A Bride and a Corpse within Three
Hours.

We have never had a more painful
duty to fulfil than that which we per-
form to-day in chronicling the death of
Mrs. WaIpolc, wife of our esteemed
friend and confrere, Mr.. James M. Wal
pole. The simple notice which appears
in another part Of this paper, ANNOUNCING
the marriage of Mr.. Walpole to Miss
Monnie M, Pritchard, of this city, at
half past five o'clock, and the death of
the bride at half past eight the same
evening, will tell the sad story, and
awaken the sorrowing sympathy of many
who are strangers to both. The engage
ment had been announced some months
since, and the wedding day had been
liked for the 10Th of the present month.
But a few days ago, the future of these
two seemed bright with the promises of
a happy welded life, and their friends
looked forward with pleasure to the
event which was TO celebrate the union
of two hearts already united in the most
loyal and devoted affection, But an
overruling Providence, whose DEGREES
a may not fathom nor question, had
willed otherwise. Wednesday night the
deceased was attacked by a sudden illness,
and its fatal course developed 10 RAPIDLY
that yesterday the attending physicians
pronounced the case beyond the reach of
human skill. The marriage ceremony
was sOlemnized in the death chamber.
while the hue Of lie faded from the fair
face of her whose earthly existence had
seemed but u few short hours before 80
full of joy and hope, and in barely three
hours afterward death had claimed the
bride at the hands of the griet.stricken
husband.--New Orleans Picdwne.

Incident i'm the Life of a Princess.

There is now on exhibition in the Lon
don Royal Academy picture painted
by Mrs. E. M. Ward which represents an
incident in the life of Princess Charlotte
Of Wales, which the following extract
from the catalogue describes: "When
the Princess Charlotte was taking her
usual walk with single attendant, she
saw boy very ragged in his attire, sit
ting under hedge, crying and faint
from wound in his hand. She fastened
to him and asked the cause of his tears.
Taking ont. her handkerchief, she was
proceeding to bind it, when she was
checked by the lady. Have I not read
in my Bible said the lovely child, that
He who was greater than any earthly
king healed the wounds Of the leper; and
shall not follow His example, and bind
the wounds of this poor boy?'" The
time is a sunny afternoon, and a view Of
Windsor Castle in the background indi
cetes the locality. The object of the
Princess sympathy is seated on rude
bench by the roadside. Near him is &
basket of flowers which he had beer
gathering when he met with his acci
dent. The Princess is charming girl
and her face wears an expression of ten
derest sympathy. Her naughty attend
ant is in the act reminding the Princes
of her position; but the latter continue
her work of mercy and administers tn
crushing rebuke given above.

again. The button on the door of the
hen-house turns itself round, and they
had to stay shut up in there almost two
hours. They hollered just as loud as
they could, and then cried, and then
they pounded, and then they kicked
the door, and then they did all these
same things over again. When Hiram
put the cow in the barn, he heard them
pounding, and heard Snip barking.
Snip was lying down outside, and some
times he got up and barked. One day,
the Jimmyjohns went off in a boat, and
it was bad weather, and they almost got
drowned. This almost makes me cry
for then we could never, never see our
little Jimmies any more. Oh! what
should we do without our dear little
Jimmies? abby Morton Dias, in st.

Wanted to Exchange,

When Sir Samuel Baker, the African
traveller, was taking leave of Kamrasi,
King of Unyoro, that potentate asked
him, as particular favor, to leave Lady
Baker behind. This cool request raised
Sir SamuePs ire, and in high Indignation
he told the King that if ever he made
such request again he would shoot him.
Lady Baker, too, who overheard and
understood the offer, felt that a word
from her would not be out of place, and
gave the monarch piece of her mind in
the strongest language she could com
mand. His Majesty for a while was
greatly astonished, being unconscious of
having given any offense. At last, see
ing that his guests were really angry, he
said, in deprecating tone, "Don't be
angry. did not mean to offend you by
asking for your wife. will give you a
wife if you want one, and | thought you
would have no objections to give me
yours. 1t is my custom to give my
visitors pretty wives, and [ thought you
would like to exchange. Don't make a
fuss about it; if you don't like to do as
others do there's an end of it."

have one or two long loops, three-eighths
long after being doubled, then two ends
of the same length; above the strap,
which is tight, as if securely knotted, are
three standing ends, each a finger long,
and notched out in saw teeth. Gros grain,
satin, or velvet ribbons, two inches wide
are used for these bows, and sometimes,
IN order to give greater variety of color
the ribbon is double-faced. Bows with
shorter loops are placed on the wrists, at
the throat, and sometimes down the en-
tire front
White dresses are made of plain Swiss
muslin or organdy, dotted or sprigged.
They are made in the manner described
for batistes, and often furnished with an
under slip, not of thick, warm silk, as
they formerly were, but of pale blue or
rose organdy lawn. This is usually of
princesse shape, and is trimmed on the
end with single anticipating. The eff
feet of these thin under dresses beneath
the transparent white lawn is very light
and pretty. Some white polonaises are
made of tucks their entire length sepa-
rated by lengthwise insertions of Smyrna,
thread, Honiton, or Valenciennes lace
The novelty and freshness of these
dresses also depend on their ribbons be-
ing in the new shades and odd contrasts,
and 1t will be an easy matter to modernize
white dresses of last year by adding
panels, Marguerite bows and jabots of
satin ribbons.
The summer silk dresses shown at the
fashionable modistes are not the checked
and stripped taffets worn last year, but
ia Il ~,
less silks in figured designs, armure pat
terms, damask and fish scale brocades. If
checks and stripes are used at all, they
are vague and irregular, with dashes of
color, or else quaint contrasts, such as
cream with pink or rose with cardinal,
blue with olive, or plum-color with pink.
They are made up as polonaises. with
plain silk passions or vests and skirts,
or else with habit basques, Breton vests,
and overskirts that form part of the
lower skirt. The plastron, the square
neck, and the vest are popular features,
one of which appears on all such suits.
The basque with belt in front is also
favorite for summer silks, and pretty
novelty has the belt passing over vest
of contrasting color.
The newest dressy trimming for the
neck is a boa made of white lace studded
with small flowers, such as violets, my
osotis, or lilac.
Lace barbes are embroidered or else
in India colors, such as
olive, tilleul, blue, mandarin and cardin-
al; price, S..
Handkerchiefs and neck-ties for morn
ing wear are trimmed with the new col
ored torchon laces, either blue or red
with white, insertions and edgings.

else by attentions that are undesirable to
woman who, to grow in strength, must
grow apart, and who, to succeed, must
not be embarrassed by so-called friends.
Learn early the value of personal indie
pendence; strive to live above society
and aspire to that culture and grace
which render it unnecessary. Rejoice IN
your single-heartedness; delight in being
magnanimous, for woman, to be really
independent, must be lofty of soul anu
above the masses in every moral attribute.
Rid yourself of women who hamper you !;
avoid, as you would pestilence, women

Fresh impOrtations OF thin dresses show
many novelties in the elaborate toilettes
that are to be worn at the watering
places during midsummer. The greater
number of these are costumes of the new
batistes, white muslins, thin grenadines
richly embroidered in most delicate
colors, also few bareges and summer
silks. The batistes are so deliberately
made and trimmed, and are of such rich
colors, that they will be used for after
noon receptions, summer fetes, ETC., in
stead of for morning and travelling suits,
as they formerly were They come in
pale blue, faded rose, pale gray or cream
tints in solid colors, or else striped with
white; or they may be black wrought all
over with cardinal and cream color, OF
else white embroidered with navy blue
and cardinal red together. They are
made without lining in the waist, and
are either long polonaises draped with
scarfs or else basques and most intricate
oyerskirts. The lower skirts have knife
plaitings edged with lace, either Valen
ciennes, Smyrna or Maltese, and some
times the new church laces /" are used

HILLS OF TIPPERARY.

BY DE..JoYCE.
Oh Mary, dear, it's long ago
Since hand ia hand together
We sat in pleasant Rossaroe,
Amid the blooming heather.
Your eyes were like the lustre shed
By heaven, SO blue and airy,
Your cheeks were like the roses red,
Mid green hills of Tipperary.
Oh the hills the hills so green,
The hills so high and airy,
May heavens shine DER them ever sheen,
The hills of sweet Tipperary.
;: ;:
What vows in that sweet spot we made
OF true love fond and tender,
Nor dreamed that joy could falsely fade
Like that gay sunsets splendor;
Nor thought deaths gloom and misery
Our happiness could vary,
So blindly wrapt in love were we,
Mid green hills of Tipperary.
What hopes were doomed, what fortunes fell
Since you and | together
Sat by St. Brendan's sunlt well,
Amid the blooming heatherl
wandered far from Rossaroe,
No longer blithe and airy,
And on your grave the shamrocks grow
Mid green bills of Tipperary.

Russian Black Bread.

A correspondent of London paper
has thrown out the ingenius suggestion
that black bread used by Russian sol
diers was comprised in the regimen
adopted by John the Baptist in the will
derness. This is an elastic theory. The
bread eaten by Cossack cavalry and Rus
sian infantry is very coarse and greasy.
A soldier prefers, when he can get it, to
break the bread into small pieces, which
he puts into a bowl and pours hot water
over it; the grease then develops into a
gravy and forms simple kind of soup,
1t was eaten with wooden spoon, at
least that was favorite implement at
the time of the Crimean war; every sol
dier carried one of these spoons, ano
many of them were brought home az

A Heroine Right or Wrong.
From the New Orleans Democrat.

We were the witness of a tender and
beautiful scene in 1861. 1t was early in
May. and a fair Louisiana girl was bid
ding her soldier lover goodbye. Her
head was bowed upon his breast, and
she was weeping bitterly. But when he
besought her to dry her tears and display
a brave heart, she lifted her head, and
looking him proudly in the face, said ::
[ am weeping because you are going
where there is danger and probably
death, but" and the blood mantled to
her white cheeks, {" if you were not
going, you'd see me blush and bow my
head in shame" Once again we saw
that girl. A division of Federal troops
were attacking a body of Confederate
cavalry near where she was taking refuge,
in full view of her house, and the shells
and round-shot Kissed over the village and
plowed through it's streets, and there she
stood gazing eagerly at the battle, heed
less of shot and shell, as though they had
been rose-leaves scattered around her by
an autumnal wind; her hands were
whittier than lilies; her whole form
seemed to heave with excitement; but
there was battle-fre in her blue eyes,
By heavens! we believe that had it been
possible, she would have dashed into
the thickest of the fight; her very soul
seemed to glory in the blaze and thun-
der of the battle. That girl had the
heart of Richard Ceur de Lion. But
she faded away with the strength of the
Confederacy, and then they dressed her
in white robes, folded her hands on her
bosom, and laid her away: and when
the last ragged Confederates had sur
rendered their guns, her soul'had van
ished from the earth.

THE completion of the new Der

tunnel has thrown out of employment
$50 men, representing with their fam

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
The Fish that Went Ashore.

One day the fish were so enraged
AT the boys who came to swim,
They yow'd they'd catch the first who plunged
And make quick work with him.
But the boy kicked out to right and left.
And not a fish could stay;
SO they wiped their eyes and wrung their fms
Until he went away.

AT noon, and let them see
How we can go and bother them

With things that lay around
One bore the farmers old buck-saw,
And one his pitch-fork found;
Another seized his housewives broom,
Another got the scythe;
AND thus equipped they soon began
To wFiggle and to writhe.
They wriggled and they wFithed, poor things
They cried aloud with pain -
And to the cool refreshing tide

MORAL,

Now here's the moral of my tale
And, prythee, well construe it;
Whene'er you try to vengeance take,
Be sure that you can do it;
Or, like the fish who went ashore,
You very soon will rue it.
ST Nicholas
