The Fashions.
The local editor Of St. Louis daily,
takes off the fashions as follows. We
opine that st. Louis is not the only
place, and that "local -" the only per-
son, who viii find it convenient to
adopt these fashions -
OvERCoATs. Sin 'overcoats we see
little to attract fashionable attention.
The overcoats of last year will be much
worn, and in many instances 1--WE know
of one within our observatory the ov-
ercoats of three years ago will be the
style. The money market has so af-
fected the style of overcoats that the
seediest will be, beyond doubt, the
most worn, and therefore the most
fashionable. people owning old
clothes will please make note
SHIRTS. the times are grow
ing more finty than ever, soap be-
comes more distant from the means OF
the washerwoman. AS consequence
the style of shirts known as dirty "
will be most likely to obtain, unless
soap and washerwomen are reduced in
price, Or wearers go into colored con-
fdential garments. The variety OF
shirt that can be the easiest covered
with scarf, will be the most in vogue. +"

Kissing. n
Printers, although considered to be
without sympathy, or a knowledge of
the effects of love and its associates,
often redeem themselves by their pen,
as is the case with the Brother who
thus gives vent to his feelings =
Kisses are said to be like creation
they are made out of nothing, and are
very good. A kiss is the efervescence
of love, bubbling from the Utmost soul,
and exploding, like a rose, from sheer
exhaustion to contain its sweets. 1t
is zephyr oppressed with perfume !;
an unseen blush dancing on the cheek,
and diffusing its heart-awakening rap
lures to every portion of the frame
1t is the first seat of marriage; the
parting farewell of death. 1t is the
token of reconciliation between severed
friends; the'symbol of Christian fell
lowship from stranger to stranger.
But to the lover, it is Paradise OF
enrapturing bliss, heaven upon earth:

Then, the plan of action being agreed

tures) are better known in most of our
schools and family circles, and afford
great scope for the exercise of artistic
knowledge and taste in their arrange
ment. 1t is not to be expected that
the representations given at the pri-
vate residence will rival those given at
noted places of amusement. yet with
little care and a few Instructions from
books on the subject, very brilliant and
pleasing scenes may be arranged with
but little trouble and at an almost
nominal expense The great require
ment on the part of the performers, az
ter carefully studying the effect of
light and shade, is to remain perfectly
still-a feat which may be performed
by practicing before mirror. Where
a large group is to posed, there is Of
ten tendency to laugh-why, it is
hard to say; but this may be over
come by frequent rehearsals. Music
adds much to the effect of any tab
leaux. We shall here close with the
intention of resuming the subject
again, when we hope to be able to
make more suggestions which will rem
der home more attractive during these
long winter nights which soon will be
upon us.

In speaking of the new iron bridge
about to be erected over the Bushkill,
at Stockertown, by the County Com
missioners, of Northampton Co., the
Easton Argus says: 1.-The contractor
is Mr.. Gown, of Lambertville, N. j.,
who agreed to put up the bridge, finish
and paint it throughout. for the sum
of $675. It is SO feet long. Those
who have tried these bridges say they
are much cheaper and more durable
than those built of wood or stone and
will last century if an occasional coat
of paint is given Them. Our commits
sioners are determined to test them,
and if this one will answer the purpose
quite a saving can be effected for the
County in the item of building bridges.
The contractor commenced putting it

A Decided Calm.

After the tempestuous storm of last
week we are having calm, which
weighs heavily on all manner of ex-
citement. Nothing stirring, and even
the dogs refrain from their vocations.
Politicians find their occupation gone,
as the Swarthy Moor would say, and
have nothing to do but to suck their
fingers, eat peanuts, and white away
the dry goods boxes on the store cor
ners. Local items are as scarce as
hens teeth" as they say out West,
and nothing reigns supreme. How
we long for the discovery of gold
mine in our cellar, or something else.
