A Bedchamber in the Pompeiian Style.

The Princess de Mettsrnich (who, by
the way, in the presence of few init
mates occasionally condescends to sing
some of the songs of the cafes and rem
ders them with the chic and success of
Therese herself) has fitted up Pom.
peiisn bedchamber ut her villa. The
walls and ceilings ore in pale blue, the
panels being occupied by nymphs and
goddesses barely yelled with robes of
gauze, with for border light tracery of
foliage, Tritons and Loves. From the
center of the ceiling hangs lamp OF
,nother-of-pearl, curiously wrought,which
sheds a pale, rosy halt-light over the
dainty room. The tables aud stands are
of maple. inlaid with gold and tortoise.
shell, with silver knick. kuacks, cups,
and statuettes, ETC., thickly strewn upon
them. The chests and wardro5es are OF
ricely carved elm and birch. The floor
is of mosaic, and ON it are scattered fresh
flowers of strong fragrance. Finally,
the bed is of carved ivory, OVERLAND with
mother-ofpearl; the coverlet is of purple
silk, embroidered and deeply fringed
with silver, and from silver hooks and
rods depend semi-transparent curtains.
A couch tit for Tensyson's "Sleeping
Beauty" There Is also in La Vie Paris-

be mentioned in the same breath: che
mise of pink Chinese silk, with Veleu-
ciennes luce trimmings; lace hongreline,
with bouffettes of pearl gray satin; a
wee tulle cap, white silk mitts, and a
double row of amber beads at the wrists
and throat as charm to insure peaceful
sleep and pleasant dreams.-N.Y. World.

THE DIVORCE OF OLD COUPLEs.-
Divorce is bad enough at best. Even
for causes which justify it, and in cases
where it seems to be necessity, it can
not properly be looked upon but as a
calamity OF the most dreadful character.
We have had frequent occasion to con-
denim the practice of seeking and obtain
ing divorces on slight grounds. The
whole divorce record is painful exhibit
ton, showing view Of human nature
not to he proud of.
But the darkest page Of this record.
which, as whole, has no tinges Of
brightness, is that which presents the his.
tory of divorces between aged couples
husbands and wives who have passed
three score years, twO-thirds of which
they have lived together, and who
now seek, through judicial proceedings, "a
separation from each other for the
wretched remnan, of sheir days. Can any
thing & more unsecmly more shocking
Sometimes IN these cases IL 10 not the
old people themselves only who arc sf
