Written for the Record. To si Shadow. , FAIBY EELLE. And is there, in this love-bewildered . -J world, One human heart that craves not human love ? X That calm could see its life-dream downward hurled , And only say "accept the shadow lielle ! Oh, spiiit cousin life without love? Aye, human love there's not one true, high heart I Throbbing beneath yon shining stars above, ; But would with life itself far soon er part. ( Tis easy talking, of a love Hke this, Fixed in the skies, which gives the bosom calm: Rut in one answeiing heart-throb there's a bliss Ye would not change for Gilead's ' mystic balm. And have not you felt this? " The earth is bright And I am earthly, so I love it well ; Though Heaven is holiep&nd full of light Y , " .- ; ; Y ' Yet I am frail and with frail things would dweU." Again " Love is not giief nor shame nor sin," And if the first sweet draught, e'en as we taste, ; To. ashes turns, must the parched soul let in . No ether stream that gushes in life's waste? Should "mould create ?" there is a crumbling clay, As every earnest, soulful spiiit , known '------ Form it in classic mould one mur ky day , 'Twill sink into the dust from whence it rose. I would not chill one heart that trusts . - i . m me, Nor from, the path allotted turn v "away, - " . . ; ' But mr y not spirits, linked by sym pathy, Enjoy an hours commune though far away? I care not though the form I ne'er behold, , If the soul's breathing language answers mine ; The darkened scroll from offmy heart is rolled ' And Love's pure essence poured upon its shrine. And not one spirit in ten thousand - here . . ' E'er finds an echo to its quivering thought: Its flash of bright intelligenceits ' i tear - With love and fear and hopeful trembling fraught. ; And when it is so blest, can it be wrong : , To clash but once that hand ex change one glance night inspire, in heaven's Which pure realm, a song Whose notes would fill Eternity's expanse? ' ' If this may never be, oh, why was placed : . By One All-wise tkis struggling stream of love "Within the soul, if it might never taste One answering glimmer from the skies above? Coinius Fashions for Autumn. The Ncjv and Old in Colors Walk iiig suits Fall Costumes Par- ts Modes Bonnets Ab surdities '-The new and varied names at tached to colors are legion, and while many new shadesliave been introduced a large portiou of the prevailing colors are but old nu- l der r new name. X)ark blue shades predominate among the new silk importations. Summer lines, with cashmere, camel's hair, and other fine wool . fabrics have become so popular in these hues that it is prophesied dark blue Bilk suits yill find especial fovor as winter costumes ; and by way of lurtheir r commendation merchants say these French blues are equally becoming; to blondes and brunctts. -r.-- ;'!; " The comprehensive term gros bleu includes various shades with specific names, such aa black-blue, which is very nearly black; old blue, like the colors seen .in En glish china; indigo blue, and the dull Napoleon blue were intro duced in the spring; tourmaline is the color of the stone of that name, and mandarin is the famil iar Chines blue. There are also mongrel blues --vith a dash ot foreign color as, for instance, the gray-blues, among which is a sea tint, a ''deep and dark blue ocean" color, appropriately called, Byron ; a still grayer, more murky shade, is Euxiue blue:vvhilea light tint is known as rosemary. Greenish-blues are not as largely impor ted as formerly,- but a lew - of the peacock shades are in vogue, and labeled canard blue, or shallow blue, a soft dark shade of remarkr able beauty. Among grays the clearest are the slate gray and dark iron gray. Mixed blue-grays and, the reseda tinged green-grays are again dis played, but no longer new ; ox idized silver-gray, and a dark purple-gray that will look well associated with violet, are espe cially admired. Bronzes are dar kcr than ever, and the shades that "will find most favor are Drown and black! Pure shades of brown are so 'dark that the color is invisible except in certain lights; in thislist are Turco brown, 'corbeau or. crow black brown, and ink brown. There is nothing in the name of Persian green, it being a repro duction of theyellow tingo - m familiar .---in. olivo , and . bronze greens. ' t The tea greens of various shades, with sage, mirtle, moss and rifle green, will ..be used. Deep royal purple, plume color, puce and blue prune are largely imported. The only red shade found among. gros. grains is the French ecarlate, which is softer and darker than ordinary scarlet, and the new current color. Kose ptfSifc, Iudiune blue, with green pearl color, are the prominent shades for evening silks, and are pale, shadowy tints that require gaslight to develop their beauty, very pretty wilking suit is in brown gros grain.- The skirt is cut plain and trimmed with a wide gathered ruffle at the bottom and folds of the material edged on one side with a cording of bliick gros grain. The polonaise is open in froir, with turned down collar and coat sleeve, and is trimmed with folds similar "to 'those on the skirt, passementerie agrafes and black silk cords." Another in pearl-gray foulard. The skirt is trimmed in front with gathered puiFs of the material and with folds, kilt-plaited ruffles, andbows of pale pink gros grain. The back of the skirt is trimmed with a gathered foulded ruffle and with folds 'and kilt-plaited ruffles of gros grain. The over- skirt is cut in scollops of the un der edie and bound with pink gros grain ribbon. The trimming for the waist consists of reverse, folds, , and kilt-plated ruffles of srros srraui. bash andr bow ot the same. Black tulle bonnet, trimmed with gros - grain ribbon, feathers, and pink roses. I'arasol of gray silk and lace, lined with pink lnstering. A verv elegant suit is in ceruc dc bege. The skirt is plain, trim med with two very wide gather ed ruffles, trimmed ju the uuder edfjje with a "fold of dark olive green mohairquite wide, and on the upper with a narrow told of the same material. The folds are edged on one side with cording of ihc material. ; The overskirt is plain, forming a tablier in front, and is trimmed on the under edge with a fold of olive green. The basque is open in front, with vest, and it trimmed with rows of olive green material;" with White pearl buttons, 4 K x x x - In the majority of fall suits the basques' will have long1 waists, tight sleeves, and high ruff's, which will be applied to jockerv basqhes,rohnd waisfs,and polonai- sesx- ;';'.' . . ' "' "'. Double-breasted redingotes will have runs placed inside. Single- brested polonaises have, a pretty finish given to the neck by add ing a standing English collar with pointed revers front, made of the dress material, or else of the silk With which it is trimmed. The neck of the dress is cut very high in the throat, and above this col lar appears a white muslin ruff which is to be worn very close and high all around, and is cal led the 'Vrnv Kobsart'ruff. " rrom advices received from private modists in Pans it seems that for the. coming season polo naises will be worn very lonir and flat in front, much shorter behind, and looped hieh on the sides. The long, straight scarf front, with square corners below, and clinging closely to the figure, is seen in j imported suite. Silk skirts are trimmed with bias bands of cashmere, and so pro fusely trimmjed that it is difficult to decide whether the skirt is silk or cashmere. Small mantles, pelerines, and Dolmans with square mantilla fronts will be ad ded to polonaises to give necessa ry warmth. En glish sacques ot 'diagonal" clothes will be in vogue for earlv fall. Importation of bonnets for the eai ly season show a decided change, and the tendency is to ward a turn to a real bonnet shape. They have broad crowns and high coronets cut in square turrets, or ejs dipping fronts with flaring sides. Ther have also vx;ry TUll laue tiitiiraingo,T tiiic -at theback :is a hand nearly ap proaching! to a cape. Most of the trimmings in the way of flowers and feathers are massed on the back, but there is very little pend ent drapery of lace, ribbon, or silk. Pompons, angrettes, and ornaments of cut steel or jet are stuck directly in front, in invita tion of u conspicuous ornament worn by the Shah. The face trimming is a full vine of leaves, a wreath of flowers, or else a twist of silk knotted at intervals or else dotted with flowers. The Kabagar will again be re vived and become popular, as it can be worn either as a bonnet or hut, as strings are added or omitted. - The silk that will mostly be used for trimming bonnets ot velvet, straw, and royale is called gros de Surry, and is a soft, finely rep lied silk. Bonnets ot fashionable dark or somber huesare bright ened by large red roses; trim mings 6f lignt shades will be used on dark velvets; flower3 will be worn extensively on winter bon nets, and ostrich pompons and aigrettes will be very fashionable, as well as long plumes sweeping over the crowns ot round hats. Sonic beautiful combinations are already shown, one, a bonnet of invisible brown velvet has pale blue facing and purple pansies a violet velvet bonnet has reseda pipings on the crown, 'with grose- lllc ro'sscs hanging low on one side; a black velvet bonnet shoxys a pale blue pleated facing in front, with a coronet wreath of green leaves, while drooping low behind is along ostrich flume of mingled green and blue shades ; a garnet velvet boiinet has soft gray fac ings, and a Persian green lias trimmings of a - lighter shade, with groseille rosscs. x j ; One of the absurdities which it now seems will cosine into vogue is the "grasshopper bend." one of summer follies originated at Sara toga. Imagine r a figure draped in a walking suit, with dark skirt, bright-striped polonaise, with im mense rolling collars," tight sleeve3 arid vest, and bustles elevated; to an angle of forty-five' degrees, with jaunty hat tipped half over the eyes, a belt with buckles large as saucers clasped behind, containing a short umbrella, like dagger, protruding behind and before in a very inconvenient, as well as ungraceful, way, and the costume is completed of a belle who essays the grasshopper bend.,, Uhr0ncte x 'X X How a. Paper is Made. A PARODY. Pray, how is a newspaper made ?' The question 'is easy to ask, But answer, it fully, my dear, Were rather a difficult task ; And yet in a bantering' way, As the whippoorwill sings in the glade I'll venture a bit of a lay , To tell how a paper is made. 'X An editor sits at a desk, And ponders the things that ap- pear. -. i ",x" To be claiming the.i thoughts of . the world, Things solemn, and comic, and queer And when he has hit on a theme ' He judges it well to parade, He writes, and he writes and he writes, And that's how a paper is made. An editor sits at his desk And puzzles his1 brain to make out " Telegraphic " so squabbled and mixed, x It is hated to tell what it's about Exchanges are lying around "VMiile waiting dispatches delayed, He clips, and her clips, and he clips, And that's how a paper is made. An editor out in town, . In search of things that are new The. things that the people have done, The things they're intending to do Goes peering and prying about, For it's of many a grade ; He tramps, and he tramps, and he tramps, And that's how a paper is made. 7tnd"all tfithesewioirTp Of every conceivable stripe, Is sent tothe printer, and he Proceedeth to stick in type, x His lines, all, all Tespecting his will, In slow moving columns parade He sticks and he sticks and he sticks, And that's how a paper is made. In short, when the type is all set, And errors cleared up, more or less, Xis " locked in a form," as we say, And hurried away to the press, The pressman arranges his sheets, His ink gives the requisite shade, Then he prints and he prints and he prints ' ' And that's how a, paper is made. The Origsu of " Hail Cplnm- In the recollections of "Wash ington, just published, occurs the following anecdote : 1 ; The song of "Hail Columbia," odapted in measure to the " Pre sident's March," was written by Joseph Hopkinson, of Philadel phia, in 1783. At that time, war with Prance was expected, and a patrioti c te'el i ng pervaded the com muni t-. Mr. Fox, a young 8ingerand actor,called upon Hop kinson one morning and said . "Tomorrow evening is appointed for my benefit at the theatre.- Not a single box has been taken, and I fear it will beathiu hose. If you will write me some patriotic verses to the tune of the 'Presi dent's March', I feel sure of a full house. Several about the theatre Have attempted it, bu they have come to the couclusion that" it cannot be done ; yet I think you may succeed." Mr. Hopkinson retired to his study, . wrote the first verse and ehoru3, ; and sub mitted them to Mr. Fox, who sang them in parpsichord accom pan i m ent. The song was soon finished and that evening the young actor received: it. -The next morning the placards an nounced that'Mr. Fox would give a new patriotic song. The house was crowded the song was, sung the audience delighted. Eight times it was called for and repeat edand when sung the ninth time the whole audience stoojl up and joined in the chorus. Night after mbt. Hail Columbia " was ap plauded in the theatre, and in a few. days was a universal song of the boys the streets, v Such was the on triu or uui- uauuuai ouu, uHaii Columbia. Bones. A writer in the ; " Horticultur ist " buys bones of butchers at a dollar the hundred pounds, and considers them the cheapest fer tilizer he can obtain lie trans forms them intoneal by the fol- loTing simple process; " I have a large water-tight hogshead standing outdoors, near the kitch en. Inx the spring I cover the bottonv abbut six inches deep WMth dry soil. On thia I put a layer of bones the same depth, and covered them entirely with u nl eached ashes. On these an other lawyer of qones,then ashes, and so on until the hogshead is full. I leave it then exposed to. sun and rain all summer and win tec, until the next spring. Then, on removing the contents of the hogshead, I find nearly all the bones so soft that they will crum ble to powder under a very, slight pressure, and they give a nico pile of manure, ready for imme diate use. Any of the bones not sufficiently subdued, I return to the hogshead again for another twelve months' slumber." An Apt Reply. A German paper contaius a reply froma clergyman vyho was traveling, and who stopped at a hotel niuch frequented by what is termed " drummers." The host ii ot being used to having clergy men at bis table, looked at him with surprise ; the clerka used all their artillery of wit without eliciting a remark in self-defense. The worthy clergyman ate his di u n er without apparently observ-. neighbors Qnp of them at last, in desDairat'lirhearance, said tol.im: " I wonder.- at your patience ! Have you not heard all that has been said against you V " Oh ! yes, but. I am used to it Do you not know who. I am?" "No, sir." . ::'-r "Well, I willjtiforniyou. I am chaplain of a lunatic asylum ; such, remarks have no effect upon me." XIic Prod nets Labor. Human labor is a thousand lit tle rills replenishes the fountains" of man's earthly existence. It sends its tiny but powerful roots into the soil, tiiat the crops: may, in due seasou, fructify and replen ish and gladden, the earth ; it dives into . the darkened mind, where cheering sunlight never penetrates, to bring forth 6ome of the most important necessities of modern civilization; for what, would civilization be without iron, coal and salt. As we val ue the products of Tabor, how much more should we esteem the intelligent agencies by-which they are produced. In whatever sphcre of action it may be, labor is honorable, and there is, at times a moral heroism and spirit of self-denial exhibited which not only renders it sublime, but god like.
