One Ttar Ago.
What stars have faded from our ?ky,
What hopes unfolded but to die,
What dreams so fondly pondered o'er.
Forever lost thc hues they wore;
How like a death-knell, sad and slow,
Tolls through the soul "one year ago."
Where is thc face we loved to greet,
The form that graced the fireside seat,
Thc gentle smile, the winning way,
That blessed our pathway day by day?
Where fled those accents soft and low.
That thrilled our hearts "one year ago?*'
Ah, vacant is tbc fireside chair,
The smile that won no longer there;
From door and hall, from porch and lawn,
The echo of thc voice is gone;
And we who linger only know
How much was lost "one year ago.''
Beside her grave the marble white
Keeps silent guard by day and r.ight!
Serene she sleeps, m heeds the tread
Of footsteps o'er her lowly bcd!
Her pulseless breast no more may kno w
The pangs of life "one year ago'."'
But why repine? A few more years,
A few more broken sighs auk tears,
And we, enlisted with the dead.
Shall follow where her steps have lied.:
To that far world rejoicing go.
To which she passed "one year ago."
Prophecy about Christmas.
This year Christmas day fell on Monday,
of which event an old song prognosticates:
If Christmas dav on Monday be,
A great, winter that year you'll seo.
And full of winds both loud ami shrill;
But in the Summer, truth to tell,
Stern winds shall there be and strong,
Full of tempests and lasting long;
While battles tiny shall multiply,
And great plenty of beasts shall die;
He shall be found that stealth aught,
Though thou be sick thou diest not.
The winter has seen a new fashion in
ladies' dress in Paris. It consists in hav?
ing tito great coats which, in imitation of
the men, are now worn, fabricated partly
of one color, partly of another-the body,
for example, being black, and the sloaves
blue. At first veiw, tho contrast of colors
in one garment seems strange, but im?
proves on being looked at, and tho
fashion, consequently, will probably be?
come general.
A woman was found in tho streots of
New York hand-cuffed; she was taken to
thc station house, and her husband sent
for. The husband appeared and stated
that ho kept the hand-cuffs because his
wifp was an "ungovernable creature," and
having had a little disagreement in tho
morning, he bad put them on her. The
wife was released from thc station and the
cuffs.
