“ OLD CHUBOH BsLLs."—Tho following, which we copy from an English Journal, is worth preserving. Ring out merrily, Loudly, cheerily, Blithe old bells from the steeple tower, Ilopefnlly, fearfully, Joyfully, tearfully, Month the bride from the maiden bower. Clouds there are none in the fair Summer sky; Sunshine ﬂings benison down from on high; Children sing loud, as the train moves along, “Happy the bride that the sun shineth on.” Knoll out drearily, Measured and wearily, Sad Old bells from the steeple grey; Priests chanting lowly,

Solemnly, slowly. Passeth the corse from the portal to-dsy. Drops from the, leaden clouds heavily fall, Dripping all over the plume and the pail; Murmur old folk, as the train moves along, "Blessed the dead that the rain raineth on.” Toll at the hour of prime, Matin. and Vesper chime. Loved old bells from the steeple high Bolling, like holy waves, Over the lowly graves, Floating up, prayer-fraught, into the sky. Solemn the lesson your lightest notes teach, Stern is the preaching your iron tongues preach; Ringing in life from the bud to the bloom, Ringing the dead to their rest in the tomb. Peal out evermore—

TO CLEAN Owns—Soak them for ten or twidve hours in spirits of wine; then spread them on a soft, clean cloth, and rub them with a. piece of ﬂannel until all the marks and stains disappear. Hang them up, and before they are quite dry,draw them on glove-blocks to restore their proper form. When removed from the blocks they may be folded and pressed under a weight. The following is a method of cleaning gloves without wetting: Lay the gloves upon a clean board. and mix together well-dried l'uller‘s-earth and alum, powdered. Pass the powder over both sides of the gloves with a moderately stiff brush. Then wipe off the powder, and sprinkle the gloves Well with bran and whiting, and dust them thoroughly. If not very much soiled, this will render them as clean as when new. If they are ex tremely dirty, or soiled with any spots of grease, rub them with crumbs of stale bread and burnt bones. powdered. Lastly, rub them over with a woolen cloth dipped in pow dered fuller's-carth.

AUSTRALIAN LADlL8.—Tlle Australian ladies do not please English travelers. One of the latter, writing from New llol land, saysz—"The ﬁrst time I visited the theatre, I sat near a young lady who wore a least half a dozen rings over her white gloves. and who, if bare, musquito-bitten shoulders

may be deemed beautiful, showed more beauty than I ever saw a young lady display before. (lenerally, the colonial damscls are frivolous, talkative, and over-dressed. They have in brief, all the light, unenviable qualities of Eastern women. They excel in finesse. I heard of a lady, who wishing to make a dilatory gentleman, who had been for some time hovering about her, definitively propose, had her boxes placed conspicuously in the hall of her father's house, thus labeled-“Miss P.

Ladies who do siro to cultivate their literary taste by the perusal of articles

superior to the wishy~washy, sentimental love stories that deface the pages of too many of our American periodicals, would do well to give Peterson a trial.” And the gle Co. (Ill.) Reporter says :—“Of all the Magazines we receive, it is the only one we keep to have bound; our readers can draw their own inferences.” A Rica Dams—At one of the bals costumes given at the Tuilleries. lately, the dress worn by the Empress excited general admiration. It consisted of very rich silk, having a black ground, on which was a pattern of Indian palm leaves, exquisitely embroidered in red silk and gold, and intermin gled with diamonds and other precious stones.
