So they are all scattered and gone, and the old house is tenantless, and there is nobody there to say good night, and nothing but the rain can come in, and the birds that have built them a nest among the broken stones of the hearth, and the sheep that take shelter from the pitiless storm under the wall that is whole; and yet now we think of it, there is a wouder- ful dignity about the old place.

Did not the old homestead have very much to do with the fashioning of our thoughts? Was it not, as it were. an humble mould, for the shaping of our fancies? Did we not bear away with us, wherever we went, a cabinet of pictures that were painted there’? Haye you forgotten what a shapeless thing it was that used to lurk in the dark at the top of the stairs, aiways in wait to eateh you on your way to bed. but reverdo- ing it?

But when she told us of ghosts in white that made no footfall when they walked; of their hauds, how cold they were; of their laugh, how glittering and ghastly it was—have you furgot- ten how we drew a little nearer, as the tale wenton, and thought the light was burning dim aud blue, and begged her to stir the sleeping fire. and dare not lovk behind us where the shadows were, and fancied something sighed or spoke, and syllabled our names’? Each voice subsided to a whisper—all but Doily’s; and she went on, with castles grim, and spectres dim, and dungeons deep. and ladies fair, while her glittering needle darted in and out along the lengthened hem. At last, one of us is thronged upon her lap; and another begs to lay his head therein; and still the tales go on. The clock is on the stroke of nine, and how we dreaded the last shrillchime! Itcame, and we went reluctantly to bed. How dark the hall was: and the door must be left open a little; and ‘-Doliy, are you there?”’ and “Dolly ood night.”’ aud Doliy something, just to hear fee speak, came from under the quilts we had drawn over our heads, and we wondered what rattied the windgy, and what shook the bed, and didn't you feel something cold, or hear something step, and how we all wished we were asleep, or it was moruing, or the sun shone all nght. How we ruffered then and nobody knew it, and nobody bade us be brave. Well, years have passed, but we build castles as we did then, and feel just such great cold shadows as used to lurk in the hall, and people them with furms no eye has ever seen. The " ix-Gov Alex.

There is such a thing us absolute slovenliness on the one hand and « ld be painful neatness on the other—hoth sho avoided. Journeying upon the high-roa town of late, we passed the house of a citizen whe is blessed with a wife whose ruling passion j isa love of extreme order. She has a fit of horrors if a particle of dirt, from any cause, is seen in her house. No child is ever allowed to visit her premises, lest it should make its tracks on her cleanly floor, or plave its sweaty hands upon the polished furniture; indeed, for this reason, we suppose, she has no chi'dren of her own, and we would not bless or curse her husband with such troublesome responsibili- ties. A married old maid, that i», one who ro mains an old maid after marriage, may make & men a neat wife,—rather a neat housekeeper; but that is all the good she will do him. Tho lady alluded to refuses to open her doors to the callsof neighbors, or the visits of her husband's business friends, for feas they will pollute her floors or soil her furniture. So, though » housekeeper for the last fifteen years, we pre- sume ten persons never saw the orderly neat - ness of her parlor, or took a cup of tea at her table. The day we passed the house, we noticed a profound stillness about the premises. The grass in the door yards had received the im press of no feet, humaa or canine; none but the feline race was allowed this liberty. Nota stick, or stope was out of its place. All was exact and stiffto a fault. The blinds of every witdow, above aud below, except one in the back kitchen, where the lady kept her private throne, were all closed, and two sets of cur- taing withiu made darkness visible in every room, lesta fly should have light enough to ve therein. Te looked like a tomb—so quiet, orderly, so solitary, so paiufully neat. We do love to see some marks of careless freedom —some tokens of active life—some evidences that the world is not all made for the mint and cummin, but thet the weightier matters of the law are allowed a predominance in the eal- culations of housewifery.—| Drew's Intallr- gencer. ———_—- — + ___ Ecceytricities or Costrwe.—There is no part of our costume, either male or female, which has not already passed from ome extreme of absurdity to another, and been most ad mired at the highest potut. Coats have been worn with voluminous skirts dangling about the wearer's heels, and with scanty lappels, descending six inches below the waist. Cont sleeves at one time fitted skin tight, and more than ence have been so wide as to sweep the ground. Flapped waist-coats, which, ia the time of George I., reached nearly to the siock- ings, were soon cut 20 short as to be nearer to the arm-pits than the thigh. The close fitting, tightly strapped trousers contrast ludicrously with the trunk hose of the sixteeath century, stuffed out with five or six pounds of bran, to such an extent that, asa Harlien mauvscript tells us, alterations had to be made in Parlia- ment House, so as to afford additional accom- modations for the members’ seats. It ix re- lated that a fast man of the time, on rising to conclude a visit of ceremony, had the paisior- tune to damage his nethor integaments, by a protruding nail in his chair—so that by the time he gained the door, the escape of bran was so rapid as to cause a collapse. It may have been that similar mishaps caused the substitution of wool or hair for bran, which afterwards beeame common. Holmes, in his ‘+ Notes of Dress,”" says: “A law was made against such as did stuff their ‘ bryches’ to make them stand out; wheroas, when a certain prisoner (in theso times) was aceused for wearing these bryches contrary to law, he began to excuse himself of th and endeavored, little and little, te d barge himself of that which he did wear within them. He drew out a pair of sheets, two table cloths, ten napkins, four shirts, a brush, a glass, a comb, and a night cap, and other things of use, saying: ‘lour lordship may understand that, because I have no safer storehouse, theso pockets do serve me for a room to Jay my goods in; and thouzh it be a strait prison, yet it is a storehouse big enough for them, fur I have many things more yet of value within them.” And so his discharge was accepted and well laughed at.” ———-—+—+__ Remarkas.e Occurrence.—Acircumstance of a somewhat extraordinary character occur- red a short time since in one of the flouri-hing towns of the midland counties. A clergyman died, and his wife and daughters, on the third day after his decease, recollecting that no likeness remained, it was agreed, ere the grave closed over him, that the body should be enshrouded and a portrait taken. A young lady of some professional celebrity was en- gaged forthe task. She, with the assistance of the attendant, took off the shroud and placed the body in the requisite posture; but, other duties requiring the artist’s attention, the sketch was deferred till noon. About twelve o'clock, at the foot of the bed, the lady com- meneed and went through an hour’s werk on this image ef death. At this stage of the pro- czedings, by some unaccountable motion, the head of the death-like figure fell on the side Nothing daunted, the artist carefully took the head to replace it, when, lo! the eyes — ed, and staring her full in the face, the dead inquired, ‘Who are you?’ The young pro fessional, without trepidation, took the band- age from his head and rubbed hismeck. He immediately saw the shroud, and laughed im- moderately The artist quietly called the family; their joy may be imagined, but can- not be deseribed hat evening, he who had lain three daysin his shroud, bemoaned b mother and sisters with agonizing tears, glad- dened their hearts by taking his accustomed place at the tea-table, and at this moment is making an excursion in North Wales.—Bed- ford (England) Temes. A Perririep Ixp1ax —While engaged in excavating recently upon the Milwaukee and La§ Crosse Railroad, near Schlessengerville, lowa, the workmen came upon the petrified remains of an Indian, and with the remains some singular relies of olden times. The body was perfect, not having suffered by decay. His height at the present time would be con- sidered gigantic, measuring seven feet two inches. On his breast was a plate of copper, onwhich were engraved numerous hierogiy- phics, the meaning of which can bardly be imagined. But n Ba they are, a record of the past. Could these hieroglyphies, be read, they might, perhaps unveil some of the m: stery | which hangs like adark cloud over the red man. An arrow of considerable strength and of very curivus construction was also found with him, and especially invites the attention of antiquarians, | Ricw Joxe.—The Syracuse Standard tells | ey | of a resident of that city, ‘‘a staid, | midd — itleman, the father of a large =v of children,”’ having got into a laugh- al € scrape recently, in this way: 7" ‘Ho had taken a letter from the office di- rected to his name, which being somewhat illegible, he took home for his wife and daughter to decipher. It turned out to be a letter informing him that be had just become the father of a fine child, weighing nine pounds without its clothes; that its fond mother was much better than could be expected,’ and earnestly requesting him to visit his loving wife and ing on the coming Saturday, and bring with him four diaper pins, a few yards of flannel, and a number of other Lom 4 things.’ The lesson the old gentleman | was, not to carry any letters home for his wife to read till he was satisfied of their con- tents.’’ —_+ ++ Ovr Apvicr.—Miss —— she would like very much to do som so as to have her “name in the paper.” We have advised her it dg who to have Avs name put in with
