COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 11, 1877. TU£ EVESISO STAB. [From the Spanish of Lupercio Leonardo de Ar- gensoku] Ohl fair and goodly star Upon the brow of night, That from tliy silver car Slioot’st on the darken'd world thy friendly light; Thy path is calm and bright Through the dear azure of the starry way. Aod from thy heavenly height Thou see’st how systems rise and pass away— Tin- birth of human hopes, their blossom and decay. Oh! That my spirit could Cast off i s mould o' clay, And with the wise and good Make wing- unto itself and flee away: That with thy bright array We might look down upon this world of woe JSvon as the God of day Looks on the restless ocean flow, And eyes the fighting waves that pant and foam below. Alas! It may not be— For mortal fetters bind To dull mortality The prison’d essence of th’ immortal mind: Of rourse is too cjnfintd— And a-, beneath the sun that blazed too bright The Cretan’s waxen wing declined, Before the spl-nd r of Immortal light Our failing pinions fail and plunge us back to night. Then let my coarse below To them be near allied— Far irom the worldly show, Through d in sequester’d vallies let me glide: Scarce be my step descried A n.id the pompous pageant of the scene; But where the bezels l ide Cool stream or shado beneath their leafy screen, Mine be the grassy Boat all lovely, lone and green. Within those verdant bounds, Where sweet to ear and eye Come gentle sights and sounds, ’J h - current of my days shall murmur by, In calm tranquility; Not doomed to roll o’er passion’s rocky bed, Not sloihfuliy to lie L'ke ’be dull fools in stagnant marshes bred Where waving weeds are rank, and noxious tendrils spread. c asiiio.v Non:s. Plush is the rage. Kid bonnets grow in favor. The Breton is a new jacket. Flush bonnets are novelties. Trailing skirts are moribund. Shopping for valentines Has begun. Fancy ball costumes are in demand. The coming mantle is the Incroyable. Brazilian insect ornaments re in de mand. The “Emma Abbott” the newest pol onaise. Dresses ere made narrower than ever in front. Icelandic costumes will be worn at fan cy balls. Children’s paletots are as long as their dresses. Gentlemen wear black silk or alpaca dominoes. Japanese styles of costume are coming in vogue. Sleeves are so tight that it is difficult to bend the arm. The Danicheff domino is of black moire trimmed with red. Large pockets and capes are seen on children's paletots. Centennial costumes will not be worn at fancy balls this season. All opera bonnets and hats are small and have low crowns. Satin and plush ribbons are the rage of the moment in London. Black cashmere is still the favorite fab ric for dresses for old ladies. Jewels and feathers are very fashiona ble for trimming ball dresses. Japanese costumes are very popular for fancy balls and masquerades, j 4.Turban bats are very fashionable in Loudon according to fashion jonrnals. Historic costumes are very fashionable for masquerades and fancy balls. A new trimming used in the place of fur is a mirabout of silk and chenille. Brazilian feathers and insects are very fashionable for fancy ball coiffures. Venetian dominoes, with long sleeves and a cape, are seen at the costumers No fashionable lady wears a Gainsbor ough or large hat to the theater or opera. The newest and most expensive dress trimming is made of parrot’s feathers. All Parisian coiffures require an abun dant ehevalure or quantities of false hair. Chefs d'cevres of painting in water col ors are seen on many of the new valen tines. All kinds of crochet, netting, knitting and lace-making are fashionable for fancy work. Cream-colred dominoes, trimmed with cream lace, are in preparation for the masked balls. Fischus aud collarettes of velvet trim med with laces or lis3e pleatings are worn with open bodices. Lace scarfs are nsed as strings for open hats, attached in such a manner as to form a cape in the back of the bonnet. The ball dress of the season is the princesse, trimmed with scarfs and drape ries of lace, crape or some clinging ma terial. Chemises and drawers of foulard and pongee silks are worn by a few very fas tidious ladies. They are richly trimmed with iace and embroidery. Chemises and drawers of cream-colored pongee are trimmed with Valenciennes face and red of blue ribbon bows for fas tenings, instead of buttons. Pocket handkerchiefs of fine batiste are adorned with strips of blue, red, pur ple or black, and trimmed ‘with several rows of narrow Valenciennes. The Adelaide Vance “pull-back” skirt adjuster is a novelty which obviates the necessity for pins or strings in arranging the present style of draperies. Dark mastic gray kids are worn for morning toilet, a paler shade for after noon, and one still lighter for evening dress when the gloves do not matoh the costume. AH iii Oruamcnt and Dreu. * The celebrated French professor of tes- thetics has attempted the delicate task of bringing the art of self-adornment under more or less abstract rales. He boldly opposes the general notion according to which taste is a sort of instinct, which anticipates thought and defies strict theo ries; he does not acknowledge the bars of the cage within which our human intel lect seems to be kept prisoner like Vol taire, who defined taste as the faculty of quick perception of that which is beau tiful or defective in works of art indepen dent of reflection. Applied to personal ornament, it certainly seems difficult to confine this subtle 6enso within the com pass of rigid definitions. Can there be anything more vague, more varied, and more capricious than the cut, the combi nations of colors, or the arrangement of the draperies in the appearance of a well- dressed woman, and is there anything less adapted to be submitted to philo sophical analysis? And still M. Charles Blanc seems right, when be pretends that there are immutable laws even on this mysterious subject. In the brains of milliners, dressmakers and jewelers these laws may take the shape of instinct, and men are wont to admire a well-dressed woman as they admire a flower, without trying to discover what chemical agencies produced the variety of its colors; but great painters have always endeavored, unconsciously perhaps, to work out the rules which M. Charles Blano attempts to codify. Jeanne D*Arc. Individually, and as a nation, the French have been so often led to misery by women, that we cannot wonder at the prominent rank which their deliverer, the valiant Maid of Orleans, takes among their heroines. What is known of her warlike exploits and unhappy end rests principally on manuscript documents re lating to her trial, and preservod in the Royal Library in Paris. To these au* thentic facts many others of a merely le gendary character have been added in the course of time. Jeanne d’Arc was born in 1410, at Domremy, as a simple peas ant’s daughter. France was then, and for many years after, redneed to the low est depth of misery by internecine wars, by famine and pestilence. In 1429 Charles VII’s last hope to stem the tide of the English invaders rested on the for tified town of Orleans; and just when the broken king bad determined to leave this last stronghold to its fate, Jeanne d’Arc appeared at Chimon on the 24th of of February, and proclaimed her mission to save France. After but short hesita' tion the councillors of the king deoided to put the influence of the fair devotee over a superstitious soldiery to the test. They entrusted her with a convoy to be taken into Orleans, aud in this she sue ceeded on the 29 th of April. In the sub sequent attacks on the English line Jeanne d’Arc took a prominent part, car rying her followers to victory under the impulse imparted by religious enthusi asm. The taking of the fort of Tou- rellee, on which occasion the Pucelle was wounded, raised the seige. Charles VII. then took his army through a series of victories, under the guidance of Jeanne d’Arc, to Rheims. After the coronation of the king in July, the Maid of Orleans declared her mission ended, and wanted to retire, bat was persuaded to follow the army before Paris. This town was taken by assault, and Jeanne d’Aro, al though wounded, accompanied the king to offer prayers at the shrine of St. Den nis. Again dissuaded from her earnest wish to retire, the Maid of Orleans, now received among the nobility of France, gave new proofs of her personal valor before Saint Pierre de Montier, and then was detached with a separate corps d’ar- mee to the north. Here the fortune of war turned. On the 24th of May, 1430, Jeanne d’Arc was taken prisoner by the troops of the Dnke of Burgundy, who sided with the invaders, and handed over to the Duke of Bedford. Imprisoned first at Arras, then at Crotoi, she was subjected to most crnel mental tortures aud ultimately tried as a sorceress and a heretic before the Bishop of Beauvais. The result of the trial was a preconcerted act of vengeance, and the 31st of May 1431, saw the Maid of Orleans burned at the stake, and her ashes thrown into the Seine. Thus perished the deliverer of France, an honest enthusiast and a brave woman, to say the least in her praise, whose valiant deeds found but a late ac knowledgement in the statues and mon uments erected to her memory some years ago.—[London Queen. TBAKSVEBSE AND PARALLEL. My will, dear Lord from thine doth run Too oft a difierent way! ’Tis hard to say ‘Thy will he done 1 ’ In every darkened day To Bee thy will, Tarn all life’s gold to gray. My wi l is set to gather flowers, Thine blights them in my hand; Mine reaches for life’s sunny hours. Thine leads through shadow land; Aud all my days Go on in ways I cannot understand. Yet more and more this truth doth shine From fa lore and from loss; The will that rnns transverse to Thine, Doth thereby make it cross; Thine upright will Cutsjstraight and still Through pride and dreams and dross. But if in parallel to Thine My will doth meekly run, All things in heaven and earth are mine, My will is crossed by none; Thon art in me, And I in Thee, Thy will and mine be done. NOT AI.lt. Lamp Tapebs.—Old paper collars cut in strips a quarter of an inch wide make an excellent taper for lighting lamps. Squeaking Shoes.—It is said that the unpleasant sqneak of boots and shoes may be prevented by simply driving a row of pegs through the sole from the toe towards the heel. The noise is caus ed by the friction of the layer in the cen tre. This method stiffens the sole some what, bat is preferable to the intolerable sole agony. A Relish fob Bbeakfast.—Take one- fonrth pound fresh cheese, ont in thin slices, put it in a frying-pan,turning over it a large capful sweet milk; add one- fourth teaspoonful dry mustard, a piuoh of salt and pepper and a piece of batter the size-of a butternut; stir the mixture all the time. Roll three Boston crackers very fine, and sprinkle in gradually, then turn at once into a warm dish; to be sent to the table immediately. To Extinguish Kebosene Flames.— One of the most ready means is to throw cloth of some kind over the flames, and thus stifle it; but as the clot is not always convenient to the kitchen, where such accidents most frequently occur, some one recommends flour as a substitute, which always is at hand iu the kitchen, and which, it is said, promptly extin guishes the flames. It rapidly absorbs the fluid, deadens the flame, and can be readily gathered up and thrown out of doors when the fire is out. Moth Pbeventative.— The following recipe for keeping moth oat of clothing, it is said, is a favorite in some families: Mix half a pint of alchohol, the same quantity of Bpirita of turpentine, and two ounces of camphor. Keep in a stone bottle, and shake before nsing. The clothes, or fnrs, are to be wrapped in linen, and crumbled up pieces of blot ting paper dipped in the liquid are to be placed in tbe box with them, so that it smells strong. This requires renewing about once a year. Watery Potatoes.—The Housekeeper says: We have found from onr own ex perience that potatoes are very watery from the month of March till the market offers us new ones. Iu our kitchen we overcome the soggy disposition of these valuable vegetables by soaking them a few hours in cold water, and putting them into hot wat -r to boil, without salt; then, when they are tender nearly all the way through, turn the water off, and refill the saucepan with cold water. Put in salt and boil till they are qaite done; drain off that water also, cover as tightly as possible and set on the back of the range to steam, lifting the cover for an instant once or twice; then, with one hand holding down the lid, shake the saucepan gently, quickly and steadily for a moment, and serve your potatoes hot. If rightly managed they will be like snow*balls. —Smidgkins says—Make your home happy—even if yon have to stay away from it. ‘The world’s not all a fleeting show To man’s illusion given;’ He that hath soothed the widow's woe Or wiped an orphan’s tear, doth know There’s something here of Heaven. And he that walks life’s thorny way, With feelings calm and even; Whose path is lit from day to day, By virtue’* bright and steady ray, Hath something felt of Heaven. He that the Christian’s course has run, And all his f es forgiven; Who measures out life’s little span In lore t> God and loTe to man, On earth hath tasted Heaven. THE DEATH OF CHRIST. ITS PHYSICAL CAUSE EXPLAINED BY BEV. T. A. HOYT. Nashville American.] A large congregation assembled at the First Presbyterian Church Sunday night, to hear the sermon of Rev. T. A. Hoyt, upon the “Physical causes of the Death oL Christ.” The sermon was delivered by special request, and some two bun/ dred and fifty or three hundred of tbe stu dents from the medical class of the Nash ville and Vanderbilt Universities were present. The subject was handled in a masterly manner and was an admirable desertation both from a scientific and theological point of view. It was listened to throughout with the closest attention. Mr. Hoyt, after reading the 19th chap ter of St. John, chose the 34th verse for his text. The verse reads: “But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.” Mr. Hoyt said that eminent theologians as well as physicians had looked with the closest scrutiny at the facts concering the death of Christ, and had all agreed that the immediate cause of his death was ruptnre of the heart which fact was made evident by the issuing of blood mingled with water when his side was pierced by the soldier’s spear. He said that death by crucifixion was slow, and the victim generally lingered from two to three days, and was sometimes known to have lingered as long as five days. Death gen erally resulted from exhaustion and a complete giving away of the vital powers. That in the instance of Christ’s death he had been upon the Cross but six hours, that is from 9 o’clock in the morning un til 3 in the afternoon. Previous to that time he had been in a perfectly sound state of health, and it was not likely he wouid have perished so soon from mere exhaustion. Just before his death it was stated that Jesus cried with a loud voice, which of itself showed that he was not in a state of exhaustion. Mr. Hoyt referred to and read some letters from distingnisbed physicians of Scotland and elsewhere in support of the theory of a broken heart. Then in beau tiful, solemn and touching remarks the speaker dwelt upon the load of guilt and sin, borne for perishing mortals, and im puted to Christ, and the accompanyiri^ curse of God as the canse that bowed Christ’s head in woe and broke his heart, and drew therefrom the lesson of love and gratitude that sinners owed to their Redeemer. »ympalby, There is a yearning in every hnman breast for sympathy, says the N. T. Ob server. It is the experience of the little child. In[all its little troubles it runs to its mother for the sympathetic word or kiss; nor when it has grown np to manhood, amidst the sterner realities of life, has this felt need forsaken the heart. The strongest and tbe greatest are not strangers to it. We all have onr deep appealing wants, and feel the need of friends who can be “touched with the feeling of our infirmities.” There is no class of men who are unappreciative in this regard. Even ministers are not an exception. They are often thought to be so by some—at least we infer it from their conduct. Dr. Todd complains of this in his own experience. Sadly does he write: “I never feel the breath of sympathy.” There was doubtless no lack of sympa thizing ones among his numerous flocks; bat they seem to have regarded him as above the need of sympathy, or them selves as incapable of imparting it. And how many a minister, were he to give ex pression to his feelings, would do it in similar language. He devotes himself to the best well-being of his people. He spends and is spent for their good. He wears himself ont in their service. He sympathizes with them in all their trials and bears all their burdens. He hastens to their homes in all their afflictions, and ponrs the balm of consolation into their wounded hearts. But his own sorrows he bears alone. So far as spmpatby from his people is concerned,he is nnconsoled. None tenderly inquire after his welfare; none have a cheering word for him. If people wonld have better ministers, let them be more sympathetic. Tbe Sa viour himself was not above its favora ble influence. Doubtless be was cheered and strengthened in soul by his visits to that hospitable home at Bethany. He not only left a blessing with that saintly household, but he carried one with him as he departed to encounter afresh the coldness and the scorn of an osympathiz- ing world. New Advertisements.
