ITho following pjem, first publlsli-d about fifteen
years ago, Is si 111 going tho rounds, as 11m ly as ever,
Its author, a Now Jersey lady, Is now dead.
A Mason's life Is one that's free
Not tho life, llio", of mortar and bricks
Hut out of nights enjoying n spree,
And plaj lug nsloiilshlug tricks j
Whllo the slies at home nro waiting,
Ne'er dreaming It at nil n dodge,
Hut thinking tho sad bolatlng,
Is canted by "work al tho Lodge."
Where they meet upon tho level
To part upon tho square,
And ralso tho vrry dcMl
While congregated there.
If a bachelor chap In ids courting days
(Irows weary of being tltd,
Hotli day nnd eve, almost nlwnj s,
lly his fair Dulclnea'sslde,
Tho easier way to cscapo aw Idle,
And In fact some calls to dodgo,
Is to seek tho aid of a Mason friend,
And Join a Masonic Lodge.
Whcro they meet, etc,
Tlio women don't like Masons
Don't belle o In thein tlio least
From tho Tyler at tho cut tancu
To tho fellow In tho Hast;
Lodge meetings nro but covers
To hide some larking dodgu
Look out when mates and lovcra
Have ''business at tho Lodge."
Wliero they meet, etc.
Now, whato'er tho Mason's secret
Ho their fetish, goat or rani;
l!o It order good or ev n,
Worth n blessing or a p?alm
Let them keep It snug nnd co.y,
Let them worship (in a horn.)
Let them bo sedate prosy,
Hut as sure us Ihey nro born
We'll jet meet them olt "tlio level,"
And eio wo pait bo "siuaroi"
For at .somo Lodge held revel
The women will bo there.
Then woo bctldo the shiner
Who "spreads It lu tho Ha't j"
Fear will make them rather thinner,
Though lio may bo fat tho beast,
And all their grand regalia
Skin aprons, stars nnd Jewels
We'll sel7u upon ns plunder,
For women nln't all fools.
Though thev don't meet on a level
And part upon the sipiare,
Mill they can raise tho d
If they get a ihance that's fair.

A 1T.MAM-: LIlllllV.
11Y DON 1'IATT.
Anytime during the scs-ion of Cnngre-s
one ante room to the Senate Chamber is filled
w ith females patbcreil in groups about the
learned liiw-maK-er.sorattractiiij,' them singly.
Somo of them are wives or daughters of the
Senator.s, some are strangers visiting at the
Capitol ; but the majority is made up of
women pressing claims before Congress.
To get a better look at these feminiiio
agents, ,mo niti-t vi-it tho lobby to the rear
of the Speaker's chair in the House of Rep
resentatives. It is :i low corridor under tiic
reporter's gallery finished and furnished in
tho same florid style peculiar to tho entire
building. On the same side are doors open
ing into tho hall of tho Hou-c, on tho
other the Speaker's private room, origi
nally intended for the families of tho mem
bers but of late so invaded and occupied by
the female lobby that families of members
shun tiie place, and tho Speaker himself is
driven to tho Clerks' oiliee when he wishes
to see a friend or write n note.
Here wo liud the female lobby in all its
glory. It appears clad in the tints of tho
rainbow .mil fairly dazles one with its dis
play of jewelry. Some of this is cheap but
most of it is really co-tly. To tiic man of
the world tlio dress is si shade- too vulgar aud
the manner slightly too loud and coarse.
Some aie young and fresh but tho majority
are on tho w rong side of forty, with a hard
look about their faces and lines and tracks
of tried feelings and past disappointment.
The average Congressman U not a man of
tlio world, lie marries before lie achieves
greatness, and bis knowledge of life is limi
tiii to a very primitivesoci.il condition whcro
he encountered and wed this plain, homely
littlo woman whosharcshisclcvation without
adding much to its dignity or grace. When
such a man comes within reach of the more
ordinary specimens of theso legislative Deli
lah, he is somewhat intoxicated by the at
tention, and votes away vast domains, subsi
dies and huge monopolies, under the influ
ence of a sandal wood fun. Tho study of
tho average, Congressman from a social or
indeed any point of view, is not only of in
terest, but important, if wo wish to under
stand and appreciate the w orking of our free
institution. Taken from the common walks
of life, he finds himself translated out of a
little oilice where poveity waits on business
and an humble home, barely posses-cd of the
ordinary comforts of life to the gorgeous
magnificence of n marble palace gorgeous
beyond his wildcat dreams. As he approach
es its many entrances, obsonuious servants
bind before him and tlio magic doors swing
on easy hinges, as if conscious of his rights
and privileges j nimble pages obey hisslight
cst wish and anticipate his needs. His mail
matter suddenly swells to an enormous ex
tent. Tlio average Congressman appreciates
the mail mutter. It costs him nothing and
indicates his greatness. In the committee
room, where ills delegated body repo-cs in a
velvet cushioned chair, under a ceiling whcro
gorgeous frt'scolngs weary tho eye, lie has a
realizing greatness, This is not diminished
when the committee, after half an hour's la
bor on public. aHiiirs, draws a buttle from a
hidden recess of thu heavily carved walnut
cltiscts; a bottle with which lo refresh their
glg.tutlc minds,
Tlio average Congressman revels in sta
tionery. The mail who never read a book
witli a tasto fur reading, and regarding pen,
ink and paper as punishments, suddenly
wakens to a thirst for stationery. Ho sei.es
on hot-prc-scd satiu-urfaco, gilt-edged,
French, Kngli-h and Yankee paper ! How
he dues eye and grasp thu snowy envelopes
neatly packed and put up at his dUpo-al !
llo makes a requisition for his stationery
in the House, aud scuds it to his boarding
house to astonish his wife, lu tho commit
tee room the clerk, if ho is an amiable man,
draws other nnd further stationery for him.
Much depends upon this, Ouco tho Com
mittee un Commerce was honored by my
presence as clerk to tho same. Somo days
alter I was duly installed tlio messenger en
tered tho committee rooms laden witli sta
tionery, in response to my requisition,
"Hero Colonel," mild tho obliging messen
ger, "lock this up and don't let the Congress
men have nny ; they waste it bo,"
Hut it U when tho average Cjiigrc'sman
first comes in contact with the female lobby,
that ho realty' s hU translation, These are
to 111 in refined, fascinating und beautiful
denture, Ilia poor littlo homely wife fades
t) naught His life seems to have been bar
ron until then and now lie regrets the early
innrriago that shuts him from a union with
one of these elegant women I
Thcro nro two sorts of processes through
which fraudulent legislation Is perfected.
Ono is called "ring ' which nioam a combl
nation of rogues for some purpose tho other
is called tho "lobby," nnd designates agents
living here, and employed by tho rings and
Individuals to push their evil schemes
through Congress.
I liavo made tho acquaintance of several
specimens of those two sorts of jackals, and
propose, photographing them somo day to
enlighten my readers as to tho nature of this
branch of our National Legislature, that
costs the people more than tlio legitimate law
making power, tho judiciary and tho execu
tive. I was turning this over in my iniml du
ring the li tesosslon, whllo I sat on tho sofa
in the Cave of tho winds, listening to tlio
blowings lo and fro about me, when I hap
pened to cut my eye to tho ladies' gallery
above, and out of tho gloom saw a memory
come in tho shapo of a fair face. These
galleries were not constructed with an eyeto
etlcct so far as female loveliness is concerned
as tlio dim light from abovo gives a ghastly
paleness that not only destroys tho beauty
but seriously damages tlio expression. Un
der tho circumstances tho faco failed to lo
cate itself and my memory w as dim and un
certain as tlio flashes of a former life that
conies to us at times between sleeping and
waking.
I was so disturbed and haunted by this
memory, thai I left my seat and sauntered
into tlio gallery, seating myself near my
fair friend, ami without rudely staring I
found my mind gradually gathering the dis
jointed fragments of the past, until tho fair
laco was framed in and located. It was a
very sweet face, not so young as it was, but
with a prevailing expression of childlike
innocence. Add to this a manner of great
refinement, set oil' and adorned in tho ex-
tremo of the fashion, but subdued to tho
best taste and most artistic harmonizing of
colors, and I had an old acquaintance before
me. Although I looked my fair friend in
the face, I saw that she had cither forgotten
me or was not disposed to renew tho ac
quaintance. She was talking in a quiet, easy
manner to a well known member of Con
gress and I considerately withdrew as if I
had been looking in the face of an utter
stranger, instead of one well known in times
gone by. An hour afterwards I happened to
be on tho entrance to the Senate Chamber,
where the multitude of marble steps seemed
to run out and flow down, when my fair
friend came by accompanied hv her Con
gressional escort late of tho gallery and al
most bru-hed me with her dress tho twode-
cended. I saw a neat private carriage drawn
by a handsome pair of bay, and driven by
i coachman in livery drive tip.
Aly friend of the law making power helped
the lady in with a bow ; the door swung to
with a bang, and the fair ono drovo away,
while the Solon c.ime up steps humming a
tune and snapping his fingers as if especially
plca-ed with himself. Having a speaking
acquaintance I begged pardon for my curi
osity, and asked Solon the name of his
lriond.
".Mr. , of New York," was the
quiet response.
The whole- of theso surroundings were ap
parently so lifelong and respectable, and so
entirely dilferent from those that I believed
formerly hedged in the lady, that I was in
doubt. Hut no ; tho longer I thought upon
tho matter, the more I felt satisfied of the
identity. And tho remembrance was singu
lar. While detained in Washington during
the war, awaiting orders, I was invited bv a
brother ollieer to a wine supper. The people
iving tho entertainment were strangers but
taking my friend's word I went. I was par
ticularly struck with two of tho guests ono
a slender youth with largo dark eyes, and a
broad thoughtful forehead whom I took for
:ui Italian or a Frenchman his name lias
since taken its place upon tho roll of im-
movtality; pinned there by the mo-t tearful
crime ever committed theothcr a beautiful
woman of twenty, in fact but much younger
in appearance. I found this young lady ex
ceedingly charming, as sho was not only
lovely iuper.sou but lovely in mind.
We broke up at a lato hour in tho night,
or rather at an early hour of tho morning,
mil being oidered away a few days after the
wine supper and merry poopio there assem
bled soon pas-ed from my mind in the hur
ried eventful life of the camp. They were
destined to return. Could tho future have
been anticipated, death would set at our
board that night, and phantom vi-iims of
dreadful events dimmed the glittering lights
nnd settled lu horrible gloom on the counte
nances of tho a-scmbled guests.
T.o ono Death would liavo said: "I will
claim you at Cliancellnrsvillo;" to another;
"We will meet at night aud I will save you
from the gallows."
Of that little assembly lu tlio supper room
two only survlvo I and another.
While wo were in command at Il.iltimorc,
and after Col. Fi.lt got into his ililliculty
with li.ikcr, so that I bad lor a time inline-
liate contrul of tho Vrovost Marshal's ollice,
I received a card at the F.ulaw 1 Ioii-e, from a
lady waiting to seo me lu tho parlor, lie-
pairing to that reception room I found my
fair friend of tho wine supper at Washing
ton So far as her beauty went sho remained
the same, but her wardrobe evinced straight
ened circumstance if nut poverty. She gave
mo a long account ol her trouble, and
wound iqi (ill'ering to go to Uiehnioiid in tho
employ of tho government, and return with
all the Information sho could gather up for
the no of tho War Department in Washing
ton, I at ouco engaged her, but did not
send so sii'pleous looking an agent into tho
enemy's country until after I had given her
a fair trial in ll.iltliuorc, Shu proved tho
most adroit, cunning, sof-posso.sed detective
that I ever saw or read ol. Sho afterwards
mado two successful trips to Richmond re
turning with valuable information, although
Mr, Stanton bad no question but that sho
carried to the Confederates as much ns bho
brought away,
I left the army aud saw and heard no more
of the pretty littlo detective until tho day 1
met her in tho ladles' gallery so elegantly
gotten up and unrounded. That Is, if bho
wero tho same. All doubt was removed on
this subject by a note I received tho noxt
lay, inviting mo to an interview at tho fair
womau'd lodging. I found her surrounded
with elegant upholstery, aud yet more fasci
nating In tho delicate iiwruiug robo that so
adorn u beautiful woman by tho concealed
cll'irt to adorn, A tall, tquaro built, iron
gray haired man of Intensely respectable
appearance was introduced as her husband,
and as long ns ho remained no nllusiou
whatever was made to tho past, other than
a few words of Introduction ns nn old and
valued friend. Soon ns ho left, however,
sno turned and said :
"How kind of you not to rocognizo mo
yesterday. My poor heart was in my mouth
when I saw you npproach. Hut you liavo
sucii tact you have such a kind heart; I
w.i3 relieved in a moment when I saw that
you stared in if only attracted by my
charms."
"Why, wouldn't your husband put up
with tlio past you arc, I suppose, concealing
from him?"
".My husband !" and sho g.ivo a silvery
littlo laugh ".My husband, that fellow I
Why iio isn't my husband. Hut if tlio Hon.
you saw mo witli yesterday, wero to suspect
lor a moment I would bo ruined."
"Come, now this is interesting : tell me
all about it. What littlo game are you up
to ; lieliovo me, I won't betray you."
'Unit's clover; you never have, and I
don't add to the risk by telling you. Well,
l am no longer a detective, a spy, I am a
lobby agent. It is my business to norstiado
honorable members to vote for my bill."
"What is your bill?"
"Tho ono I am employed to worry
through."
"Well, does it require a sham husband, a
handsome carriage and all this sort of tiling
to set up a lobby agent?"
Certainly. Without a husband 1 would
not bo respectable; without a carriage and
all this evidence of wealth I could not bo at
tractive. It pays however. I could now re
tire on a hundred thousand. Hut I am hor
ribly ambitious; I want a million only
think of it, I mu-t have a million. I liavo
sold myself for m,:"y and I want a big
price."
"And do nono of tho honorable represent
atives know who you aro?"
"Why you goose 1 I thought you knew
better tliau that. Why, tho ring always
reaches the Hotiso and Senate, ami some of
of our directors aro tho mot respectable
men in Congress. There is one, tho most
benevolent, pious, philanthropic individual
in tiie world. Ho is so intensely pious that
he never speaks to me ; nevertheless ho pays
mo heavily. Thero is another, a most re
spcctablo gentleman, who bows to me pro
foundly in the gallery and on tho avenue,
and presents mo to his family with a lofty
air, who would look at mo with iutcnc as
tonishment if I were to thank him for my
clothes, carriages and servants. Yet ho con
tributes." "Why, this is so dainnablo I can scarcely
credit "
"Yes, it is very wicked, and I'd rather you
wouldn't believe it. Hut after tho schooling
you gavo me in deceiving, you ought not to
wonder.''
"You mean that for a li it. You forget
that tiiat service was in behalf of your be
loved country, and this"
"Is in behalf of my beloved self."
"Hut do you mean to say that men in high
position connive at this wickedness?"
"Look about you ; seo thu enormous for
tunes realized by officials, and you will seo
that initio is not the only carriage rolling
about M ashington that is a fraud, and I am
but among tho host of the wicked. You aro
too much a man of tlio world, Colonel, to bo
astonished at finding a good deal of sancti
monious respectability covering rascality. It
is tho cheapest cloak to get and tho easiest
to wear."
"And how do vou influence these So
lons?" "Sometimes ono way, sometimes another;
but always in being very quiet and exclu
sive. Tiie men bought cheaply aro not
wortli buying. My business is among tlio
higher sort, that will not stoop to common
carrion, and carry with tlitin great moral
character that not only covers themselves,
but all the littlo rogues that vote with
them."
"And do you often fail?"
"Sometimes; not often, for my mission is
to capttiro tho leaders. Tho lesser lights aro
left to coarser means. Somo surrender to
delicious littlo suppers, other to persuasion,
others again to love. There is General
, proud, seiisitivo and suspicious, ho
comes to me with all his griefs and I .listen
to them. ou'd bo astonished to know how
little tho tongue and tho car liavo to do with
this bti.sine.ss, Then there is Mr. ,
who began life with a homely, unrefined
wife, and is now ashamed of her. l'oor
man ! he is really in love with mo."
"And will all tho money you make pay
for tho degradation you stiller In return?
You are a woman of fine intellect, an intel
lect that approaches genius. You could
command admiration, respect, wealth, by
devoting your gifts to an honorable pur
suit." Her face flushed for a moment, and then
starting to her feet and pacing tho floor iu
somo excitement, she exclaimed:
"I learned my fate when it was too lato.
Hut you tiro the last man to upbraid me.
Do you know when I discovered my power
as an actress? I will tell you. Under your
tuition while In Haltiinoro. I camo to you
starving and you sent mo into private fami
lies to worm out their secrets and betray
their Intentions."
'There vou go again. That was in tho
service of your country, and tlio people pos
sessed of thoso secrets wcioour I'liciuh s,"
"What was tlio diflercneo so far us my
character went? Hut I do not regret. 1
have nothing to regret. 1 lutvo no friends,
no relatives, no country. I never knew a
man who did not either insult mo or cheat
me. I never knew a woman who had not a
stony heart and claws like a cat, I hale
them all. They would hunt mo down, and
so 1 hunt them down when I can."
"Hut you have money enough, wliy not
leave this horrible business, mul fiom this
out try and po-soss your soul iu peace. You
are young yet, you can liavo many yours of
happiness before you,"
"You want mo to desist," sho said, inter
rupting me. "I liavo two good reasons for
going on. It is not avarice, although having
bold myself to tho devil, I am right in getting
tho best prieo for my poor soul. Hut lot mo
show you my two rea-ons for going on."
Sho walked to nu nrched recess, and pull
ing aido a heavy curtain, showed ine, play
ing on tho floor, two beautiful children.
"There," she contlmuxl, dropping thoctir
tain, "theso aro my two iciisuns. I cannot
give my children n good namo but I will
give them that which is moro precious than
u gjod namo lu this, mean wicked world of
ours. I will give them wealth and I will

that if you betray mo you betray them. I
left tho detective business when I left Haiti
more. I try moral suasion now."
And so I took my leave, and I give this
imperfect sketch of tho way laws aro made
through the lobby in our beloved Capital.
I'aienlal Folly.
That all scnslblo parents truly desire tho
welfare of their offspring is n proposition
that will not bo disputed. This point being
conceded, it cannot but bo a matter of sur
prise that no many pursue a course which re
sults, if not iu utter ruin, in great aud irre
parable injury to those sacred gifts committed
to their charge.
From close observations mado in reference
to this matter, extending through a period of
moro than twenty years, tho writer lias no
ticed two extremes of action. In tlio one
case, parents teem to entertain tho notion
that, for somo incxplicablo reason, their
children are moro highly gifted, or, in other
words, are "moro clever" than the other
children of their acquaintance. Such par
ents seek every opportunity to d splay their
children's superior intellect nnd acquire-
incnt.,a!id habitually boastoflheir transcend
ent abilities iu their presence. The result is,
the children soon become egotistical and dis
gust all who cannot view them with parental
eyes.
It not 'infrequently happens that results of
the most serious character ensue, which can
bo directly traced to tho foolish idea enter
tained by parents that their children nro pos
sessed of unusual wisdom. Ono fact out of
many of a similar nature that have occurred
within tho scope of our observation will illus
trate this point.
Wo were once visiting in a neighborhood
whcro dwelt a man of ordinary abilities and
moro than usual business tact. His young
est son was tho namesake of an eminent
statesman, a man whom tho pcopledelighted
to honor. Tho fond patent, from tho first
dawning of the child's intellect, conceived
the idea that lie was possessed of aupcrior in
tellectual powers, and predicted for him a
career that would rclipso the renown of the
great man whose namo ho bore. They were
never weary of praising him for his unusual
"cleverness," and seemed to forget that oth
ers could not discern the brilliant elements
of his character.
Time pas-ed on until the "future states
man" came to the mature age of i years.
His father was a farmer, and procured an
agricultural machine, which was jirojicllcd
by steam jiowcr. Tlio boy was allowed to
tamper witli it, and when hi parents were
warned of tlio danger they insisted he had
more son-c than half the men iu the neigh
borhood, and thero. was nothing to fear.
What was tho rcwilt? In an unguarded
moment the child was left in solo charge of
the machine; his right hand becamo en
tangled in tho cogs, aud had to be amputat
ed; and ho is consequently ;i cripple for
life.
Had the poor boy's parents entertained
the sensible opinion that, like other children
of his age, bo required to bo kept aloof from
danger, this sad calamity would not have
happened.
We liavo painted a picture drawn from
actual fact, of the dire retults of parental fol
ly in thinking their children uncommonly
"clover." Wo now beg tbe reader's indul
gence while we sketch auotbe-r, where an
equally injudicious course was purmed.
In another neighborhood iu which the
writer was visiting, lived ii man to K'hoin
the kind Father had given a daughter. He
was a person of ordinary abilities aud fair
acquirements. His fellow pifWiioners ele
vated him to olliccs of trust, which he filled
with credit nnd ability. HeJifing his
daughter to bo moto than ordiuar.'ly widow
ed with abilities, he was anxious tc Jiaw her
becomo qualified for the lesponsflilo and
honorablo profession of a school teacher
The truth was, nature had not desigm'-d her;
for a scholar. While this was true, had a :
less harsh and more rea-onable and judicious
courso been pursued, the reult might have
been le-s terrible than it was, although his
hopes might not have been fully realized.
Anxious to comply witli her parent's wish
es, but yet conscious that sho had no natural
capacity for the vocation chosen, sho appli
ed herself with assiduity, aud overtaxed her
feeble powers in order to qualify licr.-elf for
the station selected for her. Often she
would return from school, disheartened and
discouraged from the factth.it, strive as hard
and diligently as sho might, sho fell behind
the moro higlily gifted. Instead of meeting
with encouragement and a-sist.iiice, bho was
met with rebukes aud the severest reprimand-'.
"You aro nothing but a blockhead,
and will never know anything." This is but
a specimen of tlio harsh and unfeeling lan
guage (we can call it by no softer name) that
fell upon her cars. Now mark the conse
quence. Instead of giving up, she overtaxed lier
powers; and tho girl who might liavo been si
respectable member of society, has for years,
in coiiscquenco of tho derangement of her
nervous system, produced by overtaxing u
mind not naturally over brilliant, been tlio
victim of terrible fits and spasms is a per
feet mental imbecile.
AVo have been induced to write tlie-o
statements of facts, hoping that oilier parent!
may uo them as le-sou, and shun such in
judicious courses in tlio education of tlio
precious lambs committed to their earn.

Tlio Valley of Kashmir ami lis Women.
That country has been so often visited and
described that, witli ono or two exceptions, 1
shall only touch generally upon its charac
teristics. It doubtless owes somo of Its
clinrm to tho character of tho regions in its
neighborhood. As compared witli tlio burn
ing plains of India, tlio slcrilo steppes of
Thibet, and tho snvngo mountains of tho
Himnlays and of Afghanistan, it presents a
beautiful nml astonishing contrast. After
such scenes even a much morocommonplaco
country might have afforded n good deal of
the enthusiasm which Kashmir 1ms excited
in eastern poetry, and oven in common ru
mor; but beyond that it has characteristics
which give it a distinct place among the moat
pleasing regions of tlio earth. I said to tho
maharajah or ruling princo of Kashmir, that
tho moit beautiful countries I had seen wero
England, Italy, Japan, and Kashmir; and,
though ho did not seem to like the remark
much, probably from a fear that tho beauty
of tlio land ho governed might mako it too
much an object of desire, yet thero was no
exaggeration in it.
Here, nt a height of nearly 0,000 feet, in a
temperate climate witli abundanco of moist
ure, aud yet protected by lofty mountains
from the fierce continuous rains of tlio Indi
an southwest monsoon, wo have tho most
splendid amphitheatre in tlio world. A flat
oval valley about sixty miles long, and somo
forty iu breadth, is surrounded by magnifi
cent mountains, which, during tho greater
part of tho year, are covered moro than half
way down witli snow, and present vast up
land beds of pure white snow. This valley
lias lino lake, is intersected witii water
courses, and its land is covered with bril
liant vegetation, including gigantic trees of
tho richest foliage. And out of this central
base thcro rio innumcrablolong picttircsquo
mountain valleys, bitch as that of tho Sind
river, while above these there are great pino
forest, giecn slopes of grass, glaciers and
snow. Nothing could express tho general
effect better than Moore's famous lines on
sainted Lebanon;
"Whoso head In wintry grandeur towers,
And whitens with eternal sleet;
Whllo summer. In a valo ot Itowcrs,
Is sleeping rosy at his feet."
The great encircling walls of rock and
snow contrast grandly witli tho soft beauty
of tho scene beneath. Tho snows seem to
have a wonderful effect as wo look up to
them through the leafy branches of tho im
mense ehunar, elm, and poplar trees. They
flash gloriott-ly in tlio morning sunlight
abovo tiio pink mist of tho valley plain ;
they have a rosy glow in the evening sun
lit, and when tho sunlight has departed,
but ere darkness shrouds them, they gleam,
afar oil", with a cold and spectral light, as if
th'ey belonged to :i region whcro man had
never trod. Tho deep black gorges in the
mountains liavo a mysterious look. Tho
sun lights up softer grassy ravines or a green
lope, and then displays splintered rocks ris
ing in the wildest confusion. Often long
lines of white clouds lie along tho line of tho
mountain summits, while at other times ev
ery white icak and precipice wall is dis
tinctly marked against tlio deep blue sky.
The valley plain is especially striking in
clear mornings and evenings, when it lies
partly in golden sunlight, partly in tho
hadow of its great hills.
The green mosaic of the level lands is in
tersected by many streams, canals and lakis
or beautiful reaches of river which look like
small lakes. The lakes have floating islands
composed of vegetation. Resides the im
mense ciunars and elms, and tho long lines
of stately poplars, great part of tlio plain is
a garden filled with fruits and flowers and
there is almost constant verdure.
The beauty of tho Kashmir women has
long been famous iu tho east, but if you
want beautiful Kashmiris do not go to Kash
mir to look for them. They have all fino
eye, and tho "eyes of Kashmir" have been
justly celebrated in eastern poetry; but
that is almost tho only feminine attraction
to Jie found in the country, even among tho
dancjug-girls and boat girls. As to tho or
dinary women there is too much sad truth
in A'ictor Jacqucmont's out-burst against
them: "Knou Jliat I liavo never seen any
where such hideous witches as in Kashmir.
(Ho has not been in Thibet!) Tlio female
raco is remarkably ugly. I speak of the wo
men of tho comiuou niuks those ono sees
iu tho streets and fields sinco thoo of tlio
moro elevated position pats all their lives
hut up, and aro never seen. It is true that
all littlo girls who promise to turn out pret
ty aro sold at eight years of age, aud carried
into the l'itujanb and India." I am afraid
that a good deal of that traffic btill goes on,
notwithstandimr tho law which forbids wo
men and mares to bo taken out of the country ;
and as it lias gone oa lor generations, it is
easily explicable how tho women of Kash
mir should bo so .ugly. A continuous pro
cess eliminating tlio pretty girls and leav
ing the ugly ones to continue the raco must
lower the standard of beauty. Hut tho want
of good condition strikes one more painfully
ui Kashmir than tho want of beauty. Tho
atfqullino noses, long chins and long faces of
the womeii of Kashmir would allow only of
a pefculiar and rather Jewish stylo of beauty,
but ovtu that is not brought out by tliostato
of their plij'siquo ; and I don' tstipposo tho
most beautiful woman in tho world would
show to advantage if bho wero imperfectly
washed and dressed iu llio ordinary attiro of
Kashmir a disty, whitish cotton night
gown. JlUtfl wood's Magaziue,
