The Spring Bonnets.


Jennie June, recognized authority on
the subject, says the new departure few
years ago in millinery, the introduction OF
picturesque hats and eccentric bonnets.
seems to have exhausted genius in this
direction. We have iteration but nothing
that is actually novel, and much that is
unreasonable. The gold tissues for crowns.
the si!k and gold stutfs for trimmings, the
gold lace and the long gold ornaments are the
new things, but they are not appropriate to
the season. The gilt Of lace and manufac-
tured ornamentation looks like tinsel in the
tender sunlight of May, the brightness OF
howery June. One turns with a sense of
wearlness from these splenders, to simple
lunches Of cOwsiips, and to waves of soft
white lace, in conjunction with roses and
jasmine and forget-ms.nots upon delicate
chip.
The shapes are hdeous in the hand: it is
said they are more becoming upon the head.
Whether that is to he understood as a com
pliment to the head or the bonnet we have
not been able to discover. They are not
particularly new. They really and truly
look as if they had been selected from
among the ugliest that have made their ap.
pearance for the past five years. The bon
nets many of them are short at the ears and
broad-the Queen Anne style. The turban
hats are large and full in the crown, also,
and perfectly straight and plain around the
face. Soft oval crowns of this description
are not unbecoming, for the edge is finished
with border of ruching, offs lace. or Of
feathers or fringe of beads or small flowers
which is supplemented by the pretty fluff
ness of the hair.
The Tuscan straw bennets with epen
lace" like brim are revived after having
lain dormant for about quarter of a cen
tury. In the red rage which has seized
upon fashion, the Tuscan is naturally all
lined and trimmed with red, and it has
hardly yet been discovered how we'll it
trims with creamy white or black lace and
daisies.
Charming crown bonnets are constructed
of foundation frame and covered with
tulle and small white roses, with fringe of
lilies Of the valley for borders. These are
lovely hats for brides, and by far the pret-
tiest things which have made their appear

THE DWELLER IN THE LAND OF
DEATH.

BY EMILY BRONTE.
The linnet in the rocky dells,
The mOOr-lark in the air,
The bee among the heather bells.
That hide my lady fair:
The wild deer brows above her breast;
The wild birds raise their brood;
But they her smiles of love caressed,
Have left her solitude!
ween, that when the graves dark wall
Did first her form retain:
They thought their hearts could ne'er recall
The light of joy again.
They thought the tide of grief would flow
Unchecked through future years;
But where is all their anguish now,
And where are all their tears?
Well, let them fight for honor's breath,
Or pleasures shade pursue
The dweller in the land of death
Is changed and careless toe.
And. if their eyes should watch and weep
Till sorrows source were dry,
She would not. i'll her tranquil sleep,
Return single sigh!
Blow west-wind, by the lonely mound,
And murmur. Summer streams
There is no need of other sound
