SPRINGS WARDROBE,

Heard 70 the re7el in Faery-land.
On the natal day Of Hpring3
The music WAS fully as charming
As any that mortals sing,
And the faery-folk laughed go loudly
The faery-wor1d woods did ring.
All the winter they'd been preparing
For the baby sprtng-to bo,
And such an exquisite wardrobe,
Tis wonderful thing to see.
I'll tell you Of some OF the beauties
The faeries have shown to me.
For the dainty and dfmpled darling.
There are frocka OF heecy white.
Rppled with s7ftast sunshine;
And mantles like sapphire bright,
All sparkling with tiny Jewels,
And woven With rays Of Light.
There are gowns Of green, embroidered
With opening buds and aowers,-
Peeping through halt-grown leadets,-
Freahened by sweetest showers:
To trace out SO rare psttarn
Would qu1ckcn an artists poHers.
There are robes for sombre moments.
Made Of shadowy cloud aud haze;
And dress Of threads all golden,
For tha uoming 8ummer days;
And the maiden to wear these gArmants
Ia one to love and praise.
For her smile Ia bright as the sunlight.
And her cheek is fur as the rose:
And she softens, BY warm caresscs,
Earths weardness, want, and woes;
Aye, her touch can waken the buried dasd
From under The chilling snowa,
Then wc11 join the rovel Of Faery-land,
And welcome the merry Spr1ngt
For cur spirits are now 30 gladdened
We're ready to laugh and sing:
eo WeM take up the gieesoZne echo
I'LL tho xeal-world woods Bhau ring.

Sherman'S Daughter Wear

Mrs. Minnie Sherman Fitch saw
the Jewels sent to her by the Khedive
of Egypt in the Collectors office il the
custom house OH Thursday after
noon for the first time. She was ac-
cOmpanied by her husband. Lieut..
Fitch, aud large party of ladies and
gentlemen. Gen. Arthur sent to As
sistant Trearurer HillhOuse, in the
sub-treasury, for the diamonds, and
she wore them in the Collectors par
Tor fOl a few minutes. One of her
friends assisted her to clasp the neck
lace around her throat and to clasp
the drops in her ears, The parlor was
darkened to display the full brilliancy
of the gems. The ladies were raDtu-
rOus over the jewels, and the fair
wearer kept them on until they had
been inspected and examined twice
over. She was delighted with them.
They were sent back to the sub-treas-
ury after she took them off: Mrs.

WEST VA. UNLOCKED.

Hon, A. T. Caperton was elected
to the Senate last Wednesday, after
a prolonged contest. The Capitol
will in ninety days be removed to
Wheeling. and the Kanawha Valley
gets the Senator, Mr.. Caperton is a
man of luck as we'll as brains. Iu a
similar deadlock in the Va. Legislas
ture in 1868, he was the lucky man
to get into the G. S. Senate as the
successor of Ballard Preston,-
Now he goes to the L. S, Senate as
the successor of Arthur I. Borcman.
He resides in Union, Monroe County,
has been and is yet, ripe and
skillful lawyer, and has well trained
and disciplined mind, we'll stored
with the education of busy and &C
tive life. Mr.. Caperton must be well
toward seventy years Of age, and has
a head of hair and beard that are
as white as the Summit of Mont
Blanc. He was formerly considered
a bitter and dyspeptic whig, but in
1860, went over to the democracy
and IN his exposed position on the
borders ran much risk by his firm
stand in favor Of the ConfederaCy.-
In 1865 he was made the subject of
very relentless persecution by the
radical vermin that crawled to the
top of political society, aud aimed
even at social ostraciSm. Even to
this good hour, whatever is left OF
that vermicular host that thought the
present deluge would never come,
and made no use Of the warning of
the day, may be said to deSpise him to
an extent that may be denominated
first class, Bat with the respectable
aud solid class of the country, he
stands high as a gentleman, lawyer
aud even as a statesman, West Va,
will in him have very respectable
and excellent defender at the Ma
tional Capitol.
