VACANT PLACES.

When the lingering raYs of twilight
Softly melt in sOmbre gloom,
And no more the CHEEKY day beams
Light the social Sitting-room
As we group around the firesde,
Do we miss no cherished face
Some dear face which those around us
Cannot from our memories chase?
Some deaI tones which have entwined so
Round the tendrilS OF our hearts,
That we most seem to hear them
When the loved one e'en departs
And each gentle, kind word spoken,
We do vividly recall,
That we seem again to hear it
Now, as the evenings shadows fall.
Still, alas the vacant places
Show that fancy'S dream is this
Tones and words and dear, sweet faces,
All around us still we miss
No not cen tomorrow dawning
Shall the Musings ones restore
Still remain the vacant places
Which they never shall fill more.
Spring may deck the mounds above them,
Flowers may wreath the hallowed mould
Tears may fall from those who love them
Cannot warm the hearts there cold.
Still the world pursues its pleasures
Passing plea bright but brief
Needing not the vacant places
Nor the fond hearts plunged in grief
All ye sOrrow-stricken mourners,
Who are tempted to despond,
Who can only view earth's shadows
Is there nothing more beyond
See you not the silver lining
To the clouds that now hang o'er:
Know You not that all your loved ones
Are but safely gone before?
Gone where never shade of sorrow,
Doubt or darkness can find room;
Poor bereaYed ones do you see not
All that lies beyond the tomb?
Death is but the gloomy portal
To that bright home OF the blest
While you mourn DER vacant places,
Those you miss are gone to rest.

4 NEW ROMANCE or THE FOREST.-Ihe
st. James Gazette recounts the particulars of
a most shocking crime winch was committed
recently at a monastery near the forest OF
Vrano-Sslo, i'm Hungary. This monastery,
which was inhabited 10y eight monks who
were believed to be very wealthy, was at
tackled by a band of brigands, but an alarm
having been given. a body of soldiers came
to the rescue. The bri2ands endeavored to
barricade themselves in the monastery and
exchanged several shots with the soldiers,
who were engaged more than an hour before
they could force an entrance. When they
did get in they found the monks lying gag
ged on the floor, but could find no trace Of
the brigandS After the monks had been set
at liberty they informed their deiiyerers that
the 5rigands had escaped by an underground
passage leading from the cellar into the for
est. The soldiers at once searched for the
passage, while the monks went of to the
chapel to give thanks for their delivery. The
soldiers having explored the cellar and hay
ing failed to find the door of the passage,
came back to ask one of the monks to act as
their guide but they were nowhere to be
seen. In the course of further investigation,
however, they found the dead bodies Of the
eight monks in small room, and the mys
terry was then solved. The brIgands, seeing
that they could not escape, had murdered
the monks and hidden their bodies in this
room. having first stripped them Of their
clothes and put them on themselves. They
then gagged one another to deceive the sol
diers and while the latter we're searching the
cellar had made of to their fastnesses in the
forest.

THE FORCE OF LANGUAGE.

There was young belle in society.
Who was counted the pink OF propiety
And the way she could sling
An adjective string
Was marvel Of ease and variety
Her praises Of all things she ended
BY declaring them perfectly splendid" "
Which with equal force
Was applied to a horse
a poodle, or to her Intended,
And whatever was low or unlawful
Like vulgar tramp with his maw full.
Or last years hat
Or the sight Of q rat
She held to De perfectly awful"
And her eyebrows went up on her forehead
When she read that in summer time torrid
There are somewhat pity -
Who stay in the city.
And she called it just perfectly horrid'
But when, as it chanced unexpected.
Her fSther dropped dead apopected,
She properly sighed,
And gracefully cried
And "How sad 20 was all she elected.

TIE SPECTRE SPECS.

1 have seen a great deal Of Gun and laugh
ter produced by Il very simple little device.
which I call the Spectre Specs.
A large party OF people at n small country
hotel We're yawning away the evening. as
they often do in such places. when the in
siprat!On seized one OF The most able-bodfe6
yawners to do something to break mp tie
mouotony- Taking into bis confidence little
Tom Wittes. an admirable boy. with a Iara,.
faculty for fun and mischief. he induced
that youth to purloin his graudmother's
spectacles. With this modest instrument
and a paint-boX belonging 10 one of the
guests, they retired to the bedroom. where
the gentlemen painted the surface cf the
spectacles all over with white paint, and
then neatly cleared 2 round spot in the cen
tre of each glass. He then painted q couple
of pointed eyebrows on his own forehead
with black. and put on the spectacles.- -
Then he tOusled his hair, and twisted few
threads Of white and red wors5ed among-,
it. This gave him an appearance awful 60
behold
Thus transformed, me walked into the
dimly-Iiehted parlor doorway and inquired
in deep voice of the other yawners wheth-
er a gentleman Of the name Of Samercander-
offsly was boarding in that hotel There
was no more yawniug after that
When all the company lad completely re-
covered from their surprise, the gentleman
retired again TO his chamber, and began To-
transform Tom Whittlcs. lie first painted
q pair Of eyebrows iU The middle OF the boys
forehead, and then slightly altered the eve
balls in The speetacIes, So as 70 give them Le
appearance Of 6 sguut Placing them Cu
Toms forehead just above the real eyebrows
he told him to close his eyes. He led him
into the parlor, and introduced him as the
son OF Air. SamercanderoTsIv. or course
there was no surprise now, but the lad look
ed very funny, and produced no end of laugh
ter with his long face and melancholy ex-
preston.
One word as to the material to be employed
in painting the spectacles. Chinese white.
such as artists use is all that is needed: but
as very few PEOPLE are apt to own such q
thing, perhaps the best plan is 10 cut two
oval pieces OF white paper the shape Of the
spectacle bows, with q round hole in. the mid
die, and stick them on the back of the glass
