Tho Legend of the fsIe Of Nam.

Apropos of the new woman's
Declaration of independence
there were two contiguous islands
once. Upon one of those islands
dwelt men alone on the other
lonely women. Where these islands
were located is not precisely known,
but we suppose they were situated
in the cold Antarctic Ocean, for the
men only visited the feminine isle
once year, kept all the canoes,
tand never permitted a female foot
to press the soil of their island.
Now it happened that once a
cyclone prevailed in those seas and
blew all the canoes north of the
equator, and blew all the timber
away, 50 that no more canoes were
possible to be made. The time for
visiting the Isle of Women came
and passed, and the race of men
accepted the situation, and turned
themselves sadly, but resignedly, to
their customary pursuits.
The women were terribly dis
tressed. They stood on the sandy
beach and watched the white,
capped waves roll shOreward, and
chided the yeasty foam as it laVed
their feet and fell back seaward
The pale moonlight, as it CLEANED on
the waves and glanced on the shore
found them signing for those whC
were not. The SUMS first rpddy
ray looked kindly upon them, stll
signing; and in the amber light 2
, evening the soft star Of the occi
dent, lovely Venus, looked dowl

"John Gilpin" in print but not yet
famous, chose it for recitation.
Mrs. Siddons heard it with delight,
and in the spring of 1855 its sue
cess was the event of the season.
1t was reprinted in many forms and
talked of in all circles; prints of
"John Gilpin" we're familiar in
shop-windows; and Cowper, who
was finishing the "Task," /" felt that
his more serious work would be
helped if it was published with this
"John Gilpin" as an ayOwed piece
by the same author.

The necIIne OF the Great spa.

From cr0aklng Saratoga Letter-Wrlter'
Men as rule do not go to water
ing places to find partners for life,
but they visit them to have a good
time with other young men. Be-
fore the war of the shareholders re-
bellion the young Southerners used
to come up to Saratoga with such
intentions, and the young men be-
longing to the families of "crystal-
lized wealth" in the North came
here to meet them. The young
people of the classes Of uncrystal-
iized wealth came after in the hopes
of making acquaintances with the
bright particular stars. Then, in
deed, the girls had no difficulty in
getting all the toilets they wanted
from an indulgent papa. 1t was
only necessary to say&that Mr..
Southerner had invited dear Emma
to 90 driving with him, or that
Young Mr.. Knickerbocker had en-
gagged Lille for three waltzes at the
hop, and pater familias wrote
checks instanter. Now the South
is ruined temporarily, though fast
recovering, and their young men
do not come to Saratoga; and the
Northern young men, the catches,
stay with their families at Newport,
or in splendid villas along the Hud.
son, or in magnificent pleasure
farms in Westchester county, or in
beautiful cottages at Long Branch.
And as the bell-wethers have disap-
peared, the rest of the flock wander
aimlessly. If Saratoga is to be re-
deemed, it must be by the return
gradually, of the missing elements
But in this creation Of new
heaven and a new earth-in this
development of a new South-wil
there be enough of the old feeling
to tempt the young chivalry back
to Saratoga? This is a question
we cannot answer.

George W. P. Gusts, in letter
to the Frederick (Va) Examiner,
dated Arlington House, August Is,
1857, wrote: "In regard to Wash
ington, as Marshal of France, /
have in this house proof strong as
holy writ in an engraving Of Ma
pier of Merchistouu, the celebrated
inventor of the LogarithmS, which
was presented to Washington by
the Earl of Buchan, a relative Of
the philosopher, with the indorSe-
ment in the handwriting Of the
Earl 'To Marshal General Wash.
ington, with the respect of Buchan.'
Now, Buchan lived in the age CT
the Revolution, and was the sSsoci-
ate of courts, and certainly would
not have addressed to one he SO
loved and admired as he did the
chief, a title to which the chief had
no claim. Lord Napier, on a visit
to the Arlington House, was greatly
gratifed by a sight of a reminiscense
of his ancestor treasured among the
relics of Washington. The history oi
the title, Marshal Of France, is
simply this: When, in 1871, Col.
onel Laurens went to France as
special ambassador, a difficulty
arose between him and the French
Minister as to the command Of the
combined armies in America. 0ul
heroic Lahrens said, Our chic
must command; it is our cause, anC
the battle is on our SOIL % es
/ impossible exclaimed the FRENCH
man; 'by the etiquette of thO
French service, the Count de Roch
ambeau, being an old Lieutenant
General, can only be commanded b,
: the King in person, or a Marescha
, de France 'Then,' exclaimed
7 Laurens, make our Washington {
l Mareschal de France and the diff
Guilty is at an end.' 1t was done

at the siege Of Yorktown. Our be

Q of circumstances just related, tn

e General-in-O Chief of the combines
armies of America and France.

became moist with sympathy as
she sank beneath the waves. There
was no hope, there were no canoes,
there was no timber for RATS. But
who can afix limits to feminine in
genuity, or imagine the resources of
woman when she loves and pines
"Thsugh ripping waves deride her,
And cruel seas divide her.

There is no sea can circle her about
so that she will not find means to
compass her end. The art of swim
ming had been neglected in that
cold climate, but an Amazonian
leader, remembering a bald-headed
cuss, whose hair she had annually
combed out with a sprig of shilla-
lab, bethought herself Of cleaving
the wave, and inaugurated a swim
ming school. 1t was cold as char
ity, but love is warm, and what was
the astonishment of that, now
happy and contented male commu-
nifty, one evening with the suns
departing ray to behold a naiad
host of women encompass that
coast and enter the harbOr.
/" Dear the recollection of our former lives,
Dear thememory Of our welded wives"
But this was entirely too dear, for
human nature happy in new found
freedom from all care. Besides it
was against the law Of the isle, and
we are sorry to say that the entire
host of faithful women were incOn.
tinently butchered on the spot and
cast into the sea.
That community Of men is still
living at the same place, doing busi
ness on the old stand, happy and
contented people. No eye is evel
cast toward the distant shore Of tht
Isle of Women, no regrets are
echoed in the signing of the SCI
breeze, and no remOrseful groan i
borne out in the shrieking blast
or the moan of the waves on tn,
scene of that awful slaughter o
the innocents. They have been
very happy, contented, fourishini

The "Reform Club" is the title

the purpose of discouraging the

Cowper the story of"John Gilpin,"
which, as told by her, tiCkled his
fancy so much that he was kept
awake by fits of laughter during a
great part of the night after hear
ing it, and must needs turn it into
a ballad when he got up. Mrs. I'm
wins son sent it to the Public Ad-
yertiser, where it appeared without
an authors name. John Hender-
sou, an actor from Bath, who took
the London play-goers by storm in
1777 as "Shylock," " Hamlet" and
Falstaff," was then givingreadings
at the Freemason's Tavern. He
had succeeded almost to Garrick's
fame. His feeling was so true, his
