THE SHAKERS.

The Shakers are ;till at Hosdre.,:iiiingthourb hafe
they cannot be described as in • thriving
condition, yet they still manage to live together as •
community, and have been enabled reeently to erect a
very nog wooden building, which they design ma piano(
worship, the building in which services are now usually
held being most inconveniently smalL They propose
shortly opening this bedkling with • Rub& service, and as
the fine weather may now fairly considered to Lave set in,
It is to be anticipated that they will they a large gathering
upon the occasion. Visits are frequently peLt to the
community by reeidents and others from Southampton,
LYtnityloo, the Isle of Wight, Christchurch, Bournemouth
and other places. The numbers who attend the Sunday ,
services are large. Mrs. Girling has now returned from ,
her miadan in the Isle of Wight, where, vre understand, ,
she has made many convert', and on Sunday last she
conducted the noun' services. Several visitors were
preamt, including Mr. Knight. • member of the Reels
Town Council, who has recently became a convert to
shakerians. In her discourse at the morning service, Mrs.
GirLing spoke of spiritualism, which she loudly condemned.
She endeavoured to expose its writings and she herself
had bong namely led away by it when young ; she thanked
Gad however, that she had been saved from it. There
were not many manifestations of the Spirit at the morning
service, a child, however of about 11 or 12 yews of age,
and two or three grown up parsons danced. In the after-
noon though • special service was held for the children in
another tent, the erection in which the service was held
was crowded almost to suffocation, and numbers of
persons being unable to find accommodation inside, were
compelled is cluster round the doors and windows. Mrs.
again preached, taking as her text the tint chapter
of the epistle of St. Paul to the Hebrews. She illustrated
the various paassgss in a manner peculiar to herself, and
endeavoured to draw from them, arguments in support of
the psenlier Moats held by her mad her people The mani-
festations of the egirit were very numerous, nearly of
90 tenons receiving thew sad there being at one time
upwards of • damn pomom dancing at once. From the
crowded state of the building this proved somewhat incon-
venient to the congregation, and must have proved still
more so to the denotes themselves had they net been so
utterly oblivious to all surroundings. The dancing at
times was accomganied with • clapping of hands, and with
exclamations of praise The dancing of most of the
females was very graceful, but that of some of the men
was of • very awkward character. The community still
had to the belief in the immediate coming of Christ, and
also that they will shortly be re-Inateliod in their old
house across the reed—New Forest Lodge— from which
they were ejected upwards of 18 monthA
A few days ago one of the community somewhat
suddenly. Mrs. (Arlin& however, who on Sunday

FASHIONS FOR MAY.
The toilettes worn by the leaders of fashion, says
Le Pellet, definitely confirm all our predis as to
what would be the reigning styles fhb seams. Over.
drones, whether called moratoria: de war, polonaise
"Princess.," or " Juive " tuniques, are daily farrow-
ing in favour, and are likely to do so as long as toilettes
composed of two materials are—as they well deserve
to be—la grand. mode. At the same time, single
skirts, more are loss trimmed, are also worn by the
loading bligantes, and many forms sad varieties of
UMW, are constantly making their appearance in the
ateliers most in fashion. Very long train. are worn
for full dress, without they are intended for dancing;
these are more moderate. The carriage and visiting
and thew for day receptions, are also with
long tralas, but • few Inaba shorter than the evening
skirt; and the walking dresses only train • few inches.
All skirts are quite plain at the waist to the side-want,
only touching the ground at the lower edge, the fulness
and length of the train beginning there only. The
trains are decidedly wider. Aprnpi de ntham,
Immense quantities we worn, and will be all the season.
All width., colours, and patterns are adopted. Fringes
and lace are worn in very great profusion and splendid
qualities. Laos is not only worn OA flounces and

very elegant tabbies, the point being worn in front or
at one side. The number of mixed materials is
enormous, some of these are carried to great perfection.
