Fashionable Umbrellas.

of the transitions and innovations are re-
plete with interest. For example, club
nabob gave an order recently for brown
silk umbrella. The stretchers, tips, and
cuff, also ferrule, are plated gold, the
handle pure ebony finished with gold,
and the price is fifty dollars. Another
society gentleman has given an order for
brown silk umbrella to be finished off
in silver; the figures are ten dollars. A
handsome family umbrella, thirty-one
inches long, with solid ivory handle, will
cost twenty dollars. A lovely umbrella,
in blue silk, just made for Fifth
Avenue lady, has the handle of pearl
and gold; the price is thirty dollars A
handsome black silk rain umbrella, made
for one of our favorite actresses, has
carved irvory handle, and is marked at
twenty-five dollars. A gentleman be
longing to the Lotus Club has ordered
brown silk rain umbrella, to be finished
in gold-washed tips, stretchers, and a
handle of ivory and gold, at cost of
fifty-fve dollars. A very pretty rain
umbrella, made for lady in Washing
ton society, has the silk of blue black /;
the handle is ivory, elaborately carved
and finished off with band of gold,
price thirty dollars.

The Grass Tree.

Among the anomalies of Australia is a
singular growth of the forest that devi-
ates as much from tree as a kangaroo
from the ordinary types of animals, al
though it is called tree The grass tree
grows in rocky places .unfavorable for
other vegetable productions. Absolute
barrennessis spot where the plant -four
ishes best, apparently, though elements
must abound there which are appropriate
nourishment. A mass of grass-looking
fibers gradually rise out of the ground.
From day to day there is an increase of
bulk and height very much resembling
an elevated tuft of long grass gracefully.
falling off from central shaft. Those
pendant threads are leaves. Very soon
from the top of the pile slender stalk
shoots, up perpendicularly from four to
ten feet, terminating in spike. That is
sought by natives for spears, being hard
and somewhat elastic. Within the pit is
an article of food. In the rude and saw
age condition of the indigenous Austral-
ians the grass tree furnishes weapon of
extraordinary usefulness for meeting the
circumstances of a barbarous state of So
ciety. Without it no other equally eff
ficient instrument of defense against en-
emies, or for, ,contending with ,ferocious
animals, is at their command,

When they had plenty of time to ad-
mire it, we took the wonder tree into the
cottage and inspected it at our leisure,
and in the privacy of our family.
Of course the children were wild with

GLEANLNGS FROM THE MUSE.
A ROMANCE

Though I met her but a minute,
Yet her smile spoke volumes in it,
And l svore that | would win il,
To be mine for now and aye.
SO the next time that I saw her,
On my knees fell before her
And with fervor did implOre her
With me TO live and die.
As poured my soul out to her,
In my attempt to WOO her,
/ said that while | knew her,
No other love I'd know.
And no harm should e'er betide her.
II she'd let me walk beside her,
Through the paths Of life TO guide her,
In her journey here below.
So when my word was spoken,
In silence all unbroken,
waited for token
Or expression OF her love.
And her cheek was dyed with hushes,
Colored by her own sweet brushes,
As with voice as soft as thruahez
Or the cooling Of . dove,
Answered me my loved divinity,
Saying, would be your affinity,
But a tie Of consanguinity
Compels me To say nay;
To one husband I'm restricted,
And with that I'm now afflicted,
And as mora are interdicted,
I'll bid you now good-day,
