We sat down in the passage way, Just twenty years ago to night. My husband and our daughter May, Who gambol'd with a step so light Altout her father’s chair, she seemed As flitting as a little bird ; One moment on the sight she gleamed \ The next, she was not seen but heard. The silver laughter ringing clear About the echo-haunted wold, Comes back to-night upon my car, With kindred memories manifold: The field where many an autumn day, We rambled by the upper hedge; Around the margin of the bay. And even to the forest’s edge. III. And at the blessed fountain there, Beyond the lower range of hills, We’ve pic-nic’d in the summer air, Melodious with the flow of rills; Until the languors of the noon, Enwound us is a subtle spell; And brought the rosy troops of June, To guard us bv the charmed well. IV. Those years swift rolling like a stream Suddenly swollen with heavy showers, Have faded, leaving but a gleam Connected with the present hours. And May, no more a little maid, Though still her curls are rich with gold. Wears first to-night an orange hi aid, The votive symbol from of old.. V. But she will go away, and then,— I pity all that loved her so ; Even to the thrushes in the glen, And flowers her young hands set to grow. And me, alas '. who loved her well, Through all those silver years of bliss.— Give me, O, God ! the power to dwell, Back there in life’s parenthesis. P. J. MALONE. DECIDEDBARGAINS. BY" MRS. E. WEI.LMONT. “Just before the first of May,” says Mrs. Newcontbe, “ is decidedly the best time to obtain good bargains.— Dress fabrics were never so cheap be fore. It is really gratifying, when the prices of provisions are high, that wearing apparel may be obtained at such reasonable rates.” And so Mrs. Newcombc and her daughters resolved that they could af ford to dress much better than usual the approaching season on account of the “decided bargains,” which could be so reasonably obtained. We have no evidence that either of this trio were sagacious reasoners, or we might in fer that where there was a heavy ex penditure for one article there should be corresponding retrenchment in other articles to balance the account. No, we are rather inclined to believe the idea of some “ decided bargains” dilat ed their vision, and the propriety of seizing the present moment outweigh ed all other considerations. Never was the old adage more fully carried out than with the Newcombes, “ that one want begets many others,” for madam had no sooner fitted out her wardrobe with silks, velvets and em broideries, and her daughters had se cured the last style of brocade and antique silks and French hats, that were perfectly unique and “ fascinat ing,” than the anxiety of their neigh bors and intimate friends to ascertain the prices paid for that “ love ofa hat” and that “ splendid a-la-mode brocade,” began to mauifest, and the rare bar gains which had been secured so bore upon their inferior outfits that neither father nor mother had any more peace until they, having listened to the re cital, furnished them with ample means to make the same outlay in precisely the same articles. All this might have been well enough, had not the love of imitation pervaded so large a circle, that finally it was deemed essential in all public and private parties that the style of dress should he essentially changed for a much more extravagant outlay ; and perhaps bankruptcy might have been distanced, had only a change iu the apparel Income necessary ; hut as woolen fabrics were cheaper than usu al, Mrs. Newcombe availed herself of the present opportunity to secure new carpets for her drawing-rooms, having found a lot “ slightly imper fect in the finish, which would not be discernible but to those who knew the fact when purchasing.” Now these carjicts made way for Anna Maria to lay claim for a new piano—there be ing a bankrupt stock which would be sold at decided bargains. No sooner, however, was the old house refurnished than its antique appearance became more manifest—the doors, panes of glass and low celings really made Mr. Newcombc feel that a change was desirable. About this time a large and elegant dwelling-house was vacated by its owner and thrown into the market, and Mr. Newcombe felt that if it could be obtained at a bargain he woued be- well*arranged interior, with such a portion of the furniture as modern ex* travagauee had supplied and left unin jured, Yet as Mr. Newcombe was reported to be wealthy, the style of living he exchanged for one more in keeping with tho times was thus ex plained by himself in a letter to a friend in the country, who lamented that he should lay aside his primitive habits: remember that all “ decided bargains” should be in keeping with our pecuni ary means, we should seldom make a mistake in our purchases. The Same Old Speech. ®bar Brother": TTrave pec“J* \r"* reason for all the changes I have recently made.. No man can get along comfortably in our community who has not good credit in his mercan tile pursuits, and no family can be possessed of all the advantages which fashionable society demands unless they maintain a certain amount of style in living. I have four daugh ters all eligible for the marriage state; young gentlemen are on the look out for decided bargains, and are alluied by outward show. This may he a strange acknowledgment for a father to make, but really, Susan and Sophia have become recently engaged to gen tlemen of captivating appearance, which I attribute to our style of living. Two others seem on the point of pro posing to my other daughters, and in this manner I shall soon have provid ed them with those whose duty it shall he to relieve me from further expense in their behalf. “Thus there is something really gained where at first it appeared os a losing game. Appearances well sus tained always count in cities. I re member to have maintained a show of wealth some years ago, when I could have taken the poor debtor’s oath with out any qualms of conscience. Grad ually I accumulated what little I now possess. My house is heavily mort gaged ; and between us, in confidence, I tell you I shall dispose of it as soon as my daughters are married and off my hands. If I have acted unwisoly, he assured I have many who will hoar mo company. “ Yours, H. Newcombe.” And did Mr. Newcombe succeed as lie expected® Were his daughters “decided bargains?” and were the young men whom they married de serving of such appellation ? Susan married a broker in fancy stocks; he speculated largely, and “ swamped” six months after he stood at the hymeneal altar. Sophie mar ried a foreigner, “ a divine young crea ture,” who was reclaimed by his par ents and returned to parts unknown, leaving his wife, with her unpaid board hill at a fashionable hotel. Jane re sides in a swelled front house under the immediate eye of the “ old folks,” and has little surplus chauge to expend in “ decided bargains.” Fidelia’s hus band is bankrupt, and now seeking a clerkship. Thus were they all taken off Mr. Newcombe’s hands. He has since sold his house at a few thousands advance for what he paid for it, and boards in the suburbs, where he daily patronizes an omnibus to the city. And the Newcombes, we know, are not solitary examples who are on the lookout for “ decided bargains.” Nei ther are women alone duped by the search to secure the best articles at the cheapest rates. Many a disastrous speculation has been entered upon be cause it purported to be a “ good bar gain.” Much mouey in thus expended which never repays the outlay ; but this is a mere trifle compared with engaging upon a matrimonial alliance solely because there is a show of wealth and undoubted credit. The bank rupt here must pocket his loss and make the best of a poor trade. We are always suspicious about find ing “ decided bargains.” Generally somebody is made wretched by the sale which benefits another. A stock of rich goods thrown into the market is visited upon the importer, or him from whom they were originally pur chased. Besides, it is not always expedient to purchase certain fabrics because they are cheap. Bridget, it is true, may find herself a silk at seventy-five cents per yard; but the merino, at thirty-seven cents is a much more ap propriate article, as well as a better bargain. So her mistress may pur chase a brocade at two dollars per yard, which may be accounted decide dly cheap; but if her husband is every day in the street inquiring if his neigh bors have “ anything over,” the most judicious people would approve of her being attired in a cheaper article. Velvet and brocades were intended for the opulent, and there is propriety iu corresponding to one’s circumstan ces which makes any apparel becom ing to the wearer. Above all things, holding out false appearances to obtain credit and impose upon the unwary, is always impolitic, and savors ofa weak mind. If everybody was arres ted who lives and acts under “false pretenses,” what court-room would hold the criminals? Tf we would but Fashion In the Sew and In the Old j one. <• The modern style of buying pat- ^ r * ri ** ent medicines warranted to purify the The young king of Siam, cherishing 1 blo ^ rin,t Worthless caricature of Elisha Williams, of Columbia coun ty, New York, was n most graceful speaker, and his voice, particularly in its pathetic tones, was melody itself. All who remember Ogden Hoffman’s voice (he was called “ the flute” by his fellow members of the Bar of New York,) can appreciate the mellifluous oratory of Mr. Williams. His power over a jury was aston ishing He swayed them as with the wand of an enchantress; aud it was very seldom he failed to secure a verdict for his client; but on one occasion he did it in such a ridiculous manner that a crowded court and grave judges on the bench were convulsed with laugh ter at the burlesque of the result. He was completely discomfited by an ignorant, impudent, unlettered pet tifogger, who knew no law, but some how or rather had the credit of shrewd ness, and the reputation among his neighbors of being hard t > heat. The case, if we remember rightly, was an act of murder. Mr. Williams, of course, on the ground of his power over a jury, was for the defence. His peroration was exceedingly touching and beautiful. “Gentlemen of the jury,” said he, “ if you can find the unhappy prisoner at the bar guflty of the crime with which he is charged, after the adverse and irrefragible arguments which I have laid out before you, pronounce your verdict. Send him to lie in chains on a dungeon floor, waiting the death which he is to receive at your hands ; then go to the bosom of your families—go lay your heads on your pillows, and sleep if you can.” The effect of these closing words of the great legal orator was at first thril ling, ami hy-and-hy the pettifogger, who had volunteered to follow the prosecuting attorney, arose and said : “ Gentlemen of the jury, I should, despair after the weeping speech that has been made tj you by Mr. Wil liams, of saying anything to you to do away with his eloquence. I never heard Mr. Williams speak that piece of his’n better than ho spoke it just now. Oticc I heard him speak it in a case of stealing down in Schagtieoke; then he spoke it ag’in in the case of rape up to Esopus, and the last time I heard it before jest now, was when them niggers was tried—and convicted, too, they was—for robbing Van Pelt’s hen house, over bevoud Kingston, but I never knowcd him to speak it so ele gant and affectin’ as what he spoke it jest now.” This was a poser. The jury looked at one another, whisjiered together, and our pettifogger saw at once that he had got them. He stopped at once, closing with the brief remark:— “ If you can’t see, gentlemen of the jury, that this one speech don’t answer all cases, there’s no use my savin’ any more.” And there wasn’t; he mnde his case, and thev awarded his verdict. a friendly regard for an American lady who had, during the reign of his late father, resided in the royal city, requested her to send him her likeness. This was accordingly done by the hands of a mutual friend, and the gift, as we iearn from a recent letter, was received with marked pleasure by the monarch. But afetr a long aud care- ’ ful scrutiny, he asked with a puzzled air, “ Has my friend changed her na tion or her religion ? It must be one or the other. The features are the same, but the dress ? This is not the costume she wore when I saw her last.” And thus it ever is in the East.—• Orientals cannot possibly comprehend why the style of dress should be chang ed, unless of necessity. Antony them each nation and tribe has its peculiar costume, os well as its insignia of reli gious creed; and these fashions are porpetuai, the lapse of thousands of years ordinarily being unmarked by any special change. The loose Orient al sleeve, adopted of late years by our ladies, has Itecii worn in Chinn for | thousands of years ; the various has-1 ques, sacks, aud jackets, so generally prevalent among us at the present time, have all been portions of the na tional costume of Burmalt, Siam, and Malaya from time immemorial; and so of many of the styles introduced as new in our Western World. Some of their ff shions, it is true, seem very ab surd to our unaccustomed eyes ; but ours doubtless appear equally strange to an Oriental, who regards red ns the appropriate color for a bride, white for mourning, and yellow as the distin guishing costume of the clergy.—Lip- pincott’s Magazine. A Profitable Business. Beauty of Old People. Men and women make their own beauty or their own ugliness. Lord Lytton speaks in one of his novels, of a man “ who was uglier than he had any business to beand if he could but read it, every human being carries his life in his face, and is good-looking or the reverse as that life has been good or evil. On our features the fine chisel of thought and emotion arc eternally at work. Beauty is not the monopoly of blooming young men and of white and pink maidens. There is a slow-growing beauty which only eoincs to perfection in old age. Grace belongs to no period of life, and good ness improves the longer it exists. I have seen sweeter smiles from a lip of seventy than upon a lip of seventeen. There is the beauty of youth and the beauty of holiness—a beauty much more seldom met, aud more frequently found in the arm-chair by the fire, with graudchildern around its knee, than in the ball-room or promenade.— Husband and wife, who have fought the world side by side, who have made common stock of joy or sorrow, aud age together, are not unfrequently found curiously alike in personal ap pearance, and in pitch and tone of voice—just as twin pebbles on the beach, exposed to the same tidal influ ences, are each other’s second self.— He has gained a feminine something, which brings his manhood into full re lief. She has gained a masculine something which acts as a foil to her womanhood. Beets.—Not much can be done except to keep clear of weeds as they arc nearly full grown. Take care that they are not two thick, and if two have been left together pull one out. Orange growing in California— like the intelligent culture of this fruit else where—is very remunerative. The average yield of orange trees in that State is set down at about oue thou sand five hundred for each tree. As suming seventy trees to an acre and one thousand oranges to a tree, the product of seventy thousand oranges would result. As these would sell at S20 per thousand, an orangery of ten acres would give a gross revenue of 614,000, which, reduced by one-half to include all contingencies of poor crops, &c., would leave 67,000 as the almost certain value of a season’s growth. At Los Angelos recently a single crop was sold for 620,000, while the entire outlay due to pruning, tak ing care of the ground, and attendance of the growing fruit was not more than 8500. As an investment there is prob ably no better one than that of a few thousand dollars in planting an orange ry—say in Florida. The original cost would be slight; and after a few years, when the trees begin to hear, the re turns of a good season—barring any possible loss from frost, which is the great enemy of the orange grower— will quite cover the expenses entailed. After that a comfortable income may confidently lie anticipated from the proceeds of the yearly crops. Beards and Behavior.—What would men do without their beards and mustaches on Sundays, when they are compelled to sit still for the space of an hour, and cannot go out in the pate- ses for either a smoke or a drink ?— That’s the time they take to bite off the ends of mustaches, twist them into fantastic shapes, and comb out their beards with their fidgety fingers. Talk of the “ nervousness of women !”— Thank goodness, they know how to sit still! I can think of nothing but a hyena in a small cage, when I see a man “ in mcetin.’ ” Tt is idefying to see his abortive attempts to behave.— Fanny Fern. , the good old way. Buy the best “ yarbs” the botanical stores afford, or beg among your neighbors, if they are better off than yourself, and make your own Spring Bitters—it is a better Way than to buy secret remedies which may, or may not, be of some value. Above all things do not fret, “Let this mad world wag as it will” —do you be calm, cheerful, aud meet all tbe disasters, which can attend the “ breaking up of a hard winter” with, equanimity. Photography Simplified. A new photographic process ut pe culiar simplicity is attracting much at tention abroad on account of its dis pensing with much of the parapher nalia which, iu the present mode, in volves so great an ainouut of trouble. Instead of the usual nitrate of silver bath the inventor employs what is known as an emulsion ; that is, he mix es with the ususul collodion a few j grains of nitrate of silver and also of 1 nitrate of uranium. These substances- give to the collodion a remarkable sensitiveness to light. In taking pic tures, the operator simply pours the sensitized collodion upon the glass plate, cud then rinses it in water.— The plate is now ready for immediate use, or it may be kept, in a dark place, of course, and used at convenience.— The picture is readily developed by- means of pyrogallicacid, ammonia and bromide of potassium, aud the finest pictures are, it is asserted, produced, with more certainty aud much less trouble than by the ordinary process. Indeecd, repeated trials upon all sorts of pictures, outdoor views and gallery- portraiture, have proved the new process to be more sensitive thnfc the wet process—finer pictures with lcs labor being the result. Spring Fever. With the advent of spring, sickne.73 enters many a household. It lays its heavy hand upon its victim just as moving or housecleaning is iu pro gress, when it is impossible for the fami ly always to hastow all needed care upon the invalid. “ Prevention is better than cure.' If you can guard against sudden chills till settled summer weather comes, you will ward off severe illness most effect ually. Dress warmly; protect the feet; keep on all flannels till the May storm is past; eat less meat as spring advances ; have as varied a diet as pos sible ; do not attempt to accomplish too much hard work in one day, and you will have done all you can to turn a cold shoulder to sickness, when he pauses at your threshold. A good cathartic, judiciously admin istered, will often avert an illness, bat it should be remembered that exposure and fatigue must be avoided, when such a remedy is used. The old fash ion of taking Thoroughworth tea, home-made sarsaparilla, etc., to puri fy the blood in the spring, was a wise A Fish Savings Ilank. They must have some good heads in the Russian Government—the proof of which appears in a curious kind of savings bank established in Siberia. — The inhabitants of the northwestern part of that region live substantially upon salmon, which enter the streams in summer spawn. Then the natives take immense quantities cf the fish, dry them and lay by a supply to last till the next season. But about even- third or fourth year on the average— though with considerable irrcgularitv —the salmon do not appear, and the consequence is a famine, which, fulling first upon the dog-teams of the people, disables the latter from drawing sup plies from other quarters. To prevent the terrible sufferings which have aris en from this cause, the Russian Gov ernment . established at Kolyma, a Russian post on the Arctic Ocean, a sort of savings bank with a capital of one hundred thousand dried fish pur chased from the natives and stored away. Then a law was enacted com pelling every adult male inhabitant of the settlement t<> pay into the hank annually one-tenth of all the fish he caught, and no excuse for a failure was admitted—this continuing as Tong as the fish season remained good. But when there was a failure of the salmon and starvation impended, every depos itor was entitled to borrow from the bank fish enough for his regular sup plies, on condition of repayment next year. This bank, at the last advices, had carried the people, through two consecutive years of famine, and accu mulated a capital of 300,000 dried fish, and was still accumulating at the rate of 20.000 a year. It was thus on the broard road to wealth, besides be- ing a fountain of benificence to the people. It is the principle of Joseph’s management in Egypt, with all the modern improvements required bv the state of society in Siberia. Immortality.—The following beau tiful gem is from the pen of the late Geo. D. Prentice : “ Why is it that the rain and the cloud come over us with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass away and leave us to moan on their faded loveliness? Why is it that the stars which hold their nightly festival around the midnight throne, are placed beyond the reach of our limited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory?— And why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view, and then taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of affection to flow back Alpine torrents upon our hearts ? "We are born to a higher des tiny than that of earth. T! ere is a realm where the rain-bow never fades —where the stars will be set out Im-- fore us like islands that slumbe • on the ocean, and where the beautiful being that passes before us like a meteor, will stay in our presence forever."
