HONOUR AND CREDIT. —One of our eminent la
Irish descent was engaged sonic tim

ce to defend an

Irishman, who had tTeeii charged with theft. Assuming
the prerogative of his position, the counsel; in a private
interview with his client, said to him, "Now, Patrick, as
I am to defend you, I want you to tell me if you are'guilty
or 'not. Did you steal the goods ?" "Faith, then," says
Pat, " 1 s'pose I.must tell yez. In troth I did stale 'em !"
" Then you ought to be ashamed of yourself to come here
and disgrace, yourself by stealing !" said the honest counsel.
"In troth, sir, maybe.l ought, but, if I didn't stale, you
wouldn't have the honour and credit of getting me off!"
TASTE IN DRESS. -No female should despise studying
dress as an art ; by which we mean that exercise of taste
and judgment which teaches what style and colour of dress
is most becoming- to the figure, face, age &c., and also what
fashions and customs best blend and harmonise: with each
other. The following rules illustrating this subject may be
confidently relied' on and advantageously applied :—Short
females should not wear flounces to their dresses, because
the undue breadth which it gives to the lower part of the
person tends to diminish its height. For the same reason
they should not wear large check patterns or stripes running
round the dre-

wear their d

Fall females, as a matter of course, ma

s on principles diametrically opposite

this. Stout females should wear dark-coloured dresses and
simple patterns, as they diminish the apparent size of the
figure ; the skirts also
_should have few or no flounces,
_ _ _
he ordinary height. Thin
