WOMAN and
SOCIETY.

Dip down upon the northern shore,
sweet new year delaying long;
Thou doest expectant nature wrong
Delaying long, delay no more.
What stays thee from the clouded
Moons
Thy sweetness from its proper
place?
Can trouble live with April days,
Or sadness in the summer moons?
Bring orchis, bring the foxgolve spire,
The little speedwell's darling blue,
Deep tulips dash'd with fiery dew,
Laburnums, dropping wells of fire.
O thou, new year. delaying long,
Delayest the sorrow in my blood,
That longs to burst a frozen bud.
And flood a fresher throat with song.

Immediately all the yellow began to
throw fits. 1t was thought here that
the publication was intended for Sat
urday, which would have been alto
gether appropriate. Friends of Miss
Alice say she has no idea of getting
married in the Immediate future
They have picked out as the, fortunate
man young Edward Mclean, the only
son of John X. Mclean, q well-known
Ohio Democrat. The couple are to-
gether great deal. Miss Alice is hav-
ing most too good a time as the
daughter cf the President to be pre-
pairing for marriage. The statistics of

cred by German journal, which es-
Inmates that in fften months the Pres

$50 afternoon teas, shaking hands in
