How the thought cornea etirring and aaddening the eoul, ea we look fur buck through the long, dim urchee of de puted d»j», and aee the green oueta over which our feet once wandered, and to which we can never, no never, return t Thara'a a beautiful son* on the alumbroua air, That drift* through the valley or dream* ; It oume* from a dime where the ro*e* were, And a tuneful heart and bright brown hair That waved in the morning beam*. Soft eye* of aiure and eye* of brown. And mow-white forehead* are there; A gtlmering Cron and a glittering Crown, A thorny bed, and a couch of down, Loat hope*, and leaflet* of prayer. A breath of spring in the breety woods, Swtet waft* from the quivering pine*— Blue violet eyes beneath greon hood*, A babble of brooklets, a scent of bnds, Bird warble* and elambering vine*. A rosy wreath in a dimpled hand, A ring and a slighted vow— Three golden links ofa broken band, A tiny track on the snow-white sand, A tear and a sinless brow. There’s a tincture of grief in the beautiful song That sobs on the slumbrous air, And loneliness felt In the festive throng, Sinks down in the soul as it trembles along From a clime where the roses were. We heard it first, at the dawn of day, And it mingted with matin chimes, • But Tims have distanced the beautiful lay, And its melody floweth from far away, And we eall it, now, Old Times ! Sarah J. C. Wkittles*y. Female Tress. The Round Table bus the following live ly article on Female Dress, and without saying pro or con, upon the subject, we submit it for the consideration of our fair readers: Female Dress. —At this time, when there is much pretence (with some reality) of artistic taste, when the arts of design are fostered in schools which furnish to their stndents all the aid that the most beautiful models of antiquity can give, and all the encouragemeut that praises, prizes, and flattering addresses can bestow; when from the labors of Wedgwood, aided by the genius of Flaxman, an impulse has been given to ceramic art which, stimulating the rivalry of continental manufactures, widens the circle of improvement with each successive Exposition until the hum blest eyes may be delighted in cup and platter; when the harmonies of color begin to draw upon upholsterer’s minds, and the community at large dimly feel that something beside expenditure is needed to make a room beautiful, it is time that people should cease to laugh at women attaching too much importance to dress. It would be strange if men of taste should care to possess pretty pictures and not care to see women make pretty of themselves, and in truth they will generally admire not the prettiest woman iH a room, but the one who is dressed most becomingly, only they sel dom know why they admire ; but have an idea that good taste in dress is a nat ural peculiarity, like blue eyes or black hair, and that it is a sign of frivolity. Now, frivolous or very vain women sel dom dress really well. They love dress not as means but as an eud, and they buy and wear everything that is new and pretty, without a thought of making their costumes suitable to their persous or temperament, to the society they are about to meet, or to the rooms and at mosphere that will form their surround- lags. The old English idea that French taste vas mere le\e of decoration, and that a French woman dressed better than an English one solely because she was more frivolous and less virtuos, is slowly fading away before the better knowledge gained by constant inter coarse, and perhaps the British mind may dimly feel that the women who have ruled the society of the most intellectual capital in the world through all its stormy periods, from the time when Mdlle. de Fontanges captivated Louis Qnatorez with a blue ribbon until the present day, cannot have been occupied in dressing for tfee sake of dress. But the Puritan ical idea that the lore of dress is sinful still governs os in theory, and the ca price of young people for fine clothes is winked at and indulged, instead of guided, until it becomes really vicious both morally and aesthetically. If young ladies were told that to dress well was a duty, they might not care for it so much as a pleasure, and the same amount of time that is wasted in foolish shopping and incongruous purchases might, it bestowed on a careful consideration of suitable colors and fabrics, serve to edu c: te their taste until it became like a Frenchwoman's, faultless, which means that they would attain a clear perception ot the fitness of things. In such a case the fashions would not be followed so blindly as now, for people would not be so helplessly destitute of ideas of tbeirowu, and would perceive that it may be less i> eiegai.t to be unfashionable than to be unbecomingly dressed, h is in vain to tell a woman that her looks are of no consequence. Her instinct is infallible and her experience will prove its truth. Her beauty is a power, a defence, a wcapor j although if she be a woman (A any capacity, it is but a small part of the aggregate of forces she can use to i tbs inequality of her position >• her social life. Ugly women are very fond of talking as if pretty ones bad no brains, and pretty ones are too apt to give them some shade of reason ; both, so far, fail to prove their fitness for an equality which is so vociferously claimed, and which ought to rest upon their capacity for developing in the highest degree qualities totally dissimilar to those of the opposite sex, bot equally necessary to the government of society. If women cannot excel in dress, tbs only thing that is left to their unaided judgment, the masculine mind can scarcely be blamed if it hesitates to entrust them with more serious respon sibilities. Voting might be easier than choosing a bonnet, but the consequences ot a mistake io judgment might be more serious to the commnnity, though not to the individual. The same folly which chose a pretty bonnet, defying its un suitability, would vote for tbe handsomest —however otherwise unfit—candidate. Tbe same fond belief In the impossible which could lead to tbe idea that a magnificent cloak might cover or atone for all deficiencies in bonnet or boots, would assuredly give a vote to some prophet of an imminent Utopia wherein neither babies should cry, nop cooks burn dinners, nor washing days torture tho grumbling household. , * N# asm, of 'magistrate t Latter* shouM not b* kaown , rich*#, puv *Hg, _ AbA use of aarviaa, nous jjooatract, «uo easstaa, Bomb, bound of lead, tit!*, vineyard, bobs; No bso of ■Utah ton, or wist, or oil j No ooMpatioa ; all as«B tdlo—all — And womb, too, bat iaaoeoat and pus*.” Then, too, a woraa thing might befall, for among the throng minded, who would vote with an energy the greater from ita long repreeaion, bloomeriam atill he* disciples. They eonld exert poli tical influence, and bills might be paased compelling all the pretty girl* who enliven Broadway and make Fifth Avenue a place to refresh the weary aoul to cut off their hair and wear aucu hideout vestment* as female doctors con sider essential to the development of their faculties. But in all things evil their is still a grain of good, and the bloomer dress it highly suitablo under certain circumstances —for example, in the gymnasium. And as time wears on it will be found that although it is incompatible with the spirit of the age that persons should wear clothing sig nificant of the calling, in any more marked sense thau in its shabbiness or bad taste, yet the pressure of physical labor in a climate so exhausting to the system as this will compel women to adopot a costume adapted to their work, to be worn only while engaged in it. Nothing can be more distasteful to an educated taste than to see some fashion designed for a luxurious mode of Use imitated in a wretched material, and worn tightwhere it should for convenience sake be loose, and long where its length is a nuisance, impending the labor al ready sufficiently severe. If ladies would teach by example (the only way that ladies can teach servants) the com fort and the beauty of au appropriate costume, the servants would copy them in that as in other matters, and bonses and children would be better, because more easily attended to. But so long as women oscillate like pendulums between an extravagant and tasteless love of dress and an affected contempt for it, so long will New York exhibit in strongest contrast the extremes that meet; the extreme folly of the rich and the extreme folly of the poor who imi tata them.
