Resplendent o'er thine airy home
Arose the sky's majestic dome—
llad never king upon the throne
Such canopy!
The blisg divineof sun and moon,
stars, and song, and fragrant bloom.
Was given to thee.
Airtblew from east, or blew from west,
Sudden the wanton whirling blast.
Thy trembling tender form to wrest
From its frail hold,
h- 8 child a father would
Ahe oakthe tempest's wrath withstood,
And held thee and thy sisterhood
Safe in the fold.
So pure, so gay, so fair a sprite!
Born of the season of delight.
With all the winsome grace bedight
it could bestow —
Ah! who that saw thee in thy prime.
Thought of the fate that would be thine,
And t hat the deadly hand of Time
Would lay thee low?
How short thy life—how soon decay
Its Iightand beauty swept away,
'‘To dumb forgetfulness a prey’
Forevermore!
Thy dust, blown by the whistling wind,
In the cold earth will burial find
With myriad mUlionsof thy kind,
Long gone before.
A wind-blown, worthless thing—and yet
More costly than acoronet.
To him who in his heart shall set,
The golden thought, T
Which, like a precious jewel, lies
Reneath thy perishing disguise—
The magic stone the worldly-wise
So losg fcavesought.
Like thine our youth is fresh and green;

The sky is bright with wondrous sheen,
Our path with flowers;
W hat sp 1 endor ci rcles our estate !
How leaps the heart, with hope elate!
How little dowedream of fate,
And wintry hours!
Rut well thou tellest, little leaf.
Life's pride is vain, its glory brief;'
Cold blow the whirling blasts of grief,
And lay us low;
Death comes to palace and to cot,
Ourdestwill share the common lot,
And oh! bow soon it is forgot
Heneath the snow!
Learn from the lesson of the leaf
That death is sure, that life is brief;
And foolish he wtiose ear is deaf,
And hath not caught
With subtile sense the solemn sound.
The perfect harmony profound.
That guides through nature, round by round,
The soul to God.

Fashion Gossip From Paris*
Augustine writing from Paris in the last Lon
don Truth says;
At the ceremony of the distribution of prizes
In the Champs Elysees, and at the concerts this
week at the Trocadero, I have noticed a few
novelties in dress. The different red tints and
bine and green colors in all shades are great fa
vorites, and plush, watered silk and satin are
most fashionable for elegant dresses. Waist
coats, which are very mneb worn, are now often
made in velours cotele, a kind of striped ribbed
silk velvet on a satin ground; this handsome,
rich-looking novelty is also in groat vogue for
trimming dresses and mantles, and as the prioe
of velours cotele, like plush, is rather high, it
will not very soon become common. This new
material is sometimes made in two colors; for
instance, bine velvet stripes on green satin
ground, caroubier red on gold ground, or sol
dier’s bine on Egyptian red satin.
At yesterday's concert one of the most elegant
costumes was a myrtle-green plush, princesse
shape, over a satin skirt of the new willow-leaf
gray-green oolor. I also notioed a dress of sap
phire-bine cashmere; the skirt was round at the
bottom, with a flat, draped flonnee. The second
skirt, drawn up at the sides, was bordered by a
flat trimming of velonrs ootele sapphire-bine
velvet on light-green satin ground; the waist
coat was of the same velonrs cotele. These
dresses were made a little falter at the hips than
a few weeks ago. At the balls last week at Yer-
sailles, and at the Ministry of Agriculture it
was impossible to see anything of the drosses on
account of the crowded rooms, bat at the ball
given at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs I saw a
great many pretty dresses; they were mostly of
the close-fitting fourreau shape, and and gener
ally white, pink, bine, and light-green satin.-
trimmed with lace. One novelty, rich and ele
gant-looking, was a pale pink brooade, with fig
ured pattern of silver and gold; the boddioe was
enirasse shaped, trimmed with blaok crepe liBse
and blaok laoe. I also observed a close-fitting
fourreau dress in sapphire bine satin, opening
over a skirt of pale lemon-oolored satin, which
was richly embroidered with small bouquets
and garlands of flowers; the bodioe was half-
low, en ooenr, or heart shape; the lady wore a
triple necklace of pearls her head-dress being a
net of pearls.
Tartans are certainly still much worn for
walking dresses, bat I consider they will not
long be fashionable; cashmeres and other plain
woollens aud cloth will be oertainly _mnoh used
for the winter. A great many nsefal j tokets and
paletots are made mnoh in the style of gentle
men's overooats of the last century, and the
pockets and oollars are either of the same mate
rial as the jaoket or trim ned with plash or ve
lours cotele, to matoh the shade of the garment
These j acketa are often blaok, the other chief
colors being bine, green and drab or plum-color;
the buttons are bone,wood, bine steel or nickel.
In fanoy jewelry the newest thing is a cross,
said to be a copy of one worn by the Psinoess of
Wales. There is also a ring oalled the engage
ment ring, oopiei frem a Danish antique; it is a
double spiral cord ring, with open ends, like
the fashionable bracelets; it is oalled the Born
holm ring. The newest Porte-bonhnr bracelet
is 00m posed of three rings ohainei together one
ring is made with opals, and one with tarq noise
nd the other with rabies.

ChoAsins a Wet Nnrsc -Diet an«l
HrinIts of ftursiug Women.
How to Oioosca Wet-Nurse — A wet
nurse should be in the prime of life, and free
from every taint of disease, inherited or acquir
ed. No secretion is more influenced by the men
tal and bodily condition than the milk. Hence,
it is verv important that mothers and wet-nnrs-
e3 should have good health.
The mental and moral characteristics of a wet-
nurse are but little less important than her phy
sical condition. She should be mild and agree
able in her disposition, with an inexhaustible
stock of patience. It is a well-established fact
that anger, fretfnlness, envy and all depressing
passions, not only diminish the quantity of
milk secreted, bat actually change its charac
ter, converting it from the most mild and whole
some of nutriments into an irritative poison,
oapable of causing convulsions, bowel affections,
colics, and other most serious disorders. Med
ical works abonnd in examples of this kind. Dr.
Bedford tells ns of an nnfortnnats woman who
lost her husband at sea, which so effected the se
cretion of milk as to canse a diarrhea in her
child which could be controlled only by a change
of nourishment; and so soon as this change was
made, the little patient recovered with little or
no medicine. Numberless instances could be
added and where children have not only been
thus affected with disease, but have been seized
with convulsions and suddenly died from taking
the milk of a mother or nnrse when the secre
tion was deranged from some strong mental emo
tion.
It is oommonly insisted by medical writers
that the obild of a wet-nurse should be near the
same age of her foster child. While this may
be worthy of consideration, I think nndne im
portance is attached to it; and I am sure that it
is a matter of small weight,when compared with
the moral and physical condition of the nnrse.
Diet ami Drink* of Nursing W o
men—The diet of nursing women should con
sist of wholesome, nutritions food, plainly cook
ed, and eaten in moderate quantities. To be
more specific—it shonld be composed mainly of
nourishing animal soaps, milk, rioe, bread,ripe
frnits, boiled or baked mntton or beef, eto., ex
cluding all highly seasoned dishes, rich gravies,
fat pork, salt baoon, pastries, acid and unripe
frnits, piokles, and snch like.
Mothers and wet-nurses are much given to in
dulgence in the free nse of meat, and the stron
gest kind of food because as they say, ‘they have
to eat for two.’ Henoe, nurses who have never
enjoyed the luxuries of life in too great abun
dance, are very apt to take advantage of this idea
and to make it a license for the gratification of
a gluttonous appetite, and for a troublesome fas
tidiousness with regard to their diet
Such a coarse, on the part either of mothers
or nurses, is highly inj urious to their own
health, and destructive in its effects on the in
fant It is only the food which is digested
and taken np into the blood that goes to
nonrish the nurse or child; and all that
is not digested and taken up into the
circulation must, to some extent, oppress the
stomach, causing in many cases colic, diarrhcei,
headache, and general derangement of ’”«alth,
and consequent impairment of the quai .y or
quality of the milk, and often of both. ..ce, or
at most twice a day, is often enough f > ..ny w>
man who does not lead an active 1 .to take
meat; and this, together with eve uiug 'else
should be eaten in moderate n atity—just
enough to satisfy a natural, reas .ole, health
ful appetite—such an appetite a.-, nature will
give to all nursing women who live right, and
who are gnided by the plain teachings of physi
ology and common sense, instead of the absurd
notion of “eating for two," and “the more we
eat, the fatter and more vigorous we become,”
etc., etc. As a geueral rule, vegetables should
be the principal diet of nursing women, as of all
others who do not take active exercise. But
there are some vegetables, snch as potatoes, tur
nips, peas, etc., that givs rise to flatulency in
nurses and children; and when it is fonnd from
experience (our only safe guide in snch things)
that snch is the case, all articles of diet so of
fending should be left off. The most proper
drinks for nnrsing women are water, pare sim
ple water; chocolate, if it agrees; hot water tea;
and milk, which may be regarded as both food
and drink. The habit of resorting to tea, coffee,
wines, cordials, lager beer, and other stimulating
drinks, under the mistaken notion that they in
crease the milk and impart strength, is often in
jurious to the health of nurse and child. Stim
ulants can never give nor increase strength; and
though some of them may canse a temporary
increase in the milk and other secretions, the
excitement resulting from them is nnhealthfnl,
the effects are transient and unnatural, and the
consequences of their nse—except in some ex
ceptional cases of disease—are evil.
The Diet in Health.
The following is lrom the pen of Dr. J. Dick
son Smith, of this city:
Nature speaks her own significant langnaga
when she calls lor food. All animate nature re
quires it for growth aud development, and for
the maintai aance of physical existence. The
same necessity exists with man, with the addi
tional requirement of greater variety and spe
cial aliment for developing and invigorating his
brafn powers. However important the air we
breathe and the water we drink, yet, the great
indispensable fnnotion of life is nutrition, and
alimentation the source of this life-preserving
element Withhold food from man, and despite
the presiding agenqg of that mysterious power—
the vital principle, dissolution inevitably 00-
cars.
The physical organism reqnires nutriment,
sufficient in quantity and diversified in kind,
for supplying the requisite ohemioal elements
composing its several parts and tissues. Food
must famish the ohemioal salt* for the blood, ni
trogen for the muscles, phosphorus for the brain
and carbon lor the fat and animal heat. These
elements are all essential to life and health, and
mast be introduced into the system by alimen
tation and assimnlation. The whole system is
starved by total abstinence from all food; and
any particular part, tissue or fnnotion may suf
fer from inanition when its appropriate food is
withheld. Henoe, the inexorable necessity of
snch system of dimentation as will supply the
demands of nutrition for the whole organism.
Such is indispensable for the maintainanoe of
perfect physical health and mental vigor. A
sound mind and healthy body oan only be se
cured bv nutritious supplies sufficient and va
ried. Hanger, appetite and taste are designed
to govern dietitios, and are inadequate to their
office.
The healthiest and most vigorous persons
have been good feeders. It is a glaring misfeke
that an exoesB of ingesta over th6 absolute wants
of the eoonomy most neoessarially prove burtfnL
N it arc makes provision for the disposition of an
over-pins, bat none against a deficiency of ali-
men . P'-sneptio disorders oftener result from
abstemiousness of diet than from excessive eat
ing. It has been true that persons in high life,
fanatically zealous upon the subjact of light diet
have been tbs most frequent sufferers from dys
pepsia and its retinue of morbid consequences,
while snch disorders are comparatively rare
amongst those who, without thinking of dietitios
or digestion, satisfy the appetite with the food
placed before them. These dietetio amateurs
or self starvers favor, in no small degree, the
development of other and graver affections, by
impairing the tone of health, and lowering the
vital powers. One of the plainest ediots of na
ture enjoins the necessity of keeping the nutri
tion of th c body as near as possible up to the
healthy stmdard, in order to secure immunity
from c ise.ise, as well as the securing of the high
est grade^f comfort and enjeyment.
Not^uiy should the diet be liberal, with due
adm iitnrs of animal and vegetable articles, bnt
it should be made appetizing by proper season
ing and gcod cooking; and injvstod with snch
deliberation as will allow thorough mastication
and insalivation. Gluttonous haste in eating is
condeomable, and affixes its own penalty. Meals
should be taken leisurely and with gusto—ap
petite and taste being the guides as to quantity
and character of the food taken. Instinct speaks
for nature, and impresses upon every animal
what it may, and what it may not eat Hanger
in man expresses the wants of the system, while
appetite and taste designate the kind of food re
quired; and in eating, it is a safe general rule to
heed the dictates of these instinctive guides,
both as to quality and quantity of aliment tak
en.
These trnths and imperative injunctions of
nature, now appreciated by the van of the med
ical profession, and by those of popular sooiety
who take a common sense view of the rationale
of life, are yet not reoognized by the popular
sentiment of the age. Not a few fancy that they
promote the wellfare of body and mind by hab
its or rales of dieting which are incompatible
with the highest degree of mental ^nd physical
vigor; and there are physician who sanction
snch violations of the laws of nature. Many
pe rsons with appetizing dishes before them, re
frain from eating heartily—foolishly adhering
to that traditional and absurd old maxim: ‘al
ways rise from the table hungry.’ Better, in
finitely better to seasonably gratify the appetite.
Too many of the fair sex are inclined ts consid
er it ‘gross and unrefined,’ and a lady-like ac
complishment to have a delicate appetite, and
abstain from the more substantial artioles of
food. So fanatical has been this notion and
abstemionsnes in dieting, that fashionable
boarding sohoola have enj Dined suoh dietitic re
strictions as may raadiiy explain much of the
imperfect development, feebleness of constitu
tion, and general bad health now existing
amongst wives and mothers. Many long doc
tor’s bills are to be placed to the credit cf these
erroneous views and practices; and mnoh of the
mortnary lists of the day are alike attributable
to popular and fashionable starvation.
There is still, therefore a very large scope for
progress and improvement to meet the require
ments of existing knowledge f the laws of
health.
The intelligence of this advan «d age calls
clamorously upon instinct to assert its rightful
supremacy; and upon man to ally himself with
the attributes of nature in triumphing over,and
subverting all each nonsensical and absurd
ideas as teach man to starve himself in order to
live.
A PROBLEM LONG SINCE SOLVED.
How 10 remedy those prolific causes of disease, an
impoverished circulation and an impaired diges
tion, was a problem the solution of which had often
battled medical skill, but which was solved over a
quarter of a century ago by the introductian of
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters to public aud profes
sional notice. Since that time, which may well be
said to have initiated a new epoch in the history of
medicine, the remedy and preventive referred to
has obtained a foothold in the eoi h-ienec of the
American people that each succeeding year has
only served to strengthen, it is recognized through
out the Union as a ton c of the first order, a remedy
for and sure means of preventing fever and ague,
and disorders of the stomach and bowels; asareli-
able means of reforming a disordered slate of tlie
liver, and of counteracting a temieney to rheuma
tism, gout, urinary and uterine'jt ;rders.
Tlie Physiollsy of IMf Liver.
The liver is the largest secreting yrgan in the human
body, and the bile which it secretes is more liable to
vitiation aiul misdirection from its proper channels than
a'iy other of the animal fluids. Luckily for the billions
however, there is an unfailing source of relief from com
plaint, namely. Hostetler's Stomach Bitters, a medicine
which for over a quarter of a century has been achieving
thorough cures of the above mentioned ailm -uts ,
and ague, dyspepsia, bowel comp'aints, rheumadc and
kidney affections, and disorders iuvol .iug loss of nervous
vigor, it is, moreover, a preventive > 1 malaria disease,
and affords protection to thousands of p-rsous r- aiding
in districts of country where that dire scourge is preva
lent. As a remedy adapted to themedici al requireme .t
of families, it is supremely desirable, and as a means oi
fortifying a debilitated system, it is thoroughly to be de
pended upon.
Knabe’a Pianos in London.
A representative of the ce’ebrated music house of Met-
zler 4 Co., of Great Marlborough sli eet. Loudon, ha* been
visiting Baltimore for the purpose of entering into busi
ness relations with the pi ino ma-iuractu-iug tinn of
Wm. Knabe & Co., with a view of introducing their in
struments to a larger extent into Eugland, Irel md, Scot
land and Wales, where, it seams, they nave Deeu known
for some time. This proposition, coming unsolicited,
was a gratifying surprise to Knabe & 1 o., especial!) as
the inducements offered were very lib ra'. and the prefer
ence snowu their firm was a consideration so important
as not to be overlooked. Arrangements of the most sat
isfactori-character were entered into, Messrs. Metzler 4
Co., becoming Knabe 4 Co.’s agents for all of Great Brit
ain. Indepeude t of this relationship, however, the Lon
don firm, through their rep resen lautve made extensive
purchases of Messrs. Knabe 4 Co. to fill orders they had
already received, and a large shipment of upright ana
grand pianos was made this week, to be followed shortly
by others, indicating an extensive business in the future.
Such are the changes of a few years. Sending musical
instruments to London seems almost like sending coals
to Newcashhcbutin this case the excellence of the Knabe
pianos, hiw attracted the attention of European mu
sical judges, a growing demand haa sprung np for them
there.

AN ACQUISITION.
Since its virtues have been utilized by Dr. Tabler
as a permanent cure for piles, the Buckeye, now so
abundant in our native forests, has become of al
most as much importance in the medical world as
Cinchona, or Peruvian bark, of South America.—
Fortudately the medical properties are in the fruit,
and not the bark ; hence the trees will not be de
stroyed, but will stand many years to yield an
abundant supply, and we may regard Tabler,s
Buckeye Pile Ointment as a permanent remedy.
