actly to the shape, was made with perpendicular slashes on the bosom, discovering a white satin boddice underneath, which rose considerably above the corsage of the robe, ai d was bodered with narrow blond lace, standing up round the bust; the slashes were also edged with blond lace. Double bouffant sleeves; the upper one very large, and slashed to correspond with the body; the lower one very short but full, forming quite a puff round the arm. Nothing so nove! or striking has appeared in evening dress for some time as this robe.

Rice straw hats trimmed both with feathers and flowers, but particularly the former, are very fashionable in evening. dress, though not quite so much so as coiffures en cheveux ;those á la Mancini, adorned with flowers, are the most in request. Fashionable colors are those of last month.

THE SEAMAN'S SONG.

Tost thro' the dark and dreary night,
Amidst the wildness of the storm;
Where not a star displays its light,
Or floating cloud reveals its form,
Spite of the fears that rend my heart,
Exciting oft a boding sigh;
Spite of the trickling tears that start,
In silence from my eager eye;
A secret hope still sooths my pain,
That I shall see my love again.

Tho' death with all his grimly train,
Seems hov'ring o'er the creaking mast;
Tho' swept along the dashing main,
He can't resist the savage blast:
Our shatter'd bark can scarcely steer
She fast admits the briny wave,
The heart-felt dread of fate so near,
Distracts the weak-alarms the brave!

A secret hope yet sooths my pain,
That I shall meet my love again.
