SNfIWitALLI 3I G. BY Josin H. HUNT. The soft, loose gold of her tresses Is straying about her face, . And - the wind through.its silken meShes Is running a frolicsome race; Her violet eyes—howthey: darken a - ndflasli! Her rose-red cheeks—how they glow ! i As she stands, ankle-deep in the milk , white drifts! 'Pelting me with the snow. She tosses the soft flakes round her, In her pretty, hoydenish play, Till she looks like a sea-nymph rising Through the billows of foam and spray. She moulds the balls with her little bare hands; Do you think she would pout or scold If I nestled the pink palms down in my breast To warm them ?—they look so cold ! IE tar white wool mittens are flung on the snow, Each one in itself a flake, And her silken scarf beside them lies, Coiled up like a crimson snake. All about me the tracks of her soft brown feet Have printed the downy snow, And I know by them where, another spring, The prettiest flowers will grow. She laughs and scoffs when my snowballs fly Harmless over her head, And she flirts her curls in a saucy way, And crouchesin mimic dread; She calls me a sorry-marksman, An awkward fellow—and still She, sly little witch, knows well enough It isn't from lack of skill. She knows I would sooner think Of tearing a butterfly's wing, Or of beating a lily, or throttling The first sweet robin of spring, Than of aiming at her in earnest, • Or hitting her if I could, Or harming so much as a tassel Of her little scarlet hood. Gay, beautiful Madge ! Oh what would she do If my mouth was half as bold As the crystals which fall on her lips and her hair, Like pearls among rubies and gold? Will her pride and her wilfulness trample my love As her feet have trampled the snow ? That the'missiles she flings, which are ice to my face Are fire to my heart, does she know? Sweet tease ! does she guess I am wondering now Whether she'll ever be, In the long, long future before us both, Anything more to me That a little hoyden with wild, gold hair, And red-rose cheeks in a glow— Who stands, ankle-deep, in the milk-white drifts, Pelting me with the snow ? LFrom Ent= Burritt's Recent Travels In Ragland.] Honiton Lace. "I wished much to see how this deli cate fabric was wrought, and by what kind of fingers and in what kind of houses. So the proprietress of the ware house sent one of her assistants with me to a small cottage on a back street,where three women were at work on a floor of cement spread upon the natural earth. It was a small apartment, hardly high enough for a man to stand upright with his hat on, which he never ought to do in such a presence. I felt impelled to lower mine with unusual reverence at the sight. Two of the women, the occupants of the cottage, were sisters between sixty and seventy years of age. The third was a neighbor who had dropped in with her working pillow, and was plying her needle with her bonnet on ; • just as in the olden time neighbors in New England would make a morning call, taking their spinning-wheels with them. I sat on a stool, and had a long talk with them on their art and occupation. The eldest of the sisters wore spectacles, and a long, still, solemn face, which seldom took on the sunshine of a smile in the course of the conversation. She had worked on lace for more thon fifty years. She had wrought on the wedding-dresses of three generation of queens—Adelaide, Victo ria and Alice. She worked the royal arms, with the lion and the unicornand the motto, put up before the window of the sales depot—an exquisite specimen of taste and art. "The business was now very 'much depressed. She could hardly earn a penny an hour. Many of the young women had been obliged to abandon it altogether, and seek service as common house servants, scrubbing floors, and handling pots and kettles with fingers ;that had worked white tissues of flowers and foliage, which queens were proud to wear on their coronation days. She had heard of some of the causes that made the trade so low; but she had understood them dimly. She did not read the news papers; but she had heard of the war in America. They had told her that it was something about exchange that hindered the sale of lace. "Poor woman ! I looked into her still and solemn face, at the worn, lean fin gers as she spoke of these things in such a subdued and murmuring tone. She little knew the long-reaching and ruinous sweep of war,.the infinite rami fication of its destructive issues. She had not vigor of mental vision to see, - though she felt it to the core of her hun gry wants, how the invisible sirocco of war blows with unabated breath over the widest oceans and continents, and blights the humble industries of the poor in distant lands. "Thetprocess of lace) working is ex ceedingly interesting, requiring the nicest judgment of the eye and a finger skill of the greatest felicity. Although it is wrought in clay-floored cottages, and in the one room that serves as parlor, kitchen, cellar, and sometimes sleeping apartment, the lace, worked in the most elaborate and varied patterns, is deliv ered at the salerooms as pure and un sullied as the thread at its giving out. It is wrought on round, plump cushions, or pillows, and as fast as the figure pro gresses, it is covered with a thin belt, or veil of. oiled silk, so that only a very narrow slip or space is exposed at one time to any subtile dust or accidental touch of the finger. r. "Of course the Honiton lace is all wrought by hand, and has to compete with a very elegant article made by ma chinery in Nottingham and other towns, that manufacture it in vast quantities for the markets of the world. In face .of such almost overpowering competi tion, this slowly-Worked fabric of the - fingers struggles to hold its own. It still 'rules' as the most perfect and dura ble, as`welll as the most elegant em broidery of bridal dresses of princesses • and ladies of high ,nobility and fashion. .- r ;fit is a pity, when they are so proud to • ' wear it, that the artists who clothe them with such flower-work should be so poorly paid. Somehow or other this fEE DAILt EVENING BULLETIN inequality. between the wearer and maker is: the Widest and worst in articles of lu - xur3k Diamond-diggers and pearl divers and ermine-hunters have always had a harder I time of it than even :Ithe Honiton labe-workers. The blunt fingered men who-follow the plough and wield the sickle fare better." stump Anecdotes. In the good old days of stump-speak ing, the man who could tell the best anecdote was very likely to throw into the shade the most elaborate logician .and the most classical orator. We used to think our old friend Billy Gilmer (who says Napoleon was a General Jack son on a small scale) could tell more anecdotes in one speech than any man we ever heard of. But Mr. Gilmer is completely eclipsed by a Western orator, one Cary, in quantity, if not the qual ity, of anecdotes. We never saw ex actly such a speech before. He is described by the reporter as having a happy faculty of introducing the word devil into his remarks by way of emphasis, which were invariably.re ceived with great laughter and cheering by the audience. The man's speech had absolutely not one argument in it, but was full of the broadest and most profane anecdotes. Some idea 'a the so called politician may be gathered from a few specimens which we have purged of some of their abounding grossness. After relating an adventure of an Irishman with a polecat, he said that he, the speaker, had got converted - since the war, as old Sam Adams was. Old Sam Adams went downstairs to get a pitcher of water. The old woman (his mother is meant, probably,)said, "Samuel, don't break the pitcher.' But Sam slipped, and, instead of trying to save himself, he clutched the pitcher with both hands, fell, and broke his nose. The old woman came to the cellar door and said, "Samuel, have you broke the pitcher?" ".No," said he, getting up, holding his nose, "but I'll be cussed if I don't do it;" and he slung it against the wall. • The orator did not vouchsafe to ex plain what the anecdote illustrated, or what object he had in telling it, except to amuse the audience. He then went on with a lively dissertation on the pro gress of education and invention. He said he remembered the first time he wore a shirt. [Cheers.] He went to church in his bare sleeves to show it. The men then used to wear shirts made of tow linen, rough enough to wear the hide off an ox. He said a Yankee, left in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, would - whittle himself ashore to some uninhabited island and get a patent right for the invention in less than a month. He, the speaker, saw an invention the other day which milked seven cows in five minutes, agd the cows don't know that they are milked, and so go ou giving it down as you like. He said he didn't know as man was made by nature for a voting animal. He said he thought if nature had so intended, he would have been made like a possum, with a place to carry the ballot in. [Great laughter.] He next told a story about an Irish man who was passing a jackass, who brayed at him. Taking that as a per sonal address, he went up to the jackass and said: "You are a fine looking beast; you have got a magnificent ear and an illigant voice, but, divil take yer soul, ye can't vote." That was the only dif ference he could discover between the jackass and himself. [Great laughter.] Mr. Cary then referred to that "un damned scoundel," Vallandigharn,and said: "I would just as lief have another civil war as that this cursed Copper head party should ever again get into power." He closed with a long story about a yoke of oxen which ran down hill and turned the cart over; and the Irishman who was driving thus described it: "The larbard ox got over on the star board side, and the starboard ox on the larboard side, and they all went to the devil together." So he thought the Democratic party would go to the same quarter. In sitting down he apologized for not having been able to discuss the great principles involved in the canvass, and expressed his regret for not having two or three hours to himself.—Richmond Despatch. • Making . Her Nark. General Fisk, in a speech in Cincinnati, last week, relates the following : Over $20,000,000 worth of property in Tennessee has been returned to the people by the Government, upon their compliance, with the conditions laid down for those once in rebellion. There are 90,000 people in that State who can neither read no: write • yet their hostility and bitterness towardsi the negroes who are learning, is beyond description t unrelenting and in tense. "A few evenings ago," said General Fisk, "there came into my headquarters at Nashville, a Tennesisee lady elegantly at tired in silk and velvet, to talk with me; as she said. I gave her a seat. She took it pith 'an air,' and told me she wanted to recover her property seized by the Govern ment. She abused it heartily, and read ms a lecturEr.on - Yankees and Abolitionists, and execrated them severely for killing her husband in battle, for he had only gone with the South to fight for its rights. I gave her the circular to read which contains the condition of the Government for clai plants to comply - with. She asked •me to read it for her. I told her; that I had no time; that she had better do it herself, and then fill up the "blanks'? provided to prove the legitimacy- of her claim. She then admitted that she could neither read nor write. I own that while I pitied her, I felt a little mischievos; so I pointed to that ! young Ohio clerk, and told her she would write out the document for her. She was horrified, and asked me with sharpness and aineriV, "Can that nigger write?" Yes, madam, I , said, and he will attend to the business for you. With some reluctance, she went to his desk. He arose, bowed and gave her ftseat, and made out in a fine round handithe ne cessary statement, and then read it for her. It was then 'offered for her signature, but when she dreW off her glove and I saw a splendid diamond sparkle on her finger as she made her "mark," I pitied her from my heart, for the superiority, the real stlperior ity, of the negro was seen in the! simple transaction._ The poor woman, perhaps, felt it thenher self, for she wept, came to her senses re gretted her harsh remarks about the "nig ger," and went away with ideas More be conaing„a reconstructed woman than when she came. Opposition to the Bureau, General Fisk ; continued, I find in every shape. The old talk that the nigger won't work, I ,find on every hand, and the people want to be let alone, just asthey did ;when they were try ing their best to destroy the Government. But we won't let thena alone, fort when I went among them to carry out the business of this Bureau, it was with the convic tion that white and black must Jive to gether. • ; The labor of the blacks is wanted there, and it can be had if the whites will now only do right in getting it. It is my, en deavor to earnestly inigage both in build. ing up the country, torn and desolated by war, and make it once more blessom as the riE 'MAIL 64!
