Female Dre.. in Ancient Times.

the most splendid article Of clothing
was the turban, for those who could
afford it. The other people bad to be
satisfied with winding piece feloth
round their head, and fixing it as well
as they could. Turbsns are Of vari-
Gus colOrs: and wound in different
waFs: some OF them are like q high

fastened with latchets. The ladies',
who carried luxury into every depart
ment, and who are supposed, even to
tbe present time, TO be far from IN
different - a nice, neat boot. or to
elegant slippers, had their shoes, or
rather their sandal, and their lstchets
made Of colOred leather; dark blue,

bracelets Of gold, or dainty silver
chains and rings, with tiny silver
bells. Hair nets end head bands were
in great request The latter were
made Of gold or silver, and worn IN

to the other. Earrings were nuch

The left nostril was pierced for the

The story OF q Mummy.

For seventeen years the mos. clri-
Gus object in the museum of the Ten-
nessee Historical Society has been
the Egyptian mummy. 1t has very
singular history. la 1860 Collnel
Jeremiah George Harris was pur-
ser on a United States man-of-wsr
in the Egyptian waters. lie went
on shore, and was at once ushered into
the august presence of the khedive
aud bis numerous household. lie
was walking out ole day with men,
Der of the Kbediye's ssalf, when the
latter was set upon by ruflians
Colonel Harris, who is man of great
strength, interposed, and the ronghs
were vanquished.
What can do" asked the Egyp-
tian officer. ito show adequate sppro-
baton of the services you have render
ed nee ?"
Give me mummy" laughingly
suggested Colonel Harris
"A mummy repeated the officer,
holding his breath and pondering
did you not know, sir, that our
laws prohibit the removal Of mummics,
under penalty Of death? But never
mind your request shall be fulfilled
just before your vcssel leaves the bar
Dor, boat will eome alongside. 1t
will contain that for which you have
asked - ~
Colonel Harris had dismissed the
Subject from bis mind, bat just before
the hour for the departure of the ship
three natives were seen pulling toward
the vessel The boat contained a
bundle directed to Colonel Harris
This bundle was not opened until the
arrival Of the ship at Boston, when it
was discovered that there were six
mummies instead Of one They were
uHwrappsd, and the besl ,,one sorwarded
to the Tennessee Historical Society, I
Of which Colonel Harris was then and !
is still member.
When Professor Huxley was here
be examined the mummy with a
great deal of interest, aud said tha:
be believed it to be the best pressrv-
ed specimen either in America or in
Europe.
About seven months ago a curious
visitor broke one Of the panes in the
case in which this ancient Egyptian |
was put in 1850 Almos; Immediate
ly be began to show that he objected
to fresh air. Some Of bis toes crum-
bled aud hung down over the foot in
dilspidated condition. A new case
was made. The new case is made of
walnut with black velvet trimmings,
and has pillow for the head, whereas
before it rested upon a block. The
remains we're well busted, aud looked
quite spruce in their new quarters.
The mummy measures four feet
and III inches, 10 inches across the
hips, aud l3 inches across the shoul
ders, with hands 64 inches in length. /

Life Is full! Of ups and downs
Valleys, plains. and mountains.
Not forever are our tents
Pitched by pleasant fountains.
Sometimes In the burning sun,
Sometimes In the shadow
Nowwc climb the rocky steep, =
Now We tread the meadow.
Life Is full OF ups and downs
Made OF gains and losses
Flowers that grow on prickly stems,
Crowns that hang on crosses.
Summer breezes fan our cheeks,
Wlntry blasts alright us;
And when SHOWS white mantle rends,
Springs fair sights delight US.
Murnur not at ups and downs,
They are needful changes;
He can never err in aught
Who thy lot arranges.
Seeknot is the highest good
Thy content and pleasure
Wings have they to fly thee still
Seek a better treasure.
Wculdst thou make life's ups and downs
Easier seem and and brighter,
Share thy fellows heavy load
Thine shall be the lighter.
Smooth the pillows OF the sick,
Sweet shall be thy slumber;
VIII TO bless shall bring to thee
Blessings without number.
Who wonldd these ups and downs.
Since they bring US nearer
To the outer wall Of life.
Where tho light grows clearer:
Nearer 10 the heart Of Him
Who. with gentle guiding,
Leads through all life's wearer ways,
Intopeace abiding:
Love can take from ups and downs
All the pain and trouble:
For the JOY We give away
Comes back more than double,
Love to Christ and love to man,
And hear. forgiven,
Make the ups and downs Ct lile
Just path to heaven.
