PASSING AWAY.
BY A. NJ. r.

" Was it the chime of tiny bell,
That came so sweet to dreaming ear?
Or the silvery notes of a fairy knell ?"
No it was not the chime of fairies, nor
the tone of silvery bell though it eeas a
sound which told of the lapse of time.
A beautiful child reposed upon messy
bank, by the side of family flowing river.
Pretty and petite, bedecked with flowers,
with the light breeze gently playing with
the golden ringlets which encirced her
head, she looked as though she might be-
long to the band of fairies which, it was
said, haunted the spot at the witching hour
of midnight. In her hand she held clus-
ter of elegant flowers, and as she plucked
from among them some which had yielded
to the whitening influence Of the sun, she
seemed to repeat" passing away, passing
away"
Again | looked. The vision had altered
The stream was as beautiful in it's mirror
like grandeur, the messy bank as imposing
in its loneliness as before for nature
changes not, but to increase in wealth
But the light hearted child had grown into
transformed into garland of white buds
She joyfully danced, and gayly caroled,
meanwhile tossing the garland above her
head. They told me she was soon to be a
bride, while anticipating SO much happiness
| heard in the same sweet voice" passing
away, passing away"
Even as gazed upon the fair form a
shade of thought, perchance, or care,
seemed softly stealing over the lovely fea-
lures. and as she Graded in her arms a
new found treasure, the same words
issued from the rubby lips
The vision faded. When it was renewed,
what change had passed over the com
panion of fairies, The figure was bent,
the hand which tossed the garland, with
cred now, held a staff. The eye was dim,
and the once rosy cheeks were scanned
with age. The garland lay Wondering in
the dust. And still, as | hearkened, the
lay was the same" passing away, pass
ing away"
When again | paused to view the spot,
she was gone. Other fairy forms and
bright faces had taken her place, The
garland had long since mingled with
the dust, and been carried away by the
/ flow of the waters. All that reminded me OF
the fairy maiden, had vanished.
/ Yet could | not grieve. For God hath
said, my kingdom endureth forever
and though heaven and earth pass, His
word shall not -Godey's Magazine.

The one she chose, she did not get,
And now she hasn't any.
She looks in vain for one to come,
But yet she fingers on

Sad fate, indeed, thus left alone,

SPRING FASHIONS FOR MEN.

From the handsome and varied styles of
suitings displayed in the windows of the
merchant tailoring establishments in Chest
nut street, it would seem that the Spring
trade in this direction is expected to be ex-
tremely lively. Whatever changes the in
tervening year has brought about in mems
fashions, have, happily, tended toward SIM
plicity. The prevailing style for general
wear is a morning coat and vest made from
a black or blue diagonal or fancy weave
of cheviot goods in solid color, with fancy
cashmere trousers of pattern adapted to
the figure of the wearer. The most fash.
ionable coat is made with the three but
tons to button, of medium length in the
skirt and waist, moderately cut away in
front, and without flaps on the hips. For
trousers the principal styles are checks over
a diagonal ground. In fancy suitings for
undress wear, single breasted sack, to
button four bottoms, cut straight in front
and rounded off little at bottom, is con-
sidered in best taste. For second dress,
the double breasted frock coat continues to
be the leading style, made from the diago-
nal and basket worsteds. Blue is sought
after this season, being an agreeable change.
One of the most useful garments worn is
the Chesterfield, or sack overcoat. They
are made in the prevailing style and of me-
dunn length, with silk on breast or velvet
collar. White waistcoats are of medium
length, and are worn rather high, with five
buttons. For this information we are in
debted to the courtesy of the well-known
merchant tailors Messrs. Hoyt & Day, No.
1903 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, who,
from their position. and experience, are the
acknowledged authority on these subjects.
