Q Beautiful, but 0 ! 30 sad, is this story of the dead wife's portrait : and sad and beautiful though it be, is too often true. "We have been in more than one house in our time, where the semblance of the de parted, who had once been the light and " lift of the household, was consigned to the dust and cobwebs of the garret, and her memory to forgetfulness : In a lumbering attic room, Where for want of light and air, Years had died wiiLiu the gloom, Leaving dead dust everywhere, Everywhere, ellung the portrait of a lady o With a face so fair. Time had long since dull'd the paiut; Time, which all our arls disguise, And the features now were faint, AHd except the wondrous eyes, Wondrous eyes Ever looking, looking, looking, With such sad surprise! As man lovelh. man had loved Her whose features faded there; As man mourneth, man had momrned. Weeping n his dark despair Bitter teirs; When she left him broken hearted, To bis death of years. 0Then for months the picture bent ... , . All its eyes upon his face, O Following him wher'er he went, Till another filled the place q In its stead Till the features of the living Did outface the dead. There for years it hung above In that attic, dim and ghast, Fa-ling with the fading love Sad reminder of the past ; Save the eye?, Ever looking:, ever looking-. With such sad surprise. Oft, the distant laughter's sound Enter d through the cobweb'd door, And the cry of children found Dusty echoes from the floor To those eyes, Ever locking, ever looking, With such sad surprise. Once there moved upon the slair Olden love sU-ps mounting low, IJut the. face that met him there Drove him to the depth below, For those eyes Thro' his soul seem'd looking, looking. All their said surprise. From that day the doer was nailed Of that memory hiftinted room ; And the portrait hung and paled On the dead dust and the gloGiii, Save the eyes, Ever looking, over looking, Willi such sad surprise! :. . . ..

The Norwich daily Advertiser says the cstume of Weston, the pedes o train, when he walked through Nor- vftch, was a- "white hat, red leggings, und cloth shots with thick soles.'

One of the novelties of Parisian enterprise is a large warehouse in which are sold, at retail, all man- ner of poods, from a diamond neck lace down to a shoe brush- The purchaser havinjr paid his price, re-.

This is really eating your cake in order to save it. The talk which has filled the mouths of all eastern people for the ast three months the pedestrain teat lately accomplished by Weston revives recollections of an English man, Captain Barclay, w hose exploits in this lino have never been npproach-t-dy In 1TCG, when only sixteen, he w alked six miles in an hour. Some years Afterwards he walked one hun. dred and ten miles In t.ineteen hours, lie walked with his body bent for ward so as to throw his weight upon his knees.
