Bluehill, March 18th, 1850.

Miss Corisande was born only two
years earlier than her brother Tom When
Tom was ten years old she gloried because
she was twelve when Tom was known TO be
fourteen. she confessed TO be sweet sixteen.
When Tom proudly boasted of eighteen,
she timidly acknowledged herself past nine
teen. When he came home from college
with a moustache and vote, and had a
party in honor OF his twenty first birthday.
she said TO her friends, What boyish
fellow he Isl who would think he was year
younger than ?" And when Tom declared
he was old enough to get married, she said
TO a gentleman friend, "Do you know feel
sayagely jealous to think of Tom getting
married. Blu, then | suppose tina, twins are
always more attached to each other than
brothers and sisters" And two years later,
al Toms wedding, she said with girlish vi
vacity to the wedding guests:
Dear old Tom, TO see him married to-
night, and then to think how, when he was
only five years old, they brought him to see
me, his baby sister. l wonder if he thinks
Of it tonight" You have me, Miss Corr
sande, probably. She lives in your town

mans study of Edgar A. Poe, which touches
with keen insight subject of failing
interest to Americans, and will tend TO re-

Poe, beautifully engraved by Cole, from a
photograph on wood Of a daguerreotype

GLOVES. ETC.

In Kid gloves the Harris kid lace top is
extremely elegant and especially adapted to
summer wear, as an opportunit! Is given for
a display Of the beautiful finish al the top.
Such finish is Of Kid finely Gu, TO resemble
lace and il j. so skiilfully done tina, the imi-
tation is remarkable. Il is either Of uniform
color with the glove, or Of white kid con
rrasted with some stylish shade and alto
gether is By far the mos; attractive glove
shown. The Harris Seamless retains posi-
ton as Perfect fitting and very durable
glove. This style is without ornament at
the top, long a, the wrist and With delicate
self stitching on the back.
Among modern conyenlences, promi-
nent place must he given to Cash's woven
initial letters which are fast superseding the
old marking ink bottle, stamping or any
such inconvenience. They are woven of a
useful size in Old English type, in Turkey
red color which is perfectly fast and being
all woven on the same SIZED piece of cloth
for the ground, can be sewn on with ma
chine or by hand They are made up in
small boxes, each containing twelve dozen
letters OF a kind, or they can be bought in
any quantity as they are brought out in long
strips that can be cut TO suit purchasers.
Many a lady allows her clothing or house
hold linen to remain unmarked, rather than
90 through the process of handling hot
irons, run the risk of spilling ink, etc. BY
the new method, marking becomes pleas
ant pastime, almost like some piece Of easy
fancy work. Handsome monograms are
also seen. Lucy CARTER.

BY WALTER TBoRSBuRY.
There I. many a rOse in the road Of life,
five would only stop TO take IL;
And many tune from the better land.
II The querulous heart would make il;
To the sunny soul that |. fall Of hope.
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth.
The grass j. green and the flowers are bright
Though the winter storm prevaileth.
There Is many a gem In the path Of life,
Which We pass in our idle pleasure.
That is richer far than the jeweiled crown,
Or the mi~er's boarded treasure;
1t may b. the love Of a little child,
Or mothers prayer TO heaven.
DIR only beggars grateful thanks
For cup Of wafer given.
Better TO weave in the web Of life
4 bright and golden filling,
Aud 10 do Gods will with n ready heart.
And hands that are ready and willing,
Than 10 snap the delicate. minute THREADS
OF our curious lives a-uuder.
And then blame Heaven for tangled ends.
And sit, and grieve, and wonder.

A Tight.PIsted Mans Christmas.

Oh but he was tight-fsted hand at
the grindstone. Scrooge! A squeezing,
wrenching, grasping, clutching, covet-
Gus old sinner The cold within him
froze in his old features, nipped his
pointed nose, shriveled his cheek made
his eyes red, his lips blue, and spoke out
shrewdly in his grating voice. He car
ried his low temperature always about
with him he iced his Office in dog days
and didn't thaw it out one degree at
Christmas.
Once upon a time, old Scrooge sat
busy in his counting-house. He could
hear the people in the court outside go
wheeling up and down, stamping their
feet upon the pavement stones to warm
them. The fog came pouring in at
every chink and keyhole, and was so
dense without that the houses opposite
were mere phantoms.
"a merry Christmas, unclel God
save you !" cried cheerful voice.

Washington Republic: An English
gentleman was recently convicted and
sentenced to one years imprisonment
for perjury in swearing that he commit
ted certain theft of which his son was
charged in order to save his boy. Half
the sentence was afterward remitted on
the facts being presented to the
Home Secretary. The contrast be-
tween this father and the Indiana man
who had his daughter thrown into jail,
from which she was brought forth q
corpse, for forging his name to check
for $500. is striking. If there is any
dispute as to which of the two is the
more worthy of heaven it might be
settled by reference to Bob Ing rsoll.

Don't Die, Please.

The Democratic organs are contiD-
ually affirming that their party won't
die. Well nobody wants it to. 1t is
as good a party as any to defeat. 1t
manages to pull itself together sufii-
ciently just before an election to awak-
en- the dormant energies of the Republi-
cans and give them all the exhIlaration
of victory. A philosophical sexton
once remarked; "Sinners are useful;
they make professors feel good" just
so the Democracy is useful. 1t makes
the Republicans feel good. Oh, no.
No Republican wants the Democratic
party to die quite yet.-New York Tri-

CHRISTMAS MELODIES.
PrcCoLA,s PRxxENr.


Poor, sweet Piccola, Did you hear
What happened to Piecola, children dear.
IT'S seldom Fortune such favor grauts
As fell 10 this little maid OF France.
Twas Christmas time, and her parents poor
C3uld hardly drive the wolf from the door,
Striving with povehy's patient pain
Only 10 live till summer again.
No gifts for Piccolal Sad were they
When dawnsd the morning of Christmas day;
Their little darling no joy might stir,
81. Nicholas nothing would bring to heri
But Piceoia never doubted at all
That sonnet hing beautiful must befall
Every child upon Christmas day,
And so she slept till the dawn was gray.
And full Of faith, when at last she woke,
Sac stole TO her sho. as the morning broke;
Such sounds OF giadpess filled the air,
Twas plain st. Nicholas had been thereI
IN rushed P;ccola sweet, half wild;
Never was seen such joyful child,
See what the gpod saint brought" she cried,
And mother and father must peep inside,
Now such a story who ever heardf
Theie was lille shivering birdl
sparrow, that ig the window few,
Had crept into Piccoia's tiny shoel
9 How good poor Piccola must have beeni
She cried. as happy IS any queen,
While the starving sparrow she fed end warmed,
And danced with rapture, she was 50 charmed.
Children, this story tell you,
OF PiccOlq sweet and her bird, Is true,
In the lar Of lard Of France, they say,
Still do they live to this very day.

And then be dissolved in a thin carcass stew.
