'Twas a beautiful spring morning
. In the early part of May.
Near Weottege, by the river. • • •
Sat a child engaged in play.
There beside he.V
the ha gathered
All the flower; that round h 4 rew, ,
Then, one by one, in thoughtless Pleasure,
Upon the river's bosom threw, \
it her store ; and Watched the ware
car them fast and faraway. ,
And she sild,—c! river, tell me
you bring them beck some day?
But the \ loyous stream-ran onward,
Bearing them far from the shore;
And she thought she beard It murmur,.
"You will`7 your goweia 'no more. , •
Then she sigherL and vilshed she had them
' B .ck there at her feet again:
But swiftly cut of eight they foiled,
Leaving her to wish—in vain.
. . . •\ •- . •
The gladsome voice of the river deep
fad sunk to rest; awl a\olet sleep
Seemed to have fallen upan he earth,
- _And hushed far awhile her noisy mirth.
Yet, as lovely were-her robes tolday,
As were those she wore In Merryilay ;
Her dreamy rest, as she slumberedhere, .
Seemed to have made her farm
•
, Twai a summer noon, 'swath the leafy Ivees
That were scarcely stirred by the gentle breeze.
A maiden stood,—en the same bright shore
Where she watched her flowers, years befo .
She did net ask, as she stood there then,
It the stream T ould bring them bark again,
She knew they were wirdered long ago,
Butidie was enntent to have it eo.,
For lu her hind were brighter flowers
Than those she culled from childhood's bole&
And as she turned, with careless grace,
And thanked the giver, her happy face
And the earnest look of his dark eyes
ieltl you why she the gltt would prize.
•• Keep than, - he sald, as they tamed away,
In memory of our walk te-day.,

Day' was . ..lone. With lingering feet,

With a loin touch, over 11111 and dale.
Ai the weary farmer; down the road,

Wllh a happy heart,atal joyllus'trcad ;
Itipon lug that nest uds just ahead.
Near the open. doer, by lire's glow,
t•at a matron singing soft and low ; • •
Thinking h,r work vas nattear:Y done,
And that rest, sweettest,'woold soon be won
In thought, she in:tied to the hill-slde near
To the graves,—wheni she 'laid her treasures
dear. I
The autumn leaves fos many yers
Had drlllett where, with blinding tears
Her harvest alwaves were gathered home,
VilerOolin and sorrow never come.
Sim thOught of thelline when the swelling tide
Of the river, as she stoolby Its Mile,
Dore- far away to the other t•horo'
The laia dear face she could sze no more
llut autumn stories were over now,-
lid fairlazitl calm was the water's brow
The gioittog light of life's - long day
Was fading peacefully away.
She had hailed with joy the sett ng sun,
Glad that the time for teak was done.
Without, the di lvlng wintry storm
11as - spent Itself ;and still and wane,
Like a soft white mantle Iles the snow
In pare deep drifts 'o'er the Arid I Clow
The restle;:s feet of the river are stilled ;
Its voice is hushed ; Its life ;
The Icy fetters with which It Is hound
Are faslened deep In the earth around.
Come with me within, to the bed•sgde there,
And ;ay If you know the :greyer fah',
That bcautl'ill suttle,—lt lingers yet,
Though the 1 , t0w . w141 death's fallen dews Is
wet:
Your thoughts-wander bark to days of yore,
To the face orthe child that played on the
CM!
Though dimmed the eye, and slivered the hair,
You know It Is she that slue hers there.
"She Is inane at last t" a neighbor sail, .
As with careful hands they rohetlihe dead,
"And It Is well: fcr long her prayer
Has been for rent with the hived ones there."
“Long years ago her weary fest*,
Won!tl fain hare trod the gold.Vstreet
Patience and trust now Lava reward
In the beautiful mantlon of the Lord.
With tearful eyes they laid her to rest
Sear th? spo,t that In life she loved the best.
Of the t.oft a h!te snow they made hor a pillow,
:And left her steep %leant the drooping willow,.
That :::lently, tenderly, bent above her

\ PERNICIOUS *4.APINO.—The bad

these anecdotes :
TI boy David Hi rne was a believ
er in the Scriptures until he ransack
ed the W9rks- of infidel. to prepare
for a debate in which he Was to take

It is said of Voltaire t at when

teuremory,an infidel poem, add was
never able after that to undo it 'r-.

.Thomas Chambers, an officer f

Wilderforce, speaking ofsthe works
of Lindsey upon his own mid -thus
wrote : , \ r
"It was a foolish curiosity, \and I
was obliged. to stop when. I had \pre;
seeded a little way in the - second
volume ; for I thought I was genii,
ble of the sophistry and effrontery of
many of his arguments and object
ions,lyet, somehow, my mind was en
tangled and -hurt, and after I . had
put the book away, it was two or
three days before I .was composed
again."
Robert Hall tells us," in one- of his
sermons, that after .the reading of a
certain work, "he could scarcely go

" But the union—,

said Maly. -

• " It is your duty to yourself. There

you've been finishing o the odd

calculating, and if your present wa

"That 'would be a bitter thing,

A COSTUME OF EDEN.
"Wonders will never cease" must
be a_frequent. explanation at the
Paris Exposition,lbut one cannot help
fancying \that the exclamation' could
never have been more heartily, utter
ed than when, standing before the ex
hibit of the art of Parisian cf;rselii 4 re,
the flesh euriasse, a perfect fac simile
of the human form from the neck and
half way to the knees was discovered
in all its audacious glory. One of
these marvellous affairs has found its
was here, atid has been s by the
initiated. i
Its p9cliaier has rmitted its ex
amination,nd, though that was en
tirely unne essary, explained its il i pur
pose. It is purely and simply a third
of a female form, in an indescribably
velvety, pliable material, which no
body-can understand,'and which Must
be seen to be conceived, and which
simulates a bosom, a waist and half
of the hips. Those at the Exposition
give the entire hips. This false form,
which must, of coarse, be made ex
pressly for the person wearing lit, is
so soft that it can bel squeersd up in
the band, yet immediately 'resumes
its shape. It deceives the touch, be
ing worn under thin raw silk. , Over
a thin figure:—and it is meant solely
to give rounded outline to the atten
fisted 'or naturally thin shape—it pre
sents a bustiind hips of fine contour.
The eteirasse or "princ,ess waist over
this carries ont to perfection a decep
tion which it is utterly impossible to
detect. ,
r It is worn, it is needless to say,
without a corset, being in Reel(' a cor
set, but without tt,single bone or
spring. How its position—set as it
is under the arms, and extending as
it does ,half=way to/the knees—is
tnaintrined is a perfect puzzle. The
corietiere whose invention it is spent
years upon per t , and it is
used by dansenies, actreisei, and la
dies • belonging to , foreign society;
and, after all, the deception is'no
greater than that of a padded corset.
Over the/high corset it has for those
ifg in public this advantage—
that it is possible to apptar decolktle
with it. A, skillful adjustment of
lace abont the bust alone necessary.

It Is not often that we know, or re
member, if we do know, the origin of
names with which we pre most famil
iar. Their signifieance is frequently
lost by altered •eircuinstinces'or by
want of information on our part.. It
is not generally known that the Hud
son was called North River in coil
tradistinction to the South River, as
the Delaware was formerly styled.
Masmichtisetta was so dubbed because
in the aboriginal tongue it meant
"about the great hills," i. e. the Blue
- Hills. Boston, named afteethe Eng
lish city, was originally St..: Bar
dolph's Town, of which Boston, lip)
abbieviated corruption.- Albany was
so christened in honor of the Duke
of York' and Albany (afterwald -
James II.,) at the time it came into
possession of. the English (1664.)
Catskill is Dutch for panther or lynx,
which once infested those mountains.
Cattaraugus was so designated„ by
the I'ndians because they had, • for
some mysterious reasons, associated
It with. unpleasant odors. It means
ill-' welling Shore. This is not quite
so bad as Chicago, an Indian word

ying a fouma, which, judging
from the oinplaints in Chicago pa
pers of th city's peculiar fragrance,
would see ,to have been properly
named. hemung means big horn,
from a fossil tusk found in the river.
Crown Point is said to kaa 4 e been so
called because scalping parties were
sent thence by.the • French Indians.
Erie signifies "wildcat," - (the• Erie
Railway has certainly been a "'wild
cat" road, as the expression isnuder
stood in the West,) and was' borne
by a fierce tribe of savages extermi
nated by the Iroquois. Manhattan
is eminently fitting for the
its import being town on the
island. Mohawk was applied by the
New England tribes to the Iroquois,
from their habit of eating live food.
Niagara means neck of water; Onei

A " LEOHEROI7B BONDHOLDEL"
A lecherottS bondholder, one of the
kind whom Kearney denounces so
vigorously, lives 'in is vicinity.
Ilow Ithe adjective applies we do not
perceive r as She is a widow of about
eighty, a mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother, and neither her
husband; who married . her young,
nor an of her relatives, could 'ever
imagi e such a word in connection
with a lady of her character.- Still,
E r
in deference to Kearney we must con
sider that she is " a lecherous bond
holder;" the amount of bonds furnish
ing her an income yearly about equal
to wiptt one of the horney';handed
sons of toil, who shovel coal from
the colliery, earns in a month. On
this she manages to supply , ; herself
with food and clothing, -refusing as
sistance from her children and grand
children, Who live abroad in various
parts, and are all doing well.
This same old lady has the right
of dower in half a small house, and
she is a tloated, capitalist, but her
income is so small that the assessors
are ashamed to lay any tax thereon,
and there is scarcely more room in
the house than she needs, so that she
has nothing from rent. Moreover
this old lady, whe seems to be in
straitened ,circumstances, enfeebled
' by age, and as harmless as could well
be conceived, is one of the grinding
oppressors of labor, one of the em
ploying class. She owns five shares
of stock in a manufacturing corpora
tion which fifteen years ago used to
pay' from twelve to twenty per cent
um, but 'since her husband's death it
has paid but one dividend one year
of two per centum, and that they say
was hired Money. The - lady could
hardly 6911 it for any sum, although
at one time it brought an enormous
premium.. . -
..
'Dennis Kearney ought in consis
tency to come down here and head a
mob to hang 'this " lecheioos bond
holdeV' to the nearest ltimpost.
Yet we fear that even the horny-fisted
sons of toil would object to violence
toward a lady so gentle, so inoffen
sive and so poor.—[Netthurypinl

SWIFT PLIGHT OF GABBIER PIG
EON&
A successful 'carrier pigeon race
took place on Sunday from Tobylian
na, Penn., to New York and Will
iamsburg, a distance of 122 miles•by
railroad, .and about eighty-seven
miles in a direct line, the time being
one hour. and rfllty minutes. Twenty
six pigeons were entered, of which
eight belonged to John Mumpleton,
of No. 200 South First-st., Williams
burg; seven of John Van Opstal, of
No. 4 Lewis-st., New York; ten to
Oscar Donner,of No. 93 South Ninth
at., Williamsburg and one to Oswald .
Rothmaler, of the same place. What
made the race .remarkable was that
all the carriers wore young birds one
being hatched in April last, and
another, belonging to Mr. Mumpleton
came out of its egg as latt as June 11.
They _were sent by express to an
dgent in Toliyhanna - with directions
not to - start _them before 9 a. in.
yesterday. Sunday was selected for
their flight for no other reason than
to insure the safety of the birds
against spoitsmen.
Mr. Mumpleton yesterday was wait
ing for the return of his birds in com
pany with a friend, and making-guess
es now -how many of them would re
tfirn safe, when, looking- up, he saw
the carriers sweep around the steeple
of a church in. the neighborhood and
then dart down tolheir cote at exact
ly 1 hour and 51 minutes after their
start, having, flown at the rate , of
nearly forty-four miles an hour. Not
one was missing, and they were all in
excellent condition. After refresh.
ing themselves with dfink and food
they rejoined their companions on
the street. Mr. Mumpelton Showed ,
his best carrier: It was of a gray
color, with' an elongated head, high
at the top, with clear, bright eyes.
:M.. Donner's and Mr. Rothmaler's
carriers arrived together in 1 hour
and fifty minutes beating Mr. Mum
pleton's by 1 minute. Mr. Van Op
stal's carriers accompanied to-their
homes and then recrossed the East
River, arriving at their cote a minute
later. On Wednesday next the same
birds will fly from Scranton, Penn.,
149 miles, and on Sunday, August
, they will fly another race form
Towanda, Penn:, a distance of 267
miles from this city. Next year the
distance will be extended to Buffalo,
*hen several hundred birds will be
entered.
CHANGES OF LIFE,
Change . is the common feature of
society—of all lire. •
The world is like a magic lantern,
or the shifting scenes of a panorama.
Ten years convert the population of
schools into men and women, . the
young into fathers and-- matrons,
Make and mar fortunes; and bury
the last generation but one.
Twenty years convert infants into
lovers, decide men's fortunes and .
distinctions, convert active men and
women into craiwing drivelers, and
bury all the preceding generations.
Thirty years raise an active gener
ation from nonentity, change fascina
ting beauties into old women, convert
lovers into grandfathers, and bury.
the active- • generation,. or reduce
. .
them to decreptitude and imbecility.
Forty years, alas! change the,, face
of all society. Infants are grown
old, the bloom of youth. and oeauty
has passed away, two active genera
tions have been swept from the stage
of life, names once .cherished are for
gotten, - unsuspecta candidates • for
