A SONG. Sweetheart, good-byl Our varied day Is closing into twilight gray, And up from bare, bleak wastes of sea The storm-wind rises mournfully; A mystic prescience, strange and drear, Doth haunt the shuddering twilight air; ltfillls the earth, it chills the sky Sweetheart, good-by! Sweetheart, good-by! Oar joys are passed, And night with silence comes at last; AH things must end?yea, even love? Nor know we if, reborn above, The heart-blooms of our earthly prime Shall flower beyond these bounds of time. "Ah ! death alone is sure!" we cry Sweetheart, good-by! Sweetheart, good-by! Through mist and tears Pass the pale phantoms of our years, Once bright with Spring, or subtly strong When Summer's noontide thrilled with song; Now wan, wild-eyed, forlornly bowed, i^aoli rayless as an Autumn cloud Fading on dull September's sky Sweetheart, good-byI Sweetheart good-by! The vapors rolled Athwart yon distant, darkening world, Are types of what our world dotn know Of tenderest loves of long ago, And thus, when all is done and said, Our life lived out, our passion dead, What can their wavering record be But tinted mists of memory?" Oh! clasp and kiss me ere we die Sweetheart, good-by! PAUL H. HAYNE. A SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN MADRID. [From Appleton's Journal.] It was the last Sunday in last October. I had been invited to the almucrzo by the family of a wealthy merchant, whom I will call Eusebio Quisada. The custom of breakfast ing, a la francaise, between eleven and one o'clock, and to take the ?i?;?i 1 a A principal rneai ui tuc viny w?wu evening, is becoming more and more general in the larger Spanish cities, and among the better classes will soon be universal. The breakfast at Don Eusebio Quisada's had been very much pro longed. In listening to the viva cious chit-chat of the two charming daughters of my host, Inez and Estefania. I should have forsrotten to eat or drink, but for the prompt ing of Donna Manuela, the amiable hostess. At two o'clock we still eat over our cafe noir, which Este fania, the younger daughter, had served with unapproachable grace. Don Eusebio entertained us with a narrative of his travels in Asia, Minor and Egypt, which Inez con tinually interrupted with questions, that, to say the least, were very naive. t1 divided my attention be tween the interesting account of o ^ the father of what lie had seen 111 the East, and the dark eyes of the beautiful daughters. And so. we would have remained sipping our mocha and chatting until nightfall, if the more thoughtful mother had not interposed with her veto. 'I would suggest," said she, as Don Eusebio asked for his fourth cup, "that we ask senor to accom pany us on the Prado." "Or to the Plaza de Toros," amended Inez. "Or to both, seconded ii.steia nia. Don Eusebio, like a true Spanish cavalier, was ready to comply with any reasonable demand of the fair sex. Smiling, he rolled a fresh cigarette?the Spanish ladies never object to smoking in their presence ?and cast an inquiring glance in my direction. "I shall be right glad to accom pany you," said I, in the best Cas tilian at my command. "Nothing is more novel or can be more in teresting to us foreigners than the habits and customs of the people of your beautiful capital." "Well, then, let us go," said Don Eusebio, scratching a match. "But do you really want to go to the Toros!" lie asked, somewhat tle preeatingly. "Certainly, papa!" replied Inez. "Tlie last light of the season is to day. We won't remain till the end. After the fourth steer we will leave the Corrida, and walk for an hour or so in the'Prado." "Ami lp.t. ns fimoh +V10 /loir " ?" ""J J 1 posed Donna Manuela, '*by going to tlie Zarzuela Theatre. Don Er nesto shall see that Madrid 19 a little metropolis, if we do fall short of having, perhaps, one quarter of the population they have in the much praised French capital. I shall insist on your yielding to my proposition all the more, senor, as it will necessarily secure us. your company at dinner." "I am fortunate, senora, in being honored*with your commands," I replied, in as chivalric a tone as I was master of. "Have you ever witnessed a cor rida ?" inquired Inez. "Yes and no, senorita," I replied. J "I do not understand you." "A genuine bull-fight, a la espcu7 . nola, is not in the list of my experi ences. J saw in Havre, at the time of the Exposition Maritime, a mock corrida, which gave the spectator a tolerable idea of what the Spanish i original might be." ' A mock corrida ?" i- "Yes. The horns of the animals were rendered harmless by wooden balls that were securely fastened to their ends. And then the bulls * were not killed, but led back to their stalls to fight another day." Inez curled her lip scornfully. >. Such contests were clearly not to * her taste. "A corrida after the fashion o1 our tender-hearted neighbors, the Portuguese?a colorless corrida, senor! "Well, you shall see the difference between such a farce and a genuine life-and-death contest*" While the ladies withdrew to prepare for the street, I discussed with Don Eusebio the latest acts of the Cortes. My host, like all Span iards, took a lively interest in poli tics. He defended the course the government contemplated toward the Internationals with great warmth, and declared that theprin -!_1? _ ,1? j.^ J "Kt* 4-tin /l onnfx* cipies uuvyuaicu vj tuo u.\#puV Salmeron were the idlest nonsense that had fallen from tip lips of any Spaniard since they had gotten rid of Queen Isabella. He was in the midst of his har angue when the door at which the ladies had retired re-opened. The picture that presented itself sur prised as much as it pleased me. Of Donna Manuela's appearance I will say nothing, as she, being well nigh forty, like nearly all the wo men of Southern Europe of her age, had lost whatever she may have possessed in her youth of the pic turesque. But Inez and Estefania looked, as though they had been touched by a magic wand, that had 1 1 X * ~ n/lrlifiAnol itJIlli Ultllll II UUUULCU UUU1UU11UI charms. Their heads and shoulders were enveloped in black silk, lace I trimmed mantillas, over which were thrown open veils of the same color. In their delicate hands they held the inevitable fan?the -dangerous weapon of every genuine Spanish belle, without which she feels as widowed and orphaned as a cadet without his sword. And with what bewitching grace they wield it! Every word, every movement re ceived an additional meaning from .1 i *ii/? 1 il tne SKiinui use mey iuuk.u ux uiu ventaUe. Inez, the elder and gen tler, was not so throughly mistress of this language of signs as her sister;, and yet, had Estefania been absent, I should have thought her gestures were as pregnant with sig nificance, and as graceful, as it would be possible to make them. In Spain the mantilla is still a distinguishing characteristic of the national dress. In Rome one seeks in vain after the remains of former modes peculiar to the Peninsula. The toilets ot tiie ladies who, every afternoon, visit the heights of Monte Pincio, differ but very slightly from the costume of the elegant ladies of Paris. In Spain, 011 the con trary, all the women, from seam stress to princess, wear the mantilla. Bonnets and hats, in spite of the endeavors of the tradesmen, are rarely seen. All efforts to make them fashionable have, thus far, failed. "We took a coach and drove across the Puerta del Sol, the prin cipal square of the Spanish capital, to the arena before the Alcaja Gate. Right and left surged an indescrib able mass of amusement seekers. A bright, dark-blue sky lent to the variegated, noisy scene a character peculiarly Southern. On bright days the atmosphere about Madrid is remarkably clear and transparent. Thfi farm nuri f.nlnr of nhier.fa mav be distinguished at great distances. Don Eusebio led tne way through the eager crowd to one of the more eligible boxes. Estcfania anci her lather took the front and less com fortable seats?sbe to be the better seen, he from courtesy?while Don na Manuela, Inez and I formed tho reserve. The corrida began. ' The screen opened, and discovered the first victim. The bull, apparently a good-natured fellow, looked about with an air of surprise, shaking his head as though he did not under stand what was demanded of him. The spectators set up a deafening cry, but the animal treated it with silent distain. "lie's a cowardly wight!" said Estefania, throwing back her veil and glancing at me. "Poor fellow! he is not pleased with the prospect," I replied. "No wonder. I should not like to be in his place." Estefania laughed. "You will see," said she, "that he will not keep his temper long." And, indeed, the chnlos now be gan a series of offensive demonstra tions well calculated to excite the indignation 01 any animal not whol ly lost to all sense of self-respect. The scene reminded me of a lot of school boys intent on teasing their master. When they had fiually succeeded in getting the poor ani mal furious, one of the yicadores rang forward and gave him a thrust in the shoulder, which Este fauia assured me, clapping, her hands, was a master-piece of grace. This was more than his bullship would tamely submit to. He as sumed the offensive, and in a trice he buried his horns to the roots in the sorry steed of his antagonist. When the chubs, turned the enraged animal in another direction, the horse presented a frightful specta cle; his entrails protruded from the wound. lie still kept his feet, but trembled in every limb with pain and fear. This beginning seemed to be en tirely satisfactory to the assembled multitude, for they expressed their content by a deafening round of applause. Estefania was delighted. Sne laughed in her most silvery tone. Donna Manuela was more moderate; she looked down into the arena with the air of one to whom such scenes were no longer a novelt}7, and of a connoisseur! ? The gentle Inez alone seemed to tl id no pleasure in witnessing what is passing before us. Two grooms, by dint of hard ow8, urged the unfortunate horse to a trot. In the meantime the ulos had directed the attention of e enraged bull again to his bleed er victim. Again he was gored, ae picador escaped by springing the ground as the horse fell to eathe his last. The bull revelled his quivering flesh for a few mo ents, ana tnen turnea towara tne cond picador, whose horse met th the same fate as that of the at. Estefania's eyes shone with a mdrous lustre, but, in spite of a marvellous beauty of the picture e presented, there was something her expression that was repel at. "How could lovely woman," isked myself, "delight in witness g such a scene ?" "I hope you are amused," said e, with an ironical smile. "To leave Madrid without wit issing a bull-fight," I replied, vould be as inexcusable as to go Rome without visiting the Yati n. For a stranger, an hour in e arena is not less interesting an instructive; but that does not event my wondering how 'any sople can get amusement out of ch butchery." "Ah, the old story^ You are a ntimentalist, I see." "By no means, senorita. I would :cuse your corridas, if they were al battles between fairly-matched >mbatants; but to expose defence ss horses to the horns of an infu ated bull is repugnant to my sthetic as well as to my moral nse. ' A contest between two [ually strong and equally well med antagonists may be an inter ting exhibition of skill, but the aughtering of the defenceless is to e. under all circumstances, re 9 7 ilsive, even if the victim be only Rosinante." "You are right, senor," said Inez. [ like well enough to see the pacta, at the risk of his life, thrust s sword into the neck of the bull, it the scene with the picadores I ive never cared to witness." This declaration from the lips of Spanish woman surprised me, and eatly increased the impression lc had already made on me for mtleness and kindness of heart, o ask a Madrileha to feel no ad iration for the feats of the espadas ould be too much; these fellows m mAi*a 1 i Kir Mo/lwrl g lilVA V UVUI/4VU uj tuv lUUUl 1U dies than are the heroes of the jera. When the motley-colored butcher jpeared on the scene with his iarp Toleclo blade, Inez's apathy lickly disappeared. A very few mutes elapsed before the shining ade was thrust to the hilt in the jck of the toro. Hot blood flowed om the fatally wounded animal's outh and nostril's. A spasmodic embling shook Ms frame for a oment; he reeled, rnd fell dead i the ground. Inez was delighted. Estefania lought the animal had been dis pelled too quickly. She now be ime so absorbed in what was going i in the arena that tor me she had lly an occasional ironical smile, was not till after the fourth tight, id we had left the arena, that she rain honored me with her conver sion. We now turned toward the beau ful Prado, the pride of the Spanish ipital. The Prado is for Madrid hat the Grande Avenue is for aris, the Cascine for Florence, the ilia Uazionale for Naples, and the LUl'UUS X MAO, IKJL * X UC rado is most frequented on Sun xy afternoons. In Paris and most ;her cities it is considered plebeian > visit the promenades on Sundays, ot so in Madrid. Here, between le hours of three and six in the iternoon, all classes may be fount! rgely represented on the Prado, le aristocracy as well as the hour oisie; consequently, Sunday, of all :iys in the week, one can see most r Madrid society in a given spacc f time. Strangely enough, a Spanish lady 3ry rarely takes the arm of her ivalicr. \Vhile in Paris, for ex nr>lc. almost everybody ffoes arm i-arm, in Madrid scarcely anybody Des. The reason is, probably, mt, were the Madrilena to Jean 11 the arm of her cavalier, her raceful figure would be shown to iss advantage, and, furthermore, le can manipulate her fan more racefully and effectively when both ancls are at liberty. "Here comes the king!" cried lez, suddenly. We all looked toward the car age road. In an open landau, drawn by two eautiful black horses, sat his ma sty Don Amadeo I. beside hie ecidedly stout yet handsome con >rt. It was only just a year since met the then Italian prince, in lorence, as he was driving about, taking his covgc visits preparatory 1 - ^ \? - v mmrm A ?vs ? ?

The .promenaders saluted the ing Very respectfully, but there -ere no such rounds of vivas as reet Prince Humbert when he lows himself in Rome. Estefania called my attention to je fact that the queen had adopted the mantilla, and intimated that her majesty had probably done no in the belief that it would do some thing toward making her popular. As she is a sensible woman, it is probable that she has done so in tVia Violiof tVvof wViila oKoiain Mod. rid, she Bhould do as the Madri lenas do. * For an hour we strolled through the alleys, which are very like the alleys of the promenade grounds of other large cities. The sun was nearly down before the ladies sug gested that it was time to turn our steps homeward. The ever-varying picture the proraenadere presented seemed-to interest them not less than it did me, to whom the scene was new,' and in many respects uovel. We passed through the Calle Alcala, a wide street planted with trees, that reminds one somewhat of the Boulevard St. Michel, Paris, .? i i r< i /* i*i. to the ruerta aei 001, irom wmcn a walk of five minutes brought us to the elegant residence ot Don Eusebio, in the Calle del Avenal. The dinner was excellent and abundant, even to profusion. The Spaniard, warm as his climate is, if he can afford it, is a good liver. When tlie comida was over, we drove, in accordance with our pro gramme, to the Zarzuela Theatre. But I should not omit mentioning that, for this "purpose, the ladies again retired to change their toil ets. "When they re-appearecl, their snofv-white shoulders rose in vo luptuous fullness hteh above their flillrftn rnhes. nnrl 't.hpir Inner, rnst ling trails recalled to my mind the days when these appendages of the belles of Castile were borne by Moorish pages. "A more beautiful model for a Salome. the imagination conld not picture," said I to myself, as Este fania, brilliant as the eveniug star, entered the room. The performance at the theatre was not especially edifying. The piece was a vaudeville of the most antiquated description, the heroine as ugly as a crow, and the hero a? hoarse as a raven. ITeverthelesa, ] was most agreeably entertained bji > ^ . . . 1 il . dividing my attention oetween tnc audience and the charming sisters, whom I found by comparison tc hold a high place among the Mad rid beauties. Inez pointed out an} number of notable people, giving me* an idea in a word or two ol what distinguished Them from th< many. None of the occupants oi the better parts of the auditoriurr seemed to pay any attention tc ' what was going on beyond th( foot-lights; everybody foijnd ampl< employment in looking at every body else* Estefania was a target for th< ' opera glasses of any number o drawing room lions, whose glancei i did not, however, so far as I coulc discover, make her feel at all un - comfortable.

Rubber will not last one-fcmrih as long as leather.^ When once it begins to give out, it is next to im Eossible to repair it ; while wide ands cannot be used for or cut up into narrow ones, as leather ones can be. Leather belts may be used over and over again, and,-when of no further value for belts, can be sold for other purposes. A rubber band, costing hundreds of dollars, may be spoiled in a few moments by the lacing giving out, and f.hfl hand Vipincr mn off intn the gearing, or by being caught in any manner so as to damage the edge, or by stoppage of either the driving or driven pulley. A few moments of quick motion or friction will roll off the gum from the canvas in such quantities as to spoil the band, while leather belts may be torn or damaged, yet are easily repaired. Should a rubber or gum belt begin to tear by being caught in the machinery, if the rent strikes the seam, it is most certain to fol low it, even the entire length, if the machinery is not stopped. It would be impossible to tear leather in like manner. Oil in contact with' rubber belt ing will soften the gum; and rub ber, gutta percha, and canvas belts will continue to stretch as long as in use, rendering it necessary to shorten them continually. During freezing weather, if mois ture or water finds its way into the seams, or between the different layers of canvas composing these Vvnr\/lfl An/1 AM Al/\nAM A uauuo, auu ucfumco ilu&vUj tuc layers are torn apart, and the band is spoiled; or if a pally becomes frosty, the parts of bands in contact with it will be torn off from the canvas and left on the pulley. Also, gum belts will not answer for cross or half cross belts, for shifting belts, cone pulleys, or for any place where belts are liable to slip, as friction destroys them. A well made leather band, if properly looked after?the width and pulley surface proportional to the amount of work to be done? will last twelve, fifteen or twenty years, and yet be of value to work over into narrow belts.?Scientific A mpriorrn I ' f All Right.?How many of us i but use the expression a dozen f times a week, and have it stick in l the throat, at least half of them ? > It is coming to be a hypocritical i appendage of business and social 5 intercourse.

President Juarez was buried in. the same cemetery where lies the body of ex-President Miramon, shot by his orders at Querataro. It is worth notiping that Juarez, who had doomed so many men to sud den death, died at last almost as suddenly as though he had been shot by a vindictive bullet. Maxi millian ; the brilliant, reckless Mi ramon ; Vidawon, the ablest Mexi can general of the present genera tion, and Mejia, the grim Indian, who remained faithful to the Em peroi when, men of better reputa tion betrayed him, yjere only a few of the victims whose death warrant Juarez signed. Whatever may be said in favor of Juarez, however much his energy, patriotism and indomitable will may be praised, he Was certainly as merciless as the most vindictive Indian on the plains. His successor is evidently a very different sort of man, for his first act has been to grant an amnesty to all but two of the ad herents of the fallen empire. No Ice.?Ice is still regarded in Europe as a luxury, only attainable by the wealthy. Its use in English households as an article of aaily consumption jg unknown, and even among the more expensive class of hotels, ice is used sparingly and in small quantities.
