PAINTED BY WATTEA0.

"PaiRted by Watt au"—so the legend rtfhtf About the |uaint gilt fr*me. "And paint ed well," I murmur, lor tho tenderest of suns

Shines softly In upon a forest dell, Where robed in silken sheen an I sttlu floss, Ladles of fashion tread the golden moss.

Wlulo gentlemen, our great grandfathers, trip With crook in hand betide a crystal stream 8nro never sweeter smile moved human lip.

Tho poet sjys "Things are not what they seem!" Perhaps they were not, then. Perhaps that grace

Was only In the figure and in tho face,

Leaving the iKart a fulso and foolish void Porhaps tliey foIt not that tho grass was green, And that the flower wherewi the white hand toyed,

Sbone with the silent speech of tho Unseen. Perhips that woman's heart was hard and cold, Perhaps the man that wooed her wooed her geld.

Past painter's nameand picture I look out Through the lawn window where the shadows pass So swiftly, and each shadow with a shout

Ofsweet girl laughter from the trampled grass, Ah, Watteau. thou art ^im for all thy sun The world Is wiser, and thy d*y Is dene.

Look at her thcro, the daughter of the house, 81 tin as a lily, fair as flowers are fair. And look at liim, the lord of leagues of grouse, 8tahvart as a Galahad, an 1 as debonnalr. No xo i80 or powder^ wreath or rlbbaned crook Mock the glad morning light by lawn cr brook.

Come, paint them as they stand—her tumbled hair, Flushed check and laughing eyes of clearest bine IIebror/.3d and bearded. Har.g tho'plcture there,

And say which Is tlie nobler ef the two— Those old-worl maidens, with tboir shepherds gay, Or these, tbe man and woman of our day.

THROWING KISSES.

A 8H0CKIKG PRACTICE SAID TO BE COMMON AMONG THE EMPLOYES OK THE. METROPOLITAN

AL"—FEMININE

COMPLAINTS.

From the New York Herald. Occasionally complaints reach the Herald of insults to ladies by the employ es of the railroad companies. Some time ago there was such a complaint in regard to the Erie road, but the publication of a complainant's letter led tobuch stringent measures that the practice was completely broken up. Now it is the Metropolitan "L" that is complained of, as will be teen from the following letter received from a lady living along the line of the road. As this epistle in dicates qualities in the employes of the company the cultivation of which is not to be encouraged it is printed as it was received:— To tho Edit»r of the Herald: V.,

The practice of the engineers, fireman and conductors so universal on the Metropolitan Elevated Railroad, of kissing their hands and bowing to almost every female who chances to be at the window is one that the company should squclch as soon as possible. It is bad enough to have this railrond invading the privacy of our apartments and compelling UR to keep our windows closed (luring this oppressive season to shut put the coal gas, cinders and dust emanating from the passing trains, without thi addition of being insulted and annoyed when we are obliged to open them to clean. If the company doubts the tiuth of my assertion let them station a reliable inan at any given point and they will be perfectly satisfied by an hour's observation. Some lew years since tins vile practice was in vogue on one of the most popular horse car lines in this city. When it came to the knowledge of the managers of that road they issued an order forbidding the practice and discharged every man who violated the order, and by this means soon broke it up. Will the Met ropolitan Company lollow their example?

A LADY.

New York, July 19, 1879. WHAT THE LADIES 8AY. In view of this complaint a Herald reporter was sent along the line of the road to ascertain something in regard to the prevalence of the practice and the opinions of thf* ladies in Sixth avenue in regard to it. "Nobody ever kissed his hand or bowed to me," said an ancient maiden lady living near Tenth street. "I should like to see ofe of them dare do it." "He would be a man of great courage," the reporter answered, grasping for his hat.

A few blocks further up the street he saw a bright little bit of a girl standing in a doorway with her hah- tlowing in the wind, which played with her curls. "I am from the Herald," he said, by way of introduction. "Can you tell me if any of the employes on the Metropolitan 'L' ever kits hands ur bow to the ladies living in this street?" "You'll write apiece and put me in it if I tell you," she answered. "Oh, no, certainly not," the reporter said. "Well, then, there is a nice looking little brakeman who seems to take a great deal of interest in this neighborhood.- 1 never saw him bow to anybody or kiss his hand exactly but he sometimes raises bis arm, and, as if catching something, kisses the tips of his fingers "I don't blame him," said the reporter. "What do }0u mean?" asked th® little miss, provokingly shaking her curls "I won't talk to you any mere."

At Seventeeth street ,a venerable ma'ron remarked, The people on the trains wouldn't troubled about bowing or kissing their hands to ladies who didn't first bow or kiss their hands to them "Then vou think the Ia3ies ar® more to blame than the train hands?" the reporter asked.

f"",

"I know they ark. You see some ot the braketnen look very nice in the'r uniforms, and I speak from experience, young man, when I tell you that it's awful hard for a young girl to let tomething nice fly by without some sign of appreciation, especially as the vision is bound to disappear as soon at it seen," "Oh, I perceive," the reporter inter posed, "the kissing, then, isn't confined to the train men." "Of co'»rse not. Where\*er there arc girls there is bound to be kissing of some' sort, and wherever there is kissiog it will be found to have a mutual attraction." "Then why do vow object?" the reporter asked of another lady who had made staterMefits similar to the above. "Because the sooty firemen and engineers, follow th^ example of the peat con. ductors and brakemen. It may be pleasant enough to have a kiss thrown to you if you can't get it any other way, but one dosen't want it to come from a hand all begrimed with coal dust." "The practice is very annoying and it is aln'ost universal," said a lad}' living near Reservoir square. "Ladies cannot sit at their windows and escape the infliction." VIEW OF SUPERINTENDENT VAN BROCK-

LIN.

With this remark in hia mind the reporter called on Superintendent Van Brocklin at his office in Church street. 'The practic cannot be anything like universal," Mr. Van Brocklin said, "but that it exists is propable. The only thing to be done is to find the offenders. Such conduct on the part of any of the employes of the road is against the rules of the companv, and we are determmind to punish any infractiortof our rules. Only last week **n engineer was laid off for looking down into the street. He seemed so an::'ous to becoms acquainted with the locality through which t|e road runs that we thought we would give him a week to become familidr \Vith it. We hrve detectives on the road constantly watching the conduct of our employes but no complaint of bowing or kissing the hand to ladies along the line has been made. The only way to reach buch offenders will Ije for ladies' who *re insu lted to make complaint the company

It is ea*y to take the number of the engine or car where the offendert are, and by sending it to us we will be able to deal intelligently with the guilty persons. So far we have had no complaints of this kind from any scource, but without knowledge it will not be easy for us to break up the rractice if it exists. The young men guilty of such offences would naturally be very cunning and secretive, and so we must depend upon persons who are insulted for such information as will lead to their detection.
