Chicagoans Who Are Stopping at the United States and the Grand Union Hotels, From Our Own Correspondent. Sanatoca, Aus. 22.—The usual and expected visitors were extremely late in getting here, but they came en masse when they did come, and at present this tillage of vast hotels aud marked improvements is having the lively section of 9 season, onthe whole, distressinely dull. The Hudson steamers have for a fortnight been en- gazed in depleting the population of New York, assisted in the highest degree by August’s sun, who proved himself a child of most fiery temper from the first day she brought him forth. The Drew, of the People’s Line, had more passen- gers Friday night last than staterooms to put them in, and these passengers nearly all were bound for the Springs. I found tne United States glorying in “lodgers out,” and the Union so fullthat tae man whose room did not suit him cou!d only get it changed by taking one on she roof orin the tower. This tower, by the way, is oneof the most noticeable of the changes here, and not less remarked upon than the banishment of the Jews from beneath it. Sara- toga has long had such features as live indians, Morrissey, and an uncqualed variety of SPRING WATER AND SUMMER TOILETS, When the view from this is once obtained, pleasure is succeeded by wonder that somebody did not think to build it, or avother, before now. The country around Saratoga is of quiet but thor- oughly charming description. Looked down upon from such a height, it draws an apprecia- tion which there were no means hitherto to ex- cite. The lake, with its encircling hills and Grives, and the dot-like hotels on its shores, shows clearly to the .east, with the animated scene of the boulevard leading thither, to form a thread-line for'the eve. The far background is relieved by the Green Mountain range; to the south lie rich valleys and many. winding streams like the Kayaderosseras, which, happi- Jy, retains its beautiful indian name in orthog- raphy, thougi made into “ Kaydeross” in vulgar speec¥. The Village of Ballston, which was a middle-aged watering-vlace before Sara- toga came into being, appears as the ideal vil- lage in the woods, its spires and public build- ings rising from out a rich vale of green. The low but picturesque line of the Greenfield Mountains carries the vision westward and to the north, where the Champaign gives no promise of those. glorious Adirondack peaks which rise within fifty miles. Few even of the older and more observing visitors have been aware what enjorable scenery was spread all about them, going to waste so far as beiug seen was concerned. More picturesque eyenthan the’ outlying districts is the village itself, with its rich foliage, dainty parks, and beautiful Broadway stretching away till lost in + the -Valley.of Glen Mitchell, where the trotting course fs situate, To complete the story of this tower, the “rise from the dead ievyel of former selves to higher things ? is made by means of an elevator, an ar- rangement no one quarrels with, as many might with stairs. Not only is the tower the one place here tu see from, it is the most prominent ob- Ject to sec, and happily is architecturally worthy its position. . I spoke of Sarotoza asa VILLAGE OF MARKED IMPROVEMENTS. * ‘This is true to an extent no other fashianable re- sort can boast. The Saratogians, both from im- measurable pride in their village and from busi- ess common sense, Zo on from year to year adding attraction to attraction, sparing no effort to make the place worthy its unquestioned position as the first watering resort in the country. It nay safety be said that at no other resort is eo muc! money put into the adornment and beautifying of private as well as public grounds ‘and build- ings. Broadway, with its boulevard width aud splendid lines of elins and maples, was always a fine street; yet within a few years it has beenso metamorphosed that the visitor of a decade since would scarcely recognize it. The Windsor, that unfortunate speculation which sank a fool- ish woman’s fortune, was the first change of a series of changes which have made Broadway south to appear stately. The erection of the soldiers’ monument, in honor of the Seventy- seventh, a regiment which proved its gallantry by returning home with less than 200 of the 1,000 men it took to the front: the removal of. the old and familiar piilar-house of Congress Spring, and utter transformation of the park, together with the constant rebuilding of the Grand Union, now completed by a dome as proud and commanding proportionately as that Of the Capitol, have worked wonders to the eyes of those Who recall days when incendiary fires had laid all that section in ruins. Nor has the improvement in North Broadway been Jess noteworthy. Two features whi specially charm observers are THE QUEEN AWNE COTTAGES onthe west side, the lower one not far from opposite the mansion and garden of Lord Will- ouhby, whose title furnishes what every water- ing-place finds indispensable, though perhaps Tess eared for-than elsewnere by a people with democratic ideas, nourished almost in sight of those ‘lamous ficlds of Saratuta and Bemis Heights. These cottares are perfect of their kind, and were built. without regard to cost. One of them is owned by Mrs. Whalen, widow of aman who was -identified with the villaze nearly from its beginning as a summer resori; the other by Mr. Shepard, a gentleman of wealth and taste, whose conservatory is the finest in the section. The fancy for the Queen Anne cottage has taken root in many quarters, of which fact the Jersey cuast is a good illustra tion. There is every reason why ‘it should ex- tend wherever summer or supurban villas are to be built, for no cottage is more homelike and simple, and cozily to be arranged. I have seen mone 60 accirate tu plan and so thorot finished as these, which thus naturally nen prominent place m the midst of much abnormal, overdoue, andrimerack architecture. The odd. ity 1m this line, though not a new one at all, is the mansion of Gen. Batcheller, who is at prest ent a resident in Eeypt, eneaged in teaching’ synod, law practice “in the Ehedive's courts. IDEA 45 TO A HOUSE ‘was possibly the same as that. regarding 3 sys- tem of junsprudence, that it should combine the best and most just principles to be derived Sow say and all sources; an idea, it may be s exceedingly advantageonsin jurisprudence, ut not equally worthy to be carried into archi- The result was, and remai While the General offers observers bate een house to look at, he furnishes them with s gen~ crous display of styles, trom the eimplicity of the Grecian to the extreme ftippancy of ‘the Renaissance, from the regulanty of the Gothic to the pazoda-points and minarets of the Moor. The effect can be imsxined more easily than de. scribed. A forture was put into the Tmansion, Which is most elegantly appointed throurbout, but which is, externally, enough to make a well-trained architect or a lover of the natural and harmonious throw himself away in despair, ‘Think of entering a fancy porch, graceful with its curves and jeté, while overhead are windows of most angularGothic, and to the side a equare old £nglish bay. So it is on every side, till the student of periods and styles mav in one struc ture find full chance to compare and cnoose. Nothing shows the Saratoga spirit of keeping atwork more fairly than do. the fresh alters- tions in Congress Park. A hundred thousand dollars were spent last year in making this per- fect as the size of the ‘grounds would permit. Yet there are new features, such as the chil- dren's pl the. afternoon music pacoda, and walks on the bill, which is known as the ‘Lover's Retreat,”” andno doubt appreciated by that class of seclusion-seeking persons. Down- ing’s baud furnishes the music, aud suck music as at times makes that of the hotel-orchestra seem tame, though conducted by the old and favorite leaders, with the exception of Bern- stein, who has’ descyed Congress Hall for a Long Branch venture. + . 48 FOR THE JEWISH QUESTION, the effect of it has been imperceptible upon the hotel business, save that there are less Jews than usual in the place. For these Congress Hall is more than ever the headquarters, and wore than. ever to these: given oyer. The States {s much the same asthe Union in re- spect to the class of its guests, though not so openly declared. One of the managers tells me that they have had few applications from Jews. In his opinion the interests of Saratoza have been much benefited by Judge Hilton’s course. ‘The first month of theseason did not compare favorably with the same period last year, but a like difference and depression have been noted_at every watering place throughout the land. Two causes have operated to this cf- fect. The chief is the decrease in the quantity of funds available for summering: the second, the increase in the desire to get out into real country, or bythe sea, or in the mountains, where there is more health, Jess dressing and expense. Regarding the- Western neople and their small numbers here or elsewhere in the East this summer, the Hon. Thomas Hoyne, the firet gentleman I met in the rotunda ol the Grand Union, gave itas his opinion that the Chicaco people bad too much to engage them at home to allow the usual roaming, aud were content- ing themselves with ‘Wisconsin. There were fewer of them to be met, he said, than ever be-" fore in his experience. The names given velow , Will show the number of srrivals from your «ty during a fortnight. The United States grows in favor year by year. Froportionately, it has more puests this Season than last, and of a better class. THE COURSE OF THE UNIO! in shutting out the villagers aud occupants of private boarding-houses trom even the cujoy- ment of its concerts, and further than this, in making those who live at other hotels feel that they are not. welcome a5 visitors, has, I think, worked to its harm, and to the advantage of its rival, whose policy is more liberal, while in uo respect unvleasantly broad. If you ask a Sara- togian where to stop, you may be sure of direc- tion to the States rather than to the Union. In respect. to comfort, elegance, tone, attraction, there is as little choice between the twoas could beimagined. Either isa model hotel, kept in model style, and there 1s nothing to surpass them in the metropolis, nor yet in the hotel city of the continent—Chicago. “That is saying suf- ficient, surely, but not too much. The Spanish families are concentrated, this year, at the American, which has taken the lead very de- cidcdly among the second-class houses. ‘Last winter the Union was the Spanish centre, and the prettiest children on its play-ground were the dark-hued, large-eved Cubans. The Claren- don has its usual quota of Ne rkers, who never think of breaking over the habit of years and going anywhere else. The large hotels are having their province encrosched upon by the boarding-houses. These have been full all summer, and each year gain a little ground, especially among those who wish to drink the spring water for 2 month or more, and to whom. hotel prices for a family, however small, may well scem a mountain without pass. THE ATTRACTIONS OF THE SEASON have been mostly confined to Mr. Morrissey’s rozramme of races. The first week was a. ‘benefit ” week, to use a theatrical term, for the Hon. John’s brother Senators, who managed to try various things, besides Mr. Ellis, the un- fortunate Superintendent of Banks. The latter, dy the way, cvuld uot have selected a place for: trial which would have neen more likely to se- cure easy acquittal. There is no method to “fix” a jury more satisfactorily than to feed them highly, furnish them with the flattery of fair eyes, and throw in the excitements of run- ning horses and mutual pools,—mutual in that nearly everybody loses together. There has ‘been much amusement here over Mr. Morrissey’s unblushing effrontery. He certainly has wou his title as the most “cheeky ” man inthe State. Bret Harte’s coolest manipulator of the ready re- volver had no cvolness to exceed that of the anti-Tammany chief. To vote against pool- selling; to liftup bis bands in horror at the wicked ways of the turfmen at Jerome Park; to deprecate gambling in elections. then to quietly open the auctioncer’s stand at his own course; to put up a slicht fence with the warning, “No boys admitted.” much as.if it were *‘ Keep off the grass;” and, crown- ing all, to invite the makers of the law to see him publicly break it day after day,—this is a RECORD TO BE ENVIED even by the careless citizen of Poker Flats. ‘The second race season, just closing, has proved much more lively and prautable than the first, and extra days will be forthcoming, For a number of years the races have been introduced and supplemented by regattas on the lake. ‘This time they have had no such aid. The abandonment of the Culleze rowing contests was virtually the same as if the students had blown open the hotel safes and extracted hun- dreds of doliars, It need not be imagined that the tasty little boat-houses are of no-use, if they are no longer occupied by shells and muscular youth with tanned skins. The happy idea of tenting on the shore occurred to some parties last summer, and the boat-houses were made to admirably serve the purpose of 2. Gsherman’s shelter. Several families are now enjoying themselves in -this simple, healthful mode of life, buying necessaries from the farmers who own the houses, and depending for meat on the fish captured via the deceptive hook. The house which was made famous as the home during two regatta seasons of the champion Cornell oarsmen, is rezularly tenant- ed by a family, the mother of which is the most successful fisherman of the number, and known on the lake as one of the most persistent pur- suers of its perch and pickerel. My own expe- rience on these limpid waters has, I grieve to say, been mostly confined to *pumpkin-seeds,” beautiful of color and thin a5 a pancake, with an occasional bullbead or catfish for variety. The courteous though somewhat unsatisfactory remark of the landiord, after learning the ré- sult of such a day's sport is, Ah, yes, SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BAIT.” Then> he recommends you to tury another fy, but itwill not do. With spinal’ column wel bent there is no present disposition to be caught on a fly, and you resolve to take a new line instead,—a line for the brooks where trout reside, and where, if you get a nibble and a bite at all, the cause of it will be worth the watching and waiting. Two or three stock phrages have, of course, grown out of Judge Hilton's fiat. To be strict- Ty m fashion, on entering the marble hall of the inion, you must luok around inquiringly and murmur, “Where, oh where the Hebrew chil- drenf” ‘The.answer is, “ Way over at the Con- gress Halt.” Then comes a rater bad play on words, though not so bad as many a one which goes the rounds. Where are you stopping?” Now is your chance: “I'm stopping at the G. U.” Gew). Eli Perkins is on hand, but these things are not to be Iaid to his charge. Ther were before his time. Iam told that Mr. Mor- risscy, having so large interests at stake here, pays him liberally not to write any more letters irom Saratoga. If true, Mr. Morrissey appears in the role not only of « cuardian to the Springs, but of a benefactor to the public. PROSPECTS OF THE SEASON. The earlier part of the seasou, as I said, was distressingly dull. Now there is nearly 23 much life as at the height of last summer's pleasure- seeking. If the crowd continues for a month, which depends wnolly on the weather, the year will be a good one, after all. It caunot, Mr. Wilkmson and other managers say, be less than fair, and exceeds already their anticipations. To one looking at the expense account of these im- mense hotels. it becomes a wonder how they can Possibly pay their way, with so short a space of time at best to do it in, and somuch of this find- ing bandteds of emny rooms. he balls and garden parties are not less brilliant than usual, and the etiquette of these Occasions has been raised a pez or two. It used to be acommon thing tor visiting ladies, from other hotels or elsewhere, to appear on tlie floor with their hatson. The master of ceremonies at the States decided against this cheapening of the dignity be was engaged to maintain, and now word is given to such a3 need it, ‘Hats olf, please.” Tne tonein other respects is higher than formerly, and astay here is proportionately more agree- able. In the way of entertainments, Miss Ab- bott gave a concert some time since, in circum- stances disadvantageous. encugh, since there were few people then in town to make her an, audience, and many of these not of the sort to be attracted.

A BELLE’S DAY AT SARATOGA. Correspondence New York Sun. Unitep States Horev, Saratoaa, Aug. 20. —The tirst pretty miss I met this morning as I touched the balcony of the States was that. love- ly Nellie Mason, who lives in one of those big elegant brown-stone houses ‘ou Madison avenue. She was waiting for Albert Munson, ouc of the haudsomest beaus here, to take her to Congress Spring. This is Miss Mason’s first visit to Sara- toga, aud her aunt, who is chaperoning her, told me yesterday that her niece was only just 19. “A mere child, you know, and. takes every- thing as real,” she observed. Miss Nellie was sweetly dressed. She wore a cream white chip hat, all covered with lilies of the vailey, thrown back piquantly from the loveliest golden hair. Her dress was white mus- lin, with old yellow lace inserted all around the neck, aud with transparent lace slecres, through which you could see the sweetest arms in all Saratoga: Oh, how I have heard the fellows raye avout those arms! Her dress hung close to her: hips, with a long train showing her plump form perfectly, and on her feet were the dainticst French shoes, with high heels right in the middle of the foot, and opened in front to display the neatest of cream-colored stockings, embroidered with pink. By Heavens! if you had seen Nellie Mason this morning swinging her ercam lace parasol, on which was a delicate light pink bow to match her sash ribbon aud the pink embroidery on her stockings—I say if any of you dusty, old, cross New York fellows ha scen her waiting for Albert Munson to take her to Congress Spring, you’d a missed the train to stare at her. “Take my diary and fan, Uncle Eli,” said Nellie; call I want is my parasol in the park,” and then she took Albert Munson’s arm and walked down the street past the big hotels, to- ward Congress Spring. “A young lady’s diary!” I said, as I looked at the little Russian leather book; ‘I wonder what isin it?” Then I carefuliy opened the little book and read a carelessly written diary of what Nellie Mason saw yesterday in Saratoga: “Sanatoca, Thursday, Aug. J.—Such a morn- ing! ut up my hair in crimps. Crimped it this morn- he with the iron, Burat-it. Wore white and biue—aivful light blue last night.

I'm always overdoing it! “ Nine o'clock, breakfast. Ido believe Albert Joves me. He gave mea bunch of lilics. Nellie Dodge toid me about her three new lovers. One's old Hamilton, the widower, rich as Croesus. She treats him well so’s.to ride in bis dog-cart. Another’s beautiful, sweet De Viney. Pa" says he's a French adventurer,—but such eves! De Viney’s an awful flirt,— perfectly atrocious! Always wants to corner © you on the baleony and talk love right in your ear. He's sweet! Then there's Walter Tangdon, A. M., stiff and learned, or learn—ed, a3 Walter says. Good Lord, deliver us trom one of these stiff, proper young men! Floyea flirt. The girl never lived who got mad because a fellow kissed her—if he was the right fellow. [wish Albert knew this, but the good fellows are all fools; and if a tel- low knows how to make love he’s sure to be poor, or, us pa says, an adventurer. “fen o'clock, music on the balcony. Ladies all dressed in muslins, with their sleeves toshow their arms., De Viney says my arms are too lovely for anything. I love that fraud! Two dashing widows came down with awful short dresses and such stockings! And didn’t every- bouy see ’em, too? I wish I was a widow—a rich widow; I'd outstocking the whole crowd. Sweet stockings and bare arms do take the fel- lows! “Such gossiping as I heard today! Mrs. Jones says she heard the Fox girls washing their own pocket-handkerchiefs! Did you ever? Mrs. Dasis says the rich Mrs. Jonnson refused to’ pay her washerwoman extra for washing fluted dresses; and they say the Smiths have lost all their money, and have got to wait tilla rich uncte dies before they can come to Saratoga. again. It’s ail money, money, money bere; no brains required. I know a school-teacher here who used to board at Dr. Strong’s. She chanced to marry a rich husband, and now even she chases after Belmont and Vanderbilt. We al) sat under our parasols during the music. Such aplaceto flirt!

Rockland Courter, Atall woman with a sharp nose was raking up ayard on Masonic strcet one day last week. She had her dress tucked up, a ridiculous hand- kerchief tied over her head, and looked like a fright generally. A cross-eyed man, dréssed in asuit of light clothes, came up the street, and, noticing the woman, leaned over the fence and remarked: How sweet is the rosy-posy!” “Eh! what's that?” exclaimed the tal] woman, vothtow charm the lovel ‘ow charming appears the lovely popsy- wopsy with its dress turned up!” replied the eross-eyed man. ‘-Who're you'talking to, any way?” said the tall woman, in great surprise, and turning red in the face. “ My own ducky-lucky is exqisitely transcen- dental with thes handkerchief,” observed the cross-¢yed man, winking mysteriously with his straight cye, ry “Tvs iny opinion you're drunk,” exclaimed the tall woman, inarage; “clear out, or Lil call the police.”” “And would my sweet cherry-blossom set the wicked police on her lovey-povey?” said the cross-eyed man, “* “ Clear out, you great overzrown windmill!” screamed the tall woman, wrathfully, “or.

Nowhere are bathing habits so peculiar as at Ovean Grove. An avenue a quarter of a-mile Jong, and very broad and straight, leads dowh tothe shore, and many there be that walk in it in-bathing costumes. There are bathing-houses on the beach, but the majority of bathers go to and from the shore in their bathing suits. The broad avenue presents at certain times of the day very odd sights, the most noteworthy of which are women and girisinsacks and trousers. At Long Branch the bathers of the gentler sex lose no time between the shelter of the water and the shelter of the shanties; but here they saunter leisurely the entire distance of a quar- ter of a mile or more, stop to chat with friends, and are not, apparently, disconcerted by the gazing of bystanders. They are all bare-footed, and many are bare-leeged nearly to their knees. There is no exaggeration in this description. ‘The writer saw to-day, in a party of bathers who were going dripping to their tents or cottages, three girls of from 17 to 20 years, whose gar- ments reached barely below their knees. They were conforming to the fashion of the place. PLAY CALLING. “What kind of house will be play?” asked one little girlof another. “Oh, play calling,’? replied the other. “Mary, here, she can be Mrs. Brown, and sit on the step, and me and Julia will call upon her, and ask her how she is, and how her husband is, and if the baby's rot over the meastes, and tell her how nice she jooks in her new wrapper, and hope it won't hurt ber much when she has that tooth filled. And then we'll. say, ‘Good-by, Mrs. Brown; come and see us some time or other, and bring the children and your sewing; and you're such astranger we don’t sce half enough of you.’ «ind then me and Julia will courtesy and walk off a piece, and I'll say to Juliu, ‘Did you ever see such a horrid old fright as she looks in that wrapper? And then Julia, she'll Bay, ‘The idear of anybody having false teeth filled)? And then PN) py “Yes, and wat a homely lot of dirty little rate them young ones of her’n is!? Let’s play it; what-do you say?” REVIVING OLD TIMES, : Boston Globe, A tramp came down the dusty road. and sat down to rest on the steps of a house ina quict village street. Through the windows the voices ofa man and wife in violent altercation were heard, and the tramp listened intently. Angry words, and occasionally a sound of something thrown, came to his ears, and he could hardly sit still. At last, evidently, the wife had taken a broom, and the blows fel! fast afd furious. Our tramp could stand it no longer, but, rush- ing around to the side door, darted in, and, stepping between the loving pair, cried in a husky voice: ‘ Give'us aclip or two with the broom, old woman; it seems just like old times.” No matter how much we wander, the old home feeling will get us once in a while. DECLENSIONS AND CONJUGATIONS. Harper's Draicer. Miss S——, an Amencan heiress and quite beautiful, has been exciting much admiration in London during the present season, and is about to marry, it is said, the son of ‘a nobleman con- nected with the Royal household. American heiresses are by no means shunned abroad; quite the contrary, for they are generally as well educated and in every way as presentable as their foreign sisters, and do not accept the first impecunious scion of nobility that has a coronet about him. Some years ago the daugh- terof an American minister in London was much aought after by patrician youngsters. She was one day discovered writing letters, and ob- served, “Iam writing my declensions. This Lon- don is a good enough place for flirtations, but 1 mean to conjugate at home.’ SUMMER-SENTIMENT. Austin (Nev.) Reveille. Whether it was because sound is transmitted more distinctly when the night is dark than when fair Luna is shedding ber refulgent rays ‘on the front gate, or whether it was because he was deaf and she spoke in a loud tone of voice, may never be known: but the whole neighbor- hood beard her say, “Dear George, your mus- tache grates like a new Russian towel; but I wouldn’t bave you cut it off for anything on this green earth.” Then there was a sound as of a rock thrown into a pond, then the creaking of agate, and then naught broke the stillness but the tramp, tramp, tramp of a pair of stogy boots on the graveled street. THE BEBE BLOUSE. London Truth. ‘The bebe blouse is the last invention of ihe Paris dress-makers, and has already made its way in marine villas and country seats. Itisa kind of overall of blue, or brown, or white, in Holland linen, cut out like a blouse, with loose sleeves, and trimmed with fancy braids. The chateaine, inviting a party of iriends,. provides bebe blouses for the ladies to throw on when they are going to walk, to drive, or to luncheon, This garment enubles women of fashion to avoid dressing more than once for the whole day and evening, when the smocks are cast aside, anda flower or bow of ribbon stuck in the hair. This is a sensible device for cconomizing time, trouble, and money. Sa “REST AT LAST.” (The last words of the noted: actress, Lucille Western, were: ‘*Rest at Inst."") Ring down the curtain! Shade the light! ‘The drama’s over of Life's last night. A Weary soul from Earth’s griefs has paseed ‘To the haven of joy, and found ** rest at last." ‘The tired spirit, at day's purple dawn, Passed over the river to that unknown bourne Whence no one returns, Earth's sorrows recede, and there's **rest at last.* A fair young girl. who had vainly fought The battle of Life—had ambitiously wrought That on Fame's bright scroll hgr name should be cast— Smilinely bade Earth adieu, saying: **Rest at ‘The Rubicon passed, And thus to us all there comes an hoor hen Wee a ne brighteat dower; ly ry wit oiling, our future o'erc: How gladly we welcome er “rest at last. ah = Mrs. F. A. Tassenm New Yorx. Of Union Square Compaay. a oe A Bird that Waltzes, e Kingston Freeman has the followin story about’ a bird in the collection of a dealer in that city: “This bird is a bobolink, and, jt seems, took as naturally to dancing as a country maiden at an apple-bee. He is 2 yery sprightly bird, and though his owner knew he ‘Was some- thwg more than an ordinary bird, he had no idea that he could waltz, until one day, while whistling a German tune, the bird suddenly cocked bis head to one side, and with a knowing Jook and a tively ‘Bobolink, bobotink, spink, neg Tepcta commenced te wall threes lar step of ‘one, two, ee,” as. though he had his mind’s eye even the artistic rules of the dancing master, His evolutions - were very graceful, the whirl being made off the perch, as it were, only his toes touching as he twirled himself completely around. This is a good illustration that our American birds are fully as wise as those in the old country, if not more £0, for this one at least had never been taught as the Ger- man birds are. The dancing bird is moulting now, but when he again recovers the elasticity and vigor of his body, he will, no doubt, give some new exibition of terpsichorean skill.”* ETERNAL REST, ‘* And there shall no night be.” Ab! not for me Eternal day after Life's surting sen, But rather endless rest and drcamlesa sleep For eee that open but to watch and weep: Give but to me a long and dreatless sleep. ‘* No night, but rather an eternal day.” Ah! not for me, with Intest breath 1 pray. After ** Life's fitfal fever " may I dreamless sleep, And for me let no loving eyes e’er weep: Life’s burdens heavy werc—Death’s slambers will be deep. ‘* Sunlight and music through the endless day.” Task for quiet, where eternal ray May ne'er be found: give me this longed for reat I then indeed in dying shall be bleat; Fate nevermore can spurn or me caress. No weary cares intrude—no sin—no wrony. O grant me quiet sleep, dreamless and lung. Aus. 19, 1877. Aupney Vernon. AUCTION SALES. By GEO, P..GORE & CoO., 68 and 70 Wabash avenue. DRY GOODS.
