When 'Chau Art Away,
87 erne 11TABIE ROT.,
I am thinking of thee and am lonely to -night,
For when thou art gone, there is nothing
bright;
I wander about, oaring nowhere to stay,.
For home is not home when thou art away,
Why is it, I wonder, that souls dc entwine
Bo olosely in life, as mine unto•thine,
That if rifted apart, but if for a day
Whey sorrow and pine for the other away.
ON darling, what charm does thy preemie°
possess
That it never once ceases my being to bless ;
'Tis a halo of love far brighter than day -
Only dimmed in ite lustre, when thou art away:
Thou art near, I feel, BQ near me to -night • •
In spirit and love, if,not in my sight, •
And I could not thy goodness with loving repay,
Were I other than happy, whilst thou art away.
The raptUre a meeting with the loved °nee at
home
When our pleasures are poeit and as homeward,
waoome
For the pain ot our absence `does often repay
Aulwfilme_qurtaraes.butter for. being away.
Yet so lonely I feel in the quiet of eve,
Ply soul in its longing seems only to grieve, .
But breathing my thoughts in We love-lade.n lay,.
I dream thou art near me and nut faraway,

God bless thee to -night, wherever tboa ext,
Whether absent or present thy Rome is my heart,
May angels C.I gladness hover round thee for aye,
To guard thee and guide thee while thou art

Ornamentation ot Table Linen.
The artistic works of the jarenese, only
of late made familiar to us by means of
exhibition d and the like, have on amount
of their novelty and peculiarity an especial
attraotion fer the spectator. For instance,
the Japanese applique; erebroidery show

pieces of embroidery are worked
over cardboard and secured . • on

ones, with all sorts of-ternextelis-unerrfor

such a telegram could have been sent if he
had looked about and witnessed the power
of women? The general ought to have

women would be under Similar °imam -

lifnowned Gems Lying In Om Treasury
Vaults at Washington*
Few are aware that in the bond vaults of
the treasury are depoeited for eafe.keeping
a large quantity 02 diamonds and other Pro-
oioue stones wheal will form the nuoleue of
the (woven jewels when the country becomes
an empire. These game all hove histories.
Among them is a bottle four or five inches
long filled wIth, diamonds, and there are
many other kinds of precious atones, onart
of them are set in gold ornaments, intended
for pereonel wear, The Ant collection of

Oman whose capital city of Muscat,
in Labia, on the Persian Gulf,
is the naost widely known of all
Arabian oitiea to outsidero. The
imaum was the dude politician of Arabia,
the boos dandy of all tbe Bedouin kin, and
having found that Martins NanBuren, was
two -fold "sharper, keener, subtler and
dandier than he was himself, he sent these
diamonds and rearla to him as a tribute to
euperior genius and morality. It takes a
pretty mart scoundrel to diseount an
Arab cut-throat of the higher dames, but
the Dutch hatron of Kinderhook could do
• it, and, the iniaum of Oman allowed he
could take the eake-and the diamonds too.
But after he took them he did not know
what to do with them. He had an elephant
on his hands. He could 110b swept them
