lam dying. Is she coming* The window open
wide,
Is she coming]! Oh, I love her more than ail the
world beside I
In her young and tender beauty, mast she know
and feel this loss?
Bavionr, hear my poor petition—teach her humbly
how to bear this; cross;
Help her tc be calm and patient when 1 moulder
in the dust;
Let her say and feel, my Father, that Thy ways
are true and just.
Is she coming? Go aad listen. I would see her
face once more;
I would hear her spooking to me ere life’s fevered
dream is o’er;
I would fold her to my bosom—look into her soft
bright eyes;
I would tell her how I lovo her—kiss her onco be
fore I die.
Is she coming? Oh,’tis evening, and my darling
comes not. still 1
Lift the curtain—it grows darker—it is sunset on
the hill;
All the evening dews are falling—I am cold—the
light i» gone.
Is she coming? Softly, softly, comes death's si
lent footsteps on;
I am going—come and kiss me—kiss me for my
darling wife.
Take for her my parting blessing—take the last
warm kiss of life;
Tell her I will wait to greet her where the good
and lovely are—
In that hoL.6 untouched by sorrow; tell her she
must meet me there.
Is she coming? Lift the curtain—let me see the
failing light;
Oh, I waut to see her? Surely she will come to
night?
Surely, ere the daylight dietb, I will fold her to
my bresst;
With her bead upon my bosom, calmly I could
sink to rest.
It is hard to die without her. Look—I think she’s
coming now;
I can almost feel her kisses on my faded cheek
and brow;
I can almost hear her wh'sper—feel her cheek up
on my cheek.
Harkl I hear the front door open. Is she coming?
* Did she speak?
No? Well, drop the curtain softly. I will see
her face no more
Till I see it smiling on me on the bright and bet
ter shore.
Tell her she must come and meet me in that Eden
land of light.
Tell her I’ll be waiting for her where there is no
deatb, no night;
Tell her that I called her darling—blessed her
with my dying breath.
Come and kiss me for my Lizzie—tell her love out-
liveth death.
IIOW TO. GET HARRIED.
Young ladies between sixteen and
twenty-five cannot be expected to under
stand this curious machine called the
“world;” a competent knowledge of
which is often not obtained until we
are too old to make use of it. The fol
lowing hints, t therefore, may not be un
acceptable or without their use:
All fish are not to be caught with the
same bait nor with the same hooks—
neither are all men to be caught by the
same means and measures. Some young
gentlemen are of the gudgeon species—
they are captured without much trouble;
others are of the mullet family—they are
not to be taken without a great deal of
manceuvreing.
Neither of these sorts make the best of
husbands; for if a man has not sense
enough to discover artifice, or to despise
it when it is discovered, he is scarcely
worth the trouble which must be employ
ed in captivating him. Plain dealing is
the best policy in matters of Iovq and
courtship, as well as in everything else.
Elegant accomplishments, music, paint
ing, dancing, etc., are often considered
as the strongest attractions to young men
who are in search of a partner for life,
and yet, perhaps, a good husband is sel
dom obtained by dancing, drawing or
singing. These things are well enough
if substantial, like the desert after the
dinner—by themselves they are all desert
and no dinner.
Young ladies should be recommended
not to lay too much stress on these ac
complishments—few of them can hope
to become eminent in suoh elegant arts,
and gentlemen who attend operas, theat
rical dances, and exhibitions of paintings
are not likely to be overwhelmed by a
mere amateur display of skill in the par
lor, boudoir, or ball room.
Do you wish your husband to be a man
of sense or a coxcomb? If the first bold
every species of affectation in dread and
abhorrence. Be, if possible what you
would wish to appear, but never attempt
to seem what you are not. The affecta
tion of wealth by dressing beyond one’s
means is a very common folly, and one
replete with mischief.
If a female can reconcile it to her con
science to deceive a man in respect to her
worldly circumstances, she will seldom
find it practicable to mislead him on that
ground into an offer of wedlook.
Suitors, with whom fortune is a prima
ry object, are generally serutenizing and
circumspect in such matters. If you
wish to get married and to marry well,
keep not too much company, nor be too
often away from home at parties and oth
er places of amusement; study to be am
iable, not merely to seem so; give some
attention to domestic economy, avoid ex
travagance in all things, cultivate your
mind, shun all levity of manners, pre
serving at the same time a proper degree
of cheerfulness.
If these rules will not avail, suppose
the facts to be against you, and resign
yourself patiently, remembering always
that it is better to be a happy old maid
than a miserable wife. Never expect fe
licity from any marriage which is brought
about by improper means, or by any
kind of deception or artifice. Matrimo
ny is too serious and permanent a thing
to be trifled with.
NEW THINGS IN FURNITURE.
CABPETS AND^THEIR LATEST STYLES—THE
EASTLAKE BAOE—TABLE CLOTHS
AND NAPKINS.
It has been clearly demonstrated by oc-
culists that large stariDgs designs in car
pets injure the eyes and produce headache
Small designs, unless the rooms are very
large, are the fashion, and these designs
are usually in subdued colors, the dead
Oriental hues being in immense vogue.
The French custom of centre-carpets,
with painted or inlaid borders, which ad
mit of taking up and shaking the carpet
every day, is obtaining favor, especially
for bed-rooms.
Tufted hall chairs is a late novelty, and
with these comes the tufted rug to cor
respond. The rugs with birds and ani
mals upon them are quite out of style,
•nd new designs have squares in rich
contrasting colors.
EASTLAKE FUBNITUBE.
Sir Charles Eastlake, whose name has
become a household word in connection
with household furniture and deco
rations, and whose designs have supplied
the of so much of the modern art
work in furniture, was an English paint
er, and the author of several works whioh
ere considered authoritative. He died in
1865, and it is his son, Mr. C. L. East-
lake, an architect of eminence, who has
given so great a stimulus to popular ideas
in regard to household furnishing and
the revival of the mediaeval forms of de-,
ooration. Many bear of “Eastlake,” and
do not know whether it is a kind of wood,
a color, or a fancy name for a design,
and do not like to ask, for fear of betray
ing their ignorance. What is really
meant by “Eastlake” design is the use of
straight instead of curved lines, and the
absence of ornamentation where it can
serve no good purpose. This furniture
is solid wood—ash, walnut, chestnut, ma
ple, or whatever it may be; but ash is
just now very fashionable, particularly if
china panels are to be used in decoration.
“When the old time wide fire-places
were in vogue centuries ago, hearths and
mantle-pieces were inlaid with tiles,
painted often in scriptural subjects; the
story of Ruth and Boaz, of Ruth and
Naomi, and other, have been told in this
way. Now poems and verses from cele
brated authors are chosen, and receive
original illustrations, or wild flowers,
grasses, birds or animals are selected; the
latter of the long slender species, as the
stork, through whioh to display the ar
tist’s genius or acquired power.” East-
lake sideboards are an attraction, and-no
where is the Eastlake movement more
apparent than here. From the superbly
carved chair with its straight back and
air of quaint formality, to tjie modest ru
ral chair of painted and varnished boughs
gnarld as they grow in the forest, and
preserving all the oddity of their natural
twists and turns, there spreads a proces
sion, so to speak, of chairs of every va
riety. A handsome chair for a library
has a scroll design. A very beautiful and
artistic design forms a scattering of
leaves and butterflies on a blue ground"
work, and so distributed as to appear to
have been driven in through the air and
scattered over the fabric. The relief is
perfect, and the effect a charming sur
prise. A handsome addition to parlor
furniture is the stools similar to the
Frdhch tabouret. These have a soft seat,
and are very desirable for rooms where
lady visitors are received, for, while they
are high enough to make an agreeable
seat, the absence of a back prevents that
disordering the drapery which a lady
dreads when sitting upon almost any
chair yet invented.
There are many novelties in table lin
en. The centres of tablecloths and nap
kins are white, and exquisitely colored
borders in buffs, reds and blues are in
troduced, wnich have been thoroughly
tested and will remain firm in oft repeat
ed washings. Many of the patterns wo
ven in these colors are of great beauty,
including countless styles and varieties.
A new style of napkin shows p white-wa
tered surface, and in the centre is woven
in red threads a crab, or lobster or fish;
while others show red cherries and other
fruit. The towels of the season are
handsome in pattern. Some are richly
embroidered in oriental designs, and oth
ers have a cluny lace pattern or an elabo
rate braidiDg pattern done in colored ta-
bour stitch. Such cloths, with napkins
to match, come in colored centres with
white borders, and others are shown in
wood colors or cream colored grounds.
BOOTS AND SHOES.
CATS.
Hear the yowling of the cats—
Dash the cats!
What galore of disputation in their conf’rence
’neath these slats;
List their doleful ulutation,
And their scretms of exaltation—
Yea their ghostly incarnation—
And their spats!
Why, it’s worse than yell of greasers,
Or than bickwo ids Ebenezers
Or than forty thousand wheezers
Stowed in vats?
O, for pail, or jack, or pillow,
Or a raging, mighty billow—
E’en that basket made of willow—
Even mats!
To hurl with deadly aim,
And a force that’s far from tame,
At said cats,
Cats, cats, cats,
C*ts, cats, ca s,
At thoFe yowling, prowling, growling Thomas
cats!
—A popnlar tune for a hungry man—
Hold the fork, fry ham coming. <
—Everything seems to be adulterated
nowadays except oysters and eggs, and
they often outlive their usefulness.
—A recently published notice of a mar

announcement: “No cards; no flowers;
nobody’s business.” t
—Professor Proctor says the earth is
growing larger. We are glad to hear it,
for real estate has shrank fearfully in the
last three years.
—A witness on the stand, in reply to a
question as to what the character of Mr.

“Well, I should Bay that be handles truth
very carelessly.”
—In giving geography lesson?, a school
master down E »st asked a boy: “What
State do you live in?” To which the boy
drawled through this nose in reply: “A
state of sin and misery.”
—An Irish coachman,driving past some
fields, addressing a smart girl engaged in
shearing, exclimed: “Arrah, my darling!
I wish I was in jail for stealing ye! ”
—“Betsy Quale, seventy-five years of
age, while smoking her pipe, accidentally
set fire to her clothing and was fatally
burned.” This is the oldest quail on toast
of which we have any record.
—A Wall street man who went to church
last Sunday remarked afterward that he
preferred the organ to the preacher. He
said there seemed to be a stop to the or
gan.
—A Georgia negro yristed a mule’s
tail to urge it over a fence. The small
attendance at the funeral next day show -
ed that the people didn’t care if be did
twist the mnle’s tail.
—“No, ma!” she said, “Charlie can
never be anything to me more. He came
ont this spring in his last fall overcoat.
And, O, ma! if it only matched my new
dress I wouldn’t care so mach; but it does
not, and we have parted.”
—Last Sabbath morning a minister
was earnestly disconring about Peter and
Paul, and said they were a “good pair.”
“Good hand!" sleepily murmured a half-
awakened sport in the* back pew. “Take
the pot; nothing’s here but ace high.”
—A lady who is an enthusiastic Repub
lican, named her canary bird Jim Blaine.
He did not sing mach; bat Bhe loved him
tenderly, antil, last Saturday, she discov
ered that Jim Blaine had laid an egg.
—“Are you there, my love?” he whis
pered through a hole in the fence of his
beloved’s back yard. “Yes, darling,”
was the reply; "jump right over!” He
did so, and alighted in the presanoe of
her mother, a broomstick, and a police-
