PENITENTIAL HYMN,
As Mnry knelt, and dropped her tears,
So, gracious Lord,. would we;
And pour the ointment. of our harts,
Our choicest love, on Thee.
Oh ! the sweet joys'of penitence!
We trust Thee, and adore:
We wonder at Thy gracious word,
" Arise; and sin no more."
Thciu dost'forget our sinful past,
non tiikest off thestain;
'Bullied in the ocean of Thy love,
— ,Our souls are pure again.
We come with sad, confessing lips,
.For thy forgiving toinch;
And Thou dost thrill us with the words, ; .
That we' hate loved+Thee much. ,
We raise our tearful eyes to Thee,
And meet Th,y spklke divjn.k.
Where shall • Weloolp,.o , pityin el k Christ!

DRESSING AT SARATOGA.
A correspondent of The N. Y. Tribune, at this
fashionable watering-place, 'writes:
In the afternoon the people of fashion made
their appearance upon the hotel piazzas. They
—that is the female portion of them—shone
gloriously. The blaze of golden armlets, the
glitter ,of diamonds, and the glare of white
dresses of rare texture, marked' them all as
people of note ; but I confess to hiving never
heard of one of them before. I almost Test the
consequences of the remark, but 'I shall risk ,the
assertion that, there is 'less good' taste in ,dress
'displayed by the lady visitors here than by an
equal number at any otherprothinent resort you
may' name. Thai profusion 'of top-dressing' is
absurd almost to. disgust; their show of paste
