Fanny Fern on Dress.

1t is my opinion, after al tiias Is
said, that women dress much nnoF;
with an eye TO their OVID sex, than
to the other. What man, unless be
is dry goods merchant, knows
whether a woman wears Honiton or
cotton lace? What man else knows
ltbe value oftha dainty handkerchiefs
with which ladies ostentatiously pol
lish their pretty noses? What man
felse knews, or cares to know, the
value Of the camel's hair shawl,
spread 50 carefully over their shoul-
Iders? By the rood: not one. But
the delicate peacock possessor re-
joices that every feminine eye which
rests upon it, computes its value to a
fraction Yes women dress much
more for each others eyes than meu.
! never knew man whose opinion
was worth asking, who did not pre-
fer to see a pretty woman (and /
imagine the most demure Of EN-
don't look long at any other) nnos-
tentatfouly and modestly dressed;
and ! never saw a pretty woman who
did not look ipretty in her phinest
home dress, than in her NEST elabo-
rate adernmen;s. But alas! for plain
home dresses--where are tbey?-
Where is the pretty delaine, and

A Frightened Hoosief.

ing in one hand section Of bread.
and in the other huge bologna sau-
sage. At almost every step he would
satisfy the cravings of his appetite
with bite from each of the aforesaid
articles. Pat no sooner saw him
than be determined upon a joke.
As the Hoosier passed Pat, rat
ran across the sidewalk, at which he
wickedIy made kick.
"Leaye that alone!" yelled Pat, as
ii angry.
Leave it alone?p replied the
Hoosier looking at Pat with his
mouth full of bologna. ''what you
want feller toleaye that alone fur?
Because it belongs to me, and /
will not have it abused
"Belongs to you'll What on airth
do you want to do with rats?'
''Make bologna sausages with
them: sir, and right nice ones they
make too
The hoosier waited to hear no
more but throwing his bologna as
far as the strength of his arm would
send it, with an "Ah ooh pchtu
pchtu!' he hastened to the nearest
groggery for three cents dram to,
as he expressed it, .'take the darned

Hong, yet fear to love! for have seen
So much of falsehood, and so much of guile
And have known such dark and deadly sil
Lurk in the silence of beaning smile,
And in my own hearts chambers there hatl
So much of sorrowrankiing all the while,
! That when my soul sits brooding like dove
! think of this-and long, yet fear to love,
/ long, yetfear to lovel couldnot bear
To fling my rich affection upon one -s
VIII ose inmost spirit was not wholly fair,
In love less pure and lavish than mine own;
And oh! my heart would break in its despair
To find the visions it had dreamed DER
THROWN !.
So, when my heart and pulses wildly move,
| think of this-and long, yet fear to love!
/ long, yet fear to love! my soul hath bled
From its too perfect truth in VOWS unkert,
And I had deemed that all my love was dead
Yet now I know that it hath only slept
But oh! if evermore above my head
There sweeps the. tempest that before hath
swept,
Heart, mind and brain would wrecked and
shattered prove;
And knowing this-I long. yet fear to love!
Hong, yet fear TO love! oh! who will come
And speak the words l am athirst to hear?
o who will make this yearning heart her
home,
And be there thrilling through each mystic
9gl year? M .lR afN
Oh who will touch these lips SO cold and

With the live coal from Loves own altar

Is there no answer? must my spirit rove
Ever--as now--and long, yet fear to love?

All Of the Same ldea---A Good joke

A Prussian journal, of the lower
Rhine, tells a very good story Of a
religious community thereon, who
appreciating the long and able servi-
ces of their faithful minister, unan-
imous!y resolved, as a slight tesfi-
monial Of the sane, to present him
this year Of a 5ountifuI vintage, each
| with a bottle of white wine. The
minister was, of course, duly sensi-
tive to this delicate tribute of. love
and affection, as we'll as pretty proud
of it, as aa evidence that his minis
try had not been altogether in vain,
and at considerable expense prepared
in his cellar huge, ornamented cask,
into which on the appointed day, APP
peared every member Of his flock
aud emptied bis bottle. But what
was the surprise Of the minister as
we'll as of the generous donors on
tasting from the now overlooking
cask, to find thatit was not wine but
waierl A strange thing, certainly,
and of which we have no other ex-
planation than this, that every mem
ber-of the society asof the same
idea, that one bottle of water would
not be noticed in a whole cask OF
wine. E

sumed 10 an oven prepared for the

Of money, or any valuable, however
trifing, the letter and contents are
handed over To- another clerk, who
simply examines the name and ad-
dress, and then euCl0ses the whole
back to the writer. The rest OF the
letter he is forbidden TO read. If
the writer cannot be found, the let
ter Is then carefully preserved,
With its contents, for years; until
every chance Of its being reclaimed,
has died away. During the last
quarter twelve thousand six hundred

about twenty Two hundred letters at

The Papier Mache Art

Twas towards the close of the last
century that iron tea-tays began to
be initiated or superseded, by lapler
mache. and from these trays has grad
uslly sprung up an important depart
ment Of industry, in which the city
of Birmingham. England, exeeis all
other places. The true papier mache'
which was introduced about thirty
wears ago. and from which such won
derons variety of decorative erna-
ments is produced, is almost entirely
psper. There may be a small per
centape of other material to impart
certain minor qualities, but it is es-
ssptiaily PAPER of any ana every de-
seription. The usual kind Of papier
naehe is pastelike mass formed OF
Paper pulp. and pressed to any form IN
moaids. This paper, be it of what kiad
!. nav, orof as many kinds rs may, is
moistened, and chopped and minced,
and routed about until it becomes a
perfectly homogeneous mss OF paste,
or rather a mass having.a consistency
like tIat of dough or putty. A trl-
fling portion Of other substances is
then. introduced. but not sufficient to
alter tie general eharacserof the mass
as a paper substance. Then l., comes
the moulding or pressing, The ma
terial is too thick to be poured lnto
mould like Plaster Of Pais, or like
molten metal, like clay composition,
or gntta percha. A piece IS cut of,
about enough for the article to be
made OF; it is pressed we'll into the
mould. a counter mouldis then placed
upon it. and the force of powerful
press is brought to bearupon. it. SO
as . to drive the material into every
minute csevice Of the mould. A
knifeis employed to dexterously looz
sen the paper at the edges, the grea-
spd state of the mould allows the pa
nar to be removed from9t. fhenthe'
;mperfections are removed and the
adornments are put on.

A Sermon for effect, should be

sermon thus:
Without the least ceremony,
friendly hearers, | drop in among
you, You need preaching as the
dried herring need rain. Yon need

strap of every day gospel, and it is

other noise; My duty is as plain
as your abominable wickedness. :

as shingle would yearn over the
tenderer parts of a scbool-boy. Like
a lean turkey in grasshOpper time,
| am bound to pursue you in every
hiding place, and drag your iniqui-
ties tolight. AS terrible as fish

the cheek, as mild as mother to

An old woman who lived near the
frontier during the last war with
Great Britain, and possessed a mar
velous propensity to learn the news.
used frequently to make inquiries Of
soldiers. On one occasion she cal
led to one of those defenders Of our
rights, whom she had frequently
saluted before.
.'What s the news?
"Wby, good woman" said be, 1.-THE
Indians have fixed a crowbar under
Lake Erie, and are going to turn it
over aud drown the world!'
'sOh, mercy, what shall ! do?'
and away she ran to tell the neigh
bors Of the danger, and inquire Of her
minister how such calamity might
be averted.
"Why," said be, "you need not
be alarmed-we have our Maker {
promise that be will not again des-
troy the world by water.''

lady hastily, shut he's nothing te
