Come to me, come to me, beautiful one,
Thou of the soul-lit eyes;
Siugto me as my mother sang—
Whispering lullabies.
For my spirit longs for its sweet first love—
Fair blushing bud of spring—
And fain would at thy feet once more
Its old-time worship fling.
Oh, many'a year has come and gone
Since we stood hand in hand, ,
0n the wlte shore sand of maidenhood—
That pearl-strewn white shore sand.
Oh, the years that were heavy with sorrow,
The years that lapsed between i
But tonight my wandering soul returns
Again to thee, my queen.
Let me catch the gleam of thy glittering wing
'l‘hy proud crest dyed in wine ; ’
Let me catch the note that rings from thy
throat I
In ccstacy divine.
Let us clasp our hands as we did of yore,
‘ Beyond where the shadow lies,
And thou shalt teach me the old time songs,
Thou bird of Paradise. '

an Yonx, Sept. 31, 1864.
run rouse MAN ABOUT rows.
I had the curiosity the other day to sit in
one of the clubs of this city a part ofa day,
to the end of studying t (biiy life of the
“ young man about tow ,-.’ a class very nu-
merous in this city, where fortunes, colossal
in their proportions, were made by the last
generation for the present generation to
spend. It was a curious study, and one, I
trust, that carries with it a moral. .
The young man about town is, of .rse,
wealthy. Ills father made a large fortune
in something, and sent the young man to
college. He graduated somehow, without
learning anything, and being too rich to fol-
low any business, gave his whole mind (it
wasn’t much to give) to the spending of it.
- His day commences at noon,when he rises.
Before he gets his pantaloons on he'staggers
to his side-board and swallows a brandy
cocktail to give him a little litq fdr the night
before took out of him all the vitality he“
had, and his sleep has not been sound or
refreshing. Before he has himself encased
in his elegant clothes, he has swallowed
four or five of these invigorators, and has
got up enough friskiness in his stomach to
be able to eat a breakfast, which he does at
his club. .
He may play at being a broker, in which
case he goes to Wall street, and with a set of
choice spirits of the same kidney, he makes
a few ‘“ transactions," going out for cock-
tails before and after each one. After busi-
ness hours, he drops in at Delmonico’s,
and takes a bite of something, drinking
the while every fifteen minutes, and at
"about say six in the evening he is ready for
dinner. 'At dinner he drinks chablis, sher-
ry, champagne and burgundy, and winding
up with cognac.
This brings him to the serious business of
the day. He may go to the opera with his
sister, or the unfortunate young lady who is
to be his wife, or he may join a “stag party,"
and drop in at one of the theatres for an,
hour, Following this he goes, if he is in a
virtuous frame of mind, to a ball or two,
dancing a little at each, and drinking a
great deal; or, if in a vicious mood, there
are balls of the demi-monde. In default of
these, there is always a game of draw-poker
at the clubs, with stakes unlimited; or, if
his system demands a fiercer excitement,
there are the fare-banks, where, with the aid
of wine and brandy, the young man loses as
much money as he chooses, and me propri-
etors generallv manage .that he shall lose a
great deal. He keeps at this steadily till six
o’clock in the morning, when he goes home,
not drunk, but in a semi-intoxicated and
a generally befuddled condition, anddrops
into a sleep which is not natural—an alchol-
ic sleep that comes from the sheer inability
of a not over-strong constitution to bearany
more stimulants and cigars; for be it
known, this gentle youth smokes the strong-
est of cigars every minute of the time that
he is not in bed or in the presence of decent
women. ‘ i » " .
The “ Young man about town” does not
confine himself to the three vices of alco-
hol, tobacco and gambling. Not be. There
is not a an of doubtful character in the
city who .. nknown to him; and he has al-
ways one, and generally. more, mistresses,
who share his income with the fare-banks,
the liquor and cigar dealers. .
He dies at something less than forty, as a
rule, though if he lives beyond that age, it
is to wish that he had died before; for his
death is not the ordinary dissolution. It is a
break-up. The system, enfeebled by dissi-
pation, kept alive by stimulants, and drain-
ed by every known excess, comes to a point
where stimulants will no longer act, for the
tissues upon which they acted are gone.
There is not enough of the man left for rum
to take hold of, and as rum has kept the
machine running for years, it is really all
there is of it. Then it breaks and goes ‘in a
minute. There is no fuel for the fire to take
_ 1.61.1 of, and it dies. .
Poor fellow l A life that might have bless-
ed the world enderb with not“ a good deed
to leave behind—a career characterized by
nothing but lust and self indulgence, and a
death mourned only by the harpies who
ministered to his sins, their regret being
that he did not live long enough to squander
upon them his entire fortune. :
There are forty thousand of these youn
men in New York this day living the life I
have only in part described.
'rnn " cosimrrc Aurtsr. '
If the young men of New Ytfi are given
to onekind of dissipation, the isters are
to another. There are in the city at least
one hundred men and “women 'who have
amassed, or are amassing, large fortunes by
beautifying women. The cosmetic artist is
generally a lady whose antecedents are un-
known. Where she comes from no one
knows, but she always professes to come
from that especial vanity-thir, Paris. She
lives in a severely respectable neighborhood,
and no sign advertises her calling, for no
lady would, for the world, be seen .flsiting
a known beautifier. She is admired by her.
customers, and if she is skilful she has
enough of them. , ,
What does she do? Look at the complex:
ions on Broadway, and there find your ans-
wer. A lady has good enough features, but:
her complexion is bad. She would be com-
§letely beautiful, so she goes 'to Madame
-,—-. Madame seats her‘ in achair, dips
a sOft brush into a villainously smelling
liquid,’and paints the face, the neck and
bust, and presto, the sunburn, tan, freckles,
or whatever may be thetrouble, have disap-
peared, and in lieu thereof, there is a com-
plexion as clean, clear, soft and beautiful as
the most exacting could wish, This is en-
ameling. _ The preparation is a mineral
paint that simulates the clearest flesh, and it
stays on several days without repairs, which
gives Madame a mortgage on her purse.
Unfortunately for the artist, the mineral
gets into the s stem, and the victim dies in
a few years 0 paralysis; but as there is a
new class of vain women born every year,
she never lacks customers. _ -
The hair is another source of revenue to
the beautifiers. Does the lady want to con-
vert her black tresscs into the ellow,'now
so popular? Nothing easier. he hair' is
plastered with something shout as pleasant
as lime, which must be kept on night and
day fcr a week or so, which bleaches it to
the color requirid. the eye-brows being simi-
larly treated, that the effect may be harmo-
nious. True, this induces paralysis, but
where is the woman who would not take
the chances of paralysis for the enhance-
ment of her beauty? Is the forehead too
high? Madame shaves the hair on the for?
head an inch or two, and applies a liqui
which she makes, and a fine fuzz row’s.
This is shaved again and again till it gets
thick, and long enough to be arranged to the
taste of the wearer. . .
Women are not the only patrons of Mad-
ame. Men write her from all parts of. the
country for her preparations to make hair
grow and to change the color of hair. ,,
Theydrive a profitable trade, for a womafi ‘
may go without sufficient underciothing but
she will have the means of beautifying her-
self. Bridget, in the kitchen, buys ten cents'
worth of white lead for her face, and the
mistress up stairs pays the cosmetic artist
$100 for enameling; but it is all to one end.
One-half the world lives on the vanity and
folly of the other half.

satisfied, dnd the old rebel revenge gives a
periodical manifestation of itself in stabbing
the Government by murdering its defenders:
Mr. Greeley having championed their cause
of reconciliation, he was put forward for
the Presidency by the firmest adherents of
Republicanism as another concession to the
South, and accepted by them as the least
objectionable of any of their former oppo-
souls, and I cast my votc'for'bim, not only
upon his intrinsic merits and lofty patriot-
ism, but as still another means of pacifyiug

defeat of Mr. Greeley, I'wss perfectly wil-

conscious that the intelligence and patriot-
ism of the American people were all suffi-
cient to reform the abuses of their delegated
power. Many other original Republicans,
who have never been in any way or manner

'who conscientiously‘voted for Mr. Greeley,

Two Clsy Lives-
_ The son of a. Long Island farmer grew up
in the great city of New York. He had a
busy, live intelligence, an! he was attracted
to the world’s arena instinctively. He
w‘ould not be a farmer; he would be a great
man —a man of business. He served as of-
fice boy in various localities. He did not
stay long in a place; he was smart—too.
smart. He was what business men calla
fast boy, and clergyman call a. bad .boy.
His acute intellqct, unguided, had turned
into dangerous paths, following the lead of
emotion and instinct; We live in two
worlds—the steady, strong undercurrent- of
hard facts and stern work and struggles,
and the lighter, superficial current of pleas-
ure, of ideals, of amusement, passion, ex-
citement. It was towards this world that,
as he grew older, he gravitated. He hated
discrplinc and liked freedom. He became a
commercial ‘aveler, and then theatrical
agent, and then gambler; he tried the manu-
facture of whisky, kept a taro bank, was
treasurer of a circus. He was bound to
make a living by his wits. He was like all
the rest of us—he wanted to make money
without work. . -
It is not just to say he was a bad young
man either; he had the reputation of being
a capital fellow. He was only one of the
types now_so common in American cities; of
a quick mind that shrinks from that which
is hard and difi‘cult, cultivating the feelings
only, living a dashing, “liberal” life. His
permanent occupation at last became that
of a'master gambler—(inc who gets money
by playxng upon the passions of his fellows
instead of upon their necessities. _He sold
lottery tickets. His pleasures were of the
sort known as masculine, 2'. 6. alcohol and
athletics. He talked horses, yachts, and
fighting; he was muscular himself, and in
disposition shrewd and envious—a Cassius,
a man to keep “ the right side of;" more
than once when in liquor and quarrelsomc
he was known to handle his pistol much
too freely for the safety of his companions.
He had many friends. One of these was
a Southerner, a plump,’jovia1 man, with. a
fund of good nature. They became part-
ners in the lottery business. Time wore
on; they made money and married. Who
shall say they were not highly respectable
citizens? They broke no law, they attend-
ed to their own business, and their passion
dor horses brought them into good com-
pany. They worked exceedingly well to-
gether; when, the shrewdness of the slender,
dark-eyed man failed, the fat goOd nature off
the partner, inspiring confidence“. succeeded.
After a. unmbcr of ' years, however, the se-1
really of this friendship became disturbed.
A separation came. ‘Each thought he could
do better alone, and each tried, thus divid-
ing the stream of business, each trying to
bring over to his side as much .as possible.
After tnat they begando eyeLeach other
askance; love turned to jealousv, and then.
to hate. .- ' .'
The situation became threatening. A f.
along life passed in which the daily occu-
patron has been that t'o which the common
herd is the amusement, and in which the
daily rccreation is what w'th the mass is
diSSlpflllOD, the 'mind gradually becomes
undermined and loses its equilibrium; lit-
tic by little are developed great passions -
instead of principles for guides of action
the soul gets into a habit of yielding to_ the
strong feeling that is uppermost; the inner
man turns to lava from such'conStant ex-
citement and fire; a volcano grows up be-
neath the calm exterior, and only wants a
fitting occasion for an eruption. The Lon"
Island farmer boy of sober Dutch descen‘t’,
by his course of life, had reared within him-
self another man—a savage, an‘ “Italian
brigand, all hidden from sight by the mask
of the man of the world. His hatred and
jealousy for his former partner became a
mania. No ill-luck or misfortune came
that was not attributed to him. His old
partner was taking his friends, his business,
and his reputation, be thought. , ‘
The result is briefly told, and is yet vivid
on the minds of the inhabitants of this and
adjoining cities. The estranged partners
met. ‘one-winter evening in Liberty street;
one was stabbed to his death, the other was
maimed for life. Only two days ago his
trial 'for murder was" brought to a close.
I‘hc Jury was merciful, and he was saved
from the gallows, but is destined to spend
what should have been the happy years of
hli‘lll'll in a couvict’s cell in State prison.
'lhe moral is plain, and the story should
be a. warning to all those who seek wealth
by .other means than the old-ibshioncd path
of 1ndustry.——-N. 1’. Graphic.

In early morning, when the air
Is full of tender prophecy,
And rose-hue faint and pearl-mist fair
Are hints of splendor yet to be.
The lilies open. Gleaming white,
Their fluted cups like onyx shine,
And golden hearted in the light,
They hold the summer’s rarest wine.
Ab. lovc, what mornings thou and I
Once idly drifted through, afloat
Among the lilies, with the sky
Cloud-curtained o’er our tiny boat? ‘
Noon climbed space with ardent feet;
The goblets shut whose honeydew
Was overbrrmmed with subtle sweet
While yet the silver dawn was new.
The pomp of royal crowning lay
0n dsisied field and dimpling dell,
And on the blue hills far away
In dazzling waves the glory fell.
And flashing to our measured stroke,
The water seemed a path of gems,
Beneath whose clear refraction broke
A grove with mirrored fronds and stems-
In music on the sparkling shore
The plashing ripples fell asleep;
We laid aside the dripping car,
For one delight we could not keep.
In all the splendor further on
We missed the morning’s maiden blush ;
Thefioft expectancy was gone,
The brooding haze, the trembling flush.
—Homar’s Magazine for October.
The Blslory of flats.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Morning Standard thus summarizes some
French gossip on hats: It was Burke, I be-
lieve, who said that the hi'story of Parisian
revolutions was the history of mobs. Au
ingeniogs archmologist supplies the Debatis
with an interesting paper, from which it
may be inferred that the history of revolu-
tions is also the history of hats. According
to this learned person the “chimney-pot,”
which, though universally worn, is as gen-
ernlly abused as the most inconvenient of
all head coverings, is an institution vener-
able for its antiquity. Chimney-pot bats
were commonlv worn in Thibit long before
the days of Magna Charla. There were,
however, distinctions. A native of Thibet
in those days could tell who and what the
wearer was from the color of his bat. It
was white for civilians, black for oflicials,
yellow for monks, and the Grand.Lama
alone had—and the Debats assures .us still
retains—the privilege of wearing a“ chap-
eau” of the finest red. . , .
The Debuts regrets to find that the He-
brews have not in any way contriuted to'
hatology ; but thewriter surely goes a little
too far inferring from the fact that he has
been unable to discover any Hebrew name
for hat, that the Jews entirely discarded
that useful article of dress. The Spartans
wore felt hats, not that they particularly af-
fected any covering for their heads, but as a
distinguishing mark. The felt hat was the
outward sign which distinguished the free:
man from the helot. The natives of Egins
wore hats of a peculiar character. They!
were so thick that they might serve for a,
shield, so heavy that they formed a danger-
ous offensive weapon. When Draco went
to Crete he went to the theatre to read out
his code of laws. The Cretan: determined
that he should be summarily extinguished,
and forthwith they threw their hats at him.
Draco did not recover. The bats had
proved too much for him. I was not my-
self aware of this curious episode, but if it
is founded on fact it is, I believe, the only
instance on record. The Romans-.—sensiblc
people—only wore hats for use—not for or-
nament—broadbrimmed straw hats to keep
off the sun and min.
In France hats appear to have been worn
toward the close of the “Hundred Years’
War.”. The first king that is represented
with this civilian head gear is Charles VII.
When he went to Rome he were On his sol-
, emn entry a chimney-pot hat with a piece
of gold braiding round it,not unlike the
hats now occasionally worn by footmen.
Louis XI—a sensible man—discarded hats
and resumed the convenient and picturesque

favorite head dress of most of his forefath-
ers. It was not, however, until the days of
the League and the religious wars that the
hat rose into political importance, The
Hugenots wore tall felt hats not unlike
with a single feather; the Catholics wore
short felt hats, adorned bv the double cross
adopted by the house of Lorraine. '
Under Louis XIII and Louis XIV the hat
became once more a social symbol. The
hat in general use was a three-cornered af-
fair, like that worn by London coachmsn
on levee and drawing-room days. But doc.
.s were chimney-pots about two feet high;
priests were, on the contrary, shovel-hats of
' the same pattern as that of Don Basilio in
the “ Barbiere.” Under Louis XV the but
was an article for ornament, not use; peo-
ple used to wear it, not on their heads, but
under their arms. The revolution cams
, and made very short work of hats and the
, heads that wore them. When Napoleon
fell, and “ Louis le Desire” returned to “ the
throne of his fathers," the hat sgainbecams
a political emblem. The partisans of Na-
poleon“ wore. h e machines with a broad
turn-up bri ghing over a pound: the
Legitimist nned light, tall silk hats, ta~
. pering to a point, with a very narrow brim.
Duels—fatal duels—too, were then very
' frequent, and it was sufficient to bring about
a deadly rencontre for the wearer of a nar-

In 1825, when the consolidated debt was
partly reducedto three per cent.,a new
style of low-crowned hat became very fasho
ionable, under the designation of “ Reduced
Consol.” The successful insurrection in
Peru was commemorated by Parisian Lib:
erals by chapeauz a la Bolivar. After the
revolution of, 1830 the Republican party
took to pointed wide awakes, and with
usual absurd love of meddling, the police
made them very popular by prohibitin
them as “ seditious emblems.” At presen
the chimney-pot is generally popular, but it
is not looked upon with favor by Believille.
The chimney-pot is generally set down as
an emblem of reaction, conversation and
anti-republicanism. The soft ,felt hat is the
emblem of republicanism and radicalism of
every shade,fropi that of M. Greyy and»
Victor Augo to the wildest communism,
But the Government is wiser in one respect
than that of Louis Pbillippe. They do not '
prosecute hats for sedition. M. De Lorgeril,
one of the ultras of the Right, has immor-
lalizcd himself by an attempt to tax'chim-
hey-pots, but it has egregiously failed, and
therefore the inconvenient emblem of “re-
action" seems likely to hold it own.
Frowuns you THE Siam—In an upper
room in a poor tenement house lay asick
child, wasted with fever and the prostration
which followed. It had seemed impossible
to rouse him, or excite the slightest interest
in anything. The young lady who had car-
ried her flower basket to the room selected
a bunch of shitting golden buttereups, and
held them up before the child. The dull,
languid eye brightened, the tiny emaciated
hand opened to receive them; too feeble for
a spoken word, the smile that flitted acress
the wee white face was eloquence enough.
The fingers closed tightly over the simple
flowers that were like yellow sunshine to
the little sufferer. When a second visit,
with fresh flowers, was made on Thursday,
the boy’s mother said 3 “ Jimmy would not
lay the flowers cut of his hand while he
was awaie; only when he slept could I put
them in water to freshen them a bit, for he
must have them in his hand again as soon
as he waked.” Sure enough, the little fel-
low still held his withered treasures, which
had been more to him than doctors’ visits or
prescriptions. Fresh flowers from the has-
ket brought a smile and a look of grateful
recognition to his face; the long, wen '
hours of convalescence were lightened an?)
brightened for one little sufferer by the

In a recent letter to the ScienbjfloAmerieqp
Mr. Thomas Hotchkiss, of Sti‘atford, nar-
rates the following interes'ttng anecdote il-
lustrating the ant’s instinct. The occasion
was a sea voyage, and the scene of the strut-
egic waretare was the ship’s pantry, which
had long been infested by ants and roaches.
“Herc," says the writer, “I discovered on
the lower shelf a number of large black
ants in a huddle, and a half dogen by them:
selves, and on the opposite side of the shelf
was some sugar, which the ants did not
seem to notice, which caused me to wonder;
the reason, however, soon became appar-
ent. A cockroach made his appearance, ”and
went for the sugar; and the grou of ants
went for him, and before be fair y got a
taste of the sugar, they had him down and
killed him in less than a minute; then the
six that stood apart from the rest advsnced,
ook up the dead cockroach, and bore him
off the field. The others remained on the
watch. and as soon as another appeared
they all itched in and made short work, as
before. u the meantime the pail-bearers
hadreturned, and took this one off the field,
as they had done the other. I watched un-
til I saw this enacted a halfvdcgen times,
and it was done as regularly as it could have
been by men. The ants kept on killing
the cockroaches until they had entirely
cleared them out, which .took but a ehon
time." . . ‘ -
