DAYS OF YOUTH.


o for the trusting days of youth
When the pure heart knew no guile
When the soul was limpid well of truth;
Lit by an Angels sulilel
o TOR the fearless eyes that looked
On the dimpled waves calm flow,
Nor turned with dewy lids from the thought
OF the dead who slept below.
o for the dreams-the radiant dreams
That came floating from above,
When Earth seemed glorious Eden-land,
And my heart the throne Of Love
When the very breeze whose perfumed breath
TOyed with the whispering leaves
Seemed the echoed sweep of Angel-wings
That came with dewy evesi
o for the love-the holy love-
That came down like a dove TO It's nest,
And nestled down, with low, sweet song.
And folded plumes in my breastt
How could dream that, Prometheus-hke,
yielded banquet rare,
That ever grew for the cruel claws
And sanguine beak TO tear?
o for the faith-the earnest faith
OF the soul that trusted in God,
Tho the heart and brow were conyulsed with
pain,
1 bent low to His Christening rod.
o for the pure, unquestiOning faith
That turned from the shadow of strife,
And lifted above the clouds OF doubt
A pure, unselhsh lifel
Youth and Love. and Hope have passed
Beyond that mystic sea
That ever breaks with a yOiceless wall
On the shores of Eternity
And shadOWy, vague and underlined
As clouds that incumber the West,
The tangled web of my life appears
o for the graves cold restl

A style TO dress to be in fashion this
spring is called robe espagnole." 1t con-
sists of black lace founces placed in a certain
way over colored or black duchess satin.
The same style will also be made all in
white. In the back on the upper part of the
skirt is an enormous MORE antique or satin
bow. The bow is in the color of the under
part of the skirt. For evening wear the
waists are low in the neck, with lace over
the neck. This kind of dress will doubtless
meet with much favor, as it will be too costly
to be generally adopted, and will conse-
quently not become common. 1t is also
change from the draperies so much abused
of late.

A fashionable lady in New Orleans has
the credit of originating and carrying out
successfully the novel freak of giving party
at which tissue paper dresses only should be
all the delicate shades, and in very brilliant
and vivid enes. All of the invited guests at
once recognized the idea as a happy one, and
in their zeal made the result such COM
plete success that even the originator was
astonished. In truth the dresses conjured
out of this soft, gauzy material are extremely
beautiful The great variety OF colors Is
practically inexhaustible, so that every COM
bination and effect is possible. Then the pa
per can be made to initiate almost any kind
of trimming, laces, fringes, pufis and ruffies,
and all of the indescribab.e trimmings that
can he produced by ingenious fingers. II

A SPIRITuALISTS FUNERAL,
The Peculiar Ceremonies Attending tn
Burial of Mrs. Meyenberg.


The funeral of Mrs. Meyenburg, wife
chant, which took place yesterday afternoon from
Mr.. Meyenbergs residence, No. 707 street north
west, was attended by a large number of people,
and was remarkable for the peculiar nature of the
ceremonies. Mr.. Meyenberg and his deceased wife
have for many years been prominent members of
the band of spritualists in this CITY, Spiritualism
was their religion.
DR.. Mayhem, a gentleman entertaining views
similar to Mr.. Meyenberg's, conducted the cere
monies, which were very impressive. AS the
friends assembled in the parlors. and also after the
ceremony when the gathering dispersed, piano
was played and all of the proceedings reflected
the belief of the spiritualists that death is only
the transition or promotion of the spirit.
The casket was heaped with beautiful floral of
ferings.
DIR. Mayhem having made few impressive re-
marks abiding to thenew life which the departed
spirit had entered. read poem. Mrs. Myra Clark
of New York, a spiritualist, also made few re-
marks and recited an inspirational poem, from
which the following lines are taken:
Her note was truth-whence struck the KEY
Whose sound shall charm these angels here
And with its march doth say to thee,
Intending life through every sphere ?"
No, not dead! The grace of truth
Has laid its mantle DER her grave,
While death no more hath power, forsooth,
And millions shout, We come to save"
The remains were taken to the German burying-
ground, where they were inferred. Here, as the
first clOd was thrown upon the casket, Mrs. Clark
pronounced the familiar words from the ritual
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes" and recied another
inspirational poem, with which the ceremonies
ended.

The first meeting of the Classical Society
as organized was held at the studio of Miss c. L.

Hon. s. Shelabarger, the president, made a brief
and pointed opening address, and introduced as
the essayst of the evening General William Birney,
formerly professor at the University of France who
proceeded TO read an able and scholarly paper on
The Annals of Tactus.' It was mainly devoted
to a review of a work by a Mr.. Ross, an English
writer in which he undertakes to prove the annals
a forgery. General B. eontroverted this view, and
his argument, supported by copious citations from
ancient authorities showed great research and
acumen At its close discussion of the essay fol-
lowed, opened by Judge Shellabarger (who re-
ferred particularly to the passage in Tacitus
relative to Jesus Christi, and participated
in by Professor Taylor, Auditor Reynolds (who
gave humorous turn to the debate, and proposed
the author, Ross, as an honorary member of the
society, and others. General William H Browne,
the corresponding secretary, read number of re-
grets from parties invited, among othersa telegram
from General Garfield who said: SHOULD be glad
to comply with the wishes of the Classical
Society, but it is at present impossible for
me to devote any time to subjects much more an
cient than 1881" Chief Justice Waite was pre-
velfed attending by company at home, and Jus
tice Bradley by pressure of official business. 1t

THE PUBLIC LANDS,
what Portion Have Not Been GObbled
by the Pacific Railroads.


The auditor of railroad accounts
has submitted to the House of Representatives,
through Mr.. McLane, of Maryland, for the use of
The Committee on Pacific Railroads an elaborate
report showing the quantity and value of the pub
lie lands heretofore granted by Congress to aid in
the construction of the Pacific railroads. which
have not vested in said roads by the terms of the
several laws granting such lands, and the guam
City and value of said lands which have vested in
Eaid roads, how the same have been disposed Of
ut what price, and also how the proceeds of the
same have been disposed of. Also the cost in de-
tail of the construction of completed road, and
the estimated cost in detail of the construction of
read necessary TO be built in order to complete the
said railroad in accordance with the requirements
flaw. Also he cost or estimated cost of con-
Eruction of any and all railroads built or proposed
TO be built parallel adjacent TO the said rail
roads, whether or not the same are located on the
line or lands reserved by any ofthe said granting
sets of Congress, DC, &c.
After quoting the laws relative to the respective
roads, and referring TO their present status the re-
port concludes with recapituation, which shows
that there remain " invested by reason of nom
construction of the respective railroads for which
grants were made the following lands: Northern
Pacific, q 10000 acres; California and Oregon
1851 6S2 acres Atlantic and Pacific ID SOS $50 acres
Southern Pacific, 4,757, S4 acres; Texas and Pacific,
12,0O0,000 acres. Of these railroads the Northern
Pacific, the Atlantic and Pacific and the Texas and
Pacific are vigorously pushing forward the work
of reconstruction, and it may be reasonably calcu-
lated that these railroads will be completed within
the next three years The California and Oregon
uneompleted road extends from Redding to the
northern line of the State of California distance
ofaoout one hundred and fifty miles, and the coun-
Try there is of such mountainous character as to
require heavy work and great expense, so much so
that II is very doubtful if the road is ever built
The Southern Pacific uncompleted road extends
from Tres Pinos TO Huron across the Coast Range
difficult and costly line-and from Mocave to the
eastern line of the State of California at or near
point called The Needles" over desert country.
Neither of these parts of the Southern Pacific are
under construction, and, as in the California and
Oregon case, it is very doubtful when they will be
built if ever
