Tell rue now in what hidden way is Lady Flora the lovely Roman ? Where's Ilipparchia, and where is Thais, Neither of them the fairer woman ' Where is Echo, beheld of no man. Only heard on river and mere She whose beauty was more than hnman 'i Bat where are the snows of yester-year ? Where's Heloise, the learned nan, For whose sake Abeillard, I ween, Lost manhood and put priesthood on ? (From Love he won such dule and teen ! ) And where, I pray yon, is the Queen Who willed that Bnridan should steer Sewed in a sack's month down the Seine?... But where are the snows of yester-year ? White Queen Blanche, like a queen of lilies, With a voice like any mermaiden Bertha Broadfoot, Beatrice, Alice, And Ermengarde the lady of Maine And that good Joan whom Englishmen At Ronen doomed and burned her there Mother of God, where are they then ? Bat where are the snows of yester-year ? Nay, never ask this week, fair lord, Where they are gone, nor yet this year, Except with this for an overword But where are the snows of yester-year ? JOHN OF TOURS. (Old French.) John of Tours is back with peace, But he comes home ill at ease. "Good morrow, mother." "Good morrow,son; Your wife has borne you a little one." "Go now, mother, go before, Make me a bed upon the floor; "Very low your foot must fall, That my wife hear not at all." As it D eared the midnight toll, John of Tours gave np his soul. "Tell me now, my mother my dear, What's the crying that I hear?" ."Daughter, the children are awake, Crying with their teeth that ache." "Tell me though, my mother my dear, What's the knocking that I hear?" "Daughter, it's the carpenter Mending planks upon the stair." "Tell me too, my mother my dear, What's the singing that I hear?" "Daughter, it's the priests in rows Going round about our house." "Tell me then, my mother my dear, What's the dress that I should wear?" "Daughter, any reds or blues, But the black is most in use." "Nay, but say, my mother my dear, It's that John of Tours is dead." "Mother, let the sexton know That the grave must be for two; "Ay, and still have room to spore, For yon must shut the baby there." A Sunday in New York. From the London Saturday Review. We are informed by the New" York Herald that "the new editor of the Oberlin (Ohio) JVeics has issued a salutatory, brief but to the point, lie says: 'We come here to make money and a readable paper.' " The "salu tatory" of journals which hope to succeed and of journals which do succeed, and the valedictory of journals which fail, might, we conceive, as in Oberlin so in jjonaon, do reduced to the terse formulary of our Ohio contemporary., But if we come to reduce the statement to logical form the proposition does not admit of simple conversion. All that is readable makes mpney, but we are hardly prepared to admit that all that makes money is readable. We have no doubt, for exam ple, that Mr. Charles Dickens' later novels, and his readings, now brought positively for the last time to a final farewell, make money, but we should be sorry to pronounce the stories readable or the elocution tolerable. The New York Herald itself by all accounts makes money, but its "readability," to use a probatle phrase of its elegant writers, must depend upon public taste. Among many specialties of this re markable paper, and it seems to be an invention of its own, is giving on Monday twelve columns of reports of the various sermons preached and services held at the different churches and meeting-houses, tabernacles, conventicles, theatres, and music-halls in New York and Brooklyn. The reporters and penny-a-liners we beg pardon, the journalists engaged on the New York Herald, like their British brethren, must turn their hands to everything, and we seem to detect the same fine Italian hand in the re ports of New York religion and Washington pleasures. A " Jam at the White House" and "the Gossips of Grace Church and the Beauties of Fashionable Wor ship and Lovely Ladies as Aids to Devotion" have the same unmistakable flavor of Jenkins, just as we find a British chiffonnier of litera ture adopting the same style of word-painting to the details of a burlesque and to the (Ecumenical Council. We note the faot be cause, in the impending Americanizing of all our institutions threatened or promised by Mr. Bright, we shall probably some day find in our Monday's newspapers copious and per sonal reports of the sermons and dresses ex hibited at the London churches on Sunday morning. We have already advanced a Btep towards this desirable consummation. Al ready the Saturday papers, or some of them, give us a prelibation of the banquet about to be spread next day by our spiritual pastors and masters, and from tho increasing length of the announcements made by ecclesiastical touters of the "Preachers in the London churches to-morrow" we conjeo ture that the churches and the seots alike are getting folly aware of the advantages of ad vertising. But, as in the case of theatres and other popular exhibitions, anticipatory adver tisements ought to find their correlation in rrilichl reports. A play or a burlesque is ad vertiwvl and then criticized. It it only fair, if ftcrvicea and sermons ere advertised, that tlwy should be reported. The Now York Htrtdd is more logical than the 1'all Midi (Jatttte find the lilolic. The difllcnlty, and by a little practice it may be got over, is in getting penuy-a-liners to go to chnrch or rather, when they have got to chnrch, in getting "journalists" who (ire sufficiently acute not to display their en tiro ignorance of a novel subject. Just as the typical flunkey of the jest-book hoped that it would be connidcred in his wages if he was to be required to attend family prayers, so we truRt that the penny a line has been raised to twopence in the case of the gentlemen of the press who are required by the New York Herald to go to church on Sunday and afterwnrds write out their experiences of this unusual exercise. At present we should say, judging from the reports in the New York Herald of February L'K, that the reporters have not yet quite settled to their work. Theological and ecclesiological technology hardly comes, like rending and writing, by nature; and we remember some cases in this field of disquisition among ourselves where "able editors" and accurate sub-editors have committed their journals to queer blun ders in unfamiliar matters. xears ago the limes inserted a report, communi cated by some expert, of some choice ecclesiastical celebration in which the writer dsscribed the altar of a new church or college as elevated on a "foot-paoe," the recognized phrase for a step. This was printed in the 'livxe as a "foot-pan." The New York Herald has not pernors committed so good a joke as tins, but its Kengious nummary shows here end there the lucubrations of tyros in church- going. It used to be said of a de ceased bisnop. wno naa acquired a knack of looking very nnctuons and religious In church, that he always joined in the Lord's Prayer as though it were a decided novelty which he had met with for the first time. The journalist who does Graee Church for the Herald may be pardoned for his cushina and enthusiastic language, seeing that "the strikingly impres sive effect" of which he saw and heard, was decidedly the same sort of impression which is made upon ns by our hrst pantomime. The picture is drawn by a novice in religious, bnt an expert in theatrical, enects: The softened holy light streaming through the multi-colored panes aud devices In glass, the wavy pearls of music, the deep and stately tones of the earnest preacher's voice, the delicate tracery In the Gothic roof, resting on high-reaching and moulded pillars, the maasive dark-stained and richly-furnished pews, the elegance of toilet and beauty of feature among the many fair worshippers, the air of real aDd calm and quiet contemplation, had alto gether a strikingly impressive effect. That is to say, the combination of the Beauty ot Holiness ana tne Holiness or Keauty had such an efl'ect upon the susceptible reporter that we are not altogether surprised at his conclusion: SittlDg on a softly cushioned seat near the centre aisle, midway between the chancel and the entrance, listening to the music, the ripple of responses from the congregation, and the full sonorous swell of the reader's voice, It was ditncult to feel otherwise than an impulse of sympathy with this order of Christian worship. Grace Church, we need hardly soy, is a very orthodox Episcopalian church; bat not an extreme one. And yet, if we may trust the reporter, some things are done there which would make even Mr. Purchas stare and gasp. We are informed that "after the splendid voice of Rev. Mr. Egbert had ceased to intone the lessons of the day, the tall form of the Itev. Dr. Potter rose in the pulpit." If in the use of New York the sermon follows the second lesson, and nothing follows the sermon, for such we are explicitly told was the case on this occasion, the New York Epis copalians can hardly complain of the length of their Sunday devotions. We felt curious to know how the more ad vanced school manages matters across the Atlantic; bnt we regret to say that the re porter on "St. Alban's Ritualistic- Church," evidently knowing nothing about the matter, skulks from his duty in language safe, but provokingly vague. We are only informed that The services are of the orthodox ritualistic order. The oitlciating clergymen are attired in ecclesiasti cal vestments, and are surrounded in their exercises by a throng of white-robed choristers. While tliu celebrant solemnly recites the prescribed passages the members of the congregation alternately bow and cross themselves In the responses, while addi tional tapers are lighted as the worship progresses. The impression made npon the gentlemen of the press by the Episcopalian churches seems to have been that of an assembly of lotus-eaters, a calm and dreamy Castle of In dolence, and a revival, if anything, of the Dutch governors of New York. The sec tarians are certainly more lively. At Ply mouth Church, bo the summary informs us: Mr. Beecher preached on the 'hourly preparation to meet God in the other life," and some of his hearers must have thought they had been rather delayed in this work by those gentlemen who stood at the door of the tabernacle, crying out, "Only pew-holders allowed to enter at present." Silently and with Christian resignation, we trust those un happy mortals who had been unable to bid for a pew, stood by while the elect, Boine of whom, we fear, imagined that they had paid a price for tho first consideration of the Lord, entered In silks and satins. These anxious supplicatory for iJiviue grace wern no sooner seated than some of them engaged in pious conversation about sociables and the price of gold. At the Church of the Messiah Unitarian a singing match was decided. The pastor's place was filled by a Boston clergyman, who Informed the congregation that he had heard much of tlielr siug lng, and desired to ascertain for himself if they could do as well as the congregation on "the Hub.'' Thus challenged, the worshippers struck up "Far from mortal cares retreating," with an energy and a lustiness that must have been gratifying to the chal lenger, and we pray acceptable to Him, etc The match was worthy of the metropolis. At the Lyric Hall, Mr. Frothinrjham, the person who assisted Mr. Beecher in the clini cal marriage of Richardson and tho woman McFarland, got into first principles and the high etymological latitudes, and also some what out of soundings. He delivered a "ser mon on religion, which word has three defi nitions one to 'read over,' one to 'bind again,' and the third to 'loosen.' " We are quite aware that Cicero is responsible for the first, and that Lactantius and others father the second derivation of the word. Bat that religion means a "releasing" is peculiar to Mr. Frothingham's dictionary, though not to his practice, seeing that in the ceremony aforesaid he considered the loosening of the marriage knot a very religious duty indeed. Were it not that to inculcate any duty is not in their way, and did we not detect a slight plagiarism of a certain Spartan practice, we should for liveliness reoommend to the conductors of the Sunday lectures at St. George's Hall the following American mode of spending Sunday evening: The usual temperance meeting, under tne auspices of the Kings County Temperance Association, was held at llooley's opera liouee last evening. The place was crowded to excess, aud the "end meu" got on several very amusing caricatures of Inebri ates to the delight of a decidedly "mixed" audience. If, as we have already hinted, the know ledge of the New York reporters is limited on religious matters, as in one case where we are informed that the sermon was on the text "Charity never fadetb," and in another where a verne, new to the authorized version, is quoted, "Thon didst not lead thy Holy One, to Fee corruption," the penny-a-liners are quite at home in their pictorial and personal estimate of New York church-going. The column which, in the New York Herald, immediately follows the Religious Sum mary is filled with an account of the "receptions and balls last week." The one column reads exactly like the other, and evidently proceeds from the same pen. At the White House we are told that the President's wife "wore a robe of ruby velvet, with her portly shoulders sub dued under a iichn of point d'Alencon," and that Mrs. Hamilton Fish "wore delicate mauve satin." At the churches the reporters are equally and in every sense at home. At Grace Church the "costumes of velvet and pliiHh jackets in brown and black were nume rous." "ltich and heavy velvets and flashing diamonds" are noticed at one church, while at another we are favored with a personal in troduction to "a young lady of nineteen, small but elegant in figure, with a com plexion of the purest pink, etc. etc., and attired in a silk dress draped with graceful flounces en pa hit r, a pink tie, and a pretty bean-catcher." In New York the Quakeresses seem to "comprise the wealth, beauty, and fashion of the city, and it might make Fox and Mrs. Fry tarn in their graves when told of the velvet and silks, satins and iris plumes of the doves. Bat they are run hard by the sable belles. In Zion Colored Church we find that "the congrega tion is decidedly well-dressed, and that a sub dued quietness prevails, which gave a very elegant tout ensemble; while deep purples and black velvets show to advantage a dark skin and pearly teeth, and that the costumes are heightened by diamond pins and ear-drops." To do them justice, the various pastors seem feel what the Bishop of Orleans calls the Un bridled Luxury of Women as a sort of chal lenge, and a good many of them preached against the feminine extravagance of the ege. One pulpit orator quoted some verses new to ns: What Is the reason, can you guess. That men are poor and women thinner? So much do they for dinner dress, That nothing's left to dress the dinner. Bnt, judging from our own experience, the women rather like these pastoral objurgations, J. hey treat a homily against fine clothes as a sort of "beau-catcher ' and advertisement of their own and their milliners' taste. We are not sure that there is not some understanding between the shepherds and the lambs of the flock, and that the ladies do not consider the pulpit reproof rather than in the light of a testimonial of their good taste ana skill in fashion. The writer of the Religious Summary of New York says that there were only two aristocratic chnrches in which the subject of female dress was not touched in the pulpit. We can only say in conclusion that we almost, when it is too late, begin to repent of giving this picture of Sunday in New York. What if the satire should prove an inducement and the beacon be taken for an attraction? We may yet live to see a new fietas Londiniensis edited by the compiler of the Court Circular and tne reporters or tne Morning rost. Ana as at New York weare informed that "ex-Health Commissioner Crane, and Mr. Chaancey, President of the Mechanics' Bank," said their prayers, or listened to somebody elses prayers, at Trinity, iirooklyn, while "Airs Commodore Vanderbilt and her mother, Mrs. Crauford, with others of equal prominence, 'V honored Almighty God and Dr. Deems with their company at "the Church of the Strangers" we should have been glad of some informa tion abont the fashionable congregation who assembled at the parti-colored striped brick "church edifice" in New York commonly known as the Church of the lloly Zebra we are not without serious apprehensions that the day is not distant when the dresses and devotions of the Sunday visitors to the Bel- gravian churches will be as fully reported in the London newspapers as the victims of those much duller entertainments, Belgravian receptions. Oxford. From which point did I first see my dream city? Well, it matters little, for there is no good point of approach to Oxford now. You used to enter, I believe, by the coaoh, over Magdalen bridge, and for a long time, as yon came, you could see the gray and ancient towers and spires appearing out of the ram part of groves and gardens which skirt the city. Green meadows stretched, somewhat Hat, about your road, but your absorbed mind was fixed on the stately panorama which stretched before you. There was nothing to take your attention away from it, nothing to jar the harmony with which your mind was preparing itself for the first visit to the au gust university. It is not so now. This en trance is nearly spoiled by the crowding growth of new red brick cottages that has sprung np about the town since the building of the railway. True, they cannot altogether spoil, although they do greatly mar, the effect of Oxford seen as you approach it for the first time. The tall towers and spires look out grandly into the distance, above the ring of upstart little huts, and gather their gardens round them, and fold their feet in their trees. There you see them Magdalene, St. Mary's, Merton, venerable, gray, and calm, seeming wrapped in their own abstraction from the hurry of our petty life, the noisy trains, tho fussy engines, the long stations, and the mushroom growth that surrounds them. They look out straight into the distance, and perhaps from their height do not see, or scarcely notice the impudent and glaringly new pigmy gathering at thoir feet. Many, very many years can they oount since their foundations were laid, and these many years have thus softened their tone and hushed their new stone in that soft, deli cious, almost solemn grey. As many years have stepped into light and died away in the shade since these towers were new as the little red cottages can boost weeks. London Society. Uarly Ute of Paper. Mr. Thomas Wright sends the following in teresting note to the London Atliemeuim "I have made a little discovery, which I think will be considered curious, in the his. tory of paper. I believe that the first traces of the use of paper in Western Europe are found towards the end of the twelfth century, and we have no reason to suppose that it was in use in England until the thirteenth, or even the beginning of the fourteenth. It is understood to have been brought westward from Italy, where it was in nse earlier; and I believe that our word paper a corruption, of course, of papyrus is considered to have been borrowed, with the article itself, from the French. I saw years ago in Paris I be lieve they belonged to the royal col lection (it was in the time of Louis Philippe) a few of the earliest doouments on paper known belonging to Western Eu rope in the period since the Romans, which interested me much. They consisted of re ceipts, or rather bonds, for money borrowed from the Jews in the time of cur Caaur do Lion, given by chiefs who were starting for bis cmsade; and, U 1 remember well, the paper resembled much that of the fifteenth and six teenth centuries, except that it was of a rather coarser texture. It would seem as if, in the West, its nse at this early period was known principally among the Jews. Now, I am just passing through the press an edition of a Glossary 01 xatin ana tngiisn or, as we are acenstomea to can it, Ancrlo-waxon Words' of, I think, not later than the middle of the tenth century. We may safely look npon it as the English of the days of Atnelstan; ana in tiie part or wnicn l have just received the proof I find 'J'apirus, paper.' The word paper does not occur in Dr. Bosworth's, or any other Anglo- Saxon dictionary; but we hive here evidence that it was in use in our langnage at a very early period, and there cannot be a doubt that we derive it.from the Anglo-Saxons, and have not taken "it from the French of the Middle Ages. Bnt this fact leads ns to another that our Anglo-Saxon forefathers, to have the word in an Anglo-Saxon form in their own language, must have been pretty well acquainted with paper itself, and, no doubt, they found the Roman paper in nse in the island when they came. It is a fact, indeed, which opens to n several others, equally new, in the social history of our Anglo-baxon forefathers. I need hardly add, that paper probably never went entirely out of nse in Western Europe after the Roman times, and a little research might still throw some curious Herat npon its History during the earlier Middle Ages. It certainly was not supposed before that it might be in nse among the Anglo-Saxons." SHERIFF'S SALE. s HCRIF F'S SALE.
