SONG.
iHKIE BOBEBXEOS HOXON.
Tbil autumn moon will rlia, love,
On hills os fair os these;
And other tearful eyes;low,
Will uratch her o er the aeas.
But in one chamber lonely,,_
Her mellow leaves will fell»
Where 1 am dreamlng'only
Of day* beyond recell.
I hear the soft winds sighing.
The birds hare gone to sleep;
I know the flowers are dying.
While this sad wotoh I Keep.
The music of the leaves, dear,
Is growing faint and low;
The swallows in the eaves, dear,
Must soon be gone I know.
And will another year, love,
The year that is to be,
Be half so sweet and dear, love.
As this old year to me*
So fall of sunshine and of birds,
Of roses flushed and tall;
Of whispered love andjtender words,
Or must I lose thorn all ?
I know the spring is coming.
When snows have left the hill;
The bees will soon be bumming—
I wonder If they willT
And shall the same moon rise, love,
And in my chamber Bhlne;
And soe my hopeful eyes, love,
daze trustfully in thine?
It is so strange to feel, dear,
That change might come to me;
That destiny might steal, dear,
My joy eternally.
I should not hear tho robin sing.
When June had come once more;
If to my heart in happy spring.
Thou cornet not as before.
A CORNER IN KISSES.
“Kiss me Will,” sang Marguerite,
To a pretty little tane,
Bolding up hes pretty month,
Sweet as roses born in June.
Will was ten years old that day,
ADd lie pulled her golden curls
Teasingly, and answer made—
• I'm too old -I don’t kiss girls.”
T, n years ( h's, and Marguerite
Smiles as Will kneels at her feet,
(lazing fondly in her eyes.
l’rayiug, ‘‘Won’t you kiss me, sweet?”
ltlte is seieuteen to-day;
With birthday ring she toys
For a moment, then replies—
“I’m too old—I don’t kiss boys.”
Shorter Walking Dresses for La
dles.
[From tho >’. Y. Evening Post.]
A very great majority of American wo
men have found out the desirableness of
having shorter dresses for the Btreet,'and
would welcome any dictate of known
good authority which should bring in the
new fashion. The exceedingly tastefnl
designs of Rodrigues, a rival of Worth
and Pingat, whose exquisite designs were
much brought into notioe last spring in
the beautifnl room devoted by A. T.
Stewart to the exhibition of oostnmeB,
have sent to them models of these new
short walking dresses, and it is predicted
that they will be very much patronized
by ladies who have only been waiting for
the fashion to be set. The models shown
are not so short all around as to show
the feet, but eschew those long trains
holding up of which is scarcely less ob
jectionable than the trailing them through
mire and dirt They are finished with
jackets in the Henry IV. or Basque coun
try style, and some have small triple
ospes to them. They are in chenille
cloth of dark brown. Other excellent
models are shown in the new mixture of
velvet, satiu and silk. A mouse-colored
velvet, with overdress in coat shape with
long side tabs, has a stomacher of velvet
set in, trimmed with braiding in deeper
BbadeB. Another dress in slate-colored
velvet has a “pelisse” cut into the figure;
the trimmings are in chenille and gilt
cord, and another in black velvet has a
mulberry overdress of matelasse. The
peculiar trimmings of these velvet dress-
os consists in satin puffiogs on the
skirts. The combinations in color, ma
terial and design are so numberless as to
offer attractions to all and all are aitistio.
With this style models .are shown for
carriage dresses or reception dresses in
tho same materials with trains; one in
that shade of mazarine bine, which has
rejppoared among this season’s colors, is
of velvet, trained, with overdress of the
same; the waist has the Swiss plastron,
which has taken the place of the Breton
front; and the elbow sleeve of velvet is
buttoned up the back, with the three low.
er buttons left unfastened to allow the
light blua silk sleeve to emerge from it
Another of these elegant carriage dresses
has wide side plaitings on the lower dress
these wide plaitings being available in
several models, with an overdress of
matelasse; the jacket is made with long,
square tabs, and is edged, as are the over
dress, the cuffs and collar, with bands of
silver fox.
A House of Our Own.
Next to being married to the right per
son, there is nothing so important in
one s life, as to live under one’s own
roof. There is something more than a
poetical charm in the expression of a
wife writing to a friend, who said. “We
have onr cosy house; it is thrice dear to
us because it is our own. We have
bought it with the savings of our earn
ings. Many were the soda fountains, the
confectionery Baloons, and the necessa
ries of the market we had to pass; many
a time my noble husband denied himself
the comfort of tobacco, the refreshing
draught of beer, wore his old clothes, and
even patched-up boots; and I, O me!
made my old bonnet do, wore the plain
est clothes, did the plainest cooking.
Savings was the order of the house, and
to have a home of our own had been our
united aim. Now we have what we want,
there is no landlord troubling us with
raising the rent, and exacting this or
that. There is no fear harbored in oqt
bosom that in sickness or old age we will
be thrown out of house and home, and
the money which otherwise would have
gone to pay rent is sufficient to keep us
comfortable in the winter days of life.”
The Belle of Newport.
The Newport belle this year has been
the charming Lady Sykes, wife of Sir
Tatton Sykes. The Sykeses and the Yon
Hoffmans have been, and still are at this
present writing, the centre of attraction
at tho Ocean house. Mrs. Von Hoffman
(nee Grimes), a sister of the late Mrs.
Sam W ard, has long been known in New
lork fashionable society, while her hus
band, the great Germanjbanker, is equal
ly well known in the financial world.
SirTatton Sjkes—about 60 years old,
though looking much younger—enjoys an
income of §50,000 per annum. He wed
ded not long ago a ycung lady of 20, the
aisterof Mr. Cavendish Bentinck, who is
likewise passing the summer here. Lady
Sykes created a great furore in London
eociely when she made her debut. Bless
ed with beauty, cleverness, tact an ener
gy, she is one of those rare women who
do everything well. She swims, rides,
drives, shoots, dances, walks, talks,dress
es, and plays lawn tennis to perfection.
At 0 o clock in the morning she begins
the day a amusements by plunging into
the surf and swimming a mile or so out to
■ea. Lots of people go down to the
bathing beach at this early hour to wit
ness these daring aquatic performances.
No Newport entertainment is perfeot
without Lady Sykes, and as she has a vim,
snap, and go which may be equalled, but
cannot be excelled, there are few enter
tainments she does not honor with her
presence. In London Lady Sykes is t
reigning belle in the nltra fashionable
set, and was greatly distinguished by the
To be happy at home h tho ultimate
result of all ambition—the end to which
every enterprise and labor tends—and of
which every desire prompts the prosecu
tion. It is, indeed, at home that every
man must be known by those who would
make a just estimate either of his virtue
or felioity; for smiles and embroidery are
alik occasional; and the mind is often
dressed for show in painted honor and
fiotitious benevolence.
A prisoner in a Louisiana jail patiently
feigned paralysis for three months so as
to get a ohance to escape; and when th e
opportunity came, in the language of the
local newspaper, “he was off like a tele
gram.”
—Jordan L. had a recipe of his own to
prevent being exposed to the night air.
“I was very ill,” be said, “some months
ago, and my doctor gave me particular
orders not to expose myself to it; so I
come np every day to Gabe Case’s or some
other house to dinner, and I make it a
rale on no aocount to go home again till
about four or five o’clock iu the morn
ing.”
—A proud father in Eighteenth street
haa been questioning bis son, who hes
just graduated from a private school, and
Bays the boy answers four questions out
of five correctly in every branch of his
studies. To four questions out of five
the boy says, “I don’t know;” and this
answer is always a true one. When he
hazards any other it is apt to be wrong.
—Asparagus is like most sermons. It
is the end of it that people enjoy moBt.
—Actors, like Arabs, previous to taking
the road, invariably prepare their dates.
—A father of a two-weeks-old baby
calls it “Ma’s newly discovered satellite.”
—Age makes ns tolerant; I never see a
fault which I did not oommit.
—Why is paper money more valuable
than gold? When you put it in your
pocket you double it, and when you take
it out find it still in creases.
—Which is the oddest fellow, the one
who asks a question, or the one who an
swers? The one who asks, because be is
the querist.
—What metamorphosis does a laun
dress undergo during the night? She
goes to bed a washerwoman, and in the
morning gets up fine linen.
—The young Texan doesn’t tell you
his sweetheart is sweet as sugar, but says
“0! she’ll do to put in coffee!”
—An Irishman tolls us of a fight in
which there was only one whole nose left
in the crowd, “and that belonged to the
tay-kettle.”
—Stage manager (to call-boy:) “John,
see if the ballets are all dressed.” John
(returning): “Yes, sir, about ready; they
have nearly got their olothes off. ”
—The Rev. George Bull baptized forty
persons by immersion iu twenty-seven
minutes in Savannah, and ho is eighty
years old, too. He is a “star” baptizar—
in fact, a Great Dipper.
—A young lady in town, who does not
pride herself particularly ou being a po
litical economist, thinks the sooner green
baoks reach “pa” the sooner she’ll be
able to invest in a new fall bonnet.
—A while ago a party of lynchers
down Sonth postponed the banging five
minutes to allow the victim time to finish
smoking a cigar. This proves that the
use of tobacco prolongs life.
—What kind of letters does a grocer
deal in? Well, he deals in Ts, Y Ns,
crack Rs, match Ss, sometimes B Ns and
Ps, and grocer Es of all kinds.
—A model wife. She never wasted a
solitary thing. Let a cat die around our
house, Bud the first thing you know Mary
Jane’d have a muff and a set of furs, and
I’d begin to find mince pies on the dinner
table.
—The life insurance agent and the
lightning rod man have struck hands iu
partnership, and are now going about th,e
country inveigling the farmers into hav
ing their cows insured against lightning.
—A judge, joking a young lawyer,
said: “If you and I were turned into a
horse and ass, whioh would you prefer to
be?” The young lawyer replied: “The
ass, by all means, for I’ve heard of an
ass being a judge; but a horse, never. ”
—A young gentleman of Kilkenny,
meeting a handsome milk-maid near the
parade, said: “What will yon take for
yourself and your milk, my dear?” The
girl instantly replied: “Yourself and a
gold ring, sir.”
—“We are going to have a hard win
ter,” said Charley White the other night.
Tough times ahead, I tell you; that is
more than ever apparent.” “Alas!’’said
Mr. Fellows, “so am L” “So are you
what?” “More than ever a parent; it
happened last week.”
—A Connecticut dentist has got hold
of a composition whereby he can make
teeth at a cost of fifty cents a set. This
will enable the female wearer of false
teeth to have a set to match every suit she
h»a, both in color and design—with pink
goods, pink teeth; with stripsd goods,
striped teeth, and so on.
—A woman appeared in the cotut of

—“My dear boy,” said a mother to her
sou, as be handed ronnd his plate for
more turkey, “that is the fourth time
you’ve been helped.” “I know it, moth
er,” replied the boy, “but that turkey
pecked at me once, and I want to get
square with him.” He got his turkey.
—“How would you make a believer of
an inoredulous man?” asked one gentle
man of another not long since. “I think
the surest way would be to set him over
a beehive;” was the reply; “and I calcu
late that after he’d been stung once or
twice he would become a bee leaver iu
earnest.
—A school board inspector asked a
Btnftil pupil of what the surface of the
earth oonsists, and was promptly answer

impressed on the boy’s mind, and asked:
“What then do land and water make?”
To whioh came the immediate response:
“Mud.”
—A couple of years ago, at one of the
