sj|t ptlu slttSS. City Printer —Official Paper lAMBST~CITI CIRtTLATION TUESDAY MORNING .March 4, 18*7 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. 190 BROM STREET. 190 aOODS DRESS GOODS, MILLINERY, BONNETS, HATS CAPS, HAT ORNAMENTS, SHAWLS, MUSLINS, CLOAKS, FLANNEL&.
