The Maid or Fashion.
Maid of Fashion, er? we part,
Hear me own how fair thou art;
Hear me now the truth confess
T love thee for thy taste in dress.
Beautiful from top to toe,
*Zoe mon sas agapo!
By those stays so tightly laced;
By the big buckle at thy waist;
Bv the long skirt unconfined,
That dangles in the dirt behind:
By the corsage cut so low, 4
Zoe mou sos agapo!
By the black hair thou hast got.
Packed up like a porter's knot;
By those frizzed ont, frizzy curls.
Envy of leas hirsute girls;
thy bonnet string's huge bow,
mou sas agapo!
thy carriage, chains and "charms,"
By th? bracelets on thy arms;
Bv tay boot? with monster heels;
Bv thy veil that half conceals,
The rouge that on thy cheeks doth glow,
Zoe mov sos agapo!
?Greek-My lifo I love thee.
Artemus Wind OH Sliakera.
The Shakers is the strangest reli?
gions sex I ever met. I'd hearn tell
of 'em and I'd seen 'em, with their
broad brim'd hats and long wastid
coats; but I'd never cum into imme
jet contack with 'em, and I'd sot 'em 1
down as lackin intelleck, as I'd never
seen 'em to my Show--leastways, if
they cum they was disgised in white
people's close, so I didn't know 'em.
But, in the spring of 18-, I got |
swamped in the exterior of New
York State, one dark and stormy I
night, when th<| winds blue pityusly,
and I wac forced to tie up with the |
Shakers.
I was toilin threw the mud, when I

aboose their wives-wives don't worrit
their husbans. There's no children
here to worrit ns. Nothin to worrit us
here. There's no wicked matrimony
here. "Would thou like to be a
Shaker?"
"No," sez I, "It ain't my stile."
I had now histed in as big a load of
pervi8huns as I could carry comfor?
tably, and leaning back in my cheer,
commest pickin my teeth with a fork.
The female went ont; leaving me all
i alone with the clock. I hadn't sot
there long before the Elder poked his
head in at the door. "You're a man
of sin!" he sed, and groaned went
away.
Dreddy ther cum in two young
Shakeresses, as putty and slick lookin
gals as I ever met. It is troo they
was drest in meal bag like the old one
I'd met previously, and their shiny,
silky har was hid from sight by long
white caps, sich as I spose female
Josts wear; but their eyes sparkled
like diaminds, their cheeks was like
roses, and they was channin enuff to
make a man throw stuns at his gran
mother, if they axed him to. They
commenst dearin away the dishes,
casting shy glances at me all the
time. I got excited. I forgot Betsy
Jane; in rapter, sez I, "My pretty
dears, how air you?"
""We air well," -they solnmly sed.
" Whar's the old man ?" sed I, in a
soft voice.
"Of what dost thow speak, bro?
ther Uriah ?"
"I mean the gay and festive cuss
who calls me a man of sin. Shouldn't
I wonder if his name was Uriah. "
" He has retired."
"Wall, my pretty dears," sez I,
I ' ' let's have sum fun. Let's play puss
j in the corner. "What say ?"

P?rehadn't no wearin appeeril 01 ex

. in the breeze like a seceshun flag. He
sed, " You're a man of sin !" then
groaned and went away.
I went to sleep agin, and drempt of
running off with the pretty little Sha
l keress mounted on my Californy bar.
I thawt the bar insisted on stearin

k and that Besy Jane, cum out and giv

the Elder. H^s??Wrefreshments was

t I was a man of sin. he went groanin
away.
As I was goin threw the entry to
i the room where the vittles was, I
' cum across the Elder and the old fe
5 male I'd met the night before, and
I what d'ye supposa they was up to?
? Huggin and kissin like young lovers
in their gushingest state. Sez I,
. "My Shaker friends, I reckon you'd
better suspend the rules, and get
> marrid!"
t "You must excus Brother Uriah,"
i said the female; "he's subject to fits,
aud hain't got no command over his
1 self when he's into 'em."
L "Sartainly," sez I, "I've been took

i "You're a man of sin!" said the

Arter breakfast, my little Shaker
friends cum in again to clear away the
dishes.
? "My pretty dears," sez I, "shall
we y ay again?"
"Nay," they sed, and I nuy'd.
The Shakers axed me to go to their
. meetin, as they was to hav sarvices
thattoornin; so I put on a clean biled
. i>g and went. The meetin house was
i-as neat as a pin. The floor was
I white as chalk and smooth as glass.
I The Shakers was all on hand, in clean
f^weskits and meal bags, ranged on the
?Soor like mihngtery companies, the
Bfete?3 on one side of the room and
"^^^ftfemales on the tother. They

Sez I, "What duz it signerfy?"
"What?" s?z he.
"Why this jumpin' up and gingin'?
This long-weskit bizness, and this
anti-matrimony idee ? My friends,
you air neat and tidy. Your lands is
flowin' with milk and honey. Your
brooms is fine, and your apple sass
is honest. When a man buys k kag
c T apple sass of you he don't find a
grate many shavins undera few layers
of sass-a little game, I'm sorry to
say sum of my New England ances?
tors used to practice. Your garding
seeds is fine, and ef I should sow 'em
on the rock of Gibralter, probly, I
should raise a good mess of garding
sass. You air honest in your dealins.
You air quiet, and don't disturb no?
body. For all this. T cn>e you credit.
But your religion is small pertater I
must say.
You mope away your lives here in
single retcnedness, and as you air all
by yourselves, nothing ever eon flicks
with your pecooler ideas excep when
human natur busts out among you,
as I understand she sometimes do.
(I give Uriah a sly wink here, which
made the old fellow squirm like a
speared eel.) You wear long weskits
and long faces, and lead a gloomy
life indeed. No children's prattle is
ever hearn around your hearthstones
-you are in a drairy fog all the time,
and you treat the jolly sunshine of
life as though it were a thief, driven
it from your doors by them weskits,
and meal bags and pecooler noshuns
of yourn. The gals among you, some
of which are as slick pieces of caliker
as I ever sot eyes on, and savin to
place their heads agin weskits, which
kiver honest, manly harts, while you
old hed fool yourselves with the idee
that they are fulfiUin their mishun
here, and air contented. Here you
air, all pend up by yourselves, talk?
ing about the sins of the world yon
dont know nothin of. Meanwhile,
said world continers to resolve round
on her own axletree once in every
twenty-four hours, subjeck to the
Constitution of the United States,
and is a very pleasant place of resi?
dence.
It's a unnatural, onreasonable dis?
mal life yourie leadin here. So it
strikes- rue,?jS Shaker friends, I uow
bid you a Bpie adoo. You have
treated me g^?diniwell. Thank you,
