She sat in a piteous hut
In wood where poisons grew:
Wichered was every leaf
AND her face was wtthered too;
Like sword the fierce wind cut
Her worn heart through and through.
Gray as the frost was her hair.
Dim as the dusk were her eyes,
AS still as stone was her mouth:
let she knew that she was fair,
Ano she knew that she was wise,
Therefore she waited there.
Away, and so far away,
she looked for light and a sign:
'Oh, he has not forgotten mel

When all Tomorrow is mine?

IN the tnorns would sink the snow,
And the chasms We're weird with sound
Jet the years would come and go:
somewhere there is something sweet
And some time l shall know.

A land In reach of my arm;

MINNIE SHERMAN FITCH RECEIVES A vALU-
ABLE PRESENT FROM THE KHEDIvE OF
EGYPT-A DESCRIPTION OF THE BRILLIANTS.
The New York Times of the 2sth inst
thus describes the receipt of q very valuable
gift by the daughter of Gen. Sherman: A
magnificent necklace and ear drops of dia.
monds were received yesterday at the GUS
tom house, for delivery to Mrs. Lieut..
Thomas w. Fitch. nee Miss Minnie Sher-
man. They were sent by the khedive of
Egypt as wedding present to the daughter
of Gen. Sherman, in token of his appre-
citation of the advice concerning the r0organ-
ization and discipline OF offiekrs for his army
given by the general during his visit to
Cairo in 1878. They were forwarded
through Oppenheimer brothers, the Paris
bankers, and were consigned to Drexel,
Morgan Il Co., of this city. The necklace
is a perfect mass of large Diamonds, artistic
ally strung, and with still larger diamonds
hanging down at intervals in the form of
pendants The earrings are composed of a
number Vt the larger sized diamonds ar
ranged TO match the necklace. Both are
contained IN a superb jewel case of velvet
and are accompanied by congratulatory
letter from the khedive. Lieut.. Fitch, &C
companied by several of his wite's relatives,
called at the custom house yesterday and
viewed the present. All who saw it were
enthusiastic in their expression of admira
ton. 1t still remains in possession of
Deputy Collector Lydecker, pending the
conclusion of some tOrmalities necessary to
its delivery. Congress, recently, by joint
resolution, authorized the lieutenant to re-
ceive it. It's value is estimated at $3.50, 900.
A correspondent of the Chicago Times
thus describes the appearance of the regal
present: Il is estimated that over 5000
persons called to see the Jewels during the
past three days. Mr.. Lydecker wishes it
announced that future applications will be
entirely useless, as the cssket is
no longer in his possession, and

EIGHT Is1MENsE ROUND sroNEs,
surrounded Dy smaller ones. are linked to
gether at equal distances by two rows of
small stones, four of the links containing
20 stones each, and four others containing 16
stones each. Another row OF small dis-
monds is fastened. in five fes.oons, to the
lower row of the front links, at equi-distant
intervals from each of the large diamonds.
From each point OF contact hangs an inn
mense pear-shsped diamond, surrounded by
smaller diamonds, the fastening being of
filigree gold work, dotted with still smaller
diamonds. There ara seven OF these pend
ants on each side of the center. Pendant
between the festoon and the lower row
OF the main link, is q large medallion OF
filigree gold work studded with large and
small diamonds. The central one of these,
on the left of the medallion, stone of
about four carats, is pronounced by experts
TO be the best stone in the collection, on ac-
count of its exquisite purity and brllliancy.

When love is dead what more but funeral rites
To lay his sweet corse lovingly to rest,
To cover him with rose and eglantine,
And all the posies that he loved the best:
What more, but kisses for his close-shut eyes
His cold, still lips that never more will speak,
His hair. too bright for dust of death 10 dim
The flush scarce faded from his frozen cheek
What more but tears that win not warm his
brow,
Although they burn the eyes from which they
start5-
No bitter weeping or more bitter words
Can rouse to one more throb that pulseless
heart.
So dead he Is, who once was so alivel
In summer, when the ardent days were long,
He was as warm as June, gay and glad
AS any bird that swelled It's throat with song
So deadl-yet ali things were his ministers
All birds and blossoms, and the Joyous June
Would they had died, and kept sweet Love
alive: Q
Since he is gone the world is out OF tune.
