to me, darling. I'm lonely without
time and night time I'm dreaming
about thee;
sight twna and day time in dreams I behold
theo,
Tnvrelcome the waking which ceases to fold
thee.

| Cease in thy beauty to bless and to brighten;
f€ome in thy womanhood, meekly and
[ iowlj •
j Come in thy lovinguess, queenly and holy.
Swullotra shall flit round the desolate ruin,
| Telling of Spring and its joyous renewing,
! And thoughts of thy love and its manifold
""Ipwifa,
Are circling my heart with * promise of
pleasure.
Oh' Spring of my spint, oh I May of my
bca&m,
Shine oat on my soul till it burgeon and
blossom;
The waste of my life has a rose-root within it,
And thy fondness alone-to the sunlight can
win it
Figure which moves like a song through
the evee; , ^
Features lit up with a reflex of teamen,
Eyes like the skies of poor Erin, our
mother,
Where sunshine and shadows are chasing
each other. "
Smiles coming seldom, but child-like and
simple,
And opening their eyes from the heart of a
ilimole,
Oh \ thanks to the Saviour that even thy
seeming
Is left to the exile to brighten his dreaming.
You hare been giad when you knew I was
gladdened:
Dew, are you sad now to hear I am sad-
dened?
Our liearts ever answer in tune and in time,
love, - • -iV-
As octave to octave, or rhyme unto rhyme,
kre;
I cannot smile, but your cheeks will be
glowing?
Yon cannot weep, but my tears will be
Sowing; * j
Yon will not linger when I shall hare died,
love. -
And I could not live without yon by my
side, love.
Come to me, darling, ere f die of my sor-
row,
Rise on my gloom like the sun of to-mor-
row, . 6' .
Strong, swift and fond as the words which I
speak, love,
With a song at your Hp, and a smile on your
cheek, love: .
Come, tor my heart in your absence is

Haste, for my spirit ia sickened and weary;
Come to the arms which alone shall caress
thee;
Opme to the heart which is throbbing to
press thee.
sidered stylish. The bnckskin
gauntlets, always popular with
Southern ladies for traveling and
riding, cost $1 50 and $2 50. A
more desirable and attractive
glove is the castor gauntlet, for
i 13^ stone gray, with the wide cuff,
lined with white kid. For evening
wear, hale straw color is the fash-
ionable shade for ladies; for gen-
tlemen, the most recherche is the
delicate lavender; excepting for
weddings, these pale tints are pre-
ferred to white.
Warm weather has brought into
popularity the Newport tie, which
is a very cool and comfortable
shoe; it is made of kid and mo-
rocco, with low, broad heels; it
costs from $2 50 to $4. All the
fine shoes are plain black, no
stichings or ornaments allowed;
the buttoned kid shoe is the favor-
ite style, but laced shoes sell for
50 cents a pair less.
In hosiery there is a fancy for
striped stockings; they are white,
with lines of blue, buflj crimson or
brown, and are worn in the house
or country with the low shoes.
Very fine, open-worked stockings
are shown; also, silk stockings, of
blue and other colors.
The Mediei collarette is of plain
silk, in the form of a gentleman's
collar, it is madeover a stiff lining;
inside is placed a tulle ruche, made
in wide box-pleats, which is aky-
lookingand becoming; these ruf-
fles are now generally adopted in
preference to collars. The Empress
shape, with wide flowing points,
and forming a square on the
bosom, is the fij^Qrite lace collar.

The Florida Palmetto hat has
taken the place of the rough
straws, formerly so much in vogue
for sea-side and summer wear.
They have the advantage of being
lighter, and, in their improved
form, are more becoming to youth-
ful faces; for such fanciful, jaunty
chapeaux should be avoided by
ladies of a certain age, which,
Byron says, means " certainly
aged." When first introduced the
Florida hats were trimmed with
grasses and sugar-cane feathers;
this to cultivated tastes was not
an attractive head-gear. Even the
trip which they were represented
as having taken to Paris, after
leaving their Florida homes, die.
not convert them into "things of
beauty." French taste has now
come to the rescue, and Paris mil-
liners line the Palmetto with a silk
of delicate hue, finish the edge of
the brim with a ruche, and cover
the outside almost entirely with
mchings of crepe-lisse; in the
back they kaot the ribbon, and
leave flowing ends.
The wide brimmed Leghorn hat
which has enjoyed a long reign of
popularity with people of qniet
taste, who are not carried away fey
the rage for novelties, like the
Dolly Yarden and other prownee
fashions, has reappeared in attrac-
tive form; the rim is bent low on
the hair, like the Marie Stuart hat,
an ostrich feather carls from the
crown over the dent, the brim is
lined with colored silk and some-
times caught up on one side; rib*
boas and a trailing spray of flow-
ers complete the trimmings.
The steeple crown hat, very
high, and, generally speaking, very
unbecoming, particularly to long
faces, is considered one of the iiov
elties of the season. The side is
turned up against the crown, and
the brim is bound with silk, with
a piping of velvet. A bias fold of
silk is placed around the crown
and upright loops of ribbon adorn
the turned up side, a long willow
ostrich plume flows back from an
aigrette.
For little girls, under the age
of eight, the Normandy cap is the
prevailing style. It is made of
Swiss muslin, lined with colored
silk, the crown is high and the
trimming consists of lace and in
sertkm, the face is finished with a
frill of lace, and a band of ribbon
or velvet goes around the crown
and ends in a bow tied in front.
Sweet baby feces look only lovlier
in this quaint little cap, bat we
protest against the questionable
taste that fashionable mothers dis-
play in having French nurses to
accompany the wee ones dressed
in a similar head gear. Too fre-
the "Fcench" nurse
! speaks with an ac
cent that savors more strongly of
Ireland than Paris, and the ca
that sits so jauntily on the hew
of thecoquetish, dark-eyed peasant
of Normandy, ill becomes the
ruddy face of Erin's daughter
Fashion sanctions many follies,
but none more glaring than this
"French" nurse furore that refines
to recognise the fitness of things.
The fashionable veil for morn-
ing use is light grey crape, with
silk fringes knotted in the border,
it is a vast improvement on the
glossy grenadine, for-it has the
effect of softening the complexion.
Green grenadine veils have been
adopted by a few ladies for trav-
eling, it is thought by many to be
superior to either the brown or blue
for protecting the skin from the
rays of the sun.
Lisle thread gloves for demi-
toilette are manufactured this year
with long wrists, fastened by two
or three buttons; they cost from
60 cents to $1; undressed kids, in
almost neutral tints, to suit the
costumes of almond buff and the
natural gray of the flax, are con

will "Go West" without any

high sounding name of Tonzel-
tone, is to be her photographer,
and he's ordered a camera from
Geneva for the purpose, and the

attend, half price.
Stanley of the Herald has been

the Galveston News, will have a
balloon sanitarium a mile high, to
afford people of balloon ideas—and
Galveston has a good many—a
chance to greet Yenus, as she goes
gilmmering over the Gulf.
Sweet water is to be pumped

for the gas generator for the bat

Husbands will be at home early
during transit, and young men
will have special invitations to
attend sweetheart duties, during
sometime. •
Attorney General Williams has
notified the authorities at London
and Liverpool, that no passports,
during transit of Yenus, will be

The Chicago Times will write up

It's to btf a big thing anyhow,
and we want to see it all.
She will transit about a year
from now, but it is a good thing
to be ready.
I haven't learned whether she
will visit Houston or not.
She will probably "telegraph"
it, and Hardcastle, of the Age,
will find it out in '86, if the local
duties of the Age don't put him in

The salt mines discovered in the
Teche country, Louisiana, during
the late civil war, are now being
worked while the surface is cov-
ered With growing sugar cane,
The bed, estimated to contain
ninety million tons of pure solid
rock salt, is located on an island
of 300,000 acres, rising 180 feet
above a salt marsh. Access is ob-
tained to this island by a steam-
boat line running between Brash-
ear City and New Iberia. The soil
is composed of sand, loam, gravel
and clay, and the surface is par-
tially covered with magnolia, live
oak, cypress, maple, locust, gum,
walnut and fruit bearing trees.
The vegetation resembles that of
a rich prairie, and the scenery is
varied and beautiful. Access to
the interior of the salt mines is
obtained by an elevator, running
up and down a forty foot shaft,
cut through the solid material.
Hie width of the vein is 120 feet,
and the visitor is surrounded on
all sides by rock salt, as dry as
powder. The absence of moisture
is one of the most striking pecu-
liarities, and the icon and steel
implements used are quiet bright.
Two large chambers have been
cut out of the vein.
she sought for that peddler, found
him in Salem, and recovered her
treasure. We might offer a moral,
but it would be of no use.
Women who hide bank-books in
rag-bags are beyond the reach of
all the morals in the world.
AN ORDINANCE
For the (Government of the Market*
the City of Houston, Texas.
,ln the time of the excellent Cot-
ton Mather the rules of the Sab-
bath were sharply defied, and if
any person erred in the matter of
unseemly behavior it was not for
lack of direction. But in these days
days opinions as the conduct com-
manded by Holy Writ vary, and
scarcely two people keep the sev-
enth day in the same way. One
point, however, is decided for us
authoritatively by a Virginia
Court. It pronounces a " clean
shave" on Sunday before church
tb be, not only allowable, but ne
cessary, and therefore a kind of
preparatory religious rite. All
this being conceded, it rules that
barbers he permitted to practice
tfieir art on any and every Sab-
pjpth. The good old Puritans

while she passes, and su
that Congress take a recess

man has been engaged to write
up her visit at thai place aad at
Springfield; and Hudson, of the
Cleveland Leader, will
nus with his new cat annihilstor.
No "carpers" will be allowed m
Wan
phians are requested to Sit m
silence while she transits. The
British Museum will send seven of
her ugliest members to see her off,
and the London Times, her polit-
ical writer, to get her status in
that very important feature. Geo.
Francis Train will be there to
snffer and die, as it may please
her, and he won't go out on Bail,
even if she insists. Pratt and
Nasby are to do the mail business,
and Marble, of the World has de-
tailed Geo. Alfred Townsend to
lemonade her transit. Four girls
from Titusville, Pa., will stand at
the north end of the Indian Archi-
pelago, and stop four of the hand-
somest men who may be in the
company. They'll catch Van
Horn, of Corsicana, sure. —
The Pullman palace car "Ca-
nary" will be put in balloon and
offered her, and old Pull himself
will conductor it during transit.
The Russian Government, under
advice of the Alexis, who was
here a few months since, has de-
tailed six regiments of cavalry to
keep Mars and lesser stars oat of>
the way. A bribe of seventy
thousand rubles has been appro-
priated for this purpose, and if
this won't keep Mars quiet, they
have orders to punch him. The
Czar is very pointed in his re-
marks ou this subject.
The smoked glass men are in
anguish since they have found out
that Yenus has given orders that
they will be excluded from the
ground. These orders laid them
out in the morgan of poverty, and
there's wailing iff their families.
Kalamazoo, Michigan, says she
sha'n't come that way. The .wo-
men say the men have too many
Venuses now, and this new one
sha'n't come. There's a female
college out there. I can't blame
the Kalamazoo married ladies, nor
find fault with such intense moral
ity, though I confess that a little
Wickedness mixed with the good
makes me believe it easier. I
don't cry easy, but such evidences
of goodness makes me blubber up
too fhll to hold.

satisfied with her bargaia until
she remembered that in order to
guard against thieves and rob-
bers, she had secreted in the bag
two bank-books, notes, and so forth,
to the value of about $4000. But

been she was luckier than she
