She trusted me with woman's trust,
And l. poor trihing, shutiiing knave--
Accepted OF the trust she gave,
With soul more generous than just.
For weary days wronged her sore
trampled on her trusting heart,
Until found that we must part,
As she could never trust the more.

Watering Place Friendships.

II is doubtful il fashionable women
always love each other, but IL is good
taste at a watering place to pretend to
do so. It is one Of the few occasions
when assimilation is to DO advised as
one of the virtues. Female friendships
are often but the result of propinquity.
Their roots are not very deep. Rival
ries are constant, and GOODNESS and
ouavrels arc sometimes inevitable. We
should at least pay society, however,
the respect of not troubling II with our
animosities, publicly exposed.
Women should not talk too much at
watering place, even If they talk very
well. Perhaps the better they talk the
less they shomr'uisphg' ria delightful
gift. Some one is sure to say, 'Cfy
she is talking to make an impression. :"
Many women with high spirits, wit and
power of expression, while simply
pouring forth their charming eloquence,
are supposed to be talking for effect.
All great talents and great beauty are
dangerous gifts. Beauty is of itself a
suspicious circumstance, so few OF US
have it," said Sydney Smith. There
are many hatreds and antipathies en-
gendered by the pursuit of pleasure in
our hot-house atmosphere Of watering
place society. 1t is doubtful II any gay
and idle life improves us. Still, as
more people are thoughtless than bad,
it would be absurd to suppose that, the
cultivation of the social graces should
always result in crop of weeds. III
we could only learn TO disarm criticism
by an elegant reserve of manner. to be
polite, graceful, and not too ELUSIVE at
a watering place, we should escape
much malignant and disagreeable
speech. The young aspirant for fash
ion must expect TO receive some sharp
wounds, however. She is going into
the front of battle, and she must buckle
on her armor.

A Roma of Woman,s Hair.

In his detail of Indian horrors that
came under his notice, Mr. Markley,
the New Mexico Indian killer, stated
that in 1867 he gave an Indian half a
dollar for hair rope ten feet in length
and about the size of his little finger.
He UNFINISHED the end and found that it
was made of red, auburn and black
hair, which, from the length of each
hair, was evidently that Of a woman.
He questioned the Indian, who told
him the rope was made from the hair
of the women and girls slain in the
Mountain Meadow massacre, for COM
plicity with which murder John ID.
Lee, the Mormon. was tried and shot a
few years ago. The place where he
purchased the rope was at Palerona-
cote, sixty-tve miles from Mountain
Meadow, where the most narrowing
and brutal massacre of modern times
occurred. ST Louis Republican.

went to take leave of the general. when
the following dialogue was had:
