Messrs. Fallers :
l?as. genius prophetic foresight? It would
seem so from thc following free translation of
j Horace's XXX Ode, Ii. Ill :
1 Xot enduring brass, nor pyramidal pile,
Could so fix r.;c on thc role of never-dying
fame,
As the fadeless glories that entwine my poet's
name :
For these, like their own immortal mind,
Yield m^t to ruthless time, nor beating rain,
nor driviug wind,
Son orunix mr-riar! Oblivion's stream.
Whatever else it claims, must-leave untouched
thc poet's dream.
When you Capitol shall fail to own her priest
and silent virgin train,
My glory thc.' may cease to weave its ever
lengthening, ever-b nigh ten f?g chain.
Xor shall he who first taught Talia's mas? to
warbie Grecia's songs.
Though low of birth, be without a name
j Where wiid AufidJS plays its game,
j And thirsty Daun us seeks thc rustic hordes to
tame.
Indulge 0, Muse, my merit's boastful claim,
And crown me with Apollo's lasting fame.

LIFE OF k mmm EIMIOIL
-0- "
A Story rrii.h a Powerful "Kora"".
Let 35veryboc?y Read.
Once upon a time, about tho bo^-;::
ning ofthe year ISSI, th ero lived a j
lean and hung-!y cou;.try editor; Ail
through iiic year I-SSO he liad worked
hard, and had lived for the most part
on turnips, dried apples and herrings.
Thanksgiving day and Christmas clay
had come and gone, and on those oc?
casions the editor had worked off the
best Jukes Le could getup as to turkics
and cranberry sauce, lie got up these
jokes mainly for the purpose of making
the general public believe that lie din?
ed sumptuously on those occasions.
But the fact of the matter is, the only
change of diet thc editor had on each
of th ose days, was that he mixed his
turnips and dried apples together, and
called ihe mixture by a beautiful
French name. It is true that tiie
editor was not able to eat much of his
new dish, even after he hud given it
a beautiful name. But this did not
matter much. Ile calmly atc his her?
ring and congratulated himself that
this French delicacy of his was a dish
that few of 'his acquaintances had ever
tat do "vii io.
But we must go on with our story.
A.s we have remarked before, our nar?
rative c?mi?ences within.; beginn foi*
of tue yea? ISSI. Of oy-u-rs?, ii-at is
arloj'g.. lo::g orne ago; and of coursed
th? editor aboU'.s win,m wo arc now lei!- :
inti has long since died and gone to !
hoavt:n. But perdiaps some am-org:
our oldest readers may' have h ear? i j
the i- grandfathers speak . ! the vd* tirer :
of Le'SO uno ISSI. Hov. ii snowed :
- and btowcu a::d frozed, and then took !
j a f. oh start and frozed and blowed ;
j and suowedi How boats were frozen j
ap iti the rivers'-, and railroad trains j
blocked in Lite mi Jule of ioresls by in?- j
penetrable banks of snow, and the ;
' c:-Ltie upon a thousand hills compelled j
to -rai straw under the shed,-and yet;
it kept on snowing and blowing and .
freezing. There lived about tins thnc i
a weather prophet by name Ycnuor.
Many peuple, including the editor, be?
lieved that Vennor had rn-ti'tin".to; -do-j
wi.ih creating the miserable state o??? '
weather. V? nether Ven nor was re- j
sponsible for tho weather, or whether :
it might have more" properly been ;
j ascribed to Herbert Spencer's **ii::ici- ;
j eiiiiatiotsSiOf dciiuite, -Coherent bete ru j
1 genieixy* ' we are not able at this time ?
j to determine. Whatever may hayo ;
; been tho cause of the winier, we wiii
simply state that it was alt ?jost as bat!
as any that had ever occurred within ?
the memory of the oldesf inhabitant. ?
On the morning on which our story j
commences, the enlim was nilling !
moodily in his sanctum. The devil j
was endeavoring to make tv: are burn,
just as a weil int educed devil should;:
But the editor was mcdltu?hig. He
was thinking of the past, ol' the pres?
en}: and of ?lie future. lie had just
??niciied making out a long list of bills, !
and lie was thinking sweetly of ali ;
there blessed subscribers who had :
paid him in a iyancc, and ?-gatnst i
whom ile had no bids. And ko wa- ;
thinking mournfully, regreifnuy, ai-;
most bitterly of those who hadn't < -I
squared up. ' And y-A he was think?
ing hopefully of this i a Uer class, ibr it j
was principally upon them that he ?
depended for hr future rations. lie ;
knew there were lots and lots of good !
n Hows among them, who would not j
itt IJim starve to death while they
could raise one dollar and fifty cents.
The editor had spent all his advance
subscriptions keeping up his rent, in
buying his dried apples, his turnips
and his herrings, in paying for tho
material und other cost o? running his
paper and in feeding and clot h inn- his
devil. On this morning .as the editor
sat in nis sanctum, he was completely
bankrupted. That is; he was not,
completely bankrupted,-he had Iii' j
teen cents left. But all his turnips j
were gone, and he only had four ;
pounds ol dried apples and nine her- ?
rings remaining in [?is larder. Tho
editor took his pencil and made a cal?
culation. These four pounds oy apples
ho calculated, when boiled would ;
amount lo just lour bushels. A i low- '
mg bi msc M to eat a peck, these four
bushels would inst him just thirty
two da\*s. But as t ;e?ok him a her?
ring a day, the niue herrings would
only last him nine deys. T: is was a
gloomy outlook. The editor ;/..e . .'!

thought upon these th; ?es to r *
grow desperate. Jiejnu ; . ' r-p b tn

shed one eye and shook in's list at tho

would swear before a court and ju
that ii was every word true.

very considerably, and he again to

marked, the editor had already Spe

said before,'his turnips were al! gon.
and he had eaten his day's herring ft

quarts of dried apples left i or jj:

dried apples was too much for Iii

state, that editors have lo eat a gre::

Having finished his supper he pullo
his chair up to the lire. Ho ha
borrowed two bushels of coal th::

The clock struck icu and eleven

A dress that is io poee?:ar as to bo

con vat it. to some other usc before it is
worn, wiela rho u nobs tra? i ve dross j
easily leads itself" io some different ad- :
justmect, which gives it an entirety new j
aspect.
A woman who has hut ono best
gown can "wear it with a diSerence."
like the rue Ophelia cf.'ers to ber broth?
er. ..? . . as to make ir. suitable to many
occasions, especially if the have two
waists, er "bodies,'' as the Khg
\Uh cali them. One skirt will easily
outlast two waists, and therefore tl.ir. is
a real r aving But suppose that there
be out one waist, or tho dress he made ?
all in one piece (than which there is no |
prettier fashion.) and it should he worn j
one day higa in the neck, with collar j
and cutis, on another day with the neck 1
turned in, and a lace or muslin fichu '
gracefully adjusted with bows or Saw?
ers -it'd a bit v': lace ;?L tee wrists, a pair
of long glove?, and a more elaborate
dressing of the hair, ic will bo scarce?
ly recognizable. 32ut the dress mast
ba of a Very genera; character, like
black silk, or some dark color, or the
pleasure cf the new impression is lost.
The wise person with a small capital
never buys any but a good aad lasting
thing. Each year she adds one cr twu
reully solid possessions to her wardrobe,
which, treated with care last her macy
years. Thus ou a really sinai! sum
she may dress very beautifully. With?
out a copitul one is often obliged to hr.y
w!;r* eau last but for a few months;
but lhere is choice even herc.
There is certainly a groat economy
in a woman's adopting fer occasions of
ceremony cue dress from which she
never diverges. It becomes her ehar
acteri.-tie. and there is even a kimi of
style aad beauty in the idea. The
changing fashions in color and material
pass without eifccling her. She is
heyer induced to buy anything because
it is new. She is always thc same.
The dress in this case must have a cer?
tain simplicity. It costs her little
thought and little time, and when the
??!<] edition, becoming worn, ?rives way
te ike new, ibo eua ugo is not per?
ceived, oor is ir noticed when the mew
ir, its trna become? md.
Such dre.- ", as this must of course lio
whela co rta ir limits. Suppose lt to be
.i black velvet, ic would last, with euro,
at leas: ?ve or six years. Sonrose it
to oe a wi:ito cashmere-a dies:: c!
-ned; east: it could, with caro, last twu
seasons : and then, clean e. last anoth?
er season or two* and the::, dyed, bc
turned ta tr- a v-Iking dress to la: t two
seasons mere.
If a dress is pat cn with grace. It:;
owner nar:o :s aware its defects, and
ir rs :-. t.:'o]noss te tia; spe-ite?er if she
ill V- op her own secret.
In "Fiance, and I believe also in Laly,
they hare a poetic faskiou of dedication j
for a certain rumker of ea;?> (ii ve, ten,
or twenty years, according to tho
parents' taney) young giris to the Vir?
gin. Icon ot li o o w i a w hat way '. h ey
demonstrare t!;is dedieardon except in
tie; cider of tb ir dress, which is al?
ways, for al! occasions, summer or win
no-, blue, or white, or white and bbre
mixed. Ties alfords more variety thar;
at srst thought it would seem to be cap?
able of, for any ?bade of blue may be
used.
There is a great economy ie deciding
on a few becoming eolors in their several
shades, and confiniijg one's dress to
Leese. Choosing colors that harmonize
eaeii other, like gray. bh:ek, pur?
ple, blue, yellow, white, and never
buy tag any other colors, one may, in
mrking overgarments, usc one with
another so thar nothing is wasted.
it ls r.-so important to know what
r.alzt of dress to emphasise. For in
'.tanec. one may expend a largo fen cn
a gown, ned if thc tamp s are shabby; or
ill-made, the gloves worm and the bon?
nor lacks style, the gown is .er.-'Tcly

perceive that Lhe dress is nota new ocr.
