LITTLE G1REs-THEIR COSTUMES IN
PAR1s.-Very beautiful are little girls, as
the poet says; and very charming cos
tunes have been devised fof them by the
modistes Of Paris, as will appear from the
following extract:
Great attention is paid and much taste
displayed in the toilettes Of little girls.
Plaid silks of two colors-white and blue
pink and white-are much used for frocks
The corsage has lappets, and is trimmed
with fringes and pendant buttons. On the
skirt, at the hight Of the knee, there is a
fringe four inches deep, Of the same color
as the plaid silk. The sleeves form hollow
plaits fastened down at intervals by silk
buttons, and terminate in the fan shape,
and are finished with two rows Of fringes
Another pretty frock, of purple silk, has a
low body, cut square In front, and tffrhmed
with lappets. The skifts are covered with
three founees, Ahick are decorated; like
the lappets, with black and purple braid
The sleeves are tight to the elbow, and
are trimmed with deep fringe. Petticoats
and pantaloons for girls aid little boys are
all richly embroidered, and trimmed with
lace. For little boys 3ser six years the
costume consists Of round vests Of very fine
cloth, fancy trousers, white quilting waist
coats, and narrow silk cravat. From
two to six years the costume is a skirt in
hollow plaits, a little jacket very profusely
trimmed with buttons and braid.

SPURGEoN's IDEAS OF DANCING
The Rev. Mr.. Sturgeon has discovered
that dancing is very healthy exercise,
and to be commended; but it is the dan
cling of ladies with gentlemen that is so
Objectionable land so he recommends that
they practice the entertainment separ-
ately. We fear that this arrangement
will not find much favor with either sex,
A lauies' quadrille is pretty enough, but
what shall be said of eight fellows with
boards on their faces, grimly doing Il
Etc in pursuit of health and qualifications
However, there is nothing like novelty
and the least that the aristocrats who are
advertised as patronizing Mr.. Spurgeon
and who would condemn the vulgar Gu
riosity" of humber sermon hunters, car
do is to try his plan at their own reunion.
He quadrilles," "She polkas," would
make a good card of invitation. Surely
the title patrons of this individual are no
going TO discredit him by showing tina
his labors produce no fruit.

\ Costly BIBLE. There Is still in
existence a copy Of the Bible, printed on
ve!lum, which has been sold as high as
$4,000. Il is one Of the few remaining
copies of the first printed edition of the
Bible. 1t may not be generally known
that the Bible was the first book printed
after the discovery of the art of printing.
1t was a work of about one thousand three
hundred pages, and consisted oftwo large
folio volumes. \ vast amount of time
and labor was required TO print it. And
| the fact that it was not written with a pen.
as other copies had been was for long
time concealed. This work was done
about the year l445-more than 400
years ago. Who can estimate its infu-
ence on the world /? As the Bible was
the first book printed, so there have been
more copies Of the Bible printed thar
any other work. 1t is now translated in
to the leading lang Iage5 of the earth.
