THE DREAM OF THE YEAR
By Grantellus
(THE SECOND QUARTER.)
'Twos listening to the pat'ring rain
Upon the cottage Lyle,
One thought a thought pursuing
In silent mood the while,
The vernal winds they whistl'd,
And made the shutters rattle
And clink upon the rusty binge,
Like deadly steel in battle.
And then a lull would follow, when
The elements were still,
Like the alternate storm and calm
Within the human will.
A panoramic view then rose
Before my wond'ring gaze
I seemed translated to a land
Of bright and hallo'd rays.
Then emerged from a rock-bound cave
With lordly mien and brow,
A haughty man whose presence made
The head—not heart—to bow.
His look, the' not forbidding,—yet
Had no inviting power
One moment he was bright sunshine
The next a frowning shower.
One day he'd wear a nosegay of
Peach-blossoms, and then lo
The next, their place was with takes
Of winters drifting snow.
A wreath of violets decked his brow
Crown'd bye daffodil,
This vacillating elf was call'd
" Springs first born child"—April.
He soon was followed by a maid
Tbat strew'd the way with flowers
And bid me hie along with her
Into the green-wood bowers,
There no peril there no danger
Throughout the live-long day,
Should e'er betide the weary stranger
Along the sylvan way.
Around her brow was bound a wreath
Of rich and rare perfume,
Cull'd from the countless floral tanks
That in the meadows bloom,
Her auburn locks were intertwin'd
With pearls and blue-bells gay
Her rosy cheeks and cheering smile
Revealed the" gentle May."
But e'er the mind could fully can
The beauties of the maid
A stately and majestic dame
In death hey cold form laid,
Then with her golden wand she struck
The blossoms from the trees,
And from the sunny plain she fan'd
The torrid summer breeze.
The feathered songsters of the vale
Joined in their tuneful lays
The lambkins on the mossy lawn
Engaged in vernal plays.
She bore a pearl vase with fruit
Of summers early moon,
Her robes of tissue, and her mien,
Betokened " smiling June."
And when I thought the dame had come
To lead me,through
Her fertile realms,
A sudden glom
My mind o'erwhelms
To find myself alone—
Not in that world
Of calm delight
Where ev'ry thing
Was pure and bright
But in my earthly Home.

Feminine Decorations in Different
The ladies in Japan gild their teeth,
and those of the. Indies paint them red.
The blackest teeth are considered_ the
most beautiful in Guzerat ; while in
Greenland the women color their faces
with blue and yellow. However fresh
the complexion of a Muscovite may be,
she would think herself very ugly if she
were not plasterd with paint. The
Chinese must have their feet as dimin
utive as those of she-goats ; and to make
them so, their youth is passed in the
torture of small women shoes.
In some countries mothers break the
noses of their children% and in others,
they pres the head between two boards
that it may become square. The modern
Persians have a strong aversion to red
hair. The Turkish women, on the con
trary, are warm admirers of it. The In
dian is . thickly smeared with beal-'s fat ;
and the female Hottentot receives from
the hand of her lover warm intestines
and reeking tripe, with which to decor
ate herself.
In China small eyes are not admired.
The Turkish ladies dip a gold brush in
the tincture of a black drug, which they
pass over their eyebrows, to cause them
to appear prominent, and they tinge their
nails with a rose color.
The female head dress is, in some
countries, singularly extravagant. The
Chinese fair one carries on her head the
figure of a bird : this bird is composed
of copper or gold, according to the
quality of the person; the wings, which
are spread out, fall over the front of the
head dress, and conceal the temples ; the
tail is long and open, and forms a beau
tiful tuft of feathers : the beak shades
the top of the nose, and the neck is'
fastened to the body by a spring., that
it may freely play, and undulate at the
slightest motion.
Bruce writes, as the climax of female
decorations, his description of the favor
ite queen of Senaar : "A ring of gold
passed through her under lip, and
weighed it down till it almost covered
her chin, leaving her teeth bare, which
were very small and very fine ; the in
side of her lip was blackned with anti
mony ; her ears reached down to her
shoulders, and had the appearance of
wings; there was a gold ring in each of
them, about five inches in diameter. and
'somewhat thinner than a man's little fin
ger ; the weight of this had drawn down
the hole where the ear was pierced so
that three fingers might easily pass
above the ring. Her neck was adorned
with a gold necklace of several rows, - one
above the other, to which were hung
rows of perforated sequins, and upon her
ankles were two rings of gold, larger
than those used for chaining felons."—
Another of the wives, in , addition to
these, "had chains coming from her ears
to the outside of each nostril, where
they were fastened. A ring was also
put through the gristle of her nose, and
it hung down to the opening of . her
mouth ; having altogether something of
the appearance of a horse's bridle."
A B UCKET o'FLoons.—A lady of York,
who has received the cognomen of the
Railway. Queen, is in the- habit of giving
fine parties to the inhabitants of that
city and its neighborhood. On one of
the occasions, wishing to show off a lit
tle before the magnates, her Majesty
called one of the servants, when the fol
lowing dialogue occurred : " John," said
her majesty. "Yes, ma'am," said the
servant. "Bring me a bucket," said the
Queen. "Yes ma'ain." John, as in
duty bound. instantly disappeared. On
his way down to the kitchen he began
to wander what her. Majesty could want
with a bucket; and wandering whether
he could not have been mistaken, con
sulted the other servants on the subject.
It was agreed, however, that her wishes
should be complied with ; and a bucket
was accordingly brought out. John fill
ed it with water, carried it up stairs, and
marching through the crowd in the draw
ing-room, much to the astonishment of
all present, placed it at her Majesty's
feet. " Here it is, ma'am, the bucket."
" Oh, you stupid fellow," said her Majes
ty, "it was not a bucket of water I
wanted ; it was a bucket o'floors." Her
Majesty, it is needless to say, had asked
for a—boquet.

GEN, FREMONT'S ENCAMPMENT.-A COT
, respondent from St. Louis, thus writes:
The General's head quarters are pleas
antly located on the side of a hill about
a mile back of this city. He occupies a
tent forming the apex of a triangle along
which those of his staff are ranged.
His wife and daughter were sitting in
the tent with him, apparantly intent en
the business in hand, whatever it might
have been. Mrs. Fremont, it must be
remembered, is "a whole team," to use a
cant phrase, herself, and takessas much
interest in the affairs of his department
as the General does himself. She is his
private secretary and confidential advis
er, and I don't believe he ever makes a
movement. or puts forth an important
document without her knowledge and
consent. She is a woman of strong in
dividuality and uncommon vigor of in
tellect, force of character, power of will,
and independence of thought and action.
She inherits all the original striking
traits which characterized her father,
Tom Benton. She has undoubtedly
furnished a good deal of power which
has enabled Fremont to climb to his
present elevation.
In personal appearance Mrs. Fremont
cannot be considered handsome, but has
a marked and impressive face. It is
large, fall; with high cheek bones, and
of rather masculine cast. Her eyes are,
gray, I think, and very intelligent and
vivacious in expression. Her hair, if I
mistake not, and ungallant as it is in
me to record it, is considerably tinged
with gray. In form she is large and
heavy; larger, I should say, and heavier
than her husband, whom, the reader is
doubtless aware, is quite a small man.
She and her daughter were both dressed
in plain black.
Miss Lilie Fremont, I believe, has
seen about seventeen summers, is much
smaller and slighter in figure than her
mother, but resembles her somewhat in
features,
.though decidedly more femi
nine. She- has light complection, grey
eyes, and a very sweet and amiable ex
pression. The lower part of her face
recedes rather too much to form a good
profile ; otherwise I should call her good
looking. She is said to make up in in
telligence, however, whatever she may
lack-in this respect. The camp is nam
ed after her. She and her mother: have
quarters just up on this hill above, and
the latter, who does not waste any su
perfluous time in sleep, has on one or
two occasions since her arrival made her
appearance at the General's tent before
he had yet waked to the consciousness
of the Secession rascalities of this wick
ed world.
Fremont has a son also with him, 15
or 15 years of age, who sports his juve
nile staff uniform and cavorts on his
spirited black pony. He struck me as
rather an unsophisticated and not very
bright-looking youth.
After a little, Mrs. and Miss Fremont
and the General came 'out, and while
the two former sat down by the side of
the tent, and Mrs. F. went to reading
the newspaper (she reads the paper reg-
Wary, and takes a deep interest in what
ever is said about her husband,) the Gen
eral strolled along the grassy slope and
chatted with the officers. The scene
was calculated to relieve the "grim-vis
age war" of some of his sterner and
more forbidding aspects.
Since I saw the General for the first
time, in Washington, some three months
ago, his hair and beard have grown rap
idly gray, and his face,. which was then
full, fresh, and so youth'ful as to surprise
me, has become shin, wrinkled and hag
gard. If my eyes do not deceive me—
and I do not think they do, he looks at
least ten years older than he did tlien.
AN HONEST OLD MAlD.—Nothing,in
my opinion, (says Dean Ramsey,) comes
up to the originality and point of the
Montrose old maiden lady's most "ex
quisite reason," for not subscribing to
the proposed fund for, organizing a vol
unteer corps in that town. It was at the
time of expected invasion at the begin
ning of the century, and some of the
town magistrates called upon her arid
solicited her subscription to raise men
for the'service of the king. " Indeed,"
she answered, right sturdily, " I'll dae
nae sic thing ; I never could raise a man
for mysel', and I'm no ga'en to raise men
for King George,"
Cr "Figures will not lie," is an old
and used to be well-credited saying.—
But the introduction of hoops, crinoline,
hips, bustles, and cotton breast-works
has played' the dickens with the proverb.

THE DEAD GAMESTER.- A very clarions
law case was recently before a German
court, arising from the following circum
stances : A gentleman sat at a faro
table in the town of Koethen, in Saxony,
playing with the usual attention and
silence. Several plays were made, and
the cards which the gentleman continu.,
ed, unchanged, to pat forward won re
peatedly. The gold pushed toward the
winner by the croupier, however, was
not drawn by him, and after several
more accumulations had made the pile
inconveniently large, that keeper of the
bank rather angrily requested the fortu
nate man to take his money. With his
eye fixed on the card, the player took
no notice of the request. " Draw in
your gold 1" was again uttered by several
round the table. No answer. Mon
sieur, yon incommode the other players!"
said the croupier. The same motion.
less silence. A person sitting next the
offender took hold of his hand. The
winner was dead. As the body was
being removed the croupier drew 'back
the money he had shoved toward the
dead body, alleging that the game based
upon reciprocal engagement& could not
exist between the dead and the living.
The heirs of the defunct presented them
selves the day after, declaring that the
winner had regularly commenced and
continued the game. The question was
carried before the tribunal of Koethen,
which decided that the heirs of the de- ,
ceased were entitled to his winnings:
THE BLAIR ARV FREMONT QUARREL.--
Col. Blair's charges and specifications
against Gen. Fremont are published.—
The charges include neglect of duty and
unofficerlike conduct disobedience of
orders, conduct, unbecoming an officer
abd a gentleman, extravagance and waste
of the public moneys, and despotic and
tyranical conduct. Among the specifi
cations are the alleged failure of Fre
mont to repair to St. Louis and enter
upon his duties—his neglect to reinforce
Lyon, Hecker and Mulligan—his suffer
ing Brig. Gen. Harlbutt, "a common
drunkard," to continue in command—
his refusing to see people who sought
his presence on matters of urgent busi
ness—his violation of Presidents' or
ders in the matter of his 30th of August
proclamation—his encouragement of offi
cers to hold meetings and write letters
for publication in praise of himself and
in denunciation of all who differ from
him—his persistency in keeping disre
putable persons in his employ, and his
unjust suppression of the St. Louis Even
ing News. There, are in all five charges
and twenty-two specifications. The
charges, against the General are of so
serious a character that it will be neces-.
sary to take official cognizance of them
but even this will not be done until the
Administration becomes satisfied that
nothing is to be gained to the Union
cause .by the retention - of Fremont in
Ina present position.,
THE ENVELOPE-LETTER.—The COM
bined envelope-letter, or letter-envelope,
which has just been prepared by the
government, is a most useful contrivance.
It presents us three separate things in
one, viz : a sheet of letter or note paper,
an envelope and a, post-stamp, all so
simply put together that any one may
use them with more ease than he would
the old envoloye. The advantages are;
first, that the whole costs less than the
materials would separately, thus effect
ing an important economy for those who
write many letters ; second, the stamps
cannot be stolen or rubbed off, which is
a matter of some consequende when we
remember that nearly a million of letters
are returned to the Dead Letter Office
annually that have suffered in this way;
third, the postmark is always on the
letter itself, which can therefore be used
in courts Of justice as a legal proof or
document, as to dates, contents, etc.; and
fourth, as the sheet, envelope and `stamp
are one, time and trouble are both saved
in conducting a heavy correspondence.
These are advantages which must com
mend them to general use. They can
be had, like the ordinary stamp, at the
various post offices.
A CROWING MATCH.—A new sport
has' been inaugurated in France, viz :
crowing matches between roosters. An
account is given of a late spirited con
test between ten large fowls and ten of
smaller breed. The Shanghais carried
away the palm. We,presume the quan
tity, and not the quality of the crowing
was regarded, for the crowing of a
Shanghai is about the fowlest noise
that can eminate from the poultry yard.

Frumps IN WiNE.—lt is claimed that
an abundant production of grape wine in
this country would alleviate the evils of
intemperance, by supplying a light, pure,
stimulating drink for the masses. This
does not seem to be the cause in France.
In Paris, and 'in Cette, in 'which are the
principal manufactories of fraudulent
wine, the business is carried on to an
enormous extent, and so perfect is the
imitation process, that the chemists can
no longer detect and expose the fraud.
A competent authority states, that it is
certain that there is not a drop of grape
in more than half the vast quantities of
wine drank by the people of Paris. Of
the many millions of bottles of wine
imported annually in this country, at
high rates, and drank under high sound
ing names, with rich smacking of lips,
it is morally certain that not one bottle
in a thousand is anything more than a
chemical concoction of alcohol and drugs
without a teaspoonful of grape juice in
a. hogshead.
an The allowance of clothing to our
soldiers is much greater than to soldiers
in European armies. Our troops get one
uniform coat and two sack coats a year,
and a pair of trousers every five mouths.
In the French army, the allowance for
three years is, only a tunic and three
pairs of trousers, while a shell jacket is
given every two years. In the Sardinian
and Belgian armies, the great coat is ex
pected to last eight years. But the
great durability of the clothing of En
ropean armies is easily accounted for
when we consider the care which is tak
en to insure good materials. Every
yard of cloth is subiectdd to very. min
ute and distinct examinations by tqards
of officers, assisted 4sy experts who weigh
it, shrink it, and examine it inah 4y.inch,
against a strong light. They also apply
chemical tests to detect the quality of
. .
the 'dye, and the manufactories are at all
times open to inspectors, who watch the
fabrication at every stage.
