The Babe in Christ.
A_ lazy member of a church, ‘
W110 left prayer-meetings in the lurch,
’ Who used to fall asleep in meeting,
And in his trading mix some cheating—‘
Was urged to run the heavenly race,
By a good womalrrich in grace,
And as he ran to use his voice
And bid some wayfarer rejoice.
“ Mother," he answered, in reply, -
‘-' A quiet babe inChrist am I;
I kiss and cling to my dear Lord,
And get in silence great reward.”
" A quiet babe in Christ,” said she,
" That is a curiosity. -
For since the day I was a wife,
I‘ve brought six children into life,
And from the hutnblcst to the proudest,
Each when a baby cried the loudest.
lf‘ cries from little worldlings come,
Why should the babe in Christ be dumb 1‘"

It is finally settled who will write the poem
for the Centennial opening The compliment
of being requested to write it has been passed
round among the elder poets of the country,
and declined by each with thanks in turn.
Mr. Bryant considered that his years ought to
cue-.npt him from the task. Mr. Whittier
:It'vcr writes odes for occasions, and it would
Iu' ctutritt‘y to the habit. of his life to do such
a thing. .‘.Ir. Longfellow hates writing to
order Mr. Lowell declined, and the laure-
ate‘s duty has at last been assumed by the
11111:]. who of American writers is most capa-
hit- of turning out the highest work, as one
may say. under compulsion—7111'. Bayard
'l‘aylor. There is one poet who would have
written up to the style of the occasion—not
Bayard Taylor, but B. F. Taylor——who has
the fittest How of florid English in verse,
adapted to the general contour of the perform-
ance, .who would havefirned red lights and
blue in numbers that would have' scared and
swelled and streamed like a holiday banner.
,I dare say that all the other poets would have
been glad to relinquish the task to him; and
he would not have done the time and audience
discredit. ‘

The real estate agents are playing a hope-
less game befOrc the first of May, trying to
get asnear the Old rents as possible, but the
tenants have the best of it, and something
like this eburse of proceeding goes on. The
tenant asks for lower rent; agent of course
declines and postsa bill on the house “to
rent.” Say thtfilolder has been paying $2,-
700 for the last three years; he now wants to
pay only $1,700. For the first two weeks he
don’t do much‘toward looking for a new
place. for himself, and the agent sticks out
pretty well, till tenant goes to \Vhitestone,
Newark, or some other place of cheap rents,
to hire a house. The day after he gets home,
the agent Calls reund early to say civilly that
it don’t seem worth while to make a change,
as they have been on good terms so long, the
tenant may have the house at his own offer
for a year, but he mast expect a raise next
May. He keeps his house,,hugs himself at
getting his .own price, and calculates that he
will get a new parlor carpet, risking the very
hazy idea of having to move in earnest next
year. Agents may talk about next year for a,
generation to come; nobody is afraid of them
just now. Why should they be, when stores
that rented for $14,000 within three years,
and last year for $7,500, tumble this year to
$5,000? The building occupied by a well
known dry goods firm, year before last rented
for $28, 000. They offered $15,000 for it last
year, which was indignantly refused, and
they moved out. The building stood empty
all last season, and the owners would be very
glad to rent. it for $12,000 today: Things
don’t fall in such a way 1'0 get upagain in any

New York will be more of a point of at-
traction this year thanPhiIadelphia. Every-
body will, of course, go to Philadelphia and,
see the Exposition—then they will 'come to
New York and see the metropolis: I want
to notify visitors that they may come to New
York and stay here long enough to see the
city, thoroughly, at a‘not very large expense.
Avoid the large hotels, avoid the small ones,
and, above all, avoid the European hotels.
In brief, dodge the hotels altogether. Go to
boarding houses, where you can livel'for from
S5 to $0 a week, and be tolerably well taken
care of. At least you will get all you can eat
and good, clean, comfortable beds. These
houses can be found anywhere below Four-
teenth street, either east or west of Broad-
way, and the visitor, whose ability to pay is
limited, can be. accommodated at any price
desirable. Those who have money will, of
course, goto the first-class hotels andbc bled
for the style of the thing, but it is Unnecessa-
ry. Stylish boarding-houses can be found at
from $10 to $12 per week, in-the vicinity of
Lafayette Place and Tenth‘street; or, for the
matter of that, on all the streets in that vicin-
ity.
you come to New York nextsummer, come
prepared to,stay long enough to see what a
great city it really is. 'Walking down Broad-
way and going up to Central Park is not see-
ing New York. You want to get down in
among the poor; you want to see the ship-
ping; Wall street ought to take up two, days;
and then you ought to penetrate the interior
of the great business warehouses in the lower
part of the city, and see something of the
magnitude of their operations. By all means
get into the inside of such an establishment
as Harper’s, and go over to Staten Island and
up the East river, that you may enjoy the
finest water View in the world, and the finest
suburban residences. It wouldn’t hurt you
any to spend a day or two at Long Branch to
see the frivolity of a summer watering place.
. All this can be done for a very little money,
if you only know how. Your wives and
daughters will, of course, want to see Stew--
art’s and the great jewelry-stores; and if you
have any fast for art, the picture galleries are
open all the time. To do this cheaply go to
boarding-houses to live, use the street cars
and stages, and by no means allow yourself
to be seduced into a carriage or_ cab. Street
cars run everywhere in the city—indeed, on
some 'of the lines you may ride seven miles
for five cents. And on Sundays, of course,
you will want to hear Beecher, Tyng, FrothL
ingham and a dozen more of the great lights
with which the city abounds, and in all their
churches you will find plenty of free pews
and good, Christian courtesy and considera-
tion. In all the metropolitan churches espe-
cial pains are taken to make strangers entire-
I y welcome and at their case. By the} way,
don’t fail to attend service once, at least, in
old Trinity, where you will hear the best
church music in the city.

ls slowly improving, but it is nothing to
speak of ; the country merchants are here in'
some force; but they are buying very closely,
as all of them believe that prices have not as
yet struck bottom. The failures for the week
aggregate 1‘33, none of them very large. As
an evidence of the closeness in business mat-
ters, there are 104 empty stores between the
Post Office and 14th street, and they are like-
I y to stay empty for some time to come. They
cannot be rented, for there is no business to
do in them. There will be no building of
any consequence this season, for there are
thousands of empty houses.
POSTAL mountrs.
The city had a scare this week.' The ap-
propriation for the expenses of public build-
ings being all exhausted,zmd Congress having
made no provision for such an emergency, the
postmaster here was notified .10 cutoff the

cessation of business in the post office, and a
virtual closing of it. The city took alarm._
Postmaster James was helpless, and fora day.
it.» seemed very likely that the city would be
without postal facilities. Imagine the conse-
quences of closing the New Yorkpost office!
The business of the whole country passes
through it, and the effect would be felt from
Maine to Texas. But New York was equal
to the emergency; the gas companies authori-
zed Mr. James to go on, they taking their
chances of getting their pay from the govern-
ment, the water board did likewise, and the
merchants pledged money enough to pay oth-
- er expenses till the government could turn it-
self. So we get our letters as usual.

Is worse than was supposed when he got
away. IIe‘has'swindled his old step-mother
' nt of every dollar she had in the world, and
the daughter of Miles O’Rilcy loses every-

father’s estate. This villain ran away owmg
quite. $200,000, and the terrible feature of it
1:, that-this money was almost entirely trust-
funds, placed in his control because of his
reputation for integrity. He sold mortgages
and bonds belonging to estates, and squander-
ed the money in a most reckless manner. As
he was reputed to be rich no one objected to
his high living, and no one thought it singu-
lar; but since his departure it has been dis-
covered that he never had anything—that his
whole life was an imposture. He was a judge
and had held many positions of honor and
' profit, and ‘up to the very day of his flight
could have been elected to any position in the
gift of the people. There seems to be an ep-
idemic of scoundrelism just now.

The spring openings are rather late after
all, but the new bonnets are out, and for the
benefit of my lady readers I hasten to tell
them not to buy scoop bonnets, (unless they
are more becoming than any other,) for the
newest and chbiccst style is a snug little Pur-
isian shape, with high square crown, and
close brim. sloping very narrow toward the
hack, crown and brim being aninch smaller
than last year’s shape, and ever so much more
becoming, having 11 peculiarly neat and mod-
est appearance on the head, as I, though a
more male mortal, can testify from inspec-
tion. The ladies say that they can tell the
shape as far as they can see it, for it is so
much pre tier than the spreading, flaring bon-
nets of home design. ’It seems that no sooner
doesapccniiarly happy French design get
over here, than our designers, as they say, be-
gin to adapt it to American tastes, in which
it loses all its distinctive grace and effect.
The particular fashion, I am told, is only
to be found at the importers, so .I advise 19.-
dies to insist on their milliner’s selecting it
for them when they go on to buy goods.
Rough and ready straws, in close forms, small
and becoming, will be a stylish bonnet this
season, and there is a satin-finished French
rough straw, of beautiful design, that is the
prettiest thing out in bonnets, in a smasculine
eye, itis so unpretending with all its style.
As usua1,_th_is choice simplicity is not eco-
nomical; an untrimmed hat of this sort cost-
ing $5, and the wreath of wheat or oats
which trims it as much more. Rather coarse
unfinished chips, of alight ccru color, are
the stylish dress hats, either in the scoop or
the other- shape, 'and scarfs of yellow net,
lace, or wide, crepe-like silk ribbon, with
wreaths and masses of fine flowers on or
about the crown, are the, favorite trimming.

Snow 21 Hundred Feet Deep.
A gentleman whorecently came over from
the Pacific slope relates some interesting in-
cidents of the trip over the two great ranges
of mountains. All along the Sacramento
valley everything was ”smiling. ' The
cattle were luxuriating in the grass knee
high, and the plains were decked with flow-
ers. At three o’clock p. m., the train turned
eastward to ascend the Sierra Nevada moun-
tains, and by ten o’clock reached Blue Canon,‘
from which to Truckee the sndw was from
four to twelve feet deep, and in the gulches
it was, in some places, 100 feet deep. Those
who kept snow gauges on the Nevada report
a fall of 380 inches of snow during the win-
ter. Immense snow-plowsoperated by loco—
motives and hundreds of Chinese, had opened
the roads Over the Nevadas, and the train
was on time until it reached the town of
Wells, on the Humboldt mountains. There
they overtook the trains which had left San
Francisco for the east four days previously.
The road from IVclls to Toano (thirty-six
miles) was still blockadcd, no trains having
passed over that section for four days. The
snow was any depth from four to fifteen feet.
As the wind was still blowing, to open ,the
track with shovels was as futile as dipping
the ocean dry with a spoon. Seventeen loco-
motives wcre assembled at the western end
of the blockade, eight of which were put be-
hind an immense snow plow. The five pas-
senger trains were massed into three, and
thus arranged, a charge was made on the
obstruction. As suclt power was hard to
resist, in three hours the snow-plow was
pushed through to Toano, and thc’caravan of
trains reached Ogden only three hours behind
time. But the sw-cessful trial demonstrates
that trains‘can be pushed through any block-
ade ever likely to impede any road. The
change coming down the mountains was as
great as coming up them. In the valley of
Salt Lake farmers were plowing and the at:
mospherc mild. Starting out again in a few
hours, the deep snows were encountered on ,
' the \Vasatch range, so deep that at some of
the villages the comb of the roofs of some of
the houses could only be seen. But there
was no obstruction; yet the ears crowding
along between snow-banks as high as the
roofs was interesting to the passengers——

UNDER THE RAINBOW.
BY ANNIE HERBERT. Z
A rainbow over a boat
Tossed on the billow :
The 'tbrob of a; bird’s heart afloat
Out of the willow;
Softly the bow of the mist
Folded by sorrow;
Sweet sang the bird heart, “011 list!
Hope lightsthe morrow 1"
s . ‘.'
Hauntingly came to my brain
Legends of childhood,
Stirring as sweet mountain rain
Stirs in the wildwood;
True as the faith of a. child,
Far, unattended,
“Treasure on treasure lay piled
Where the arch ended.”
All, for my dream, when the bow
Bends from the billow!
Ah, for my song that must flow
Out of the willow!
Wiser, at last, than of yore,
’ This I am learning:
Joy’s richest cofiers outpour
Sorrow’s hard earning.
Yet it is fearful to know
Fate’s swift deciding,
Severing lives at a blow,
Heartstrings dividing—
Half to love’s Uttermost trust,
Half to vain striving ;
Half to the passionate dust,
Half to the shriving.
Fishermen, sailing afar
Into the morning,
See you my bright, buried star ?
Heed well the warning; '
. When the storm-wreck drives a-Iee,
It may be given
God’s hidden light through the sea,
Home to your haven.
Fisherman’s love on the shore,
Hold your care lightly;
Whether winds whisper or roar,
One ruleth rightly;
Lives of brave women like thine
Thy life can measute;
Each bears its burden divine,
Each knows its treasure.
Rainbow light of the world!
Shine in my heaven;
Bird, when the billow is curled,
Sing on till even;
Then on the rim' of the cloud '
White dews shall glisten;
Then shall all souls that are bowed
Rise up and listen!
Under the sun and the rain
Lieth my treasure,
Where in the heart of the main,
No man can measure;
Lying toofieeply for sign,
Moaning or laughter;
Yet shall its glory be mine
In the hereafter.
General Recipe for a Modern
‘ ' Novel.
Stir in a fool to make us laugh!
Two heavy villains and a half:
A heroine with sheeny. hair,
And half a dozen beaux to spare;
A mystery upon the shore;
Some bloody footprints on the floor;
A shrewd detective chap, who mates
Those foot—prints with the hero’s sights,
. And makes it squally for that gent-—
Till he is proven innocent;
A brown-stone front; a dingle dell;
Spice it with scandal; stir it well;
Serve it up hot ;——and the book will sell.

UNTIL DEATH.
0
Make me no vows of constancy, dear friend,
To love me, though I ‘die, thy whole life
long,
And love no other till thy days shall end—
Nay, it Were rash and wrong. ’
If thou canst love another, be it so;
, I would not reach out of my quiet grave
To bind thy heart, if it should chose to go—
Love should not be a slave.
' My placid ghost, I trust, will walk serene
In clearer light than gilds those earthly
moans, ' ‘
Above the jealousies and envies keen
Which sow this life with thorns.
Thou would’st not feel my shadowy carcass,
If after death, my soul should linger liege;
Men‘s hearts crave tangible, close tenderness,
Love’s presence, warm and near.
It would not make me sleep more peacefully
That thou wert wasting all thy life in woe
For my poor sake; what love thou hast for me,
Bestow it .ere I go!
Carve not upon a stone when I am dead
The praises which remorseful mourners
give .
To woman’s graves—a tardy recompense-
But speak them while I live.
Heap not the heavy marble on my head
To shut away the sunshine and the dew;
Let small blooms grow there, and let grasses
wave,
And rain drops filter through.
Thou wilt meet many fairer and more gay ‘ -
Than I; but trust me, thou canst never find
One who will love and serve thee night and-
day '
With a more single mind.
Forget me when I die I the violets
Above my rest will blossom just as blue,
Nor miss thy tears ; e’en Nature’s self forgets;
But while I live, be truel

ON rm: Sm Bianca—Pretty young lady
in elaborate bathing costume, kicking around
on the beach, about ten feet from the water,
in bare feet :
“ Oh l-o-oh 1 I’m so ’fraid of the watah 1"
Chorus of other girls in liketoggery, twen-
p ty feet away :
“ Ah ! he-he-he he—she's a coward—to.

Pretty girl No. 1, moving a foot nearer the
wet :
“ Aw, pshaw 1 come on now, I’ll dare ye
all. n .
The rest, advancing to where No. 1 stands;
“ 0 ho! who’s afraid—who’s afraid 7"
And there the deer, brave little angels
stand, until a wave breaks a little higher than
usual on the beach, and a tiny bit of foam
touches the end of their aristocratic toes, .
when they all screech out, run into the bath-
ing house, make their toilets, and appearing
at dinner, tell the yawning young gentlemen
that they’ve been having a swim—“ Just too
awful jolly and nice for anything.” '
And the yawning young gentlemen believe

A FOUR-Lacuna Lmnun.—-A gentle-
man living near New York recently had I
barn-raising on-his place, in which a number
of his neighbors assisted. In accordance
with old custom he brewed for them, with
his own hands, several gallons of punch.
upon which, being an expert, be expended
much labor and thought. When the ingre-
dients had been combined to suit his taste,
he carried the punch in a bucket to the scene
of operations, and invited them to partake of
it. They excused themselves for a few mo-
ments, wishing to complete their work,
whereupon he placed the bucket upon a
bench and retired. When, about half an
hour afterward, the men prepared to do jus-
tice to the punch, they discovered to their
consternation that the bucket was empty.
The thief proved to be an Alderny heifer, ‘
which was found to‘be in a very disgraceful
state of intoxication. She had scented the
favorite concoction, and drained it to the
last drop. The animal recovered the next
day, but those for whom the punch was in-
tended were obliged to quench their thirst
with lager.
