A Fairy Grave.

Let little grave be made.
Half in shadow. half in shade,
In a quiet, kindly place,
Friendly Us her face.
Let the passing fairy bird
From his airy height he heard;
Ever, ever Tor that ground
Only gentle sound.
Let the singing winds, which he
Winged dream and melody,
Singing softly, by her lie,
Softly singing, die.
Let the bee has sucked the bloom
Homeward journey by her tomb,
And his 1.-THE OF sweet be paid
To her sweeter shade.
Let the low clouds, red and gold,
Mourn her on the mountain old;
Beauty, ave, her guardian be,
You and Melody.
Spirits of sound and souls Of flowers,
All you dearest griefless powers,
You with whom she went away.
Tend her night and day.

THE NEW CARNEGIE HOUSE.
PLANS ACCEPTED FOR THE MANSION,
WHICH is TO RE BUILT IN UPPER
FTETH-ANE

Persons who are in the confidence OF Andrew
Carnegie have allowed the fact to become
known that the plans for his magnificent new
home which is TO be built in Fifth-ave be-
tween Ninetieth and Ninety-frst SITS. which
have been prepared by Babb. Cook & Willard.
the architects. Of No 3 West Twenty ninth st.
have been accepted by Mr.. Carnegie.
The fact that Mr. Carnegie intended TO erect
n magnificent mansion this site was an
nounced some months ago. At that time
he acquired for the purpose a tract OF land oc-
cupving nearly the whole block between the
streets named Ninetieth and Ninety-hrst. on
the east side Of Fifth-ave. facing Central PARK
and running back some hundred feet or more
along the cross streets. He then declared that
# was his intention to provide his young heir
every advantage that money could buy and that
New-York city and the surrounding country
could furnish. and that the new house was to
be a step in this direction.
AZ the time of the purchase Of the land three
firms OF architects undertook the preparations
- rlops for the house These in due
time submitted for Mr. Carnegie's approval and
from them he selected as has been said the
mans prepared by Messrs. Babb, Cook & Willard.
II does not follow that the plans as they now
stand are final on the contrary it is more
than probable that numerous changes and
rnodffcations will be made TO suit Mr.. Car
neoie's views before the ground is actually
broken for the new structure II would there
fore be impossible to tell at the present time
lust what the plans Will finally he. or Just how
The house will finally look. II Is altogether safe
to saw however that the new mansion VIII
compare favorably in spacousness convenience,
artistic design luxuriousness and general beauty,
outside and IN, with any dwelling now standing
II, New-YOrk or likely 70 be built in the next few
yoars Such a result this Mr.. Carnegie IS
aItogother likely TO insist on and the architects
are altogether likely to do their best n secure IT,
