Mn. LEwIs.-Dem Sir: Some time since used
one Of your Straw Cutters to cut roots for my pre-
para,on of Georgia Sarsaparlla. Some Of the roots
were very hard and ,ough.-I am happy to say your
Straw Cutter has far exceeded my expectations.
The public need not fear Of its getting out Of order
by cutting straw or fodder or by accidentally get
ting hard substances in it.
Yours, respectfully, j. DENNIS.

SIMPLICITY IN DnEss.-Those who think
that in order to dress we'll it is necessary to
dress cxtravagantly 0. grandly, make a great
mistake Nothing SO well becomes true
feminine beauty as simplicity. We have
seen many remarkably fine person robbed
of its true effect by being over-drcssed. No.
thing is more unbecoming than overlooking
beauty. The stern simplicity Of the classic
tastes is seen in the old statues and pictures
painted by men Of superior artistic genius.
In Athens, the ladies were not guadily, but
simply arrayed, and we doubt whether any
ladies' ha<e eyer excited admiration.
So also the noble old Roman matrons, whose
superb forms were gazed on delightedly by
men worthy of them, were always very plain
ly dressed. Fashion often presents the hues
of the butterfly, but fashion is not classic
goddess.-Geo. D. Prentice.

getting, for the time being, your very exis'

self, hard and stern, so different from the

Or else his inner and diviner self, higher
than YOU dream of, would turn coldly from
your insignificant love. Yet all this must

cannot rule mans soul-no woman ever
