ABour SKIRTs.-VYe have always been un-
der the impression that the present amplitude
OF ladies' skirts was susceptible of very little
addition We are undeceiyed; there isa low
er depth,' or rather broader breadth, and
the Parisian ladies have found it. They have
attained such a latitude that a true meTseit-
lease finds some difficulty in entering an or
binary doorway. We can no longer laugh at
| the hoops of our grandmothers; eSwe are pro
ducing equally great results with lighter
neans.'' The following conjugal dialogue
gives lively idea of our object, snd st the
same time illustrates the praiseworthy dociii-
! ty of Partisan husbands.
| An .ssleg-ass in her toilette du bat' steps
| into her carriage, which she and her skirts
rather comfortably flI- Her husband pTopos-
es to follow--when he is suddenly brought up
by ..8Iy dear, what are you going to do7'
..Do. Why, get into the carriage, to be
sure
.sBut there is no room!'' replies the lady,
| growing yisibly broader.
ssNo room - replies the astonished hus-
band; 'sBut, my dear-.''
| ssWhen ara catoiIette, certainly not; doyou
want me to arrive at the ball with my dress
rumpled?''
In the face of this frightful possibility, the
husband is at once silcnced. He, however,
musters courage enough to say, s'But / wish
to go to the ball, my dear
esAnd what prevents you, pray. Call cab,
or get up with the coachman. "
The poor husband not seeming to relish this
affectionate suggestion. the lady proceeds with
a suspicion of sharpness in her tones that has
a very visible effect, .sDo as you please, my
dear; but as for sitting with me, the thing is
impossible; do close the door, the air chills
me- and tell the coacllman to drive or, or I
shall be too late.'' This cool proceeding
achieved, the lady goes TO the ball, and doubt
less rouses the envy of many an unhappy
bachelor who don't know when he is well Off
a fashionable lady Of the financial world has
gone still further. Not content with cxcu-
ding her husband from the carriage on these
great occasions, she had built for herself We
hicle without seats. In this affair she goes TO
the ball, Of course obliged 70 stand up during
the drive. This, at tie fist blush, seems in
conyenientj not so-her ingenuity has over
come the apparent difficulty. y velvet GOV
cred strap is so disposed exactly 10 reach
her waist, and against this she leans, suppor-
ting herself by two other handstraps, similar
ly covered. She thus arrives at the bah in full
bloom, not crease in her brilliant robe, nor
a flower in her eoif,trs, and perfect as she Left
the hands of her dressing maid. The success
OF the lady at her entTee is Of course, prodi-
gious. Her grace and wit complete the tgi-
umph, and after the fifth waltz and fourth
coHtrs-danse she allows herself to become
gracefully fatigued, and retires TO her hus-
bands carriage, whom, in consequence Of her
great success, she eondescendingly allows to
attend her Conlnissionare.

From Cape May---Bathing Scenes.


From Cape May---Bathing Scenes.
Extract from the Cape May correspondent
of the Baltimore American:
s.Thc bathing ground at eleven O'Clock in
the morning resembles an immense masquer
ade. as it is difficult to distinguish males from
females, so perfect is the Transformation made
by the yariegated dresses. Husbands can
scarcely recognise their wives when they join
them in the water, children their parents;
the consequence is their is general freedom
from restraint, and all participate in the en-
joyment with an adandon that contributes
greatly to the pleasures of the surf. The Ia
dies are mostly accompanied by gentlemen,
who steady them in the breakers, though many
Of them seem to be more able 80 stand the
oceans rudeness than their male companions.
They are generally the first in the water and
the last to leave it.
81 Witnessed yesterday morning several
sick persons, who were carried into the surf
and held in the arms of their servants, being
apparently unable to stand or walk. One old
gentleman, suffering with the rheufnatics, was
carried down to the beach, accompanied by d
servant with spade in hand, who buried his
limbs in the salt sand just inside of the break
ers, where lie lay for nearly an hour, with an
umbrella over his head being unable to stand
the fury of the rushing waters. There were
also number of parents at an early hour in
the morning with infant children, whom they
took out III the surf in their arms, and the lit
tie ones seemed to enjoy it vastly. On the
surfin front of the Atlantic and Columbia,
there could not have been less than three hun
dred children under nine years of age, rolling
about the beach inside OF the breakers,
mostly dressed in red, green or blue drawers,
with jaunty straw hats, gaiiy trimmed with red
flannel, adding much to the interest of the
scene
The number of bathers On the beach 'front.'
ing the Mount Y Fernon and Congress Hall was
also very large; but the Columbia and the At
lantic, which are the great Baltimore and
southern resorts, their guests coming here
more especially for water enjoyments than for
fun, fashion, or frolic, far outnumbered all
others, though the guests of the Mansion,
Ocean House, American and United States
Hotels, and other houses, occupy the same
beach.''

A Stubborn Jury.

The Boston Transcript tells good story of
Col II, living in Washington county,
Maine, who had great aptitude for serving as
juror. When thus serving, he had a very
great anxiety that his opinion should be large
ly consulted in making up verdict. Some
years ago, while upon a case, after many hours
trial to agree, but failing, he marshalIed the
delinquent jury from their seats to the Court,
where the impatient crowd awaited the result
of the trial.
s"Haye you agreed upon q verdict2'' inquir-
ed the clerk.
Col. N arose, turned awithering glance
upon his brother jurors, and exclaimed: '.Aay
it please the Court, we have not; butt have
| done the best 1 could do, but here are clever
of the most contrary devils l ever had any
/ dealings WITH

BONyE KITTIE.


By " GosPiSH-
When the sunlight kissed the mountain,
Bonnie Kittie came to bring
Silver water from the fountain,
Where the water-eresses spring,
Shrinking from my loves caresses,
Loose her raven ringiets dropped.
And the strearniet caught her tresses,
As she bIushed but smiling stooped-
.Kittie - cried I, .'hear thy lover :"
But the laughing maiden fed
To the cottage. through the clover
With its nodding blossoms red
..Wanton Willie, cease TO tarry,
Said she, as her black eyes smiled,
Bonnie Kittie may not marry,
Mother needs her darling child
kittie's eyes are drowned in sorrow,
From her cheek the rose has aed
For that mother OF the morrow.
In the valley found bed
Round her green. couch friends arc weeping,
Oh, twas sad 70 see them part!
Through the hand that 1 ana keeping
can feel her beating heart
Like the night that leaves the mountain.
When the gloom is turned to gold,
once again beside the fountain,
Bonnie Kittie enfold.;
There spoke my loves beguiiing;
But she answered not my strain;
But upon my breast wept smiling
Like tee roses after rain

HOW to be q Han.

When Carlyle was asked by a young person
to point out what course of freading he thought
to make him man, he replied in characters
tic manner. The letter is to long-we note
only the concluding paragraph:
ssIn conclusion, 1 will remind you that it is
not by books alone, or books chiefly, that a
man becomes in all points a man. Study to
do faithfully whatsoever thing in your actual
situation, then or now you find either express
ly or tacitly, laid down to your charge-that is
your post-stand to it like a true soldier
Silently deyour the many chagrins of it, and
all situations have many, and see you aim not
to quit it without doing all that it at least re-
quires of you. 4 man perfects himself by
work much more than by reading There are
growing kim Of men that can wisely combine
the two othings-wisely, valiantiy, can do what
is laid to their hand in the present sphere
and prepare themselves withaI for doing other
wiser things, if such lie lefore them.''

Nothing done Without Labor.

Nothing done Without Labor.
There is an important principle stated in a
remark which we find, occurring in sketch
of the history of Whitney's Cotton Gin. The
writer, referring to the labor and toll which the
invention cost, says:
.sThere is a theory much in favor with the
inventors and the public, and often enforced
with many plausible instances, that brilliant
discoveries are made by accident; and, indeed
it is easy to collect examples where chance
has given birth to very wonderful realities-
But if we could institute more careful inqui.
ries, we should learn that the fortunate acct
dent only set in motion train to receive it.
Such accidents never happen to fools. a ma
jority of cases show US the new discovery e.
laborated by repeated trials, and each improve
ment won at the cost of unremitting expert
ment and thought
