I have looked o'er the hills of the stormy north; And the larch has hung all his tassels forth ; The fisher is out:on the sunny sea, And the reindeer bounds o'er the pasture free ; And the pine wears a fringe of softer green, And the moss looks bright whore my feet hath been. , From the streams and fotints I have loosed the chain ; They are sweeping on the silvery main ; They are flashing down from the mountain brooks; They are flinging spray o'er the forest nooks ; They are bustling fresh from their sparry eaves, And the earth resounds with - the joy of the waves. Away from the haunts of care-worn men, The waters are sparkling in grdve and glen ; Away from the chaml* and sullea hearth, The young leaves are dancing in breezy mirth ; Their light kerns thrill to the wild wood strains, And youth is abroad in my green domains. b3tellatt4tlls. - MR. BONSALL'S MATOHMAKING, • My uncle, Alexander McFarlane, was waiting breakfast, an event very, uncommon with him, for Aunt Nan cy was the soul of punctuality. Nev ertheless she was a : little . late this Morning. Eight o'clock was the breakfast hour, and it was now fully ten minutes past. Aunt Nancy was nc4 my Uncle McFarlane's' wife: He, Was a widow er of some fifteen : years' standing.- Fifteen years before'llis wife had left him a delicate little boy for a keep sake, and had gone away, whispering with her last breath that she was very happy. Her mother and sister, who had come to the house to nurse her,.remained after her death, ac cording to Uncle McFarlane's partic ular request. He would be so glad, be said, if it were not exacting too much of a sacrifice, to have Mrs. Howard and Nancy stay with him, keep up his-house, and attend to his little boy. So Mrs. ,Howard, who was a widow with a very straitened income, rented her little house in the New England village where she had always lived, and came to pre side over Mr. McFarlane's spacious mansion and liberal housekeeping in Greenwich street, New York —my Uncle McFarlane lived in Greenwich street, a fact which marks the date of my story with sufficient exactness. Mrs. Howard had been dead three months, and still Aunt Nancy presid ed over Uncle McFarlane's house hold. Neither of them had ever thought of a change as either neces sary or desirable. Nancy had been a fair, prim, and somewhat quiet girl when she came to live in Green wich street. - She was still a fair, somewhat prim woman of thirty-five, with pretty, soft brown hair, violet blue eyes, and a pure, soft, somewhat changeful complexion. She was not in the least like a modern , young la dy's heroine. She had no „particular aspirations beyond the limited and old-fashioned one of doing 'her duty in that state of life to which it had pleased God to call her. She did not consider herself a martyr to un congenial circumstances, because she made Uncle McFarlane's shirts and mended his stockings, and even the fact of going down 'into the kitchen to do up his immaculate ruffles, when old Mrs. Brown's hands were tot) lame, and the chanibermaid's too un skillful to be trusted with them, did pot awaken in her mind any desire fo rush out into the world in search of a career. No such fancy had ever entered Nancy Howard's head. She was absolutely " contented with her present condition," willing to go on making Uncle McFarlane's shirts, keeping his house spoiling his child, and " making it pleasant for him," as she simply said. Her great pleas ures consisted in doing muslin em broidery, visiting the poor, going to church, and reading the English classics, with now and then a novel. If she had any trials she kept them to herself, confiding them to no spir itual director, newspaper editor, or female friend. Such was Nancy How ard at five-and-thirty. My Uncle McFarlane was a fine gentlerean in the true sense of the phrase., He was unimpeachable in integrity; unspotted in morals, in manners absolutely perfect—a little set in his way, and possibly some what particular in eating and drink ing. He was also given to amusing himself in a quiet way with the pe culiarities of those about him. But he never willingly hurt or neglected any one, and he had a certain- genial graciousness of manner, which made all his empkrps, from Mr. Saunders, his confidential clerk, down to Black Sam, the carman, and Davy, the er rand boy, feel the better when he spoke to them. Miss Nancy is a little late this morning !" observed Uncle hlcFar lane as Brown, his nan, brought him the paper : " Yes, sir. She was out till after twelve last night, at Sam's, sir !" 1' Indeed! • How was that ?" " Well, you see, sir, Sam's girl was took with quick consumption last spring, =dins wife ain't very either. Mils Nancy, she's been there a good deal, and when Snsy was struck with death last evening, she sends for her. So Miss ,Nancy, she went and stayed till it was all over. It was a great comfort to them, air. Yon see Sam's wife, she's got a little young too, and altogether it comes hud!" " I should say so, indeed. We ,must see .tbat everything is done, Brawn. Find out when the funeral is to be, and let me Inow, and tell your wife to send them something comfortable when she goes to mar ket. But here comes Miss Nancy. Bend upp breakfast, Brown." Breakfast win usually a somewhat silent-mai, save for Alleles chatter with his aunt; for Kr. McFarlane al ways read the paper, invariably ask ing ifus Nancy's permission. Lo . RIGLEDLION D TOWAkDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., MAT 8, 1873. "Why do yon look at me so' close ly, Alick ?" asked Miss Nancy, as she caught her nephew's gaze fixed npor her. "I was thinking how pretty you are !" answered Alick, with his usual frankness. " I think you are a hun dred times prettier than Miss Regina Schuyler, that they make such a fuss about. And I don't want her for a stepmother. go, there !" "What is that - about Miss Schuy ler ?" asked my uncle, laying down his paper. "It strikes me that you are taking rather a ;liberty , with that young lady—to say' nothing of my salt" " - It was n't me, father,; it was Mr. Bonsall, answered Alick. " Mr. Bon sall asked me if I would n't like a pretty young lady like Miss Regina Schuyler to come into the house; and I told him no—l didn't want any one but Aunt Nancy. Then he said Aunt Nancy was an f old maid; and I said, if she was forty old maids she was a' hundred times prettier than Miss Regina—and so she is!" "We won't discuss that matter!" ; said my uncle, ainn_oyed, but repress ing-his annoyance, as usual. "Yon need n't mind Mr. Bonsall. We all know his'ways !" There was somethinr , 6 in his father's tone which made Slic k aware that he had,better drop the subject. Un cle McFarlane went on with his pa per, but now and then glanced over it with an expression of some inter est. "Nancy is pretty !" ho said to himself. " There is something in her face which reminds me 9f my mother." Breakfast being over, my uncle put on his overcoat, asking, as he did so, his invariable question, " Have you any commands for the city ?" " And, by the way, please see that everything=is done for Sam's family. The poor woman, will perhaps be the better for some - iport wine, or ale, and(let everything be nice about the funeral. I will taka the expense on myself. Sam is a good faithful fel low." " Nancy is very pretty !" said my uncle, as he Talked out of the house. "I never thought much about it before, bpt she is decidedly pretty. Miss Regina Schuyler, in deed,!. _Really Bonsai! is too • bad to put - such notions into the boy's head." And Mr. McFarlane pursued his way to the office, unconscious of the fate awaiting him there. !.‘ Any letter:; Saunders ?" he ask ed; as he passed the clerk's desk. " I see the packet is in." " Yes, sir. They are on your desk and Mr. Bonsalli is waiting to. speak to you in your room. "What ails Mr. McFarlane ?" said the clerk t. 'him self, as his principal passed on. " I don't believe he ever before forgOt to ask for•my wife. I hope nothing 'is wrong." Mr. Saunders had an inva lid wife, who was indebted- to Mr. McFarlane for many little comforts. Mr. Bonsall was waiting in the of fice. He was a stout man, with red hair and whiskers, and a bluff, un compromising ',Annex% He had a habit, on which Ile prided himself, of always "speaking his mind " that is, of saying everything and anything which came into his head—a habit which did not cause him to be belov ed by his acquaintance. He and Un cle McFarlane had once been part ners, and therotill kept up a kind of intimacy, at which many people won dered. " Well, Bonsall, how goes - the world with . you ?" asked my uncle, leisurely taking off his coat and over shoes. "Oh, well enough. If it don't go to suit me, I make it, that's all!" an swered Mr. Bonsai]. "But, see here, McFarlane, I dicln't come to batuly . compliments. I want to talk to you 'about a serious matter." " Well, what is it r asked my un cle, preparing to listen, not without a longing glance at his foreign letters and papers. "I am going to speak my mind, as I always do !" said Mr. Bonsall. " I want to know what you mean to do about Nancy ?" " About Nancy !" repeated my un cle, with a little start. " What about Nancy ?" "Aye, what about her ? —.that's just it. Of course you can not go on as you do now. It was well enough when the old lady was alive; but her death changes all that, and folks will talk. Nancy's an old maid, to be sure—forty, if she's an hour—" - " Thirty-five !" said my uncle; cor recting him. " Well, five gears don't matter much. She's an old maid, as I said.- Still, folks will and do talk, and you ought to , get rid of her. The truth is, McFarlane, you ought to marry again; and of course you can't with Nancy in the house." ' You think- so ?" " Why, of course not. There's Miss Regina Schuyler, now. She'd jump at the chance of marrying you ; but you don't suppose she'd ,set up house keeping with • Nancy Howard„' do you r' "I must beg, Bonsall, that yon will not bring Miss Schuyler's name into question," said my uncle. "Such liberties are not to be taken with. re spactable young ladies." " Liberty cir not, she would have you in a minute. And there's another thing about it. Nancy Howard is dead in love with you herself, and of course yon can't marry her—that is out of the iple.stion." '" Nancy- itoward 1" repeated my uncle, in a tone of bewilderment. -"To be sure, man; Any but you would have seen it, though Nancy is not the woman to throw herself at any man's head, say that for her. My wife has known this long time, and I can see it too. Of course you can't marry her. She is too old, and poor, • and plain, and in delicate health besides. So, of coarse, all you can do is to get rid of her. - Send her home to her native pbice with a on, marry Regina Schuyler,-and : 4 .1 life anew." - "Does Mrs. Bowan really think that—that Miss Howard entertains inch sentiments ?" asked my uncle, as Mr. Bonsai paused a moment. " Women see such things more clear ly than men." "Of course she does. She was talking of it last night. 'Ninety ought to ba» s ohange.' says she ; if the YBOX ♦IT QUART Z& dot.% she'll. go off like her sister. S:ie's a quiet, patient creature,' says she _thut it is easy to see what -ails her. 4 Now, you'see, her being con-. snmptive is another reason why von can't marry her. So, there ! i've spoken my mind, as I always do, and I hope yon will have sense enough to act upon it." " I shall certainly act upon it," said Ty uncle calmly. "And soon, I hope-!" said Mr. Bonsai, rising. " The sooner the better." " The sooner the,better !" echoed my uncle. "I quite agree with you. Thank you, Bonsall, thank you!" ' think I did a good piece of work this morning !" said Mr. Bon sall to his wife,- as ho was preparing to go out.; "I spoke to McFarlane about Nancy!" - And ho repeated the substance of the conversation.. Mrs. Bonsall was a. quiet, kind hearted woman; but, like her husband, she sometimes spoke her mind. She did so on this occasion. "Bonsai!, you are an idiot ! Most men are in such matters, and you are a perfect one." Mr. Bonsai] looked as if some one had 'thrown a wet towel in his face. "Why, Mary . Aline! What'S that for ?" • "You'll find out soon enough. (3o along,: do, and leave me in'peace." Mr. Bonsall Was always very meek when hi 4 wife took these rare fits of plain speaking, and he shut the door without another word. Mrs. Bonsall sat looking at the fird with an expres sion- of vexation; which gradually changed to one of kindnef.s, • " After-all it - might be worse," said she, speaking' to ,the fire; "Nancy is 'a good soul, and .as s‘*veet as" honey. She will make 'him happy, and be happy herself, and it will be good for the boy. But I think I see Bousall's face when he hears of it I" For two hours my uncle sat 'look ing thiough his office window with out even thinking of his letteri. Then he drew a deep breath, as of one re lieved of a doubt, and turned to his correspondence. Ile did not go home to dinner, but left the °Me early, stopping at a florist's, where he bought some beautiful house flowers, and two nice hyacinth I?ulbs in pretty glasses, which last= he skot to Mrs. Sannder'. "Yather, may I go up and see Torn Slunders? " dsked Alick after tea. And : Nat:y.3- was sitting :It her work tableofre.,ll and neat from top to toe.

He was d , st --- ous, he said, of going abroad for some time, perlmps for souse years. He thought thi. ch Inge would be good for Alick, who showed signs of delicate lungs. Aunt Nancy's heart fluttered and her color went and came ; but she had long been schooled in self con trol, and she made no other sign. "It ison't be for long!" said the quiet, breakinr , heart to itself; littlo gues sing what was in store. My uncle continued. , I don't know exactly how he worded . it, but he ado it...plain that neither ho nor the boy could live without Nancy.- Would Nancy concent to become his wilit - and be a mother to 4iek in fact, as slie had long been in name? And so hi an hour the matter was all settled. - "We are are asked to a wedding?" said Mrs. Bonsall to her husband some six weeks afterward. "A wedding—whose wedding?" asked Mr. Bonsai], not greatly inter ested. "Nancy Howard's !" "Nancy - Howard's you don't mean—" The idea which occurred to Mr. Bonsall fairly struck him dumb. "Yes ; Nancy and 3lTarlane 1" answeredlis wife, enjoying her lord's discomfiture. "They are to• be mar ried at St. Paul's, very quietly, and sail for Europe as soon as possible." "The dquce they are.

V) The ancient : Greeks, though thew never reached the state of luxury and effeminacy of the Assyrians, Babylo nians, Chaldeans, Medes, Persians and Phoenicians:- were not behind them in attention to hygiene and' all the more elegant and,useful - matters connected with the-arts of dreSs and of. toilet. Rhe Greeks, moreover, first cultivated a love for ideal beauty, and to them, to a great extent, man kind is indebted for the highest ef forts of plastic art. The Greeks;, the ancient Romans, the modern Italians reached to the loftiest flights of art. Their respective countries gave birth to the greatest artistic geniuses, and produced -the handsomest .models; Phidias, Traxitelles, Apelles;as well as Michael Angelo,. Ratlnelle, sculptured or drew frOin nature. They sought the most i hcatiful of their - species as models for z their imi tation; but even from these they cull ed only individual perfections, and uniting them in one subject, accord ing to the immutable principles of proportion which constitute abstract beauty, produced their master pie7ce?.. The mythology of the Greeks was founded on beauty. The majesty of Juno, the loveliness of Venus, the chaste fairness of Diana; were deem eti.fit subjects for their worship. The three Graces, Euphrosine, and Thalia, as well as the nine Must s were charming members of a heaven ly system, founded on poetry, harmo ny and elegance. _The Carthaginians and Sicilians, paid early attention to the cosmetic arts and to dress, and from Sicily the first barber was taken to •i . Rome, about three hundred years s.le. The conquerors of the world were the:, little better than rude and Unculti vated barbarians. Gradually refine ment crept in ; the bath was intro. duced; and in time the taste' of the Romans appeared to be as great in matters of the toilet' as •in sculpture and v ia oratory. The - r barber rose- to be a man of some importance, and made himself, indispensable in: a va r'fity of ways, and a bungler would hive subjected himself to'a. chastise ment at the'hands of his customers. The fashionable ladies of Rome car ried artificial styles of dress and or naments to an excess which has no parallel in modern times.
