on forever. To fill the vacant places
of those who shall come back no
more, year after year my news
paper family has grown around me
till week after week I find lying on
my table representative journals
from every quarter Of the globe,
and from every English speaking
people on the face Of the earth. I
trust I properly estir ate the high
privilege of holding constant COM
munion with millions, whoso faces
I may never see and whose voices
I may never hear, and yet who
have to me as clear and distinct
personality, as ths,,little airy spirits
in the "Christmas Carol had to the
inspired prophet of the Bells.
Whatever may betide this jour-
ney, whether for veal or woe, it
would be worth all the trouble and
all the expense, and all the sacrifice
if it were only for the evidences Of
kindness, and friendship and love,
which my contemplated departure
has called forth. God-speeds and
good wishes have come up to me
from every quarter Of the land, and
even from over the sea have re-
ceived the kindliest greeting and
cheer from my coadjutors and
brethren of the press. If in my
prospective rest and recuperation
I shall find the panacea of which [
stand so much in need, the deyo-
ton of my life will scarcely repay
the favor it has been my good for
tune to experience. Trusting that
our separation may be brief, and
that l may soon be permitted to
hold communion with you again,
I respectfully bid you goodbye.
I am truly yours,

That it were better to forget
Our youths found history.
And yet fain would clasp that hand,
Would meet those eyes once more,
One moment by thy side would stand,
AS have stood of ycre.
They say the very tones that thrllld
My heart and dimm'd my eyes,
Now by the cold worlds blightipg child
I scarce might recognize.
And yet long to hear thee speak,
Repeat some bygone strain,
Although the charm there should seek
Were listen d for in vain.

"Mrs. Alexander T. Stewar1 re-
quests the pleasure of your COM
pany at the opening of the Women's
Hotel, on Tuesday evening, April
End, 1878. From 8 to 10 o'clock. "
So runs the formula by which
New York is invited to assist at the
inauguration Of what was once sup
posed to be the Stewart Home for
Friendless Girls. ! had occasion
to speak of this disinterested bene-
faction about two weeks ago, and
the late revelations of the present
week have confirmed my impress
sions with regard to this gigantic
sham. Whatever the original in
tention was, it appears to have been
abandoned, and now it is simply
known as the Women,s Hotel-a
much more appropriate title than
the one originally selected, for at
least it has the merit Of honesty.
It has the true Stewart ring about
it. It warns all comers that who
ever supposes that benevolence had
anything to do with its construc-
ton that they are entirely and
egregiously mistaken ; it tells them'
in plain language, that the ducats
must be paid in advance, and that
temporary bankruptcy will be
considered just grounds for sum-
mary and Immediate expulsion.
Still being woman's hotel and be-
ing governed and managed by a
woman we would naturally expect
that women might look for less
mercy and consideration than if its
destiny had been intrusted exclu'
sively to the sterner sex.
T look for the definition Of the
word Hotel as rendered by the
great photographer, Webster, and
I find that it signifies an inn OF
public house, especially one OF
some style and pretensions. There
| is another definition, however,
which is much more applicable to
the present case. "a palace OF
dwelling for person of rank OF
| wealth" I don't know that the
social distinctions which foreigners
understand as rank are fully com
pretended on this side of the water:
but certain it is that there must be
no question about the second clause
if one would wish to secure a sky
parlor in the Stewart Female Hotel
| The laws of the Medes and the Per
slams were not more infexible, and
at the same time they are sc
favored with Lacedemonian sim
plicity that one would not be sur
prised to see the iron money o:

the Russian knout the summary
means of punishment for the lod
gers.
It is very much to be hoped thai
the moral atmosphere Of this dis
tinguished hostelrY may remalr
immaculate and untainted, and Ger
tainly the efforts put forth by thu
managers entitle them to unqualified
credit. No boarder will find shel
ter beneath it's roof unless she ha'
