VAULT OF VALENTINE MOTT, NJ. D.
This is not so imposing as many

The fame of Valentine Mott, as sur

The monuments of John Mathews and
James Gordon Bennett, are costly and
very imposing.

As THE DAYS GO ON.

What are YOU sowing, pilgrim,
AS the days go on?
Are they seeds of thOrns or roses,
That shall spring to crown or crosses
AS the days go on?
What are You reaping, pilgrim,
AS the days go on?
Are they precious sheaves you gather,
Or the worthless stubble, rather
As the day, on?
What is your burden, pilgrim,
AS the days go on?
Is it envys blackened chalice,
Filled with selfiShness and malice,
AS the days 60 on?
Is your pathway shining, pilgrim,
As the days 90 on?
Giving smiles for other gladness,
Giving tears for others sadness,
AS the days go on2
Is the cross heavy, pilgrim,
AS the days go on?
Faith and hope will make it lighter:
Love will ma Ike your crown the brighter
When the days are gone!
Lift your eyes, weary pilgrim,
AS the days go on!
Earth is but a little clearing;
And the haven-land is nearing
Nearing is the dawn!

TIE TuN1s1AN CAFE At TEE ExHmr.
T1oN.-This is one of tho things to sss.
It represents q Tunisian music hall Of
the commoner sort. Nothing is charged
for admission. You enter q rectanRu-
lar room, filed with tables and chairs:
at one end is the little furnace whore
the coffee is made, at the other end is
raised platform or stage, carpeted and.
cushioned. On the cushion sits cross
legged four musicians, two men and
two young women. They are richly
dressed in their native costumes. The
first man has sort of pear-shaped gui-
tar, upon which he plays with . little
instrument instead Of pulling the strings
with his fingers; the other plays upon
violin. as little street musicians do,
resting the end upon the lap instead Of
at the shoulder. Both the girls beat
on small drums with their hands. One
would sing and another would Join in,
or all would join. There did not seem
to be any tune or any particular time
to come in. It was just as the spirit
moved them. The coffee is what the
French call cafe NOR, and remarkably
good. If you do not care to 60 there
to see any of this nonsense, You will
certainly 60 when ! tell you that one Of
the girls is beauty itself. She has jet
black hair and eyes-deep, lustrous,
sparkling and expressive. A fair COM
plexion and rosy cheeks; regular fea-
lures, but never at rest. A full, plump
form, incased in such garments, but how
shall describe them? A short figured
Swiss dress; cut surplus over the shoul-
ders or worked in with the waist, I
could not tell which, was sort Of buff
and blue semi-mantle of cashmere. On
her head she wore long red gold tur-
ban. Add to this, large, triple Bynn-
tine earrings, two necklaces, one Of
white beads and one of pink, gold brace
let's aud anklets. She ordered servants
about, she sung (horribly), she laughed
and showed her pretty teeth, aud your
happy correspondent is proud to say
she winked at him. This woman is the
most beautiful thing have seen since
leaving home.

The GREEK BED.-There is no form
of bed-stead, from the four-poster to
the French, which may not be found
described by writer's or represented in
works of art. Ulysses manufactured
one for himself of olive wood inlaid
with gold and ivory. The bed rested
sometimes on boards laid across the
frame, on thongs of OK hide stretched
over one another or on netting OF
cord. Plato speaks of bed-steads made
of solid silver. Athen@us describes
them as made:o of ivory and embossed
with beautifully wrought figures; and
Lucian has them veneered with Indian
tortoise shell, inlaid with gold. In
Thessaly beds were stuffed with fine
grass. According to Athen@us, effem-
mate gentlemen sometimes slept on
beds of sponge. Fashionable people
in Athens slept under coverlets OF
dressed peacock skins, with the feath-
ers on. Clearchus. the author of =
treatise on sleep, describes the bed OF
a Paphian prince in such way that
one can hardly keep his eyes open
while reading!of it. "Over the soft
mattresses, supported by silver-footed
bedstead, was flung short-grained
Sandman carpet of the most expensive
kind. A coverlet of downy texture
succeeded, and upon this was cast a
counterpane Of Amorginian purple.
Cushions varisgated with the richest
purple supported his head, while two
] soft Doran pillows of male pink gently
raised his feet. One of the greatest
improvements introduced by the Greeks
into the art of sleeping was the practice
of undressing before going to bed-a
thing unheard of until hit upon by
their inventive genius. Bed coverings
were often perfumed with fragrant es-
sences from the East. Counterpanes
were not only :perfumed, but embroid-
cred with figures of animals and men.
