Beside a Grave.

1t seems so strange that can stand to-day
Beside little grave with thankful tears
My sinless lamb that wandered long ago
To pastures green-thro' all the changing years,
So strange that can make no moan above her.
1t is because so dearly did love her.
Because loved her and she was my own,
Like to myself in nerve, and pulse and brain,
Copied from mine and fed by all my moods,
And lowered with ms passion and my pain
With truths great heritage of scorn and hate
For everything untrue-unhappy fate.
Kneet above the tender springing grass,
And bless my God that on her sweet dead eyes
His seal fell early, never to behold
The shifting show OF pOmps and vanities.
thank him that her sinless hands shall lie
Crossed in one prayer thro' all eternity.
80 safe and pure, my sheltered little one;
No not one tear shall dim the marble white;
Spotless give you back to Him who lent
Your tiny star to brighten my dull night.
leave you gladly in His tender hands,
without one Uear-He knows and understands

The Lass of Rallochmyle.


Twas even-the dewy fields were green,
On every blade the pearls dig hang;
The zephyr wantoned round the bean
And bore its fragrant sweets alang;
In every glen the mavis sang,
All nature listening seemed the while,
Except where greenwood echoes rang
Amang the braes O. Ballochmyle.
With careless step onward strayed;
My heart rejoiced in nature'sjoy;
When musing in lonely glade,
A maiden fair I CHANGED to spy;
Her look was like the mornings eye,
Her air like natures vernal smiles
Perfection whispered, passing by,
Behold the lass o. BallOchmylei
Fair is the morn in flowery May.
And sweet is night in autumn mild,
When rowing thro' the garden gay,
Or wandering in a lonely wild;
But woman, natures darling child!
There all her charms she does compile;
Ev'n there her other works are fOiled
By the bonnie ass O. Ballochmyle.
Oh, had she been a country maid.
And l the happy country swain,
Tho sheltered In the lowest shed
That ever rose in ScOtland's plainl
Tho weary winters wind and rain
With joy, with rapture, would toll;
And nightly to my bosom strain
The bonnie lass O. Ballochmyle.
Then pride might climb the slipp'ry steep
Where fame and honOrs lofty shine
And thirst of gold might tempt the deep,
Or downward seek the Indian mine.
Give me the cot below the pine,
To tend the flocks or till the SOIL
And every day have joys divine
With the bonnie lass o. BallOchmvle.

Voices of Spring.

The pipings of the frogs hear
Through all the hight so shrill and clear,
Glad heralds of the Queen of Spring.
Who comes her bOunteous gifts to bring,
With singing birds and sweet perfume,
Exhaled from generous apple bloom.
Peep peep, no sleep, peep peep, peep peep!
Thou MINISTRIES of the swdmpy deep!
Reminders of the cowslips' home,
Where oft my bare feet used to roam
By meadow brooks to homeward bring
This golden gift of early spring.
How oft has proved the song, peep peep,
A lullaby for bOyhoods sleepl
When tired of rambling through the woods,
Where, in their deepest sOlitudes,
By stumps festOoned with pine and plum,
We stopped to hear the partridge drum.
Or. when half lost in dreamy sleep,
How pleasing is the song, peep peep,
As fancy takes me back once more
Beneath the raftered roof of yOre,
To hear above my cot again
The pathOs of the April rain!
And thus through all the hours Of night,
Till morning comes with roseate light,
The frogs their tireless vigls Keep;
Whose drowsy, tlnkling notes, peep peep,
Come floating on the perfumed air,
A sOlace sweet for every care.

A Lullaby.

Ho dear little west winds, come over the lea;
pray you speed quickly to baby and me;
Come Groom your sweet lullabies softly ana low
The rustling of young leaves, the brooks rip
ping flow;
The lush of the waves as they break on the
shore,
And dreamily mimic old oceans deep roar;
The bees drOwsy tune set to murmuring rhyme
The fairy-like music wee lily-bells chime
Come sing to my nesting the songs you have
sung
This eve to the birdlngs in leafy nests swung,
Whose green, swaying cradles, high up mid the
trees,
Respond to the touch of each gay, fitting breeze
The birds and the flowers are hushed all to rest
Now lull my bright birding to sleep on my
breast,
While Gods holy angels from Heaven above
O'ershadOw my darling with white wings of love-

Remembered 1t for Fifteen Years.

Harper's Drawer for June.
A distinguished clergyman in the leading
church of Connecticut had one morning fin
ished his sermon, when one of his much
impressed hearers came forward to thank
him for it, and this dialogue followed:
1T is fifteen years since heard you last.
In this very place, fifteen years ago, heard
you preach a sermon that l have never
forgotten. 1t did me more good than
any sermon / ever heard. 1t stuck by me,
and have always wanted to thank you for
it."
"Ah, indeed" replied the pleased preach

very grateful. should like to know what
sermon it was. Do you remember the text?r
well, no, | can't tell what the text was
now, but it was the greatest sermon l ever
heard. 1t just lifted me. never forgot that
sermon.
Il should really like to know what sermon
it was, replied the clergyman, much inter
ested in so decided case OF the power of the
pulpit. 'If you cannot recall the text what
was the subject of the sermon?'
well, now Doctor it's gone from me;

the subject now; but tell you it was great

most powerful discourse l ever heard.

'But can't you recall anything in it? You
excite my curiosity. Can't you give me
clew that will identify it?'
NO l can't tell what was in it exactly; the
subject has slipped out of my mind. don't
know exactly what you said, but it was
magnificent sermon. 1t did me more good
than all the preaching ever heard. 1t has
just stayed by me for fifteen years"
"And you cannot recall word that will

From Blonde to Brunette.

New York Evening Post
The mysterious origin and quick diffusion
of the DEGREES of fashion are past finding out.
The silent forces of nature, by which the
frigid and sometimes repulsive forms of win
ter are changed into scenes of vernal life and
beauty, are as unknown and unknowable as
are the sources of the unwritten laws which
hold despotic sway in fashions world. By
seeking one can rarely find out whence they
come, by what mental process they are
evolved, or the caprices or necessities real or
fanciful, which call them into being. But
no enemy's stronghold. no wrong of the
ages, no malign system of oppression, no
heresy or schism was ever assailed with less
hope of successful encounter than are the
edicts which fashion formulates for the
guidance of her subjects and votaries.
One would say that in our own coun-
try, or in England thing of beauty
universally so regarded-would always
be reckoned beautiful; that natuial gifts of
form and feature would always maintain
their place as graces unchanged by the va
carries or vicssitudes of la mode. But the
news comes to US from over the sea that there
is TO be this season an entirely new style of
beauty. correspondent of prominent
English journal says: "The girls with rudy
locks or the golden hair and the Saxon skin
that have held their sway so long, will have
to abdicate their throne to their darker
haired sisters. So fashion has decreed and
when fashion does decree thing the result
is as unalterable as a general election To
be in the fashion to-day you m ust have dark
hair dark blue eyes, not particle of color,
but with lips as red as a cherry. 1 fail to see
how these varied requirements are to be met,
but they will be met, feel sure, and that
this new vagary of fashion will be a source
of rejoicing to many girls who, for the last
few years, because of their dark hair, have
been quite surpassed and overruled by the
blonde haired maidens-of that there can be
no doubt

How Washington Women Dress.


Several Washington ladies have taken adj
vantage of the fashions and devised STYLES
which they consider are best suited to Them
In some instances these styles are original
with themselves Mrs. Don. Cameron at a
german given this spring, on which occasion
the palm of belleship was accorded her, wore
a becoming toilet Of white, trimmed with
snowballs, and had on neither gloves nor
bracelets. The waist of her dress was made
with very short sleeves and cut low in the
neck.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, the novel;
ist, has adopted the so-called aesthetic style
of dress. At a recent entertainment in
Washington she wore white China silk,
lowered in very large pattern, with gath
cred waist, which was very short and
very low in the neck, aud without
sleeves, and long, straight, full, trained
skirt, gathered to the belt at the waist.
She calls these waists "agoos," that
being the first word an infant usually utters,
and the style of waist being generally known
as "babv waists" She frequently wears sun
flowers with her evening dresses. On the
other hand, Mrs Winnie Ream Hoxie, at the

same party, wore a classical style of dress,
resembling that of the Goddess Minerva, es-
pecially in the arrangement of the hair and
ornaments used on the head. Another
Washington lady, who also has taste for an
original style of dress, has driven her dress
maker half crazy by telling her, in regard to
one of her costumes: Now, remember, that
is the dress you are to make me look like
statue in" The poor modiste said afterwards
that she was tormented day and night with
the endeavor to devise such garment. 'For
how can make her look like a statue" she
plaintively exclaimed, sin any dress in which
she can walk, even in a ball-room?" This
latter lady was at Saratoga last summer, dur
ing the Egyptian war, and often wore in the
evening ornaments and a style of dress sug-
gestive of Cleopatra

On the Edge of the Marsh.

IN NOVEMBER.
Dead sienna and rusty gold
Tell the year on the marsh is old.
Blaokened and bent, the sedges shrink
Back from the sea-pOOl's frosty brink.
Low in the west wind-cloud lies.
Tossed and wild in the autumn skies.
Over the marshes, nOurnfully,
Drifts the sound of the restless sea.
IN JUNE.
Fair and green Is the marsh In June;
Wide and warm IN the sunny noon.
The Towering PUSHES fringe the pool
With slender shadows, dim and cool
From the low bushes "Bob White" calls;
Into his nest rOse.eaf falls.
The blue flag fades; aud through the heat,
Far of, the seas faint pulses beat.

The Treasury balance on Saturday
amounted to nearly $50, OO0, 900, showing a
steady increase since the Sd inst, when the
balance was S122, 100000. The increase Is
due to large receipts from internal revenue

current fiscal year to be SO, 083, go. Ex-
penditures for the same period, SO, 645, AS

762 had been expended up to Dec. 81, 1882,
leaving but "a, 100, 137 to meet expenses for
the last half Of the year. This amount will
be insufficient and ID Is thought a deficiency
will be incurred of about b, 000, 900 for this
branch of the service.
