Berlin and in
Paris, and sent with vast amount of
mystery to the beauty ambitious of full,
round neck and shoulders, is something that
almost needs to be "seen to be believed
Yet this is done. Let one fancy meeting
lady at ball; whose tulle scarf dexter
ously wrapped about her threat and care
lessly thrown back, serves only to soften
the gloss and enhance the symmetry of
what seems to her dazzled observer pair
of superb shoulders. Fancy discovering
afteward, perhaps, when said lady has be-
come bride, that those shoulders were
but dream-made of kid! That is worse
than nightmare, and it would seem that
C'Ch a NCAy Lay oiu Souiu cay
"False one love thee still !"
That the desire to have the credit for hav-
ing what does not belong to one should
urge to such fragrant deception is astonish-
ing, but still more so is the blindness that
leads the deceiver to suppose that thin
arms, ETC., can be reconciled with this
roundness in the neck. And here pulled,
tulled sleeves are called into play. 1t IS
said that flesh cOlored enamel makes the
complexion, down to the joining hidden by
the tulle, a perfect match to the kid Does

centre of the lot, was hidden with wreaths

the burial of Dickens, it is said that every
person, male and female, who visited his

with single rosebuds and geraniums. Not.

''THAT BOY.0

Does it ring from street'tO roof
Will the racket still continue.
Spite Of all your mild reprOOfs
Are YOU often in a tlutter
Are you sonnet imes thrilled with Joy.
There have my grave suspicious
That you have at home that boy.
Are the walls and table hammered
Are your nerves and ink upset.
Have two eyes az bright and rogaist:
Made you every care forget
Have your garden beds a prOwler.
Who delights but to destrOya
These are we Unknown indications
That you have at hOme-that bow,
Have you seen him playing circus
With his head upon the mat,
And his heels in mid air tumbiias
For his audience, the cat?
Do you ever stop to listen
When his many pranks annoys
Listen to voice that whispers
You were once just like that boys
Have you heard of broken windovo
And with nobody to blamel
Have you seen trOusered urchiIs
Quite unconscious of the same
DO you love a teasing mixture
OF perplexity and jOye
You have a dozen daughters,
But know you've got that boa

The trees century Ola;
And me u inds 90 chanting through them.
And the sunbeams drop their gold.

And the roses bloom on the hill,
And hes de the brook on the pastures
The herds 60 feeding at Will.

They sit in tho sun alOnel
And the old wife's tears are falling
As she hearks to the well known tone
That WOE Der heart in her girlhood.
That mas so0thed her in many care.
Ard raises her now for her brightnesA
Her old face used 10 wear.

How dressed in her robes OF white.
She stood by her gay young love.

Oh, the morning is rosy as ever.
But the rose from her cheek ID neG:
And the sur shine still is golden.
But it falls on q siivered head.
And the gilhood dreams, once vanished.
Come back in her winter time.
Til her feeble pulses tremble

She crossed the Old door stone.
Though dimmed her eyes bright aznfe.
And dimmed her hairs young gold
The love in her RirlhOod piighted
Has never grown dim nor Old
They sat in peace in the sunshine
Till the day WAS almost done,
And then, at its close, an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together
He touched their eyelids with balm
And their last breath tlOated upward
Like the close of q solemn psalm.
Like a bridal pair they trayersed
The uDsef n mystical road
That leads to the beautiful city
Whose builder and maker ~ Cod.
Perhaps in that miracle country
They will give her lost you'll back,
And the flowers of a vanished spring time
Will bloom in the spirits track.
One draught from the living waters
shall call back his manhOOd's prime.
And eternal years shall measure
The love that Outlived time.
But the shapes that they left behind them.
The wrinkles and silver hair.
Made holy to US by the kisses
The angels have printed there.

When the day ia low in the west,
