i 9 y gome years ago a distinguished poet In the State of Maine, alter t he birth of his flrtt child, wrote and published the following pretty poem: One night as old St. Pgter *l«pt, He leit the door of Heaven ajar, » When through a little angel crept. And came down with a falling star. One summer as the blessed beams Of morn approached, my blushing bride Awakened from some pleasing dream* And Jound that angel by her side, God graht but fhls-I ask «o more- . That when he leaves this world of pain, He’ll wing ills way to that bright shore, And And his way to Heaven again. John G. Saxe, not to be outdone, and deeming tint injustice had been done to St. Peter, wroth the following as ST. PETER’S REPLY. Full eighteen hundred yearsor more L’.ve kept my gate securely tied; There has no “little angel" s t ra >'®dj ■ Nor one been missing all the whilst I did not sleep as you supposed. Nor leave tine door of Heaven ajar, Nor has a “little angel’’ left. And gone down with a falling star. Go ask that blushing bride and see If shedon’t frankly own and say That when she found that angel babe, She found it in the good old way. God’gmnt. but this—I ask no more— , That should your number still enlarge, Yoh will not do as done before, And lay It to old Peter s charge. •HE WAUU IN BEAUTY. She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies, And all that’s best of dark and bright Meets,in her aspect and her eyes,' Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade tl»e more, one ray the less Had half impaired the nameless graee Which Waves in every raven tress Or softly lightens o’er her toce; s Whpre thoughts serenely sweet express How pure,now dear their dwelling place, And on that cheek and o’er that brow So soft, so calm, yet eloquent. The smiles that win, the tints that glow. But telLof days in goodness spelt— with all below. \ A mi] A A below, love is innocent.’' —Lord Bybox. Tlibreis a beauty in the holpless- ness of woman. The clinging trust, which searches for extraneous sup port, is graceful and touching. Tim idity is the attribute of her sex; but to herself it is not without its dan- S jers, its inconveniences, aud its suf- erings.

Lately it has been made a part of the completed suit, and is frequently composed of the same material as the dress. The point, howeverj is this: rich women with clever maids who have received a French training, can have a bonnet qr hat to match every costume, put together (Alt of scraps of their deft fingers, at the slightest additional oost. While a poor Avoman, after ng paid a high price for the mak- of a dress, must purchase yards of itonal material, take it to an ex pensive milliner, and have the price brought rip to What she considered a proper standard, to achieve an infe rior result. It is indeed only the rich, who can afford to be economical. The poor woman is at a disad vantage every way, as regards dress, not only in the purchase of material, and its melting into garments, but also in the improper use which she is obliged to make of one that must serv e many different purposes. A great reduction has taken place in the price of ready-made dresses, but when they are very low it is al ways, because they are old-fashioned fn cut of style of because the material is unstable, or for some other reason that makes them undesirable to the average purchaser. But a little cos tume made the other day, and finish ed complete, with Normandy bonnet to mstoh for $25, was so much beyond the average in style and general ap pearance, that it deserves special mention, and might be copied at home bya clever woman, who coidd cut from a pattern, and cover a frame for a bonnet tastefully, for about two- thirds the sum. The underskirt was Of brown alpaca, and it was mounted with rather deep plaited flounce of bnown silk, with a heading, arranged in very pretty and original form. The polonaise was of seal, brown fancy diagonal, an all wool material, which i» very wideband drapes grace fully/ The polonaise was untrimmed excepfwitli pipings of the silk, and a few bows ot silk lined with cream color. The honhet was made from a i iiece of the Bilk, and consisted siipp- y of * Normandy crown, with a nar row brim apd trimihing of brown Velvet leaves, and tea-roses. The ■ mltttemftTdr this suit' cost less than $15, and the making of course, was put at the lowest terms. But had the cost for this been omitted, the price •would certainly be within the reach of any person, who can afford to buy dress at all, and the example was so fe r laid to raqtl The dependence of wo men in the eouimcfci affairs of life is nevertheless, ratlier the effect of cus tom than necessity. We have many and brilliant proofs that, where need is, she can be sufficient to herself, and play her part in the great drama of. existence with credit4f not with com- Hiw. The yearnings of her solitary 1 'kit, the outgushings of her shrink-, fc sensibility, the cravings of he? lf .‘iiated heart areTndulged only in e quiet holiness of her solitude. • ’The world sees not, guesses not the k conflict; and in the ignorance of oth ers lies her strength. The secret of her weakness is hid den in the depths of her own bosom; and she moves on amid the heat and hurry of existence, and with a seal set upon her nature, to be broken,on-, ly by fond and loving hands, at dis solved in tlrg tears of recovered home affection. « t “ ■UNSAY SHADOWS. Did you ever, in youth’s summer, When within church portals grave. Watch the swiltly-moving cloudlets— Heeding naught of means to save— As they swept up o’er the hillside, 'hflii ’’ J Or across the valley came, Like the Sabbath smoke of incense, Born of spicep kissed by flame? Did you join the hymn of worship In Jts swelling pensive tone, When, aloft in choral floating, It went heavenward from your zone? Did you list with breath abated When the solemn paster prayed, Opening half your wicked eyelyds Just to watch a charming maid? Did you note the drooping lashes O’er the tender, modest gray, And the cheek with bloom so roseate. Where as yet no shadows play? Ah, in youth this Sabbath sunshine Colors life with golden hues— Scarce a trace of cloud or shadow. Not a thought of evening dews. Ever morning, happy mornihg. Bright and balmy—lfot a care. Till there comes a Sunday shadow— ’Tis our elder’s nudge, just there! And how often in life’s journey, When we’ve felt a touch of love, Straight there comes a shadow eibow, Bids us turn our thoughts above. BY-AND-BI.

The public baths remain in such perfect conditien that it would r^qlilte’ but a' small expenditure to 'em jn readiness for use. k f r i Poor Girls. The porest girls in the world are those who have never been taught to work. There are thousands of them. Rich parents have petted, them; the; have been taught to despise labor an’ depend upon others for a living, and -*re perfectly helpless. If misfortune comes ujxm their friends, as it often does, their ease is helpless. The most forlorn and miserable women,, on earth belong to this class. . It belongs to parents to protect their daughters from this deplorable condition. They do them a great wrong if they neg lect it. Every daughter should be taught to earn her own living. The rich as well as the poor require this training. The wheel of fortune rolls swiftly round; the rich are very like ly to become poor and the poor rich. Still to labor is no disadvantage toth'e rich and is indispensable to the poor. Well-to-do parents must educate their children to work. No reform is more ' imperative than this. A Beautiful Extract. — The of summer has gone by—the utiful greenness lias become with ered and dead. Were this all—were there no associations of moral desola tion—of faded hopes—of hearts with ering in the bosoms of the living —connected with the decaying scene ry around us, we would not indulge in a moment’s melancholy. The season of flowers will came again— the streams will flow gracefully as be fore—the trees will again toss their cumbrous heads of greenness to the sunlight—and by mossy stone and winding rivulet the coming blossoms start up at the bidding of their guardian. , But the human heart has no change like that of nature. It has no returning spring-time. Once blighted in its hour of freshness, it bears forever the mark of the spoiler. The dews of affection may fall, and the gentle rain of sympathy be lav ished upon it—but the stone root of blighted feeling will never again wa ken into life—nor the crushed flowers of hope blossom with their wonted beauty. ... I s A PiuzE.r-“I will say one thing in praise of my daughter,” said a happy father, at that daughter’s wed ding breakfast. “She is a thorough and practical housekeeper?” Could any compliment have been higher? What an endorsement it was of the good sense ami prospective comfort of her husband! For a man has so much of the animal in his nature that he caresmore for a good dinner than he does—so long as his appgite is unappeased—to listen to the music 1 of the spheres. Heavy bread has made many heavy hearts, given rise to dyspepsia and its herd of accompa nying torments. Girls who desire that their husbauds should be amia ble and kind should learn how to make light bread. A story is told of a happy wife,who when asked how she managed her husband so successfully, | replied with a roguish smile, “My dear, I feed him well.” There is a great deal in that. Those wives who are entirely dependent upon hired cooks make a sorry show at house keeping. The stomach performs a very important part in the economy of humanity; and those who are for getful o$ this fait commit a serious mistake. Even the lion may be tamed by keeping him well fed. -» ♦ * • An Awkward Pause.—A young gentleman undertook to relate a cir- ' instance one- Sunday evening in 1 presence of some young ladies, and he commenced as follows: “A lady friend and myself last eve ning went to Bed— With a sadden spring the old lady bounced him out of the house. The next day the old gentleman met him on the street and asked an apology. ‘I was about to say,” commenced the young man, that a lady friend id myself went to Bed ” when'a rust fnom the old man’s cane start- 1 him back several feet, upon which he exclaimed at the top of his voice: “A lady friend and myself went Bed ford. «t reet churuii, you eld mother a maternal her bosom to etinting, suffocating shower; the ity whose luxuriant tresses are Plumbing seems to hgyp, been per fectly Understood; water pipes of lead appearin great abundance in all the bSntees, twisting around inside the casing of every room, with brass turn cocks and faucets in excellent condi tion, showing a profuse use of the fluid for public atid domestic purposes —a sure sign pf an advanced civiliza tion. Wc visited the house uncover ed for the Emperor of Brazil a few days before, the colors of the walls all bright, fresh and glowing, as are the well-drawn figures of the zebra, ele phant, bOa-constrictor, ibex, etc., which decoarte them. Here as they removed the ashes from the courtyard .were found twP vases of silver, one of hronze v several silver spoons and other utensils of the same valuable material. The Whole street and quar ter in the vicinity of this house has been uncovered within the last three months. In the. windows of many of the houses glass panes were found •and abundance of vases and goblets of crystal. To the little museum at the en trance to-the ruins, with its sadly suggestive collection of skeletons, or rather of ashes encrusted bodies, the gigantic slave, overtaken by death while plundering his master’s aban doned treasures, with the purse pressed tightly against his chest; the r and daughter side by side,the arms, pressing the child to shelter her from the nett* iity still twined around her head in graceful folds, while the skeleton fin ger yet bears the ring with its pre- ciousjewel, which was doubtless its fair owner’s pride and delight; the soldier who had half arrayed himself in his armor'when that foe overtook him against whom armor was of no avail; has been recently added a new skeleton or figure discovered last year at the entrance of one of the doors of the “House of the Chase,” so called; a perfectly shaped figure of a toll grown woman of comely and well-rounded form, with hair gather ed behind and bound on the back of the head in-a graceful knot. It lies in the museum|as it was found in the house, prone on the face, with the lower limbs slightly contracted and raised from the knees downward, as if in agony, -the dress drawn up above the waist, as if it was about being gathered around the head, a heavy scarf crossed over the breasts, the head resting on the arms, and the palm of the hand spread over the face to shield it from the blinding cloud of ashes; exactly in the position and attitude in which she perished on that fatal August day, a. d. 79. Another recent discovery is the skel eton of a dog, doubled up quite in a circle* and luting himself fiercely in ufagony. And yet another is of a la hat of the figure of a large stalwart nAn,*wim remarkably well preserved and distinct features, having really an expression to them, lying on his back, with legs and arms strongly contracted, awfully expressive of a terrific convulsion at the last moment of life. It is touching to see how al most all the figures are lying on the face, with hands and anus spread over it, in desperate but unavailing struggle to prolong existence. tempts on the part of Uncle Ben to away resulted in such fits of The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise says: About three years ago a gen tleman of this city went East on a visit to his old home. One of his brothere there had a fright and beau tiful little sou, not yet two years of age. The boy, little Benny, soon be came strongly and strangely attach ed to his “Uncle Ben, from Washoe,” whose namesake he was. Uncle Ben often took the little fellow in his arms in the summer evenings, and seated in the porch talked him to sleep. At such times he would point out the evening star, telling the boy that tar away, just under the star was his home. The child would look long at the star, then fer as long gaze up in the faefe of his uncle, as though thinking what a bright and beautitol place his home must be. ..At last the day came when Uncle Ben was to leave for his home in the far West. Little Benny.-knew this as well as a y one about the bouse, and, with th eyes and ears, was on the alert. He would not allow his uncle to be a minute out of his sight. Several at- P .. steal away resulted crying that he was obligectto return and sooth the child. However, the child, wearied with crying and watching, at last fell asleep in his un cle’s arms. When he awoke Uncle -B@h was far away. Long the boy looked for his uncle, and often called his name. Many times of evenings he was found gazing earnestly at the bright star that stood as a guard over hie uncle’s home. As he grew, his love of the star deepened, and he talked more and more of it and of his uncle, both bo far away at the edge of the sky. Even when three years had passed, and Benny was nearly five years old, his belief in the story- told him by his uncle, cpntinueu. Poor boy! another year was never added to his age. It was his fate to dte a fearful death: By accident; he Was scalded over nearly his whole body und lived but four hQurs. He seemed to read in the faces of the dear ones about him that he must soon die. He bore his pain manfully, only uttering an occasional moan. As the shades of evening deepened he was seen to turn his face anxiously toward the window of his room. At last he asked: “Is it there—the star?” He was told that the star was there and shining brightly. Feebly he said: “Take me to the window.” He was carried to the window. A smile lighted up his face as he said: “Now I can find the way to Uncle Ben—I can see his star! ” He closed his eyes as though wearied. The smile faded out of his face. One moan as he was laid on his bed, and the light of his life had g one out and up to meet and mingle with that of the star lie so long had watched and loved. fetal Water. The queen of Table Water*.

The account which was given re cently of Dr. Merrill’s discoveries in Palestine, under the auspices of the American Society, may be appropri ately supplemented by some reference to the English expedition. In Eng land contributions to this work are larger and more easily obtained than here. This is owing not so much to a greater degree of general culture or liberality as to the more abundant leisure of the English gently and their more ample means. To culti vate the sciences both lqjsure and means are desirable. These favora ble conditions enable the English so ciety to prosecute its explorations on a large and thorough scale. Its field of research extends from the River Leontes on the north to Beersheba on the south, and comprises some 7,300 square miles. In this narrow territory have occurred the most vi tal transactions in history. Recent reports from the expedition sent out under charge of Lieut. Kitchener represent the work as substantially completed, the ground thoroughly surveyed, and many important his torical points identified. An average of eight times the names found on existing maps has been attained by the English officers. One of Lieut. Kitchener’s discoveries curiously, il lustrates the antiquity of tradition. A certain point on the road from Beth any to the Mount of Olives has been pointed out for centuries as the place where the Lord mounted the ass for liis| triumphal entry into Jerusalem. No tangible basis existed for the sto ry: it was one of the thousand myths which cluster around Jerusalem and its environs. At this identical spot, however, Lieut. Kitchener has un earthed some mediaeval ruins—proba bly of a Crusader’s chapel, which in its day may have been the sanctuary of Godfrey de Bouillon or Robert of Normandy. Among the ruins was found a stone block—used perhaps as an altar—the sides of which were covered with paintings. One of these in a tolerable state of preservation, represents the disciples leading the historic ass to Jesus. This, while it may not absolutely verify the tradi tion, at least gives it the weight and emphasis of age Another of Lieut. Kitchener’s dis coveries connects itself with Ziklag, David’s city, where the Amalekites sacked and burnt the dwellings, and reaped for themselves so terrible a vengeance. Its site, Lieut. Kitchen er claims is now clearly ascertained. More than this it is reported that a leaden coffin has come to light, in which was found a silver ring, both coffin and ring inscribed with Phoe nician characters and bearing the dis tinguished names of Samson and Ma- noah. One of these days some explo rer may in like manner unearth Go- liah’s helmet or King Og’s bedstead. The Enlish Society promises short ly a narrative of the whole survey, prepared by Lieut. Conder, and in tended not so much for scientific use as to afford a popular account of the adventures and escapes of the expe dition. This will no doubt be valua ble, as adding largely to the existing information concerning Palestine and its people.
