Two oetg were deep IN a blossom far

Two birds were perohed on an empty nest,
Each one bat teathered ball.

With the famous Autumn call.

While the busy bees aho had more thrilt.

American and English Time Servers.

The great difficulty in this country
is that we have no time for anything.
The very walk of an American shows
that he is in a hurry. All EnglishTan

to business Az deliberately as he goes

man flies after the car, struggling with
his coat sleeves AZ he runs, phinges III
head foremost and pIunges out ut the

occur because people will jump upon
flying trains or after departing boats.

origin of Fashions.


Trace fashion to its origin isays an
exchange), and you will nearly always
find that it springs from the conscious
ness of a defect and q wish to mask it.
The fatherland Of crinoiine Is Spain,
and Spanish queen first wore hoops
to dissimulare unequal hips. An act
ress of the Boulevards, who attempted
suicide by throwing herself over bal
cony few years ago, revived the high
heeled shoes which Louis puator2e
originally brought into fashion to APP
pear taller than the King Of Spain at
the meeting in The Isle Of Pheasants.
A Franch lady, who derives a prestige
| from rank, fortune. and striking
| beauty, scalded her arms three winters
back. An ugly mark bore witness to
the accident. She thought Of wearing,
| to conceal it. those long-armed gloves
which, out of mercy 10 the plebian
wives of NapoleOn's marshais and gen
erals, the Empress Josephine adopted.
The hats slanring down over the eye
brOWs were the result Of a lady OF eX-
allied rank losing her front hair. Queen
| Elizabeth 5 neck was yellow AMI thin !;
hence the .sstitf muslin name. The
double veil Of white and black tulle
was contrived Ivy a lady with a bad
complexion. She used pearl powder
to hide her red skin, and the white
and black veil to dissimulate the pearl
powder. which would have shown on
the black net. An old Partisan beau,
with IN experience OF more than hall
4 century of fashionable society there
and at the Continental gambling and
watering places, maintains that, when
fashion is not traceable to deform.
ity. it must have originated in the de-
sire Of some reigning or rising belle &c
crush rival.

by the cares Of life-by difficulties
crowtiing on every side. But that
brings us to the very point we are
seeking and leads us to repeat, that
happiness is made, not born. 1t a
man firmly resolves to throw aside the
yexing cares Of business, or woman
the aggravation Of domestic life, when
the family is united. as most families
are once in twenty-four hours, the
thing is done. After the excitements
of the day the nerves are naturally
pretty thigh strung and All effort is
required to prevent their disturbance
upon the slightest provocation; but
each effort renders its successor easier
Of accomplishment. Thus, q habit Of
gentleness. cheerfulness and kindness
can be acquired, which nobody sees
But to appreciate. admire and desire,
The children acquire it in youth am,
are saved the subsequent efforts at
self control, while the neighbors are
softened by contract with it. and the
result is what we all should seek.

POLL TAX VS. sAMBO.

SENATOR MoRToN complained last
Saturday in debate that the law re-
curing poll tax to be paid in Geor
gia, prevented the colored people
from voting. Senator Norwood re
piled -
~ republican convention, com
posed largely of colored men, that
was elected under the reconstruction
acts which my honorable friend as
sisted in passing, adopted the clause
to which he has made reference. 1t
was republican measure; it was a
colored mans measure They re
quired poll tax OF 81 as a condition
precedent t. suffrage, and they put
that upon the white people of Geor-
gia against their Will: and that law
las teen enforced, so far as know,
impaFtially ever since. 1t has been
brought TO bear upon the white man
as we'll as upon the colored man. 1t
may be true, as the Senator has said,
that some colored men have not vo-
ted on account Of that law; but ii
was not because the Law was rigor-
ousIy and unjuslly enforced against
them, but because they value the
dollar better than they do the right
TO vote.
