MEMORY.
1 remember, I remember
The days not long ago,
When life was not a desert waste—
It was not always so—
When childish joys, and youthful dreams,
Then manhood's hope of fame,
Each passed away, and left, alas
To memory but a name.
I remember, I remember
When fleetly passed each day;
When they sped by on wings of wind,
And soon were far away;
When ii'l i ontres new each morn and eve
Brongh kumber long and deep ;
But now, alarl k the phantom form
Of Want disturbs that sleep.
I remember, I remember
When fond heart's gathered 'round,
And made my home a paradise,
And healed each opening wound;
But now, alas! for youthful dreams,
Those friends, with fortune fled,
Gaze on this wreok of youthful hopes
As one to memory dead.
I remember, I remember
How oft a mother's prayer
Has aped to Heaven by angels borne,
To plead for mercy there;
A mother's prayers, a mother's tears,
If aught on earth can more,
Will melt the hearts of sternest men
To tenderness and love.
I remember, I remember
The homestead—oh ! how dear—
Where infancy was roared to youth,
And youth to manhOod's year ;
Where ties which only death could part
Linked heart and hand together,
Where sullen looks were chased away
Like clouds in summer weather.
I remember, I remember
The long, long winter night,
When home was all a glow of love,
The hearth a glow of light;
But mark the change, the cheerless room ;
The ashes on the hearth—
Time and misfortune work d this change,
And what to me is earth?

THE LAST FAIRY
FROM TRH FRENCH BY H. J. E. BROWNE:
I had passed my sixteenth year when
she appeared to me for the first time. It
was, I well remember, one beautiful even
ing in May. I bad gone alone out of the
city. I went with no purpose across the
fields, dreamy and restless, without know
ing why. I had some time been in this
mood, and solitude was delightful to me.
I saw the sun sink into an abyss of pur
ple and gold ; the shadows descended
from the hills into the plains ; the stars
were kindled one by one in the deep blue
of heaven. The frogs chirped on tha bor
ders of the ponds ; the thrills of the night
ingale burst forth at long intervals. 1
heard also the quiver of the agitated
leaves, and the tall shrubs bent under the
breeze, with a murmur sad and soft. The
moon, which had risen deep red in the
horizon, slept, white and radiant, on a
pearl-colored pile of clouds, whence its
rays fell in silver rays on the shoulders of
Night. The tepid air was laden with in
toxicating odors, and I heat d along the
flowery hedges the low cry of birds ca
ressing each other in their nests.
I was going along, opening my soul to
all these perfumes, when I perceived a
troupe of young gills, who with clasped
hands were singing, on their way to the
city. They sang in chorus, of spring time
and love ; their fresh voices vibrated
through the silence of the slumbering
fields like the noise of a distant cascade.
I hid behind a cluster of hawthorn. I saw
them pass, like a swarm of those white
shadows which assemble in the night
around lakes, to form those light dances,
and vanish at the first break of the dawn.
I distinguished by the light of the stars
their brown or blonde heads—l heard the
rustle of their robes; 1 inhaled in long
draughts the mysterious emanations they
left behind, and which had an effect on my
senses more intoxicating than the perfumed
breath of the evening.
When they had disappeared, 1 felt my
self seized with an unknown disquietude,
and having seated myself on a hillock by
the side of the meadow which spread out
at my feet like the ocean of verdure, I
buried my face in my hands, and remained
plunged in &profound reverie, listening,
seeking to comprehend the confused 2nd
trembling emotions that arose within me.
lam unable to say what I experienced. I
felt my heart oppressed and ready to burst.
There was something within ft like a hid
den spring which seeks an outlet—like a
captive wave which seeks to expand itself.
I titled; out, I wept, I found I know not
what:pleasure in my tears.
How long did I t emain thus I When I
rose I saw at some distance before me a
celestial creature, who regarded me with
a smile. A tunic, whiter than the lily,
fell in graceful folds over her person, and
left to be seen on the turf, which they
scarcely grazed, two naked feet, and white
as Parian marble.
Her light hair fell in freedom around
her neck, her cheeks had the freshness
and brilliancy of the flowers which crowned
her - head ; on the rose-ti ited alabaster of
her face, her eyes shown like two open
peri-wrinkles on the snow, warmed into
life by the first kisses of April. Her
arms were naked; one of her hands re
posed upon her breast, while the other
seemed to invite me with a kindly gesture.
I remained for some minutes in silent and
motionless contemplation. No doubt she
mime from Heaven, for her beauty had no
semblance to earthly loveliness, and I saw
slijUithg around her an atmosphere which
enveloped her like a luminous vestment.

"THAT 001INTBY LE THE MOST PEOHPI6,OIIB WHIM LAWN CIOICHANDB THE GEZATEBT BZWAED."- -BUCHANAN
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10, 1863
In Artemas Ward's inimitable leotore
on Ghosts, which by the way was a ghost
of a lecture so far as Ghosts were con
cerned, he tells of an absurd man who
wouldn't have any glass in his windows—
he thought the sash would be enough, as
it would keep out the coarsest of the cold.
This reminds a correspondent of a story
that old Parson H., of P., used to tell of
his experience of the cold on the night of
his marriage. They went on a "bridle
tower' to his cousins, down on the shore of
Connecticut, and spent the night, which
was one of the coldest of the season, and
being put into a cold, spare room, they
suffered severely. After a while his wife
asked him to get up and see if he couldn't
find something more to put upon the bed.
After diligent search he could find noth
ing but his and his wife's clothing, which
he gathered up and packed upon the bed,
and got in and tried it again; bat still they
grew no warmer very fast,' and his wife
begged of him to get up and search about,
and see if anything more could be found,
and suggested that there might possibly be
something in a closet in one corner of the
room ; so he went and examined the closet,
and reported to his wife that an old fish
net was the only thing he could find.
' Well, my dear,' said she, put it on, put
it on; that will tangle the cold a little.'
An old man picked up a half a dollar in the
street. 'Old man. that's mine,' said a keen
looking rascal, 'so hand it over." Did. thine
have a hole in it ?' asked the old man. ' Yes,'
replied the other smartly- Then it is not

AMONG THE MILLINERS.
BEAU HACKETT AS A FASHION REPORTER.
I was fowling in the marshes of Calu
met when 1 received your note. I was
preying remorselessly upon the feathered
tribe generally, with a double-barreled
shot gun. My ammunition was about ex
hausted. I had started with a quart bot
tle full of powder in my breast pocket, but
tha tall was gone except a 'snit.' My shot
pouch was almost empty, too t •bat I did
not care for that. A man can hunt well
enough without shot if he only has plenty
of powder—the kind that flies to the head.
Your message arrived in good time to
be heeded. 1 had just got a splendid duck
—by falling off a log into a stream of
muddy water. I felt so much elated by
my success that I was ready to quit. Only
a few hours previous to that I had slain
a dozen of the plumpest ducks I ever saw.
Before I had time to collect them together
the owner appeared upon the field of car
nage, and informed me that they were his
ducks, and were not wild, and never had
been. The owner's name was Drake.—
You can imagine how I felt when I learned
that my ducks were all Drake's. I gave
them up, like a reasonable man, and
charged him nothing for killing them. I
can be generous whenever I want to.
After so many repeated successes it is
not strange that I felt ready to leave the
field. I read the cabalistic line of your
message, come up and do the openings.'
I wanted to come bad enough, but I had
no idea what the missive meant. There
are so many openings in the world, so
many things that can be opened. There
are letters, for instance; letters that be
long to you and letters that don't ; and
there is champagne that can be opened ;
so can ink bottles, so can a bank, so can
oysters (can oystersl. When I arrived at
oysters I st )pped awhile, and it occurred
to me , that I had caught your idea. Some
body was going to open a can of oysters
(the first of the season, may be), and you
wanted me to report the affair. Accord
ingly I came to the city in great haste,
my speed being accelerated by a knowl
edge of the fact that my powder was all
gone, and there is no good powder outside
of Chicago. I was disappointed, not dis
agreeably, however, when I was informed
that the grand season of opening millinery
and straw goods had arrived, and that I
was wanted to make a tonr of Lake street,
and make an article on the fall fashions.
I felt complimented when I was told
that I was the man for the position, be
cause I had a more intimate acquaintance
with milliners, and could get information
from the fair sex better than anybody else.
I am susceptible of flattery, a little, and I
felt complimented, buts mistrusted my
ability. I have not had much experience
in reporting. I wrote local items for three
days on a country newspaper six years
ago, and some of them are going, the
rounds of the press yet. I ought to have
had them copyrighted for they are never
credited to me. I will give one.of them
—the first I ever wrote—and which is re
produced in the papers every month or
two. It is pretty good, and will give you
an inkling of my style :
ACClDENT.—Yesterday a team attach
ed to a wagon rushed madly down one of
our principal streets a distance of a mile
or two, and were only prevented from run
ning away by a gentleman who, at the
hazard of hls life, seized them by the reins
and stopped them. We are fearfully and
wonderfully made.'
-If you hear of anybody that wants to
engage a man to write that sort of items
all the time, I wish you would let me
know it,
I commenced at the- foot of Lake street
to do the fashions. I went through the
great union depot from one end to the other,
and up stairs and down, but I could find
no millinery store there. I then struck
out boldly up Lake street, and came to a
large house nearly opposite a large house
on the oppssite side of the street. I am
thus precise in giving localities that the
public may know where the best millinery
store is to be found. A reliable gentle
man, to whom truth is a greater stranger
than fiction, told me that the second story
of the large house on the opposite side of
the street was a bonnet and straw, goods
establishment. That was the information
I was looking for, and I bounded up stairs
g Like a wild gazelle,'
if I may be allowed to institute a ccm
parison. At this time I was absorbed in
deep meditation, thinking how I should
begin my article, and whether I should
puff anybody. I was abstracted, I think,
and I sailed up the stairway with my body
bent foi ward about nineteen degrees from
the perpendicular, a pencil under my arm
and a reporter's book over my right ear.
I reached the head of the stairs suddenly,
inasmuch as I was going very rapidly, and
as a consequence of my abstractedness, or
something else, I drove my head plump
into a bonnet that the proprietress was
showing to a customer. I was terribly
frightened, and tried to stammer an apolo
gy, but it was no go.
The proprietres looked reaping machines
at me. I threw my pencil down and beg
ged pardon for smoking in 'her presence,
thinking it was a cigar. Told her I hoped
I hadn't smashed anything, and she smiled
a little and said I hadn't. Then I felt
better, and told her I was a reporter.
Then she looked milder than ever, and
said, 'Oh, indeed !' and immediately after
ward she became insufferably inquisitive,
asked me a volley of incomprehensible
questions, and stared at me all the time,
as though she was counting the plaits in
my shirt ruffles or the links in my watch
chain, or the brilliants in my breastpin,
or anything else you like.
Are you long hand or short hand?'
she asked.
Neither,' said I, lam a new hand,
and I rather dislike the business, as far as
I've got.'
The proprietress conducted rue through°
a long hall into a large room occupied by
about twenty bonnets and sixty milliners,
saleswomen, etc. I did not look at the
bonnets for the first half hour, but de
voted myself exclusively to taking an in
ventory of the young ladies.
This is a charming bonnet—golden
dun—Marie Stuart front,' said the lady
in-chief.
Yes, she is,' I replied, but her hair
is a little too red.'
discovered
,my mistake when it was
top late to oorreet it. That's my lank.
An soon as the ,diving
learned who I was, they gathered aroma
me in a circle, and all were anxious to see
wbo could say tha most and best things.
One was descanting upon the beauties of a
chip bonnet, and another handed me a
bunch of grapes to examine. I bit one of
the grapes, and got my mouth fall of bro
ken glass. Then I thought I would rather
report a camp meeting than a millinery
store; then I thought I wouldn't, and I
mustered my courage and made another
note in my note-book, (grapes, not sour,
but sharp .) My tongue bled fearfully, and
I spoiled my best embroidered handker
chief wiping away the blood. The circle
diminished, and the crowd (perhaps II
should say bevy) came closer. I began to
want fresh air severely. Too many females j
in a close room render the atmosphere op
pressive.
, This is beautiful,' said a charming
creature with pearly eyes and blaok teeth,
, this is a dear duck of a bonnet.'
Is it a wild duck?' said I, 4 I've had
enough of wild ducks, especially if they
belong to a man by the name of Drake.'
4 Price, seventy-five dollars,' she contin
ued, paying about as little attention to
me as a man of my qualifications could
expect.
I asked her if she w& uld sell it in small
lots, and how much one of the straws
would oome to, but before I had finished
the question she was showing me some
thing else.
The ladies became less timid as they
became more acquainted, and approached
so near me when they wanted to give me
a bonnet to look at, that my ruffles were
in danger of being crushed. They piled
bonnets upon me till I had both arms full
and the top ones began to fall off, and
every time I stooped to pink up one I
dropped two. It required some skillful
engineering to keep from being engulphed
in the ocean of crinoline that surrounded
me ; and in making a desperate effort to
escape from one billow that came fearfully
near me, I plunged both feet into a mag
nificent French chip bonnet (that was the
name of it,) with a Mariv Stuart or Louisa
Jane Susan Smith front, I forget which.
There was another crash of glass artificials,
a bunch of wheat was crushed to flour,
and a fine blush rose, blushed for the last
time.
The milliners all screamed—the circle
was broken ; some rushed one way and
some another, and some rushed in an op
posite direction. I rushed to a window
and measured the distance to the ground
with my mathematical eye. I had not
made up my mind exactly when a ten-year
old whom I had not seen before (I think
she was an apprentice) ,ung out in a shrill
voice, Ma says if you don't pay her for
the last shirt she made for you she'll pros
ecute you in the court-house.'
I should have been proud to know that
I had an acquaintance there if / had not
been in a hurry. I threw myself out up
on the sidewalk without breaking a bone,
and—/ still live. When next Igo to re
port a millinery affair 1 shall go in a full

GIRLS NEED EXERCISE.—Athletic sports
are full of interest to bitys, and wisely do
both parents and teachers encourage them
to partake thereof, and into them they go
with .a rush, and a relish, and a heartiness
of fun, most cheering to behold and most
excellent in its influence upon their bodily
health. But of how little physical exercise
do our girls partake 2 and how quick are
we to check any propensity to activity in
play, and to any romping gambols or vigor
ous recreation on their part 2 The girls of
the olden time were immeasurably more
sportive than *ould seem to find favor with
the staid discreetness and solemn quiet of
the premature young lady of modern
days. Hoops, (nut as now used !)
battledores, running, dancing in its primi
tive innocence, rope skipping, and an end
less variety of active sports, entirely appro
priate to their sex, were freely indulged in
—sports not only harmless in their nature,
but of positive benefit to health and devel
opment of all the bodily powers. But all
that sort of frolicking, beneficial though
it was to both the bodies and the minds of
the participants, has passed out of fashion,
and we have no romping girls, no Caper
ing Tomboys,' with straight limbs, active
frames, and plump with robust health, no
cherry-cheeked Patties,' full of energetic
life, and proof against rain, htil, storm
and sloppy roads ; but a dwindling race of
pale-faced, sallow-skinned, wasp-waisted
damsels, totally unlike the splendid sam
ples of their sex, (if we may judge of them
by the statues that have come down to us,;
that adorned the cities of Greene twenty
centuries ago; models of the perfect de
velopment of the human form—a measure
around the waist of one of which would
encircle half a dozen of our modern vic
tims of lungs compressed and bones dis
placed by murderous fashion.—Londori
Review.
WANTED TO BE IN Smisox.--Not many
miles from Boston, some time since, there
was a revival, and a merchant who was no
ted for his dishonesty, suddenly became
pious and joined the church. He took to
exhorting, and one evening remarked that
he had done many things for which he was
sorry, and he deemed it his duty to make
full restitution to those he had wronged.
He therefore notified all such that if they
would call at his store he would certianly
do so.
About four o'clock the next morning a
gentleman called at the merchant's house
and aroused him from bed. Raising the
wirdow be demanded the business of his
visitor at that early hour in the morning :
Is this Mr. W
That is my name.'
• Well, / understand you have offered to
make restitution to those you have cheated.
You will remember that upon one occasion
I have suffered to the extent of fifty dol
lars, and I have called to get it.'
Why did you not wait, until proper
hours and then call at my store V
'Simply because I thought if I did there
would be snob a rush that I would not get
anything !'
The window went down with a slam.
U 7" A schoolboy down East,' who was
noted among his play-fellows for hie trolhis
with the girls, was reading aloud in the Old
Testament, when, coming to the phrase
making waste places glad,' he was asked
what it meant. The youngster paused—
scratched his head—but gave no answer,
when up jumped s more precocious urchin
and, cried, out : I know what it means,
master. It 'means hogging., the gals ; for

ducks, but, on account of the number he
bought e market, was not unfrequently
• troubled with tough ones. One day, wish

poultik dealer and said he was an afflicted
boarding house keeper—that his boarders
were ravenous, especially when things
were young and tender.
Now,' said our character with a wink,
,/ want you to pick - out all the tough ones
—all the tough ones—you've got.'
The delighted dealer finds no difficulty
in pinking out a number of tough ones.
