Miss Emily, impelled by morbid in
clination she could not explain, had fol
lowed the proceedings Of the inquest on
Mrs Hurlingham's body with unwonted
excitement and with sorrowful sympathy
Not content with this, she wished her
father and mother to share her feelings
This was annoying. The subject was
disagreeable, and Emily's views about it
were uncomfortably odd.
The truth is, the young lady had lat
terly adopted very uncongenial opinions.
Having gone one Sunday, during the
past season, to a church in Hilton Square,
when she had, as she supposed, conclud-
ed the real part OF the worship. and had
assumed an attitude of recipient resgna-
ton for the homily OF the surpliced
priest who was kneelinS up there in the
pulpit, with his hands over his face, the
ecclesiastic took his revenge not only out
of her, but out of number Of other
equally placid ladies and gentlemen
whom the London season had drawn to-
gether. lie very quietly, but in eloquent
and incisiye terms, told them that most

The Old Song.
BY W. II. c. HosMER.

BY W. II. c. HosMER
Sing on love that olden lay,
Though mournful are the notes and wild,
II drives the haunting fiend away,
It thrilled me when q child.
Long buried gold the past reveals;
Charmed by the magic OF that strain,
MY weary heart refreshment feels,
And am young again.
Sing on the land of shadows now
Hath raised its curtain, dark and dim,
Back comes my sire with furrowed brow,
That smile belongs to him.
Each old familiar word invokes
The phantoms Of the pictured past
And, signing through ancestral oaks,
hear the midnight blast.
Sing onl for, borne on music's tide,
My soul fiWats back to other days,
From dust rise up the true and tried
To greet my yearning gaze:
And she, meek violet that grew
In rosy boyhood's "Eden Lost"
Springs up as II her eye of blue
Had never known the frost.
Sing on sing on entranced hear,
While bloom once more earth's perished
flowers,
For mother warbled in my ear
That song i'm other hours;
And when the sad refrain is breathed
Her gentle spirit hovers nigh
Fond arms are, round the wanderer,
wreathed,
Kind voices make reply.

Our Women.

SAA WOAAChs
What is the theme that now 1 sing,
With rattling bones and ban JOS ring,
our women!
Who is IL, in our hours of ease,
Uncertain, coy, and hard to please,
Through lifes tight places men do squeeze
Our women!
Who smile when favorite china breaks?
Who takes the topmost buclxwheat cakes,
Our women!
Who drop the needle for the pen,
And make the echoes ring again,
To wake those stupid things, the men?
our women!
Who kindled the Centennial flame
In distant States, where, dull and tame,
The men forgot their country's fame?
our women!
Who when the men, in blank dsmay,
Sat wondering IL the thing would pay,
Pulled back their skirts and led the way?
our women
Who stormed old Independence Hall
And woke the councils, one and all,
With sixty-thousand-power call
our women!
Who when Centennial stock was low
Did bravely take their books and go,
And beg share from every beau?
Our women
Who leave the cradle and the tub?
To build their house, and put to flight
The fools who sneer at Women's Rightf
Our women
Who walked the days OF Washington,
Contriving Jete and fair and fun,
While Polly puts the kettle on?
Our women!
Who, In the IovelieSt array,
Turn work Centennial into play,
And gather money every day?
Who, when the days OF toll were long;
When meath the burden bowed the strong.
Still cheered the faint with buoyant song ?
Our women
And sang that lay that no man wrote:
Forever shall our banner float,
Our oriiamme, the pettieoat"
Our women!
Who, when Centennial days are DER,
And Patriotism asks no more,
Will be the things we most adore?
Our women!
