City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION FRIDAY MORNING Jan. 4, 18*7 T H eVtIN LOWS- I .land In the odd ami cheerless street, 'Mid the thickly 'ailing non, And gate, with a sad and aching heart, At the windows bright with the warmth and light Which gladdens the walls within; While the snow comes down on the roofs of the town, And theslreolt to Ailed with tin. I think of the hearths where the Are light shines, And the forms that are gathered there, Os the pleasant faces lit up by the glow, And the h ippy smiles thoy wear. I think of them all, while the snow-flakes fall, * At I gate through a mist of tears; And out of the vast and hidden Past Comes the ghost of other years. Once I had wealth and a host of friends, I had once a hetue and a wife, And a fair-haired child, with a radiant face, To gladden the hours of life— But my wealth it has fled, my child is long dead, And my wifo she left me to grieve: And my host of friends (there the sad talc ends!) They one and all took leave. And here to-night in the cheerless street, ’Mid the thickly falling snow, I stand and gasc, with an aching heart, At the windows all aglow ; A vagrant, I—who in days gone by Had servants to wait at my call— With no (riend to greet, and no home but the street, Where blinding snow-flakes fall. I watch the shadows that more within, As they quickly come and go; And sometimes a face draws near to the pane. To look on the street below— Too look on the street where the passing feet Are scarcely heard to tread; Where tho snow from tho skies like a pale shroud lies, Like a shroud that covers the dead. It is sometimes tho face of a child I see, And sometimes a maiden’s fair, With jewels of price in each delicate car, And a flower entwined with her hair; It i« sometimos a wife in the noon of life, j Or a matron in her prime; And sometimes a face where the eye may trace Thefnrrows which deepen with time. The children laugh in their innocent glee As they watch the falling snow; The maid listens to catch a step, A step th.-ti she has learned to know ; The young wife smiles as some thought be guiles The loving heart in the breast; And the old man's eyes glance up at tho skies, Where the good have hopes of rest. Rest! what a word is that to one With no home but the cheerless street — Where even the dogs shrink back with a growl At the houseless wretch they meet. Ob, when will bo tho light, so warm and bright, In the windows cease to shine ? For the glow on the walls to my mind re calls The eomforts that once were mine. Tite Female Beauties of Ireland. — . Monsieur Felix, one of the writers of the Constutionelle, having made a tour through Ireland this summer, pro nounces the following eulogium upon the women of- that country: The most remarkable element, the richest, and, certainly, the most full of life, of this land so life-full, is the population itself. No European race, that of the Caucas siau excepted,.can compete with it in beauty. The Irish blood is of a purity and distinction, especially among the females, which strikes all strangers with astonishment. The transparent white ness of the skin, the absorbing attrac tion, which, in France, is but the attri bute of one woman in a thousand, is here the general type. The daughter of the poor man, as well as the fine lady, possesses an opal or milky tint, the anus of a statue, the foot and hand of a duchess, and the bearing of a 'queen. In the most wretched streets of the olden quarters of Dublin, the most ideal tintiligs of the pencil would grow pale before the beauty of the children ; and in the compact crowd which each day occnpics the galleries of Merrion Square, there is certainly the most magnificent collection of human beings it is possible to meet. Blondes with black eyes, and brunettes with Hue, are by no means rare. The lace is as strong as it is handsome, as vigorous as it is charming. The girls of Connemara, with their queenly shoulders, and eyes of fire, would put to shame, at this day, those daughters of the East from whom they are said to be descended. Novel Mode ok Committing Suicide. ' —The following extraordinary account of a determined attempt at suicide is gravely related by the Epoca of Madrid: “The indfvidua! in question being tired of bis life, resolved to take such measures as must infallibly ensure his death. To that end he started for the sea shore, provided with a ladder, a rope, a loaded pistol, a bottle of poison, and a box of matches. Having some time before discovered a post standing a little way out in the water, he fixed his ladder against it, and ascending, fastened one end of the cord to the top and passed a slip knot arouud his neck, swallowed the poisoit, and striking a light, set fire to his clothes; then placing the pistol to bis'ear, kicked away the ladder, but in doing so, his hand swerved, and, as he fired at the same moment, the bullet, instead of penetrating his brain, divided the rope, and he fell into the sea, extin guishing his burning garments; also, a quantity of salt water he swallowed . caused him to throw up the poison he had taken ; so that he scrambled on the shore, convinced that his time had not yet arrived.” —When is soup likely to run out of the saucepan? When there is a leek in it. —A paper asks very innocently if it is any harm to rfit in the lapse of ages ? Another replies that it all depends on the kind of ages selected. Those from eighteen to twenty-five, it puts down as extra hazardous. CITY DIRECTORY. MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT. Mayor —Hou. John Foster; office, Clerk of Council’s office, City Hall, 2d floor.
