One morning when spring was in her teens A morn to a poet's wishing, All tinted in delicate pinks and greens Miss Bessie and I went fishing. 1 in my rough and easy clothes, With my face at the sun tan's mercy; She with her hat tipped down to her nose, And her nose tipped-vice versa. I with my rod, my reel, and my hooks, And a hamper for lunching recesses; She with the bait of her comely looks, And the seine of her golden tresses. ( So we sat us down on the sunny dike, Where the white pond-lilies teeter, And I went to fishing like quaint old Ike, And she like Simon Peter. t All the morn 1 lay in the light of her eyes, And dreamily watched and waited; But the fish were cunning, and would not rise, And the baiter alone was baited. And when the time for departure came, My bag hung flat as a flounder; But Bessie had neatly hooked her game A hundred-and-fifty-pounder. MRS. GOOC'S TONGUE. 0 If Mrs. Gooch had been born deaf and dumb she might have been a happier woman. She often said so herself. The trouble that long tongue of hers had got her into no one knew-no one could know but herself. No matter how important a secret was, it was im possible for her to keep it. And she did not even make a pretence of confiding only in her dearest friends, as some women do. She was as likely to pour her confi dences into the bosom of the merest stranger. Even as a child she had done so. So that there could not be a family tiff, a question of economy, a bill overdue, or a little comfortable back-biting of friends in the do mestic c1rcle, but, all the world knew it at once. Tilly Sme that was Mrs. Gooch's maiden name-told everything, and told it to everybody. After childhood had passed, and Tilly, being pretty, found herself the object of admiration in several quarters, it was exactly the same. Tilly was "engaged" to five different young men before Mr. Gooch came along, and her love affairs came to an untimely end by reason of her chattering each time. Mr. Gooch, a wvise, serious, Si lent man profitted by the trou bes of his predecessors, and wise ly told Tilly nothing which he did not desire to have repeated. There fore they came, at last, to their wedding day, and the long-suffer ing parents, sisters, brothers, and other relatives of long-tongued Tilly saw her transferred to anoth - er home with sensations of relief. Not that Tilly was not a good girl, but that the presence of a sort of private detective at the fire side was scarcely agreeable. In her newv abode Mrs. Gooch became comparatively harmless. She told all the news as before, but the small, proper household had no secrets whatever. Bills were regularly paid. The tra ditional mother-in-law lived forty miles away. Mr. Gooch kept his business affairs strictly to himiself, and was what old-fashioned peo ple call "a good provider." Con sequently, Mrs. Gooob found her self forced back on the delinquen cies of the laundress and the evil deeds of Bridget, the cook, for her conversation, and peace reigned in the household of the Gooches. But, alas! upon an evil day Mr. Gooch had a falling out with his business neighbor, Mr. Chubb, the grocer, who would persist in fill ing up the pavement under Mr. Gooch's office windows with boxes; barrels, bags and other articles in no way connected with real estate. Hard words passed, and in his ex citement Mr. Gooch told the facts to his wife. In the course of the next day that well-meaning, but indiscreet, lady had spread the tale over the whole town, not omitting the statement that Mr. Gooch, in kicking a box of tea from his premises had put his foot through it, and was obliged to pay for the tea, which was gath ere up in the mean-while by sov ral beggar boys and women and arried away. Moreover, that he had also split is boots in his efforts. Gooch's friends joked him; his nemies sneered. Gooch know the roccr to be taciturn aud reLicent. is wife had betrayed him. That ay he meditated. At tea time O did not return to his domicile s usul. Eight o'clock came; ine, ten. Mrs. Gooch felt alarm. d, and cried a little, but at half ast ten the door opened and rooch came in. He w ore a very olemn countenance, and merely oddod to her, and walked up to he fire, where he stood warming is hands. Never before in his wedded life ad Mr. Gooch neglected the kiss >f elcome. Mrs. Gooch looked at him in urprise, and having taken the ea pot from its warming place ipon the hearth, said softly: 'You're late, dear.' 'Yes.' said Gooch. 'Nothing unpleasant, I hope,' aid Mrs. Gooch. 'Deuced unpleasant," responded ooch. 'Oh! what is it?' said Mrs. ooch stealing up to her hus )and and putting her hand on his bhoulder. 'That's a secret,' said Gooch. You know what a long tongue ou have, Tilly.' Tilly sighed. 'It's a dreadful thing,' said ooch. 'Ugh, I can't think of it vith calmness. Give me a cup of ea, Tilly. Dear! dear! dear!' He took his seat at the table, wallowed the tea his wife poured )ut for him, and stared at the wall )ehind her, with such a horror tricken look, that she twice turn )d to see what he could be look ng at; on which occasions Mr. ooch remarked: 'No-no ; there's nothing there, Eilly.' Had Mr. Gooch gone mad ? as it possible that Mr. Gooch ad gone mad ? Mrs. Gooch al nost feared that this was so ; for L- soon as he had swallowed his npper he retired without a word. Mrs. Gooch soon followed his example, but sleep did not visit 1er pillow. Mr. Gooch groaned Loud and muttered unintelligibly. 'My dear, what is the matter ?' ;ighed Mrs. Gooch. 'Oh, dear, dear, dear !' said Mr. Toch. 'Do tell me,' said Mrs. Gooch. 'You'll never tell ?' said Gooch, olemnly in the darkness. 'Oh, no, no,' said Mrs. Gooch. 'Well,' said Mr. Gooch. 'I've killed Chubb, the grocer. Pbat's w hat kept me so late. Oh, lear!' 'lie is mad,' said poor Mrs. 3ooch. 'No, I'm not, Tilly !' said Mr. Iooch. 'No, I'm not ! Indeed I'm ot ! He came into my office ubout that tea, you know ; and I ;ot angry and we had words, and -well, he'd brdught his cheese ~nife with him, and when he allcd me a rascalIjust jabbed it .nto him.' 'O0!' shrieked Mrs. Gooch. 'Well, there he was, dead, you know!I' said Mr. Gooch, 'and mur ir is a hanging matter. So 1 pelt must hide it. I just stepped >ut and got a barrel-an empty potato barrel. Ah ! how often we'd quarreled about it-and brought it into the office, and let down the blinds and tried to stuff him into it. But Chubb is fat was fat, I mean-and-' 'I shall die !' moaned Mrs. Gooch. 'Don't make any noise, Tilly !' said Gooch, i an awful whisper, 'I ad to cut him into chunks, like pork, you know, to got him in.' 'Oh ! Ah !' moaned Tilly. 'Then there was the floor to scrub, and sinking the barrel in the cistern,' said Gooch ; 'that old cisern that is never used, you know. It was dreadful. And Chubb's ghost standing just be hind you all tea time. No won der I'm not myself, Tilly.' But he said no more. Tilly was in hysterics. Poor Tilly Gooch ! She sat alone next day, after her husband had gone to hi' office and felt hat the world had been turned opsy-turvy. Here was a secret Lhat sbe dared not breathe to any >re. Certainly it would kill her. Dh! she must tell her mother. Her mother would know what de pended on silence. She would be true. And then, so.mewhat com rorted, Tilly put on her hat, tied a vail over her eyes, and 'ran over' to the parental mansion. In just ten minutes after her entrance old Mrs. Smee knew all about the murder, and was shak ing from head to foot, and ejacula ting wildly. 'Oh! dear, they'll hang him! Oh! dear, they'll hang him on the gallows! Oh ! dear-what a dreadful thing ! Oh! how wicked! Oh! poor Mr. Chubb! Oh !' At the sound of her mother's cries the eldest sister of the fam ily, Miss Maria Smee, rushed in, and demanded explanation. 1 can't tell; I can't tell," sobbed Mrs. Smee. 'Oh, Maria, you are my friend,' sobbed Tilly. 'You wouldn't be tray us.' And out came the story again. Now, Karia Smee was nervous, and given to shrieking when ter rified, and as soon as she had heard the a,%ful facts she began to utter shriek after shriek, each shriller and more prolonged than the last. The windows were open; neigh bors heard and rushed in. The house was in commotion. No one knew what had happened, and some one sent for the family doctor. The doctor came. He was a wise, benignant old gentleman, and he questioned Mrs. Gooch kindly. 'Something has agitated Mrs. Smee and Miss Maria ?' he said. 'Yes,' said Mrs. Gooch. 'And you are trembling, too,' said the doctor. They were alone in a little room, whither he had led her to question her, and Mrs. Gooch culd not restrain her tongue. 'Oh, doctor,' said she, 'you wouldn't w onder if you kne w all. Don't toll any one.' And then and there she told him all. Mean while the ear of the 'up-stairs girl' was at the keyhole. 'My dear, my dear, this is hor rible!l' said the doctor. 'You can't expect me to keep a secret like that. Compound a murder ! Be a sort of accomplice after the fact! I can't ! I can't ! iNot if it were my own son.' Mrs. Gooch screamed, and Bid. dy Haggerman left the keyhole and ran to the police office. There she made a statement of the facts of the case. Chubb had been murdered. Mr. Gooch mur dered him. The grocer's remains were in a barrel in the old cistern behind the real estate office. She had all the particulars. .Justice Spruce was an energetic man. In half an hour two stout policemen were on their way to arrest Mr. Gooch, who shortly was led through the streets to ward the station, followed by a crowd of boys, and stared at from the windows. Justice Spruce was an old friend of Gooch's. He advanced to meet him. 'Gooch,' he said, 'I regret the part I've been obliged to take in this affair. I hope it will prove a ridiculous mistake. I hope you did not tell Mrs. Gooch that you had murdered Mr. Chubb, and that his remains were packed in a barrel in your cistern ?' 'I did, though,' said Gooch. 'I don't deny it. May I see my wife in your presence before I am sent to prison ?' This privilege having been ac corded, Mrs.. Gooch was sent for. She arrived in the cab, a mere wisp of~ misery ; her hair dis hevelled, her collar unpinned, her eyes and nose swollen. With hier came all her relatives and half the town. Gooch stood before his misera ble wife and looked at her with a queer expression on his face. 'I confided an awful secret on which my life depended, to your wifely bosom, Tilly,' he said, 'and you betrayed me.' 'Oh, my dear! Oh! my dear!' moaned Mrs. Gooch. 'I didn't man to Oh, please hang me, Mr. Spruce. It's my fault. Let him go. I did it. Oh, oh, oh !' The ladios of the Smee family wept, spectators shook their heads. At this instant somebody was heard saying: 'Lot me get through, folks;' and in an instant more a bulky form appeared be fore the justice, who stared at it in an astonishment. 'I jest come back from market,' said the new-coner, cheerfully, 'and I hear I'm murdered and packed into a tater barrel, down Mr. Gooch's cistern. Now me and Gooch did have some words, but I hain't mean enough to. want him hung for murdering me so long as I ain't murdered, nor no attempt been made. Who has cir culated this here story ? How de do Gooch ? All right, now.' 'Well,' said Gooch, 'it's Mrs. Gooch has been telling it, I be lieve ; but I told her. I just wanted to see how long a woman's tongue really was. Now I know.' 'Shameful. Come home with me, daughter,' cried old Mrs. Smee; but Tilly put her h%nd un der her husband's arm and they went home together. 'You won't publish the next secret I confide to you, will you, Tilly?' asked Mr. Gooch. Tilly said nothing. 15ze1{hIutcu5. FoR THE HERALD. SARATOGA STYLES. Ribbon Bows and Flowers-Costumes-Arche ry-New Designs-Hair Dressing. BOWS AND FLOWERS. Perhaps the most effective orna mentation is that consequent on the employment of ribbon bows, to say no thing of the coquettish belt to match. These bows are placed anywhere and everywhere and the results are as charming as can be. And yet as if in perversity, we constantly see the rib bon bow or tie at the throat discarded in order to give place to a single large flower or bunch of small flowers as the case may be. Bunches of flowers are indeed a notable feature in the outfit of the Saratoga belle. They are worn par excellence at the waist on the left side, but as I have said, they give fin ish at the neck, or sometimes a smaller bouquet or single flower is at the throat, while an addition of the same kind, but larger, is at the waist. Dai sies are the rage, but as a change we see pond lilies, crushed roses or violets. 'Tis an ill wind that blows nobody any good, as the little boys are making fortunes by selling bouquets or single pond lilies. COSTUMES. Mixtures of c'>rs in costumes are quite remarkable. Miss Tiffany, of New York, the other day wore a dress of ecru camel's hair combined with pale blue, while a brocaded ribbon showing bright mixtures of red and blue gave finish, and an Alsatian bow to match appeared on her head. Again, I observed Mrs. Vanderbilt, who was dressed one morning in a pink striped lawn, with broad trimmed hat line d with pale blue satin, and an immense crimson poppy on the outside. The 'shade hats worn on piazzas and about the streets (for we all go about in a reckless sort of a way, with or without a hat, indeed, with or without gloves, with long trailing muslins or habited in demure walking suits) are captiva ting by reason of the variety and the extreme abandon of the mode of trim ming. Sometimes great piles of crushed roses are heaped together without foliage; sometimes 'tis one large flower, a modest bunch of small flowers, or again careless sprays which hang down occasionally as far as the waist. Fayal work is quite in favor and one of the prettiest morning cos tumes, worn by a daughter of Judge Hilton, was of zephyr gingham having rows of Fayal work let in throughout. Another superb toilette, worn by Mrs. Astor, of New York, was of white sat in elaborately trimmed with fine Fayal work. Miss Marvin, daughter of the owner of a leading hotel here, is cele brated for her toilettes. She wore the other morning a polonaise of ecru silk embroidered in self color and edged with eeru Spanish blonde. A square of Spanish blonde was thrown over hier s~houlders and confined in front by a bouquet of yellow crushed roses. Her hat was a broad brimmed Leg hor trimmed with ecrua ribbon, white ADVERTISMi1i BATES.

Perhaps, says an exchange, the most doleful spectacle that can be presented to the imagination is that of a man afflicted with tooth ache. -It certainly is a most wear ing and distressing pain ; still, it has heen endured at different times by almost every one. It is edifying to note that though, when any one else. has been at tacked with the same tor%pnt, he has recommended instan-t recourse to a dentist, and has derided any backwardness in following his ad vice as cowardice, he is, when his own time comes, no more eager to plant himself in the chair of doom than werd his despised friends, and is fertile i4 inventing expe dients for putting off the evil day, if the pain abates, to a remote date. A woman must be very near, indeed, akin to an angel who, after her husband or some other near male relative has for years laughed to scorn her com plaints of agonizing neuralgia telling her it 'is all fancy,' 'only nerves' (could it be anything worse ?), that she should never have it if she did not think about it, or if she took more exercise, or if she did something or other to tally out of her power to do-does not, sorry as she may be that h'~ should suffer, feel a certain satis faction when the enemy seizes up on him and he is made to feel what she bas endured. The absurdity of men's utter ances never seems to strike them even when they- gravely affirm that no one can possibly gauge their sufferings from an ordinary cold in the head. There is no offense so great as to try and per suade a man that, disagreeable as it may be, it is but a temporary inconvenience, which, in a verV short space of time, will pisa. away, leaving not a trace behin d ; he regards this simple exposition of fact as most unfeeling, and be moans himself plaintively that no one cares whether he is ill or not. He believes firmly that he is a model ofpatience under suffering. The women about him will be wise if they abstain from irritating him by any refutation of his pre posterous fallacy. It may be ad mitted that it is difficult for them to hold their peace when they se e him deliberately making himself ill by eating or drinking what he knows from, experience will dis agree with him. It is not easy to be compassionate to the fit of gout willfully brought on by drinking sweet champagne, or to manifest deep sympathy with .a headache produced by over in dulgence in pickled salmon or lob ster salad. But the victim will never allow that imprudence has - anything to do with the matter, and persist in regarding himself as the martyr of cruel fate. It is a great misfortune to have a fretful disposition. It takes the fragrance out of one's life, and leaves only weeds where a cheer ful disposition would cause flow ers to bloom. The habit of fret ting is one that grows rapidly, unless it be sternly repressed ; and the best way to overcome it is to try always to look on the cheerful side of things. It is always best to leave the progress of religion entirely to ex ample, to arguments and to ef forts dissociated from the power of the civil arm, since men will be found to embrace truth for its own sake, though they will scornglly repel it if thrust upon them by others. The children of God are called upon to pass through trials severe and long protracted, but in the end, the shall be brought un ostrich plume and crimson roses. Skirt black velvet. ARCHERY. What a contrast all this to the sim ple yet coquettish costumes of flannel, bunting or cheese cloth with bandana trimmings which the belle assumes when trying her skill at archery or lawn tennis. There is a rage for both these games, as the implements there of everywhere exposed for sale bear witness. Those most highly esteemed are made by Philip Ilighfield, of Lon don, whose agents here are Peck & Snyder, 124 Nassau St., New York. The same widely known firm are agents for Jefferee's Lawn Tennis, and also have on hand a pretty little book sold at twenty-five cents, which is a com plete guide to Lawn Tennis and Bad minton, while at the same price; ano ther little volume, The Modern Ar cher, gives full information as to the rules of Archery. For ten cents, they forward a catalogue containing more than seven hundred illustrations of sporting goods adapted to all seasons of the year. NEW DESIGNS. A word as to some new designs. The Ilona walking costume consists of a tight fitting basque with cut away fronts, showing a pointed vest and skirt trimmed with deep box plaited flounces, while the Nerissa overskirt certainly also may be singled out be cause of its graceful stylishness : the more so as it is adapted to any class of dress goods or wash materials. With this the Ducille basque would combine tastefully, having cut away loose fronts and tight fitting vest. I cannot omit mention of the Berenice walking skirt which shows a draped apron turned back with reverse above a finish of plaits and flounces below. For trav eling the Brighton ulster is the lead ing design. ELIR DRESSING. Hair dressers are making money fast, but I cannot see that they bring about anything novel. We observe for the most part clusters of finger puffs set high on the head, or ehate leine braids low at the back-some times both together, but what is there new in this ? Some variety is given by a waved coil with short curls at the back, or again all the hair may be waved, drawn back with some stray locks left in front, and confined low down with a finish of short curls. Frizzes, or creve cur locks are almost universally seen, but not in such ex aggeration as formerly. LUCY CARTER. "BABY MINE." The Agony of a Sufferer from the Child of Many Parents. .Columbia Register. "Baby Mine" shrieks the fair singer; "Baby Mine" echoes the sable serenader ; "Baby Mine" re sounds the brazen-throated cor net band ; "Baby Mine" repeats the ragged urchin in whistled ca dence ; "Baby Mine" reiterates the nurse in soothing accents; "Baby Mine" assert with loud acclaim piano, organ, jewsharp, cornet, trombone, cymbal, guitar and banjo till the welkin rings with the burthen of the refrain. "Baby Mine," indeed ! God for bid that I should claim author ship for a bantling so disreputable. With a melody ruthlessly robbed from a familiar Scotch air, and verse whose limping metre and namby.pamby sentiment proclaim the dazed fatuity of the writer, the unoffending ear is pitilessly tor tured "from rosy morn till dewy eve-aye, till wearied nature finds relief from "Baby Mine" in the deep oblivion ot sleep. Day after day, week after week, the exhausted spirit looks out from the towers of hope like Blue Beard's wife for the coming of re lief-and yet it is not. And now, in an agony of despair, it cries out to the press~ for deliverance from the body of this death. Give us anything-anything under the sun, on the earth or in the waters under the earth-that will for ever silence the wailings of "Baby Mine." Oh, that some good Sa maritan in the plenitude of his charity for the public good, would administer some sweet, oblivious antidote-say a dose of soothing syrup to the perturbed ghost of this ubiquitous baby.
