The starlight, faint and pale,
Was dawning on the sunset glow
Its soft and shadowy veil :

And sighing, said “ ’Tis done I”
“Phryne, thy human lips shall pale
Thy rounded limbs decay ;
Nor love nor prayers can aught avail
To bid thy beauty stay.”
“But there thy smile, for centuries.
On marble lips shall live ;
For art can grant what love denies
And fix the fugitive.”
“Sad thought! nor age nor death can fade
The youth of this cold bust,
When the quick hand and brain that inado
And thou and I are dust.”
When all our hopes and fears are dead,
And both our hearts are cold ;
When life is but a tune that’s played
And love a tale that’s told ;

That no sweet blush can warm,
The same enraptured look shall own
The sunie enchanting form.

An Eloquent Tribute.
We copy the following beautiful tribute to
Virginia and the South from the Baltimore
Episcopal Methodist:
“And yet, amidst all this desolation and
ruin, did the world ever see anything like
the uncomplaining dignity with which the
South has borne a vivisection that left it nt
the time but a ghastly semblance of life?
We confess that not all the magnificent valor
that won her thousand victories, not the fiery
on^et of Jackson’s Scotch Irish, nor the su­
perb composure with which Lee directed the
advancing tide of battle, or Covered the slow
and sullen retreat, has ever so electrified or
melted our whole soul as the sublime forti­
tude with which the South has borne the
most unspeakable woes.
“The Niobe of nations, there she stands,
Childless and crownless in her voiceless woe ;
An empty urn within her withered hands,
Whose empty du«t was scattereu long ago.
“Nor is this all. The Virginia thus treat­
ed, the ‘lone of dead empires,’ is also the
mother of that Union from which she has
been kept out like a leper, and oulv admitted
now undtr the most tyrannical and exasuer-
ating conditions. The corner stone of this
grand constitution fabric was laid by the
hand of the giant who now stands at the
threshold of the temple, his hair shorn, his
eyes put out, and for the present making
sport lor the Phillistines. It is Virginia, that
proud old colony, which having no quarrel of
her owu with the King of England, yet took
up, from generous sympathy, the cause of
Massachusetts: Virginia, but for whose
Washington the revolutionary war would
have been a failure ; whose Jefferson wrote
the declaration of Independence , whose Pat­
rick Henry roused the nations to arms with
his fiery eloquence ; whose Marshall was the
glory of American jurisprudence; whose
Madison, Monroe, Ilarrison and Taylor,
adorned the executive chair ; whose Winfield
Scott and Rough and Ready were the leading
military figures in the Mex-can war ; with
troops of her valorous sons in the war uf
1812; wlmse statesmen have illustrated the
councils of the Republic—this is the good old
common wealth which, for five long years has
been ground to the earth under the heel of
negro und military vassalage, and is now
only permuted to enter the edifice which she
made by her own hands, and immortalized
by her genius and virtue, from its foundation
to its piuuacle, as a captive and a slave.
N ipigon .—A geugrupineal d-scovery, which
will rathei astonish the map publishers, has
been mude iu the country north of Lake Su­
perior, by a party uuder Prol. Bell, whicu
bus recently beeu tngaged in the geciogical
survey of tbut region. Luke Nipigon, lying
only thirty miles north of Lake Superior, aud
hitherto considered too insignificant to find a
place in American atlases, is announced by
Prof. Bell to be larger, probably, than Luke
Ontario or Lane Erie. He had traversed
ubout 500 miles of ’ts coast line, when the
approach of waler compelled the party to re
turn to Canada. This lake discharges its wa­
ters into Lake Superior by the Nipigon river,
a broud aud rapid stream, and is the seventh
io number, and probably the second in size,
of the chain of great lakes which form so
remarkable a feature in the geography of
North America. That the existence of this
inland sea should have remained unknown to
thia time is the more remarkable, considering
how near it lies to Luke Superior. As it re
eeives the waters of upward o1 a dozen con
siderable rivers, it is not improbable that the
system of lakes commencing with Lake On
tario may extend many miles further to the
north.
“Why do you call me birdie, my dear?”
inquired a wife of her husband. “Because,”
was the answer, “you are always associated
in my mind with a bill.”

Sunset Cox on Corsets.
Th« Washington correspondent of the Cin­
cinnati Times says Sam. Cox is one of the
cleverest men in the House, albeit he is a
Democrat. His sallied of wit, genuine hu­
mor, are wont to set the House “in a roar.”
and on no subject is he more happy than on
the tariff. He has made some good speeches
in the committee ot the whole as well as the
House, while that subject was under general
debate. Here is the way that Cox protests
against the tax on corsets :
There is a bill before the House of repre­
sentatives, reported by Messrs. Schenck,
Kelly, Blair, McCarthy, Hooper and May­
nard, to impose a National tax on corsetsand
hoopskirts. Against this tax the free women
of America should promptly protest. Is there
to be nothing too sacred for the searching
hand tf the tax gatherer? Is there no limit
t® the reach of the Assessor ? The Com
mittee of the Ways and Means have already
levied a tax on stocking and garters, and
must the privacy of woman be further inva­
ded ? if woman have one right which men are
bound to respect more than another, it is tbe
privacy of the bosom and of the surrounding
of their persons.
NO, 7

requires a Murat to produce Charlotte Cor-
day, and the Schencks and Kelleys may read
that history with profit. Let the Women's
Conventions take action. Let them add to
the demand for the ballot the cry of, “Free
corsets ! free hoops !n and, until they gain
the latter, let the men who vote thie taX be
denied all knowledge ot female habiliments,
save what they get t om the clothes lines.
Neuralgia.
ir
The certain cure of neuralgia is found in
judicious eating and exercise ; and not only
so, a permanent cure cannot be effected in
any other way, while these are always effi­
cient.
i
In neuralgia the blood is always too thick,
impure and in excess ; and as diet and exer­
cise combine to remedv these conditions, some
rules in relation to them are desirable.
