Helen Grey. BY CHRISTINA G. ROSETTI. Because one loves yon, Helen Grey, Is that a reason yon should pout. And like a March wind veer about, And frown, and say your shrewish Bay ? Don't strain the cord until it snaps, Don't split the sound heart with your wedge, Con't cut your fingers with the edge Of your keen wit ; you may, perhaps. Because you're handsome, Helen Grey, Is that a reason to bc proud ? Your eyes are bold, your laugh is loud. Your Steps go mincing on their way ; But so you miss that modest charm * Which is the sorest charm of all : Take heed, you may yet trip and fall, And no man care to stretch his arm. Stoop from your cold height, Helen Grey, Come down, and take a lowlier place, Come down, to fill it now With grace ; Come down you must perforce some day : For years cannot be kept at bay, And fading years will make you old ; Then in your turn will men seem cold, When you yourself are nipped and grey. Novel Discoveries. A late Paris paper contains the fol? lowing: The peasants, who dwell on the shores of the lake of Switzerland had often stated that, at a short distance from the land, rows of stakes might be seen through the water, emerging from the mud of the bed. No interest, however, was attached to the pheno? menon till about eight years since, fcfc^the end of 1856 the water of the llllMe of Zurich sank considerably, B the thrifty proprietors of land Hpie bank proceeded at once to add EBuLWxhen- estates the portion of the lake Br bed left bare, by constructing perma r nent dykes against the return of the water. "While these works were being car? ried on, a row, or rather a sysem, of stakes was discovered at some little depth below the surface. Exca? vations were begun at this spot, and the result was to disinter a great variety of objects, which proved that a large number of human beings had once had their dwellings supported over the water by the stakes. Curiosity -^Jxmhig been once aroused, researches Bj prosecuted not-only at Obemeil Hwhere the first discovery was He, but all over Switzerland. It ? ? J gradually established that the H near the shore of almost every ?ll Ble Swiss lake supplied similar Hence. At some primeval period llllfllpopiuation of considerable density H? lived in huts constructed on pp^Biea, which rested on wooden sup ?PSBL!3' driven into the bed, just as the Mbffsja ?ornee and the Siamese at ^^^pjiok may be seen living to this HA wonderful number of articles S^p^Hnng to the daily life of the for Hft races have been brought to ISMF^ \J?? some pl^63 the materials W^uuV^e f?FStings have been preserved PMfcfcL -tjBhud, the floor of hardened ?Pl jP^fflBf the twisted branches and ~%-^f BT^0 ffP^E-l1 i?n formed the Avails.

By Wm side -cf these relics are found the ?^HL?ybf animals, whom they slew in ItgiyHse, many belonging to species Bnet before the rise of history, or IJpBfely mentioned in it. The urns, the l^Hsi^' elk, and iV> beaver furnish iipi<fBr^^ .'with food and with the ??^^??^ .-ds " of some of their most ?ir.'* . niously constructed utensils. So ntiful and perfect are the remains ||B|ound in the lakes, that much moro ^fta? been learned concerning the daily Jshfe and manners of men whose ? existence was notfsuspected ten years ago, than ia known of races which hare left a famous name in history or tradition. Pulpit Politics. ?i, ^JPhe Richmond Times very justly asks:v* "' Is it strange that many Northern i .politicians and a portion of the North i ern press should continue to bespatter Lihe South with foul aspersions, when ?r their clergy-claiming to be men of God-set them the example every re? curring Lord's day ? "What must we think of that religion whose pro? fessors, linstead of winning us with love and gentle kindness, profanely allege that we are identical with the great arch-enemy of mankind ? Will f~ it be credited that, at a conference of n ministers of the Holy Gospel of B Christ, held in Philadelphia, that city 66 of brotherly love, a certain minister H remarked that, "if they were given Ba good supply of good men, neither ^Hthj|D'evil nor thc South could break Hf?iem do??n." To which Bishop Ames BB remarked: "JFhey are both the same. Bf brother"-at which piece of reverend ? wit, it is conceded, that there was B much " laughter " among the assem B bled clergymen. B A set of political sinners and derna I gogues at a town caucus of the party, I would have behaved with as much I decency and propriety. And are Ls-these men followers of the meek and lowly Saviour, who preached and j practiced peace and love? Verily, it apppar.s that they do need "a good IBB?S^-^ good men," to prevent "the M-"-3^H'- iff0 "breaking them down," |ptllB\ i BJ from the South. IP???H ? l ' \k\0Tiet7 *8 Pamft,l *? v?t P?S?H andme' when it appears S^MI I \ bA?rec^e<^ sectional ani S / ' "^pes a matter of grave B? reflection as indica Btv -, n ?e^y of true religion. ing in behalf of the Union, of peace and harmony, we vehemently depre? cate and utterly condemn such exam? ples, no matter where they occur. The lips of the clergy should never be defiled by such utterances. The fierce passions and coarse epithets of the political arena should never be permitted to invade the sanctuary of the church. "We are grieved and pained when we see these continued exhibitions of bad feeling and malignant expression, corrupting publio opinion and over? throwing public reason and good will. Let the politicians, press and preachers, abstain from firing the passions and prejudices of the people for a few months onb md the na? tive honesty and kind hearts of our people would make a restoration of the Union which would put ablush upon the cheek of every enemy of peace. All that the North and South need to come together and to live happily and harmoniously, is to be let alone. Why is it necessary to be forever stirring anew the elements of discord? Did abuse ever produce any other crop but hate? Can sneers and epithets move the breasts of the people to anything but discord and malice? If common charity and love be wanting, where are common sense and self-interest, that men should still continue to sow the seeds of strife? It is high time that the pandemonium of political agitation had been abated. Wo quarrelled and fought-are we still to quarrel again and keep it up forever? Indecencies of Modern City Fashions. The Fireman's Journal is scandal? ized at what it calls "The Indecen? cies of Modern City Fashions." The editor says: A few weeks ago, on a muddy day, we saw walking, some way be? fore us, a pitiable object. In the dis? tance it resembled a poor German peasant woman, with her short petti? coat falling somewhat below the knee. (There is nothing immodest in that peasant dress. The German peasant walks with her ankles exposed, but there is no illusory pretense of cover? ing them.) The poor creature we saw seemed to be such an cae, with a huge clothes line strung around her, on a frame, on which she seemed to be carrying various gewgaw dresses for different people. She seemed to be the humble er? rand-girl of some dressmaker's estab? lishment. On passing the unhappy creature, we noticed that she was sail? ing along with the idea that the dresses hanging around her shoulders were her own, and she looked as modest and unconcerned as if she were really decently covered. Speak? ing of it to those more au fait in such matters, we found that such kind of dress is "all the rage" for some time past. It is effected on purpose, by having hoops made with a sharp and stiff curve at the foot, that will tilt the dress above, and expose the legs to the knee. Another " progress" keeps pace with it. It has been told in the daily pa? pers, but we rarely believe anything we see in them. A very truthful wo? man, however, living in the country, came to town last week, and told a near friend of ours that she had tried to get a corset made, but was told it could not be done under two weeks, because all hands in the large estab? lishment she visited were engaged in making false calves for "ladies who wear the tilting hoops ! On last Sunday, walking home from church through several fashionable streets, we noticed women walking, with tilting skirts, from where they had been pretending to say their prayers; and on all the corners, and on hotel fronts, we saw rows of well dressed black-guards, standing, ob? serving and laughing, and comment? ing on what these women were exhi? biting. Out on this indecency, that would honest Pagans. Let every modest woman who has been tricked into getting these traps of the harlot as the latest "fashion," pull them off and burn them. Let every parent see to it that his guileless daughter is not disgraced by following the fa? shions. Let masters of households do the charity to a servant maid that has kept up with the fashion, to pro? vide her with such as are modest, and forbid her, while in his house, to play the airs of the wanton. Why, even in Pagan times, when the men abandoned themselves to the most vile practices, they tried to keep their women uncorrupt. What are we coming to? CURIOUS AND INTERESTING HISTORIC FACTS.-The whole number of men in tho United States army from April, 1861, to April, 1865, was 2,600,000, the State of New York alone furnish? ing 464,156. The entire number of men in the Confederate army from the first to the last of war amounted only to 800,000. At the close of the war the United States had an army of 1,000,000 men. A statement, com? piled from the official records of the Confederate War Department, pub? lished for the first time twelve months ago in the New York Tribune, from which it was copied into a Richmond paper soon after, but recently repub? lished by the Chicago Tribune as something that only now had been allowed to escape from the reticent files of the State Department at Washington, shows that in February, 1865, a month before the final battles of the war, the whole of the Confede? rate forces, on both sides of the Missis Charleston Advertisements.
