Hoops.

Some editors appear to think that hoops
must now go out of fashion, because they are
becoming so common, in their use. to the
whole sex. We beg 10 put in doubt on that
subject. The same reason would drive stays
oul of the feminine market altogether. Wo-
men wear them, instead, universally, and con
sole themselves by limiting the distinction to
form and costliness. And thus it will be with
the hoop. 1t is one OF the most comfortable,
OF all inventions, recently applied to female
costume. 1t is too useful, too valuable an ar
ticle, therefore, to be slightly abandoned. 1t
is SO seldom the sex are favored with discov-

judicious, that they cannot afford to relinguish
one when possessed of it. Fashion may BAN

more than they do those who indulge in them
and desire to transmit healthy physique to
posterity. But the modern hoop has nothing
in common with such ecccntricities. When
not exaggerated in its dimensions by bad taste
it is beautiful innovation upon the old habit
of wearing the entire wardrobe perdu, in order
to give sufficiently yoluminous flow to the
drapery outside. Such an auxiliary to nature

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

The Cleveland Herald has the fol-
lowing touching comments on charity:
A gentleman had observed little
girl clad in rags passing him with a
bottle, which she carried to grocer
to be filled with whisky, and with
which she returned home. One bitter
cold morning, when the snow drfted
in the streets, he saw the child strug-
Cling homeward through the snow
with the omnipresent bottle--hcr little
bare legs glowing with the cold. He
called her into his house, which she
entered reluctantly, and his wife-onc
OF those never backward in deeds of
kindness--clothed the child with warm
hose and comfortable cloak, and
warm and happy she went home, still
bearing the bottle, which was the sole
cause of her own and sisters sorrow.
Her father was a man who owed the
gentleman considerable sum. Even
ing came and the drunken father WIS.,
tied the gentleman--but he was now
a sober man; that day the contents of
the bottle remained untouched
"Oh, sir" he said, IL owe you mon

NO" was the reply, ~ cancel the
debt; but you must quit drinking"
Tears stood in the mans eyes as
he said:
"Sir, | owe you, and you clothed
my child when whisky made me

And he has not. That simple act of
charity and kindness has touched the
chord which thousand lectures or
words of rcmonstrance would never

YOUNG MEN.

The most anxious moment in the
history OF a young man, is that mo-
ment when lie forsakcs the parental
roof, and goes forth into the world to
seek livelihood. The interests of life
are crowded into that period. The
tears Of mother, the counsels Of a
father, consecrate that eventful mo.
ment. Away from old associates, and
settled in some new home, how apt the
fomer restraints are to be cast off?
The trial of virtue now comes. The
test of principle is now applied. Ifhc
holds fast his integrity, the prayers OF
his father and mother, rising oft when
the still dews are falling, will bring
blessings as thick as the mama that
fell round the camp of the Israelites,
down upon his path. But if he prove
faithless, then will memory embitter
his life, then will his parents welcome
the grave, that they may hide their
dishonor in the dust.

Thou art not dead--thou art not gone to dust
No line of all thy loveiness shall fall

Thou can-t not wholly perish, though tho sod

Though by the feet Of generations tsoi,

The sweetness Of thy presence cannot fade;

Death may not keep what death has never ma !e

The same bcwilderng beauty sanctlci

For him who seeks but cannot reach thy side

WASHINGTON's FAREWELL,

The following extracts are from a let
ter written by lady upwards Of eighty
years cd, residing i'll Philadelphia, to
her grandson in Washington:
when General Washington delivc-
red his farewell address, in the room
at the southeast corner of Chestnut
and Sixth streets, l sat Immediately
in front of him. 1t was in the room the
Congress occupied. The table of the
Speaker was between the two win
dows on Sixth street, The daughter of
DR.. c, of Alexandria, the physi-
clan and intimate friend of Washing
ton, Mrs. Il, whose husband was
the Auditor, was a very dear friend of
mine. Her brother, Washington, was
one OF the secretaries of Gen. Wash
lngton. cambridge, nephew of Mrs.
Washington, was the other | was in
cluded in Mrs. lis party to wit
ness the august-the solemn scene.
" Il declined going with
Mrs. Il, who had determined to
go so early as to secure the front seat.
1t was fortunate for N C, after
wards Mrs. L, that she would not
trust herself to be SO near her honored
grandfather My dear father stood very
near her; she was terribly agitated.
There was narrow passage from the
door OF entrance to the room, which
was on the east, dividing the rows of
benches. General Washington stopped
az the end to let Mr.. Adams pass to
the chair. The latter always wore a
full suit Of bright drab, with slash, or
rather loose cuffs. He also wore wrist
rutfles. He had not changed his fashion.

With his whole family, he generally
attended church twice every Sabbath.
General Washington's dress was
full! suit of black. His military hat had
black cockade. There stood the IA
thcr of his country, acknowledged by
nations the first in war; first in peace,
and the first in the hearts of his coun-
trymen.' No marshals, with gold col
ored scarfs; no cheering The most pro-
found silence greeted him, as if that
great assembly desired to hear him
breathe and catch his breath-the ho-
mage of the heart. Mr.. Adams covered
his face with both his hands. The sleeve
of his coat and his hands were covered
with tears. Every now and then there
was suppressed sob. cannot de-
scribe Washington's appearance as
felt it--pertectly composed and self
possessed till the close of his address.
Then, when strong mems sobs broke
loose, when tears covered their faces,
then the great man was shaken. new.

drops came from his eyes. He looked
to the grateful children who were part

his heart was with them, and would
be to the end" "-Nationai Iateligencer.

GOOD SOCIETY.

1t should be the aim of young men
to go into good society; not the rich,
the proud. and fashionable, but the
society of the wise, the intelligent,
and the good. Where you find virtu-
Gus men that know more than you do,
and from worse conversation you can
gather information, it is always safe
to be found Many man has been
ruined, by associating with the low
and vulgar. Lord Clarendon attribut-
ed his success and happiness i'll life,
to associating with persons more
learned and virtuous than himself. Ii
you wish to be wise and respected, if
you desire happiness and not misery,
we advise you to associate with the
intelligent and good. Strive for moral
excellence and strict integrity, and
you will never be found in the sinks
Of pollution, OF on the benches ofretail-
ers and gamblers. Once habituatc
yourself to virtuous coursc-once Sc
cure love for good society, and no
punishment would be greater than by
accident to be obliged for half day
to associate with the low and vicious.

Autumn.

How pleasingly melancholy it is to wander
in the grove in autumn time--to sit upon a
quiet knoll there, and muse upon the transito-
ry nature of all things earthly If it is eve
ming, and the moon glimmers family through
the meaning trees, the scene is deepened-
intensity of loneliness is heightened. There
You sit, hushed and motionless, for the power
OF the spirit Of night is upon your senses.
You browse but a moment-you begin to
dream-and with a start you awake All,
you thought one stood beside yOu-one that
ha< ided to you through the darkness Of the
grove-but no-you did only dream The
form that you saw in your slumber comes to
your side no more-sare in dreams, All. sad
leaves cease your plaintive whispcrins-why
be forever talking of the departed
You take that picture from your bosom and
let the moolight lie full upon it, Was ever
any thing so sorrowfully fair, Your heart
looks through your eyes. You think there
never WAS beauty like that beauty. How
those lips smile on you. Oh, your bosom
swells and your tears flow down--they may
flow now, for night conCcals them. Such
grief is poetic, and perhaps you chant before
seeking your chamber
"I dream Of one Whose pct rei face before m,
LOOKS from is frame with sach del- haTnted eyes
That the sweet powe tie pres w.s.leth Ger M,

Bayard Taylor.

The story of Bayard Taylor is one Of melan-
choly interest While paying his addresses
to an amiahle and gifted young lady she sick
ened and died; but just before her departure,
and when it was certain that she could not
long survive, the nuptial ceremonies were per-
formed thus scaling in death hour the pledge
made in days of blooming health. Since that
time young Taylor has been wanderer over
the world, remaining ever true to youths first
love. This much have we deemed it proper
to say in order to the better understanding of
