THE BASQUE AMAzoNE, Or Ladies' Shan
ghai' really don't know where Fashion
is running to, nor CAN we pretend to predict
where she will stop. One thing, however, we

for it's fact--a melancholy fact
All our fashonabes, and poor "unfashion-

short-waisted coats of the dandies created when
tie boys laughed when they Shanghai"
on the treets. But what will be said now that
lovely woman-"Heavens last, best gift to
man, us taking to herself the coat (another
part of his drapery has long since been worn
by some of the fair creatures) of the sterner
sex? But alas, it has been done And several

nothing shorter"
The 6asque ansazone, seriously, is an odd look

laughter; but if our fair friends want to look
oddly and make people laugh at them, they
have alright to wear. them; most assufedly;

little trimming, and widen the sleeves frac-

TRAGIC AFFA1R.-The Swedish papers relate
strange occurrence. ''As the inha bitants Of

were surprised to see large knife, very sharp

Lindemann, who was abont to take part in q
dance AT the same moment three other sim-
lar knives fell one a fter the other and wounded
him iu the hand, the back, and the abdomen, and
then came one which struck in the heart, ard he
fell dead. It could not be discovered who had
thrown the knives, but the police, knowing that
a peasant named Silocquit, bore great anmosity.
to the deceased. on account of his having been
preferred by asyonng woman named Ahlquist, to
whom they had both paid their addresses, sohght
after him, aud after two days search arrested
him in the midst of band Of gipses in forest,
dressed of them. On being searched,
eleren knives similar to those thrown at Lnds-'
mann were discovered, and it was ascertained
that the gipsies had taught him to throw knives
with such precision to cause them to fall ex>
actly at a given point. The Young woman,
Ahquist was SO affected at the tragical affair
that she drowned herself.

/, 1t is now some years since the old styled
hymns, originally adopted and sung in the pur
tan churches were laid aside for the improved

But we can recollect good many stanzas that

strong tincture of truth in these homely lines,
which may be commended to the notice of our
"fast" young men. The following lines ad-

the gravcstones of two rivals in church yard
near London. The first reads
