MISQ33T ITIA KTY tvaiic Lee and Willie Gray. Two brown heads with laughing curls, Bed lips shutting over pearls, Bare feet white, and wet with dew, Two eves black and two eyes blue, Little girl and boy were they, Katie Lee and W'illic Gray. They were standing where a brook, Bending like a shepherd's crook. Flashed its silver, and thick ranks Of green willow fringed its banks; Hau in thought and half in play, Katie Lee and Willie Gray. They had cheeks like cherries red; He was taller-'most a head; She, with arms like wreaths of snow, Swung a basket to and fro, As she loitered, half in play, Chattering to Willie Gray. "Frctty Katie," Willie said And there came a flash of red Through the brownness of his cheek "boys are strong and girls are weak, And I'll carry, so I will. Katie's basket up the hill." Katie answered with a laugh, "You shall carry only half. And then tossing back her curls, "Boys are weak as well as girls." Do Von think that Katie guessed Half thc wisdom she expressed? Men arc only boys grown tall: Hearts don't change much after all; And when, long years from that day, Katie Lee and Willie Gray .Stood again beside the brook, Bending like a shepherd's crook Is it strange that Willie said While a?ain a dash of red Crossed thc brownness of his cheek "I am strong and you arc weak; Lifo is but a slippery steep, Hung with shadows cold and deep. "Will you trust nie, Katie, dear Walk beside mc without fear? May I carry, if I will, All your burdens up the hill?" And she answered, with a laugh, "No; but you maj- carry half." Close beside the little brook, Bending like a shepherd's crook, Washing with its silver bands, Late and early at the sands, ts a cottage where co-day Katie lives with Willie Gray. Tn a porch she sits, and lo! Swings a basket to and fro. Vastly different from thc one That she swung in years agone; This is long and deep and wide, And has-rockers at thc side! THE BONNET QUESTION. -The ladies are rebelling against the winter fashion for bonnets. The principal of a wholesale millinery house in? forms us that his customers never purchased "bonnet frames" with equal reluctance. The buggy-top pattern requires a large amount of material, and makes .a very small show for it. Moreover, the show, when it is made, is anything but graceful. To construct a bonnet over the gig-top frame requires three fourths of a yard of material, with ribbons, and luce, and dowers ad in? finitum. The small bonnets of last summer, that made quite as much display, and were ten-fold more grace? ful, required less than half a yard of material. The consequence is that I the fashion dictated to the ladies is not accepted as fashions generally are, and that a good many dames and demoiselles are in open rebellion, and refuse to accept the dispensation of the'Empress Eugenie for the winter of the year of our Lord 18G5. This very unacceptable mode makes tho millinery trado comparatively dull; and many a discarded bonnet will be revamped this winter, that, were the fashion more acceptable, would find its way into the rag-bag. The friends of Dr. A. N. TALLEY nomi? nate him as a candidate for Mayor at the ensuing election in April next. Nov 2 * To Builders and Contractors.

The safe you made for nie somo time ago was in the office of the Museum, on thc second floor, back part of thc building, and in thc hottest of the tire. After twenty-four hours of trial, it was found among thc debris, and on opening it this dav has yielded.up its contents in very good order - books, papers, policies of insurance, bank bills, all in condition for immediate use, and a noble commentary on the trustworthiness of Herring's Fire? proof Safe.
