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

Mbffsja ?ornee and the Siamese at

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.

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?
