THE HUT ON THE VACANT
LOT.
W, lire la a hat oa a vacant lot,
Patbar and mother and I ;
'Ha away up town, and a dreary spot,
WUk old itoao quarries hard by ;
Father la laay, and mother aha drinks,
And I am ragged and thin ;
And I look like a thief, for ’tla hard to be
Wh an circled around with tin.
’Tia a depurate place, this recant lot,
A region of famine and woe ;
The laborers found a strangled child
In the quarries, not long ago ;
And father is sometimes out all day,
And cornea staggering homo at night,
With money and things he hides away,
For he nerer comes by them right.
Mother is always at me to steal,
And urges her plea with a curse :
She tells me to sneak through the city
crowds,
And pocket a watch or a purse ;
And father beats me because I say
That I’d rather any day die.
I nerer hare robbed, and I never will rob,
And I’ll toll you the reason why.
There came to our hovel, three years ago,
A man with a sweet, mild face ;
And he held a holy book in his hand,
That he tried to read in our place;
But mother she swore at the mild faced
man,
And drove him out of our den.
And told him nerer, as long as he lived,
To darken her door again.
But something made me follow this man ;
I thin he beckoned to me,
And ho led me down the quarry’s cleft,
Where none of my people could see;
And he read me things from the holy book
That I never had heard before;
And somehow a peaco came over my
heart,
And I didn’t feel half so sore.
They may curse and beat mo as much as
they like,
I know what they don’t know ;
I know that things in the end corns right
For those that suffer below.
No matter how ragged or hungry I am,
With no one to like or to love,
I know that there’s a vacant lot for mo
In the beautiful land above.
The Latest Fashions.
Many ball-dress materials are of great
elegance. One of the principal, of a
fancy description, is the embroidered
silk tulle, the patterns of which are
bouquets of a lively shade of silk on
white satin, producing a very rich effect.
Satin is, par excellence, the material for
fall toilet, either for ceremonial visits or
evening dress. Striped velvets are
much in favor. Amber is a favorite
color for full dress; but of course it can
not be worn by ladies of a fair complex
ion. For walking costume, black is
still the favorite, though many toilets of
green or blue cloth, or of violet or brown
English velvet, are seen. Although the
short dress is still worn for morning
promenade, it is principally confined to
qnite young girls, and is scarcely ad
missible for visiting dress. Avery few
have been seen for full dress, but we
may say the trained skirt is almost
indispensible. The make of dresses
tends more and more to the empire
style, the bodies beiug so short that the
skirt is nearly close up to the arm.
The bonnets worn for visiting dress,
have not altered in shape since the com
mencement of the year, the artistic ar
rangements of the trimmings forming
the principal charm. Take, for example,
some of the newest models.
A bonnet of light green velvet, round
cd in front. Flat crown aud small
curtain, the whole embroidered with
beads, and trimmed with feather fringe.
The inside is ornamented with a mag
nolia in white velvet, with gold centre.
Over the curtain wide guides of green
satin worked with beads.
JJAnother, of the blue satin, embroid
ered in small pearl and crystal beads,
trimmed with a wreath of small roses.
Strings of moire.
A white satin bonnet, the same shape,
was trimmed with ar. aigrette of feathers
and small wreath ot tinted leaves anu
jet ornaments. Strings of white moires,
with others of lace, worked with beads
falling over them.
The new model known as the “Anne
of Bretague"’ is rather pointed in front,
and back at the sides, rather in the
‘■Mary Stuart” style. It is made of vel
vet or satin, in light shades. The crown
is flat, and the front buillonnee, trimmed
with a wreath of feathers, and at the
side a small bouquet of leathers or flow
ers. Very wide strings, to match the
bonnet.
An empire bonnet of blue velvet; the
crown and front in plats, fasten id by a
narrow passementerie ot white silk and
beads. The edge is trimmed with a
fringe of white feathers and lace. Blue
satin strings.
A Graeiosa, with flat crown of poucean
velvet, and narrow straight curtain em
broidered wi h beads, with a fringe of
the same all round. The lront is trim
med with a puff of black marabouts
spotted with jet. Strings ot ponceau
velvet and lace.
Another, of Bismarck velvet, was
trimmed with a wreath of ivy and
ornaments of jet. Strings of moire, the
same color as the velvet, lined with
white moire.
Avery pretty Mary Stuart bonnet
wag made of white satin, worked with
beads, and trimmed with a white
feather, the end of which fell over the
point in front. Strings of white satin,
and bouquet of scarlet geranium at the
side.
Black velvet bonhets are almost uni
versally worn for morning dress, with
black strings, and very little trimming.
The same style is also worn for visiting :
but those for visits of ceremony should
lie of colored velvet or satin, trimmed
with beads and feathers, or flowers.—
Le Folia.
A merchant in Belfast had at one
time iu his employ, an Irishman pos
sessed of a good deal more zeal than
knowledge. His employer gave him
the key of his post office box one morn
ing, with directions to “go and get the
contents of forty Pat vanished, but
presently came back with pockets, hat
and hands filled wi h a miscellaneous
collection ot letters, etc.,and the explan
ation :
“I couldu’t open forty boxes, sir, but
I opened all I could, and here thoy be !”
Swapping Wivsb.—A most singular
lawsuit is now on trial at Albany, N. Y.
Two young men, each married but a few
weeks, got sick of tbeir wives, and pro
posed to “swop,” and very singularly,
the women consented. But the husband
of the homeliest promised to pay S3O to
boot, as he has neglected to hand
over, the suit is brought to recover
the money.
—James Gordon Bennett, Jr., has re
turned from Europe.
