e lrtEl'S Fashions.

Eartlr's fashions never have changed
Glorious too, the sky above her, in its
vesturc Of fadeless blue and studding of
blazing brilliants. The race run mad
after new fashions, and brains are rack
ed after new styles. But earth wears
the ones she wore six thousands years
ago. 1t annually fades, and leaf and
bloom drop from its field, but the mys
FERROUS alchemy of the season %retouchcs
the garment with the same varied and
beautiful coloring. Not a leaf or blade,
or flower has charged. The sky has the
same blue, and the stars are as bright as
when they sang together in the NOR
ming of the creation. The lilies of the
vallcy-thcy toll not neither do they
spin-yet the creation of art cannot vie
With their beatty. How calmly and how
orandly natur marches on to the mt
sic of the winds, the streams, the songs
of birds, and the falling Of the rain, her
night ~journeyings lit by the clamps on
high" and the sunbeams of the days,
glistcning her peaceful armor of vowers
and foliage and shimmering waters. Her
banners rustic in the winds of summer,
and in autumn, rem by still gorgeous
and Haunting, sweeping by to the beat
of the fail and the reapers song, and
the dreamy piping of the crickets in the
fields. We are glad that earth's fash
ions never Change Wis. CHEF.

Commercial Failure Improve
Rncnf in Ia d..

The effects ofthe financial revuls ion
of last year, so far at least as they are
indicated by commercial failures in this
ity, seem to de yielding to the improv-
Ell condition of trade which has been
apparent for some time past.
The first crash OF the revulsion came
on the 9th Of August, 1857, with the
failure of the Ohio Life and Trust COM
pany; and from that date to the LIST o.
October following the commercial fail
ures in this city amounted to one hun
dred and twenty six. For the 81 ne pc
Rod this year the failures number only
twelve, and from the LIST or April to the
present date enly ffty-two, and many of
these are doubtless houses which have
bnee dragging alone since the crisis Of
asst fall. The scarcity of failures this
year, however, cannot be attributed so
much to an improved trade as to the
fact that most Of the lar re houses in the
city which were destined to break-all
which had expanded too much-have
smashed up long ago, and it was only
the small fry that remained to be finish
ed off this year. Besides, it must be Ia
ken into account that there is not more
than half the trade doing now that there
was at this time m 1S57-although it is
rapidly reviving-and what trade is be-
ing done is conducted with more caution
ca h and not ruinously long credits Is
to a greater extent than ever before, the
medium of trade. Business men have
had a wholesome lesson, which will prob
ably last them for the next five years,
when, according to previous experience
We may expect il return to The old sys

certain precursors of another financial
crisis in ten or twelve years to come.
While this is true of the State of af
fairs in the city OF New York, other At
lantic cities show a similar record. The
failures from April l, 1883, to October
1, we're: In Boston eight jim Philadelphia
eighteen, and in Baltimore thirty four
The total number of commercial fIl:-
ures throughout the Union for the same
period was nine hundred and ninety six
"a great decrease from last year. The
arercrate amount Of the above failures
is probably less than half what it was
in 1857. These facts we learn from the
we'll organized commercial agency OF Nc
Killop & Wood, Beekman street and
they are very interesting as indication
of the current of business throughout
the cou1try.-Nctc York Herald, oct. T.!
