Two IninritabIe Pcrfu I'M es.

It is said of two of the most delightfully."-
fragrant flowers that grow upon this CONT
nent, the magnolia, and the tea olive living
in two or three of the Southern States, that
their odor has never been simulated in per.
fume. Experiment after experiment has
been made, and when it seemed as if seccess
had been obtained, the nextmoment, before
the condition could be fixed and determin-
ID, it was lost again. There is no doubt,
however, but that some one will yet
find method Of initiating their subtitle and
exquisite fragrance, which comes and goes
so quick Ms only to leave an impression Of
fleeing pleasure The real skill of the per.
fumer lies in Stimulating such delicate odors.
Those which are stronger and coarser and
less agreeable, and refined people do not
like to employ them. To use perfumery
skilfully is an art, for good taste forbids
that there shall be about the person any
thing more than suggestion of some sweet
smelling blossom, and the finer and more
intangible, while yet perceptible, the more
agreeable and artistic it is. The produc-
ton of some of the most delightful perfumes
has been the work Of years.

The white foam rise and fall;

Then sheer upon my straining sight
Fell down the curtain OF the night.
What ship was on the midnight deep9
What voices on the air?
DID wandering spirits call and weep
IN darkness and despair
Did ever living seaman hail

The dawn-breeze on the sea,
The lark is singing sweet and high
winged melody:

The tired sailors have come home.
Their eyes that stare, so wide, so wide,
See not the blessed light:
For all the streams OF death divide
The morning from the night;
Weary with tossing on her breast
The sea at last has given them rest.

THE HOLCOMBE REUNION
HUNTERDON COUNTY HIS
T0RICAL SOCIETY.

The quarterly meeting of the Hunter
don County Historical Society was held in
VIM. F. Holcombe's Grove, near Mount
Airy, on Wednesday, August 18th, and in
connection with it Reunion of the Hol-
combe Family.
The principal interest on this occasion
conferred in the Holcombe Reunion. The
Holcombe family in this section is large
one, and descended from John and Jacob
Hocombe, who were among the earliest
settlers in this neighborhood. The Hol.
combes have been not only numerically
strong in this county, but they have been
remarkable for their good business ability,
thrift, intelligence and honorable charac-
ter. The family has not only become
large here, but it has colonized in other
sections, and the same characteristics APP
pear to have followed this family wherever
settled. The Quaker antecedents seem to
have left their impress in many respects on
their descendants.
The reunion had been talked of for
some years, but it was not until few
months ago that the project took practi-
cal shape. DR.. George Holcombe Larson
and Reuben p. Ely, of this city, and Col.
F. S. Holcombe, of Mount Airy, have
been very active in working up not only
the reunion, but in gathering facts for
history of the family.
This reunion was great success. Not
less than three thousand people were
present in the afternoon. Members of
the Bucks county branch of the family
we're present in large numbers, besides
many representatives from distant sec.
tons. The exercises and the audience
showed that the Holcombes need neither
be ashamed of the family talent, be afraid
of the name dying out, nor distrust their
ability to make a creditable display of
fine looking men and handsome women.
The exercises of the Historical Society
were held in the morning and were neces-
sarily brief, owing to the reunion exer-
cises in the afternoon.
After music by the band, prayer was
offered By Rev. Harrison Clark, of Mount
Airy. DIR. Geo. ii. Larson, President,
presided.
Mr.. Jacob Servis, of this city, then read
a paper on "Early Marriages in Am we'll,
which, though of much historical value,
was necessarily statistical in character, and
time not allowing the completion of its
reading, it was deposited with the Society
for future reference.
This was followed by paper on ''Pro.
curing Boats for Washington's Crossing
of the Delaware in 1776 by Gen. Daniel
Bray, of Kingwood, N. j." This was
written and read by Mr.. Stacy B. Bray,
of this city, and was much more than its
subject indicated. 1t was we'll written
and very interesting.
At this point the Society closed its ex-
ercises, adjourning to meet at Fleming
ton next month.
After adjournment collation. was serv-
ed and the supply was ample to feed the
hundreds that had assembled.
