A COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 1877. 18 SHE COXIEST ANONYMOUS. “The bravest are the truest— The loving are the daring.” ( 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 riage in Philadelphia concluded with the 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. was for trnth and veracity, said : “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- FINE SHOES!
