THE FOUNTAIN OF TEARS.

If you go over desert and mountain
Far into the country of sorrow.
To-day, and tonight, and tomorrow,
And maybe for months and for years,
You shall come with heart that is bursting
For trouble, and toihng, and thirsting-
You shall certainly come to tho fountain
At length-to the fountain OF tears
Very peaceful the place is, and solely
For piteous lamenting and signing,
And those who come living or dying,
Alike from their hopes or their fears;
Full of cypress-like shadows the place Is,
And statues that cover their faces;
But out of the gloom springs the holy
And beautiful fountain of tears.
And it flows, and it flows, with motion
SO gentle, and lovely, and listless,
And murmurs tune so resistless,
To him who hath suffered, and hears;
You shall surely, without word spoken,
Kneel down there and know your hearts Droken'
And yield to the long-curbed emotion,
That day at tho fountain Of tears.
For it grows, and it grows, as if leapins
Up higher, the more one is thinking,
And ever its tunes 60 on, sinking
More poignantly into the ears;
Yea SO blessed and good seems that fountaln-
Reached after dry desert and mountain
You shall fall down at length IN your weeping,
And battle your sad face IN Its tears.
Then. alas while you lie there a season,
And sob between living and dying,
And give up the land you were trying
To find mid your hopes and your fears,
O the world shall come up and pass Ger you;
Strong men shall not stay to care for you,
Nor wonder indeed for what reason
Your way should seem harder than theirs.
But perhaps while you lie, never lifting
Your cheek from the wet leaves 1t presses,
Nor caring to raise your moist tresses,
And look how the cold world appears;
o perhaps the mere silences round you,
All things in that place grief hath found you,
YEA cen to the clouds DER you drifting,
May soothe you somewhat through your tears.
You may feel, when falling leaf brushes
Your cheek, as though some one had kissed you,
Or think, at least, some one who missed you
Hath sent you thought, if that cheers;
Or a little birds song, faint and broken,
May pass for tender word spoken;
Enough, while around you there PUSHES
That life-drowning torrent of tears.
And the tears shall how faster and faster,
Brim over and battle resistance,
And run down bleak roads to each distance
OF past desolaton and years,
Till they cover the place OF each sorrow-
And leave you no past and no morrow
For what man is able to master
And stem the great fountain of tears?
But the floods of the tears meet and gather
The sound of them all grows like thunder,
o into what bosom, I wonder,
Is poured the whole sorrow Of years?
For Eternity only seems keeping
Account of the great human weeping.
MAY God then, the Maker and Father,
May He find place for the tears.

Matrimonial superstitions.

In the South of England it is regarded
as highly unlucky for bride on her
wedding-day to look in the glass when
she is completely dressed, before start
ing for the church. Hence very great
care is usually taken to put on a
glove, or some slight article Of adorn-
ment, after the last lingering and reluct-
ant look has been taken in the mirror.
The idea is that any young lady that is
too fond of the looking-glass will be I'M
fortunate when married. This is not,
however, the only way in which szper-
stition interferes with the grown-up
maiden's peeps in the looking-glass
Thus Swedish damsels are afraid of look
ing in the glass after dark, or by candle
light, lest by so doing they forfeit the
good will of the other sex. On the
other hand, In England, the looking
glass occasionally holds prominent pc
sition in love divinations In the north
ern counties a number of young men
and women meet together on st. Agnes
eve, at midnight, and go, one by one, to
a certain field, where they scatter some
grain, after which they repeat the fol-
lowing rhyme:

On their return home it is believed that
the shadow Of the destined bride or
bridegroom viii be seen in looking
glass on this very night. Hence, for
many an hour together, the young in
quirers sit up anxiously watching the
looking glass, before which they not in
frequently fall asleep, installing the
visions that have appeared in their
dreams for actual realities. Belgian
girls who desire to see their husbands in
a dream lay their carriers crosswise at
the foot of the bed, and looking-glass
under their pillow In this glass they
believe the desired image will appear.
Martyrs of Dress.
Fashion is pitiless in putting clothes
on women. The comfort of the wearer
is never taken into consideration. She
must make her body conform as far as
possible to the shapes of her garments,
and never mind the pinches, distortions
and exposures. To have her waist COM
pressed and her abdomen held back is
too common to excite any protest; she
endures those things as matter of
course. Tight and high-heeled shoes
are an ordinary torment; and it is un-
just to say that she might wear loose
ones if she would, for it must be borne
in mind that the neat feet are expected
of her. Mems feet are partly covered
by their trousers, and therefore do not
slow their full size but women's have
no such advantage, and when visible
are seen for all they are worth. It will
not do to enlarge them for the sake of
ease; nor to lower the heels, for no de-
vice that improves them must be neg
lected. Going to the other end of
fashionable woman, we find her head
covered or uncovered to suit the passing
caprice of style. In the present cold
weather, il she wears bonnet, it is a
mere strip across her back hair, afford
ing not the slightest warmth. She goes
with her brain chilled and her ears ach-
ing alongside male escort who is muf-

At these words Mr.. Whites resigned
all hope, and was mentally calculating
the dangers to which he would be ex-
posed if he leaped into the stalls, from
thence into the pit, and fought his way

traction, who carried a trombone under
his arm. Joy Mr.. Whites felt man

felt for his handkerchief-Mr. Puffler
followed his example. All this seemed
very mysterious, and Mr.. Whites was
lost in wonderment when the overture
commenced. Luckily, the trombones
were not wanted until the commence
ment of the drama. The overture ceased.

trombones perfectly ready, awaited the

CHINESE SMALLPOX ON BoARD-A BILL OF
HEALTH" FROM HoNGKoND.
The steamship Oceanic. which left Hongkong on
the 23d of last month and arrived in this city at
midnight, last Saturday, had on board a number of
cases OF smallpox among the eight hundred Chinese
Storage passengers. DR.. Lawlor, Quarantine Officer,
boarded the vessel yesterday morning and discov-
cred seven fully developed cases Of that disease
among the Chinese, and had six Of them removed to
the Twenty-sixth street Hospital. The other one
died about an hour after he had partaken of his
breakfast, yesterday morning. The vessel has been
placed IN quarantine, and all communication ex-
cept from the Health Department, is prohibited
The most peculiar circumstance connected with
the affair IS the fact that the American Consul at
Hongkong gave the vessel a clean bill of health.
although 1t was stated that four of the Chinese pas-
sengers were just recovering from the smallpox.
Some time yesterday another Chinese passenger.
whose name is not at present known. died. from
what Is reported as general debility.
1t IS rumored that several new cases of the dis
ease have broken out among the Chinese storage
passengers, since the removal of the others to the
Hospital.
The Board of Health will probably order the re-
moyal Of the white passengers and crew to one of
the hulks, and the Chinese to the other, in order to
thoroughly fumigate the ship. 1t may be a week
before she docks. She has about a thousand tons of
freight-S. F. .dLa.

Late Foreign News.

By the arrival of Jane A. Falkinberg, we
have advices from : Oh Francisco to the 10th ulto.
These include no items of foreign news of n
striking character except the rumourt that British
negotiations with the Beers were not unlikely 70
break down, and that there would be more fight
ing before this instruction is settled.
Lord Beaconsfeld's health had improved. IL
is worthy of note that his illness "for some con-
siderable time excited more attention in London,
than all other subjects, including the Irish
situation, the Greek question and the negoha-
ton with the Beers, showing, says the paper
from which we quote how potent this indi-

To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial AdUertiser.
The sequel to the inhuman actions of two of
the Government officials, which you were kind
enough to give publicity TO through the columns
of the ADVERTISER, is this: that owing to the
schooner "Kauikeouli' leaving suddenly, on
account of rough weather, the crazy man was
not sent but the Deputy Sheriff put him in
charge of a person by the nam of Makakoa,
and started him for Kawaihae-which place he
never reached, as he died in Waimea, on the
way. 1t is reported that ne was kicked and
otherwise maltreated to such an extent that he
died from the injuries. 1t was afterwards found
that some of his ribs were broken, and that he
was shamefully abused about the head. The
natives are somewhat angry about it, and will
try to have the thing Investigated but as those
in power are in some way mixed up in the affair,
/ do not suppose it will amount to much.

8 Apaii, a Chinese merchant, owning
Buffum's Hall, as an alternative to Criminal
Suit against George Luproil, Gan amateur police
man) has issued Civil Process to recover DANA
ges for illegal entry and breakage of premises.
A counter charge of assault against two Chinese,
servants of Apaii who arrested him when the
police failed to answer Apaii's call to arrest, has
been laid by Luproil. So far as we can learn.
Luproil, without any search warrant, and not
holding any commission from the Government,
went in quest of opium and opium smokers.
He had been told that such a discovery might be
made at Apaii's house in Hotel-street. With the
assistance of two native policemen he got a ladder
erected at the back of Buffum's Hall and got on
to the roof. From thence he descended through
an attic window into an adjoining room. The
Chinese, occupants of the room, seized him for
his intrusion, and conducted him below and
gave him in charge to his native accomplices
who were guarding the door below. These Off
Gals refused to do their duty, consequently the
Cinnamon did it for them, by conducting the
amateur detective to the police station. A crowd
of 400 or 500 Chinese followed them. Luproil
was detained until the Marshal gave orders for
his release. Two of the Chinese who were
principals in the arrest. were placed in the posi-
ton of defendant for laying their hands on the
house-breaker and detained in custody. They
were brought up on Thursday morning and re-
manded till Tuesday next, in order that a
thorough investigation be made.
